Chapter 158 "I want to see you this week."
"good."
Fu Le hummed a song in a good mood as she fed the little prince the spirit fruit.
She finally landed the job as the top manager; things will be much easier from now on.
On his first day on the job, Qi Lianyu took away all the drivers who remained in the capital, just as Fu Le had predicted.
The company and all the necessary permits in Jinshi are basically in place. Once he arrives, he can directly purchase transport vehicles and begin his business.
Zhou Han arrived very quickly, on the third day after making the phone call.
When Zhou Han came in, he was wearing a handsome black wool coat over a black suit, and on his wrist was the high-end watch she had given him.
Tsk... Her subordinates, their demeanor and looks are all quite impressive.
"Boss," Zhou Han still called her.
"You're here." In the sunlight, the girl at the door was dazzlingly beautiful.
Zhou Han paused for a moment, lowered his eyelashes, and stopped looking at the blindingly white person.
"Come in."
Zhou Han carried his suitcase through the door and took in the entire interior.
"Let's eat first." Her right-hand woman couldn't go hungry.
For now, she can stay with Wang Li. She can also help him out. It's been several days since she taught him the incantation, but he hasn't even understood half of it. He doesn't even have any sense of qi, let alone any internal energy.
After finishing their meal and putting their luggage in the guest room, Zhou Han came out and saw Fu Le sitting on the sofa with a blood-red jade bracelet on the table.
What is this for?
"Zhou Han, I'm confirming this with you one last time. From now on, you'll listen to me."
"Yes," Zhou Han replied without hesitation.
Fu Le smiled with satisfaction, "The blood from the tip of my index finger dripped into the groove of the bracelet."
Zhou Han was stunned and completely confused, but he did as instructed. The next second, his blood disappeared without a trace in the groove, as if it had been absorbed. Then, the groove also disappeared.
Zhou Han: !!!
For the first time, he, who was usually reserved, showed his emotions outwardly, staring wide-eyed in shock. After a moment, he looked at Fu Le, hoping she would give him an explanation.
Then, he saw a book made of cloth appear out of thin air in Fu Le's hand, with the two ancient characters '地阶' written on it.
"This is a low-level cultivation technique for you to practice. This is a pill to strengthen your foundation. Take one pill a day on an empty stomach in the morning." Fu Le placed the booklet on the coffee table, then took out a silver ring and handed it to him. "Drip some blood on it and put it on. This will be your storage ring from now on. It won't fall off as long as you live, so protect it well." With her current cultivation level, she could forcefully sever the connection between the ring and him, but she didn't intend to say it aloud.
Zhou Han mechanically did as instructed. Then, he saw the ring absorb his blood again. After putting it on, he clearly felt that something seemed to have been added deep within his soul.
Fu Le once again demonstrated how to use the ring, "From now on, any new recruits will be under your command. Here, this is a spirit fruit, this is dried exotic beast meat, and this is a hemostatic pill, and this is..."
Wang Li watched as Fu Le gave Zhou Han dozens of small bottles filled with life-saving pills, without feeling the slightest bit jealous. Although he didn't have any, he had his boss. His boss said that wherever she was, he would be there too.
He had spiritual fruits, dried meat, and milk; he was quite content.
Fu Le also gave away the hidden blades; they were all life-saving items, and her people naturally needed them.
As expected, Zhou Han's abilities in all aspects far surpassed Wang Li's. Whether it was storing supplies or using hidden arrows, he could easily figure out the principles behind them.
Fu Le squinted his eyes in satisfaction. "Zhou Han, you go ahead and figure it out. I need to go get some sleep. I have class tomorrow."
That night, Zhou Han tossed and turned, finally understanding why Fu Le insisted on his absolute loyalty. Any one of the things she gave him today could shock the world, make all countries drool, and then she would become the target of everyone's hatred.
If discovered, there are only two possibilities: one is to be kept in captivity and become the country's most precious 'panda'; the other is to fight the whole world alone, to the death.
Given her personality, the latter is more likely.
Alas, the world has finally become unrecognizable.
Fu Le handed over Minyan Pharmaceutical to Zhou Han.
"Here's another ring for you. This one contains the medicinal herbs I collected from Yunnan Province. They're all inside. And this hemostatic powder..." Fu Le handed all the medicinal herbs he brought from Yunnan Province to Zhou Han, along with a hundred tons of beast blood to enhance the products. "These things can't be discussed publicly, so be discreet. Also, select a group of elites from the transport team to form a team. After training them, they can become the heads of various branch companies. You can make recommendations. Once you've dripped your blood on this Spirit-Locking Ring, there's no going back. If you have any disobedience, you'll surely die."
Zhou Han stared intently at Fu Le for a long while before nodding, finally understanding the function of the bracelet—like the legendary lie detector, it could distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
Where did she get this amazing thing? If she gave it to the country… At this thought, Zhou Han felt as if a hammer had struck his brainstem, causing him to faint from the pain.
Needless to say, that's the function of that bracelet—it has a very strong binding force.
Zhou Han groaned, his whole body covered in cold sweat.
A gaze fell steadily on him, and when he looked up, he met Fu Le's deep eyes.
"Don't think about things you shouldn't. Thinking too much will kill you. The Soul-Locking Ring won't give you a second chance," Fu Le said indifferently.
Although she cherishes talent, if that talent betrays her, then she will die.
“I didn’t think much about it. I was just thinking that if the country had something like this, maybe we wouldn’t have lost so many secrets.” Zhou Han knew that Fu Le was unhappy, so he couldn’t let it continue to exist.
Upon hearing this, Fu Le's expression softened considerably.
“I understand your thoughts, but no, there’s only one of these in the whole world. Don’t worry, I will not betray the country, and I will help the country’s development in my own way. Minyan Pharmaceutical is just the beginning.”
"good."
In the time that followed, Fu Le devoted himself entirely to his studies.
The news of Wu Long's betrayal, which was about to be unsealed at the Moon Charm branch factory, quickly reached Qin Feng's ears, which angered him so much that he smashed his office to pieces once again.
"Lu Shi!! How the hell did you do that?!"
Xinxiang Cosmetics Company quickly launched a seven-piece skincare set, all of which are whitening products that are very good for the skin. Although they are slower to take effect, they are much cheaper than Yuemei and have a longer shelf life, making them suitable for ordinary people.
Upon seeing these messages, Qin Feng immediately knew that Wu Long, that scoundrel, had directly sided with Yue Mei. He was furious and wanted to kill him, but was powerless to do anything about it. De City was already Yue Mei's territory; it was already a favor that they weren't suppressing him.
"I'm not answering Wu Long's calls anymore!!"
"Yes, Mr. Qin." The secretary barely dared to breathe.
Unbeknownst to them, the market customers within the city were divided into three levels: high, medium, and low, and each level was taken care of by Yue Mei and Wu Long.
Moon Charm's Pearl Series, Rose Series, and Rice Series have all become luxury items in the public eye. Even though they are very expensive, many beauty-loving women still flock to them, saving up for several months' salary just to buy a few bottles. Who can blame them when the effects are truly good? Most importantly, they don't cause rebound effects.
The product, known for its beautiful face and lustrous appearance, quietly withdrew from the market without causing a major uproar, because a replacement had already been found.
Capital Military Region.
"Commander, the second batch of military rations has been delivered to various military regions, and the feedback has been very good. Moreover, after tracking and testing, without exception, the physical condition of the soldiers who ate this kind of military ration during field training has improved, and it is an all-round improvement in physical functions. The data of those who did not eat it are also increasing, but not too far from the previous data. The comparison is very clear."
"If the third test report comes out and there are no problems, we'll send a copy to country M for the fourth and fifth tests."
"yes."
"Does the commander suspect that there are harmful substances in these military rations?"
"No, that's not it. I'm just curious about what kind of additives could be so perfectly suited to the human body's needs, even addressing its weaknesses. Besides, doesn't that girl's long-term partner, Lu Shi, own a company called Minyan Pharmaceutical? The ointment from that company was recommended to Zou Zhiguo and his team by that girl. The effects are undeniable, and the price is very low. From all this, both Lu Shi and Fu Le can be considered to have impeccable credentials."
“Our investigation revealed that some of their materials required special additions, and each day a different person in charge would leave last. So, I think it was this last person in charge who was adding some special substances. Actually, sir, if you are really curious, just bring Fu Le over for questioning. She personally owns shares in Shiweitian.”
"Hey, no need. That little girl, although she's a bit strange, everything she's doing so far is helping the military. We shouldn't interfere too much, lest we hurt her feelings. Let's observe first. If we can't find anything, let's put it aside. That little girl's true colors will eventually be revealed. It seems she has quite the ambition now. If she has any difficulties, help her as much as possible within reasonable limits and without violating principles, understand?"
"Yes. But above..."
"They covered it up at all costs."
"yes."
...
The news that the trunk transportation company was looking for all-round management talent spread like wildfire. This recruitment was nationwide, and the recruitment advertisements were broadcast through television, radio, and newspapers. Regardless of background, only ability and personal character were considered.
The welfare policies offered by the government have attracted many ambitious people, and some talented individuals have even taken leave to apply for jobs there, thinking that they will resign immediately once they are hired.
The interview will be held at the Jinshi branch.
The interview process consists of three steps. The first step is to mail or fax your resume. Only those who pass the written screening will have a phone interview. After the phone interview, the second step is to have an in-person interview at the company's address. The third step is a psychological test, and in addition, there is a background check.
Background checks are of utmost importance; once passed, one can become a full-time employee without a probationary period.
Because of this benefit policy that makes one a full-time employee upon joining, the dissatisfaction of the interviewees has faded, and those with problems naturally back down.
The administrative department of the Jinshi branch has more than 20 employees. They are so busy every day that they don't even have time to eat or drink, but they don't complain. Why? Because they get five times the overtime pay, which is too much, so they have no reason to complain.
...
"Lele, your dad has arrived in the capital and is staying in Guozhuang. He said he wants to visit you at school. So I gave him your phone number. Lele, don't be angry with your dad. That's just his personality. Your grandparents couldn't handle him before. He still wanted to do things well, but he was unlucky. There were too many treacherous people around him, and he trusted others too easily." Qi Hua's voice came from the other end of the phone.
When did you arrive?
"It's been several days since he arrived, and he only called me today." Qi Hua was furious when she talked about Lao Fu, but she knew her daughter didn't like hearing her complaints, so she held back.
Do you have his phone number?
"Yes, I'll send it to you."
She received the number half an hour after hanging up the phone; her mother was still not very skilled at sending text messages.
In her past life, during her freshman year of college, her father had already secured several projects, the kind that relied on empty promises and deception. This was also part of Lao Fu's abilities—a genius salesman. However, he was never willing to be subordinate to anyone, yet he lacked the ability to control the overall situation. Therefore, whoever trusted him was often the one who suffered.
However, this life is different. She went to university a year early, and Lao Fu's project should still be under negotiation at this moment.
Guozhuang.
In the small teahouse, Old Fu, dressed in a wrinkled suit, was engrossed in playing cards at the table.
If life were to start over, Lao Fu's trajectory wouldn't change much. Heaven truly favored him; after countless ups and downs, he was given another chance in his old age. However, this was the last time; after failing, he would be gone.
Fu Le sat in the car, looking through the window at Old Fu's unkempt appearance and the way he stared at the cards, his eyes almost bulging out.
Old Fu didn't keep her waiting too long in the end. Before long, he had lost all the money he didn't have, stood up, got off the table, and left.
Fu Le got out of the car and followed behind Old Fu. Finally, she returned to that familiar courtyard, the place where she had lived in her previous life. Two families lived there.
When she arrived at the door, she saw Lao Fu take out his secondhand candybar phone and make a call. The next second, her phone rang.
It's Lao Fu.
Fu Le picked up the phone without saying a word. Old Fu's chuckled voice came from the other end, "Lele, it's Daddy..."
She used to be unable to detect the guilt in his words.
"Dad." A thousand words were ultimately reduced to a single word.
Fu Le stood in the corner, watching as Old Fu wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and then spoke again, "Lele, Dad has come to the capital, but Dad is very busy. There are several big projects waiting for Dad to do. In a few days, Dad will go to the school to see you..." Old Fu talked to himself for a long time with a smile, and Fu Le would occasionally chime in to let him continue.
The father and daughter talked for half an hour before Old Fu's call suddenly ended. There was only one reason: he ran out of credit.
Old Fu dejectedly stuffed his phone into his pocket, then listlessly opened the wooden gate to the courtyard and went inside.
Fu Le turned and went to a telecommunications service center behind the courtyard. "I'll recharge 1,000 yuan."
The salesperson exclaimed, "Huh? How much?" He almost thought he had misheard.
