"Hehe, I wouldn't dare call myself a treasure, I'm just trying to make a living!"

"Ah, you're mistaken. Director Bai is young and promising! Not only is he the vice president of the military hospital, but he's also run such a large pharmaceutical factory. He's truly impressive!" Yuan Xin said with a smile. "I have a suggestion; I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"Director Yuan, please speak." Bai Yajing maintained a polite smile throughout.

"We at Minsheng want to acquire Xiangshi Pharmaceutical; the price is negotiable," Yuan Xin said, getting straight to the point.

"This is what I'm thinking. Vice Dean Bai, you must be very busy with so many things to do every day. It must be very tiring and tiring to take care of the factory on weekdays. After all, a person's energy is limited."

Why not cooperate with me? Hand over the factory to me, and you just need to be listed as a co-owner and collect the money! Oh, and of course, that includes the patent rights to all your prescriptions.

He knew that the Xiang family had more than just this much. Since this woman was a descendant of the Xiang family, no matter how much she inherited, she was still gaining something!

Let her be listed as a registered author; after all, those places recognize her name, and it will be convenient to get her any good medicine she might have in the future.

Bai Yajing felt a pang of sarcasm in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "I appreciate Director Yuan's kindness, but Xiang's is the culmination of my grandmother's generations of hard work, and I want to run it independently."

Yuan Xin's smile froze slightly for a moment, then he recovered: "Director Bai, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Running a small factory is so hard. Joining our Minsheng Group means you'll have readily available resources and channels."

Your family's reputation is also flourishing, isn't it?

He knew perfectly well what his family hoped for.

"I suppose your grandmother should have told you my identity by now."

I'm your uncle's apprentice, so I'm not exactly an outsider, am I?

Bai Yajing was so angry she laughed. No matter how eloquently he spoke, she knew perfectly well what he was secretly planning.

"Oh? How come I didn't know about this? My grandmother never mentioned Director Yuan!"

She feigned ignorance, leaving Yuan Xin speechless and his face stiff. He thought Xiang Lan would at least mention him to him, but to his surprise, she didn't mention him at all. Did she look down on him that much?

"Hehehe, it's all old news. Since Sister Xiang didn't bring it up, let's just leave it at that. But you just need to know it yourself."

I'll say it again: we're all family, I won't treat you unfairly!

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it. My factory has already developed and doesn't need anyone else's help."

Especially 'help' with ill intentions!

Yuan Xin gritted his teeth. This woman, despite her youth, was completely unsuspecting.

"Hehehe, Comrade Bai, I'll say it again, don't rush to refuse. You can go back and discuss it properly with your grandmother. After all, in Kyoto, I, Yuan Xin, still have some influence..."

These words carried a hint of threat, as if he would resort to some underhanded tactics if we didn't agree...

"I'm very clear about my choice." Bai Yajing stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

She couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense anymore. Now that she knew his purpose, she knew how to resolve the situation.

Yuan Xin stared at Bai Yajing's departing figure, his face gradually darkening.

"Hmph! As expected of the Xiang family, they still have all those bad habits!"

He dialed a number: "Old Zheng, help me check all the paperwork for Xiang's Pharmaceutical...yes, especially the drug approvals..."

"Hehehe, okay, thanks! I'll treat you to drinks another day!"

After Bai Yajing returned home, she told her grandmother about it.
