Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 178: The Deal (1)

At the Song Mansion, the same day. 

The Song Mansion seemed busy as the servants ran from here to there and from there to here, carrying some necessities with them. 

Meanwhile, in the hall, Eliana and Ethan were sitting each busy with their own work, Eliana was working with some files whereas Ethan was staring at his laptop screen, typing something after a certain break. 

RING RING

Ethan's phone ranged which made his interrupted his focus, clicking his tongue he picked up the phone, it was his secretary. 

"What is it, Micheal? I told you not to call me today," Ethan said as he lashed at his secretary as soon as he picked up the call. 

Eliana rolled her eyes on seeing Ethan's nagging and gestured him to go out of the room to talk as it was disturbing her. 

Ethan got up from his seat and he proceeded out to talk. 

"What is it, tell me?" Ethan said. 

"Sir, it's about the First hospital of the Wens," Micheal said, as soon as he took this name, Ethan's face became serious. 

"What about it?" he asked. 

"I got the call from the Wen Pharmaceuticals some time ago, they said that they aren't interested in the deal with this anymore," from the other side Micheal.

Listening to this, Ethan was dumbfounded. 

"What?" Ethan questioned, who was not able to believe his ears. 

"What the f**k? Are you kidding me?" Ethan cursed and said the line in English. 

"I don't think I will kid you in this matter, Sir," Micheal said with a smug smile. 

"Ya Ya," Ethan said with an irritated voice. 

After some time of thinking, he said, "Did they tell the reason?" 

"No, they didn't. I tried to ask them, but they didn't answer but kept the call," Micheal answered. 

"Tch, ok leave it, I will talk to them," Ethan said as he disconnected the call, and making his another call he waited for the person to pick up. 

After five minutes of waiting, the beep finally finished, and Ethan said, "Hello,"

"Hello, Mr. Song," said Wen Peng. 

"Sorry to disturb you on a day of the weekend, Mater Wen, but it is an important matter for the Song corporation, and I believe the Wen Pharmaceuticals is obliged to answer us," Ethan said. 

"Sure, Mr. Song. How can I help you?" Wen Peng from the other side said. 

"I got the news from my secretary that the Wen Pharmaceuticals decided to end the deal with us," Ethan said, as he got straight the point instead of beating around the bush.

"Oh, about that. I knew you would call me, but I am very sorry Mr. Song. I am afraid I can't help you in this matter," Wen Peng said with a half apologetic voice. 

"I am sure, Master Wen would have an important reason behind this, and I think I have the right to know that," Ethan said with a confident voice. 

On the other side, Wen Peng sighed and then continued, "Mr, Song is indeed right. Actually, my subordinate had made a mistake in the list of the pursuers for the First hospital, in which you the Song Industries had the first place. We got to know that it was an error and the first pursuers weren't the Song Industries, but the Li Corporations. And as you know, the Wen Pharmacutecails go by the rule of the first serve, and so we decided to keep our promise to the Li Corporations," Wen Peng said. 

"But, Master Wen, it isn't my problem, the Wen Pharmaceuticals had promised the Song Industries the First hospital in exchange for the contract with the Korean International Hospitals. And as far as I know, it is a very big contract we are giving the Wens in exchange for the First Hospital," Ethan said as he tried to convince Wen Peng. 

"I think instead of the contract with the Korean International Hospital, I would prefer the International Medicine organization, that is given to us by the Li Corporations, don't you think Mr. Song?" Wen Peng said. 

The International Medicine Organization was the worldwide organization that contracts the medicine supply worldwide to selected companies, with changing companies every five years. 

Ethan raised his eyebrow at this, it was indeed a lavish offer given to them by Li Corporations but the question was, instead of getting the contract for themselves, why would the Li Corporations give it to the Wen Pharmaceuticals in exchange for the First hospital. 

But then, a name clicked into his mind. 

Li Wei!

It must be Li Wei!

That bas-

Ethan angrily kicked the tree beside, who else it would be? Of course Li Wei. 

It was the perfect opportunity for us, but Li Wei had to butt in. 

"Then I think, nothing can be done, Master Wen. Thank you for your time today," Ethan said as he managed to calm himself down while disconnecting the call. 

With an angry face, Ethan proceeded to the hall where Eliana was sitting. 

Eliana who was busy in her work, saw Ethan coming in with an irritated face. 

Raising an eyebrow she said, "What is wrong?"

"The First hospital, Wen Pharmaceuticals decided to give Li Corporations the first hospitals, as their subordinate made a mistake in the list of the pursuers of the First Hospital, making the Song Isdusteried the first when actually it was the Li Corporations," Ethan said as he told Eliana the whole conversation between him and Wen Peng. 

Eliana was shocked by this, but she soon realized that it was Li Wei's deed. 

"Looks like its time," Eliana mumbled. 

The Inferno, 

A black Maybach stopped in front of the bar of the elites, Inferno. The door of the back seat opened and Li Wei got out, clad in a navy blue suit. Mu Shufen followed him from behind holding a black satchel bag with him.

The manager of the bar greeted him in a polite way and guided him towards the designated presidential suite.

Li Wei sat on the big, black leather couch and patiently waited for the other party to come.

Mu Shufen was quite intrigued by this kind of scene. This was the first time in his entire life that he witnessed the great Mr. Li arriving fifteen minutes earlier in a meeting and patiently waiting for someone. 

Though, it was quite a good scene to watch. 

Mu Shufen shook his head lightly, the dangerous Yama king was right in front of him. Better be conscious!

They both waited for a good span of fifteen minutes, with Li Wei enjoying the taste of wine.

When the clock struck eleven, there was a brief knock on the door and then, it was opened.

Mu Shufen was relieved, finally, the temperature rose to a certain degree.

The door opened and the woman came in. 

Wearing a white, silk blouse and black A-line skirt, donned with black stilettoes, she looked way too charismatic. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail and minimal makeup was applied, giving her a natural look. Her appearance perfectly matched her elegant demeanor. 

A young man followed her behind, clad in a maroon suit.

"Miss Elaina," Li Wei got up and greeted Elaina. A smirk hanging on his noble face.

"Mr. Ethan," seeing Ethan behind her he also greeted him.

Elaina pursed her lips, too scared to make eye contact with him.

But somehow, she managed to look Li Wei into the eye. She greeted, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Wei smiled and extended his hand towards her, obviously for a handshake.

Elaina gazed at his extended hand and gulped hard. This guy!

She reluctantly extended her hand, to which, Li Wei immediately grabbed it.

He squeezed her hand slightly while looking at her meaningfully. 

Elaina pursed her lips, anyway giving him a polite smile. She forcefully retrieved her hand.

Ethan glared a Li Wei heavily, what a hooligan! Hmph!

"Take a seat," Li Wei said.

Everyone took a seat, with Elaina sitting right opposite Li Wei. Li Wei immediately initiated a conversation.

"Can I ask, if what is the reason behind this sudden meeting?" he asked 'naively'.

Both, Ethan and Elaina, harrumphed. Way too 'nave'!

Elaina smiled politely at him.

"Mr. Li, we would like to tell you that we were planning to acquire the First Hospital for a long time. And, we had been discussing it with the Wen Corporation also," she informed.

Li Wei chuckled softly.

"Miss Elaina, I honestly didn't know about it." he said 'innocently'.

Ethan scoffed inwardly. Talk about knowing, he had already planned everything! This guy was very cunning.

Elaina gazed at Li Wei helplessly, as though asking him through eyes, 'What the hell do you want, dude?'

"Ahem, Mr. Li, I hope you can change your decision and let us take over the First Hospital." she requested softly.

Li Wei's ears buzzed, hearing her soft, gentle voice. He immediately shook his head deniably. Focus!

He smiled at her, "Hehe, Miss Elaina, I already bought over the First Hospital. After all, it is a world of 'First come, first serve'," he denied her offer politely.

"But I want to ask you something, why do you insist on taking over First Hospital so much?" he probed seriously.
