I can support you.

"Little idiot, although I know you have your own ideas and I shouldn't interfere too much, I still want to say that the stock market is risky and you should be cautious when investing."

Long Junyi's tone was serious, full of concern and worry.

Xue Pianpian thought for a moment and said:

“I know, Long Junyi, I won’t get involved in this again.

In fact, it’s not just stock trading. I have other ways to make money, but I can’t tell you about them for now.

But don't worry, I will never do anything illegal. I guarantee that every penny I earn is reasonable, reasonable, and legal. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. I hope you can understand."

Long Junyi was silent for a few seconds, and the seriousness in his tone gradually softened, becoming less worried and more indulgent.

"I'm not trying to check on you, nor am I worried about your sense of propriety. I just don't want you to work too hard for money. Since you already know what's going on, I won't ask any more questions."

He paused, and his voice became softer:

"No matter how you make money, don't overwork yourself. If you encounter something you can't handle, don't force yourself to do it. Remember, I'm here for you. It doesn't matter how much money you make, as long as you're safe and sound."

Xue Pianpian held the phone, the temperature of her fingertips slowly warmed up, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously:

"I know. Why are you nagging like my parents?"

Although he said it with disgust, his tone was full of smiles.

"I'm just worried that something might happen to you, my little nympho."

Long Junyi's laughter came through the receiver, with a familiar doting tone.

"Okay, eat quickly and go home early after eating. Don't let your parents worry about you."

Xue Pianpian smiled and replied:

"Okay, you too. Drive slowly and be safe. Say hello to Grandpa, Uncle, and Auntie!"

Xue Pianpian hung up the phone and waved to Zhang Kexin. The little girl walked over quickly and the two walked out of the restaurant side by side.

"Boss, Mr. Wei from Wenyuan Technology wants to treat you to a meal. Do you have time?"

“Tell him that if he has anything to say, he can just tell you directly, forget about eating.

I have to go to Kyoto tomorrow and I guess it will take about a week before I can come back."

"boss,"

Zhang Kexin said a little tangled,

"I think Mr. Wei's intentions are not pure."

Xue Pianpian looked at her in surprise and asked:

"What does that mean? Does he have any other purpose?"

Zhang Kexin nodded helplessly and said:

"He has called me several times, and I have conveyed your meaning very clearly, but he still keeps calling. He also said that if you continue to avoid him like this, he will ask his uncle to make things difficult for our Xinghan."

"Is he talking about Deputy Mayor Liu?"

Xue Pianpian raised her eyebrows, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. She didn't stop walking, but her voice became a little deeper:

"He does have connections, but does he think he can control Xinghan with just these connections? He's too naive."

Zhang Kexin followed beside him, frowning a little worriedly:

"Should we make some preparations first? What if Deputy Mayor Liu really helps him..."

"rest assured."

Xue Pianpian raised her hand and patted her shoulder, her tone firm.

"Deputy Mayor Liu has always valued his reputation and would not risk his career for a nephew's personal grudge.

Our Xinghan has a place not only in Z City, but also in the national medical research and development sector. If Deputy Mayor Liu wants to make a move, he will probably have to think carefully.

Besides, even if he really dares to be so reckless, I have a way to deal with it. Feel free to convey my opinion boldly. If that doesn't work, just block him directly."

She paused and added:

"If he calls again, remember to record it, especially highlighting his mention of Vice Mayor Liu."

Zhang Kexin nodded.

"Okay, boss, I'll book the tickets right away. How many tickets do you need?"

"I've already booked it. My sister, Chen Yu, and I will be the only three of us to go."

The two walked to the parking lot. Xue Pianpian opened the car door and turned back to remind them:

"Pay close attention to Wenyuan's movements over the next few days. If you find anything unusual, call me immediately."

"Okay, boss, don't worry!"

Zhang Kexin nodded vigorously, got into the driver's seat, started the car and drove towards the villa area.

Wei Wenyuan sat on the leather sofa in his living room. The cigarette between his fingertips burned to the end, burning so much that he pulled his hand back before he suddenly came to his senses.

His eyes fell on the number on the phone screen with the note "Zhang Kexin (Xinghan)". His face instantly darkened and he pressed the cigarette butt hard into the crystal ashtray, making a slight "sizzle" sound.

The scene of the corporate exchange conference last week came to mind again - Xue Pianpian, wearing a neatly tailored white suit, stood on the stage to introduce the new drug research and development results of Xinghan Bio. The light fell on her face, making her skin look whiter than snow. Her eyebrows and eyes showed both the entrepreneurial competence and a bit of cold beauty.

With just that one glance, Wei Wenyuan felt as if his soul had been bewitched. After returning home, he tossed and turned, his mind full of her image. He even dreamed of standing side by side with her at night.

He used several connections to get the contact information of "Xue Pianpian" from the conference organizer, but after calling the number, he found out that it was the number of her assistant Zhang Kexin.

The first time he called, he deliberately softened his tone and said he wanted to invite Ms. Xue to dinner to discuss cooperation. Zhang Kexin, the little girl, replied softly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, but Ms. Xue's schedule is very full recently and she doesn't have time for the moment."

He waited patiently for three days and called again, but received the same reply.

After two more fights, Zhang Kexin's tone remained polite, but a little more distant, obviously seeing through his ulterior motives.

"No time? I think you're avoiding me on purpose!"

Wei Wenyuan scratched his hair irritably, his anger growing stronger and stronger.

His Wei family's Wenyuan Technology is quite famous in City Z, and there are many women around him who are courting him, but he just fell in love with Xue Pianpian. Unexpectedly, she refused to even meet him.

After staring at the phone for a while, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind - his uncle Liu Chenglin is the deputy mayor of City Z. Xinghan Biotechnology is developing in City Z, and it cannot be completely without any connection with the municipal government.

As long as he could get his uncle to come forward and give Xinghan some "little trouble," like asking him to give him some extra "attention" during corporate compliance inspections or delaying project approvals, Xue Pianpian would definitely come looking for him! By then, if he acted like a gentleman, wouldn't he still be afraid of not being able to win her over?

Thinking of this, Wei Wenyuan immediately found his uncle's number and called him. He pretended to be aggrieved:

"Uncle, I'm in trouble and I want your help."

Liu Chenglin was processing documents in the office. He frowned when he heard him say this:

"What's the matter? What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"

"It's not that I'm causing trouble. I just wanted to treat someone to a meal, but they kept saying they were busy."

Wei Wenyuan quickly said,

"It's Xue Pianpian, the female boss of Xinghan Biotechnology. Could you please say hello to the people below and let them know how important our company is? Don't be so disrespectful."

He originally thought that his uncle would agree immediately. After all, this little matter was just a matter of words for the deputy mayor.

But there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and suddenly Liu Chenglin's serious voice came:

"Wenyuan, stop overthinking! Xue Pianpian is not someone you can mess with. Put this thought away!"

Wei Wenyuan was stunned, thinking he had misheard:

"Uncle, what are you talking about? She runs a company, how could she surpass you, the deputy mayor, no matter how powerful she is?"

"What do you know!"

Liu Chenglin's tone became even more serious.

"Among Xinghan's recent partners is Kyoto's Haoting Group. Don't you know what Haoting Group is like? Furthermore, Xue Pianpian has extensive connections in the biopharmaceutical field. Even provincial leaders value Xinghan's R&D projects. If you dare to put pressure on her with ulterior motives, you will only end up hurting yourself and even our family!"

The phone in Wei Wenyuan's hand slid onto the sofa with a "click", and he was completely stunned.

Jingdu Haoting? That's a large financial group that ranks among the best in the country. How come he has never heard that Xue Pianpian has anything to do with Haoting?

Liu Chenglin was still admonishing on the phone:

"I'm warning you, don't try to get your hands on Xue Pianpian again, and don't provoke Xinghan. Just focus on making Wenyuan Technology stronger and bigger. If I find out you're messing around, I won't forgive you!"

The call was hung up and a busy tone came from the receiver.

Wei Wenyuan sat on the sofa in a daze. The arrogance he had just shown disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only shock and fear in his heart.

He stared at the phone that fell on the sofa, and suddenly felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were - he thought he held the trump card, but he didn't expect that the other party's background was completely beyond his reach.
