Fu Bing left the company to have dinner with Ren Ye and Ren Zhi.
Ren Ye spoke with displeasure, "Now that you’re back in Jiangcheng, you don’t want to return here. Are you afraid of ?"
"I’m afraid of disappointing you," Fu Bing replied, her gaze submissively lowered.
Ren Ye’s dissatisfaction, initially provoked by President Han and Qin Jinhai, was extinguished by her lighthearted remark.
What else could he do but indulge her?
"I want to push you further, to have you replace Liu Xinping and eventually beco a leader in the pharmaceutical industry. However..."
Fu Bing smiled faintly. "President Han wants to promote Qin Jinhai, right?"
Ren Ye didn’t deny it.
"Qin Jinhai is Master Jian’s youngest apprentice," Fu Bing said. "His experience is greater than mine. I don’t have much credibility in the dical field. If I were to forcefully take that position, I wouldn’t be able to hold it securely."
She was very clear about her own strengths and weaknesses.
"Can you really bear to watch Qin Jinhai parade before your eyes every day?" Ren Ye asked. "If he appears frequently, will you still have room in your heart for others?"
Ren Ye was even more worried about this.
It wasn’t surprising to him that Fu Bing had rejected Feng Yu back then. After such a deeply engraved romance, it was hard to accept another person. But he couldn’t condone her pinning all her hopes on Qin Jinhai, as if determined to hang herself from that one ’crooked tree’.
Fu Bing knew Ren Ye was worried about her and said calmly, "I haven’t made any plans for a future with him; I’ll leave future worries for the future to handle. For now, I want to work harder in my profession so that those who follow can feel more confident when competing for projects."
"Previously, I was sowhat idealistic, thinking that simply setting up a team and giving them enough space and opportunities to showcase their abilities and realize their value would be sufficient."
"Only after actually forming the team did I realize that just building a platform isn’t enough. My own capabilities don’t cover all these areas, which would make them feel insecure and lack confidence when they went out to negotiate."
The field Cheng Shuangqing was responsible for was her comfort zone. In that area, she was a top star; her na was the best calling card. However, her capabilities in the dical field hadn’t been showcased much. Few people trusted her dical skills, so even suspected that the people behind her were the ones performing the healing, and that she herself wasn’t very capable. Otherwise, with Yang Ningzheng’s abilities, he shouldn’t have encountered so many difficulties while expanding the dical platform.
After listening, Ren Ye just smiled faintly.
"I actually think you’re overthinking it. For Yang Ningzheng, forging a new path with you also aligns with his career aspirations."
"Challenges are crucial for n. Only challenges and passion can hold a man’s interest permanently."
"Love can only hold them for a while."
Ren Ye looked at Fu Bing affectionately. "I’ve been a man for decades; n do get their hearts stirred. But that period is short. Once the passion recedes, only the asure of value remains."
"I can’t guarantee all n are like this, but the vast majority are. Ultimately, interests are what n pursue."
"Don’t be blinded by a fleeting love."
Ren Ye’s words were very direct.
Fu Bing and Qin Jinhai’s influence in the dical field wasn’t insignificant. Her relationship with Master Jian also remained good. If she were determined to beco the top pharmaceutical company, Master Jian might very well support her.
As for Qin Jinhai... Ren Ye made no judgnt.
Fu Bing said, "My decision not to try and take over Liu Xinping’s company isn’t because of Qin Jinhai, but because now isn’t the best ti."
"If Yang Ningzheng were to leave Liu Xinping and imdiately try to take down his forr employer, that kind of reputation would harm both him and , and it wouldn’t be beneficial for our future developnt."
"My prior participation in major dical competitions didn’t convince people in the industry, and I can’t suppress those agitators eager to stir up trouble."
"In the conflict with the Bai Family, I wasn’t the one who handled it either; it was still Qin Jinhai and others working together."
"I do have so excellent doctors on my team, but most of them are engrossed in dicine and their patients, with few focusing on expanding their reputation or on profitability."
"This ans my dical team, in the short term, lacks the bold, ’burn the boats’ determination to achieve a specific goal at all costs, and I need so ti to resolve this issue."
"These are my reasons for not competing for Liu Xinping’s company, not because I’m arbitrarily blaming it on Qin Jinhai wanting Liu Xinping’s company, and therefore I’m not trying to snatch it."
Fu Bing wouldn’t explain too much to others. But for the elders she respected, when she sensed their concerns, she would explain things carefully.
Ren Ye nodded upon hearing this.
"It was my lack of confidence in you," he said.
"I know you care about ," Fu Bing poured Ren Ye a glass of wine. "Uncle Ren, thank you for saying these things to . I’m very good at handling others’ vulnerabilities, but I’m not good at dissecting my own true vulnerabilities with others."
"I realized I had this problem a long ti ago, but I still haven’t resolved it. Whether I can resolve it in the future, I don’t know."
"Regardless of whether it can be resolved, I consider you and Ren Zhi very important people; you hold a special place in my heart."
A complicated feeling welled up in Ren Zhi’s heart. "Sister Bing, we all understand."
"Mm."
Ren Ye said nothing more.
Fu Bing was only twenty-five; she had a long life ahead of her. It was normal for her to encounter any kind of problem at her age. With him by her side watching over her, no matter how big the waves, he could confidently pull her up. No matter how difficult things beca, he wouldn’t let her fall into the mire as she did four years ago, to be trampled by others.
Fu Bing didn’t return to the villa that night. Slightly tipsy, she and Ren Zhi were singing at the top of their lungs in the top-floor restaurant.
When Ren Zhi heard Fu Bing’s singing, the shock sobered him up instantly.
"Sis, seriously? You’re actually tone-deaf!"
"I’m not interested in singing," Fu Bing said, completely unabashed.
She only listened to music and had no interest in singing herself; she hardly ever sang.
"Aren’t you going to study it seriously and try to beco a flawless, 360-degree national goddess?"
"I have no such intention."
Being a poor singer wasn’t really a flaw.
Ren Zhi looked at her with admiration. He really liked her!
"Sister, you’re so cool!"
"I think so too!"
Their caterwauling reached the nearby presidential suite.
Qin Jinhai paused in his work. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly before he even realized it.
The mont Jian Yao saw his expression, he knew whose voice Qin Jinhai had heard.
"Dealing with Liu Xinping isn’t difficult; the challenge lies in managing our rivals. Shen Shichen is not to be underestimated; he will be a formidable opponent."
"Shen Shichen has deep connections with the Bai Family, and he has several publicly-listed pharmaceutical companies. He has been eyeing Liu Pharmaceutical for years and has been preparing for a long ti."
"I can handle it," Qin Jinhai said calmly.
"I know you can handle it; I’m just reminding you to be careful. Shen Shichen isn’t easy to deal with. If you try to take the prize he’s set his sights on, he won’t be so agreeable," Jian Yao said.
Qin Jinhai’s assets had been separated from the Qin Family’s long ago, so the Qin Family’s downfall didn’t significantly impact his finances.
It was precisely because of this that Jian Yao was worried. Shen Shichen had the Shen Family behind him, but Qin Jinhai had no one to rely on. How could he, alone, take on the entire Shen Family and snatch Liu Pharmaceutical from Shen Shichen’s grasp?
