After Gao Zhe finished signing his name, Lin Li stood up and extended her hand to him.

Welcome to the company!

"Thank you, boss. I will work hard!"

Lin Li smiled and nodded, "I'll take you to the factory!"

The three of them arrived at the factory together. After Gao Zhe toured the entire factory, a blush appeared on his face.

This factory is so beautiful, and all the facilities are complete. As soon as the staff arrives, we can start production!

After Gao Zhe finished his tour, Lin Li led him to the office.

“Wang Jianguo was in charge of all the preliminary preparations for the pharmaceutical factory. Now you have to take over this job.”

The two nodded in unison.

"Once the pharmaceutical company receives its approval, I'll transfer the start-up capital into the company's account. At that point, you'll be fully responsible for recruitment and production arrangements!"

"no problem!"

Gao Zhe answered in a bright voice, his smile growing even brighter.

"For my first batch of products, I want to make skincare products with traditional Chinese medicine effects. The drug approval process started before the Lunar New Year, and once the approval is granted, we can start mass production!"

He nodded quickly. He was really lucky; his boss had arranged many things, which greatly reduced his workload and difficulty.

"Alright, you two go over your work first! I have something to do, I'm leaving now!"

Wang Jianguo and Gao Zhe nodded, and after watching Lin Li leave, they began to hand over their work.

Lin Li returned home travel-worn and saw Lin Laosan pacing anxiously back and forth in the living room!

Upon seeing Lin Li return, he excitedly said, "Mom, everything's arranged here. They'll just put the goods directly into the warehouse, and we'll settle the payment once a month!"

After handing over the contracts, Lin Laosan pulled his suitcase and walked towards the door.

"I'm going to miss my train. Let's talk in detail when I get to Beijing!"

Watching Lin Laosan rush out of the house, Lin Li could only swallow the words she was about to say.

Okay! We'll talk about it when you get to Beijing!

Lin Li went to the kitchen, took out noodles from the refrigerator, made herself a spicy and flavorful noodle sauce, and quickly cooked a bowl of noodles.

'Huffing and puffing'

After quickly swallowing the noodles, drink the soup from the bowl into your stomach.

The numbing and spicy flavor warms up your whole body!

"Comfortable!"

After smacking his lips and washing the dishes, he went back to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

In the afternoon, she planned to go back to Beijing to look for a shop, which would take another afternoon. She was afraid she wouldn't have enough energy if she didn't take a nap at noon.

After a good night's sleep and tidying herself up, she appeared in a courtyard house in Beijing.

February in Beijing was still bitterly cold. As soon as Lin Li appeared in the bedroom, she was shivering from the cold wind.

I walked quickly to the wardrobe, opened it, took out a thick blue coat and wrapped it around myself before I could feel warm!

After feeling a slight warmth spread through her body, Lin Li tidied her hair, pushed open the door, and walked out of the courtyard.

After turning a few corners, you'll arrive at Jixiang Hutong.

Jixiang Hutong is now a well-known and bustling place in Beijing.

Shops lined both sides of the street, and shouts and bargaining filled the air.

The sweet aroma of candied hawthorn skewers mingled with the fragrance of fried dough sticks, while the sounds of bicycle bells and tricycle wheels created a lively atmosphere throughout the alley.

Lin Li weaved through the crowd, occasionally stepping aside to avoid vendors pushing their carts, but her eyes never stopped scanning the shops along the street.

Arriving at the familiar real estate agency, Lin Li pushed open the creaking wooden door with practiced ease.

The room was dimly lit, with a few rays of sunlight filtering through the window and casting irregular patches of light on the floor.

Several wooden tables and chairs with peeling paint were placed against the wall, and the wall was covered with various housing information, the papers wrinkled from being turned over.

"Is Master Chen here?" Lin Li asked softly.

Mr. Chen, wearing reading glasses, came out of the house.

"Comrade Lin is here? He's come to look at houses again?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'd like to find a storefront in this Jixiang Hutong, somewhere lively, preferably facing the street," Lin Li stated her needs directly.

Master Chen smiled slightly, "So you're getting ready to start a business? But the storefronts in Jixiang Alley aren't cheap, you..."

Lin Li smiled, took out an oil paper package from the cloth bag she carried with her, carefully opened it, and inside was a neat stack of banknotes. "Money is not a problem, as long as the storefront is suitable."

Seeing this, Master Chen immediately became enthusiastic, moved a chair over for Lin Li to sit down, and said, "Alright! You have a good eye. This Jixiang Hutong is now a prime location, so you can't go wrong with doing business here. I do have a few good properties on hand, you can take a look."

As he spoke, he took a few sheets of paper from the wall and spread them on the table.

Lin Li leaned closer to examine it closely; the document contained detailed information such as the location, size, and price of each storefront.

As she looked, she made plans in her mind.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a piece of paper. It was a storefront at the corner of the alley. It wasn't very big, but it had an excellent location with a lot of foot traffic, and it was right next to a state-owned grocery store.

"Master Chen, how about this one? Can you take me to see it?" Lin Li asked, pointing to the piece of paper.

Master Chen scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "The owner of this room is rather difficult to deal with. We've talked to several buyers before, but nothing came of it. But since you want to see it, I'll take you there to try."

The two left the real estate agency and walked towards the corner of the alley.

On the way, Mr. Chen introduced the storefront to Lin Li. It turned out that the owner was a retired employee who had a deep affection for his house and was reluctant to sell it, so he asked for a relatively high price.

From afar, Lin Li could see the storefront.

The mottled red-lacquered wooden door was tightly closed, with a faded Spring Festival couplet pasted on it. Some of the paint on the walls on both sides of the door had peeled off, revealing the blue bricks underneath.

Through the half-open window, you could see that the room was filled with clutter, and dust was flying around in the sunlight.

Master Chen went up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door slowly opened.

An elderly man with gray hair peeked out, his eyes wary.

"Old Zhou, I've brought a buyer to see the house," Master Chen said with a big smile.

The old man frowned and reluctantly let the two into the house.

The room was dimly lit, and a musty, old smell wafted through the air.

Lin Li didn't care about any of that. She paced back and forth in the house, carefully observing its structure, lighting, and ventilation.

She imagined the place filled with goods, and the bustling scene of customers coming and going.

"Sir, I really like this house, but the price..." Lin Li asked tentatively.
