Chapter 380 Profit-oriented Villain
He had a good plan, but he was unaware that he had been set up.
“And who are you planning to send to talk with them, President?”
The information on this deal said that an interview was required.
It made sense, after all, it was something as important as D3 reagents, and this order was a rare and large one.
Benjamin pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately, but instead he asked, “Any news from Ruby and Levi?”
At the mention of this, Lewis replied with a straight face.
“They are already planning to depart for Z Country today, except there is a strange thing, the mercenaries we sent there were all beaten down in the middle of last night. After that, they left the hotel, the tracker followed them lost the signal, as for the location where the signal was lost, it was also very vague, there was no way to track it, only until this morning, the signal was available again.”
In this regard, Benjamin remained unsurprised.
“It’s a messy situation over here in F Country. There are a lot of private organizations, so maybe it’s just covered when they were passing through.”
Since they were planning to depart for Z Country, it didn’t have much to do with the upper lever of LW Lab.
Previously, he only knew that Ruby was associated with LW Lab, so he could get the D3 reagent and even the development reports of other reagents.
But now it seemed that it should be that she just served there.
With that in mind, he didn’t care too much and spoke, “I’ll go myself.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis was taken aback, “President, how can you go personally?”
Benjamin did not mind it and said, “Do you think LW Lad will sell it to us if I find someone else to go to get it. What they want is sincerity, if they don’t feel at ease, then Lab X will have no change. Lab X begged for cooperation twice before, so we can take this opportunity, don’t they lack funds? I have plenty of funds, they will sell it to me.”
The matter was determined.
Soon, Lewis was in contact with the people at LW Lab on Benjamin’s behalf.
When Jacob got the news, he immediately reported to Ruby.
“Ruby, as you expected, Lab X is really going to send their manager behind the scenes!”
Ruby raised her eyebrows, not half surprised: “When will he arrive?”
“3pm, at the top floor cafe in the J building.”
Ruby looked at the time, there were still two hours to go.
“Where’s the plane? How are the arrangements going?” She asked.
Jacob immediately replied, “It has all been done as you instructed, so you can leave anytime, and people have been arranged around to keep watch, so if there are any accidents, they can all come in handy, and it definitely won’t affect you and Levi’s trip to Z Country.”
Ruby nodded, “Be ready to leave in an hour.”
“Yes!”
Soon, an hour passed and Jacob drove the two of them straight to J Building.
When they arrived, people of Lab X had not yet arrived.
Ruby and Levi sat in a corner with a greenery partition, while Jacob sat in the front by the window, as previously agreed.
Looking from his table, he could not see Ruby and Levi, but the latter two could get a clear view of the table.
At three o’clock, finally, a figure approached.
“Excuse me, is this Mr. Houghton?” The visitor’s tone was still polite, but the way he acted revealed a superior posture.
Jacob raised his eyes and gave him a glance before getting up and shaking his hand, asking politely and courteously, “Yes, may I ask if you are ……?”
The man smiled slightly, his handsome face full of confidence, “I am the manager of Lab X, Benjamin Hayes.”
Not far away, in a place separated by greenery, Ruby and Levi looked at each other without the slightest surprise, as if the appearance of Benjamin was a matter of course.
So it seemed that all their previous analyses were correct and all their suspicions were on point.
“I’ve been friends with Benjamin for so many years, I really didn’t expect that he was actually so deeply hidden.” Ruby could not help but mutter in a small voice, her tone somewhat unpleasant.
Levi learned the truth and was now in a relaxed mood and was in the mood to tease her: “I should say you two are similar.”
Ruby skimmed the corners of her mouth in disbelief.
“Is it the same? My LW lab has never done anything harmful, and the reagents it has developed are all beneficial to the pharmaceutical industry and to people, but Lab X is a company that does nothing. In their eyes, there is only profit, they don’t care whether these things are harmful to people or not, as long as they can make huge profits, they can develop them blindly, they are simply a group of profit-oriented villains!”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She lowered her voice, and her face was wearing rare indignation.
She looked down at those behaviors Lab X had done. It was hard not to be angry when she didn’t expect that her friend was behind the scene.
Looking at her face full of annoyance, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly knitted, Levi could not help but want to laugh.
He raised his hand and cupped her cheek in a warm, soothing voice, “Well, there’s no way you can ask anyone to do anything, just stay true to yourself.”
Ruby pursed the corners of her lips and said nothing more.
Jacob asked for two cups of coffee and pretended to negotiate with Benjamin.
However, the result of the negotiations was that the D3 reagent would not be sold to Lab X. As for the cooperation with Lab X, there was no need to talk about it.
At these words, Benjamin’s face sank slightly and the curve of his mouth tightened, his expression already somewhat displeased.
“Are you kidding me? The terms have been offered and now you’re saying you won’t sell it? Is it because you think the terms I’ve offered aren’t tempting enough?”
With that, he snorted.
“Mr. Houghton, although the prices of the reagents researched by LW Lab are very high, I think the price I offered is the highest. If you don’t believe it, you can negotiate with others to see whether there is a price offered higher than me. Besides, if we cooperate, it will be beneficial. Since you are lack of funds, I can give it to you. You can use it for as long as you want, what’s wrong with that?”
Jacob listened with an expressionless face, laughing coldly.
This man really was scheming, and even more money was worthless in the face of LW Lab’s development reports.
The man talked good words, but in reality, it was still Lab X taking advantage of him.
Benjamin saw his lack of reaction and frowned, subconsciously trying to say harsh words.
But at that moment, a voice came from behind him, “Benjamin, you are really smart.”
