Lu Fan smiled and gestured for Zhang Fan to drive, saying he wanted to take Jiang Manyue to the city for a good meal, do some shopping, or maybe catch a movie.

“We haven’t had a proper date in a long time. The weather is great, and this is a rare opportunity.”

"As for the company's affairs, don't worry, I will entrust them to the e-commerce department and ask them to write a plan for the shopping platform."

"If all goes well, it should be set up next month, and then we won't have to be held back by a few foreign companies anymore."

Jiang Manyue smiled gently, gladly accepting her husband's thoughtfulness while also giving him a little treat.

Jiang Manyue's cherry-red lips gently touched Lu Fan's cheek, and she said with a smile:

"Then I will have my public relations department cooperate."

Although Lu Fan was very confident in building the shopping platform, a tall building starts from the ground up, and a solid foundation must be laid first.

Originally intending to establish a solid foundation in Nanshan City before expanding again, he clearly couldn't wait to gradually lay out his plans.

The next day, Lu Fan asked Lü Qiuyi to continue contacting Zhu Dafu and his son, who had not yet returned.

The acquisition deal, which had already stalled, continues to move forward.

However, Lu Fan did not discuss the specific details with Zhu Dafu and his son, but instead instructed Lü Qiuyi:

"The acquisition of Fumantang and the expansion of Baiyue must be accelerated." "This matter is entirely entrusted to you. If Zhu Dafu can make up for Fumantang's funding gap as much as possible, I don't mind giving up a few more percentage points."

Lu Qiuyi didn't expect that only an afternoon and a morning had passed.

Lu Fan then changed his mind.

However, since she oversees the entire legal department, even if she doesn't actively inquire about matters concerning the soy sauce factory, people from other offices will come and gossip with her department.

Therefore, Lü Qiuyi was already aware of the difficulties faced by Wang Wei and their sales department.

Lu Qiuyi thought that Lu Fan had called her over today to discuss the agreement with the shopping platform.

Are there any lawsuits or similar matters?

Who knew it would turn out to be an acquisition?

It's no wonder Lü Qiuyi couldn't understand; she frowned and asked Lu Fan seriously:

"Mr. Lu, if we rush to acquire Fumantang, it could cause us direct economic losses. The difference between the two acquisitions could be as much as ten or twenty million."

"The price-performance ratio might not be very good, so why not take your time to choose a suitable store, or even buy land in the suburbs?"

"If we continue to develop like this for a few more years, we will have net revenue."

But if it's only ten or twenty million, it's just a drop in the ocean for Lu Fan.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Fan changed his words:

"I can spend this money, but I want to see results. I think Minister Lü has also heard the saying that time is money."

"The same principle applies to me and to Fan Yue Real Estate."

"However, I will arrange for the finance department to follow up on this matter, and there absolutely cannot be too many unnecessary expenses involved."

What Lü Qiuyi couldn't understand, Lu Fan considered perfect.

After all, money should be used for investment, not for nurturing parasites.

If an individual or a department gradually opens the floodgates to greed, then small acts of greed will eventually turn into huge ones.

Until one day, what they have revealed in this mouth can no longer satisfy their greed, then even the tallest building will collapse from an ant hole.

Lu Fan absolutely did not want such a situation to happen.

Lü Qiuyi understood Lu Fan's meaning and quickly expressed her opinion:

"Don't worry, our department will work closely with the finance department to keep an eye on things, and there won't be a single bad debt."

Lu Fan has always been very satisfied with Lü Qiuyi's work attitude.

After seeing Lü Qiuyi off, Lu Fan summoned Wang Wei, who had always been depressed:

"Things have stabilized at Baiyue now, and I plan to arrange for you and Zhou Huan to visit a few surrounding cities."

Wang Wei was immediately surprised: "President Lu, what's going on?"

Suddenly being called over, and the topic of going to another city, made Wang Wei instantly think she was about to be fired.

But when he thought about how Lu Fan had also arranged for Zhou Huan to come along, his mind immediately started racing, guessing that there was some task to be assigned.

Wang Wei immediately perked up and said, "President Lu, please make the arrangements. I have no problem with this."

Lu Fan chuckled and glanced at her sideways, saying:

"What, you didn't even ask me why I sent you two out?"

Wang Wei smiled somewhat shyly, pursed her lips, and tentatively asked:

"It must be related to the supermarket, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have arranged for Zhou Huan to travel with me."

"It must be related to sales."

It has to be said that Wang Wei's guess was quite accurate.

Lu Fan didn't bother teasing her any further and directly explained the task:

"That's right, our Fanyue Real Estate Company has recently acquired quite a few supermarket chains."

"Funding is not a problem, but the renovation progress is too slow, especially since some parts don't quite match my aesthetic."

Lu Fan paused for a moment, then handed the planning documents to Wang Wei.
