Time flew by and the first day of summer vacation arrived: July 5th.
In the week leading up to this, Chen Xihua took her final exams while also talking on the phone with her older sister, Xiao Lan, and Wang Ying about work.
The '5+1' Yunhua Group was approved and officially established at the beginning of the year, but it has not been announced to the public until now.
We're just waiting for Chen Xihua to start her summer vacation. The date is set for July 20th, and the location is Yun City, Nan Province.
The founding ceremony of Yunhua Group will be held at Yunhua Building that day.
In the period leading up to the celebration, some employees of Fanghua Apparel Company will move to their offices on the 26th floor of Yunhua Building.
In addition, it involves organizing various recruitment efforts to ensure the right personnel are matched for each department, including human resources and administration.
In addition to employees in the production workshop, there are pattern makers, cutters, sample garment makers, etc.
Other office clerks, management, financial accountants, sales managers, order assistants, factory managers, after-sales service, customer service, designers, etc., will all work in the Yunhua Building.
Of course, most of the time, the factory managers still have to go back to the factory to be in charge of garment production.
Meanwhile, Nanhua Investment Company, led by Manager He Lili and her team of about ten people, moved to the 27th floor of Yunhua Building.
Feng Hua Entertainment Company was located on the 28th floor. An Chuyuan was filming outside, while Liu Quan was in the company, responsible for artist training and management.
The 30th floor of Yunhua Building is the group's headquarters, while the 29th floor is currently vacant.
As for Jinghua Travel Company, which currently has very few employees, it is located on the 25th floor.
Chen Xihua's trip back to Yun City in Nan Province this time is not only to attend the group's anniversary celebration, but also to personally conduct recruitment interviews.
Chen Xihua has basically completed the plans for various tourist attractions at Jinghua Tourism Company and Lehu Village Scenic Area over the past six months.
Our primary task at present is to recruit a professional to be responsible for landscape design, landscape creation, and the execution of scenic area projects.
On the morning of July 6, Chen Xihua drove back to the southern province alone.
Fourth sister Chen Xiuhua still didn't have time to go back this summer vacation, as she was pulled away by Professor Du, a mathematics professor, to do academic research.
Foreign Minister Huang wanted to find Chen Xiuhua, but couldn't.
Huang Zhixing was actually in a bit of a dilemma, as he felt he couldn't compete with the academicians.
But giving up would be a bit of a pity.
Chen Xiuhua has a great advantage in English translation and language talent, and can easily handle both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.
The next step is to focus on developing her negotiation skills.
In terms of negotiations, Minister Huang felt that Chen Xiaowu had particular potential.
It's a bit of a pity that the young girl didn't choose the English major; I heard she liked making money.
——
On the same day, at 7:30 a.m., Lu Zhengjing had already arrived downstairs at Jingxing Company. Just as he was about to go in, his phone rang.
"Good morning, Seventh Master Lu!"
Lu Zhengjing paused, seemingly stopping casually, then deliberately looked around, put his left hand in his pocket, and took out his phone with his right hand to answer a call.
"You told me to wait for you at the entrance of my company building early today, are you planning to come out and meet someone?"
"Hehe, Seventh Master Lu can't wait any longer, can he?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses said with a hint of pleasure.
"It's not that I'm impatient, it's that you're afraid of dying. Several months have passed, you're not trustworthy, and I don't intend to cooperate with you anymore. It's pointless!" Lu Zhengjing's voice revealed his anger and dissatisfaction.
It also implies that he already knows that the other party has been testing him during this period.
"Don't mind it, Master Lu. Today is the last time. It's up to you to choose."
At this moment, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was already in Yun City, Nan Province.
He happened to know that the Wang family, who used to be involved in the underworld in Yun City, seemed to be looking for other connections recently.
"Speak!" Lu Zhengjing had lost his patience and was even gritting his teeth.
"Seventh Master Lu, you should be at the entrance of your company building by now. I have people watching around here!"
Next, I'll tell you something, and it's up to you, Master Lu, to decide what to do.
If things go as I wish, we can meet in Yun City, Nan Province, three days from now!
Master Lu, listen carefully. I've found someone who has poisoned a Chen family pastry shop in Gaoyang County, Southern Province, which makes osmanthus cakes and water chestnut cakes.
Today is the exact date. My people just replied that the drug has been successfully administered.
In about half an hour, at eight o'clock sharp, that pastry shop will start selling pastries.
Master Lu, that pastry shop makes and sells over four hundred pastries every day. How many people do you think will get food poisoning?
The drug won't cause immediate poisoning and death, but it has a severe damaging effect on the liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs, and people generally won't live long.
Seventh Master Lu, do you want to call the police right now?
It's not even eight o'clock yet. If you can't bear to do it, there's still time; you can definitely stop it from happening.
The man's voice on the phone was ruthless and cold; he was determined to drag Lu Zhengjing down with him.
Moreover, we can use this incident to threaten Lu Zhengjing later.
That's the lives of hundreds of people. Even if each person eats two or three pieces of pastry, at least one or two hundred people would be poisoned.
"You...you really are ruthless, heartless, and inhuman!" Lu Zhengjing growled.
His breathing became heavier, and he made the kind of reaction a normal person would make upon hearing that.
If he doesn't care at all, it might make the other person suspicious.
"Haha... What's wrong, Seventh Master Lu, you've become soft-hearted and merciful?"
If you are not mentally prepared for this, then we don't need to meet in three days, and we really don't need to talk about cooperation anymore.
"Because, Mr. Lu, you don't seem like the kind of person who can achieve great things." The man on the phone said with a hint of disdain and a sneer.
"Give me ten minutes to think about it. You've already arranged for someone to watch my reaction if you make me stop at the door!"
"Do you want to see if I'll call the police right away?" Lu Zhengjing took two deep breaths and spoke cautiously and solemnly, "After all, I'm a member of the Lu family, and I have to consider the consequences of some things."
"Of course!" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses readily agreed.
If Lu Zhengjing agrees immediately, or reacts indifferently, then he will have to think about it more carefully.
At this moment, Lu Zhengjing was pacing back and forth, pondering what to choose. To passersby, he certainly looked very troubled.
Less than ten minutes later, a ruthless and resolute glint appeared in Lu Zhengjing's eyes as he said to the person on the phone, "It's settled then, see you in Yun City, Nan Province in three days."
"Very good, Master Lu. I wish us a pleasant cooperation. You can also check the news these next few days!" The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled knowingly.
He also meant to remind Lu Zhengjing that he would pay attention to how things developed after the drugging to ensure that Lu Zhengjing did not call the police.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhengjing checked the time; it was already eight o'clock.
He composed himself, and slowly and deliberately walked into the Jingxing Company building.
Fortunately, the lieutenant general overruled objections, was willing to bear the consequences, and launched Chen Xiaowu's plan.
Otherwise, his identity would be exposed this time.
Because if he hadn't been prepared beforehand, and only found out immediately that the person behind the poisoning had succeeded, he couldn't possibly not have called the police.
But everything he had done before would basically be in vain.
Actually, some time ago, I learned from the lieutenant general that the person behind the scenes was going to send someone to poison me.
Lu Zhengjing had also considered various countermeasures; stopping it was certain, but what about the follow-up…
He had analyzed the other party's purpose, wondering if it was to cause panic among all parties, or if it was a feint.
Even worse, it was simply a provocation against the military, an attempt to intimidate them!
Lu Zhengjing never expected that the other party was pointing a sword at him, but only to see his choice, verify his identity, and incidentally force him into a corner.
Upon further analysis, it is clear that the person was indeed cautious enough not to easily trust others; even the two trusted confidants who were captured did not know his true identity.
How could they possibly come out to meet me without any fear?
Of course, Lu Zhengjing also had his suspicions. Perhaps the other party intended to harm him during their meeting. Or perhaps that person had some special means, confident that they could capture him and then use that to blackmail and coerce the Lu family.
However, Lu Zhengjing was prepared for a life-or-death battle and vowed to take down that person no matter what.
As for Chen Xiaowu from the Chen family, that calm, wise, and perceptive young girl, she saved them a lot of trouble.
A few minutes later, Lu Zhengjing came up to the office and sat down in the chair.
He seemed lost in thought, his expression showing a distracted look.
Yang Shaoyan knocked lightly on the door a few times and called out twice before Lu Zhengjing came to his senses and let him in.
