Chapter 1448 Jacob Intervened


    Sam didn''t answer. Instead, he asked one of the men in ck behind him to bring two boxes. "It


    doesn''t matter who we are. What matters is if you''re familiar with these," he said as the boxes were


    ced and opened in front of the head of the supplier.


    The head of the supplier opened his eyes wide in a mixture of greed and surprise when he saw that the


    boxes were filled to the brim with cash. It was much more money than what Darren had offered him. He


    quickly pushed away the beautiful women beside him, his eyes fixed on the boxes of cash.


    "Let''s have a talk, shall we? This way, please," Sam said. The head of the supplier, who had been


    acting in a threatening manner until now, suddenly smiled and nodded politely.


    After all, no one in the world disliked money. . . . . . .


    The next day, Darren asked Han to take the contract he had prepared to the head of the supplier. To


    his shock, Han came back with the news that the supplier was no longer willing to enter into the


    cooperation contract with the KING Group.


    "What? That old man said he wouldn''t cooperate with us?" Darren asked, standing up abruptly in


    disbelief. "What did he say?" he added.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Han hesitated for a moment before telling Darren the truth. "He said that he got a better deal."


    Darren was taken aback. This reason was too far-fetched and made no sense. Just the night before,


    the head of the supplier had been ted about his offer. Moreover, Darren had made sure to keep him


    happy by providing him with beautiful women forpany. By right, the cooperation should have gone


    off without a hitch. But now, all of a sudden, that ungrateful man was refusing to cooperate with them!


    There was no doubt about it —someone must have intervened.


    "Han, keep an eye on that old man and see who he meets."


    "Yes, sir."


    As expected, Han saw the old man going to a restaurant right after leaving hispany.


    The head of the supplier had specially invited Jacob to dinner to express his gratitude. Jacob


    personally had no interest in meeting him, but he had shown up anyway because he knew that there


    was someone else who would definitely want to see him today. . . When Han saw that it was Jacob


    who was having dinner with the head of the supplier, he immediately reported the news to Darren.


    Darren hadn''t expected Jacob to be the one who had intervened with his business.


    After all, it was because of Jacob that he had had to transform hispany in the first ce. And even


    after that, it had been very difficult for the KING Group to receive a big order and find a way to fulfill it.


    But now, because of Jacob''s intervention, the KING Group was once again left without a supplier who


    could provide high-quality raw materials in time for them to fulfill their order.


    Unable to control his anger, Darren got into his car and drove to the restaurant, pressing hard on the


    elerator.


    In the restaurant, Jacob and the head of the supplier were chatting and dining in a private room.


    Just before entering the room, Jacob had noticed someone skulking around the door of their room. If


    his memory served him right, that man was Darren''s subordinate. So now, he knew that all he had to


    do was wait.


    Seeing the head of the supplier toasting him once again, he smiled patiently.


    Finally, the moment he had been waiting for arrived. The door of the private room was pushed open


    with a bang, much to the shock of the old man. Jacob, on the other hand, just looked at the door with a


    calm expression on his face.


    When the head of the supplier saw Darren at the door, his hand trembled in fear, causing him to spill


    red wine over his trousers. "I... I have to go and get changed. I''m leaving," he stammered. His first


    thought after being caught in such a tricky situation was to flee. . . . . . .


    Fortunately for him, Darren made no move to stop him. He ran out of the door, leaving Jacob and


    Darren alone in the private room.


    "Jacob Gu!" Darren called gruffly, walking up to Jacob with a fierce look in his eyes. "You''re the one


    who ruined my cooperation, aren''t you?" he asked.


    Jacob just smiled lightly in response without so much as flinching.


    In fact, he was d that Darren had appeared faster than he had expected. He had been getting tired


    of making small talk with that old man. Anyway, in his eyes, what he had done to sabotage Darren''s


    business was nothingpared with the things that Darren had done to him.


    Seeing the calm look on Jacob''s face, Darren became even angrier. He picked up a ss from the


    table and threw it at the ground. The sharp sound of ss shattering rang in both their ears.


    "Darren Xu, you know you''ll have to pay for that broken ss, right? I think you''d better control your


    temper to avoid wasting more money. If you save money, you can find a better cooperation chance


    next time," Jacob mocked.


    Of course, Darren understood the meaning of Jacob''s words. It was obvious that Jacob was mocking


    his financial position. Even the supplier who had agreed to cooperate with him had gone over to


    Jacob''s side for higher profits.


    "It''s all your fault, Jacob. You are such a despicable man!" Darren spat, driven mad with anger. He had


    lost a potential supplier at such a crucial time. It was still possible to find another supplier soon, but if


    Jacob really put his mind to suppressing the KING Group, it would be even more difficult to find a


    suitable supplier.


    "The business world is like a battlefield. Only the capable will have the upper hand. Who can you


    me?" Jacob drawled with acent look in his eyes.


    "Are you saying I am not capable?" Darren was irritated by Jacob''s words.


    "Are you? I heard that the KING Group has transformed recently." Jacob stood up slowly before he


    continued, "It seems that yourpany has shifted its attention to the food industry, right? Originally,


    the KING Group engaged in many different industries. But now, its sole focus is the food industry.


    Shouldn''t the transformation be ascribed to its incapable leader? Or maybe...it''s because you dare not


    compete with me?" Jacob smirked and raised his eyebrow. . . .


    His words had urately revealed Darren''s insecurities and fears. It was undeniable that Darren was


    really afraid ofpeting with Jacob, because right now, the HT Group was too powerful for the KING


    Group to go up against.


    The former was engaged in almost every industry except the food industry. Darren had thought that


    through the transformation, he could avoid head-on confrontation with Jacob. He had nned to


    achieve some sess in the food industry first andter expand hispany again, but he had


    already hit such a big obstacle in the initial stage.


    "What? Am I right?" Jacob''s smile widened as he looked at the frustration on Darren''s face. He


    continued, "People like you are destined to fail in their lives. I advise you to give up as soon as


    possible. If you cross me again, I will never let you go." After saying that, Jacob turned to leave.


    Darren gritted his teeth out of hatred, but he couldn''t do anything to him. All he could do now was


    watch Jacob walk away with his head held high. . . . . . .


    After that unpleasant encounter, Darren went back to hispany in a furious mood.


    He knocked all the things on his desk to the ground, and then broke some more vases for good


    measure. The sound of objects shattering came continuously from his office.


    Han, who had overheard the whole conversation between Jacob and Darren at the restaurant, felt


    very ufortable seeing his boss behave like this. They had put a lot of effort into transforming the


    KING Group, but Jacob had made it all go to waste by intervening in their business once again. . .


    "Mr. Xu, please calm down. There has to be another way," he said cautiously.


    "Do you also think that I am afraid of Jacob?" Darren suddenly questioned Han.


    Han shook his head immediately. "How could that be? That Jacob is too despicable. He just


    managed to take advantage of the loophole by ident this time, but I believe you can defeat him. "


    Darren remained unconvinced upon hearing Han''s assuring words. Although he wanted to avoid


    Jacob, he really was not afraid of him.


    But this time, his efforts for securing a cooperation with a supplier had gone in vain. The matter of


    fulfilling the big order, which was his biggest priority right now, had still not been dealt with.


    At present, thepany''s problems were much more serious than he had imagined. "Han, we have


    to hurry up and find another supplier for cooperation. Only after ourpany grows stronger can we go


    up against the HT Group."


    Darren''s eyes glinted with determination.


    This was their only way out, and once he seeded, Jacob would face a huge threat. . . . . . .
