American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan picked up the check with an amused expression and tossed it aside.

"Being able to control a company can be considered a social elite. Please don't say such childish things, okay? It's simply laughable."

Xia Lin frowned slightly: "You think it's too little? The company's current assets, even if auctioned by the court, wouldn't exceed 30 million. Although I don't know how much money you spent to take over, it definitely wouldn't exceed 50 million. You could profit 20% with a simple transfer. Why wouldn't you want to?"

Qi Shan shook his head: "Have you found out who acquired this company?"

"An unknown person?" Xia Lin sneered slightly: "All your identity information is fake. Although it's done convincingly and you possess basic legal rights, you're just someone with a bit of money. But this is Gotham, and money doesn't mean anything!"

"I'm not interested in wasting words with you!" Qi Shan was too lazy to continue talking to her. Judging from her attitude, the huge losses the company had suffered in recent years were all due to her and another person colluding to swallow the entire company.

It was a very bold move, and if successful, the profits would be substantial.

Perhaps they were about to close the net recently, but Qi Shan unexpectedly intervened, using the Penguin's influence to directly snatch the company away.

Seeing the duck about to reach their mouths fly away, they hurriedly came to test the waters with a tentative negotiation.

Xia Lin definitely represents the 'reason' aspect. If she can't be dealt with here, then the other CEO or the forces behind her will have to resort to force.

Obviously, it's the same old gangster intimidation tactic. If used on ordinary businessmen, the effect would be immediate. Unfortunately, they encountered Qi Shan.

Looking at Xia Lin's almost knitted eyebrows and the cold light emanating from her pale green eyes.

Qi Shan said calmly: "I'll give you two choices. First, disappear from my sight immediately. Go to work normally tomorrow and put in your best effort to create wealth for the new boss.

When I'm satisfied with you, I'll also give you what you consider satisfactory compensation. Believe me, this is definitely your best choice.

Second, I'll give you three hours to completely organize all the company's data and hand it over properly. You and all your subordinates immediately disappear and never appear before me again."

Xia Lin was uncertain and suspicious: "Who exactly are you?"

Qi Shan smiled disdainfully, "You still haven't realized who acquired your company, have you?"

At this moment, a man rushed in disheveled, his hair somewhat messy, his neat suit wrinkled all over, obviously in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Xia Lin, he immediately ran over: "Xia Lin. We need to leave quickly, something's not right."

"What's not right?"

"When I checked the information at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce this afternoon, I discovered traces of the Cobblepot family's involvement." The man's expression was slightly flustered. He said excitedly: "Our plan has a flaw. The Penguin has intervened."

"The Penguin?" Xia Lin widened her eyes and looked at Qi Shan in disbelief: "You're actually a member of the Cobblepot family?"

Qi Shan ignored her and instead sized up the man. He said: "Mr. Darren?"

"Yes, yes, it's me." The man quickly replied.

Qi Shan looked at Xia Lin: "So, what is your choice?"

Xia Lin bit her lip, suddenly stood up, turned around, and left.

She is a shrewd person and wouldn't be bluffed by a few words. But for the sake of caution, she will definitely re-investigate Qi Shan's identity.

"Consider my suggestion, Miss Keene."

Qi Shan cut a piece of lamb chop and gently put it in his mouth to chew, indifferently saying: "Before coming, I specifically asked someone to look at the financial statements of the past few years. Although they have been in a state of continuous losses, most of them were consumed in the laboratory and advertising department, and very little was actually used for management.

I also briefly understood the signed documents at several important meetings. I very much agree with your policy of widespread expansion, and I am also quite satisfied with your control and management abilities.

If it's just for money, I guarantee that staying with the company is a wise choice!"

Qi Shan looked up and smiled: "Within three months, Dream will be completely reborn."

Xia Lin hesitated for a moment.

Darren shook his head vigorously beside her. He didn't believe Qi Shan's words. Even if this person isn't from the Cobblepot family, he must be related.

There's no need to take such a big risk for a little money.

Xia Lin had originally thought so too, but an inadvertent eye contact made her heart tremble and inexplicably fall into hesitation.

Darren almost popped his eyes out. He had never seen Xia Lin show such an expression in all the years they had known each other.

He wanted to open his mouth to remind her, but he was also somewhat afraid of Qi Shan.

After a long while, Xia Lin unexpectedly said: "After all, it's my hard work of several years, I can't just give it away. Fine, I'll see what you're up to!"

Qi Shan smiled, revealing two rows of teeth, and said: "Then, welcome to join!"

Xia Lin hesitated for a moment, seeming somewhat unwilling, but still sat down, nodded slightly, and softly called him boss.

Darren's eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost, looking at Xia Lin for a while and then at Qi Shan.

However, it was obvious that Xia Lin was in a dominant position between the two. Since his partner had already agreed, he could only helplessly agree.

Investing such a huge amount of energy and spending several years, it would be a huge loss if there were no gains.

He didn't expect black magic to be used like this.

Qi Shan was also a little surprised.

On the surface, Xia Lin's change didn't seem too abrupt. After all, people are controlled by emotions, and it's not surprising what they might do when their temper flares up.

In reality, it's very difficult to persuade the person in control of a large company to change their mind.

Moreover, Xia Lin was initially aiming to make a quick buck. Seeing that her plan had been unexpectedly disrupted, she should quickly transfer the company's assets at this time to reduce losses.

Agreeing to Qi Shan's conditions makes no sense at all.

But black magic is just so unreasonable.

Moreover, the Great Demon King Piccolo used magic, and the effect was simply outstanding.

On the surface, she was completely unaffected, but in reality, with just a few words, she changed her mind.

The cooperation of the two senior executives made Qi Shan's actions to integrate the company much smoother. It took about a week to complete the transition period.

The small cosmetics company, with total assets not exceeding two hundred million, is just a small and transparent entity in Gotham City, and no one pays attention to it.

While the news media was busy tracking the bank robbery case, working frantically but achieving nothing, Dream Company quietly launched a new facial mask.

Dream's directly-affiliated beauty institutions were spreading their influence silently under these unnoticed circumstances.
