Lu An Ning was about to say no, but the sarcastic looks of the three deans appeared in his mind, and he swallowed the words back.
If such people are really not clean, it would be better to teach them a lesson to prevent them from getting ahead and forgetting their own importance.
Seeing that Lu An Ning didn't say anything, Zhou Yao immediately understood what she meant. He immediately called his subordinates in front of everyone and ordered them to get the job done, leaving no chance for Tang Jingyuan and Fang Le.
"It's a rare opportunity for me to show off, Third Brother, you must give me this chance."
Tang Jingyuan responded, "Regarding the idea you mentioned last time, give me a detailed plan in a few days and I will seriously consider it."
Zhou Yao's eyes lit up: "Third brother, if you do this, I will have to investigate carefully."
Lu Anning wasn't surprised. The three of them were close friends, and when it came to making money, they would always bring everyone along. Tang Jingyuan usually made the final decision, though. Eighty percent of the time, Zhou Yao had his eye on a profitable project and was ready to get Tang Jingyuan involved.
Fang Le suddenly remembered something: "Third brother, I heard that the Gong family you mentioned before has been making some big moves recently. They started with private acquisitions, but now they're blatant. However, the companies they're involved in aren't in our field, but mostly pharmaceutical companies that produce Western medicine. I heard that this guy is quite extravagant despite being so young."
"The Gong family has made enough money abroad and wants to come back to make a comeback. We can't stop them. But I'm afraid those families who attacked the Gong family back then will have trouble sleeping now."
"Do you know who attacked the Gong family back then?"
Tang Jingyuan smiled and placed the brewed tea in front of her.
"I know you're worried about the Gu family, so I asked Lin Tao to investigate. Don't worry! Even if your father-in-law just stood by and didn't help, if Gong Ming wants to settle the score, it won't be the Gu family's fault. At most, there will be some conflicts in the future due to different positions. After all, we are competing in the same industry. I believe that big brother can handle it and it won't affect you."
"Actually, sister-in-law, the clinic is about to open, and it will definitely be very busy. Why don't you just establish a stable partnership with the clinic and supply medicine exclusively to them? Add in other orders, and I think that will be enough. If you really want to make it bigger and stronger, wouldn't that mean you're taking food from our family?"
Actually, Lu Anning had considered this question before. However, she still wanted to see the actual demand for the clinic after it opened before making a decision.
Anyway, her eldest brother had told her that Haitian wasn't too big or too small, so she shouldn't feel too much pressure managing it herself. Even if there were losses, she could just consider it as a way to pass the time. However, Lu Anning felt that since she had taken over, she should strive to make the company better.
"So, I can just lie down and relax?"
Fang Le laughed: "Sister-in-law, given your current situation, if you continue to fight internally, how will others survive? If you work so hard, it will seem like Third Brother can't support you."
Lu Anning was stunned and rolled his eyes.
"That's still different! Anyway, you have to be serious. Whether you can get rich depends on your fate."
Lu Anning was a latecomer and she didn't expect to make Haitian a top pharmaceutical company. She would be satisfied if she could make a little progress.
A delicious meal of venison, along with Lu Anning's favorite seafood, helped to dispel her unhappiness. By the end of the meal, she was slightly drunk and was carried upstairs by Tang Jingyuan. She accidentally saw the invitation on the table and opened it out of curiosity. It turned out to be an invitation from the Gong family.
"Gong Ming invites you to a cocktail party?"
"The Gong family is back, so he has to show off and let everyone in the circle see it. Besides, he also wants to cooperate with me."
Lu Anning narrowed his eyes slightly and grabbed Tang Jingyuan's collar with both hands.
"He stole three of my clients, and you want to work with him? You have no idea how arrogant he was tonight. Traditional Chinese medicine is ridiculed as being effective like one antibiotic. He's deliberately humiliating me."
Lu An Ning was still angry. Now that she was alone, she no longer hid her emotions.
Tang Jingyuan smiled and gently kissed her forehead to calm her down.
"Ningning, don't you think you're acting a little impulsively right now?"
"I acted impulsively?"
"If our mother wasn't a Chinese medicine practitioner, would you still have such a big reaction?"
Lu Anning stayed where she was. When she was in Jiangcheng, she didn't seem to care which was better, Chinese medicine or Western medicine.
"We tend to go to the hospital when we're sick, but we wouldn't go straight to a Chinese medicine doctor for minor ailments. It's just that now that you've come into contact with them, you subconsciously protect the people around you, including their expertise. Chinese medicine is certainly good, but I think Western medicine has its place in today's society. We're not from the academic world, so there's no need to get too serious about academic issues. This is really not something you and I can change! Even my mother can't do it."
Unless one day everyone in the country is proficient in medical skills, perhaps there will no longer be a market for Western medicine.
Or perhaps the two will reach a certain degree of balance and coexist. This will take time to verify and is not something that those in the game can easily influence.
"But they are doing it for their own selfish interests."
"You and I are powerless to change anything unless you can reach the top of the industry, making clouds and rain with a wave of your hand. Have you forgotten? Only the strong can truly control the right to speak."
However, even the current Gu family cannot reach that status.
"I've said it before, this is a long road, we have to work hard and keep a calm mindset."
Lu An Ning lost her temper and collapsed on the bed. At her age and temperament, wouldn't it be difficult for her to remain calm?
Lu Anning did not respond, and the topic of academics ended there.
Maybe she is too childish!
Lu Anning hadn't wanted to attend the banquet with Tang Jingyuan, but the next day, the same invitation arrived. News about Gong Ming popped up on her computer screen. As the executive vice president of the Gong Group, he had returned to China to acquire a pharmaceutical company. Facing reporters' questions, he made no secret of his purpose.
"The domestic pharmaceutical industry needs to be rectified. Eliminate unnecessary ones and acquire valuable ones. This is the only way to truly solve the problem. The Gong family is back."
Under the camera, those almond-shaped eyes did not conceal their unique aggressiveness at all, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Anning closed the news page and his eyes wandered to the invitation. The banquet hadn't even begun, but the media were already scrambling to report on it. Was the Gong family's high profile really just a warning?
Or, she should go and see what Gong Ming is trying to do.
Having made up her mind, she took a photo of the invitation letter she had received and showed it to Tang Jingyuan: "I'll go join in the fun on Saturday."
