"Old Zhao, do you know Liren Pharmaceuticals?" In his office at Haitian Entertainment, Wang Tianfu called his business partner to ask.
"What Liren Pharmaceuticals? The one that sells underwear? What's up, bro?"
"Oh, you don't know? It's okay. My company wants to change its name. I think 'Liren Yaoye' sounds pretty good. I'm looking to see if there are any other companies in the industry with similar names. I'll ask you."
"Brother, you're talking nonsense again. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"Okay." Wang Tianfu hung up the phone. This was the seventh call he had made today. Of those seven calls, six were unaware of Liren Pharmaceutical's existence, and the other had a slight recollection of it. His background check also showed that Liren Pharmaceutical was founded by two young people, had little reputation, and was only popular on short videos and in certain parts of Beijing.
"May Lord Guan help me achieve my goal!" He stood up, bowed to Lord Guan several times, and then lit some incense. That's right, this old man had his eye on Liren Pharmaceutical. The product quality was so good, and the leaders were just two brats. In Wang Tianfu's eyes, it was a piece of fat meat delivered to his mouth by heaven, which he could easily seize in no time.
This was the 126th time Wang Tianfu had coveted other people's property. Before this, he had robbed many times, even people, including but not limited to other people's wives, cars, houses, and companies. Why did he like to rob? First, it stemmed from his businessman's nature, and second, from his tragic experiences in his youth.
"Xiao Li, check if we have any partners who deal in medicinal herbs or cosmetics, and contact them." Wang Tianfu knew that Liren Pharmaceutical's products were made from traditional Chinese medicine, and he also knew how powerful they were. If he didn't take them over now, they would be out of the picture once they developed. So he stepped up his efforts to contact partners and confidants, preparing to cut off Liren Pharmaceutical's means of survival through raw materials and other means.
As winter break approached, Xu Chen rarely visited the pharmaceutical factory, focusing instead on helping Wang Li prepare for her final exams. The failure rate at Peking University was extremely high; there were even cases of top students who couldn't handle the pressure and started giving up, resulting in their expulsion. This instilled fear in Wang Li. Thus, Xu Chen, who was thoroughly familiar with the material and had nothing else to do, naturally became Wang Li's study supervisor.
It was very late that day. Wang Li and Xu Chen came out of the library, almost the last ones to leave. "Lili, look." Xu Chen held up the WeChat Wallet interface, and Wang Li started counting the number of digits, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands." The total number of more than 600,000 dazzled Wang Li. "Chenchen, did the pharmaceutical company earn this?" Xu Chen nodded.
"Once everything is on track, we'll see if Fatty is still willing to continue running the business. If not, we'll hire a professional manager. It won't affect our lives," Xu Chen promised Wang Li.
"Okay, Chenchen, I believe you. How about we go out for a nice meal today? I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's go get some barbecue, let's go all out." Xu Chen patted his chest, Wang Li rolled her eyes at him, and the two walked towards the barbecue restaurant. As soon as they sat down inside, Xu Chen heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and glanced over, only to find two energetic young men. "I feel like I've seen them somewhere before." Xu Chen only glanced at them and didn't think much of it, ordering his late-night snack.
"Those guys at the next table are really rich, they ordered so much food." Fatty Tiger was chatting with Er Gou across from him when he heard a man and a woman at the next table holding a menu, saying, "This and that, a few portions of this and that, pack them up and send them to this address, the two of us can eat the rest."
"Who cares how rich he is? Finish this cigarette and get on with your business." Er Gou overheard the extravagant ordering across the street, but didn't care. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and was about to leave. Unfortunately, Pang Hu's next words sealed their fate.
"I don't know which company this Xiaoqing works for. After she was rescued by those two men last time, she seemed to have disappeared."
"He must still be in the capital. I trust the boss's judgment." The thought of Xiaoqing made Er Gou's eyes gleam with lust, making him look exactly like a lecherous wolf in human form.
"Chenchen, are they talking about you and Xiao Qin?" Wang Li poked Xu Chen's arm with her chopsticks and asked softly. Xu Chen nodded, "It should be me."
"Find that woman quickly. Boss almost got killed last time, but luckily he managed to get away with it by pretending to be tough. We need to vent our anger on this woman."
"The boss is smart too. He knew the brothers couldn't beat him, so he pretended to recruit them and diverted their attention. That was a brilliant move. The boss is indeed the boss."
The two of them spoke in hushed tones about a private matter, which Wang Li could only vaguely hear, but Xu Chen heard everything. "Looks like these two are here to kidnap Xiao Qing. I finally did something good, how can I let you embarrass me?" Xu Chen thought to himself.
After paying the bill, Fatty Tiger and Er Gou left the barbecue restaurant. Of course, they habitually took a few extra items, much to the owner's chagrin. Seeing this, Xu Chen immediately locked onto the restaurant with his divine sense and then leisurely began eating his barbecue.
"Chenchen, aren't we going to chase after them?"
"Hurry up and finish eating. After I take you home, I'll go find them. We have to take them all down today, otherwise it's really annoying."
Upon hearing this, Wang Li sped up her cooking and then returned home with Xu Chen as quickly as possible.
"Fat Tiger, where are we going now?"
"I don't know. Let's find a park to spend the night in and look for something again tomorrow morning."
"You're not even staying in guesthouses anymore?"
"Nonsense, you have money, you know that the gang's funds were all swindled away by those two damn bastards."
"It's pitiful. Back in the day, the owners of any entertainment club in the capital would give us face. We could sleep with three or four girls at the same time. Now we've been reduced to sleeping on the streets."
"Don't say anymore, I'm about to cry."
Xu Chen, who had left home and followed behind them, couldn't help but smile as he listened to the two's conversation. After the two found a bench and lay down, Xu Chen suddenly appeared.
"You...aren't you the guy who used sorcery the other day?" Because of the park streetlights, Fatty Tiger quickly recognized Xu Chen, because he had a very deep impression of Xu Chen.
"It's me. I heard you were looking for me?"
"Oh dear, how could we dare to approach you, sir? Boss, you must have misunderstood." Er Gou hurriedly begged for forgiveness.
"Enough with the small talk. Follow me, and I'll guarantee you a life of luxury. How about it? Think it over?"
Er Gou and Pang Hu exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "Is this guy a bit dim-witted? Should we hang out with him?" They both fell silent.
"What, you disagree? Fine, but don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Alright, brother, it's your decision. We agree."
