Just then, a blue Ferrari stopped at the company entrance.
Wang Yuyan got out of the car and strode towards Qin Xuan.
"Director Wang!"
Wang Yuyan was a major shareholder of the company, and everyone knew her.
Gong Chang, who was about to leave through the main entrance, saw her and was about to greet her. However, Wang Yuyan ignored him, walked past him, and went straight to Qin Xuan. She then placed a blue folder from her bag on the table in front of Qin Xuan and said heartily,
"I've gotten you the raw material company. It took me quite some effort, so remember to reward me well."
To secure this raw material company, Wang Yuyan had contacted friends' companies in other cities and paid a considerable price to get them to open raw material channels for Hong Yan Company. The cost, however, was slightly higher.
Originally, Wang Corporation had two raw material companies under its umbrella, but Wang Yuyan couldn't contact the two individuals in charge. This convinced her that Qin Xuan was right.
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, the happiest person was not Qin Xuan, but the company employees.
With raw materials secured!
This meant the company's crisis would be overcome!
If the company crisis was over, then Qin Xuan's promised salary increase...
Everyone's gaze turned to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan understood their meaning and immediately picked up the file on the table, raising his hand, and shouted,
"Everything I said before still stands. Everyone's salary will increase by twenty percent!"
The company erupted in cheers.
"Long live President Qin!"
"I'll work for this company until I die!"
"How could Madam Tan have such an excellent man like President Qin!"
In an instant, everyone's perception of Qin Xuan changed dramatically.
No one spoke ill of Qin Xuan anymore. If anyone dared to say a bad word about him at this moment, they would likely fight to the death for him.
At this moment, Gong Chang and the others who were about to leave and had reached the door were filled with regret.
Most of them were cursing Gong Chang's ancestors.
"Damn it, didn't you say the company was going bankrupt? Now they have a raw material company."
"A twenty percent salary increase!"
Among the group of people who were about to leave, many were middle management. The company was worth at least twenty to thirty thousand.
A twenty percent salary increase meant several thousand more, which was a lot of money!
Gong Chang's face twitched, and his face was darker than coal.
Gong Chang was the biggest loser. His annual salary was millions, and a twenty percent increase would be hundreds of thousands!
Hundreds of thousands were equivalent to an ordinary person's lifetime earnings!
"Um, President Qin, just now..." Gong Chang knew he couldn't afford to lose money. A true man could bend and stretch, and it wasn't shameful.
However, how could Qin Xuan let such a turncoat stay in the company? He smiled at Gong Chang and said,
"Manager Gong, why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to come back? It's not impossible..."
Upon hearing this, Gong Chang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said,
"President Qin, I guarantee I will devote myself to the company from now on. I will handle all those affairs this afternoon and give you a satisfactory answer. If the company faces difficulties, I'll be the first to step up. If the company asks me to cut off my father's hand, I wouldn't hesitate! The company wants me to..."
"Wait..." Before Gong Chang could finish, Qin Xuan interrupted him by raising his hand.
"Don't rush. I haven't finished speaking. I wanted to say, the cleaning lady responsible for the toilets has taken leave to go back home, and we're short of someone to sweep the toilets. If Manager Gong wants to stay, you can go sweep the toilets."
"Pfft!" Wang Yuyan almost couldn't help herself and stifled a laugh, covering her mouth.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
Gong Chang's face changed drastically upon hearing this.
"You!"
Did he have to insult people like this? To ask him, a manager earning millions, to sweep toilets?
"Don't go too far!"
Qin Xuan chuckled and no longer paid attention to Gong Chang and the others. He walked out of the door with Wang Yuyan and, as he left, instructed the security guard to clear out any idle personnel from the company.
In Jiangbei, within a luxurious villa.
Around a long stone table, three people sat in their respective seats. Behind one of them stood a cold and glamorous beauty in a professional outfit.
"I didn't expect Wang Yuyan to return so quickly. If she had been a few days later, Hong Yan Company would have already collapsed," Li Shengtian said, taking a sip of his tea, and then spoke to another person.
"Wang Yuyan found new raw material channels from another city. What do you think?"
Jin Shikai frowned and pondered,
"For Hong Yan Company to find channels in another city, the cost alone would increase by at least forty to fifty percent. With such costs, they wouldn't make much profit."
"Then what do you mean..." Li Shengtian asked.
Jin Shikai thought for a moment and said,
"Uncle Li, we can actually start from the market... If Hong Yan Company spends so much to find raw material channels from outside the region, and the products ultimately don't sell, then..."
Li Shengtian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood.
"That's a good idea. However, this still won't quench my hatred. I must avenge my son being injured by that brat Qin Xuan!"
After a moment of thought, Li Shengtian added,
"When the plan begins, Hei Biao, you..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Shikai also gave Leng Xi, who was behind him, a look. At the same time, he thought to himself,
"Hmph, Tantai Yue, one day you'll end up in my bed."
Although the cost of raw materials from outside the region was high, there was still some profit to be made.
The raw material companies in Jiangbei City refused to cooperate with Hong Yan Company.
Furthermore, Wang Yuyan's grandfather was in the capital, and for a while, she couldn't think of any good solutions.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan used the recent free time to absorb the spiritual energy from the raw stone he acquired at the auction.
Although this raw stone was small in volume, it was enough for Qin Xuan.
The spiritual energy contained in this raw stone was more than ten times that of the stone he had previously picked up.
After absorbing the spiritual energy from the raw stone, at least ten dragon scales on Qin Xuan's back would have grown!
Qin Xuan's strength was already superior to that of ordinary martial artists. If ten dragon scales grew, his strength would be unimaginable.
After cultivating for seventy-two cycles, the fourth dragon scale on Qin Xuan's back had fully formed, and the fifth scale had begun to subtly appear.
Stopping his cultivation, Qin Xuan opened his eyes. He extended his right hand, circulated his Dragon Core, and a wisp of dragon energy from his right hand transformed into a small golden dragon coiled around his right arm.
Qin Xuan felt his physical strength had increased again. If he encountered the martial artist named Guan Wu, who was by Dan Bende's side, again, Qin Xuan was confident he could defeat him with a single punch.
"I've absorbed less than a tenth of the spiritual energy from this raw stone, and it has already caused five dragon scales to appear. If I absorb it completely, ten dragon scales are not impossible. I wonder if I can defeat that strange black-robed man then."
