Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 449: Chapter 477 Situation (Second Update)

On the night Lin Xi fell off the cliff, Bai Bing received the news and nearly collapsed at that moment.

Although she acted indifferent toward Lin Xi on usual days, it was just her nature. In her heart, she already considered Lin Xi as her man.

Especially after having shared a bed with Lin Xi in battle, her heart completely belonged to him.

But don’t misunderstand, it’s not as if after sleeping with him once, the woman belongs to you.

If you think that way, be prepared to end up in jail!

But Lin Xi was different. Bai Bing had already fallen in love with him before they moved in together, so sharing a bed afterward was just inevitable, only lacking a catalyst.

It was around this time that the next day, Chen Bainan launched an attack on the Bai family.

For Bai Bing, this had been anticipated, but she didn’t expect the attack to be so fierce. The things he had in hand far exceeded her imagination.

Combined with the unfortunate news about Lin Xi, her reaction was a bit slow, resulting in the extremely passive situation they were in now.

"They were originally our core technology providers. Once we fall out, it’s sure to cost us." Bai Bing composed herself, looked at Bai Zhenyang, and continued, "Dad had previously handed the business with the supplier to Chen Bainan, and now he’s colluded with the supplier to raise prices."

"This significantly increases our costs."

Master Bai glared fiercely at Bai Zhenyang upon hearing this.

Embarrassed, Bai Zhenyang grinned and muttered helplessly, "I didn’t know he was that kind of person. He talked to me nicely before, saying that a few drinks could get the supplier to lower some prices, which would benefit our cost reduction, so..."

"So you got stupid!" Master Bai couldn’t help but roar.

"..." Bai Zhenyang didn’t dare to retort and sat quietly on the side, looking as if he admitted his mistake.

Yu Cheng was also helpless, knowing her husband clearly wasn’t cut out for business, too easily believing others. However, she still patted Bai Bing’s hand, signaling her to speak less of her father’s shortcomings.

Bai Bing nodded, understanding that some things couldn’t be said outright, while others had to be addressed to prevent her father from making similar mistakes in the future.

"So Xiaobing, what do you propose we do now?" Master Bai looked at his granddaughter.

Bai Bing pondered for a while before continuing, "Grandpa, to get out of this predicament, the only solution is to agree to the supplier’s price increase. If we look for other suppliers, first, we can’t guarantee the quality, and second, we can’t afford the lengthy negotiation period."

"No, no, no, they’ve doubled the price; we’ll suffer huge losses!" Bai Zhenyang shook his head in firm opposition as soon as he heard about agreeing to a price increase.

Master Bai looked at him and asked, "Do you have any other solution?"

"I..." Bai Zhenyang.

"If not, what are you even talking about!" Master Bai was blunt with his son and looked back at Bai Bing, "Chen Bainan surely has more tricks up his sleeve!"

"That’s right; he also has control over core technology. If we agree to the price increase, he might cut off our technical support next," Bai Bing sighed, "If that happens, our company operations won’t last three days."

"Can’t we find another company to collaborate with?" Bai Zhenyang interjected.

Bai Bing nodded, "We can negotiate, and it’s much easier than with the current supplier. After all, our Bai family business has an excellent market reputation, so as long as our brand stands, we won’t have trouble finding companies with the core technology."

"But it will take at least a month to adapt to a new partnership."

"By that time, with our Bai family’s current situation, we won’t be able to hold on. The board will exert pressure, and Chen Bainan will probably seize the opportunity, potentially leading to our industry changing hands."

Master Bai said nothing, pondering for a while before asking, "How much funding is needed to sustain for a month?"

"One and a half billion, and that’s just to maintain the basic operations!" Bai Bing’s face was grim as she continued, "We’ve already reached out to the banks and friends or partners who can lend money, combined with our own funds, we can probably raise five hundred million!"

"Selling all my antique collections should be worth about one and a half billion," Master Bai said, his gaze shifting to Bai Zhenyang.

Bai Zhenyang gritted his teeth, "My savings and the two villas outside should amount to around fifty million."

Yu Cheng and Bai Xingye were about to speak, but Master Bai stopped them, "I know your situation; that amount won’t be of much use!"

At that moment, a servant hurried inside to report that Chen Bainan had barged in with a group of people.

The faces of the Bai family of five changed; was he here to take advantage of their crisis?
