Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

After listening to Chen Yang's words, Wei Yuan was stunned for several seconds. Then, he shook his head with a wry smile, a smile filled with utter helplessness and a hint of inexplicable... apprehension.

“Mr. Chen,” he began slowly, his voice filled with bitterness, “I must say, you have a really sharp eye.” He sighed, “That piece of meat has a lot of people eyeing it.”

"Let's not talk about the distant ones, let's talk about the recent ones—Jiangcheng No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory. We've been trying to take over that factory since last year. We've pulled so many strings and submitted so many reports, but it still hasn't been approved."

He looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression: "Do you know why?"

Chen Yang didn't speak, he just looked at him quietly.

Wei Yuan continued speaking to himself: "Because that factory involves too many aspects. Land, assets, debts, personnel resettlement... every link is troublesome."

"Several departments worked together, conducted repeated assessments, and held countless meetings, but there's still no result." He spread his hands, looking helpless: "The most crucial thing is, this matter isn't under my jurisdiction!"

Director Li nodded repeatedly, echoing, "Boss Chen, what Secretary Wei said is true."

"Our main responsibility here is supervision and inspection; we are part of the medical system."

"The factory you mentioned involves state-owned assets, industrial land, and enterprise restructuring... These are not within Secretary Wei's jurisdiction."

He paused, thought for a moment, and then emphasized, "Boss Chen, let alone Secretary Wei, even your father-in-law, Secretary Fang, couldn't solve this problem."

"It requires collaboration from several departments, followed by evaluation, before a final decision can be made."

Fang Ziwei listened in bed, nodding inwardly to herself; Director Li was right.

Such a large pharmaceutical factory, with assets in the tens of millions, involves so many aspects, that it's not something one person or department can decide on its own. It requires the joint efforts of multiple departments at the provincial and municipal levels, layer-by-layer approvals, asset assessments, debt settlements, worker resettlement... It simply can't be resolved in less than a year and a half.

She glanced at Chen Yang furtively, feeling a little worried.

Bro, your appetite is way too big! This is simply impossible...

After listening to Wei Yuan's words, Chen Yang remained silent for a few seconds. Then, he stroked his chin, nodded, and smiled with understanding: "Secretary Wei is right, it was my oversight."

"Such a big matter is definitely not something one person can decide alone, I understand."

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Wei Yuan felt relieved and a grateful smile appeared on his face: "It's good that Boss Chen understands..."

Chen Yang waved his hand, interrupting him: "In that case, I'll change the terms. Secretary Wei can definitely do it for something of equal value."

Wei Yuan's smile suddenly froze. Looking at Chen Yang's smiling face, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. What kind of trouble is this kid going to cause this time?

This time, he dared not make any more promises, and cautiously said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yang didn't speak immediately. He lowered his head and gently flicked the dust off his pants, a very leisurely gesture.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Wei Yuan, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Seize Kangjian Medical!"

what?

Wei Yuan and Director Li were both stunned.

The two stared wide-eyed at Chen Yang, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Fang Ziwei, lying in bed, almost screamed. She desperately suppressed a laugh, barely managing to stifle a gasp. But inside, her mind was in turmoil—

So that's where I was waiting for them!

He was setting a trap from the very beginning!

First, propose a condition they can't possibly agree to—the abandoned pharmaceutical factory. Once they refuse, then reveal the real target—Cha Kangjian Medical!

In this way, Wei Yuan and Director Li would find the second condition much more acceptable than the first!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Chen Yang spread his hands, looking extremely innocent: "What? Are you in a dilemma?"

His voice suddenly turned cold: "Oh, investigate our Ziyang Medical, and we can find all sorts of problems in five minutes."

"Once you're at Kangjian Medical, everything will be fine?"

Wei Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

Chen Yang looked at him, his smile unchanged, but now tinged with a chilling coldness: "Secretary Wei, didn't you just say you'd give me all the orders next year?"

“Now I’m going to think about it differently—if you take down Kangjian Medical, all their orders will be mine, right?” He chuckled and spread his hands. “Wasn’t this your suggestion? I just moved the timeline forward by a year.”

Wei Yuan's face turned a deep purplish-red. He hadn't expected Chen Yang to be waiting for him here. He had indeed said he would give Chen Yang an order next year, but that was just an empty promise, a pie in the sky.

But now, Chen Yang has turned that pie in the sky into a concrete demand—

You want to place orders, right? Fine, then snatch Kangjian Medical's orders and give them to me; as for how to snatch them? That's your business.

Aren't you the deputy secretary? Don't you have the authority? Go investigate!

The most difficult part is that this is within Secretary Wei's jurisdiction!

Cold sweat began to bead on Wei Yuan's forehead. Director Li, standing beside him, grew anxious and frowned, saying, "Mr. Chen, these terms... Kangjian Medical... they have partnerships with many hospitals. It's too hasty to investigate..."

Chen Yang looked at him, his smile unchanged: "Rash? Director Li, I don't like hearing that." His voice turned cold: "When you investigated our Ziyang, didn't you feel it was rash?"

"They shut down operations without warning and investigated without even giving us a heads-up. Now that it's Kangjian Medical, they're acting so rashly?"

Director Li was speechless.

“No… this isn’t it…” Wei Yuan coughed lightly twice. “Mr. Chen, this is… this is too sudden.”

Wei Yuan gave a wry smile. "Although I understand how you feel, this kind of trouble isn't something you can just create at will. Besides..." As he spoke, Wei Yuan secretly glanced at Director Li.

Director Li immediately understood Wei Yuan's meaning and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

“Boss Chen, Secretary Wei is right,” Director Li sighed. “Besides, the higher-ups are pressing us hard right now. Why don’t we get the factory up and running again…?”

"Hehehe," Chen Yang smirked, "You two are in a hurry to get the factory back to production? That's easy!"

Chen Yang clapped his hands. "It only took you five minutes to investigate our Ziyang. I'll give you a whole morning. That should be enough time to investigate Kangjian Medical, right?"

As he spoke, he slapped his thigh, "As soon as they seal off their side, I'll immediately resume production here!"

"This..." Wei Yuan and Director Li exchanged a glance. A whole morning? This must be a joke!

Chen Yang stopped looking at them, stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to the two of them.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, gilding his silhouette with a silvery edge. His back looked both lonely and stubborn.

“Secretary Wei, Director Li,” his voice came from the window, deep and cold, “I won’t make things difficult for you.” He turned around, looked at the two men, and held up two fingers: “Two conditions.”

"First, grant the approval to Ziyang for that abandoned pharmaceutical factory on Baojian Road. This is compensation."

"Second, seize Kangjian Medical and transfer all of their orders for this year to Ziyang. This is to fulfill your promise."

Chen Yang lowered his hand, stared into Wei Yuan's eyes, and said, word by word, "You have two conditions, choose one."

"Whether you want Ziyang Medical to resume production is your choice!"

Wei Yuan and Director Li sat there, speechless. The room was eerily quiet, with only the ticking of the wall clock.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Sweat streamed down Wei Yuan's forehead and cheeks. Two conditions were fiercely battling in his mind—

The first condition, wanting that abandoned pharmaceutical factory, was impossible. Too many departments and too many interests were involved; it was simply beyond his control.

The second condition, investigating Kangjian Medical... that's something he can do. After all, he's the deputy secretary in charge of medical affairs, and investigating a medical company is within his authority.

but……

Kangjian Medical... is not so easy to deal with. Kangjian Medical has partnerships with so many hospitals, and if an investigation is launched, it will have far-reaching consequences...

He looked up at Chen Yang. Chen Yang stood there, looking down at him with a faint smile on his lips.

That smile seemed to say: Choose, let's see what you choose.

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth, slowly stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and Director Li quickly followed.

The two walked out of the bedroom, down the stairs, and out of the small building. Standing in front of the building, Wei Yuan turned around and looked at the window upstairs with the light on, remaining silent for a long time.

Director Li asked cautiously, "Secretary Wei, what... should we do?"

Wei Yuan remained silent for several seconds, then stamped his foot and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Investigate! Investigate Kangjian Medical!"

Director Li was stunned: "Secretary Wei, this..."

Wei Yuan waved his hand, interrupting him: "What can we do if we don't investigate? Are we supposed to target that pharmaceutical factory? That's even more impossible!"

He took a deep breath, his tone becoming firm: "Kangjian Medical is no good either. Zhou Yongnian, that guy, he's definitely not clean."

"We have every reason and evidence to investigate him!"

Director Li nodded, not daring to say anything more. The two got into the car and disappeared into the night.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Fang Ziwei poked her head out from under the covers, her eyes wide open and her mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"elder brother……"

Chen Yang walked back to the bedside, looked at her silly expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong? You must be hungry. I heard your stomach growling just now."

"Luckily, those two weren't sitting here, or they would have heard everything!"

Fang Ziwei grabbed his hand, her voice trembling, "You...you're too cruel! You actually let them investigate Kangjian Medical!"

Chen Yang smiled at Fang Ziwei, "What? Feeling sorry for them?"

Fang Ziwei shook her head, so excited she was incoherent: "No! I mean... how did you come up with this? You were planning this from the very beginning, weren't you?"

Chen Yang sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her: "It wasn't exactly a design, it's just... when they shut down our factory, they should have thought this day would come."

Fang Ziwei looked at him with eyes full of admiration: "Brother, you're amazing! I thought you were ruthless enough to take that pharmaceutical factory, but I didn't expect you had another trick up your sleeve!"

Chen Yang laughed and gently pinched her cheek: "That pharmaceutical factory was just a feint. It would be strange if they gave us such a big factory!"

Fang Ziwei stared at Chen Yang for several seconds, then she understood everything. The moment Chen Yang learned about the matter, he had already planned everything.

Fang Ziwei hugged Chen Yang: "Brother, you're so smart! I love you to death!"

Chen Yang was nearly knocked over by her tackle, and quickly grabbed the edge of the bed, saying, "Hey, hey, be careful!"

"I've noticed you've gotten heavier; you need to lose weight!"

"No way!" Fang Ziwei hugged Chen Yang happily. "Brother, carry me downstairs, I want to eat prawns!"
