Li Se, I am now someone you cannot afford to associate with, and I don't have time to deal with you. If you see me outside, don't say you've met me. I'm going to visit the owner of Villa Number One. Do you know what kind of existence that is? It's something you'll never reach in this lifetime!" After saying this, Yu Zhidie bypassed Li Se, having no intention of continuing the conversation.
Li Se was taken aback. Villa Number One in Qingshui Bay was where he was currently living. He watched Yu Zhidie and the others head towards his villa, a strange expression on his face. She was mocking and looking down on him, yet she was going to visit him?
As for returning to the villa and showing off in front of Yu Zhidie, that was not Li Se's style, nor was it necessary to flaunt anything in front of this woman. He quickly left Qingshui Bay.
At the entrance of Villa Number One.
Yu Zhidie, to show her sincerity, personally went to ring the doorbell. However, after a long while, there was no response, which greatly annoyed her. "Are they not home?"
"They're probably not home, Zhidie. Why don't we return to our own residences first?" her agent suggested.
"No, let's wait a little longer," Yu Zhidie shook her head. "I specifically inquired, and the owner of Villa Number One is a very powerful figure. It's said that the real estate tycoon Boss Shang personally gifted him the villa. Someone that Boss Shang wants to curry favor with… waiting for a while is not a problem. If I can get in with this connection, hmph, if he helps me a little on my career path, I'll surely soar to the top!"
Even though she was a big star now, she hadn't had any good works recently, and her acting skills were constantly criticized. Therefore, she felt she needed a patron.
"This time, when I come to Qingyun City, besides trying to get in with the owner of this villa, I also need to meet a divine doctor. He might be able to cure my illness," Yu Zhidie murmured.
"The divine doctor who can bring the dead back to life?" her agent hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhidie, this is all hearsay. How can anyone really bring the dead back to life?"
"I can't go to the hospital for this illness, so I can only find traditional Chinese medicine practitioners," Yu Zhidie said with a pained expression. If she went to a major hospital, people would definitely find out about her condition, and it would be the headline news the next day.
"By the way, Zhidie, there's someone else we need to meet," her agent said.
"Who?" Yu Zhidie asked.
Her agent replied, "The boss of Yuanfeng Group. This group wasn't much before, but now they've developed two medicines that are selling very well in Qingyun City and will eventually expand beyond Qingyun City. I've investigated, and many large corporations in other regions want to cooperate with Yuanfeng Group. This means it's only a matter of time before these two medicines go global. Therefore, you must secure the endorsements for these two medicines. Take advantage of the fact that they haven't expanded beyond Qingyun City yet and get these endorsements!"
Yu Zhidie nodded, "Yes, they probably need a big star like me right now. You go contact them and arrange a meeting."
"Alright!" her agent nodded.
"By the way, don't forget to mention the conditions!" Yu Zhidie instructed. After all, she was a big star, and her worth was considerable. Even if Yuanfeng Pharmaceuticals was going to go global eventually, it hadn't happened yet, right?
"Don't you trust me with my work?" her agent smiled.
They waited there for another hour, but no one returned. Yu Zhidie's legs were aching from standing, and she finally decided to go back.
When Li Se left Qingshui Bay, he had already received a call from Zhang Aimin, so he headed directly to Yuanfeng Group.
"Did something happen?" As soon as Li Se entered the office, he pulled Zhang Aimin onto his lap, his hands also becoming restless.
Zhang Aimin let out a soft hum and then said irritably, "It's broad daylight, and I didn't call you here for this. Something has happened at the pharmaceutical factory."
"What happened?" Li Se hadn't expected anything to happen at the factory.
"People have been coming to the factory to cause trouble for the past two days. At first, I thought they were just local thugs trying to extort protection money, so I had security drive them away. But they didn't give up and even injured quite a few of our factory workers. I suspect the situation is not that simple," Zhang Aimin said with a serious expression.
"Let's go to the factory!" Li Se also felt that things were not that simple.
He had intended to have some intimate moments, but now it seemed he had to go to the factory first. The two of them arrived at the factory together, and coincidentally, that group of thugs also arrived at that moment, beating up the security guards at the entrance. This time, there were many thugs, and the security guards were struggling to cope.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Aimin shouted angrily.
"Oh, Ms. Zhang, what a coincidence you're here!" The leader of the thugs looked at Zhang Aimin brazenly, the desire in his eyes clearly evident.
"Call the police!" Seeing the security guards injured, Zhang Aimin immediately instructed an employee.
"Call the police? Brother Xiong isn't afraid of that!" the leading thug said with disdain. Even if Zhang Aimin called the police, he would just lead his men away. Even if he was caught, he wouldn't be locked up for long.
"What do you want?" Li Se asked him.
"Who are you? Is it your place to speak here?" Brother Xiong said dismissively.
Zhang Aimin said coldly, "He's the boss. Do you think he has the right to speak?"
"Oh, so you're the boss? You're quite young." Brother Xiong was somewhat surprised. Then he didn't hide his intentions. "It's very simple. The Zhongheng Pharmaceutical behind me wants to acquire your shares. The price we're offering is not low, fifty million. As long as you're willing to sell, I guarantee we won't bother you again. But if you refuse to sell, then your factory can stop production!"
"Zhongheng Pharmaceutical?" Li Se had never heard of this company. "How come I haven't heard of it?"
"Of course, you haven't heard of it. This is a large company from the capital. Selling shares to Zhongheng Pharmaceutical would bring you many benefits. We're not acquiring all of it, just fifty percent of your shares!" Brother Xiong said smugly.
With the backing of a capital family, he had the confidence to handle things.
"A company from the capital?" Li Se narrowed his eyes. "Has the capital extended its reach to Qingyun City?"
"It has, so what can you do?" Brother Xiong was incredibly arrogant. "It's better to obediently take the money and sell the shares, otherwise, you won't be able to produce your hemostatic and analgesic drugs. Even if you call the police today and we get arrested, we won't be locked up for long. Even if we are imprisoned for a while, thousands upon thousands of me will come to cause trouble!"
*Snap!*
Brother Xiong snapped his fingers.
Immediately, a subordinate handed over a document.
Brother Xiong took the document and threw it at Li Se, "This is a share transfer agreement. Sign it!"
