At 9:30 in the evening, Shen Qiang was embracing the alluring Xiu Ju, trying to awaken her other personality when the pregnant beauty and teacher Ju Yang called him.

Besides telling Shen Qiang everything was going smoothly,

She did not reveal the news of her pregnancy to Shen Qiang.

After she reported her safety and told Shen Qiang that she would be busy for another day,

Bianyi arrived alone at Shen Qiang's home.

Sitting in the living room, Bianyi looked at Shen Qiang with a smile and said, "My dear boss, actually, I've come with one piece of good news and one piece of bad news for you. Which would you like to hear first?"

Shen Qiang looked helplessly at Bianyi and said, "Either speak directly or get lost. I don't have time to play guessing games with you."

Bianyi laughed and said, "In fact, the demand for your Streptococcus Liquid is really too great. It's not just urgently needed by major hospitals domestically, but orders from all over the world have been astonishingly numerous, so I took the liberty of talking to the leaders of the Health Department."

"Then I told them that your factory's production capacity was severely insufficient, with three production lines, two have broken down due to outdated equipment, so the aid drugs he promised might not be delivered on schedule."

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Are you extorting them? You know, those three Streptococcus Liquid production lines are all new and very high quality, running very smoothly."

Bianyi laughed, "They are going to visit tomorrow, so I took the liberty of asking Kong Richeng to take out two."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You are a complete and utter bastard."

Bianyi chuckled, "I had no choice. Without getting serious, new production lines couldn't be secured. I was throwing caution to the wind here."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You're seizing the opportunity to profit from a disaster."

"But the benefit is yours," Bianyi said with a smile, "The leaders mean that if capacity is lacking, they can help solve the problem, which is not a big deal."

As he spoke, Bianyi took out a document from his briefcase and said, "This is a subsidiary of the Provincial Pharmaceutical Plant, which specializes in the production of liquid medicine. The location is in the southern suburbs of Provincial City, and the pharmaceutical subsidiary has a total of twelve large-scale liquid medicine production lines and more than six hundred employees."

Shen Qiang's eyes brightened, "I know where that factory is. You're bringing it to me?"

Bianyi laughed, "My dear boss, don't always hope for pie to fall from the sky; nothing in this world is that simple. Now, the leaders are proposing that we enter as a technical shareholder."

Shen Qiang shook his head with a smile, "If it were that simple, you wouldn't come looking for me so late."

Bianyi laughed, "Indeed, only my dearest boss truly understands me. Although I know buying that pharmaceutical subsidiary at a low price would be a perfect victory for you, the situation is obviously not that simple—it's a state-owned enterprise, and they won't just sell it to you."

"So, after much deliberation, I've come up with a proposal for the leaders to consider. The gist of it is that we need to temporarily borrow the pharmaceutical subsidiary for a period of ten years. During that time, apart from handling our own daily expenses and maintenance of the equipment, we only need to pay the workers' salaries to freely use all the equipment and premises of the pharmaceutical subsidiary."

Shen Qiang frowned slightly, "This is quite different from what I expected."

Bianyi smiled, "My dear boss, you have to understand, to build such a pharmaceutical subsidiary, it would take tens of billions and an extremely long time, which is simply impossible. Now, they've already tacitly agreed to this plan."

"We are almost using it for free for ten years, and after ten years, when the factory buildings and equipment become outdated, even if they give you the pharmaceutical subsidiary, whether you want it or not is another matter. Moreover, ten years is neither too long nor too short."

"Considering the current rate at which production equipment is updated, it's necessary to replace them with more advanced equipment every five years. Ten years from now, if you are truly diligent, Shen's will have already become a giant. By then, building any kind of factory will not be an issue for you."

"And if you fail, in ten years, there might no longer be a Shen's, so having such a factory will be meaningless to you."

"So now, all you have to do is sign your name on this document, and by tomorrow morning, it will become the Linghe subsidiary of Tianyou Pharmaceutical and Health Care Company. Your small company will instantly become a major enterprise, a big corporation."

Shen Qiang smiled and took the pen, signing his name directly on the document.

Leaning back in his chair, he said, "This is good news. After all, even if it were by borrowing money to invest, the interest on such a large sum of money would be a significant expense. I am very satisfied with your performance; it makes me believe that I really didn't choose the wrong person."

Bianyi smiled, then said with a grin, "My dear boss, the good news is over, now I have to discuss some bad news with you."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Looking at Shen Qiang, Bianyi raised an eyebrow, "I've received information that the Long Yan Sword Sect is not only sending out a large number of people to search for those swindlers but is also frantically making contact with the Cultivation World."

"Just in these past few days, the Long Yan Sword Sect not only visited Wanxin Hesheng, Cheng Xinyi, and the Ji Family but also paid visits to all the cultivating families and sects within the province. Just in Provincial City alone, I know that the Long Yan Sword Sect has sent someone to visit the Zhong Family Medical Hall."

Watching Shen Qiang frown, Bianyi continued, "Not only within the province, but I've also heard that people from the Long Yan Sword Sect have traveled all over the country to meet with many cultivating families and cultivation sects. This indicates that they have already begun to lay out their plans. Once they reach some kind of tacit understanding with the people of the Cultivation World, their next step will surely be to make a move against us."

Shen Qiang furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Bianyi paused for a moment before saying, "Online, many people seem very righteous, thinking that the Long Yan Sword Sect is bringing disgrace upon itself, but in reality, the upper echelons of the true families and sects are concerned with their own interests. As long as the existence of the Long Yan Sword Sect can bring benefits to them, they will easily choose to support the Long Yan Sword Sect."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that I should court other families and sects like Long Yan Sword Sect is doing?"

Bianyi laughed, "Although Shen's has already gained recognition from the Cultivation World, it is merely recognized as a member of the Cultivation World. To expect them to take sides and lend a hand in our conflict with the Long Yan Sword Sect, resulting in a bloody struggle, is nearly impossible."

"Therefore, even for the Long Yan Sword Sect, without sufficiently close relationships, the promises they can secure from those sects are at best assurances of neutrality, while they gleefully prepare popcorn, ready to watch us slaughter each other."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Public indifference is not unusual, and it's not unreasonable for cultivators to behave this way, but what I don't understand is whether you've already come up with a countermeasure, or are you merely hinting that Wanxin Hesheng, Cheng Xinyi, the Ji Family, and the Zhong Family Medical Hall may have already reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Long Yan Sword Sect?"
