Su Qingmei rubbed her eyebrows and said, “Xu Yan called just now and said that Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company suddenly called to say that they wanted to cancel their cooperation with us. They even said that they would no longer provide our company with medicinal herbs in the future.

“We’ve been cooperating with Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company for several years. We’ve always been mutually beneficial and have a good relationship.

However, I did not expect Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company to be so ruthless this time. They did not even give us any time to prepare.

Now that our company is intensifying the development of new products, we can’t do without medicinal herbs.

Once the supply is stopped, the development of new products will definitely be delayed. Moreover, it will cause a lot of trouble for the subsequent product production.”

Yang Luo asked, “Is this Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company from the Heroes Chamber of Commerce?”

“That’s right.”

Su Qingmei nodded and said, “I knew President Cai from the Heroes Chamber of Commerce.”

“That’s strange.”

Yang Luo frowned and said, “Didn’t President Shen say that she would help us persuade the bosses of those companies?”

Su Qingmei said, “While President Shen is willing to help persuade, and many bosses will show her some face…

… This doesn’t mean that all the bosses will listen to President Shen. Moreover, President Shen has no right to interfere with the decisions of those bosses.”

Yang Luo said, “Since this Baolin Medicinal Herb Company wants to cut ties with us, can’t we just find another medicinal herb company?”

Su Qingmei said, “That’s true, but the key is that no medicinal herb company is willing to cooperate with us anymore.

Because in their opinion, our company no longer has any future.

“Of course, even if a medicinal herb company is willing to cooperate with us, we have to spend time negotiating. This will waste a lot of time.”

Yang Luo asked, “Then what should we do now?”

Su Qingmei thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to Baolin Medicinal Herb Company directly to talk to President Cai now.”

“Fine.”

Yang Luo nodded and turned on the navigation system, heading straight for the Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company.

Not long after, the car arrived at a 30-story office building in the city center called Huitong Building.

After parking the car, Yang Luo followed Su Qingmei towards the Huitong Building.

“How strong is this Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company?”

Yang Luo asked in curiosity.

“The Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company is very powerful in Jiang City. It’s considered one of the largest medicinal herbs companies in Jiang City. It works with many pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.”

Su Qingmei replied and added, “Of course, in the beginning, the scale of the Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company was not big.

“The reason why the Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company can become stronger is all thanks to Director Tang’s help.”

“Director Tang?”

Yang Luo was stunned, “Which Director Tang?”

Su Qingmei said, “Of course it’s Director Tang Dexin from the Central Hospital.

The President of the Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company is Cai Donglai. His sister is Director Tang’s wife.

“It’s precisely because of this that Cai Donglai relied on Director Tang’s connections and resources to allow the Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company to develop rapidly.”

“I see.”

Yang Luo nodded in realization and said, “In that case, I’ll call Director Tang.

As long as Director Tang is willing to speak up for us, I believe Cai Donglai won’t dare to cancel the cooperation with our company.”

Su Qingmei said, “But if we ask Director Tang for help, I’ll owe him a favor. I don’t like to owe others a favor because it’s really difficult to return a favor.”

Yang Luo smiled and said, “You don’t have to return Director Tang’s favor. I’ll return it.”

Su Qingmei pursed her lips and said, “Let’s talk to Cai Donglai first. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll get Director Tang to help.”

“Alright.”

Yang Luo nodded.

After entering the Huitong Building, Su Qingmei spoke to the front desk.

Soon, Cai Donglai’s assistant came down.

Under the lead of the female assistant, Yang Luo and Su Qingmei took the elevator all the way to the 25th floor and arrived at the door of the President’s office.

The female assistant knocked on the door and said, “President Cai, President Su is here.”

“Invite President Su in.”

A slightly hoarse male voice came from inside.

He pushed open the door and walked in. He saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt with a big belly and a bald head sitting at his desk, reading documents.

This middle-aged man was the President of the Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company, Cai Donglai.

“I didn’t expect President Su to come. Sorry for not coming out to welcome you.”

Cai Donglai put down the document and greeted them with a smile.

Su Qingmei also smiled and said, “President Cai is a busy person. If it weren’t for an urgent matter, I wouldn’t have disturbed you.”

“Hey, I’m just busy with random matters, nothing too important.”

Cai Donglai chuckled, then looked at Yang Luo and asked, “This is?”

Su Qingmei replied, “He’s my assistant, Yang Luo.”

“Oh…”

Cai Donglai nodded and raised his hand. “President Su, Assistant Yang, please sit.”

As he spoke, Cai Donglai even asked his assistant to pour two cups of tea.

After pouring the tea, the female assistant left the office.

Cai Donglai sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He lit a cigarette and asked, “May I know why President Su is looking for me?”

Su Qingmei went straight to the point. “President Cai, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I just want to ask you, why did you suddenly cancel your cooperation with our company?”

“Oh, you’re talking about this.”

Cai Donglai flicked the cigarette ash and said, “President Su, to be honest, I’ve considered this decision for many days.

There was no choice. There were more and more companies working with our Baolin Medicinal Herbs Company now, so our demand for medicinal herbs was almost unable to keep up.

“That’s why we want to cancel our cooperation with some companies to relieve the pressure.”

“Then why did you choose us?”

Su Qingmei frowned. “President Cai, we’ve been working together for three years and have never had any disputes.

But why did you say that you would terminate the cooperation with us just like that? Why didn’t you even talk to us about it.”

“Well…”

Cai Donglai exhaled a long puff of smoke and put on a difficult expression.

Su Qingmei said, “President Cai, please tell me the truth.”

“Sure.”

Cai Donglai stubbed out his cigarette and said, “Since President Su wants to hear the truth, I’ll tell you the truth.

Right now, Hua Mei Biomedical is getting worse by the day. There was no hope at all. It’s only a matter of time before the company will go under.

“If we continue to cooperate with you, once your company goes bankrupt, it will affect our company greatly.

“So, in order to minimize the risk, I can only do this. President Su, please understand.”

Hearing Cai Donglai’s words, Su Qingmei’s expression turned even uglier.

She frowned and said, “President Cai, aren’t you going a little too far?

“Our company is still fine now. How can it go bankrupt?”

Cai Donglai stubbed out his cigarette and said, “Yes, your company is still fine now, but how long can you last under the suppression of Ding Sheng Biomedical?”
