Song Fan raised an eyebrow. No wonder Meng Yu was so enthusiastic today; it seemed that money was a secondary concern.

Charlie frowned as he looked at Meng Xia. In his eyes, she was a complete fool—brainless and incapable. Letting her manage this partnership was a waste of time and money. Moreover, he had other plans for promoting the jewelry brand.

Meng Yu continued listing her conditions, “During the pregnancy, she will need supplements. You wouldn’t want Jason’s only child to have any issues, right? At least a million dollars a month for nutritional expenses. Xiao Xia doesn’t have much in savings. After launching the jewelry brand, you’ll need to buy her a store at the very least.”

Even Song Kai, who didn’t fully understand the situation, thought this was too much. The total costs would exceed a billion if all these demands were met.

Meng Yu, however, appeared nonchalant, even feeling these demands were minimal. “We are also saddened by Jason’s passing, but his child is invaluable. This isn’t too much to ask, right? Besides, with Brown Group managing the jewelry brand, you’ll be more at ease, correct?”

After saying this, Meng Yu looked at Song Yi, who immediately understood. “Xiao Xia is also a child of the Song Family. She will be fully dedicated.”

“Money and the store are doable. The partnership, however, is impossible,” Charlie flatly rejected, showing no leniency.

“How do you expect an uneducated person to manage an international jewelry brand? Or are all Song Family members idiots who got lucky with their current wealth? Brown Group employs professionals for each role. Unless it’s Song Fan, I won’t oversee this project. At worst, we’ll pay the penalty for breaching the contract.”

Although Charlie’s words were harsh, Song Yi knew he was right.

Meng Yu wanted to argue, but Song Yi didn’t want the negotiations to collapse. He quickly explained, “We’re only asking Xiao Xia to assist Song Fan as a deputy manager. Song Fan will still have the final authority. Xiao Xia will be restless at home during her pregnancy, so this gives her something to do.”

Reluctant as she was, Meng Yu had no choice but to agree. “Yes, it’s for her mental well-being. Otherwise, she’d feel useless at home, which isn’t good for the baby.”

Looking at the others, Charlie then glanced at the expressionless Song Fan before agreeing.

He didn’t want to keep entangling with these people. Once the child was born, the truth would be revealed. Even if they had to pay, Brown Group could afford it.

Song Yi, seeing the situation, said, “Song Fan, please see Mr. Brown out. You’ll be collaborating in the future.”

Song Fan then got up and walked out with Charlie.

Charlie, however, did not get into his car immediately. Instead, he brought up Jason’s death. “On our way back to B Country, we were attacked at sea. Jason was shot by a rival. I barely escaped with my life.”

Song Fan hadn’t expected this outcome. Seeing her frown, Charlie explained, “You didn’t think I killed him, did you? I was about to obtain the new drug formula. Why would I kill him? Now that Jason is gone and others are incompetent, everything is back to square one. I have to clean up his mess.”

“Brown Group should have an experimental team. Didn’t any of Jason’s subordinates know the formula? Or did you not hire anyone to research it?” Song Fan asked tentatively, thinking it was likely Brown Group had kidnapped Wu Yong.

But Charlie looked frustrated. “Do you think anti-tumor drugs are easy to research? Jason’s death was absolute; no one knew his formula. I hired several professional pharmacists, but they couldn’t understand his experimental data.”

He looked at Song Fan with hope, “Song Fan, I hope we can put aside our past conflicts and collaborate again. What do you think?”

“Ha?” Song Fan laughed at his words. “You think I would continue to work with someone who kidnapped me and nearly killed me?”

Charlie didn’t find this surprising and nodded seriously. “Of course, why not?”

“Jason always said you were the best. He might not even surpass you. You must be a good businesswoman too. Business is all about profit.”

In his view, nothing was more important than profit. With profit as the priority, past grudges could be forgotten.

Song Fan remained silent, making Charlie anxious. The new drug research was urgent, and he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“To show my sincerity, I will send you a Red Snow Flower, regardless of whether you want to cooperate with me or not. How about that?”
