Half an hour later, Li Zishen and Li Weilian, along with Chen Xin, were seated around a round table, with the hot pot boiling in the middle, emitting a strong fragrance.
They chatted about the shopping center for a while, and then talked about pharmaceutical research, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
"This way, there will definitely be no problem!"
Li Zishen’s eyes twinkled as he smiled at Li Weilian, "Yes, the market response for Jing Wushuang has been quite good. I hope 8028’s hard work will receive the same reward."
Li Zishen had always had high hopes for 8028; it was his father’s dying wish.
Li Weilian nodded, a hint of unwillingness to be outdone in his eyes, "Just wait and treat me to a big meal, it won’t be long... 8028 will absolutely surpass Jing Wushuang. I don’t believe it can’t!"
A burst of hearty laughter followed.
Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn’t help frowning slightly. He remembered the late Lin Ping, the girl who grew up with him, who was also competitive.
He silently lamented in his heart, "Lin Ping, if you had just kept to your duty, not harmed Lady Tang, Brother Shen would never have fired you! You would still be alive, and Jing Wushuang’s success would have been yours too."
With a drink in him, Chen Xin’s eyes were slightly red, filled with unspeakable guilt and pain.
If he had noticed Lin Ping’s abnormality earlier and persuaded her together with Bai Long, perhaps everything could have been avoided. They could still be like before, lifting glasses together in their spare time.
But unfortunately, there are no ifs, and there’s no turning back!
Li Zishen picked up a lighter, lit a cigarette, and with a calm demeanor, took a deep drag. The smoke rose slowly around his lips, then gradually dispersed.
He naturally knew what Chen Xin was thinking.
Li Zishen flicked the ash and comforted with a gentle voice, "Chen Xin, the past cannot be changed, we can only look forward."
The past? Are you talking about Lin Ping?
Ah, such a young medical doctor, truly a pity!
Greed leads to overreaching, indeed.
Chen Xin lifted his head, his eyes brimming with tears, and said with a slight tremble, "I know, thank you, Brother Shen, I just feel... it’s quite regrettable."
If he hadn’t been drinking, his character would definitely have prevented such a lapse.
Li Weilian watched them, adding kindly, "Chen Xin, we are a team. The mistakes of the past can only alert us, making us cherish the present more and make the right choices."
"Right, exactly!" Chen Xin nodded in agreement, then firmly looked at Li Zishen.
After a brief pause, they resumed their discussion on the drug launch, continued placing ingredients into the hot pot, and enjoyed the sounds and appealing aroma of their bubbling.
"We need to increase the intensity of our market promotions, to let more people know about and trust our brand, especially 8028. It needs more attention."
Li Weilian spoke eagerly, "Indeed, actually Jing Wushuang might consider collaborating with beauty salons, not necessarily just focusing on pharmacies and hospitals. We could expand our sales channels. Regarding 8028, we should first test the waters with social media, considering it was out of production for over twenty years."
"Change its name?" Chen Xin interjected.
"I’ve also thought about this issue, but..."
At that moment, a ringtone interrupted Li Zishen’s thoughts.
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...
After answering the phone, an ecstatic voice from Bai Long came through, "Brother Shen, the agreement has been reached, that piece of land is ours."
Li Zishen’s heart filled with joy as he replied with a sparkle in his eyes, "Great, that’s fantastic! Well done, Bai Long, you’ve worked hard these past few days!"
"Not hard, you planned well, Brother Shen."
Li Zishen nodded and responded, "Hurry up with the paperwork, let the construction start as soon as possible." Read complete versıon only at ɴovelfire.net
"Yes, Brother Shen, don’t worry."
After hanging up, Chen Xin and Li Weilian nodded to each other understandingly, both filled with hope and confidence for the future of the company.
The ingredients in the hot pot had been cooked to a delicious state, they continued savoring the food while discussing the drug launch and the future plans and management of the Yishen Mall.
Li Zishen took a sip of tea, looking seriously at Chen Xin, "The shopping center is a very important project under our group... Chen Xin, it’s all on you. You must ensure that the shopping environment and service quality... make the customers feel comfortable and satisfied."
Chen Xin nodded confidently, responding, "Don’t worry, Brother Shen, no problem."
Achieving goals required not only financial resources but also operational expertise, a truth Li Zishen knew well.
