Chapter 1686: Chapter 1382: We’ll See About That!

Bai Xiaosheng flatly rejected Taylor and Tony on behalf of Lai Yin, which immediately turned a negotiable situation into a deadlocked stalemate.

Everyone was taken aback and looked at him.

Even Lai Yin didn’t expect Bai Xiaosheng to be so decisive and give such an absolute answer!

He was a bit stunned, too.

Lai Yin had thought that Bai Xiaosheng would engage in a verbal battle with the other side, arguing with logic on their behalf.

In Lai Yin’s view, if accepting the other party’s investment were unavoidable, it would be best to have Bai Xiaosheng as a co-investor, at least to exert some restraint on the other party. At the very least, even if Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t participate in the investment in the end, he would help them fight for maximum interests.

From the incident with Uncle Jonas, Lai Yin knew that Bai Xiaosheng was such an upright and passionate person.

And in such negotiations, as Bai Xiaosheng said, he and those around him were not specialized.

Therefore, Lai Yin nodded on the spot, “entrusting” Bai Xiaosheng to speak, but he didn’t expect Bai Xiaosheng to speak in such a manner.

Lai Yin’s team members were also stunned as they looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

What this young man said was indeed satisfying!

But the price paid for this might also be the greatest!

Grace’s eyes widened as she looked at Bai Xiaosheng in astonishment, and then an inexplicable anger flashed in her eyes.

She wasn’t afraid of the talks breaking down.

She believed, however, that even if the talks collapsed, causing everyone’s hard work to go to waste and possibly requiring another two years to start from scratch, such a decision should be made by Lai Yin!

What right did this person have!

Grace recalled downstairs when she asked for help, and Bai Xiaosheng said there was nothing he could do.

This was someone who didn’t even have the courage to attempt to solve the issue, and now he dared to make a life-and-death decision for them. How ridiculous!

Grace glared fiercely at Bai Xiaosheng and even gritted her teeth, muttering angrily, “This guy who acts without authorization, who does he think he is!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were also surprised as they looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Both of them knew Bai Xiaosheng well and understood that Bai Xiaosheng would never act recklessly.

Before coming in, Grace had mentioned that to preserve Lai Yin’s team’s experimental samples, they needed exclusive equipment and laboratories from this side.

Once separated, they could only be preserved for up to twenty-four hours in portable freezing canisters before the samples would be completely destroyed.

They assumed Bai Xiaosheng would never let the worst possible outcome occur.

But now, Bai Xiaosheng was actually pushing for that outcome.

They wondered if Bai Xiaosheng had spoken with Soruns and asked for help?

But that didn’t make sense!

Someone who had acquired huge shares from Haru Medical College in a single night would not be intimidated by Soruns and was determined to succeed in this matter.

Even if Soruns could speak, would the other party back down?

Even if it could be done, Soruns would have to pay a very high price.

Bai Xiaosheng was the least likely to owe a favor or force others against their will.

So the possibility of asking Soruns for help was very small…

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, for the moment, couldn’t figure out what Bai Xiaosheng was thinking.

Taylor, Tony, and the people around them were also shocked as they looked at Bai Xiaosheng, momentarily unable to react.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was frozen.

Then—

“Who the hell do you think you are! You can’t just say whatever you want here without my say-so!” Tony exploded first.

Taylor also frowned, squinting at Bai Xiaosheng, his voice low and hostile, “Sir, watch your words! Also, you are not a party involved, so you have no right to make any decisions!”

With that, Taylor turned to Lai Yin, his tone threatening, “Lai Yin, I’m taking your so-called ‘authorization’ as just a casual remark that’s not serious. But now, you need to speak up and make a stance. Ask this gentleman to shut up or leave! Otherwise, we really can’t continue the negotiations!”

“Make him leave!” Tony shouted after him.

Having learned from earlier how to provoke Lai Yin, Tony held back from adding a “get out” to his words.

Lai Yin paid no attention to Taylor and Tony’s words and looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng looked back at him.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression remained calm and composed, even with a slight smile, but his gaze was very firm.

Everyone looked at Lai Yin.

Lai Yin took a heavy breath.

“This person is the only investor I recognize!” Lai Yin pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, his expression decisive, as he spoke word by word to Taylor, Tony, and his team, “His decision aligns exactly with mine now!”

“This matter is off the table for discussion!”

Actually, from the beginning, Lai Yin was suppressing a surge of anger, even having just had an outburst.

Submitting to capital was something Lai Yin despised, not to mention that the capital side even threatened him, demanding they lower their heads.

For the sake of his team, Lai Yin had endured repeatedly, thinking he could really hold on.

The appearance of Bai Xiaosheng suddenly gave him a push, aiding him in making this decision!

“Collaborating with such investors, who knows what the future holds, better to endure some short-term pain than long-term pain, at worst, we’ll start again from scratch!”

Lai Yin couldn’t help but pound the table, his words hard, also as an explanation to his team.

The members of Lai Yin’s team nodded one by one.

Even Grace had no objections.

Taylor had originally intended to pressure Lai Yin but didn’t expect him to react by “breaking the pot,” showing no interest in negotiations.

Taylor was suddenly startled.

Tony was truly panicking!

“Lai Yin, have you considered the consequences! Once you decide this, your years of work may be destroyed overnight! Also, you’re opposing your alma mater!”
