Lu Jinyuan was taken aback, "Pick... pick one? Pick for what? As our ultimate goal for Qingfan Pharmaceuticals’ developnt in the Capital?"
Chen Fan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Pick one as the office location for Qingfan Pharmaceuticals in the Capital!"
Lu Jinyuan’s eyes bulged, "Mr. Chen, you can’t be serious. These office buildings are the top ones in the Capital. It’s not as if you can simply pick one on a whim."
Chen Fan said indifferently, "These office buildings are all assets under my na, if I say you can pick then you can pick. Hurry up and stop dilly-dallying, once you’ve made your choice, I’ll have soone get in touch with you."
Lu Jinyuan couldn’t believe it. Chen Fan actually said these office buildings were his assets. Considering their value, they could probably amount to dozens of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals combined!
He was still half in doubt, but nevertheless followed Chen Fan’s request and casually picked an office building.
Chen Fan imdiately contacted Liu Xingtong to arrange this matter.
It wasn’t long before Lu Jinyuan received a phone call.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I’m the person in charge of Yunteng Building. May I ask when you plan to bring your company in?"
Only then did Lu Jinyuan believe what Chen Fan had said, and his face showed an expression of shock beyond asure.
His voice trembled as he said, "Any... anyti is fine."
The other side courteously said, "Alright, Mr. Lu, just contact when you arrive."
Lu Jinyuan swallowed hard and hurriedly asked before the other party hung up the phone, "Um... about the office space here, how is the rent calculated?"
The other side said, "There is no rent for Mr. Lu’s company at our place."
After the call ended, Lu Jinyuan stared at Chen Fan for a long ti before eventually speaking with difficulty, "Mr... Mr. Chen, how did you do this? You haven’t been in the Capital much longer than !"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Just lucky to co across so opportunities. Let’s talk about the last issue."
Lu Jinyuan took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions, thinking that the third issue was different from the first two: it wasn’t sothing that could be resolved with money or office buildings. He believed this issue would surely stump Mr. Chen.
He said, "The third issue is also the most difficult one. In the Capital, moderately large companies have to go through the approval of the Tianyuan Comrce Chamber."
"I originally thought it was just a normal procedure. But when I went to handle it, I ca across a particularly nasty and tricky staff mber. He looked down on outsiders like us, spoke very harshly, and kept suggesting I give him so benefits."
"I couldn’t stand it, so I said a few words. Little did I expect him to directly refuse my application and he even threatened , saying his uncle is a high-level official in the Tianyuan Comrce Chamber, and as long as his uncle wasn’t retired, Qingfan Pharmaceuticals could forget about developing in the Capital."
"At first, I didn’t believe him. The next day when I found another staff mber to process it, it happened just like he said. As soon as they saw I was from Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, they imdiately refused my application and told to find soone else. I went to three different people and it was all the sa."
"I never thought I would actually offend soone with real power in the Tianyuan Comrce Chamber. Later, I thought about sending a gift to make ands, but they flat-out refused it and told it wasn’t negotiable."
"I really regret saying those few words back then. If I had just humbly offered so benefits, this wouldn’t have happened."
"Mr. Chen, you should punish . It’s because of that Qingfan Pharmaceuticals’ developnt plan has been affected. I asked so friends, and they say our only option now is to register a new company and have soone else apply for the approval."
After speaking, he hung his head in dejection, his face full of guilt.
Chen Fan, having listened to Lu Jinyuan’s story, didn’t say anything but took out his cell phone to call Liu Chong.
Lu Jinyuan sneakily glanced at Chen Fan and saw him making a call, thinking to himself that Mr. Chen must think he had made a grave error, and to avoid getting angry, was calling soone else to distract himself?
No matter what, from Mr. Chen’s deanor, he had no way to solve the problem.
Soon after, Chen Fan finished the call and said, "Let’s order a few dishes. I’m getting a little hungry."
Seeing Chen Fan completely avoid the issue he had just discussed, Lu Jinyuan beca even more convinced that Mr. Chen was angry and certainly had no way to solve the problem, which was why he was avoiding the topic.
He didn’t dare say anything else and quickly called the waiter to order a few dishes.
Before long, the waiter brought all their dishes, and Chen Fan ate with relish while Lu Jinyuan had no appetite at all and couldn’t be bothered to pick up his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Chen Fan said, "What are you doing just sitting there? Hurry up and eat, or it will get cold."
Lu Jinyuan gave an awkward smile and said, "I’m not hungry, Mr. Chen, you eat."
Chen Fan looked at Lu Jinyuan and could roughly guess what he was thinking, with a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, but he said nothing.
A little while later.
A slim figure in a suit with slightly graying hair, a middle-aged man entered the restaurant.
This person had a distinguished air about him, clearly a person of high rank, yet he appeared sowhat flustered at the mont. Upon entering the restaurant, he began looking around as if searching for sothing.
That’s when Lu Jinyuan noticed the middle-aged man, his eyes widened, "He... why is he here?"
Chen Fan turned to look and asked, "Who’s that?"
Lu Jinyuan said, "That man is the uncle of the staff mber I offended, nad Zhang Baifa, a leader of the Tianyuan Comrce Chamber. I had specially gone to ask him for help before, but was rudely turned away. Never expected to run into him here."
Zhang Baifa looked around for a while and quickly spotted Lu Jinyuan, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
Seeing this, Lu Jinyuan beca panicked, "Why is he coming over here? Don’t tell he wasn’t satisfied just throwing out that day and has co here especially to humiliate ?"
Chen Fan suppressed a laugh and continued eating.
Before long, Zhang Baifa approached Lu Jinyuan.
Lu Jinyuan’s face was tense as he said, "Director... Director Zhang, I know I’ve offended your nephew, and you didn’t like what you saw. You’ve already humiliated once in your office. If you’re still upset, there was no need to co here especially to find ."
But Zhang Baifa grasped Lu Jinyuan’s hand, his face all smiles as he said, "Director Lu, what are you talking about? I ca here specifically to apologize to you. I was too rude that day in the office, I have deeply realized my mistake, and I’ve accepted the derit the chairman issued to . As for my nephew, the chairman has already fired him. I hope Director Lu can be magnanimous and forgive !"
