"Something very important?" Lin Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Li Er Mao looking as if he had something important to say, Lin Xiao Tian guessed if Li Er Mao had discovered another good spot for Rejuvenating Grass.
With that thought, Lin Xiao Tian became interested and asked,
"What is this important matter?"
"Wait a moment, I'll come in," Li Er Mao said, and attempted to climb through the window. However, due to his insufficient height, he only managed to get his left foot up after struggling for a while.
Watching Li Er Mao's comical movements, Lin Xiao Tian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He helped Li Er Mao inside from outside, then continued to ask,
"Can you tell me now?"
Li Er Mao looked around again, ensuring no one was eavesdropping, before confidently going to Lin Xiao Tian's side.
"Xiao Tian, I'm telling you, Xiao Gang has a problem!"
"Xiao Gang?" Lin Xiao Tian was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Gang was Bai Fen's son and the same age as Li Er Mao. Lin Xiao Tian truly couldn't see any problem with him.
"Er Mao, is this the important matter you were talking about?"
"Mhm!" Li Er Mao nodded solemnly.
Lin Xiao Tian sighed helplessly.
He had thought Li Er Mao had news about Rejuvenating Grass, but it turned out to be a matter between children. Lin Xiao Tian really had no interest in such things.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Er Mao." Lin Xiao Tian patted Li Er Mao's head and prepared to escort him away.
"Xiao Tian, don't you believe me?" Li Er Mao stood with his hands on his hips, clearly a little angry.
"I believe... I believe you, okay?" Lin Xiao Tian spread his hands.
"You're lying, you just don't believe me!" Li Er Mao pouted. "I'm telling you, I have evidence!"
"Okay, then tell me, what evidence do you have?"
"I've seen him secretly watching you several times, and he often follows you. Once, early in the morning, before dawn, I saw him lurking around your house. It's obvious he has ill intentions. Xiao Tian, you have to believe me, he's really not a good person!" Li Er Mao said very earnestly.
"Uh... Alright! Er Mao, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'll be careful," Lin Xiao Tian nodded as if it were serious.
"Oh... Then you really must be careful!" Li Er Mao said earnestly.
After seeing Li Er Mao off, Lin Xiao Tian continued refining pills.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Lin Xiao Tian walked out of the house, intending to turn over the Rejuvenating Grass outside so it could receive ample sunlight.
But as soon as he stepped out, he felt a gaze. Lin Xiao Tian instinctively looked over and found that the gaze was coming from the direction of the neighboring house, not far away.
"Xiao Gang?"
As if realizing he had been discovered, Xiao Gang immediately poked his head out of the window and waved at Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian smiled and continued to attend to his own matters.
For the next two days, Lin Xiao Tian did little else besides refining pills.
On the third day, Lin Xiao Tian received news from Wei Long. Wei Long had already finalized negotiations with Xu Chang and was now preparing for the contract signing.
Wei Long had done a good job this time, securing Xu Chang's agreement to sell 30% of the original shares for fifteen million yuan.
Xu Chang himself held only about 20% of the shares. Combined with the scattered holdings of other shareholders, as long as Lin Xiao Tian signed the papers, he would gain control of the company!
As for why Wei Long didn't aim for over 50%, it was also a consideration for safety. After all, Xu Chang's company was still in crisis, and no one could guarantee it would weather the storm.
Lin Xiao Tian and Wei Long discussed a time and decided to complete the signing ceremony that very day.
Calculating the time, this week was almost over. After signing, Lin Xiao Tian would work one day at the National Medical Hall, and his schedule would be perfectly filled.
Lin Xiao Tian explained his arrangements for the next day or two to Qin Yu Xiang, and after repeatedly urging Qin Yu Xiang to take good care of herself, he finally left with peace of mind.
He left in the morning. After a simple pack, Lin Xiao Tian headed towards the village.
"Brother Xiao Tian, where are you going?" Xiao Gang reappeared at the village entrance.
"Going on a trip!" Lin Xiao Tian replied without hesitation.
Xiao Gang, as usual, pestered him, wanting to go with Lin Xiao Tian. Fortunately, this time Bai Fen was present, allowing Lin Xiao Tian to disengage quickly.
The mother and son watched Lin Xiao Tian leave. Lin Xiao Tian looked back towards the village and also saw Li Er Mao.
Li Er Mao was hiding behind Bai Fen and her son, seemingly lost in thought.
Lin Xiao Tian paid it no mind, figuring that minor conflicts between children were quite normal.
At the junction of the mountain road and the highway, Liang Xu had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Lin Xiao Tian appeared, he got out to open the car door for him.
"Uncle Xu, you don't need to be so formal. I can manage," Lin Xiao Tian said, then opened the car door himself and got in.
Lin Xiao Tian's lack of airs made Liang Xu's favorable impression of him grow even stronger.
The Porsche roared to life with a melodious rumble and headed in the direction of Jiangcheng.
Meanwhile, in Jinsha Village, Bai Fen had arrived at Qin Yu Xiang's place.
"Sister Yu Xiang, let's chat?"
"Yes! Sister Bai, please come in! Xiao Gang, you're here too. Why are you so clingy? You always follow your mother. Why don't you play with the village children once in a while!" Qin Yu Xiang patted Xiao Gang's head.
"They're all too childish. I don't like playing with them," Xiao Gang said indifferently.
"Little rascal! You find them childish?" Qin Yu Xiang chuckled.
"By the way, Sister Yu Xiang, how long will Brother Xiao Tian be away this time?" Xiao Gang suddenly asked.
"Two days," Qin Yu Xiang replied without hesitation.
"Oh, oh..." Xiao Gang nodded, then glanced at his mother.
Bai Fen also looked at him. The two exchanged glances, seemingly contemplating something?
...
At the same time, led by Liang Xu, Lin Xiao Tian quickly arrived at Xu Chang's company.
"Xin He Group." Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the company's signboard.
Xu Chang had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. Seeing Lin Xiao Tian arrive, he quickly went to greet him.
Xu You, trailing behind, was a beat slower. Xu Chang was annoyed and glared at him without hesitation.
Xu You was startled and could only follow along nervously.
"Haha, President Lin, we meet again." Xu Chang extended his hand enthusiastically.
"President Xu." Lin Xiao Tian smiled slightly and returned the handshake calmly.
Originally, Xu Chang had many reservations about Lin Xiao Tian, considering his youth and unclear background. However, seeing Lin Xiao Tian's composed demeanor now, these reservations were significantly dispelled.
"President Lin, please come in!" Xu Chang said with a smile full of deference.
