Chapter 157 Xu Hua (Supplement 4)
Chapter 157 Xu Hua (Supplement 4)
Tian Zhenzhen, holding an umbrella, walked towards the dormitory with someone, one in front of the other.
The road was soaked by the rain, and the cold wind, carrying the rain, hit the umbrella, adding to the chill.
Maeda Makoto was the most afraid of the cold; her hands and feet were often icy cold in winter.
After taking the basic gene-enhancing drug, she never felt cold again after winter began.
This research center is fully equipped and can meet all living needs.
The two arrived at the dormitory building and then went to a room on the second floor.
The accommodations here are quite nice, well-decorated and fully furnished, even more exquisite than the interior design of most homes.
"Boss, please come in."
Tian Zhenzhen walked in and found the room to be very tidy.
"Your name is Xu Hua, right?" Although Xu Hua was very ordinary and didn't leave much of a impression.
But Tian Zhenzhen had seen these people's information after all, and her memory was amazing. She still had some impression of him, which was why she was able to call him by name directly.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to remember my name, boss. Please have a seat, I'll get you a cup of tea."
"No need to be so polite, just find the book for me."
"Then please wait a moment."
After Xu Hua finished speaking, he went straight back to the bedroom, while Tian Zhenzhen looked around the living room.
It wasn't as dirty and messy as she had imagined; it was very clean, even somewhat monotonous.
There are few signs of life left, except for the green plants on the balcony, which look like they are growing well and have clearly been taken care of.
Tian Zhenzhen came to the balcony and was surprised to see so many flowers there even in winter.
When Xu Hua came out with the book, he saw Tian Zhenzhen's slender white fingers caressing the petals. The contrast between the white and red colors made her delicate fingers look as beautiful as white jade, making it hard to look away.
Before Xu Hua could take a few more glances, Tian Zhenzhen withdrew her hand and her gaze fell on the book Xu Hua had given her.
"Is this the book?"
"Yes, this is an ancient travelogue, which contains descriptions of exotic flowers and plants."
"Okay, I'll take this book with me. I'll get it back for you when I'm done using it."
Tian Zhenzhen did not stay here for long. After leaving the research center, Tian Daqiang returned to her side.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Tian Zhenzhen had only asked a simple question, but she didn't expect to receive such a pleasant surprise.
"That Xu Hua has very vigorous blood and qi in his body, just like the grandmaster we encountered before."
“It’s him.” Tian Zhenzhen touched the book in her hand, not expecting that such an ordinary person would have such strength.
She doesn't look that old!
"Could he also be a member of the Shadow Organization?" She hadn't heard from the Shadow Organization for a long time since Yu Cheng'an disappeared.
She's now eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Shadow Organization, as her subsequent research and development requires a large number of rare and precious materials.
She was quite curious about where the fruit was picked. Even with her current network of connections, she couldn't find out. It seemed the world was far more complicated than she had imagined.
"No, the martial artists of the Shadow Organization are different from ordinary martial artists; their blood and qi are extremely abundant." Tian Daqiang has a scanning function that allows him to easily distinguish between ordinary martial artists and those trained by the Shadow Organization.
"Not a member of the Shadow Organization?" Tian Zhenzhen was genuinely curious about his identity.
Perhaps this ancient book was deliberately delivered to her today. How interesting.
As the car drove on, Tian Zhenzhen arrived at the accommodation that Xu Tianlan had prepared for her, which was a six-star hotel.
After Tian Zhenzhen checked into the hotel and rested for a while, Xu Tianlan came over to have lunch with her.
"Boss, I'm so sorry, I've been extremely busy lately and haven't been able to pick you up from the airport."
Xu Tianlan apologized as soon as she arrived, and Tian Zhenzhen dared not complain to her. She had heard Xu Tianlan complain about her quite often. Hehe, the capable are always given more work.
If they refuse, does she have to intervene personally?
"You've worked so hard. I ordered some of your favorite dishes. Is that enough? If you'd like to order something else, you can order some more."
Tian Zhenzhen was very thoughtful and had already ordered the food.
"Boss, you're so kind. This is enough. These are all my favorite foods. I'm really hungry now."
The two didn't say anything after that, until they were full.
Even during mealtimes, Xu Tianlan's phone rang several times.
However, seeing how at ease she was, Tian Zhenzhen felt that finding Xu Tianlan was the best move she ever made.
She found a good helper, and Xu Tianlan was able to break free from the shackles of the Xu family and find her own stage for her career.
"The day after tomorrow is the launch event for the Zhengfeng chip. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
You don't know that Yu Jingshan came to see me a few days ago, trying to poach Team Leader Pan and others.
In the end, only Bai Lecheng went with him. The two of them had contacted each other many times in private. I have saved all of these communications. I will send him in when the time comes.
I've been making sure Team Leader Pan doesn't reveal the truth to Bai Lecheng.
"Didn't you see how smug he looked? Before he left, he even wished he could stomp on my feet a couple of times."
I really can't wait to see their press conference any second now.
Xu Tianlan spoke simply, but Tian Zhenzhen could already picture Yu Jingshan's smug face.
"It's alright, he won't be able to keep this up for long."
"I thought so too. You're really something, boss. But we've waited so long, and the day to close the net has finally come." Xu Tianlan became more and more excited as she spoke, and her appetite increased. She even ate an extra bowl of rice at noon.
"By the way, tomorrow is the bidding conference for the Chuangshengyuan distributor. It's being held at this hotel, so you should definitely come and take a look."
At this point, Xu Tianlan revealed a sly smile. In order to make it impossible for Tian Zhenzhen to refuse, she cleverly let her stay here directly.
"Alright, but I don't want to show my face, so you'll have to host it."
Tian Zhenzhen wasn't very interested, but since there were a lot of people coming, she might be able to get some tasks. She rarely had the chance to get tasks at school.
"There's also a large jade auction in Myanmar at the end of the year, and Baoruitang is also going to get a new batch of goods. You mentioned before that we would let you know about the jade purchase, but I don't know if you have time?"
"What is the exact time?" Tian Zhenzhen certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity; after all, she had the superpower of X-ray vision.
Don't be fooled by how valuable the jewelry she gave to the Hu family is; it can easily be worth hundreds of millions.
But if you really calculate the cost, it doesn't cost much. The most important thing is that she has a pair of eyes that can spot treasures.
"The time will be around December 25th."
"That shouldn't be a problem. Just contact me in advance."
After discussing some matters, Xu Tianlan hurriedly left again.
Tian Zhenzhen went back to her room and took a nap. After waking up, she started looking through the ancient books that Xu Hua had given her.
There is indeed a record of dewdrop grass above. According to the book, dewdrop grass is a kind of magical herb that can only be found in remote places when the sun rises.
The text also includes a detailed description of the Dewdrop Grass and its medicinal properties, which are recorded in great detail.
It is said to be able to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. The story tells of how the protagonist, through persistent searching, finally found the Dewdrop Grass and brought it back to save lives and cure diseases.
Seeing the location recorded in the travelogue, Tian Zhenzhen became quite interested. She wondered if she could have the same kind of adventure as the protagonist if she went to look for it.
Tian Zhenzhen spent the night reading. The next day, at the bidding meeting, Tian Zhenzhen didn't dawdle and arrived at the site early.
The grand drug distribution bidding event held by Chuangshengyuan Biotechnology Company is also a means for Xu Tianlan to reorganize the company. Only by controlling sales can she truly control the company.
Xu Tianlan had arranged a meeting for the company's senior executives early in the morning. Xu Tianlan was already quite assertive as a strong woman.
However, influenced by the Xu family's patriarchal tradition, she couldn't show off too much, lest she incur the ire of the old folks in the family.
But once she arrived in Haishi, she was like a wild horse, galloping freely in this vast expanse of sky.
Despite her young age, her series of reforms after taking over the creation of the student body caught the previous veterans off guard.
They quickly gained firm control over the production aspect.
"In this bidding process, our company seeks fairness and impartiality, which also reflects our company's public image."
"I don't care what happened before, from the moment I entered Creation Source, you must follow my rules."
After Xu Tianlan finished speaking, her gaze swept over everyone, creating a sense of oppression.
Many people didn't dare to look up at her, and of course, there were also those who looked down on her.
"Chairman Xu, don't worry, all our departments will cooperate fully for today's bidding meeting and will not let you down," General Manager Pang said first.
Upon hearing him speak, many people echoed his sentiments.
"Chairman Xu, don't worry. With General Manager Pang here, we'll definitely make today's bidding meeting a great success."
"Yes, in the past, it was General Manager Pang who managed the agents' affairs, and there were never any mistakes. With him around, what do you have to worry about?"
Mr. Pang only needed to say one sentence, and several people immediately echoed his sentiments.
The question is why Xu Tianlan didn't fire all these people when she took over Chuangshengyuan.
Firstly, I still don't know much about the company, and secondly, I'm afraid it will affect the company's normal operations.
Now that she has a certain understanding of Chuangshengyuan, it's time to deal with these people. Today's bidding meeting is a trap she set.
"Since everyone thinks so highly of President Pang," Xu Tianlan paused, looking at President Pang.
He wore a fake smile and appeared very respectful, but a closer look revealed the smugness and arrogance hidden in his eyes.
Even if there's a new boss, so what? At Chuangshengyuan, we still have to cater to his whims.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Pang." Xu Tianlan finished speaking.
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, this is what we should do."
The meeting then discussed a few more matters, after which Xu Tianlan and her people left first.
After the person left, a large group of people gathered around Boss Pang. These people were in the same boat as him and were already bound by interests. It wasn't something that could be changed just because a new boss came along.
"President Pang really has influence; even a little girl like her dares to ride roughshod over us."
"Sooner or later we'll make her realize that without President Pang's support, she's nothing in the company."
"I must say, Xu Tianlan is quite good-looking. With her face and figure, it would be great if we could make her completely belong to our CEO Pang. Only then can everyone be at ease."
"Then we'll have to see how charming and capable our CEO Pang is."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just an employee of Chairman Xu."
"We absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake at today's bidding meeting; someone is waiting for us to make one." President Pang stopped everyone from joking around; he could guess a thing or two about Xu Tianlan's methods.
However, finding something to use against him is not so easy.
"Yes, we definitely won't make a mistake."
An invisible war has quietly begun.
Tian Zhenzhen arrived at the bidding meeting. There were quite a few people there to participate in the competition, most of whom were there for the new drug.
There is more than one agent; they are divided into seven regions for bidding.
Tian Zhenzhen took a cup of tea from the table where guests were being served and found a seat.
She arrived quite early, and many more people followed her there.
They were all dressed in formal attire; they were clearly business people.
Tian Zhenzhen played on her phone for a while, and when she looked up, she actually saw a familiar face.
This person was none other than Gu Lin, whom I had met at the Regal Club before.
She is an artist under the Brilliant Galaxy label. She was dressed very beautifully today, with a young man by her side, standing there like a vase.
Perhaps it was Tian Zhenzhen's scrutiny that made her notice something, and soon the two locked eyes.
Gu Lin felt like she'd been caught red-handed by her parents.
Her feelings for Tian Zhenzhen were complicated. Although Tian Zhenzhen hadn't specifically targeted Manager Gou, there were many people in the public eye who would discriminate based on who they were dealing with.
Knowing that Gu Lin had offended the new boss, there were plenty of people who would make things difficult for her.
Gu Lin's resources were quickly snatched away, and she was relegated to the sidelines at the company.
Gu Lin had considered terminating her contract with Brilliant Galaxy, but as her fame declined, no company was willing to pay her compensation.
She was never as good as Qin Xuan before, and now there is a huge gap between them. Her experiences over the past few months have made her temper much milder.
Upon seeing her boss, Tian Zhenzhen, she naturally went up to greet her. If she could gain Tian Zhenzhen's understanding, she might be able to change her current situation at the company.
She had thought about apologizing before, but she never actually met with her.
"Young Master Han, I saw an acquaintance and would like to go and say hello to her."
Gu Lin spoke gently to the young man beside her.
She followed Han Shao in the hopes that he would invest in her and make her the third female lead in a new drama.
In the past, she didn't have to fight for these kinds of roles; the company would arrange them for her, and she could choose whatever she wanted.
The company's resources are obviously much better now, but she can't get any of them.
"Go ahead." Han Shao still cared about Gu Lin quite a bit and didn't make things difficult for her.
With Han Shao's permission, Gu Lin walked toward where Tian Zhenzhen was.
Approaching Tian Zhenzhen, she obediently greeted, "Boss."
Tian Zhenzhen glanced at her and nodded.
She didn't care about company affairs, and she didn't have any particular liking or dislike for Gu Lin.
She had thought that Gu Lin would leave on her own after her cold response, but she underestimated her own power.
"Boss, you're also participating in the bidding for Chuangshengyuan?"
"I have nothing to do with Han Shao. I was just accompanying him to social events, and he invested in me for the third female lead role in a TV series." Gu Lin said, glancing cautiously at Tian Zhenzhen.
Tian Zhenzhen frowned slightly upon hearing her words.
