The matters discussed at the meeting have already been decided. ↖

After all, the Sujiang Group has been cooperating with Yuanbang Pharmaceutical for so many years. Although Song Peng'an has always been unable to get closer to Zhu Rongqiang, the senior executives of Yuanbang Pharmaceutical have always been his honored guests, and their relationship has been maintained very well.

By around seven o'clock in the evening, Li Hanzhen, one of the vice presidents of Yuanbang Pharmaceutical, who had already returned home, sat on the sofa hesitating for a long time. But in the end, he took out his phone and called Song Peng'an...

Song Peng'an, who was still chatting and laughing with Wang Jinwang in a private room at the Jinzhou Tianhong Hotel, smiled even more when he received Li Hanzhen's call... After Li Hanzhen's son went abroad for studies, Song Peng'an had taken care of him a lot.

Li Hanzhen and Song Peng'an have always had a very good relationship. Over the years, they have developed a good impression of each other.

He casually picked up the phone and said with a smile, "Hello, President Li. You, a busy person, are calling me so late. Is there something you need?"

Under normal circumstances, after Song Peng'an said this, Li Hanzhen would at least joke around for a bit.

But tonight, Li Hanzhen took a deep breath on the other end of the phone and asked in a very serious tone, "President Song... I have a question for you, don't hide anything from me..."

Li Hanzhen's serious tone made Song Peng'an, who was already a bit drunk, instantly sober up. He felt a bit nervous but still laughed lightly and asked, "What is it? President Li, just ask... What's going on tonight?"

"Have you offended our Chairman Zhu recently?" Li Hanzhen asked cautiously, "Think carefully. If you did something wrong, don't hide it from me!"

"What?" Song Peng'an was startled, his voice rising, "How could I offend Chairman Zhu? Impossible! Not just recently, but in the past, present, and future! Chairman Zhu is the most respected elder to me. How could I offend him... You should know that if it weren't for Chairman Zhu's help back then, there wouldn't be a Song Peng'an today! I..."

Song Peng'an was so agitated that he almost swore! Li Hanzhen, who had heard this so many times that his ears were about to grow calluses, quickly interrupted him, "Calm down. I was just asking casually... If it didn't happen, then it's fine..."

"Old Li, tell me the truth, is something wrong?" Song Peng'an, though a bit drunk, was more sober than ever! Seeing that Li Hanzhen was about to hang up, he quickly asked, "Don't hide it from me! We've known each other for so many years, I know your character. If nothing was wrong, why would you ask me this?"

"Something is wrong..." Li Hanzhen, seeing no way to avoid it, said, "But Chairman Zhu has ordered everyone to keep quiet. I can't tell you the details... However, you should make plans as soon as possible. The situation is quite serious."

After saying this, Li Hanzhen quickly added, "That's all I can say. Think of a way to contact Chairman Zhu directly. There might still be a chance to explain... I have to go!"

He hung up immediately, not giving Song Peng'an a chance to ask more questions!

It wasn't that Li Hanzhen was being picky, but he was worried that if he said too much, he would get himself into trouble. Not only would he not help Song Peng'an, but he would also get himself into trouble.

But after Li Hanzhen's vague words, Song Peng'an felt a sense of unprecedented crisis. He put down his phone with a slightly gloomy expression.

Wang Jinwang, who was also a bit drunk, glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It seems something is happening at Yuanbang Pharmaceutical..." Song Peng'an responded, then got up and said, "I need to call Chairman Zhu to ask about it. Brother Wang, would you mind waiting here for a moment while I make a call?"

"Sure, go ahead." Wang Jinwang nodded thoughtfully, not really caring.

Song Peng'an left the private room with a forced calm and entered an empty room next door.

Li Hanzhen's words made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. Without hesitation, Song Peng'an took out his phone and called Zhu Rongqiang. Surprisingly, the call was answered quickly.

Zhu Rongqiang asked with a smile on the other end, "Little Song, calling me so late, what's up?"

"Chairman Zhu, I..." Zhu Rongqiang's gentle tone made Song Peng'an choke, unable to speak. Finally, he could only laugh nervously and say, "Nothing much, just thought of reporting the recent progress to you..."

"Oh, I see." Zhu Rongqiang paused and said, "It's late now, and I have some important guests to meet later. You can talk to Hongbin about the new factory tomorrow. No need to report to me specifically."

Song Peng'an couldn't say a word, and could only awkwardly agree and hang up.

"Strange..." Recalling Zhu Rongqiang's tone, Song Peng'an felt even more confused. What was going on with Li Hanzhen?

Full of doubts, Song Peng'an returned to the private room, feeling restless.

Wang Jinwang asked with concern, "Did you figure out what's going on?"

"No, everything seems normal." Song Peng'an thought for a moment and shook his head, "Maybe Old Li misunderstood... Forget it, Brother Wang, let's have another drink!"

"Good, good, as long as everything is fine!" Wang Jinwang raised his glass with a smile and lightly clinked it with Song Peng'an's, "Cheers!"

...

Hengyang Group actually did not have the production conditions to manufacture the Kangbelle series of drugs for Yuanbang Pharmaceutical. However, as the saying goes, money can make the devil do his work. In just two days, the production workshop had been cleared to make room for the new production line.

Wang Dong, who had rushed from the capital, worked tirelessly for a day and a night to get a basic understanding of Hengyang Group's current situation.

Although he was full of doubts and couldn't understand why the usually shrewd Zhu Rongqiang would take such a risk and abandon the mature Sujiang Group to cooperate with the poor Hengyang Group, these were clearly not his concerns.

So, that noon, Wang Dong brought a stack of thick documents to Hengyang Group's headquarters.

In Yang Xiuyuan's office, Wang Dong put down the materials and said, "Chairman Yang, to be frank... Hengyang Group's facilities are far from meeting the production requirements for the Kangbelle series of cold medicines, I..."

"Ha ha, President Wang, what you said is basically true, and I am aware of it." Yang Xiuyuan interrupted Wang Dong with a smile, passing him a cigarette and saying, "However, our thousands of employees are confident that we can meet your production requirements in the shortest time possible. My wife is already working on it... She flew to Dongshan Province last night to contact the relevant equipment suppliers, and we should have accurate news by this afternoon..."

Hearing this, Wang Dong could only bitterly smile and nod, "I came here today for a reason... These documents are a detailed procurement list that I have been working on for the past two days. Would you like to review them?"

"Thank you, President Wang, you've really been working hard these past two days..." Yang Xiuyuan smiled and picked up the documents.

After a quick glance, Yang Xiuyuan felt more confident and nodded, "With this list, things will be much easier... Actually, I talked with President Meng all night last night and basically finalized the contract terms. We are waiting to sign it this afternoon... President Meng will be here soon, would you like to join us for lunch?"

"There's no need to specially join President Meng for lunch. I have a tight schedule and a lot of work to do, so I need to get back to the workshop." Hearing that the contract was about to be signed, Wang Dong felt even more pressure and declined, "Please make sure to implement the items on the list as soon as possible. According to the plan, the new workshop will start trial production in half a month and full production in 22 days!"

"Alright... President Wang is so busy, I won't keep you." Yang Xiuyuan smiled like a Buddha, "I'll treat you to a meal once the new workshop is in production. I really appreciate your help..."

"It's my duty, it's my duty... No need to be so polite, Chairman Yang." Wang Dong waved his hands and left the office.

Among the things Wang Dong brought were a few CDs.

After he left, Yang Xiuyuan immediately used his laptop to read the contents of the CDs.

Opening one of the CDs, he found it contained product packaging design drafts. Considering the time, he couldn't delay any longer. The aluminum foil for the capsules and tablets needed to be specially printed, and everyone knew the principle of preparing supplies before the troops moved.

Looking at the packaging design on the computer screen, Yang Xiuyuan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache... He had originally planned to delay as much as possible, to hide the situation for as long as possible. After all, Yuanbang Pharmaceutical was still studying the contract and planning the legal strategy, and Song Peng'an was still in the dark!

Once the packaging production orders were placed, it would be impossible to hide...

"Fine, if it can't be hidden, it can't be hidden." Yang Xiuyuan sighed and reached for the phone on his desk, dialing an internal number, "Xiao Zhang, come to my office. We need to place some packaging production orders..." (To be continued...)
