The rain didn't stop; in fact, it got heavier and heavier.

Lin Ziyan sneezed and looked out the window at the tree branches bent by the wind and rain, lost in thought.

She now feels something is wrong; everything is going too smoothly.

Creak.

Lin Ziyan turned and looked towards the door.

Lu Yunshen's expression was solemn, and his brows were etched with gloom.

"Chen Niaoshu ran away?" Lin Ziyan's heart skipped a beat.

So there are people behind all those who were caught.

Lu Yunshen: "Yes, the chemistry professor is dead."

Only Wang Erniu was abandoned…

They're playing a series of tricks, first using one to their advantage and then slipping away unnoticed.

It also drew everyone's attention to those three people, causing them to lower their guard.

Lu Yunshen's eyes darkened. The person who could evade him was someone who was very well hidden behind Chen Niaoshu, and it was very likely that they had never made a move themselves.

Lin Ziyan nodded. When she heard that Wei Sheng had an accident in the detention center today and might become a vegetable, she had a premonition that something bad had happened.

"I just told Grandma that they'll be sending people to protect our neighborhood recently." Lu Yun Shen gently put his arm around her shoulder, his gaze deep.

Just as he and Xiao Jingang arrived at the port, another incident occurred at the detention center.

Several people died in an accident at the same time.

And almost all of them had been in contact with chemistry professors.

…

On the other side

When Lu Qiuying returned to her residence, she saw Xiao Jin leaning against the balcony railing smoking, and paused for a moment.

The news of what happened in the detention center spread to a small circle, and almost everyone in the government building knew about it.

Furthermore, they also spread rumors that Xiao Jin was a member of the investigation team.

Lu Qiuying laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing Xiao Jin like this now, her eyelids twitched, and she felt that the rumors outside might be true.

"Work badge." Xiao Jin proactively handed her the badge to look at.

When he showed his work badge at the detention center today, he realized that it would spread to a small circle.

However, he never intended to hide it; he just hadn't found the right opportunity.

The position of Minister of Urban Planning was merely his previous public identity.

A year after returning to China, his identity was no longer a secret.

Lu Qiuying glanced at the work badge. "The photo on the work badge looks quite youthful."

Xiao Jin's lips slowly curved into a smile, and he reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Your reaction is too calm."

The two of them burst out laughing at the same time.

Lu Qiuying wasn't one to be coy; she accepted Xiao Jin's new identity in just a few seconds.

"Captain Xiao, please be more lenient in the future. When you investigate the Ministry of Commerce, please show some consideration?" A sly glint flashed in Lu Qiuying's eyes.

"A favor? Minister Lu wants me to abuse my power for personal gain?" Xiao Jin's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in her ear.

Lu Qiuying flinched back, feeling a tingling sensation in her ear as if she'd been electrocuted.

“Minister Lu, there’s something wrong with your thinking. Let’s discuss it.” After saying that, Xiao Jin picked her up and strode towards the bathroom.

The rain pattered incessantly, accompanied by wind and rain.

The sky above Fukushi was shrouded in rain and fog, and everything seemed unchanged.

Lu Qiuying put on a light jacket and leaned back on the sofa to look at the documents. She raised an eyebrow. Guangzhou was actually going to hold an electronics exhibition.

This exhibition was organized by the S Group.

Xiao Jin turned on the hairdryer to dry her hair, and only put it down when her hair was half dry.

"You can even hold an electronics exhibition in Guangzhou now?" he asked in surprise.

The invitation was forwarded to Fuzhou, and it was obvious who was to be invited.

Fushi only has one electrical appliance brand, which is also the only one in China to have gone global.

So this invitation was intended for the Ministry of Commerce to forward to Hairun?

Lu Qiuying: "I guess they're afraid Hairun won't participate."

"Hairun's main market this year is still overseas. After acquiring Carty, Hairun has entered the high-end overseas market."

"Currently, the domestic electronics market mainly sells products priced in the low to mid-range."

She guessed the organizer's intentions as soon as she saw the invitation.

Unlike S Appliances, Hairun did not open many branches, but only retained the Yangcheng branch.

Many wholesalers trust Hairun's products and have consistently followed them.

Hairun's Guangzhou branch is now booming, doing just as well as S Appliances' branch.

Other domestic brands take Hairun as their benchmark and have been working hard on research and development without daring to slack off in the slightest.

Lu Qiuying believes that such healthy competition is good, as it can encourage various brands to improve.

“Hairun’s marketing strategy is unprecedented overseas. S Group probably wants to figure out their direction but doesn’t want to lower its own standards.” Xiao Jin analyzed simply, feeling very impressed.

Lin Ziyan seemed to have guessed the development direction of the S Group.

By doing the opposite, they caught S Group off guard.

Lu Qiuying nodded. "To be honest, at first I thought Ayan's approach was a bit... fanciful."

But as she walked out step by step, it became clear that she was both bold and had seized the right opportunity.

"In Country A, S Electric Appliances has always been the leader in the electrical appliance industry. For more than ten years, no other electrical appliance brand in Country A has been able to shake its position. Now that Hairun has torn a hole in it, the top management of S Electric Appliances must be panicking."

Xiao Jin nodded; in this respect, both he and Lu Yunshen were inferior.

No one can guess what she'll do next.

Why did Katie suddenly show up at our door?

How did Ren Donglai break into the electronics market in Country H?

Even one person in the marketing department of S Group probably couldn't find the answer.

…

The next day, as soon as Lin Ziyan arrived at her office, the Ministry of Commerce delivered the invitation letter.

The chubby girl watched for a while, then pouted, "Did they really need to go through all that trouble?"
