"You know about Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Lin Yanran curiously.
Lin Yanran crossed her arms, pushing her chest up high with pride as she spoke.
"You forgot what I do, haven’t you? I’m familiar with every big and small pharmaceutical factory in the province. Before coming to Qingshan Town, I had researched everything about the county’s medical and pharmaceutical industry. To tell you the truth, I even looked at Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory’s financial statements. It’s a loss-making enterprise, a dead weight. Whoever buys it is a total sucker."
"Zhang Xiaoshan, don’t be impulsive."
"After all, we’re friends, and I can’t just stand by and watch you jump into a pit of fire."
Zhang Xiaoshan gave Lin Yanran a disdainful look.
"You’re the real sucker here. Do I look stupid to you?"
"I definitely have my reasons for buying Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory."
"The reason Hui Nong is losing money now is due to insufficient orders. Your Lin family is a major enterprise, right? Show some pity and give me a few orders."
"With orders, how could we not make money?"
"Oh, you sly dog, so that’s what you’ve been waiting for."
"Is this your third condition?" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel※fire.net
"I want your Lin family to give Hui Nong Medicine Factory a billion-dollar order every year."
"A billion-dollar order?"
"It’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but right now, Hui Nong’s production capacity is quite modest. The machinery is outdated; even if I gave you the orders, you couldn’t fulfill them."
"If there’s money to be made, won’t we buy new equipment?"
"Well then, I’ll pass this request to my grandfather and try to make it happen."
"Alright, those are my three demands. As long as you can meet them, I’ll give you the Red Sun Grass immediately."
"Fine, let’s not delay. I’ll make a trip home and discuss this with you when I return."
After finalizing their negotiation, Lin Yanran headed for her home far away in the provincial capital.
Once the money was in hand, there would be no problem for Zhang Xiaoshan to acquire Hui Nong Medicine Factory.
As he neared the mountain, Zhang Xiaoshan’s phone rang.
He picked it up and looked.
It was a message from Luo Meili.
"I’m fine, don’t worry, I’ll be back in a few days."
Zhang Xiaoshan called Luo Meili back.
But it went straight to voicemail.
"What’s up with Sister Meili, acting so unusually?"
Zhang Xiaoshan felt anxious.
"When I get back to the village, I need to subtly probe Jia Lanhua a bit."
An hour later, he returned to White Dragon Village.
Just as he entered the village,
he heard the sound of gongs and drums.
The village also had many white banners hanging around.
It seemed like a funeral was being conducted.
"I didn’t hear about anyone being seriously ill. Did someone from the Wu family’s old generation pass away?"
"But didn’t I see him looking quite hearty just a few days ago?"
Zhang Xiaoshan returned home with some confusion.
His sister-in-law and Shen Xinhe were in the courtyard, playing with Little White.
In just a few days, Little White had grown significantly bigger,
already the size of a full-grown farm dog.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, he excitedly ran over to him.
Zhang Xiaoshan pulled out a roast chicken from his backpack and handed it to Little White, who immediately began tearing into it with excitement.
"Giggle giggle giggle."
Zhang Xiaoshan laughed.
At the same time, he casually asked Yu Xiuxiu,
"Sister-in-law, who died in the village? It looks like there’s a funeral going on."
Yu Xiuxiu hesitated, not answering Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Yu Xiuxiu.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling alright? You look quite pale."
"It’s Little Ru’s mom who passed away."
Yu Xiuxiu’s response was like a thunderbolt, shocking Zhang Xiaoshan half to death, turning his face pale.
