"You and Lin Fan haven't worked together for long, but you've managed to coordinate to take down Borun Pharmaceuticals. It seems you get along well."
Zhou Weiguo spun the teacup in his hand. Su Yurou couldn't tell what he was thinking from his gaze.
"Lin Fan and I are mutually beneficial; we are exactly what the other needs."
Su Yurou's heart pounded, terrified that he would see through her true relationship with Lin Fan.
"I see. Then you can be considered fated."
Zhou Weiguo took a sip of tea. "By the way, why has he been gone so long? Do you know who he's trying to contact?"
"No."
Su Yurou shook her head.
Although she knew Lin Fan quite well, he would occasionally do astonishing things, making her feel as though she had never truly understood him.
"To be honest, cough, cough."
Zhou Weiguo looked directly at Su Yurou. "Neither the town nor the county would likely hand over Borun Pharmaceuticals to you."
"Secretary Zhou."
Su Yurou suddenly felt weak, almost collapsing onto the sofa.
"You and Lin Fan have neither the experience in managing large enterprises nor sufficient strength. Don't even mention that he ran a clinic."
Zhou Weiguo chuckled. "You know yourself that a clinic and a pharmaceutical factory are two different things. Furthermore, neither of you has a high level of education. How can you guarantee the successful management of Borun Pharmaceuticals?"
"I... I can sign a military order. If I fail to manage Borun Pharmaceuticals well, you can take it back at any time."
Su Yurou said through gritted teeth.
"A military order?"
Zhou Weiguo chuckled and shook his head.
"I'll agree to any conditions you set. I can definitely do better than others!"
Su Yurou said indignantly, "I built a beauty salon from scratch and made it flourish. Doesn't that prove my capability?"
"You mentioned it was a beauty salon, with total assets of around ten million yuan."
Zhou Weiguo's face showed displeasure. "I only believe in what is evident."
He thought to himself: although Minister Tian hadn't explicitly stated it, his intention was clear. Lin Fan absolutely could not rely on Tian Mengyao's connections to act arrogantly.
"Why?"
"There's no why."
Zhou Weiguo's tone was crisp, shattering Su Yurou's last shred of hope.
"I understand."
Su Yurou slowly stood up, preparing to leave.
"Wait a moment, don't rush,"
Zhou Weiguo called out to Su Yurou, then looked at the laptop on his lap.
"Hiss~"
The screen displayed Zhong Chen's information.
Zhong Chen owned an asset management company.
Houses!
So many houses!
Countless houses!
Zhou Weiguo moved the mouse, scrolling for a long time without reaching the end.
He estimated there were about a hundred units!
And judging by the addresses, they were almost all in first or second-tier cities.
"Are feng shui masters this wealthy?"
Zhou Weiguo was quite surprised.
Ding!
The elevator reached the third floor, and Lin Fan returned in a hurry.
Yuan Yixiu and Bai Lu were getting impatient and about to leave when they ran into Lin Fan.
"Please make way."
Lin Fan reminded them.
Bai Lu snorted, "Pretty boy, you're still not giving up? What are you holding?"
"What's it to you?"
Lin Fan chuckled.
Yuan Yixiu adjusted his glasses. "Young man, I am determined to acquire Borun Pharmaceuticals. I advise you to stop wasting your efforts."
Bai Lu said haughtily, "My husband is worth five hundred million yuan. Do you know how much that is? You country bumpkin, stop dreaming!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Get out of the way. Today, I'm determined to get Borun Pharmaceuticals!"
"Heh heh, husband, did you hear that?"
Bai Lu pointed at Lin Fan and burst into laughter.
Yuan Yixiu shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. "Anyone can talk big. Is temporary bravado useful? This society is about strength!"
"I can't be bothered with your nonsense."
Lin Fan barged through, squeezing between the two of them.
"Husband!"
Bai Jing supported Yuan Yixiu and angrily shouted at Lin Fan, "Stop right there! Don't run!"
"Forget it."
Yuan Yixiu took out his phone. "Let's go first. When they come out, I'll teach him a profound lesson."
"Husband, we can't let him get away with this. And that woman, Su Yurou."
Bai Lu gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Creak~
Lin Fan pushed open the door.
"You're back."
Zhou Weiguo looked up, as if nothing had happened.
Su Yurou looked nervously at the thick stack of documents in Lin Fan's hand.
"Uncle Zhou."
Seeing Su Yurou standing still, Lin Fan whispered, "Go back and sit down."
"I have a friend who provided me with a list of potential companies. Please take a look."
"A list?"
Zhou Weiguo was a bit bewildered.
"Just... you'll know when you look."
Lin Fan didn't know how to explain and placed the documents directly on the table.
Zhou Weiguo picked up the documents and looked down.
"Zhengda Pharmaceuticals?"
Subconsciously, Zhou Weiguo felt the name was familiar.
The Xie family was well-known in Siam and also recognized by many in China.
Looking further down, he indeed saw Siam.
Zhou Weiguo was startled and looked up at Lin Fan, asking, "What is your relationship with the Xie family?"
How could the Xie family, which controlled hundreds of billions of wealth and could stir up national affairs, be connected to a mountain boy?
"The Xie family?"
Lin Fan blinked.
He had no idea about any Xie family.
The documents were given to him by Li Yurou; he didn't know the specifics.
"You don't know?"
"No."
Lin Fan shook his head.
Zhou Weiguo frowned and looked at the documents in his hand again.
Without a doubt, this was a very good enterprise.
If he could bring Zhengda Group in as an investor, it would be a great achievement!
"Uncle Zhou, please see which one is suitable. I'm not too sure myself."
Lin Fan saw that Zhou Weiguo was not moving for a long time and thought he was dissatisfied, so he quickly said.
"ME Biotechnology."
Zhou Weiguo found this name familiar too.
"Xiao Wang, get me information on the ME Group."
"Okay."
Wang Qing nodded, his ten fingers flying across the keyboard.
A minute later, Wang Qing turned the computer screen towards Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo looked closely and saw a news headline: "Congratulations to ME Group for its market value exceeding one trillion yuan!"
Seeing this number, Zhou Weiguo's first reaction was that he had misread it.
Zhou Weiguo leaned forward and carefully read the text. It was indeed one trillion yuan!
"So it's the Philippines... richest family, the Shi family!"
"Lin Fan, what is your relationship with the Shi family?"
Zhou Weiguo looked at Lin Fan with confusion.
"What Shi family?"
Lin Fan didn't recognize them either.
"You still don't know?"
Zhou Weiguo was somewhat disbelieving. If you don't know them, why would they help you?
"Uncle Zhou, I really don't know. This list was given to me by a friend."
Lin Fan felt like crying and laughing. What Xie family, what Shi family? Who knew what relationships the Li Yunsheng siblings had with them.
"Your friend is truly extraordinary!"
