chapter 26 She can't wait any longer

"Raise it by two points?" Clark Gu suddenly frowned. "Ms. Fu, didn't we already agree on the terms before? We're about to sign the contract now. Why the sudden price increase?" Seeing his surprised expression, Olivia Fu leisurely crossed her legs and spoke in a relaxed tone, "Indeed, we had an agreement, but this year, the prices in the herbal medicine market have generally increased. If we were to proceed with the contract at the original price, we'd be at a significant loss. I hope Dr. Gu can understand." Her words sounded quite reasonable. Clark Gu's face slightly tightened, and he was about to say something when Ja Jiang intervened. "I believe Ms. Fu decided to raise the price because she saw me, isn't that right? I'm also well-informed about the herbal medicine market prices. We can discuss the price increase, but raising it by two points all at once is quite unreasonable." Ja Jiang had intended to keep the discussion professional, but it was clear the other party was trying to make things difficult, and she didn't need to tolerate that. Upon hearing this, Olivia Fu frowned displeasedly and spoke sternly, "Regardless of the reason, this is our offer. If you find it unsuitable, our company has no shortage of business opportunities." Ja Jiang calmly replied, "In that case, consider today a wasted trip. A company like Fu Pharmaceuticals, which goes back on its word, wouldn't make us feel secure even if we were to cooperate." With that, Ja Jiang stood up and turned to Clark Gu. "Let's go." Clark Gu nodded, and the two of them left the café. "Do you have some history with Olivia Fu?" Once they were outside, Clark Gu couldn't hold back and asked. He had clearly sensed Olivia Fu's hostility towards Ja Jiang during their business discussion. Ja Jiang didn't want to dwell on past events and gave a brief reply, "You could say that." Seeing she didn't want to elaborate, Clark Gu changed the topic and mentioned the herbal medicine supplier, "Since we won't be cooperating with Fu Pharmaceuticals, we'll need to find another herbal medicine supplier." Ja Jiang nodded. "Then let's find one. Hai City is vast, and apart from Fu Pharmaceuticals, there are surely other herbal medicine suppliers willing to work with us." "Very well," Clark Gu nodded with a smile. He was more inclined to avoid Ja Jiang being targeted than to find a new herbal medicine supplier. Back in the café, after Ja Jiang had left, Olivia Fu's face was filled with coldness. She coldly instructed Dave Lin, "Immediately go and inform all the herbal medicine suppliers in Hai City. Any of them who dares to cooperate with the Vir Research Institute will be considered an enemy of Fu Pharmaceuticals!" Dave Lin didn't know the history between his mistress and the lady named Ja Jiang, but he could clearly sense the overwhelming pressure emanating from Olivia Fu since they had encountered Ja Jiang. Hearing his mistress's tone now, he shuddered and wasted no time in responding, "Yes, I'll do it right away." With that, he got up and left, leaving Olivia Fu alone in the café. Thinking about Andrew Li's attitude earlier in the morning, as well as the sharp presence Ja Jiang exuded, Olivia Fu's heart was filled with anxiety. She couldn't be sure if Andrew Li's rejection had anything to do with Ja Jiang, but the fact remained that they had a past marriage. She was uncertain about Andrew Li's current stance towards that woman. If she continued to delay, she couldn't bear to imagine what might happen. She couldn't wait any longer! Li Group. "Sir, I've found information about the man who was with Miss Jiang last night," Barry Lu reported as he entered the room and stood respectfully before Andrew Li.
