Chapter 106
This statement was tantamount to handing the Senmao Group a death sentence! Offending the Mu family meant that it would be nearly impossible to maintain a foothold in the business world of Great Xia. Li Senmao was fully aware of the gravity of the situation; he froze on the spot, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word, his mind utterly blank.
“Senmao Group truly doesn’t know any better! How dare you offend the Mu family’s honored guest? It’s as if you don’t want to survive in Great Xia’s business circles!”
“We, Jiliang Group, hereby announce the immediate termination of all cooperative agreements with Senmao Group. We are placing Senmao Group on our blacklist, and there will be no future collaborations!”
The gathered business magnates were all shrewd individuals; none failed to grasp the meaning behind Mu Xue’s words. Immediately, some enterprises stepped forward, openly severing ties with Senmao Group.
Such actions were blatant attempts to curry favor with the Mu family, giving Mu Xue ample face.
Other companies, unwilling to lag behind, quickly followed suit, stepping forward to declare, “We, Haixing Pharmaceuticals, are fully terminating our contracts with Senmao Group!”
“Notify our technical staff to immediately withdraw from Senmao’s projects today—at once!”
“Li Maosen, regarding our contracts with the Tianqiao Group, forget about signing anything. Tomorrow’s cooperation meeting is canceled. Tianqiao Group will have no dealings with you whatsoever!”
In an instant, those who had just been quietly mocking Chu Tianhe now directed all their sharp criticism toward Senmao Group.
The shift in atmosphere was so abrupt it was staggering.
Hearing the furious rebukes, Li Maosen was completely dumbfounded. He quickly turned around and pleaded, “Chairman Wang, you can’t do this!”
“Chairman Zhang, you’ve been our long-term partner for so many years. If you withdraw now, it will also be a loss for you!”
“Chairman Liu, our cooperation isn’t just for a day or two; your initial investment in the project is already complete. Pulling out now would cause massive losses for both parties!”
Li Maosen grew desperate, sweat pouring down his forehead as he implored one by one.
Yet the chairmen of these enterprises wore frosty expressions, with no intention of listening to his pleas. No matter how hard Li Maosen tried to persuade them, none showed the slightest sign of changing their minds.
“Li Maosen, fate’s calamities may still be endured, but those brought on by one’s own hand are unforgivable!”
“You brought this upon yourself by offending Mr. Chu. Don’t blame others!”
“We can afford this loss. All cooperative projects are terminated!”
The chairmen were resolute, determined to demonstrate to Mu Xue their firm stance to sever ties with Senmao Group. Everyone present understood clearly that cutting ties with Senmao was, in essence, aligning themselves with the Mu family.
They all knew exactly where the true weight of allegiance lay.
“Mr. Chu, do you think... this approach is acceptable?”
Seeing the situation unfold as desired, Mu Xue’s beautiful eyes turned toward Chu Tianhe, her tone courteous and respectful as she inquired.
The moment she spoke, it sent a clear message to everyone present:
The Mu family appeared to be currying favor with Chu Tianhe!
Though the matter seemed bewildering, at this moment, the attitude displayed by the Mu father and daughter was unmistakable.
In an instant, the gaze of the assembled business magnates toward Chu Tianhe underwent yet another seismic transformation.
