Chapter 427 Poaching
After Chen Yang finished giving instructions to the intelligence department, he got up and left, heading towards Lantian Building.
Entering Lantian Building, Chen Yang whistled and took the elevator directly to Liu Ran's office.
Upon arriving at the office, Chen Yang found that Liu Ran was not there at all. He inquired and learned that Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiaomei were all busy with the Chuhan project.
It was clear that these women had made the Chuhan project their top priority.
Chen Yang could understand; after all, the Chuhan project was a 30 billion yuan development.
Now that the pre-sale permit had been obtained, it meant that during the sales period, if all went smoothly, 30 billion yuan would enter the company's accounts.
Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, realizing that a wife's eyes were only on money.
Chen Yang sighed with resignation, thinking that he had to protect Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company even more diligently.
Otherwise, when his wife finished with the property project and looked back, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company might be on the verge of collapse. She would surely be disappointed in him then.
Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company Research and Development Center.
It was approaching 5:30 PM, near closing time. Hundreds of researchers were packing up their equipment, preparing to leave for the day.
At this moment, everyone's phone simultaneously received a text message. They took out their phones and looked. It read: "Yang Group sincerely invites all elites to gather at Rihua Restaurant after work to discuss grand plans. Cars are prepared outside the company. We kindly request your presence."
Seeing the text message, everyone in the laboratory had their own thoughts. They immediately put their phones down.
Zhang Li was sitting in the R&D building's office, watching the surveillance footage of the R&D building. She observed everyone simultaneously taking out their phones, looking at them, and then putting them back. Zhang Li knew something was wrong.
After a moment of thought, Zhang Li immediately returned to the locker room, changed into ordinary clothes, put on a backpack, and returned to the R&D building.
As people left work, the individuals in the R&D building hurried out. Zhang Li, however, kept her eyes on a particular laboratory on the fifth floor.
This laboratory was dedicated to researching targeted cancer drugs. The head of this laboratory was named Li Hui.
Li Hui was fifty-nine years old, a renowned expert in the pharmaceutical industry, a super figure, and the overall head of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company's R&D center.
It could be said that Li Hui was responsible for at least half of the current success of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical's R&D center.
Zhang Li waited silently. As Chen Yang's executive secretary, Zhang Li felt it was her responsibility to maintain the company.
And now, with a clear problem emerging in the R&D center, she didn't know what solutions Chen Yang might have. Therefore, she had to do her utmost to help Chen Yang alleviate his difficulties.
Zhang Li was well aware that Professor Li Hui was the one person in the entire R&D center who absolutely could not afford to make a mistake. Therefore, she had to discreetly follow Professor Li Hui to prevent any accidents.
After about five minutes, Li Hui emerged, wearing simple sportswear and glasses.
Li Hui was not overweight; he had a round face. Although he was nearing sixty, he appeared very energetic.
Seeing Li Hui leaving work, Zhang Li also put on her backpack and followed Li Hui from behind. After all, Zhang Li's face was relatively unknown within Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company. Without her identification badge, no one would recognize her.
Upon reaching the ground floor, the R&D company staff exited the building. At this moment, Zhang Li frowned. She noticed that the entire square in front was filled with identical black Audi cars.
There were hundreds of them!
As the R&D center staff emerged, the doors of the Audi cars simultaneously opened. Drivers stepped out, wearing white gloves and looking very professional.
The drivers immediately invited the R&D center employees to get into the cars. Three people shared a car. As one car drove away, the cars behind it followed in sequence.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Li's eyelids twitched. She knew the situation was extremely serious. Zhang Li immediately took out her phone stealthily and took pictures of the scene. After considering, she sent the photos to Chen Yang.
At this point, Li Hui had already walked away. He paid no attention to the Audi cars.
Whether the R&D center staff chose to get into the cars or attend the banquet, Li Hui was not concerned at all.
These were business matters. For Li Hui, the most important thing was to complete the projects he was currently working on. As for other companies poaching his talent, Li Hui was also unfazed; he wouldn't leave.
Li Hui arrived at his car and prepared to open the door.
Just then, two female bodyguards in black clothing approached. They were both very beautiful. Flanking him on either side, they effectively sandwiched Li Hui between them.
The bodyguard on the left smiled at Li Hui and said, "Professor Li, hello. We are from Yang Group, and we are honored to invite you to a banquet today."
Li Hui frowned and then shook his head. "No need. I will not go. I don't know what you are up to, and I don't want to get involved. In short, I will not leave Tiancheng Pharmaceutical, and my team will not leave either. Please step aside."
The two female bodyguards simultaneously smiled. Their expressions were gentle, but they moved even closer to Li Hui. Smiling softly, they continued, "Professor Li, we know you have high moral character, understand your professional ethics, and know you want to make great contributions in the medical field and complete your current experiments. However, none of these things prevent you from attending this meal today."
"I presume Professor Li has been bothered a lot before. In fact, Professor Li, you don't need to resist so much. Today is just a simple meal. After eating and talking, if you still insist on your decision not to join Yang Group, then no one will bother you again. Don't you think this is a good solution?"
"Furthermore, the place is a large restaurant with many people coming and going, so it is very safe. Professor Li, you have absolutely no need to worry about personal safety."
Li Hui frowned, then let out a cold snort and said, "I believe you wouldn't dare. Alright, you've hit the nail on the head. Many people have already bothered me for the past two days. Fine, I'll go today. I want to see for myself who has such thick skin, and I'll make it clear that you're wasting your time on me."
Li Hui let out another cold snort.
Hearing Li Hui say this, the two female bodyguards both smiled. They immediately guided Li Hui to a Rolls-Royce parked nearby, one on each side.
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Zhang Li followed behind the car, her eyebrows knitting even tighter at this sight. She hadn't expected even the head of the R&D center, Professor Li, to be taken by the other party. This was intolerable!
Without time to think, Zhang Li quickly flagged down a taxi by the roadside. Getting in, Zhang Li immediately said to the driver, "Driver, follow that Rolls-Royce ahead. Don't get too close, and don't let them discover us."
After speaking, Zhang Li picked up her phone and sent another WeChat message to Chen Yang: "Mr. Chen, things are looking grim. Our R&D center's head, Professor Li, has also been poached by the other party."
"I am following them now and will report the situation to you in full detail. This time, the other party's scale is enormous, with over a hundred Audi cars deployed. They have taken almost everyone from the R&D center."
