Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1548: What Is Your Plan?
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Day six has arrived.
Eleven to twelve days have now passed since Ye Xuan’s family departed. Today marks the completion of their planned contact with all national distributors.
Remarkably, out of more than twenty distributors, only one upheld their principles and ethical standards, proceeding to sign long-term strategic cooperation agreements with Eastern Group, even under duress from the Holy Mansion.
This solitary agreement represents the sole success Eastern Group has achieved thus far.
Compounding the issue, Liu Ying and Chi Lian Luo Qing encountered even more dire circumstances abroad. Not a single one of the nearly forty distributors honored their commitments, behaving as though any past favors from Purgatory were utterly forgotten, turning hostile and unrecognizable.
It’s no exaggeration to state that Eastern Group’s strategic blueprint has completely disintegrated, at least from the outward appearance of things.
At this critical juncture.
Ye Xuan and his family of three are currently en route back to Yan Country via airplane.
Lin Tong, drained both mentally and physically, gazed out at the stunning scenery passing by the window, her thoughts distant for a significant period before she finally exhaled with a heavy heart.
Ye Xuan let out a soft chuckle and inquired, "Honey, whatever is troubling you? Didn’t I assure you? Our strategic plan has already met with success."
"I was merely contemplating why so many individuals in this world are consumed by greed, willing to betray their benefactors with such a blatant lack of conscience solely to maximize their personal gains."
Lin Tong offered a rueful smile, asking, "Don’t their consciences ache when they act in such a manner?"
"Conscience is a trait exclusive to humans," Ye Xuan responded with an easy, indifferent smile.
Lin Tong paused for a moment, then resolved to cease pondering these seemingly inconsequential matters. She turned her captivating eyes towards Ye Xuan, inquiring, "Could you perhaps reveal your true plan now?"
"You shall discover it soon enough," Ye Xuan glanced at his watch, a smile playing on his lips. "Prepare yourself; we are about to disembark."
"Disembark?" Lin Tong’s expression shifted to one of astonishment. "We are still within the Southern Federation, aren't we? It requires at least sixteen hours of travel to reach Yan Country..."
Possessing a keen intellect, Lin Tong abruptly halted her sentence mid-thought. Her gaze shifted to Ye Xuan, filled with surprise as she surmised, "Are we descending in Barcelona?"
"Precisely," Ye Xuan confirmed with a nod and a smile. "The flight we are on concludes its journey in the East Sea of Yan Country, but it necessitates a stop for rest in Barcelona. Within Eastern Group's strategic maneuverings, Barcelona serves as an absolutely vital point."
Lin Tong’s eyebrows arched slightly. "Barcelona is renowned globally for its construction industry; its prominence is unparalleled. Furthermore, Mr. Carter, the individual who commands this sector, is based in Barcelona.
Should Eastern Group manage to forge a partnership with Mr. Carter, even if all our projected distribution channels vanish, Mr. Carter possesses an undeniable capacity to absorb all of our manufactured construction materials!"
"Indeed," Ye Xuan chuckled softly. "An interesting coincidence, Carter and I share a certain connection. Given his standing and influence, he might not harbor fear towards the Holy Mansion, but at the very least, his assistance would ensure the Holy Mansion would hesitate to take direct action against him."
Lin Tong’s face lit up with immense joy, "We've achieved success?"
Happiness has a way of arriving unannounced.
Lin Tong had never truly fathomed that from the very inception, Ye Xuan’s true hopes were never placed upon those seemingly loyal associates. Mr. Carter in Barcelona was, in reality, the sole objective of this entire endeavor!
What profound implications does this hold?
Upon securing a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Barcelona, Eastern Group’s construction materials business is poised for global preeminence for at least the next two decades!
Why is this the case?
The Carter Family's involvement spans nearly every major global construction project. The name 'Carter' is synonymous with the world's most substantial and dependable channel for construction materials.
Initially, Lin Tong harbored concerns that even if all the primary distribution channels were successfully established as planned, the sheer scale of Eastern Group's construction material production might lead to an oversupply issue.
However, the current situation suggests the opposite: oversupply? It is far more probable that demand will outstrip supply!
This unexpected turn of events feels akin to a divine blessing, as if preordained.
Following a brief surge of elation, Lin Tong's gaze turned towards Ye Xuan, her eyes reflecting a complex mixture of emotions—a brilliant shine coupled with an overwhelming urge to embrace him and bestow countless kisses, yet simultaneously, a desire to reprimand him.
She had been involved throughout the entire process, only to now discover such a monumental underlying arrangement!
With Carter’s involvement, Ye Xuan, how many more concealed secrets do you harbor?
Sensing Lin Tong's scrutinizing gaze, Ye Xuan shifted uncomfortably. "Honey, please don't look at me like that. Despite any perceived capabilities, I remain a mere mortal who once made a clumsy mistake in the restroom."
Upon hearing his words, Lin Tong’s delicate face began to flush.
This man, still holding a grudge over the expression she displayed a few days prior, is he truly that vindictive?
In truth, over these past few days, Lin Tong had come to understand that even if Ye Xuan were the fabled Black Emperor, he was, at the end of the day, still human. Making such strategic decisions was hardly surprising.
If one were to critically assess the situation, the true instigator of all this was none other than Lin Tong herself!
Lin Tong, with a slight pouting of her lips, voiced her frustration, "Since our objective was Carter from the very beginning, why did we expend so much effort on diversions and seemingly pointless tasks?"
"Didn't I just explain? While the Carter Family possesses considerable influence, aiding us under pressure from the Holy Mansion comes with inherent reservations," Ye Xuan responded with a gentle smile.
"Had we concentrated solely on Carter from the outset, Wang Qianjun would undoubtedly have become suspicious. This would then prompt the Holy Mansion to exert pressure, making it exceedingly difficult for Carter to assist us, despite his willingness."
Lin Tong fell silent upon hearing his explanation, a sudden understanding dawning upon her.
She recognized that families of such high caliber, like the Carters, operated with extreme caution and meticulous planning. Even if they held no fear of the Holy Mansion, a degree of legitimate apprehension would naturally exist.
Ye Xuan's insistence that Lin Tong and Liu Ying adhere strictly to the original plan all along served as a masterful diversionary tactic.
At this very moment, Wang Qianjun was likely reveling in a premature sense of victory, wasn't he?
He undoubtedly believed that the Eastern Group's teams had been soundly defeated and had returned to Yan Country. He remained oblivious to the fact that Ye Xuan had merely purchased transit tickets to Yan Country, with the true destination being a layover in Barcelona.
This cunning strategy left Wang Qianjun with absolutely no opportunity to retaliate!
Even for someone as globally experienced as Lin Tong, comprehending the intricacies of this plan caused her heart to surge with an almost overwhelming excitement.
It was brilliantly executed!
"We've accomplished it!" Lin Tong exclaimed, her fists clenched as she struggled to contain her immense joy. "Darling, we've triumphed once more!"
Ye Xuan offered a quiet smile in response.
In truth, from the very instant Tyron betrayed him, Ye Xuan had already foreseen the outcome.
With victory virtually assured, a strange lack of happiness permeated Ye Xuan's thoughts.
This was because he was acutely aware of someone he deeply longed to see, someone who had departed for this very city without a word. He found himself wondering if she was truly content in her current life.
He remained uncertain whether this current journey would culminate in their reunion.
If they were to meet again, he pondered, what would that moment be like...
"Distinguished passengers, this aircraft is now commencing its descent into Barcelona. We will be making a two-hour stopover. Please prepare yourselves and ensure you do not leave any personal belongings behind," a gentle voice announced through the cabin's public address system, delivered by a flight attendant.
Ye Xuan's gaze softened, his emotions a complex and indescribable mixture.
