Noah was being pulled aside to cool off.
“Engaging in personal attacks because he couldn’t win in terms of business?” Noah said as he shook in anger.
“Mr. Evans must be running out of options since he can’t do anything about Wonder Pharm.”
“Mr. Park, you have to calm down. His motive is to irritate and anger you. If he succeeds, then wouldn’t the new Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution be as good as his.”
“That’s right. Wonder Pharm is already ahead of Poly Pharmaceutical. All Mr. Park has to do is maintain this, and you will beat him!”
After much persuasion, Noah gradually calmed down and nodded. He also knew Josef was doing this on purpose to irritate and make him lose composure. And then took advantage of the situation.
After he thought it through, he put down his anger and sneered, “As long as Wonder Pharm is around, Poly Pharmaceutical can forget about coming out on top!”
“Mr. Evans, it’s not good for you to make personal attacks. It will make Poly Capital look bad!” Anita said to Joe.
“What’s bad about it? I was speaking the truth.“ Josef replied calmly.
Josef’s response rendered Anita speechless.
Josef said with a smile, “Everyone is supporting him now because he is riding on the status that Park Group gave him. Calling him Stick doesn’t mean anything bad. Others will look at it as friendly banter.”
“Friendly…” Anita replied questionably.
“Wonder Pharm has been too arrogant and has gotten in the way of countless businesses. Do you think the people of Hechland would let him be? I’m afraid, there are some who even want him dead,” Josef said.
Anita gave it some thought and felt that what Josef said was right.
When it was almost time, Adrian, the chairman of Northern Biotech, made his appearance.
Adrian was about fifty years old, and unlike the usual image people had of big bosses, he was still in good shape as he appeared in a suit.
“As soon as he entered, the atmosphere became lively, as everyone began complimenting him.”
The pharmaceutical companies enthusiastically moved in closer, all ready to impress him.
“He is Adrian, the chairman of Northern Biotech. Mr. Evans, do you want to go and greet him?” Anita asked.
“That would be good. After all, we’ll be their new partner.” Josef replied.
Natasha walked over from the side and said calmly, “I advise you not to waste your time. He won’t entertain you.”
Josef said with a smile, “The bet has only just begun, and you’re already afraid of losing?”
Natasha smiled and said, “I’m afraid you’ll be too embarrassed later!”
Josef ignored her as Anita led him to Adrian.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Adrian!” Josef took the initiative to greet him.
Adrian barely looked at him and ignored his handshake. This caused everyone to start making assumptions.
Josef had taken the initiative to greet Adrian. But was ignored!
This was huge news!
Josef didn’t take it personally, took a step forward, and said, “Mr. Adrian, I’m Josef from Poly Pharmaceutical in Neva Province, and I was hoping to work with you.”
Adrian froze for a moment and said, “I’ve never heard of Poly Pharmaceutical. Who the hell do you think you are to come up and speak with me?”
