Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"You guys talk about your stuff, and we'll just sit in on the conversation."

"This involves commercial secrets. Isn't it inconvenient?" Zhuang Xiaodie hesitated.

"If it's just a business matter, then there's nothing inconvenient about it." Xu Shen said seriously, "You're from Hong Kong, so you may not know much about our mainland. As long as it involves other aspects, I guarantee that no one will know the content of your conversation."

"Okay then." Zhuang Xiaodie hesitated for a moment before taking out a few documents. "Mr. Lin, this is what the CEO asked me to give you. I need your autograph to authorize it..."

Lin Shaowen didn't read the content and just pushed it to Xu Shen.

Xu Shen immediately put on his reading glasses and began to read carefully.

After half an hour.

"Lou Xiao'e wants to patent Lin Shaowen's prescription?" Xu Shen asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Zhuang Xiaodie raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "These prescriptions were all developed by Mr. Lin. If we want to sell the drugs overseas, we naturally have to ask him for authorization... Of course, there is another way, which is for Mr. Lin to give the prescriptions to Ms. Lou."

"No."

Xu Shen hurriedly said, "His prescription is highly confidential and cannot be leaked."

"So we're taking the first option," Zhuang Xiaodie said seriously, "We'll sign another agreement, licensing the prescription to you permanently, free of charge."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask for instructions." Xu Shen sighed, "You guys take a seat first. I'll go and apply."

"Ok."

Zhuang Xiaodie smiled slightly, but felt a little nervous inside.

She used to not understand why Lou Xiao'e was so obsessed with her husband in the mainland, but now it seems... this handsome man is a very important figure.

"Are Xiao'e and the children okay?" Lin Shaowen asked softly.

"Very good." Zhuang Xiaodie nodded and said, "The eldest young master is very talented in studying and is very smart. The eldest young lady likes art and is now very good at playing the piano."

"Where are the other two guys?" Lin Shaowen asked with a smile.

"They are still too young, but overall they are well-behaved." Zhuang Xiaodie also laughed.

"Ah."

Lin Shaowen nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Gang said nothing and remained silent throughout the whole process.

After half an hour.

Xu Shen is back.

"Generally speaking, the higher-ups have agreed to your conditions, but there is one requirement."

"Please speak..." Zhuang Xiaodie said seriously.

"Comrade Lin Shaowen is an important medical researcher of ours, so please don't send anyone to target him anymore, okay?" Xu Shen said in a deep voice, "In the future, whenever he develops a new drug, we will give her a copy, including all the research data."

"Okay." Zhuang Xiaodie nodded in agreement.

"Sign it."

Xu Shen handed the contract to Lin Shaowen.

Lin Shaowen signed his name without even looking at it.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." After shaking hands with him, Zhuang Xiaodie looked at Xu Shen and said, "Minister Xu, if our president wants to send something to Mr. Lin, it won't be against the rules, right?"

"That depends on what it is." Xu Shen chuckled.

"I see." Zhuang Xiaodie nodded and smiled at Lin Shaowen, "Mr. Lin, is there anything you want me to tell the president?"

"Let her take care of herself and the children. As for business, if she can do it, then do it. If she can't, forget it." Lin Shaowen said lightly.

"Ok."

Zhuang Xiaodie nodded, turned and left.

After they sent her to the door, they turned back.

"It's this late, why don't we stay here for the night?" Lin Gang said with a smile.

"If you have something to say to me, just say it...why are you beating around the bush?" Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha……"

Xu Shen and Lin Gang burst into laughter at the same time.

The staff lit a stove under the table and brought three bottles of Lao Baigan and some peanuts.

"There's not even a meat dish?" Lin Shaowen said with disdain.

"Go to hell with you." Xu Shen glared, "Do you think everyone is as rich as you? We are lucky to have something to eat."

"Oh, Minister Xu, are you blaming me for not sending him anything?" Lin Shaowen laughed.

"That's right." Xu Shen said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't I go to Lin Gang's house for dinner? I didn't know you had so much rabbit meat."

"Who told you not to come?" Lin Shaowen unscrewed the wine bottle and said with a smile, "It's not good for me to bring things to your government office, and it's even worse to send them to your home... It's better not to cause trouble."

"Well."

Xu Shen was slightly stunned.

That makes damn sense.

Chapter 575: Deputy Ministerial Level

"We've been drinking this wine for half the night, now it's time to talk about what happened?" Lin Shaowen said, shaking the bottle.

"We have applied to the higher-ups and would like to give you a position in the Seventh Department at the vice-ministerial level," Xu Shen said softly.

"What the hell? Vice-ministerial level?" Lin Shaowen looked stunned.

He was less than 30 years old and he had already been promoted to deputy ministerial level cadre. This had never happened before in peacetime.

"Minister Song Xilian of the Ministry of Health has submitted reports many times, wanting you to be the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health, but they were all suppressed. Do you know why?" Lin Gang said.

"Minister Bi doesn't want me to go up." Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile, "Lao Xu, Lao Lin... to be honest with you, I am very grateful to Minister Bi. He is almost worried about me."

The situation is unclear now.

Being in a high position is not necessarily a good thing.

Song Xilian's position is different from Bi Yanjun's. Song Xilian is purely considering the public interest. After all, Lin Shaowen is capable, and if he can help him, he can make more contributions to the country.

But Bi Yanjun was considering it from the perspective of an elder. In his eyes, Lin Shaowen was too young. Judging from his current resume, it was a bit far-fetched for him to be a deputy ministerial-level cadre, but he was more than qualified to be a deputy bureau-level cadre.

After all, Lin Shaowen has a good reputation among the top leaders, so he has no worries about his future.

"I understand your concerns. Many leaders now take work style issues very seriously. If you really get promoted, I don't know how many eyes will be on you." Xu Shen sighed, "But you have indeed made a lot of contributions, so in order to compensate you, the higher-ups will let you serve as deputy director of the Seventh Department. First, raise your rank and salary."

"Whose idea?" Lin Shaowen frowned.

Xu Shen and Lin Gang looked at each other and fell silent.

"What? You don't want to say it or you can't say it?" Lin Shaowen chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Mr. Zhao who suggested it, and then Li Erzhuo and Jin Fu helped... That's what made this happen, right?"

"Who told you that?" Xu Shen asked in surprise.

"Is there any need to say this?" Lin Shaowen said helplessly, "The only important people I know who can have a say in such an occasion are these few... Minister Xu, you should not have a say, right?"

"You've really become Zhuge Liang." Lin Gang said with a wry smile, "Sometimes I really want to see what's going on in your brain. You're good at medicine, you know mechanics... and now you can predict the future like a god. Wow."

"If you read more books, you can do it too." Lin Shaowen said sincerely.

"Go to hell." Lin Gang cursed with a smile.

"You are a deputy ministerial cadre, just a temporary official. You cannot interfere with the normal work flow of our Seventh Division." Xu Shen said seriously, "Of course, you will receive all the benefits you deserve... including a car and housing."

"Forget about the housing. I have a house now and I'm too lazy to move." Lin Shaowen said lightly, "As for the car...what about my Beijing 212? You don't want to take it back, do you? How can I explain if I change the car?"

"That's not my business." Xu Shen gloated, "Your 212 with a military license plate is very rare. If you change it to a red flag... you'll lose a lot."

"Is there a red flag?" Lin Shaowen's eyes lit up.

"It's been around for a long time, but it's just being mass-produced now." Lin Gang said with a smile, "Why don't you let Qin Jingru drive the car? That 212... As long as you don't tell everyone that you're a vice-ministerial level cadre, no one will care about this kind of thing."

"Don't give me such bad advice." Lin Shaowen scolded with a smile, "She's a clerk driving... You want my family to be investigated, right?"

"Then what should we do with this car?" Xu Shen spread his hands.

"Drive back to the yard first, I'll think about it later..." Lin Shaowen pouted, "Old Xu, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're pushing the car back without saying a word, you're just trying to cheat me. If something goes wrong with the car, I'll have to take the blame."

"Am I such a person?" Xu Shen's face turned red, and he said stiffly, "Okay, drive the car away, I want to see how you plan to deal with it, so that you don't get caught and have to come back to get proof."

"I have my own arrangements."

Lin Shaowen picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, brothers... let's go."

"Go one."

Xu Shen and Lin Gang raised their glasses at the same time.

One o'clock in the morning.

Three cars stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

"Here, I give you the car keys and the gas coupons. You must keep these things well, otherwise you won't even be able to afford a car with your salary." Lin Gang scolded with a smile.

"Come with me to the yard. I'll get you some fruit and meat." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "Minister Xu from your family has been staring at me all night. If I don't appreciate it... he wants to eat me up."

"At least you have some sense," Xu Shen scolded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take advantage of it too." Lin Gang said happily.

Everyone in the courtyard had fallen asleep. When Lin Shaowen and Lin Gang walked to the west courtyard, a figure came up to them.

"Well, Xiaoyu, you're still awake?"

"I'm worried about you. You haven't come back yet so late." Zhang Xiaoyu said coquettishly, and then she saw Lin Gang behind her and frowned, "Uncle, what are you doing here? There's no place for you to sleep in our house."

"Zhang Xiaoyu, I am your uncle." Lin Gang said angrily.

"You're not home so late, be careful or I'll tell my aunt." Zhang Xiaoyu glared.

"Oh, oh, oh, I can't afford to offend you." Lin Gang looked at Lin Shaowen hurriedly, "Hurry up... I don't want to be an eyesore here."

"Row."

Lin Shaowen went into the study and came out soon carrying two large bags.

But before he handed it to Lin Gang, he was stopped by Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Uncle, you are a department-level cadre, why do you always come to my house to beg for money?" Zhang Xiaoyu said in hatred, "I have a big family...this little food is not enough for us to eat."

"Zhang Xiaoyu, do you want to piss me off to death?" Lin Gang said angrily, "When Lao Lin and I met, you weren't even there yet. Let's not talk about our relationship. Lao Lin and I are close friends. What do you think of that?"

"you……"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. It's already late." Lin Shaowen yawned and said, "Hurry up and get out of here, or else Old Xu will think you left my house after eating your fill."

"In this family, the man should be the boss. If the woman is the boss... life will be miserable."

After Lin Gang said something, he picked up his things and ran away.

"Even if our family has mountains of gold and silver, it's not enough for you to spend." Zhang Xiaoyu reached out and tapped Lin Shaowen's head, saying unhappily, "Even if we are friends, you can't keep giving gifts, right? Can we still live our lives?"

"Xiao Yu, this is a man's business, why should we women care so much?" Qin Huairu came out of the bedroom, holding her hand and said, "As long as we are not cold and hungry, it's fine. If he wants to send us off, just ignore him."

"Just get used to him."

Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In her entire life, she had never seen anyone as generous as Lin Shaowen.

Whenever friends come over, I will take out any good things I have at home without them having to ask, just to make sure they don't go home empty-handed.

Chapter 576 We now have two cars

bedroom.

Zhang Xiaoyu was still a little unhappy. She felt that Qin Huairu and the others spoiled Lin Shaowen too much. Although the family was not short of money, and even had extra money...but supplies were in short supply and could not be bought with money.

You can't just carry gold and exchange it for supplies with others, right?

"You, don't be so petty." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "We can live a peaceful life, and I don't know how much help my friends have given us. Otherwise, who do you think I can hide my affairs with you from?"
