When Cen Yu'an left, the bar's music changed to faster-paced electronic music, and the lights changed accordingly.

Li Chensu and the others were also expressing their emotions through dance.

She looked back at the people inside, some born with a silver spoon in their mouths, others already in high positions—each of them representing the future of an industry in Shanghai or even China.

Even Li Chensu and Tao Li couldn't truly understand Cen Yu'an's desire for ordinary people to be able to sit at the table and have "food" to eat.

She wanted to orchestrate this scheme carefully, and everyone involved, along with their families and businesses, needed to be thoroughly considered.

As Cen Yu'an walked to the door in deep thought, she was suddenly stopped by Zhou Mingtang and his bodyguards.

"What does Mr. Zhou mean by this?"

"I'd like to ask President Cen what he means. Isn't tonight supposed to be a business cooperation party disguised as a game event? What, does President Cen prefer those rabble inside to the powerful Mingtang Creatures?"

Zhou Mingtang exerted absolute pressure on Cen Yu'an.

Cen Yu'an, however, dismissed it with disdain:

"Since President Zhou has investigated, he should know that Huashu Biotechnology does not necessarily need to find a partner."

"Hehehehe!" Zhou Mingtang's typical rich man's laughter seemed to be mocking Cen Yu'an's overestimation of her abilities, or perhaps he didn't care much about what she said. In any case, it made her very uncomfortable.

"Please excuse me, Mr. Zhou, I have some things to take care of back at the company."

"President Cen!" Zhou Mingtang reached out to stop him again: "President Cen, please think carefully about whether Huashu Biotechnology can take on this lucrative opportunity."

"Then there's no need for Mr. Zhou to trouble himself. Also, please pull your hand back. If you wait another minute, I can't guarantee whether you'll be able to keep your hand."

"Pretentious!"

Although Zhou Mingtang said he didn't care, he withdrew his hand faster than anything else.

He hadn't truly investigated the power behind Hua Shu Group; he simply assumed Cen Yu'an had no power because Hua Shu hadn't taken the path of accumulating wealth on a large scale.

After all, who among those who have enjoyed the benefits of capital would be willing to serve the underprivileged so wholeheartedly?

Zhou Mingtang couldn't understand Cen Yu'an's magnanimity and kindness, so he categorized her as someone who made money by being clever but actually had nothing to rely on.

As for the fact that the superior's assistant had opened doors of convenience for Huashu Biotechnology, which he discovered, Zhou Mingtang didn't care at all.

If the commander could change anything with his methods, his Mingtang creatures would have been wiped out long ago.

Even emperors in ancient times, who held the power of life and death, could still be sidelined by their ministers; how much more so today?

China's national conditions are inherently complex; a one-size-fits-all approach will cause major problems, and so will taking a more thorough approach.

Various forces are causing trouble. Zhou Mingtang has at least five parties protecting him. His superiors and his own faction alone cannot do anything to him.

Therefore, Zhou Mingtang dared to ask Huashu Biotechnology directly for its new drug.

However, to his surprise, Cen Yu'an was so assertive that she refused to back down an inch.

He had intended to take action directly, but Cen Yu'an's calm demeanor made him instantly suspect that Hua Shu must have some powerful force protecting her.

"Instead of eyeing our new drug, Mr. Zhou, you should pay more attention to this batch of drugs that haven't undergone clinical trials. What if they fail?"

"You know?" Zhou Mingtang's face darkened, and he was about to make another move.

Cen Yu'an was too lazy to deal with him, so she simply tapped a few times on her phone using a special technique.

The mercenaries trained by X Venture Capital instantly surrounded them from all directions.
