I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 431 Unexpected Changes
There were plenty of empty parking spaces in the parking lot, and the Alphard could have parked anywhere, but it just so happened to be next to that black Mercedes S-Class.

It’s really a coincidence.

Han Jie was about to get off the bus before Wei Lin even called out, but then he suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at Wei Lin, and saw that Wei Lin's gaze remained fixed on the Mercedes-Benz, so he did not rush to ask any questions.

Wei Lin only looked away after the black Mercedes carrying Xiao Bing and the old butler drove off.

At that moment, he finally became certain that Xiao Bing and Mr. Wu knew each other.

They were also convinced that Xiao Bing's strangeness was definitely related to Mr. Wu, and that he had most likely obtained a strengthening fruit.

"Does Xiao Bing know that she is different from ordinary people? When Mr. Wu gave her an enhancement fruit, did he tell her that clearly?"

"If I were to make it clear, and Xiao Bing knew that I was extraordinary, and also sensed that I was no ordinary person, my identity might be exposed."

"However, Mr. Wu is very likely like me, keeping it to himself."

Wei Lin pondered.

When he placed an enhancement fruit on He Jingxuan and An Xin, he didn't reveal anything openly.

Li Qinling's life fruit, and Mu Lanyan's mother's life fruit, were described as other medicines, without specifying the details.

After all, such a fruit was too astonishing, and Mr. Wu would not act so rashly.

"Mr. Wu's butler suddenly appeared at Zhongcheng Pharmacy, could it be that..."

Wei Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He secretly suspected that the mysterious Mr. Wu had also set his sights on Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical and was planning to get a share of the pie in advance.

Han Jie, who was in the Alphard, kept a close eye on Wei Lin's expression and actions. Seeing him frowning and deep in thought, he remained quiet and waited patiently.

"Brother Wei, is that General Manager Xiao?"

On the contrary, He Jingxuan couldn't help but notice Xiao Bing as well, drawn by Wei Lin's shout and the sight of the Mercedes.

Xiao Bing last night gave her a strong sense of pressure. After returning to the hotel, she even mentioned it to Wei Lin, saying that she had a very deep impression of Xiao Bing.

When she saw Xiao Bing again in the morning, she was even more surprised than Wei Lin, and even suspected that Wei Lin and Xiao Bing had arranged it in advance.

"Yes, it's Xiao Bing, whom we met last night."

Wei Lin snapped out of his thoughts, smiled apologetically at Han Jie, and said, "We met the woman who picked us up last night. I heard she works in the entertainment industry and is quite a capable woman."

He explained how he met Xiao Bing yesterday.

Han Jie nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "Wei Lin, who is that old man?"

His eyes were too sharp; he noticed that Wei Lin's gaze was almost always fixed on the old butler, and he knew that Wei Lin didn't really care about Xiao Bing.

Wei Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Han, this is the first time I've met him, but I've heard of him."

"Is it very impressive?" Han Jie asked.

Wei Lin didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded.

"Alright, let's ignore them. It's about time, let's get on with our business."

Han Jie didn't press the matter further. He got off the Alphard and headed towards Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical.

……

Inside the black Mercedes S-Class.

The driver drove in silence, while Xiao Bing and the old butler sat in the spacious back seat.

"Why did my godfather choose this pharmaceutical company?"

Xiao Bing asked with a smile.

The old butler skillfully operated the tablet computer in his hand, saying without looking up, "Chang Cheng has strong pharmaceutical research and development capabilities, and is a world leader in many fields. He has no shortage of technology, and his wife is good at management and business. The only thing the couple lacks is money."

“As long as you give them money, the couple can build Zhongcheng into a global leader in many drugs.”

"No matter how much money you invest in a company like this, it's worth it, and you'll make it back in the future."

The old butler said calmly.

Xiao Bing was taken aback, then asked, "Can you handle that?"

The old butler smiled and said, "I came here in person and showed such sincerity, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Chang Cheng told us that someone else had their eye on Zhongcheng before us. He didn't mention their background, but it seems their offer wasn't as good as ours."

Xiao Bing smiled and complimented, "Then there shouldn't be any problem."

The old butler nodded gently.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

In Chang Cheng's office, he and his wife Hao Han met with Han Jie and Wei Lin.

He Jingxuan and Han Jie's assistants waited outside. "President Han, President Wei, I've heard Qin Wei mention you two many times."

Chang Cheng stepped forward with a smile, shook hands with the two men, and said, "President Han, we've been communicating quite a bit lately, and we had already finalized the agreement."

Upon hearing this, Han Jie frowned.

Wei Lin was also taken aback.

Before coming, Han Jie made it clear that Chang Cheng, who urgently needed money, had been communicating with him a lot recently because of Qin Wei's matchmaking.

The two have already reached a pretty good understanding on the general direction, and today they can just go through the formalities and sign the contract directly.

But Chang Cheng's words clearly hinted at an impending change.

really.

"There's a capital company in Shenzhen that, for some reason, has also taken a liking to Zhongcheng and has offered us equally excellent terms."

Chang Cheng paused for a moment, then looked troubled and said frankly, "We just talked before you. The reason I didn't agree is because we had already discussed it beforehand."

"Of course, there's also the connection with Qin Wei."

"The money we were planning to raise was found by Qin Wei, whom I asked to help. He has done a lot for Zhongcheng."

"I am grateful to Qin Wei, and also to President Han for his trust in us, so I didn't rush to agree to their request."

This means that the terms offered by the other party are more favorable than those offered by Han Jie.

If it weren't for Qin Wei's sake and the fact that he and Han Jie had already talked for so long, he probably would have directly chosen the company in Shenzhen and wouldn't have met with Han Jie to give a proper explanation.

Han Jie's expression was somber. He glanced at Wei Lin beside him but didn't speak immediately.

Chang Cheng also felt embarrassed and explained, "I'm really sorry, we've been communicating with each other privately for so long. If they hadn't suddenly come over, we could have signed the contract today according to the agreement, but now... their terms are indeed better, and I'm in a dilemma."

As he spoke, Chang Cheng pushed a stack of documents in front of Han Jie.

Han Jie immediately buried his head in reading.

Chang Cheng wore thick black-rimmed glasses, was of medium build, slightly overweight, and looked like a bookworm, but his eyes shone brightly.

His wife, Hao Han, sat upright and serious, dressed in a smart and simple suit.

At first glance, Hao Han resembles a statue, giving people a feeling of being aloof and unapproachable.

Wei Lin took a deep breath and squinted to carefully observe the two people opposite him.

He didn't know much about the specifics of Han Jie and Chang Cheng's conversation, so he didn't care about the stack of documents in Han Jie's hand.

What he cared about was Chang Cheng and Hao Han's true thoughts.

"Are they trying to use Mr. Wu's connections to lower the price? Or are they really planning to abandon Han Jie and sign the contract directly with the other party?"

"The fact that Mr. Wu's people came here shows that they have their eyes on this pharmaceutical company, which proves that Han Jie and Qin Wei's judgment was correct. This company does indeed have great potential."

"The more this is the case, the more worthwhile it is to place a heavy bet!"

"But if Han Jie and I successfully get Zhongcheng Pharmaceuticals from his butler, will it attract his attention?"

Wei Lin's thoughts drifted away.

"Mr. Chang, can I go out and make a phone call to Qin Wei, and then we can talk again?"

Han Jie inquired.

Chang Cheng nodded slightly.

Han Jie looked at Wei Lin and said, "Would you like to sit down first? Or..."

Wei Lin said calmly, "I'll sit and wait."

Han Jie said no more and immediately left Chang Cheng's office to make a phone call to Qin Wei.

At this moment, Wei Lin pulled the stack of documents in front of him and began to look at them carefully.

……

outside.

"Brother Jie! This must be Hao Han's idea! Don't let her quiet demeanor fool you; she leaves everything to Chang Cheng to do, but Chang Cheng always listens to her!"

"Furthermore, they wouldn't come looking for nothing! Hao Han has been looking for other investment companies, so it must have been Hao Han who found them!"

"Chang Cheng didn't say a word to me until we were almost about to sign the contract, which must have been Hao Han's idea!"

Qin Wei on the phone was clearly also unhappy.

However, his dissatisfaction was not directed at Chang Cheng, but at Chang Cheng's wife, Hao Han, and he blamed all the problems on Hao Han.
