Tired from fighting, Brother Hu of Xicheng waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Someone, drag his car away and make space for Brother Long."
Soon, a Land Rover arrived and towed Bao Tong's Bentley aside.
"Uncle Hu, they hit my car," Bao Tong said aggrievedly, covering his face.
Brother Hu of Xicheng saw Bao Tong dare to speak and stepped forward, kicking him down and beating him again.
After a few kicks, Bao Tong's nose and mouth bled, and he fainted.
"Smash his car for me," Brother Hu of Xicheng roared, pointing at Bao Tong's car, panting.
Bai Gou, who came with Brother Hu of Xicheng, was the brother of Hei Gou. Hei Gou had his legs broken by Brother Hu of Xicheng for offending Long Xiao, so he worked very hard.
Soon, the Bentley was smashed into a pile of scrap metal. Brother Hu of Xicheng came to Long Xiao and said, "Brother Long, do you think this is handled properly?"
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Ah Hu, since you know each other, have someone send him to the hospital."
Brother Hu of Xicheng nodded and dispatched two people to drive the unconscious Bao Tong to the hospital.
Because Lin Xuan was present, Brother Hu of Xicheng did not mention anything related to Young Master Jin.
Brother Hu accompanied Long Xiao and Lin Xuan into the restaurant. Seeing Brother Hu of Xicheng, the waiter hurriedly called the manager.
Soon, the manager ran out, sweating profusely.
"Welcome Brother Hu and the two guests," the manager said with a smile.
Brother Hu of Xicheng nodded and said, "These two are my elder brother and sister-in-law. Open the private room 'Tian Zi Yi Hao' and serve the best dishes."
The manager nodded and went to make arrangements. Brother Hu of Xicheng accompanied Long Xiao and Lin Xuan to the 'Tian Zi Yi Hao' private room.
The room was very large and elegant. Upon opening the door, there was a path paved with pebbles, crossing a small bridge, leading directly to a small pavilion in the middle of the room.
Beneath the small bridge, the water flowed gently, with occasional colorful small fish swimming by. A gentle breeze blew around the pavilion, and bamboo leaves rustled.
"Brother Long, this private room is the best in the old restaurant. It's usually used to entertain distinguished guests and is rarely open to the public."
Long Xiao smiled and said, "The environment is good. You've been thoughtful, Ah Hu. My wife has left Lin Group. From now on, your Tian Yun Company and Lin's business will continue as usual; you don't need to take care of it anymore."
Brother Hu of Xicheng naturally understood Long Xiao's meaning and nodded, saying, "I understand. Previously, we settled shipping fees weekly. It will remain the same. If the shipping fees cannot be settled, there will be a ten percent daily interest, compounded."
Soon, the dishes were served. Long Xiao wanted Brother Hu of Xicheng to stay for dinner, but Brother Hu of Xicheng said, "No, Brother Long. I just caught someone and have to go back to deal with it."
Long Xiao knew Brother Hu of Xicheng was referring to Young Master Jin and nodded, saying, "Then go ahead and busy yourself. Keep him locked up for two days to let off some steam."
Long Xiao and Lin Xuan ate while planning to start a company.
Lin Group primarily dealt with pharmaceuticals and daily chemicals. Long Xiao understood medicine, so he suggested Lin Xuan start with pharmaceuticals and expand to other businesses later.
Building their own pharmaceutical factory would be slow. Lin Xuan knew of a pharmaceutical factory in the East Suburb that was on the verge of bankruptcy and wanted to acquire it to develop their own products.
"Wife, let's go take a look at the pharmaceutical factory tomorrow. If we can acquire it, we'll do it as soon as possible and get the factory running."
"Long Xiao, what medicine do you think we should produce first?" Lin Xuan asked.
Without suitable prescriptions, a pharmaceutical factory would be unable to develop.
The medicinal compendium of the "Dragon Scripture" contained many prescriptions with astonishing effects, but most of them required special materials that made mass production impossible.
After much deliberation, Long Xiao said, "Wife, when I was wandering with the old man, he sold medicine, and I remembered quite a few prescriptions. You don't need to worry about this."
Lin Xuan found Long Xiao's words unconvincing and felt a bit uneasy. However, with no other options, she could only choose to believe him.
The next morning, as Long Xiao returned from his morning exercise, Lin Xuan pulled him and they drove to the long-defunct pharmaceutical factory in the East Suburb.
After communicating with the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper called the owner. While waiting for the owner, they took a walk around the factory.
The factory yard was large, with two production workshops and a warehouse. The equipment in the production workshops was still in place and well-preserved.
More than an hour later, the factory owner drove over.
"You want to buy my pharmaceutical factory?" the factory owner asked, looking Lin Xuan up and down with a lecherous gaze and a smile.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, we want to buy a pharmaceutical factory, as long as the price is right."
The factory owner was in his early twenties, wearing a loose T-shirt, and looked friendly.
"Hello, beautiful. My name is Ji Lin. I'm from the Ji family of Donghai."
"Hello," Lin Xuan extended her hand and shook Ji Lin's, saying, "My name is Lin Xuan."
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's name, Ji Lin smiled and said, "So it's the famous Ms. Lin. I've heard for a long time that Ms. Lin is the most beautiful woman in Donghai's business circles."
Mid-sentence, Ji Lin seemed to recall something and looked at Long Xiao, asking, "Is this the infamous live-in son-in-law, the freeloader, of Donghai?"
Long Xiao said unhappily, "Young Master Ji, my wife and I are here to buy your pharmaceutical factory, not to be insulted by you."
Ji Lin laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I misspoke, hehe. The pharmaceutical factory is negotiable. Ms. Lin, how about we find a place to have a drink and talk slowly?"
Lin Xuan shook her head and said, "No need. If Young Master Ji wants to sell this pharmaceutical factory, let's talk now. If not, we'll forget it."
The moment Ji Lin saw Lin Xuan, he felt his heart flutter. Lin Xuan was as beautiful as a celestial being; such a woman should not be possessed by a loser like Long Xiao.
"Ms. Lin, how about I host tonight at the Donghai Hotel? We can talk about the acquisition then."
Lin Xuan saw that Ji Lin only wanted to have dinner with her and not discuss selling the pharmaceutical factory, knowing he had ulterior motives. She shook her head and said, "Young Master Ji, I don't have time to go out for dinner with you. If you don't want to sell the pharmaceutical factory, then forget it."
Lin Xuan pulled Long Xiao to leave. Ji Lin stepped forward to block their path and said, "Ms. Lin, let's talk slowly."
Long Xiao's face darkened and he said, "Young Master Ji, don't block our way. Get lost."
Ji Lin saw that Long Xiao was being impolite to him and snorted, "What are you, a freeloader, being so arrogant for? If you anger me, you'll regret it."
Long Xiao didn't want to fight in front of Lin Xuan, so he led Lin Xuan around Ji Lin and walked towards their car.
Watching their retreating backs, Ji Lin swallowed and muttered to himself, "This is truly a flower stuck in cow dung. Lin Xuan, just you wait. I will definitely get you."
