Li Xiaorou's Composure

Inside the Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals office.

Li Xiaorou was busy. She had just returned from a gathering of pharmaceutical industry professionals in the Mountain City and was still wearing the dress she wore at the gathering.

Li Xiaorou has been almost constantly in the public eye lately; Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals is incredibly popular. She's interviewed by numerous media outlets daily, and she also needs to attend various industry gatherings.

Although she only served as general manager for a few days.

But now Li Xiaorou is capable of handling things on her own.

She's been running around these past few days and just got back today; she still has a lot of work to do.

Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals has not only expanded its workforce recently, but has also purchased additional equipment.

Chen Feng gave her a new batch of raw materials last time.

She plans to start selling nationwide in a few days once production increases. This is also what the country hopes for.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Li Xiaorou said, "Come in."

Soon, a staff member walked in.

"Mr. Li, people from Huirui Pharmaceuticals are here. They say they have something to discuss with you."

Li Xiaorou was somewhat puzzled when she heard about Huirui Pharmaceuticals.

This pharmaceutical company is very famous worldwide, producing a wide variety of drugs.

What would a company of this caliber do here?

"Let them come over." Li Xiaorou put away the documents in front of her.

A moment later, Lu Mingze and his secretary entered the office.

Lu Mingze said with a smile:

"This must be General Manager Li. I am Lu Mingze, General Manager of Huirui Pharmaceutical's Dragon Country Branch."

Upon hearing the other person's identity, Li Xiaorou wasn't too surprised. She smiled politely and asked, "So it's President Lu. May I ask what brings you to our factory?"

Li Xiaorou is no longer the fresh graduate she once was; she has met far too many important figures during this time.

The military and the Ministry of Health —aren't they both top-tier figures?

The fact that he was the general manager of a branch of Huirui Pharmaceuticals wasn't too surprising to her.

Lu Mingze was quite surprised to see Li Xiaorou so calm.

"Mr. Li is truly young and promising. I've come here today to discuss cooperation with your factory."

Lu Mingze sat down directly on the upper sofa.

Li Xiaorou looked at Lu Mingze and asked, "What kind of cooperation?"

Li Xiaorou was somewhat unhappy with Lu Mingze's attitude, but she didn't know what to say.

"We at Huirui are very interested in your company's Wound Healing No. 1. However, we feel that your company's scale is still too small. We at Huirui are willing to invest in your Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals to help Xingfeng Sect Pharmaceutical expand its production. What do you think, Mr. Li?"

Upon hearing Lu Mingze's words, Li Xiaorou decisively refused. "No need, Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals has no shortage of funds."

Li Xiaorou wasn't lying; Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals is indeed not short of funds right now.

However, after this period of drug sales, Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals's working capital has reached more than ten million yuan.

If Chen Feng hadn't asked her to transfer the 50 million yuan deposit from Xingfeng Mining's account that the government had given her, she would have expanded production long ago.

She even asked Chen Feng about this, complaining that her boss was spending money way too fast.

I don't know where the 50 million went.

And even if she really gets into a situation where she's short of funds, she'll still go to the bank for a loan.

There is no need for external investment.

"President Li, how can we benefit the people if we don't expand the production of Wound Healing No. 1, a good medicine that benefits the country and its people? We at Huirui have a good relationship with several leaders, and they also hope that Huirui can help Dragon Country's pharmaceutical companies reach new heights."

"I'm afraid Mr. Li may not know this, but a pharmaceutical company has already sued Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals for alleged industry monopoly. If Mr. Li agrees to our investment from Huirui, then Huirui will help resolve this matter."

Lu Mingze first described Huirui's strength in China, and then talked about the crisis facing Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals.

He was determined to get the woman to panic if he used a two-pronged approach.

However, after Lu Mingze finished speaking, he noticed that Li Xiaorou still looked relaxed, as if she didn't care at all.

"Is Mr. Lu planning to forcibly acquire our Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals?" Li Xiaorou asked.

Before Lu Mingze could speak, his female secretary spoke up.

"Mr. Li, we don't like hearing that. Huirui's investment in your Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals is clearly a good thing, how come you see it as a forced acquisition?"

The secretary's words were somewhat sarcastic.

She was also a woman, and about the same age as Li Xiaorou.

Seeing that Li Xiaorou had become the company's general manager at such a young age, she was naturally a little jealous.

Li Xiaorou didn't answer, but instead took out her phone and sent a text message.

Lu Mingze smiled when he saw Li Xiaorou sending the text message.

He wasn't afraid of Li Xiaorou contacting people; he was afraid she wouldn't contact him at all.

If you only need contacts, then it depends on whose connections are stronger.

Lu Mingze said with a smile:

"Mr. Li, I sincerely hope you will consider this. With the strength of Huirui, if we invest in your Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals, it will definitely increase the sales of Wound Healing No. 1, and even selling it all over the world will not be a problem."

Lu Mingze had just finished speaking when his phone rang.

The call came from his legal team at Huirui Pharmaceuticals.

Upon seeing the call from the legal team, Lu Mingze immediately smiled.

The lawyers called at this time, which should mean that there has been progress in the lawsuit against Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals.

An anxious voice came through the phone as soon as it was answered.

"Mr. Lu, our lawsuit has been dismissed by the court, and State Security officers have come to our door to take us away for investigation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze immediately stood up.

"People from the State Security? What's going on?"

The court's rejection was one thing, but why did it involve the State Security Bureau? This puzzled Lu Mingze.

"I don't know. They said we were suspected of illegally obtaining state secrets and they wanted to take us away for investigation."

The call was abruptly ended as soon as the lawyer finished speaking; clearly, someone had taken the phone.

Lu Mingze broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He looked at Li Xiaorou and saw Li Xiaorou calm demeanor.

At this moment, Lu Mingze finally realized that something was wrong.

Yes, does Wound Healing No. 1 really have such good effects? Why is there no reaction from the government at all?

The only plausible explanation is that Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals is owned by the state.

Just then, five people walked into the room.

All five men were dressed in black suits, had buzz cuts, and each had a sharp gaze.

All five people's eyes fell on Lu Mingze at the same time.

One of the young men walked up to Lu Mingze, took out his identification, and said:

"Lu Mingze, right? You are now suspected of spying on state secrets and illegally smuggling drugs abroad. Please come with us."

Looking at the two large characters "State Security" on the other party's identification.

Lu Mingze was completely stunned.

The female secretary standing next to her turned deathly pale with fright.

This is the State Security! They only get involved in extremely serious matters.

Lu Mingze forced a smile and said, "Gentlemen, is there some misunderstanding?"

The young man said seriously, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll find out when we come with you."

After saying that, the two young men grabbed Lu Mingze and left without another word.

Li Xiaorou said to the departing young man, "Thank you for your hard work."

The State Security team members all nodded and greeted Li Xiaorou.

Li Xiaorou was not surprised that the State Security could appear so quickly, because there were State Security personnel guarding the gate of their factory 24 hours a day.

These people were there to prevent spies from infiltrating the factory and stealing technology.

Today, Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals even has a higher level of safety protection than Xingfeng Mining.

This is also why Li Xiaorou is confident.
