The call was connected quickly, and Lu Anning felt a little relieved when he heard Gu Yu's voice.
"Brother, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
"No, we just left the hotel and are planning to go check out the processing line today. Yu Hui's company is reliable. I saw some of the herbs yesterday, and they're all very good. Some have already reached the standards for our laboratory research and development, and they were all collected from farmers."
Hearing this, Lu Anning finally felt relieved.
"With what you said, I can rest assured. Zhong Ling didn't reply to my message last night, and I was worried that Heisei's progress was not going smoothly."
"There doesn't seem to be any problem at the moment. I'll take a closer look at you. Just stay home and take care of yourself. I'll come back to see you when I get back. It's my fault that Zhong Ling didn't reply to the message. I didn't want to disturb you and the baby's rest."
"Second brother, I'm not that delicate now."
"A woman's pregnancy is a big deal, don't take it lightly. Second brother is a doctor, how could he not know? You have to remember that the most important thing is to stay in a good mood and not let your mind wander, okay? We'll take care of everything else, you don't need to worry about anything right now."
"Then what can I do?"
"Do whatever you want. You don't need to worry about anything here. Do something that makes you happy, relax, read a book, anything is fine."
On the phone, Gu Yu reminded many things to pay attention to before hanging up.
Lu Anning looked at the black screen of her phone and could only smile helplessly. Everyone was taking care of her so much, weren't they afraid of spoiling her?
Things in Pingcheng went even more smoothly than Lu Anning had imagined. Gu Yu and his team spent a week in Pingcheng, carefully inspecting the company. After confirming they were a safe partner, he immediately had Zhong Ling draft a contract. Lu Anning authorized Zhong Ling to sign a one-year contract in Pingcheng. The contract immediately returned all the medicinal herbs Gu had loaned, and the quality was in no way inferior to what Gu's own herbal medicine fields could produce.
Gu Yue and Zhong Ling watched with their own eyes as the medicinal materials were loaded onto trucks and shipped to Kyoto before they set off back to Kyoto.
At this time, Lu Anning finally felt relieved.
The problem with the medicinal material supplier was solved, the crisis facing the company was temporarily averted, and the trouble with his eldest brother was also resolved. Everything went smoothly, which was worth celebrating. Of course, the person who should be thanked the most this time was Yu Hui. If it weren't for her help in making the connection, Lu Anning might still be worried about the medicinal material supplier issue.
To thank Yu Hui, Lu Anning invited her to dinner as soon as she returned to Kyoto, and also brought her the exclusive agency rights for the new drug that had been agreed upon.
I have to admit that Yu Hui is quite capable. If you give her some time, her future achievements will definitely not be low.
In the hotel room, Lu Anning raised his glass, using juice instead of wine, to express his sincere gratitude to Yu Hui for her help. Yu Hui was humble and did not become proud of this.
"Mr. Lu, if you hadn't given me the opportunity, I don't know where I would be right now. Let's not say the word 'thank you' between us, it seems distant."
"You and Zhong Ling have worked hard on this trip to Pingcheng. This is the exclusive agency rights for the new drug that I promised you before. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, we will sign it."
Yu Hui took the contract with both hands, and was stunned when she saw a supplementary agreement attached to the end of the contract.
"Mr. Lu, this supplementary agreement..."
"I know you've had a hard time in the Yu family. The commission, as I said before, is for the Yu family. As for the supplementary agreement, I gave it to you separately. Keep it safe. Girls, you should keep some money for yourself so that you won't be easily taken advantage of. Do you understand?"
Yu Hui's mother had an accident, and her father was a scumbag. Her current situation in the Yu family couldn't be good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have changed so much just because she was busy. Obviously, she was treated badly in the Yu family. Even the clothes she wore were the same one or two pieces every time she was seen. It was obvious that she was just keeping up appearances.
Yu Hui held the contract and didn't know what to say to Lu An Ning for a moment.
"Don't say anything. Just work hard and let me make more money. That's the greatest reward you can give me."
Yu Hui nodded repeatedly, and the meal was relaxed and enjoyable.
After Yu Hui left, Lu An Ning looked back at Zhong Ling beside him and remained silent for a long time. Zhong Ling felt uncomfortable being looked at by Lu An Ning, and she thought she had not wiped her face clean after dinner.
"Mr. Lu, is there something dirty on my face? You're looking at me like that!"
Lu Anning sighed softly, suddenly opened his arms and hugged Zhong Ling. Zhong Ling stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.
"Mr. Lu..."
"You've been with me for so long and have been helping me with things. Don't you have anything you want?"
Zhong Ling realized it belatedly, "Mr. Lu, isn't everything I have now given to me by you? Otherwise, I would still be a small clerk in Jiangcheng, and I wouldn't have the opportunity to broaden my horizons with you. You've created me into who I am today. I have nothing but gratitude for you, not any extravagant expectations."
"You've made great efforts, and these are the rewards you deserve. How can you say it's an extravagant expectation? Now that I'm pregnant, I definitely can't take care of the company's affairs like before."
"It's okay! Mr. Lu, I'm here. I can run errands for you. Just tell me what you want to do and I'll do it for you."
"So you'll just keep running errands for me? Zhong Ling, have you ever thought about taking the top job one day?"
These words frightened Zhong Ling. She quickly waved her hands and said, "Mr. Lu, I have never had such thoughts. I am just an employee. How could I..."
"I didn't before, but now you can think about it. I know your ability to get things done, and I trust you even more. I've thought about it for a long time these past few days, and I'm very relieved to leave the company to you and the two vice presidents. I'll support you in becoming the company's vice president with 5% of the shares, and you'll be in charge of the company's daily affairs for me. Zhong Ling, do you dare to take it?"
Lu Anning looked serious, not joking at all, and Zhong Ling hesitated.
"I?"
"Don't you have confidence in yourself? I brought you up, and you're capable of handling things on your own. Didn't you say you wanted to have your own little home in Kyoto? This is a great opportunity!"
Zhong Ling did not reply to Lu An Ning immediately. Lu An Ning smiled and stuffed the prepared agreement into Zhong Ling's arms.
"Go back and think about it carefully. Give me an answer as soon as you have made up your mind."
Five percent of the shares, considering Haitian's market value, was a considerable sum. Zhong Ling was stunned for a long time. Especially since this agreement represented the bright future that Lu Anning had arranged for her.
"Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid that I might develop other ideas? What if I become ambitious? Without someone to restrain me, people's ambitions will be infinitely magnified."
Lu Anning smiled confidently: "I know you are not that kind of person. Don't make me wait too long!"
