After everyone left, Chen Dekai quickly cupped his fists, "Mr. Lu, your esteemed presence here, it is truly a great honor to have you visit."
"Spare me the pleasantries," Lu Fan glanced at him. "You've got quite the nerve, still daring to swindle people out in the open."
"It's just a way to make a living," Chen Dekai said with a wry smile. "If I didn't have to fend for myself, I wouldn't be here deceiving people."
"I don't believe your nonsense," Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "If you truly wish to turn over a new leaf, I can help you!"
"If Mr. Lu can help me overcome this difficulty, you will be my reborn parents!" Chen Dekai hurriedly bowed. "From now on, I will follow Mr. Lu's lead without question."
"Stop with the polite talk," Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "Come to my company tomorrow and start working."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Chen Dekai's face lit up with joy.
Lin Ke was baffled. She hadn't expected this Chen Banxian to know Lu Fan. Even more surprising to her was that this Chen Banxian was a fraud and knew nothing about fortune-telling.
After they left, Lin Ke asked, "Brother Lu Fan, does he really not know fortune-telling?"
"Of course not. He's just a charlatan," Lu Fan said with a slight smile. "Unless you were looking to have him read your fortune?"
"I originally wanted to ask about my love life, but alas..." Lin Ke chuckled sheepishly.
"Love life?" Lu Fan's expression was peculiar. "Could it be you've taken a liking to someone?"
"This..." Lin Ke's face flushed, and she said no more, quickly heading towards her sports car.
Having spent so many days together, coupled with Lu Fan's meticulous care, she had grown very fond of him but was too shy to express it.
Lu Fan also put on a show of being proper, but how could he not see Lin Ke's feelings?
At the same time, at Yang's Pharmaceutical Company, Yang Jiaqi frowned. Shortly after, a woman entered from outside, holding a document. "Ms. Yang, what do you need me for?"
"Have you investigated thoroughly? Who is behind Tai Kang Pharmaceutical Company!" Yang Jiaqi felt a sense of unease. Lu Fan's words at the car dealership had made her suspicious.
"We only know the person behind it is surnamed Lu. As for who exactly, the company is still investigating," the woman replied quickly.
"Is your work efficiency this low?" Yang Jiaqi said coldly. "Tai Kang Pharmaceutical's Yangxin Dan is covering the market in Qingzhou. It won't be long before it occupies the core market share of Yang's enterprise. You should know what major events will follow!"
The woman stood by the side, not daring to speak carelessly. She was merely a secretary, but she was curious. The person behind Tai Kang Pharmaceutical was too mysteriously hidden. Through various means, she couldn't discover the true identity of the person behind Tai Kang Pharmaceutical.
As they were talking, an old man entered the office, leaning on his cane, his expression somewhat displeased.
"Grandpa, why have you come personally?" Yang Jiaqi was slightly startled. "Leave the company matters to me to handle. You should be enjoying your retirement at home."
"Hmph!" Yang Ding Tian snorted. "Tai Kang Pharmaceutical has recently gained great fame. Their sales data has already surpassed Yang's enterprise. What kind of vice president are you?"
"Grandpa, it was just a momentary lapse on my part," Yang Jiaqi said quickly. "I've already lowered the selling price of Yang's health products. I believe it won't be long before Tai Kang Pharmaceutical's Yangxin Dan is no longer dominating the market."
"Foolish, you are truly foolish!" Yang Ding Tian shook his head. "Yangxin Dan has excellent efficacy. As the person in charge of Yang's Pharmaceutical Company, you don't even know this. How can I be at ease handing the entire Yang family over to you?"
"This..." Yang Jiaqi frowned, not knowing what to do. Tai Kang Pharmaceutical's actions were too swift, catching him off guard.
"Grandpa, what should I do next? This Yangxin Dan is so effective..."
"Reach an agreement with Tai Kang Pharmaceutical to jointly sell Yangxin Dan. As long as Yang's enterprise agrees to reduce the profit-sharing ratio, they will not refuse," Yang Ding Tian said. "This way, it will be mutually beneficial."
"Then Yang's will become their agent!" Yang Jiaqi frowned. "What kind of existence is my Yang's enterprise? How can we be subservient to others?"
"By cooperating with Tai Kang Pharmaceutical, after some time, when the sales of Yangxin Dan remain high, Tai Kang Pharmaceutical will be unable to produce enough. At that time, Yang's Pharmaceutical can take over. As long as we obtain the formula, my Yang's Pharmaceutical is bound to have a bright future," Yang Ding Tian smiled. "Now do you understand my intention?"
"As expected, old ginger is spicier!" Yang Jiaqi also smiled. "So that's what Grandpa meant."
"Hurry and prepare!" Yang Ding Tian rolled his eyes. "I will personally go to Tai Kang Pharmaceutical. They should give me some face. After you negotiate and sign this contract, you must manage it well."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will absolutely not disappoint you," Yang Jiaqi nodded repeatedly. He wanted to say something but hesitated. For some reason, he always had a feeling that the person behind Tai Kang Pharmaceutical had a significant connection with Lu Fan.
Meanwhile, by the West Lake, Lu Fan and Lin Ke had already left. Lin Ke drove, taking Lu Fan towards Tianfu Villa.
However, as they were about to cross a bridge, Lu Fan frowned, seemingly sensing danger.
"Speed up, drive carefully!" Lu Fan warned.
Lin Ke was somewhat surprised but did not hesitate, quickly accelerating. In that instant, a large truck suddenly crashed into them from behind. Perhaps misjudging the distance, it directly rammed into the bridge's guardrail. If Lin Ke hadn't accelerated just then, they would have been destroyed along with their car.
Looking at the scene in the rearview mirror, Lin Ke's eyes widened in panic. "Brother Lu Fan, what's going on?"
"I don't know. Perhaps someone wants to harm us!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly. "But this trick is too simple. With such meager means, they can't harm me in the slightest."
Lin Ke rolled her eyes. She knew Lu Fan was capable, but it had truly been dangerous just now. She didn't want Lu Fan to be in danger all the time.
"Brother Lu Fan, promise me, don't take risks anymore, and don't offend these people," Lin Ke said earnestly. "Although I don't know who these people are, they are definitely not good people."
"Don't worry, I'll be more careful," Lu Fan smiled, his expression turning cold. He had seen clearly in the car that a vehicle not far away had been tailing them. It was likely a pre-planned move, and Shen Wei was in that car.
Inside Tianfu Villa, Granny Guihua had prepared dinner and was waiting outside the villa, her face appearing somewhat weathered.
A car drove up, its headlights quite dazzling. Lin Ke and Lu Fan stepped out of the car.
Looking at the luxury car, Granny Guihua also showed a wry smile. "Xiao Fan, you can't be too good to Lin Ke. This car is probably not cheap."
