Chapter 77 I am a surgeon, not a psychiatrist...

The people she likes and the people she dislikes are all discussing business together in Pengcheng, while she is excluded from this small meeting.

Tu Jiaojiao couldn't stand it and repeatedly got up, trying to storm into the conference room.

Xiao Luolin once again took the blame. He endured the pain and sacrificed himself, holding the kicking Tu Jiaojiao in his arms, determined never to let this rascal do anything devastating again.

***

This meeting was led by Jiang Miaomiao.

She sat in the center and succinctly stated the topic of today's discussions: "Let's begin our group meeting."

Han Cuo's lips twitched: "Let's correct our wording first, lest others use this as an excuse to spread rumors that a gentleman like me is involved in some illegal organization!"

These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and Jiang Miaomiao asked directly, "Who is this 'other person' that Young Master Han is referring to?"

Han Cuo's eyes immediately glanced at Jiang Si, who was sucking on a lollipop to the side.

Jiang Si looked around, freed one index finger from her hand holding the candy stick, and pointed at herself: "You're actually talking about me?"

Now it was Han's turn to be stunned: "...It seems you're not only brainless when it comes to love, but also completely lacking in self-awareness?!"

The "love-obsessed" meme is really hard to shake off.

Jiang Si frowned: "Is it a crime for me to eat candy?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Miaomiao tapped the table and interjected, "Jiang Si, I think he means you deliberately cropped that business group photo into a male-female double photo and then posted it on your WeChat Moments to hook Xia Renyao."

Han Cuo nodded, "Even a tool has its pride and a sense of self-respect."

Jiang Si responded with an "Oh".

She simply said "Oh" and made no other comment.

"Money." Jiang Si was extremely decisive.

“Then apologize to Young Master Han.”

"Yes, sir." Jiang Si immediately sat up straight, facing Han Cuo with an innocent and charming face and honest eyes: "Young Master Han, it's all my fault for being greedy for your good looks in the past. I went to great lengths to cut out a photo of the two of us to post on my WeChat Moments to satisfy my vanity and show off, causing you mental and physical distress. I deeply regret this and will definitely refrain from arrogance and impetuosity in the future, and be a more down-to-earth person."

The second half of this apology sounds so familiar: "Keep humble and modest? Be a down-to-earth person?"

The people present subconsciously thought they were listening to a principal's opening speech.

Jiang Miaomiao then said, "Since the two parties have successfully reached a settlement, let's put this matter behind us."

Jiang Si nodded: "We have no objection."

Han Cuo, the victim who was forced to forgive on his behalf, felt a pang of pain in his heart: "...You were absolutely right about the theme of the meeting just now, it was a meeting of thugs banding together! Shameless!"

...

A map of Longgang is projected on the wall. It is a remote corner in the northwest of Shenzhen, a place with a large area and a small population.

Jiang Miaomiao's initial online store was positioned in the middle, taking a niche approach to successfully attract local residents and then draw in tourists who came specifically to see it. Opening a second store would mean a smaller market share, inevitably leading to fierce competition and internal strife.

However, Jiang Miaomiao got straight to the point: "It's different when we join forces to make the pie bigger."

Han Cuo agreed, as he had come prepared with multiple plans. "Real estate is the most profitable sector right now, but Shenzhen is resisting foreign investment in it. That leaves us with only one option: developing tourism and entertainment."

Having read too many novels, he longed to be a domineering CEO, then, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, look up at the sky and shout, "Heavens, cold, king, broken!"

Jiang Miaomiao said seriously, "...If we join forces to fight back, can we take down a listed company of the size of Xie's Group?"

Han Cuo sneered: "Are you underestimating my Han Group or overestimating the Xie Group?"

Jiang Miaomiao smiled and said, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I was just using the biggest local snake as a metaphor."

Han Cuo said disdainfully, "So what if the local bully is powerful? One is a dragon, the other a snake; their races are inherently dominant."

Jiang Si curled her lip in exasperation. How arrogant!

Han Cuo caught her disdainful gesture out of the corner of his eye and said directly, "What? You have a problem with that?"

Jiang Si, who was called out in public again, was speechless.

Han Cuo continued, "Pengcheng boasts of its inclusive investment policy, but if it tolerates these local businessmen's monopolistic practices and leaves no room for foreign businesses, I don't mind making a scene that's known throughout the country. At that time, not only will the Pengcheng government lose face, but the Hong Kong government will also suffer. It will be a devastating blow to Pengcheng's economic development! I believe that the inland government and local businessmen are not that stupid, but if they really do act stupidly, are we afraid that we can't deal with these idiots?"

Because there are no entertainment attractions, factories, companies, or anything else here; it's remote and desolate.

Small companies can't afford to grow, and large companies look down on them, which is why she was able to successfully obtain the land management rights here and build a shopping mall to pave the way for future expansion.

In short, Jiang Miaomiao said, "If we don't have good innate conditions, then we'll join forces to create them. We'll take advantage of Longgang's vast land and low prices to build the number one amusement park in Shenzhen, and then build themed hotels in the surrounding area. This will attract investment from various parties, increase living conditions, and promote consumption."

Jiang Miaomiao, Han Cuo, Jiang Si, and others are already business leaders among the younger generation.

Great minds think alike.

Han Cuo led Chen Shi'an to claim the hotel. After all, the Han's Hotel, operated by his Han Group, was an international collaboration. By buying some copyrights and repackaging it a little, it could become a five-star themed hotel.

Jiang Miaomiao didn't want to try to do too much and end up with nothing, so she held onto the Longgang Mall brand as everyone's safety net and backup plan.

Jiang Si teamed up with Ren Ziwei to take on the project of building the amusement park, but her ambitions were even greater. She aimed not only to create the number one amusement park in Shenzhen, but to create a Chinese-style amusement park that was unique in China and even the world.

After everyone had assigned their tasks, they immediately called in the assistant lawyer who was waiting outside the meeting room to draft the contract, aiming for a swift and decisive outcome.

...

Even Ren Ziwei initially mistakenly believed that Han Cuo went straight to Shenzhen to build a second shopping mall in Longgang to compete with Jiang Miaomiao, given their well-known love-hate relationship.

Just as businessmen from both Shenzhen and Hong Kong were eagerly anticipating their second fierce battle.

As a result, everyone was happy to watch the play.

...

Han Cuo, as if divinely inspired, accelerated the completion of a series of land transaction processes.

However, half a month later, inside information finally leaked out that Han Cuo was not developing a commercial complex to compete with Jiang Miaomiao at all, but rather to create the theme hotel that Han's family was best at.

The business community was in an uproar: Although Han's Hotel is internationally renowned, it only operates in the most prosperous urban centers. Why would it choose a remote and worthless place like Longgang?

Following that, Jiang Si also successfully purchased a large tract of mountain land not far from Jiang Miaomiao Mall. The development plan revealed that she would cooperate with the Ren family to develop an entertainment park that integrates eating, drinking and entertainment.

This has even alarmed the Xie Group, the smugglers; something is definitely not right!

Based on the information gathered by Jing Yanyu, Xie Ran vaguely speculated, "Jiang Miaomiao and Han Cuo have probably joined forces."

Having anticipated that the news could not be kept secret, Jiang Miaomiao and her team allowed external probes to proceed while secretly accelerating their actions.

As the amusement park took shape and various distinctive hotels sprang up one after another, shining brightly, those in the industry realized that this group of people had joined forces to encircle Longgang and create a self-sufficient commercial empire.

If successful, they will undoubtedly make a fortune, and even the Xie Group may not be able to shake their interests.

Originally, Jiang Zhengye, Jiang Yaowu, Jiang Chengyu, and others who were waiting to watch the show, as well as Song Xiyan and the Song family behind her, and the Tu family behind Tu Jiaojiao, all hoped for a fight between Jiang Miaomiao and Han Cuo for various reasons, with the best outcome being a complete mess.

But this is what I expected?

They reconciled with a smile and secretly started an affair.

The men of the Jiang family were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and dreamed of strangling the "too capable" Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Si.

Song Xiyan and the Song family felt their hair stand on end.

Song Xiyan also secretly sought out someone to summon a ghost, intending to curse Jiang Miaomiao day and night so that she would die a horrible death.

The two Tu brothers made one mistake after another, missing out on Jiang Miaomiao's collaboration, and were so remorseful they almost slapped their thighs raw.

Tu Xichen called Tu Jiaojiao repeatedly, saying, "You're both human, and both women, how come you're so different!"

However, "I really don't understand." As Jiang Si's most capable assistant, Qin Shuang always harbored doubts and a vague sense of animosity towards her niece.

She didn't understand why Han Cuo and Jiang Miaomiao's collaboration would cause such a stir in the industry.

"The two were clearly locked in a fierce battle of wits and tricks over a 100 million yuan bet, going head to head. Now, with their first collaboration, everyone in the industry is naturally convinced that they're destined to be a winning combination?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Qin Shuang, your approach is similar to Song Xiyan's, so you can't understand that true masters are 'each king when they are divided, but invincible when they are united'."

Qin Shuang was taken aback: "How am I similar to a woman like Song Xiyan?"

Jiang Si's smile gradually turned cold: "You're becoming more and more self-righteous. You look down on Jiang Miaomiao, but you're not worthy to be compared to her at all."

Some of the young people from Gangcheng who went to Shenzhen to work together did indeed defy the odds and wanted to sabotage the collaboration.

The Jiang Group behind Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Si is now the Han Group, ruled by Han Cuo. The Ren family, with only Ren Ziwei as its heir, is involved. Even Xue Shaoyuan, who has always been neutral, has dragged the Xue family into the fray, forcibly bringing in his friend Tu Jiaojiao's Tu family, Xiao Luolin's Xiao family, and others to launch a joint counterattack.

Even in the complex environment of Hong Kong, these young people, fighting alone, were enough to make even seasoned Hong Kong businessmen avoid them. Let alone now, as they've displayed the power of their families and joined forces in a show of force. That kind of power, even in the unfamiliar city of Shenzhen, is not to be underestimated!

"Anyone who tries to undermine our cooperation, interfere with our construction process, or sabotage our profits, need not be polite," Jiang Miaomiao reiterated, raising her hand to show her stance... This led to frequent incidents at the company gates of male bosses—pregnant women who wanted to speak but ultimately couldn't, causing gossip and strained family relationships within the company. The same applied to female bosses.

What kind of tactic is this? Using a handsome man and a beautiful woman to this extent is just too bizarre!

Everyone was scared and went into hiding.

Upon seeing this, the Hong Kong government immediately issued a press release congratulating them on "this powerful alliance, unstoppable," clearly hoping that Jiang Miaomiao and others could represent Hong Kong in creating a spectacular event that would never be repeated.

"Congratulations to Dr. Yan on becoming a full-fledged employee."

The hospital is planning a celebration banquet to commemorate Yan Yousui's successful completion of her probationary period after transferring to Pengcheng.

Since there is a lot of daily interaction between the orthopedics and surgery departments, Director Yao volunteered to personally host this cross-departmental celebration.

The deputy attending physicians under Director Yao's command were all running around in circles, and the scene was even more grand than when she herself was promoted.

Ah, it's not high enough!

Dr. Yan is naive and doesn't think too much.

He just felt that Dr. Lin hadn't been sleeping well lately, which was why his eyes were wet and full of discharge.

"..." Lin Yuqing, this was a bolt from the blue.

Yan Yousui came over to advise Director Yao not to be so polite, as getting a permanent position is not uncommon, and making such a fuss makes him feel embarrassed.

Her hair was jet black and glossy, clearly indicating good nutrition.

Fair, smooth, and rosy skin; a disciplined and healthy lifestyle.

Gentle in temperament, elegant in demeanor, pure in heart, and well-mannered...

Such a good seedling has been planted in their hospital's soil, why can't we make a big deal out of it?

Director Yao strongly refused, saying that even if the activity funding could not be obtained, he would still have to pay for it out of his own pocket!

Unable to dissuade her, Yan Yousui could only respectfully thank Director Yan for her concern, which stirred Director Yao's heart, which had been filled with the affections of a young woman: Look, what a good child she is.

"..." Lin Yuqing, this world that judges people by their looks is beyond saving.

Lin Yuqing went to Lu Han to complain, crying.

Lu Han was making her rounds when she heard his rant and said she couldn't empathize with him, since she and Yan Yousui were equally beautiful.

"Shameless!" Lin Yuqing spat, grabbing her sleeve as he angrily prayed to the heavens, "Lord, I'm willing to give up ten years of my life to ensure that there are no more handsome men and beautiful women in the world. Please grant my wish... ah, a super beauty!"

A beautiful, graceful woman suddenly emerged from the elevator entrance in the corridor.

He abruptly stopped, quickly retracting his prayer. Yes, the world still needs beautiful women!

Lin Yuqing straightened his clothes, intending to strike up a conversation, but saw that the beauty had already started walking towards him.

Huh? They really are walking this way.

The gaze was fixed on him from the direction of the two points, confirming that the person was definitely walking towards him.

Heavens above!

Oh, Earth!

Is this the power of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it?

Did this stunning beauty see through his ordinary appearance to his inner beauty?!

Is my love finally here?!

Just as Lin Yuqing was lost in thought, Jiang Miaomiao, who had approached, shifted her gaze from Lu Han to the expressive Lin Yuqing beside her, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Your patient?"

Lu Han frowned and said, "I'm a surgeon, not a psychiatrist."
