Good Daughter!

"The Provincial Department cars are here!" A voice came from the crowd.

Everyone looked toward the entrance. Three commercial vehicles drove into the factory grounds and stopped at the intersection, and a group of people emerged from the three cars.

Xu Shuwei and Sun Zhongyong accompanied the municipal leader's secretary, who had arrived a few steps earlier, to jointly receive several provincial leaders.

Chen Mengchuan pulled Zhao Wanyu along as he slowly moved up behind Xu Shuwei and the others.

A large group of people quickly converged, with photographers and videographers from China's official media surrounding the group to capture photos and videos.

Xu Shuwei's performance far exceeded Chen Mengchuan's expectations. His stage presence was exceptional—truly living up to his experience honed in a multi-billion-dollar listed company. Whether interacting with leaders or introducing the Tianzhi factory and Dawn 1.0, he handled everything with ease. Combined with his prosperous appearance and the halo of being the Number One Person of Qinghua, the group chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Not only that, but Xu Shuwei also intentionally or unintentionally steered some topics toward Sun Zhongyong, quickly allowing Sun Zhongyong to step into his role as well.

The group toured the factory buildings, assembly line workshops, shipping areas, and logistics distribution zones. The group of leaders had nothing but praise, encouraging everyone to strengthen their awareness of innovation and entrepreneurship, boldly undertake ventures, and run enterprises with dedication to bring glory to China and Jiangsu Province, and boldly send products out into the world to make a global impact.

After offering their encouragement, the group soon returned to the municipal offices. As for matters concerning subsequent cooperation, Xu Shuwei politely declined all of them, pushing the timeline entirely past tomorrow's press conference.

"This inspection tour by the bigwigs from the Provincial Department carries profound meaning." Lin Qiyi stood beside Zhao Qinghua and spoke slowly.

Zhao Qinghua's brow furrowed slightly as he pondered something deep within his heart.

"Old Zhao, you've raised a good daughter." Lin Qiyi finally patted Zhao Qinghua's shoulder and left Tianzhi Electronics.

Looking left and right without seeing his daughter, Zhao Qinghua fished out his mobile phone and made a call.

Zhao Wanyu, standing at the entrance of Tianzhi Electronics Factory, answered her father's call. "Dad, where are you?"

Once Zhao Qinghua learned that his daughter was at the entrance, he walked over.

Upon reaching the entrance, Zhao Qinghua saw his daughter. Aside from Chen Mengchuan, she was standing with a group of people from Tianzhi Electronics Factory, including Xu Shuwei and Sun Zhongyong.

Sun Zhongyong's past business had involved cooperation with Yuehua Real Estate, and he had met Zhao Qinghua on several occasions. Seeing Zhao Qinghua walk over, he warmly stepped forward.

"Manager Zhao, the hospitality was a bit lacking today. I wonder if Manager Zhao might have some free time—we have a matter we'd like to ask Manager Zhao for a favor with," Sun Zhongyong said with a smile.

"Manager Sun is too polite. If there's anything this Zhao can help with, you might as well spell it out."

Sun Zhongyong smilingly invited Zhao Qinghua into the office inside the factory.

Once inside the office, everyone took their seats. Sun Zhongyong handed a folder to Zhao Wanyu.

"Wanyu, you'd better explain this yourself."

Zhao Qinghua looked at his daughter in slight astonishment, somewhat surprised by how familiar Sun Zhongyong was with her.

"Dad, we're colleagues. I'm currently also at Tianzhi, serving as Mengchuan's secretary." Zhao Wanyu smiled.

Zhao Qinghua turned his gaze back to Chen Mengchuan.

"Mengchuan is the founder of Tianzhi." Zhao Wanyu weighed her choice of words.

"It turns out I was blind..." Zhao Qinghua suppressed his shock, instantly understanding Lin Qiyi's actions in the parking lot and what he had said to him.

Chen Mengchuan smiled, displaying his quiet side.

"Dad, take a look at this material. The plot of land on the west side of Tianzhi Electronics Factory is currently in the hands of Yuehua Real Estate. We want to acquire it to expand Tianzhi Electronics Factory. As for the price, we are willing to purchase Yuehua's land at a 50% premium over the current market valuation of the plot," Zhao Wanyu said.

Zhao Qinghua took it and looked it over. It was indeed Yuehua's land, though he himself had never noticed such a plot.

"Uncle Zhao, Tianzhi currently needs to develop at the fastest possible speed. We are about to build a new production area to accommodate new production lines. And Yuehua's plot is connected to Tianzhi Electronics Factory while being sufficiently large. We attach great importance to this plot, so we hope Uncle Zhao can step forward and help us secure it," Chen Mengchuan said slowly.

Zhao Qinghua fell into contemplation. He did not have a particularly deep impression of this plot. It should have been one of a batch of land parcels acquired during a period when Yuehua's relationships were favorable. Although the area was large enough, the location was not good, the surrounding supporting facilities were very poor, and it directly bordered the factory, making it a less-than-ideal residential development site.

"Manager Zhao, come to think of it, we are actually family," Sun Zhongyong smiled and said.

Zhao Qinghua looked at him with some puzzlement.

Sun Zhongyong smiled and said, "Look at my big mouth. Judging by Manager Zhao's expression, I guess Wanyu didn't tell you that Wanyu is the second-largest shareholder of Tianzhi. The shares she holds in her hands are more than Manager Xu's and mine combined."

Zhao Qinghua was startled. His expression shifted slightly as he looked at his daughter in disbelief.

Zhao Wanyu nodded. "So, Dad, you must sell this plot of land to us."

The words of Sun Zhongyong and Zhao Wanyu instantly sent Zhao Qinghua's mind into disarray, his heart pounding wildly. His own daughter was the second-largest shareholder of Tianzhi Technology, currently the hottest company in China?

Before this trip, Zhao Qinghua did not have a very deep understanding of Tianzhi. When he temporarily received news from the provincial authorities, he only had his secretary hurriedly learn about the new Tianzhi Electronics Factory, and his concept of Tianzhi Electronics Factory was that it was a new technology company producing mobile phone wireless chargers. But today, after accompanying the provincial leaders and a group of industry peers to tour and exchange ideas with Tianzhi, he already completely understood just how terrifying Tianzhi's wireless technology was.

Everyone within their peer circle unanimously agreed that this company possessed a new technology capable of truly changing the world!

Yet wireless chargers were merely the tip of the iceberg for this technology.

At that moment, he completely understood Lin Qiyi's remark: "Old Zhao, you've raised a good daughter."

"I need to make a phone call." Zhao Qinghua took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, and dialed his subordinate cost director.

"Akun, help me check who handled a land plot numbered JS3002-19?... Good,... Zhao Dongyou? I know. That's it." Zhao Qinghua hung up the phone, his expression not looking very good.

"Is it Uncle You's land?" Zhao Wanyu also frowned slightly.

Zhao Qinghua nodded, looked at Chen Mengchuan and the others, and spoke slowly: "Yuehua's internal structure is relatively complex, and the major shareholders each hold quite a few land plots. This land happens to be in the hands of my cousin, Zhao Dongyou. If it were anyone else, it might be a bit easier to handle, but because it's him... it's very difficult."

"Uncle Zhao, we aren't worried about the price issue. Even if the price is a bit higher, we can accept it," Chen Mengchuan said.

Zhao Qinghua shook his head. "Land transactions aren't such a simple matter... Anyway, I'll try, but during this period, you mustn't alert the enemy."

Chen Mengchuan spoke up, "We'll leave this matter in Uncle Zhao's hands, then."

Zhao Qinghua nodded. "It's getting late, and I still have matters at the company. I'll also think about this when I get back. You all stay here."

"Dad, I'll see you out," Zhao Wanyu said.

"Good, Dad also wants to ask you some things," Zhao Qinghua replied.

"Brother Chuan, Manager Xu, Manager Sun, you go on with your work. I'll just see my dad out," Zhao Wanyu said with a smile.

"You all stay. Wanyu can just see me out, and we haven't seen each other in a while anyway." Zhao Qinghua smilingly stopped Chen Mengchuan and the other two as they rose.

Chen Mengchuan smiled. "Alright then, Uncle Zhao, you two talk."

Arriving at the parking lot, Zhao Qinghua instructed the driver to wait outside for a moment, then looked at his daughter with a serious expression.

Seeing his solemn expression, Zhao Wanyu couldn't help laughing out loud. "Alright, Dad, just ask whatever you want to ask."

"You certainly gave me quite an unexpected surprise." Zhao Qinghua pulled a long face and let out a huff.

"A grown daughter can't be kept at home. Dad asks you, what is your relationship with this Chen Mengchuan?" Zhao Qinghua asked.

Zhao Wanyu's face flushed slightly; she hadn't expected him to bring up her relationship with Chen Mengchuan right off the bat.

"Your dad is someone who has been through it all, so don't try to pull any wool over my eyes. Those eyeballs of yours already gave your relationship away long ago. You've really let this brat get off easy." Zhao Qinghua huffed.

Zhao Wanyu puckered her lips and didn't answer him.

"You really are the second-largest shareholder of Tianzhi?" Zhao Qinghua couldn't help asking anyway.

Zhao Wanyu nodded. "At the time, Brother Chuan needed money, so I gave him the 600 million you gave me."

The corners of Zhao Qinghua's mouth twitched, and a wave of toothache hit him.
