What is Zheng Yue up to?
She wants to invest in Borun Pharmaceutical, acquire half the shares, and independently develop anti-cancer drugs, along with almost all other types of drugs.
The total investment amounts to a staggering thirty billion yuan!
Zhou Weiguo was stunned on the spot.
He even pinched himself hard to confirm he wasn't dreaming.
"Miss Zheng, please wait a moment. I need to communicate with Mengyao."
Zhou Weiguo said casually, "I believe Mengyao will absolutely not refuse." He then took out his phone and dialed Tian Mengyao.
Su Yurou's expression was complicated. She thought, "Doesn't he know that Lin Fan is the one who truly calls the shots?"
As expected.
Tian Mengyao was meeting with agricultural experts. She briefly spoke to Zhou Weiguo and then deferred the decision-making power to Lin Fan.
"Mengyao has agreed in principle," Zhou Weiguo exhaled and nodded, as if Tian Mengyao had already given her consent.
Su Yurou was incredibly surprised.
This Zheng Yue was clearly not here with good intentions. Her shy expression earlier looked very peculiar; there was a high probability she was after Lin Fan.
"Manager Su, please quickly contact Xiao Fan. As long as he agrees, this matter can be settled today." Zhou Weiguo was extremely anxious, afraid that his superiors would snatch his credit.
"Alright." Su Yurou hesitantly pulled out her phone. Before she could unlock the screen, she suddenly saw Lin Fan calling.
"Xiao Fan!" she exclaimed with joy, as if she had finally found an anchor.
The call connected.
"Sister Yurou, are you busy right now?"
"I'm alright, just attending to two important guests."
Lin Fan frowned in confusion.
He asked if she was busy, she said she was alright, and then said she had two important guests.
What exactly did she mean by that?
"Xiao Fan, I have something important to tell you."
"Let me speak first."
Lin Fan said urgently, "I'm in my sister-in-law's village. Their village produces a lot of toon sprouts, but they lack sales channels. Do you know any friends, or can you think of any ways to help them?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yurou was speechless.
What she needed to discuss involved equity ownership of Borun Pharmaceutical, a business deal worth tens or even hundreds of millions!
And he was talking about toon sprouts from a rural village?
Did he even understand what was more important?
Even a slight misstep here could result in losses enough to buy thousands of trainloads of toon sprouts!
"Give me the phone," Zheng Yue suddenly said.
Su Yurou hesitated for a second, then handed the phone to Zheng Yue.
For such an important matter, it was indeed necessary for Lin Fan to discuss it personally.
"Hello, why aren't you speaking? Can you help me sell toon sprouts? Just give me a word, yes or no, and if not, forget it." Lin Fan was getting annoyed, not hearing a response from Su Yurou.
What was going on?
Had she become too arrogant after becoming a general manager?
As Lin Fan was getting angry, he suddenly heard a clear, sweet voice.
"You want to sell toon sprouts, right?"
"You are..."
Lin Fan found the voice somewhat familiar, but through the phone, he couldn't immediately identify who it was.
"Hmph," Zheng Yue snorted playfully, "I can contact Uncle Xie and have your toon sprouts enter Lotus Supermarket, selling them in major cities across the country."
"Miss Zheng!" Lin Fan finally realized.
Besides her, who else had such great influence!
"It's me." Zheng Yue held the phone with great gentleness, as if she were embracing her lover.
Su Yurou stared intently at Zheng Yue, thinking, "Tian Mengyao has a formidable rival! I hope they don't destroy the foundation I've worked so hard to build through their future rivalry."
"Why are you here?" Lin Fan asked, his voice a mix of joy and sorrow, tinged with worry.
"What, you don't welcome me?" Zheng Yue's playful tone was extremely obvious.
Zhou Weiguo was filled with trepidation.
If Tian Mengyao found out he had brought a wolf into the sheepfold, he could be in big trouble!
"Welcome, of course, I welcome you. I'm just worried... Is Uncle well?" Lin Fan asked with a wry smile.
"My father wants you to protect me," Zheng Yue said smugly.
Lin Fan was taken aback. He was supposed to protect her?
Wait, had he discussed this with her?
Had he given his consent?
"Lin Fan, what's your attitude?" Zheng Yue's pretty face turned cold, and she questioned him angrily.
Lin Fan quickly replied, "As long as I'm here, no one will be able to harm a single hair on your head."
"That's more like it," Zheng Yue pouted.
Lin Fan's mind was in a turmoil. "Miss Zheng, are you at Borun Pharmaceutical?"
"Yes, I'm here to invest." Zheng Yue said happily. "Although it's... I can't just do nothing. This is a good opportunity to increase our investment in China."
Lin Fan heard the unsaid meaning in her words.
The Zheng family clearly had no intention of backing down.
The struggle for royal power has always been long; the first step is often followed by the second, and one cannot stop halfway.
Even if the Zheng family were willing to give up and live as obedient subjects, would the royal family let them go?
They were transferring a portion of their assets to serve as a fallback for the Zheng family.
Zheng Yue's visit was truly killing two birds with one stone.
"Xiao Fan, I've agreed to what you said. What do you say about me investing in Borun Pharmaceutical?" Zheng Yue asked sweetly.
"This..." Lin Fan hesitated to speak.
It was just a small county-level pharmaceutical company, not something particularly valuable. He usually didn't pay much attention to it, letting Su Yurou manage it.
Adding Zheng Yue to it wouldn't matter either.
Even if it went bankrupt one day, at most he would lament that he wasn't cut out for business, and that would be the end of it.
"The company is jointly owned by a few of us. I'll discuss it with the others first," Lin Fan said.
"No need to discuss. Secretary Tian from your village has already agreed," Zheng Yue said quickly.
"Agreed?" Lin Fan couldn't believe his ears.
How could Tian Mengyao possibly agree?
Others might not understand Tian Mengyao, but he did. She was a woman who appeared straightforward and generous on the outside but was quite petty on the inside.
"It's true. Secretary Zhou is also here. He personally confirmed it over the phone," Zheng Yue said with a giggle.
"Damn it!" Zhou Weiguo's face turned pale. He shouted inwardly, "You're intentionally trying to harm me! Those weren't my exact words!"
"Miss Zheng..." Cold sweat beaded on Zhou Weiguo's forehead.
As sharp and resourceful as he was, he couldn't think of a suitable explanation at this moment.
"Since Secretary Tian has agreed, I have no objections either. You can discuss the rest with Manager Su. I don't understand business matters," Lin Fan said.
"Mmm, don't worry."
The call ended.
Zheng Yue's eyes gleamed with cunning, like a great wolf looking at a little rabbit. She turned to Su Yurou, scaring Su Yurou speechless, her heart sinking.
With this half-baked, self-taught little boss, Zheng Yue could do whatever she pleased.
"Manager Su, Xiao Fan has agreed. He said we should discuss the rest of the matters between ourselves."
*Snap!*
Zheng Yue snapped her fingers crisply.
Zheng Ke immediately pushed open the door. Then, over a dozen men and women in suits, all exuding an air of corporate professionalism, strode in.
Su Yurou looked back and her heart sank.
Damn it!
This was bullying!
She silently cursed her partners for being so incompetent.
Both Tian Mengyao and Lin Fan were like this.
