Chapter 829: Willing to Wash Hands and Make Soup for You (7)
Through the rear-view mirror, Zhang Yufeng glanced at An Yiqing with gratitude, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, the pale knuckles betraying her inner excitement. "Miss, thank you, thank you for continuing the sibling bond between my brother and me!" Zhang Yufeng’s voice choked up slightly, showing that even someone as stoic as she had her vulnerabilities.
"Don’t say that, I’m still counting on Brother Yusheng to stay healthy so I can be a hands-off manager for a few more years," An Yiqing winked teasingly, a sly smile on her face, "I’ll find some time in the next few days to invite Brother Yusheng, Binzi, and Jinglin over to my place to ask their opinions. This matter is entirely voluntary, and even if they don’t wish to practice ancient martial arts to prolong their lives, I can still ensure they stay healthy."
An Yiqing didn’t feel betrayed by the lack of interest in the cultivation of ancient martial arts from her subordinates. People have their own aspirations; some seek a simple and natural life, while others, bound by love, desire more time with their families. Either way, their desires were understandable.
Having resolved this issue, both An Yiqing and Zhang Yufeng felt much lighter in spirit. They drove off, quickly heading toward Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals.
In the suburbs of Xuandu City, the piece of land that An Yiqing had bought from Bai Yiming had, after more than half a year of publicity and reputation-building, turned into a prime location. Large businesses started to cluster around Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, and the government, recognizing the potential of the area, began planning to shift its focus there.
Originally, An Yiqing just wanted to find a large, low-cost piece of land to build a medicinal herb base. She never expected that it would spur the development of the entire area.
Over the past half-year, with two rounds of renovations and reconstructions, Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals had transformed from a small building of just a few floors into a towering twenty-story office building. Behind the building was an herb garden and research base constructed at great expense by An Yiqing. The security was ironclad, and all monitoring equipment was personally supplied by Gu Yelin. Even the spies from Country Jin would have to shed a layer of skin to escape alive after snooping around.
