Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2156 - 1643: Mutual Hostility

Because of a misunderstanding, Caroline was wary of Cooper, even harboring some hostility, and it was the same the other way around.

However, Cooper’s hostility towards Caroline had another origin.

The fact that Caroline was the true owner of the Ambery Company was unknown to the public, but the Cooper family was aware of it.

In the past two or three years, the Ambery Company had rapidly expanded, swallowing up various markets and indeed taking away a lot of business from the Cooper family.

In business, taking away someone’s livelihood is considered a severe enmity. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

During the election campaign, Caroline proposed reforms in the local medical field, including "improving the welfare of local pharmaceutical industry workers" and "providing cheaper medicines to the city," slogans that promised more benefits to the local pharmaceutical industry.

However, for the Cooper family, which had numerous large factories in Ganande, this was extremely disadvantageous.

Internally, the Cooper family had already secretly considered these as deliberate targeting by Caroline!

Because of this, even though the Cooper family did not openly oppose Caroline’s family, they provided covert help to her election opponents.

And of course, Caroline was aware of this situation.

The secret hostility between the two sides inevitably deepened.

This is also why, when Caroline saw Bai Xiaosheng with Cooper, she suspected that it was all the Cooper family’s manipulation behind the scenes.

There had long been a rift and grievance between the two parties.

Of course, compared to the Caroline family, the Cooper family was still lacking in strength.

That’s why Cooper was particularly eager to pursue Bai Yuefeng, hoping to gain the support of the Bai family and at least weaken the Bai family’s political support for Caroline.

At the moment, Cooper was watching Caroline at the medical banquet, talking and laughing with everyone, expounding on her beliefs, and felt even more displeased.

"Is Caroline really here just to garner votes, or is she also eyeing Dr. Cui Chen and his results?"

Cooper suddenly thought of this and was startled.

If Caroline personally steps in, her influence would naturally outweigh his; if she were to snatch Dr. Cui’s contract.

What should he do then!

"Caroline, don’t overdo it! Dr. Cui has been our family’s target from the beginning. With your status, you still personally step in to snatch him; it’s shameless to the extreme. If that’s really the case, how could I let you have your way!" Cooper secretly seethed.

Signing with Dr. Cui was also the first major deal for him as the head of the family’s crucial business, and it couldn’t be ruined.

What Cooper was thinking, we’ll set aside for now.

Over there, Ma Weiqian had already found Cui Chen, who was surrounded by a crowd of people from academic and corporate sectors, all with significant statuses. These people weren’t particularly interested in Caroline, but the news of her arrival still paused their enthusiastic interaction with Cui Chen.

No matter what, this was a high-level banquet, and it was necessary to meet a celebrity who had just arrived.

As the saying goes, leave some room for a future encounter.

Thus, those people politely excused themselves to greet Caroline.

This made the surroundings of Cui Chen temporarily less crowded, giving Ma Weiqian the chance to approach.

"Dr. Cui Chen, we meet again." Ma Weiqian bowed, grinned, and spoke with overflowing warmth to Cui Chen.

His expression and attitude were exceptionally respectful.

"Mr. Ma. You again?" Seeing him, Cui Chen couldn’t help but frown.

This person had been pestering him ever since Huaxia, like a haunting specter.

Cui Xuexue also noticed Ma Weiqian, and immediately her face sank, mumbling, "So annoying..."

Ma Weiqian pretended not to notice the attitude of the Cui siblings and remained enthusiastically persistent, "Dr. Cui Chen, Miss Cui Xuexue, I’ve come this time with great sincerity and the most favorable conditions, guaranteed to be more satisfying than any other company’s offer, please hear me out."

As he spoke, Ma Weiqian noticed the eyes of Cui Chen and Cui Xuexue light up, thinking that his words were having an effect, only to find that the siblings were looking past him, at someone behind him.

"Long time no see, Mr. Cui Chen, Miss Cui Xuexue." A warm voice said.

"Didn’t expect to see you here!" Cui Chen said, smiling with delight and stepped past Ma Weiqian.

Cui Xuexue, also full of smiles, walked over, almost like a changed person.

Ma Weiqian didn’t even need to look to know who it was behind him—

Bai Xiaosheng!

Nonetheless, Ma Weiqian’s expression darkened slightly as he turned around to look.

Bai Xiaosheng and Cui Chen’s siblings reunited, both sides were very happy.

Cui Chen even shook hands with Bai Xiaosheng, beaming with joy.

This scene was naturally noticed by everyone around.

They were all astonished.

Earlier, Dr. Cui Chen had been quite reserved, restrained, and somewhat unsmiling.

How come now, it was as if he had become a different person?

"Who are those people, to make Dr. Cui so enthusiastic?"

"Are they friends? They all seem unfamiliar, not like people in the industry."

"Huaxia faces, could they be Dr. Cui Chen’s relatives?"

"We definitely need to get to know them later!"

Bai Xiaosheng and his group instantly etched into people’s minds.

Seeing this, Ma Weiqian’s face turned even more unpleasant.

Again with this Bai family name!

Relying on a few instances of aid to the Cui siblings in South America, he always managed to snatch deals!

Enough is enough!

Ma Weiqian resolutely approached Cui Chen’s side, glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with full hostility, and smilingly interjected, "Dr. Cui, you might not know yet, but the company your friend intends to broker for you is really something out of the ordinary!"

Cui Chen frowned and gave Ma Weiqian, who suddenly interrupted, a look, wishing he could politely ask him to "go far away."

But before he could say anything, Ma Weiqian hurriedly said, "This person is speaking on behalf of that Mr. Cooper over there! It’s not a chance encounter on your journey, but with a hidden agenda! Naturally, it’s for your research achievements! Mr. Cooper’s company—Kele KE Pharmaceutical Group, I’m sure you’ve heard of them. They’ve set ’records’ with overpriced drugs in the past few years, and there were problematic medicines just last year! Would you feel comfortable entrusting your results to them, for the risk is the loss of reputation, failing the patients!"

Ma Weiqian, ignoring all else, openly attacked Cooper’s side.

In short, he couldn’t let Bai Xiaosheng succeed!

Ma Weiqian’s words left Cui Chen shocked and surprised.

Thinking his words had an impact, Ma Weiqian spared no effort in exposing Cooper’s dark past.

Cui Xuexue gave a peculiar look at both Ma Weiqian and Bai Xiaosheng.

What on earth was this? The company Bai Xiaosheng recommended to them was his personally owned Feisheng Biotechnology Pharmaceuticals, known for its good reputation, what did it have to do with Cooper’s pharmaceutical enterprise?

When did Bai Xiaosheng ever act as a spokesman for them?

Bai Xiaosheng shrugged and smiled at the Cui siblings.

Just treat it as Ma Weiqian being crazy.

The Cui siblings immediately understood that there might be some misunderstanding here.

"Stop!"

While Ma Weiqian was diligently exposing someone’s dirty laundry, an angry shout suddenly came from behind him.

Ma Weiqian instinctively turned his head and was scared into a jump.

Unknowingly, Cooper was standing behind him, his face extremely gloomy.

"What kind of a creature are you, daring to set up my family’s enterprise right in front of Dr. Cui! You, presumptuous!"

Cooper’s anger surged.

FUCK!

One does not expose someone else’s shortcomings so blatantly in front of others!

This minion of Caroline was simply bullying intolerably!

If it was indeed instructed by that woman...

Cooper gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, apparently unable to tolerate it any further today.
