"What does this have to do with your investigation?" Chen Mengyao was stunned.

Tang Xiaobao said: "Of course it is related, just listen to me."

After listening to Tang Xiaobao's story, Chen Mengyao's expression was very indifferent, as if she had no interest at all.

"Oh, I see."

Her answer was also perfunctory.

Tang Xiaobao was a little depressed: "Hey, you should at least show some concern."

"What's there to worry about?" Chen Mengyao asked back.

"This is related to our tourism project."

"Come on, I wasn't optimistic about this project from the beginning. I'm glad it didn't lose money. Ultimately, it's just your wishful thinking to do something for your hometown, which I support. But when it comes to tourism projects or resources, I'm really not interested."

Chen Mengyao said bluntly.

Tang Xiaobao blushed and said with a wry smile, "Okay, I understand."

"However, our company's investigation report has been submitted. You can take a look at it. This plan is the first version and will definitely need to be revised later. Write your opinions directly on it. I will ask them to revise it, and then we can negotiate with the Tongjiang County Government. Since you insist on investing, there is no time to lose. It is always beneficial to get the project up and running as soon as possible. Once everything is on track, we can free up our energy." Chen Mengyao handed Tang Xiaobao a plan.

This is the report produced by the company's inspection team after their visit to Tongjiang, which also includes a planning proposal.

Of course, everything has to wait for the big boss Tang Xiaobao to review.

He doesn't necessarily care about ordinary things.

But everyone knew that this tourism project was promised by him personally, and he attached great importance to it, so naturally he had to review it.

Tang Xiaobao took it, flipped through it, and said, "Well, I'll go back first. I guess there are some documents over there that need me to deal with, right?"

"Don't worry, I've asked Secretary Lu to deliver them. There are a few important documents, and since you're not here, I'll approve them first. The rest are not particularly urgent, so you don't have to go over there yet." Chen Mengyao said.

Tang Xiaobao frowned: "Anything else?"

"You really don't want to stay here with me?" Chen Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

Tang Xiaobao quickly smiled and said, "How is that possible? I wish I could stay with Sister Shen every day."

"Slippery."

Chen Mengyao rolled her eyes at Tang Xiaobao and her expression turned serious.

"The business world is like a battlefield. You've been away for almost ten days now. There are a lot of things we need to discuss. No matter what the issue is, we must be on the same page, otherwise nothing can be accomplished."

"That makes sense. Tell me, what happened recently?" Tang Xiaobao sat down and finally calmed down.

Let's put personal matters aside for now. This is official business. Since it has happened, we should just accept it. Besides, nothing happened last night, so why should we feel guilty?

Chen Mengyao returned to her desk, took out a cowhide bag from the drawer, pulled out a stack of A4 paper from it, and handed it to Tang Xiaobao: "Take a look at this again."

After looking at the item in his hand, Tang Xiaobao frowned. "You've already told me the general situation. Now you're sure that Li Jing's death is related to Cao Jianguo and his son?"

"Apart from them, no one can find Li Jing's whereabouts. Even getting her phone number is difficult because it's a new number she's used and no one else can know it."

After a pause, Chen Mengyao added: "Besides, I believe in the abilities of Zhang Xiong and the others."

"At least this matter has nothing to do with Cao Ying, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the military district to investigate," Tang Xiaobao added.

"That's natural," Chen Mengyao said, "It seems like we can't do anything right now."

"You actually want to attack Cao Jianguo and his son, right?"

Tang Xiaobao asked solemnly.

Just as Chen Mengyao was about to speak, her secretary Xiaomei came back and handed her a document.

After signing, Chen Mengyao said, "Xiaomei, please step aside for a moment."

Xiaomei was stunned, nodded and walked out.

"Let's continue." Chen Mengyao said, "You know my character."

"So you want to fight back."

Tang Xiaobao said, "The question is, what are our chances of success? Moreover, we have a biggest enemy lurking in the dark, so we can't let our guard down."

He was referring to Xiao Jian.

"I know that it is precisely because the Cao family is an arm of Xiao Jian that I want to touch them. With our strength, I believe we can still put a lot of pressure on them." Chen Mengyao said.

Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but for Li Jing, I don't want the company to confront them too early."

"Are you worried about Cao Ying? Don't forget, she is also my good friend, but this matter has nothing to do with her." Chen Mengyao said with some dissatisfaction.

Tang Xiaobao said, "I admit that this is an important reason why I oppose it, but there is another reason. Didn't you say that Li Jing got the formula for our new medicine?"

"Yes, but you have always been mysterious. That's why I wanted to test you." Chen Mengyao confessed.

"Don't you believe me?" Tang Xiaobao suddenly laughed. "Don't worry, I really know the answer. There's no need to test me. I know my formula best. Since you want to know so much, I can tell you."

Chen Mengyao listened attentively.

She was genuinely curious.

"First of all, the formulas for our two flagship products, Shenlong Regeneration Pills and Shenlong Hemostatic Ointment, are actually very easy to find. All we need to do is visit a medicinal herb planting base and then consult an expert. We can quickly test the raw materials. But the important thing is that the dosage of each medicine is extremely difficult to control. They definitely won't be able to solve this problem without six months."

Tang Xiaobao said very confidently.

Chen Mengyao frowned: "But what about half a year later?"

"Didn't we apply for a patent?" Tang Xiaobao suddenly asked.

"You know, there's always a way." Chen Mengyao said, "They can just swap in a few herbs with similar properties, then change the name, and there'll be no problem."

"If we change the medicinal materials, how can we control the quantity? You know, the most critical factor in matching various medicinal materials is the quantity. If the combination is wrong, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.

Chen Mengyao continued, "But as long as they spend time, they can always test it out."

"it's useless."

Tang Xiaobao shook his head and smiled, "Let me continue with what I was talking about. I was talking about the problem of combining herbs. They need a long time to figure it out. Secondly, even if you're right and they can finally solve this problem, it's still meaningless because there's a secret to these recipes. The dosage varies depending on the season. If I don't tell you, no one will ever figure it out. Think about it, the medicine they make in spring is pretty effective, but what about the other three seasons? It's completely ineffective. They'll be shooting themselves in the foot."

Shen Mengyao was indeed shocked.

Seeing her stunned look, Tang Xiaobao felt particularly proud.

Humph, if you want to steal my recipe, it’s useless even if I give it to you.
