Their minds were focused on one thought: could Lin Feng really be the King of Mercenaries?
Especially when they recalled the figure in the armored vehicle, which bore a striking resemblance to Lin Feng, and the fact that Zhong Jiaheng fainted upon seeing him.
All signs pointed to Lin Feng possibly being that person!
"Xiao Lin, don't scare your mother. What's going on? Could you really be that... Wolf?"
Xue Jingru gulped, her entire being unsettled.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Lin Feng replied with a feigned smile of ignorance.
Xia Xue, knowing Lin Feng wished to keep his identity hidden, covered for him. "Mom and Dad, you're overthinking it. How could Lin Feng be the King of Mercenaries? He's so young, and his build doesn't look like a soldier's at all!"
"That's true! Then your cousin really has lost his mind and is having hallucinations!"
Xue Jingru and the others finally relaxed.
"Oh dear, what are we going to do? How did he suddenly become unwell? How will your father and I live now!"
Xue Jingmei began to wail again.
"Let's stop talking and send the child to the mental hospital. Don't embarrass us here!"
Zhong Kaishan felt he couldn't stay at Xue Jingru's house any longer. He said this and contacted a transport vehicle for the mental hospital.
Before Zhong Jiaheng was put into the vehicle, Lin Feng, worried that Zhong Jiaheng might blab, called Zhang Jianye and asked him to contact Zhong Jiaheng, reminding him that his identity was a top secret and must not be revealed to anyone.
After finishing this, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something: Tang Wan had asked him to write out the prescription and deliver it today, but he had forgotten.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng hurriedly bid farewell to Xia Xue and drove to Sheng Tang Group.
At this moment, in the chairman's office of Sheng Tang Group.
Tang Wan sat in the boss's chair, her expression solemn, her brows furrowed.
Opposite her sat Professor Lu Qingyun from the Provincial City University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Lu Qingyun was not widely known in the medical field, but he was extremely famous in the business world.
Over the decades, Lu Qingyun had developed several beauty and health products that had become popular nationwide.
Products like "Brain Gold" and "Hong Kou."
These once immensely popular health and beauty products were all the brainchild of Lu Qingyun.
As a result, Lu Qingyun had accumulated unimaginable wealth over the years.
Originally, Tang Wan had intended to bring Lu Qingyun in as an investor to help Sheng Tang Group develop a medicinal facial mask.
But now, she realized it was far simpler than she had imagined. Lu Qingyun's appetite was enormous, and the conditions he proposed were beyond her ability to afford.
"Ms. Tang, since we've said all that needs to be said, if you think it's acceptable, I'll join. If you think it's not, then our negotiation ends today!"
A proud arc formed on Lu Qingyun's lips. The young woman beside him also wore an expression of disdain.
"Ms. Tang, I advise you to consider carefully. You know my grandfather's strength and status. The outside world could form a line stretching overseas to hire my grandfather as a chief consultant."
"It is your honor that my grandfather has taken an interest in your company's Qiang Jin Zhuang Gu Dan formula. If it weren't for this formula, you wouldn't even have the qualification to speak with my grandfather!"
The woman looked down at Tang Wan with a very assertive stance. Although the woman was only in her early twenties, she showed no timidity facing Tang Wan, who was known as a business powerhouse.
Her name was Lu Jingzhe, Lu Qingyun's most beloved granddaughter and a renowned beauty in the provincial city.
In terms of appearance, Lu Jingzhe was no less than Liu Mengyao and others.
In terms of talent, Lu Jingzhe was a famous genius student from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At only twenty-two years old, her thesis had won a gold medal at an international medical competition.
Simply put, Lu Jingzhe had the confidence to look down on everyone and a family background that was not inferior to anyone.
Tang Wan smiled, having met many arrogant girls: "Little sister Jingzhe, you've said something wrong. It's not that I, Tang Wan, am begging you to invest. I am merely offering you an opportunity for mutual benefit."
"Whether your grandfather agrees to join my company or not is entirely unimportant to me."
"On the contrary, you are very interested in our company's Qiang Jin Zhuang Gu Dan formula!"
"Now, it is we who should be setting the conditions, not you. Understand?"
Tang Wan's sharp gaze and aloof demeanor caught Lu Jingzhe and Lu Qingyun completely off guard.
"Ms. Tang, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'giving us an opportunity'? I don't understand," Lu Qingyun found it amusing.
"Because our Sheng Tang Group is not lacking in talent, nor in divine doctors!"
"The Qiang Jin Zhuang Gu Dan was developed by our group's chief divine doctor. While you see it as a miraculous medicine, in our eyes, this formula is not that valuable!"
"As long as we wish, we can develop more drugs with such remarkable effects."
Tang Wan spoke with full confidence, backed by Lin Feng, she feared no one.
However, Lu Qingyun and Lu Jingzhe saw these words as Tang Wan's pretense and bluff.
"Ms. Tang, you have quite a large mouth. Since you don't lack divine doctors, why did you approach my grandfather?"
"You also said the Qiang Jin Zhuang Gu Dan isn't valuable in your eyes. If you're so capable, then why don't you develop your own medicinal facial masks!"
Lu Jingzhe smiled faintly, not in a hurry to fall out with Tang Wan.
After all, their purpose for this trip was to obtain the Qiang Jin Zhuang Gu Dan formula.
They had been focusing on this formula for a long time but could never decipher its true essence.
Tang Wan's brows furrowed slightly, surprised that Lu Jingzhe, at such a young age, had learned to blackmail. She didn't necessarily need Lu Qingyun to join.
However, she didn't want to place too great a burden on Lin Feng.
With an experienced professor like Lu Qingyun as a consultant, the company could entirely avoid Lin Feng's worries in the future.
After all, Lin Feng had already helped her more than enough, and she truly had no reason to continue relying on and exploiting him.
Thinking this, Tang Wan began to hesitate.
Lu Jingzhe, sensing Tang Wan's hesitation, seized the opportunity. "Ms. Tang, as I said before, give us the Qiang Jin Zhuang Gu Dan formula, and then give us half of Sheng Tang Group's shares, and my grandfather will agree to join your company."
"Furthermore, I must remind you of one thing: my grandfather has already developed a medicinal facial mask with very good results."
"If you agree now, this medicinal facial mask will belong to Sheng Tang Group, and with my grandfather's name attached, this product is guaranteed to sell very well."
Tang Wan shook her head. "Half the shares is definitely not possible, but I can give you the formula."
"Then there's nothing to discuss. Without half the shares, my grandfather will not work for you!"
Lu Jingzhe sneered, holding the initiative firmly.
"If there's nothing to discuss, then let's not discuss it. We gave you an opportunity, and you're still being so arrogant. Do you really think you're the boss?"
Just as Tang Wan was becoming flustered, Lin Feng walked in with a smile.
His words caused Lu Jingzhe and Lu Qingyun to frown involuntarily.
They cast their gazes, tinged with displeasure, towards Lin Feng!
"Where did this young man come from? Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders? You have no manners!"
Lu Qingyun reprimanded him with great dissatisfaction.
Lu Jingzhe's eyes were also filled with disgust. Never before had anyone dared to disrespect her grandfather like this!
