"Ding—"
A minute later, with a soft sound, the elevator arrived at the top floor and stopped, the doors slowly opening.
"Mr. Yan, your arrival truly brings glory to the Su Group!"
At the elevator entrance, Su Shiwei and Su Yuanshan waited together.
Su Shiwei, seeing Yan Xin emerge from the elevator, was the first to step forward, bowing slightly with a fawning expression, offering a compliment. At the same time, he extended both hands, intending to shake Yan Xin's hand.
Although he didn't know Yan Xin's purpose for visiting today, for the Su Group, whatever Yan Xin's intentions, the entire staff needed to show extreme deference!
This was because Yan Xin was the general manager of the Jiangnan branch of Longteng Pharmaceuticals, a titan of the entire Jiangnan pharmaceutical industry!
"Hello, President Su."
Yan Xin grasped Su Shiwei's hands and responded politely.
Hearing the polite address, Su Shiwei's heart bloomed—when had Yan Xin ever been so courteous to him?
Courteous?
Yes!
Yan Xin released Su Shiwei's hands, then walked proactively to Su Yuanshan, bowing slightly, and clasped Su Yuanshan's hand, asking with concern, "Old Su, it's been a while. How is your health?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Yan."
Su Yuanshan was initially startled, then responded, but an undeniable confusion flickered across his features.
Not just him; seeing Yan Xin bowing and scraping before Su Yuanshan, even the self-satisfied Su Shiwei and Su Li found it odd—Yan Xin was acting too strangely today!
"Mr. Yan, please."
Amidst his confusion, Su Yuanshan made a welcoming gesture, inviting Yan Xin to his office.
"Certainly, Old Su."
Yan Xin politely allowed Su Yuanshan to walk ahead.
Su Shiwei followed behind Yan Xin, and Su Li also tagged along obediently.
Under normal circumstances, Su Li would not have been qualified to be present when Su Yuanshan or Su Shiwei met important guests.
However, for Su Li, whether it was invitations to gatherings of the influential young elites of Su Jiang or Yan Xin's polite demeanor just now, it had made her feel exceptionally important, and she momentarily forgot her place.
Seeing Su Li following, Su Yuanshan found it awkward to dismiss her, so he said, "Little Li, go make Mr. Yan a cup of tea."
"Old Su, there's no need for such formality."
Yan Xin hastily waved his hand in refusal. Before Su Yuanshan could respond, he eagerly asked, "By the way, Old Su, is your granddaughter, Miss Su Shiyun, in the company?"
"Yes."
Su Yuanshan first replied to Yan Xin, then asked with some surprise, "Mr. Yan, are you here to see Shiyun?"
In that instant, Su Shiwei and Su Li's gazes turned to Yan Xin, their expressions filled with confusion.
"Yes, Old Su, I am looking for Miss Su Shiyun."
Yan Xin nodded. If it weren't for Su Shiyun, why would he have traveled all the way from Jinling to this place?
"Uh..."
Hearing Yan Xin's answer, both Su Yuanshan and the father-daughter duo, Su Shiwei and Su Li, were stunned!
Although they had all speculated about the purpose of Yan Xin's visit to the Su Group in their hearts, and had considered many possibilities, none of them had ever imagined that Yan Xin was here to see Su Shiyun!
After all, Su Shiyun had only returned to Su Jiang from Guishan yesterday, and Guishan had no pharmaceutical companies, offering no opportunity for her to meet Yan Xin.
In fact, in their eyes, Su Shiyun, before returning to the Su family, was like someone from a different world compared to Yan Xin; meeting him would have been an incredibly difficult task!
"Mr. Yan, I will call now and ask Shiyun to come over."
Although Su Yuanshan was deeply shocked, having experienced many ups and downs in his life, his composure was still quite good. He was the first to regain his senses.
He didn't know what Yan Xin wanted with Su Shiyun, but since Yan Xin wanted to see her, he naturally had to summon her.
Let alone the Su family's current decline, even during its peak, they wouldn't have had the capital to offend Yan Xin.
After all, Yan Xin was backed by Longteng Pharmaceuticals!
"No need, Old Su, let's go to Miss Su Shiyun's office together!"
Yan Xin quickly stood up to stop Su Yuanshan from making the call.
What a joke.
Did he dare wait here for Su Shiyun to come see him?
What if Su Shiyun thought he was putting on airs and refused to sign the contract?
What if Su Shiyun was a woman with connections to Li Shanglai or the Li family and complained about him later?
"We're going over?"
Su Yuanshan looked astonished, doubting he had heard correctly.
"Yes, Old Su."
Yan Xin said, standing up directly. He wanted to meet Su Shiyun as soon as possible and sign the contract with her according to Li Shanglai's instructions.
"Good... good."
Su Yuanshan quickly nodded.
Although he didn't know Yan Xin's purpose in seeking out Su Shiyun, he didn't ask further questions.
Because, from Yan Xin's words just now, he could infer that Yan Xin had no ill intentions in coming to see Su Shiyun!
In fact, a thought flashed through his mind that he couldn't quite believe.
"Could it be that Yan Xin was brought in by Shiyun to help the Su Group solve its problems?"
Not only him, but the father-daughter duo, Su Shiwei and Su Li, also harbored this strange thought at that moment.
Impossible!
Immediately after, the two almost simultaneously dismissed this possibility in their hearts.
They would rather believe that a sow could climb trees than believe this!
...
Su Shiyun had only returned to her office not long ago.
To be precise, she had entered her office five minutes before Yan Xin arrived at the Su Group.
After attending the board meeting that morning, she had a simple lunch in the company cafeteria and then, with her assistant, went to the industrial park's production workshops to investigate and find issues with the raw material production.
All of this was because she knew that without resolving the Su Group's raw material problems, it would be difficult to maintain the company's stock price for long.
"There are no issues with the company's raw materials. Yet several pharmaceutical companies simultaneously issued statements claiming our raw materials are problematic. Not only are they terminating cooperation, but they are also suing the company. This is likely a conspiracy. Therefore, grandfather and the others went to negotiate with those pharmaceutical companies, even offering concessions, but they couldn't change their decision.
If it's a conspiracy, then only by cooperating with Longteng Pharmaceuticals, which is larger than those pharmaceutical companies, can the problem be solved.
However, given that the Su Group has been exposed for having raw material issues and is being sued by those pharmaceutical companies, how would Longteng Pharmaceuticals possibly cooperate with the Su Group?"
Su Shiyun stood by the window, deep in thought, her delicate brows completely furrowed into a sharp line.
Reason told her that under the current circumstances, getting the Su Group to cooperate with Longteng Pharmaceuticals was undoubtedly harder than reaching the heavens!
"Shiyun!"
Just as Su Shiyun was at a loss, a familiar voice rang out.
Hearing the voice, Su Shiyun instinctively turned. She saw the door to her office being pushed open. Su Yuanshan, accompanied by an unfamiliar middle-aged man, and Su Shiwei and Su Li trailing behind like clingy children.
This made her realize that the middle-aged man's identity was unusual, and she was also a bit confused: Why was grandfather bringing this unfamiliar middle-aged man to see her?
"Shiyun, this is..."
Su Yuanshan noticed Su Shiyun's confusion and began to introduce Yan Xin.
However—
Before Su Yuanshan could state Yan Xin's identity, Yan Xin broke into a quick stride and rushed towards Su Shiyun.
What was he going to do?
At this moment, be it Su Yuanshan, Su Shiwei, Su Li, or even Su Shiyun, their minds were instantly occupied by this question!
The next moment.
The answer was revealed.
The big shot who had smiled at Su Li and made her feel like she had reached the pinnacle of her life, the titan of the Jiangnan pharmaceutical industry whom Su Yuanshan and Su Shiwei had respectfully waited for at the elevator entrance, stopped about a meter away from Su Shiyun. Then, respectfully, he slowly bent his back.
He bowed ninety degrees to Su Shiyun and spoke excitedly.
"Respected Miss Su Shiyun, Yan Xin feels deeply honored to have the opportunity to meet you today!"
