The next morning, Xiao Weiguo and Jiao Bai packed their luggage and headed to the provincial capital again.
Sitting in the car, Xiao Weiguo's eyes were fixed on the scenery rushing past outside, but his mind was racing.
He couldn't stop foreign investment from entering the domestic market. The Chinese economy truly needs a large influx of powerful foreign capital to revitalize the current market and comprehensively drive economic development.
However, as a domestic company, if it wants to avoid being targeted and swallowed up by foreign capital, it must stop the actions of this Ais company.
This requires him to confront the entire economic environment as an individual, but if he wants to go further, he must win this battle; there is no turning back.
Thinking about this, Xiao Weiguo felt a little heavy-hearted, mainly because he knew too little about this Aisi Company and had no idea where to start.
The car traveled for nearly four hours, and it was almost 11 a.m. when we arrived in Jiaonan City.
"Go directly to the Chemical Engineering Research Institute."
Xiao Weiguo gave instructions to Jiao Bai.
Feng Wanlin hadn't finished get off work yet at this time, so Xiao Weiguo's first task was to find her and get a clearer understanding of the specific situation.
The car drove through the city and soon arrived near the chemical research institute.
Xiao Weiguo got out of the car, found a public phone, and called Feng Wanlin.
Feng Wanlin was indeed at work, and the two agreed to meet at the entrance of the research institute after get off work.
Xiao Weiguo and Jiao Bai strolled around the neighborhood for a bit. It was almost midnight when Jiao Bai drove the car to the main gate of the research institute.
As the get off work bell rang, the professionals from the research institute gradually walked out of the courtyard.
Xiao Weiguo stood by the roadside, and soon saw Feng Wanlin carrying a small bag, looking around for him.
"This way."
Xiao Weiguo greeted them loudly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Wanlin quickly ran over.
I hadn't seen her for a few months, and she seemed to have lost some weight. She still had her hair in a high ponytail and looked very cool.
"Defend the country!"
She waved and stopped opposite Xiao Weiguo.
"Sister Lin, it's been a long time. You're still as beautiful as ever."
When the two met again, there was no awkwardness between them; they greeted each other with smiles.
"Let's go, Sister Lin. I'll treat you to lunch. We still need to talk about the chemical fiber business."
Zhuang Wanlin didn't say much, but opened the car door as instructed and got into the Crown car with Xiao Weiguo.
Now was not the time to be particular, so they found a relatively clean restaurant nearby, booked a private room, and sat down.
Xiao Weiguo handed the menu to Feng Wanlin so she could order, while he took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Give me one."
Across the table, Feng Wanlin pointed to the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes in front of Xiao Weiguo.
"They smoke this kind of thing now?"
Xiao Weiguo remembered that she used to smoke an imported women's cigarette.
"I was in a rush and forgot to bring cigarettes. My addiction is getting worse and worse, haha."
She took a cigarette from the pack Xiao Weiguo threw to her, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke from her red lips.
She looked up, her eyes vacant as she gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
Xiao Weiguo looked at her and felt that Feng Wanlin seemed to have something on her mind. He wondered what had happened to her in the past few months since they last met.
As a friend, Xiao Weiguo really wanted to ask if he could offer her some comfort.
But thinking of Liu Ye and what she had said, Xiao Weiguo held back.
His relationship with Feng Wanlin can only be that of friends; Xiao Weiguo is not a person without principles in this regard.
After a moment of silence with his head down, Xiao Weiguo spoke to Feng Wanlin while the dishes were still being served.
"Sister Lin, I'm here today because of the chemical fiber issue. This matter concerns the life and death of our company, and I hope you can do your best to help me."
Upon hearing this, Feng Wanlin sat up straight and leaned on the table to ask him.
"Oh, is it that serious?"
When their research institute received a testing request from Ais Company, Feng Wanlin only vaguely sensed that it might be related to the clothing industry, which is why she called Xiao Weiguo. As a research staff member, his business acumen wasn't particularly sharp, and it's understandable that he didn't grasp the key point.
Xiao Weiguo patiently explained to Feng Wanlin the future impact of chemical fibers on the domestic market and the foreseeable impact on the garment industry.
Feng Wanlin became increasingly alarmed as she listened, finally realizing the importance of the matter.
"Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"
She owns 5% of Panlong Group, making her a major shareholder. Even with such a small company last year, she received over a million yuan, a considerable sum for a junior researcher like herself.
Moreover, she does need money right now, and the interests of Panlong Group are closely related to hers.
Another point is that, for some reason, she always wanted to do her best to help with Xiao Weiguo's matter.
"Sister Lin, how long has it been since Ais Company sent the materials for testing? When will the test report be available?"
Feng Wanlin thought for a moment and then answered.
“The materials were delivered two days ago. I called you as soon as I got the news. According to the normal procedure, the report should be ready in a week at most, and then they can start production.”
"However, someone is urging us to release these materials. If nothing unexpected happens, the report should be ready in five days at most."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo frowned deeply.
According to Feng Wanlin, he has at most five days left.
