"Uncle, what are you up to now!" Lu Yuxin, already in a foul mood, didn't have a kind word upon seeing Lu Zhenhai.
Lu Zhenhai didn't reply but turned to Lin Feng, "Mr. Lin, do you have a moment? There's an important matter I'd like to discuss with you."
Watching Lu Zhenhai's hypocritical smile, Lin Feng was just about to refuse, but then he thought it might be useful to hear him out and possibly gather some information. After all, having become Lu Yuxin's bodyguard, he should help his employer resolve her worries and problems.
With that thought, Lin Feng nodded in agreement, "Fine, lead the way. Oh, and Mr. Lu, please wait for me in the car."
Lu Yuxin, unaware of Lin Feng's thoughts, merely saw him promptly agreeing and felt even more furious, certain that this guy must have sided with Lu Zhenhai for money.
Lin Feng followed Lu Zhenhai into an office where others were already seated, the whole group of "Rebels" was there, especially the fourth aunt, who immediately smiled warmly upon seeing Lin Feng, a stark contrast to her previous cold demeanor.
"Oh, look at our Divine Doctor Lin, so young and handsome. Come, have a seat next to fourth aunt," she said as she quickly stood up to greet him, twisting her ample hips, seemingly flaunting all the charm she had.
Lin Feng made himself comfortable and got straight to the point, "What brings you all here to visit me, a mere security guard, amidst your busy grand affairs?"
"I like the way young people talk, straight and refreshing. So, I'll be direct too. We'd like to invite Mr. Lin to be our pharmaceutical research advisor, with an annual salary of five hundred thousand," Lu Zhenhai put on an open and straightforward façade.
So they were trying to win me over, Lin Feng understood immediately. When one is weak, even anger seems laughable, but once powerful, offers to woo come in droves.
But these people were too stingy, without vision. Consider Chairman Xiao – he offered a salary without limits; his thought and audacity weren't on the same level.
Lin Feng feigned difficulty, "I have more than a dozen ancient prescriptions in my possession. Pharmaceutical research is no concern, only…"
At the mention of ancient prescriptions, everyone's eyes lit up. The whole nation was enthusiastic about traditional medicine. If they could develop a pharmaceutical product using one of these prescriptions, it would rake in vast profits unique to them globally. And not just Xiao Qinglan's shares, even international expansion wasn't out of the question.
"Mr. Lin, please feel free to state any condition," fourth aunt said, almost pressing against Lin Feng. So many coveted those prescriptions. Just a few years ago, the Liu family spent a fortune acquiring an ancient prescription and developed a product for health preservation, earning them untold riches.
The Lu Group also operated within the pharmaceutical research and production industry and wanted to obtain ancient prescriptions as well. However, families in possession of these prescriptions were like hens that laid golden eggs and weren't willing to sell these assets easily.
"I'm not interested in money, but in terms of beautiful women, do you have any?" Lin Feng asked deliberately.
"Haha, so the hero also has a taste for beauty over power. Heroes do indeed see alike. As for beauties, we can get you as many as you want," Lu Zhenhai laughed heartily, thinking that a man enamored with love is easier to control than one greedy for money.
"Like Lu Yuxin, do you have any?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Lu Zhenhai was taken aback and showed a look of difficulty, "That… even though I'm not too fond of her, I have to admit, her beauty is among the top in Beijiang City. In ancient times, she could be the kind of beauty that makes a king forsake his morning court. Mr. Lin's demands are indeed high."
"Then you try to find one for me? I'll be waiting for your good news," Lin Feng said with a smile, standing up to leave, not stopping despite their attempts to retain him.
As he was closing the door, Lin Feng paused, and even through the thick door, he could still hear the voices from inside.
"If only I were ten years younger, I'd go for him myself," fourth aunt said, a comment that nearly made Lin Feng's dinner from the night before come up.
"Anyway, we must try to win Lin Feng over, preferably control him with beauty, to use for our purposes. In addition, it's time to ask the elders in the clan to take action. We must blow the incident of Lu Yuxin hitting an elder out of proportion, forcing her and her mother to surrender their shares!"
…
Lin Feng's gaze turned cold.
