Mr. Todd, the founder of the Mocha Group.

"Mr. Todd!" Even Yu Lian, who had seen many storms, couldn't help but say the other person's name with extreme surprise at this moment.

The two people sitting at the dining table exchanged a smile upon seeing this.

"Miss Yu, please sit down. You don't need to be so formal. Todd and I have been friends for many years. We just happened to run into each other in Hong Kong and decided to have a casual meal together. You don't mind, do you?"

Seeing that this person was still in shock, Yu Lian quickly shook her head and waved her hands.

The children behind me weren't scared. After politely greeting them, they sat down one by one.

"Miss Yu, please sit down. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I waited for you to arrive before ordering. Waiter!"

The old lady spoke with great energy and seemed to be in a good mood.

Yu Lian composed herself and focused on eating.

After ordering a few dishes that she and her child liked, Yu Lian introduced the specialties and flavors of Fulimen to the two elderly people, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the meal.

Yu Lian's fluent English allowed her to take care of Mr. Todd, who only spoke English.

Looking at the real, living person in front of her, Yu Lian's curiosity reached its peak. However, her upbringing did not allow her to behave rudely in such a situation.

After the waiter left, the group chatted for a few moments before Mrs. Samuel spoke up, "Miss Jasmine told me that your family owns a pharmaceutical company. Coincidentally, the gentleman beside me is in the same industry as you. From your tone just now, I can tell you should recognize him. If you have any questions, whether they are related or not, please feel free to ask."

From that moment on, Yu Lian gradually understood Mrs. Samuel's feelings.

In an attempt to apologize or express her gratitude, she invited Mr. Todd into this small private room, less than two meters away from her.

Yu Lian didn't admire him; it was just that he himself was a legend in the pharmaceutical field.

They're like mythical figures who only exist in books.

Moreover, he was not only skilled in medicine making, but also a genius in business.

Mocaric and R&F are now two of the world's leading pharmaceutical giants, operating side by side.

"I read in the newspaper that you almost never go abroad or leave the company. How come you have time to come to Hong Kong? You didn't come here specifically to sue our company, did you?"

This remark made them both laugh, even more loudly than when they first met.

For a moment, the private room was filled with the hearty laughter of the two elderly people.

Mrs. Samuel laughed heartily, clapping her hands and saying, "I originally invited old man Todd here because I thought you would take this opportunity to ask about your experience in company management, but it seems you haven't lost your mind after all."

Yu Lian smiled apologetically, "Mrs. Samuel, I appreciate your kindness. As Mr. Todd is the most senior figure in our industry, it is indeed necessary for me to learn from his experience. But upon reflection, we are not on the same page, and I am more concerned about the matters at hand."

Her words instantly piqued Todd's curiosity.

"Miss Yu, what do you mean by 'different paths'?"

Yu Lian hesitated for only a second before receiving an encouraging look from Mrs. Samuel across from her.

And he personally said to Todd, "It's normal for you, as a young person, to have your own ideas. This old man isn't a petty person either, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today. If he wants to know, just say it, don't be afraid."

Mrs. Samuel's words were gentle yet firm, which reassured Yu Lianxin.

"To be honest, sir, my initial motivation for entering the medical industry was to make healthcare affordable for the poor, and secondly, to earn a living. But you are now more like a successful businessman than a doctor, as you started out."

Instead of responding to Yu Lian's questions immediately, Todd raised several of his own questions.

"Ms. Yu, how many years have you been in this industry? Do you still hold onto the same initial aspirations you had?"

Yu Lian answered firmly, "It's been almost six years, and I still hold onto my original aspirations and have been practicing them all along."

Before Todd arrived, he learned about Xiangshi, a medium-sized company, from his old friend.

They also learned about the company's reputation among the citizens, which undoubtedly confirmed what Yu Lian had just said.

"Yes, it's something to be proud of for young people to have lofty ambitions. I once had the same thoughts as you, but for various reasons, I didn't persevere, not even for as long as you. You're more capable than me, and I hope you can persevere a little longer. I hereby unilaterally declare the lawsuit between your company and Mochale Company closed and grant you the right to operate in the European and American markets."

The unexpected joy came so suddenly that Yu Lian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Several children, led by Samuel, clapped and celebrated in the private room.

Just then, the food arrived.

The waiter knocked on the door, neatly arranged the dishes on the table, and poured drinks for the guests.

Yu Lian raised her glass, stood up, and said, "Mrs. Samuel, it has been my greatest honor to know you recently, and of course, I am also grateful for Mr. Todd's generosity and understanding. To you both."

Cheers! Wishing you continued success in your career!

The group raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

With Todd joining in, the meal was extended indefinitely.

What was originally an hour was stretched into two hours.

He Lin went to the front desk several times to ask, but was told that he could not disclose the guest's privacy or bring him in.

However, the receptionist who changed shifts recognized He Lin and was so excited that she wanted to shout.

"Excuse me, my partner is in a private room. I'd like to check if he's safe. Could you help me look into it?"

Logically speaking, the front desk should not disclose such information, as Fu Lin Men's customers value privacy the most.

"This is a one-time exception, but you'll have to tell me the name of the person who booked the private room."

Mrs. Samuel.

"Okay, I'll have someone take a look. Please wait a moment."

After finding the private room number, the front desk made a call and received a quick response.

"Mr. He, please wait a moment. They have already come out and left."

"Okay, thank you."

The receptionist couldn't resist gossiping, "Mr. He, you're really amazing! You managed to outmaneuver your opponent completely. But I've never heard of you having a wife. Have you remarried?"

He Lin said calmly, "I have never been divorced. Please do not believe the reports from unscrupulous media outlets. My wife would be heartbroken if she heard them."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Lin saw the woman walking towards him in the distance.

"here!"

The receptionist looked over.

Even from a distance, one can glean a woman's general appearance and age.

That's why her liking and admiration for He Lin suddenly diminished a bit.

Turning to his colleague behind him, he said, "Even the most capable men are not immune to vulgarity. They all like younger women, yet they stubbornly refuse to admit it."

He Lin had excellent hearing, and the entire sentence reached his ears.

He frowned in displeasure, but said nothing, and strode towards his wife and children.

The three chatted happily in the private room, and the children also enjoyed their meal. Everyone had a good time.

Seeing He Lin take the initiative to step forward, Yu Lian generously introduced the two of them.

He Lin had heard of Mr. Todd's name before, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.

Although Samuel did not know He Lin personally, he had seen him on television and in newspapers in Xiang City in recent days.

What was even more surprising was Todd's attitude. He expressed his apology for his management failure and extended an olive branch to He Lin for cooperation.

He Lin looked at Yu Lian, but didn't dare to agree immediately.

Yu Lian quickly explained, "I'm sorry, you two, I won't interfere in his company's affairs, nor will I mix public and private matters. So your cooperation is essentially none of my business."

Samuel took her hand and patted it. "Good girl, believe me, you will shine brightly. Don't be timid, your future lies in a wider world."

Yu Lian was slightly moved, but replied firmly, "Thank you, Mrs. Samuel. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Before saying goodbye, He Lin suddenly invited the two to attend their belated wedding ceremony.

Yu Lian didn't have time to stop it.

Samuel immediately agreed and said he would postpone his return home for her wedding.

"I won't say more, but I will attend your wedding on time and prepare a surprise gift for you. I'm sure you'll like it."
