Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone's hearts trembled fiercely.

Whether they understood business or not, they all knew that a monopoly was the most profitable!

"Because our Flame Dragon is just too large, I can't possibly acquire all the pharmaceutical companies by myself. I could only seek some friends, and those friends that I've sought, I believe you all have some understanding of them. Think about it, if this product wasn't profitable and didn't have significant benefits, would those people spare no effort to acquire pharmaceutical companies with me?" Jiang Chen said pointedly.

"Exactly, now several large financial conglomerates across the country are acquiring pharmaceutical companies, and... it's as if they've agreed on something. Each has a region, covering the entire Flame Dragon!"

"So these are all the chairman's friends!"

"Then there's definitely no problem! How could there be an issue with a product that so many companies recognize together!"

"Support! We must support!"

"Yes, yes, yes, absolute support!"

A chorus of supportive voices rose in the meeting room.

Although whether they supported it or not wouldn't change Jiang Chen's decision, he didn't want to cause too much turmoil. If this matter led to disunity within the company, that would not be so good!

"Good, that's all I have to say. Since President Ye said I'm a hands-off manager, I'll continue to be hands-off. You all carry on with the meeting!" Jiang Chen said with a smile as he stood up.

"Ha ha!"

"Chairman, take care!"

"Chairman, thank you for your hard work!"

The crowd laughed.

Just as Jiang Chen stood up to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Ye Jingyi, "Who is in charge of acquiring the pharmaceutical companies on the front line?"

"Oh, it's Sun Zhenfeng, President Sun!" Ye Jingyi pointed to a young man sitting in the third seat to the left.

Jiang Chen turned his head and his eyes flashed with surprise. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you that auctioneer?"

"Chairman, it's me, you still remember me!" Sun Zhenfeng said as he stood up with a smile.

He was the auctioneer that Jiang Chen impressed when he had been auctioning the Pill Furnace in S Province.

"Of course I remember. An auctioneer taking on acquisitions—those pharmaceutical company heads are in for it. You're quite adept at sales. Just reverse the techniques, and selling becomes acquiring!" Jiang Chen said with a light chuckle, taking a deep look at Sun Zhenfeng.

Sun Zhenfeng smiled slightly, his eyes reflecting confidence, and underneath that, a hint of suspicion.

"Come with me! Everyone else, continue with the meeting!" Jiang Chen called Sun Zhenfeng over and left the meeting room with him.

Leaving the meeting room, Jiang Chen and Sun Zhenfeng headed toward the office.

"I really did not expect that within my company, there would be a secret Semi Venerable Venerable Realm expert," Jiang Chen said quietly, glancing at Sun Zhenfeng as they walked.

Sun Zhenfeng was slightly startled and answered with a light chuckle, "I also did not expect Mr. Jiang's strength to improve so quickly!"

"Whose are you?" Jiang Chen continued walking towards the president's office, speaking as if making casual conversation.

Sun Zhenfeng replied as if talking about everyday things, "Which family I'm from isn't important!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "It might be, if you don't tell me, I can't let you stay in the company!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhenfeng stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at Jiang Chen with confusion, "Does Mr. Jiang have a grudge against the hidden families?"

"It's not that I have a grudge against the hidden families, but that there are some hidden families who want to have a grudge with Flame Dragon!"

Jiang Chen also stopped, turned his head, and looked Sun Zhenfeng in the eyes, "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jiang Chen, the chief instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team!"

"Dragon…"

Sun Zhenfeng was startled for a moment, then he immediately understood Jiang Chen's intention and said solemnly, "My family will absolutely not be enemies with Flame Dragon. We will only protect Flame Dragon. This is a family precept passed down from our ancestors, 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty'!"

"Serve the country with utmost loyalty?!" Jiang Chen's eyes widened in astonishment as he gazed at Sun Zhenfeng, his eyebrows slightly furrowing, "Your surname is Sun?"

"I'm not surnamed Sun; my mother bears the surname Sun. I've used my mother's surname because I ventured out into the world," Sun Zhenfeng explained.

"Understood! Let's go."

Jiang Chen nodded his head and gestured towards the CEO's office. The two then continued their walk towards the office.

...

CEO's office.

Song Wanqiu and Wang Zongming were sitting in the waiting area on the sofa, drinking tea.

"Miss, although I still can't discern Mr. Jiang's strength, judging by the importance Flame Dragon Group places on him, he must hold a considerable status within the Flame Dragon Group. The deadline we agreed on is approaching; should we...?" Wang Zongming tentatively looked at Song Wanqiu.

Song Wanqiu gently nodded, "Indeed, we should talk to Mr. Jiang soon… we can only rely on him now! Flame Dragon Group holds a rather unique position. It would be inappropriate for my grandfather to reach out to someone from Flame Dragon Group."

"Yes, that was exactly what we had in mind at the beginning, which is why we didn't ask the old master for help. We kept telling him to consider it further. Later on, after we found Mr. Jiang, we thought about making a venture investment, hoping that Mr. Jiang could grow quickly. But we never expected that in the end, we would still have to place our hopes in Flame Dragon Group!" Wang Zongming sighed, his expression a mixture of amusement and chagrin.

Song Wanqiu shook her head, "That's not necessarily the case. Mr. Jiang now is not the unknown person he once was; his connections are fully capable of shaking up that side. What's uncertain... is whether Mr. Jiang has the strength himself because if we can avoid conflict, it's better to do so!"

"Yes, after all, that side is..." Wang Zongming nodded, a wary look flashing in his eyes, then he suddenly furrowed his brows, stopped speaking halfway, and turned to look toward the office door.

Click!

The door to the office opened, and Jiang Chen walked in with Sun Zhenfeng.

Hmm?

Upon seeing Song Wanqiu on the sofa, Sun Zhenfeng was taken aback and glanced at Jiang Chen, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.

"Mr. Jiang, are you finished?" Song Wanqiu and the other rose to greet him.

"When is there ever a time I'm completely done?" Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, then turned and invited Sun Zhenfeng to sit: "Sit."

"This is the General Manager of my company in charge of acquiring medical companies, Sun Zhenfeng. This lady is Song Wanqiu, the young mistress of the Jincheng Song family; this gentleman is Song Miss's butler, Wang Zongming." Once they all sat down, Jiang Chen introduced them to each other.

"Hello, General Manager Sun!"

"Miss Song, Mr. Wang, hello!"

After exchanging greetings, they all turned their eyes to Jiang Chen.

"Miss Song, the attack Yi Chen suffered this time is related to them. They don't want us acquiring medical companies. They might have noticed something."

Jiang Chen's expression became serious as he got straight to the point, "Here's what I'm thinking: among us, you have the most ample funds, and your business is the least vulnerable to attacks. I'd like you to watch out for the other companies. If they can attack Yi Chen, it's very likely they'll attack the companies of others as well."

"I understand. I'll be vigilant," Song Wanqiu nodded seriously.

Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Sun Zhenfeng, "General Manager Sun, I'm going to need you to step up the acquisition pace. As I just discussed with Miss Song, one of our competitors is catching on. We can't proceed step by step anymore. Accelerate the acquisitions and try to complete them before they can respond!"

"Yes," Sun Zhenfeng nodded.

Jiang Chen took out his phone, found a chat group, and sent several messages.

"Mr. Jiang, I..." Song Wanqiu started to speak in a softened voice, glanced at Sun Zhenfeng, and hesitated.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and asked with curiosity, "What's wrong?"

"I... have some matters regarding hidden families that I wish to discuss with you," Song Wanqiu spoke softly.
