Chapter 356 Tempting Conditions
Lin Chen smiled, calm and composed, and looked at Lu Ting with a maturity beyond his years.
"Whatever conditions the Ji Group offers to President Lu, the Lin Group can offer the same, and can even guarantee the same amount for future cooperation. Now, both the Ji Group and the Lin Group want to work with President Lu. We sincerely want to cooperate with President Lu and hope that he will consider it."
Lu Ting's gaze shifted, a hint of hesitation appearing in his eyes. Lin Chen before him was full of sincerity, but Lu Ting did not immediately agree to his proposal.
Seeing Lu Ting's hesitation, Lin Chen pressed his advantage: "I understand that Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi were the ones who first proposed the cooperation to President Lu, so it's understandable that President Lu is hesitant and considering it now."
He paused for a few seconds: "We can give President Lu time to think. If President Lu is willing to cooperate with the Lin Group, then President Lu can choose any medical project in the Lin Group's portfolio, and the profits for the next two years will belong to the Lu Group."
"With such good conditions, what are your needs?"
Hearing about such a collaboration would tempt anyone, but Lin Chen wasn't going to let others have all the benefits for free; the Lin Group wasn't one to suffer losses.
"The conditions aren't unreasonable. I just want to know the Ji Group's next move, especially Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi's decision."
Lu Ting's eyes darkened. Lin Chen's request was aimed at the Ji Group. Currently, the Lin Group's medical projects were the main source of profit, and the conditions he offered were very tempting.
"I will think about this matter carefully."
A shadow was cast by the bushes in a secluded spot in the small garden, and it disappeared after Lin Chen left.
"Lu Ting and Lin Chen met in the small garden not long ago and talked about some things, but they were too far away to hear clearly."
The informant planted at the banquet reported the findings to Ji Jingshen. Upon hearing this, Song Qianyi immediately sensed something was wrong and became worried.
She looked at Ji Jingshen, whose expression was equally grim: "Lin Chen called Lu Ting away alone at this time and even spoke to him. I'm worried that he might use some underhanded means to force Lu Ting to give up his cooperation with us. Lu Ting only cares about the interests of the Lu Group, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't turn against us."
Ji Jingshen shook his head, firmly denying Song Qianyi's words: "No, Lu Ting is the kind of person who won't betray us. Since he cares so much about the Lu Group, he won't agree to this."
As he expected, there was a knock at the door. Ji Jingshen went to open it and saw Lu Ting standing there. He immediately spotted Song Qianyi inside.
"I have something to tell you."
The informant inside left, leaving only the three of them inside. Lu Ting looked at Ji Jingshen and said, "Lin Chen just contacted me. You guys need to think of a way to investigate the medical projects under the Lin Group. This could very well be the source of their secrets."
"What did he tell you?"
Song Qianyi probed, saying that Lu Ting's current approach to them and his comments did not prove that he did not intend to cooperate with the Lin Group.
Seeing her doubts, Lu Ting simply told her all the conditions Lin Chen had just told him: "Lin Chen asked me to give up my cooperation with you. The Lin Group will let me choose any medical project they have and give me all the profits for two years. He's so willing to give me these benefits, he must have ulterior motives."
"I suspect his purpose in doing this is that the project itself had problems, and he wanted to force me to become one of his people, so that even if the project ran into trouble, I would have to bail him out."
Lu Ting's words were of great help to them. The weaknesses of the Lin Group had been exposed, and if they followed the trail, they would surely discover the secrets hidden by the Lin Group.
"We understand. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for being so willing to help us."
Ji Jingshen thanked Lu Ting, who shook his head: "Helping you is also helping me. Lin Chen is too naive to think he can get involved with the Lu Group on a problematic project."
Based on these clues, Ji Jingshen quickly sent people to investigate the medical projects under the Lin Group.
Inside the banquet, Lin Jianhua glanced around and inquired of Lin Chen about the outcome: "How did it go? Did Lu Ting agree?"
"Not yet. Lu Ting is hesitant, but I don't think he'll switch sides so easily. Besides, he's a very cunning person. We need to make two plans. There's no guarantee he won't tell Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi about our conversation."
Lin Jianhua frowned. Things were getting more and more complicated. Lu Ting's attitude was unclear, and they couldn't act rashly, lest they attract the attention of Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi, which would be disadvantageous to them.
"We'll find someone to deal with them when necessary."
Lin Chen spoke calmly and casually, as if discussing an everyday meal, showing no concern whatsoever for the lives of the two individuals.
Hearing his suggestion, Lin Jianhua hesitated: "But if they disappear, people will definitely be suspicious, and they are very vigilant. It will be difficult to handle the situation then."
"Don't worry about this. I've already contacted Andrei, and he's agreed to help us. How can we make the road pass smoothly if we don't remove the obstacles in the way?"
Ji Jingshen's team, who had been sent to investigate the Lin Group's medical projects, quickly reported back, and he also shared the information with Song Qianyi.
"The Lin Group is now very strict with its pharmaceutical factories. People coming in and out need to have their work permits checked and undergo facial recognition."
Sitting next to her, Song Qianyi stroked her chin: "Isn't their situation similar to that of Andrei's hospital?"
“Yes, I had the same idea. We can’t get into the pharmaceutical factory right now, so we need to think of another way. We haven’t met Xue Jianchen and the others, so we can have him contact the pharmaceutical company under the Lin Group.”
Upon contacting Xue Jianchen, Ji Jingshen quickly and simply explained the situation to him, and Xue Jianchen agreed to help with Ji Jingshen's suggestion.
“Register a pharmaceutical company, then contact the pharmaceutical companies under the Lin Group. They have never met you and do not know that you know us, so they will not doubt your identity. Then find an excuse to quickly enter their pharmaceutical factory.”
At that moment, Xue Jianchen quickly gathered the necessary information and registered a pharmaceutical company. After some time, he took the initiative to contact the pharmaceutical company under the Lin Group.
After waiting for a while, Ji Jingshen received a call from Xue Jianchen. He showed the screen of his phone to Song Qianyi and pressed the answer button to turn on speakerphone.
"The Lin Group is not easy to deal with. They are very vigilant and keep probing me with their words. Recently, I also discovered that someone was near my hospital, seemingly following and monitoring my situation."
Ji Jingshen realized that Xue Jianchen's situation had become dangerous. The Lin Group was so cautious that if they found out that Xue Jianchen had come to contact the Lin Group because of them, they would most likely take illegal measures, and Xue Jianchen's life would not be guaranteed.
