Lin Ziyi widened her beautiful eyes, "Is it my cousin? What should we do? Should I tell HR to recruit her?"
Ye Tian shook his head, "No need. She doesn't even acknowledge me as her cousin. Besides, how can a big company like ours take orders from a driver?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "Yes, that's true. Once is an accident, but twice is a habit. We can't set this precedent."
Ye Tian then thought of Tian Gu Group and asked, "Ziyi, is everything going smoothly with Tian Gu?"
Lin Ziyi said, "I've sent a few trusted people there, and the headquarters of Tian Gu Group will also be moved here for easier management."
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and said, "The ancient medicinal formulas of Tian Gu Group are quite interesting. I'll study them when I have time."
Lin Ziyi chimed in, "I was just about to discuss this with you. The operating status of several enterprises under Tian Gu Group is quite ordinary. I was wondering if we should help them develop some new drugs?"
Ye Tian asked, "Ziyi, do you mean we should let them release some new drugs?"
Lin Ziyi nodded, "I spoke with Boss Yang yesterday, and he said he could spin off and list his companies."
Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh, "This Old Yang, he's always thinking about listing companies. Didn't he say he wanted Bao Zhi to be listed first?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "He's changed his mind now."
Ye Tian inquired, "Oh, why?"
"Boss Yang said that Bao Zhi Company is currently making so much money that it doesn't need to go public to raise funds. Instead of listing Bao Zhi, it's better to list the subsidiaries first. With Bao Zhi's strength, it will be easy to make the subsidiaries bigger and stronger."
Ye Tian considered for a while and said, "His thinking makes sense. What do you think?"
Lin Ziyi responded, "Listing is a very complex process. I think it's feasible to let the subsidiaries go public first."
"Alright. Then let's choose one company."
Lin Ziyi continued, "I've had people look into it, and there are three suitable companies. However, only one is the largest in scale, has strong management capabilities, and good performance. That company is Taichuan Pharmaceutical."
As she spoke, she handed over a document. Ye Tian glanced at it. Taichuan Pharmaceutical's revenue for the first half of this year was 10.7 billion, with a net profit of 1.35 billion. The company had several well-selling drugs and possessed solid research and development capabilities. Three years ago, the company sought to go public, but it was acquired by Tian Gu Group at the listing price just before its IPO.
Ye Tian nodded, "Yes, let's choose it, Taichuan Pharmaceutical."
Lin Ziyi added, "Taichuan Pharmaceutical has a good foundation in the research and development of cardiovascular drugs. Several of their Chinese patent medicines that have been listed have received positive feedback."
Ye Tian said, "Okay, then we'll start with cardiovascular aspects."
At this moment, in the coffee shop on the third floor, Xu Siqing was waiting for her boyfriend, a short young man in sportswear with an ordinary appearance but lively eyes.
"Siqing, how is it? Did you receive the admission notice?"
Xu Siqing shook her head, "Jianlong, not yet."
The man named Jianlong's expression turned grim, "They haven't given you notice? Hmph, this is disrespecting the district chief!" He then took out his phone and dialed a number.
Lin Ziyi and Ye Tian were in the midst of their discussion when the secretary called, "Ms. Lin, someone named Chang Jianlong is looking for you."
Lin Ziyi thought for a moment and asked, "Who is Chang Jianlong?"
The secretary replied, "He claims to be the son of the district chief's driver."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyi immediately said, "No need to bother with him."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian chuckled, "The district chief's son, Xu Siqing. I think I know what's going on."
Lin Ziyi said, "Just ignore them."
Ye Tian replied, "He'll definitely call again later. Have them come to the office."
Lin Ziyi asked, "You want to see him?"
Ye Tian explained, "This kind of thing will definitely happen in the future. If we don't show some authority, we'll be easily bullied."
"Alright."
Five minutes later, Xu Siqing and Chang Jianlong walked in.
When Xu Siqing saw Ye Tian sitting behind the desk, she was stunned. Although she was surprised during the interview, she didn't think much of it, assuming Ye Tian was just observing. But now, it seemed the situation was not that simple.
"Cousin," she finally stopped calling him by his name and addressed him as cousin.
Ye Tian said calmly, "Xu Siqing, this is the company. You should address me as boss."
Xu Siqing was startled, "You are the boss of Bao Zhi?" She only knew that the boss of Bao Zhi Company was surnamed Ye, but she never expected it to be Ye Tian!
