Less than five minutes after he finished the acupuncture, sure enough, Mother Liu slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

"Ah, she's awake! Mother Liu woke up! I can't believe it, Zhenfei, your medical arts are truly miraculous!"

Seeing that Mother Liu had indeed woken up, the surrounding villagers were overjoyed and marveled at Zhenfei's skill.

Mother Liu, understanding her own condition well, expressed her profuse gratitude to Ling Zhenfei.

"Mother Liu, your heart disease is highly detrimental to your health. If not treated promptly, the consequences could be dire. I will now prescribe a formula for you that can dilate your blood vessels and relieve spasms. Stick to taking it, and you can cure this illness completely."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei turned to He Lingxiu and said, "Xiu'er, prescribe 30 grams each of Angelica Root, Scrophularia Root, Honeysuckle Flower, Salvia Root, and Licorice Root for Mother Liu. Also, add some Wintergreen, Sun Grass, Astragalus Root, and Shengmai Powder."

"Alright, I'll go back and prepare the medicine right away!"

Seeing that Mother Liu's complexion had stabilized, He Lingxiu, finally relieved, agreed and hurried back home to prepare the medicine for Mother Liu.

"Mother Liu, just now I used silver needles to stimulate a few acupuncture points. From now on, you shouldn't overwork yourself, take more rest, take your medicine regularly, and your body will recover. You are too old to do farm work; you should have your son come back to take care of you!"

After giving Mother Liu a few more instructions, Ling Zhenfei finally left her house amidst her constant thanks and the villagers' praises, heading towards Xi Shan Farm...

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

In Lin's Building, Lin Yuluo stood in front of the office window, looking at the towering urban jungle outside, her heart filled with emotion.

Although the Lin's Group she currently stood on was still the Lin's of her family, her father was no longer there. This was undoubtedly a tremendous sorrow for her.

Lin Yuluo felt like an abandoned child; overnight, she had transformed from a beloved princess to an unwanted Cinderella.

However, no matter what, even if her father had passed away, as long as Lin's was still there, she was the sole heir of Lin's. She had to grit her teeth and get through this difficult period no matter what.

Today was the first board meeting convened after her father's death. Previously, Lin Yuluo was just a department manager and had no right to attend the meetings. But today, as her father's only heir, she had to attend this meeting.

"Yuluo, everyone is already here. My dad asked me to see if you're ready." As Lin Yuluo was lost in thought in front of the window, Du Xiaowei's voice came from behind her.

In front of Lin Yuluo, Du Xiaowei always tried to show a gentlemanly demeanor and often regarded himself as her fiancé, constantly attempting to get closer to her.

However, unbeknownst to him, Lin Yuluo only saw him as a childhood playmate and had no romantic feelings towards him. Moreover, after years of not seeing each other, their relationship had become even more distant.

"Hmm, I know!"

Lin Yuluo turned her head, gave Du Xiaowei a glance, and then walked towards the meeting room with him...

In the meeting room, all shareholders from Lin's upper management had already arrived.

Du Kongting, being the second-largest shareholder after Lin Zhengnan, was sitting in the first row on the left side. Directly opposite him, in the first row on the right, sat Zhuang Buxian, the third-largest shareholder of Lin's.

"Xiao Luo, you're here, please sit!" Seeing Lin Yuluo enter, Du Kongting gestured for her to sit in the main seat.

Then, with a tone of profound sorrow, he began today's speech, "Everyone, Chairman Lin's passing is a painful blow to each and every one of us here.

However, we cannot remain mired in this grief. We must turn our sorrow into strength, regroup, and push the Group's development forward!"

Clap clap clap...

Du Kongting's impassioned opening statement immediately elicited thunderous applause from the entire room.

Once the applause subsided, Du Kongting swept a solemn gaze over everyone and continued, "A nation cannot be without a leader even for a day, a family cannot be without a head even for a day. Now that Chairman Lin is no longer with us, our immediate priority is to elect a new president to lead us into the future."

After saying this, he deliberately paused, then pointed to Lin Yuluo and said to everyone, "As you can see, Xiao Luo is Chairman Lin's only daughter, and she is very capable. Chairman Lin held her in high esteem during his lifetime. It stands to reason that she should take on the role of the new president..."

Du Kongting's sly maneuvers were indeed not to be underestimated. He had schemed to death Lin Zhengnan, all with the ultimate goal of seizing power.

Now, just as his plot was nearing fruition, he deliberately nominated Lin Yuluo for the position of the new president at the shareholders' meeting, only to eventually use it as a strategy to achieve his goal through indirect means.

"President Du, what you said is not right!"

Du Kongting's calculations did not miss the mark. Before he even finished speaking, a shareholder stood up in dissatisfaction, saying, "Lin's is not just the Lin family's Lin's. Everyone here holds shares; we all have a voice and a vote."

"Lin's is a publicly listed Group. The position of president is of utmost importance and cannot be handed down like a hereditary title. Furthermore, even if it were a hereditary system, the position should go to a male heir. If we let a girl manage us, it would make us a laughing stock among our peers."

"Yes, yes! The position of president must be chosen carefully! I also do not agree to let Young Miss Lin succeed."

...

Following the first dissenting shareholder, others with similar opinions also stood up and voiced their views.

"This..."

Du Kongting had long anticipated that there would be opposition. Hearing this, he immediately put on a worried expression and said in a deep voice, "My suggestion for Xiao Luo to take the position is indeed based on consolidating Lin family's business interests. After all, there is currently no one more suitable than Xiao Luo..."

"Who says there's no one more suitable? I think Director Zhuang is very suitable for the position of president." The shareholder who spoke earlier was a close associate of Zhuang Buxian. Upon hearing this, he immediately seized the opportunity to nominate him.

"Yes, I also support Director Zhuang!" Others in cahoots also chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Du Kongting snorted coldly through his nose, his gaze as sharp as an arrow shooting toward Zhuang Buxian.

Zhuang Buxian was a gentle character who never placed himself in turbulent situations. Even when nominated for the presidency, he seemed to have heard nothing, continuing to sit expressionlessly.

"Ahem!" Du Kongting's eyes flicked briefly over him before fixing on the face of a shareholder sitting just below him.

This shareholder, named Hua Xiangyang, was Du Kongting's loyal follower. Now, Du Kongting wanted to suppress Zhuang Buxian, and naturally, he needed to use his own influence!

"I object!" Understanding the signal from Du Kongting, Hua Xiangyang immediately stood up and said loudly, "Though Director Zhuang is competent, I believe President Du is a more suitable candidate for the presidency.
