Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 704 - 429: Behind You

Meeting room.

Ding Shuyan didn’t look around, only when it was Shao Shuangshuang’s turn to speak did she shift her gaze toward this exceptionally young woman.

If one were to say that last year Shao Shuangshuang looked like a twenty-seven-year-old woman, this year her skin seemed to have reverted to that of someone in her early twenties.

Privately, Aunt Lin Han repeatedly speculated that Shao Shuangshuang’s youthful appearance was definitely due to the medication developed by Evergreen Liquid in-house.

Facing the cruel passage of time, with her appearance deteriorating day by day, even Lin Han, a woman managing billions in investments, couldn’t resist the temptation of everlasting youth.

Taking advantage of the reunion at Fourth Middle School, Lin Han adjusted her mindset and had a friendly discussion with Shao Shuangshuang, her old classmate and rival in love, thereby mending their relationship.

Now, the two of them were among the most successful of their classmates and after several encounters, they had somewhat rekindled their old friendship.

What puzzled Ding Shuyan was that, based solely on their camaraderie as classmates, Shao Shuangshuang actually agreed to let Lin Han into the highest-level meeting at Evergreen Liquid. Wasn’t she afraid that the current information might leak out?

Given Evergreen Liquid’s current popularity, if Lin Han went out and contacted the media to expose the next moves of Evergreen Liquid, it could definitely cause quite a stir.

Ding Shuyan had a hard time understanding President Shao’s thoughts.

The meeting continued, and Shao Shuangshuang started, "Let’s discuss the construction of the intra-city courier service."

A man in his fifties, elegant in appearance, said, "I still uphold my previous view: a courier system can indeed stabilize the company, and if well managed, it could serve as a moat. However, with Evergreen Liquid’s current single-product line, establishing a costly courier system would be a loss."

"President Shao, Lao Jin and I share the same opinion, we can cooperate with other courier services. If you’re worried about the product image, we could use a ’premium delivery’ format."

Shao Shuangshuang denied it: "Considering the user experience, I don’t want to cooperate with other companies. How about this, let’s quickly set up direct stores in second-tier cities and above, and build a ’premium’ pickup courier system around these stores."

"Alright, President Shao, you previously proposed buying land in various cities to build stores. Wouldn’t that be too costly?"

For places like Nan City, buying land on a bustling commercial street would be a huge expense, with prime storefronts alone costing millions in rent per year.

If buying storefronts, it’s tens of millions, even hundreds of millions. With so many cities across the country...

Shao Shuangshuang asked, "Is funding an issue?"

Lao Jin replied, "Not at all."

Evergreen Liquid, selling well overseas and using its every-two-month application effect, was raking in vast sums of cash; the cash flow was continuous.

"Alright, finalize the specific details after the meeting and consult with them. Let’s continue to the next topic," said Shao Shuangshuang.

After hearing this, Lao Jin silently took note; money was probably the least of Evergreen Liquid’s concerns.

President Shao maintained several teams specifically to collect rare treasures; spending over ten billion last quarter as if it were nothing.

An hour later, the meeting adjourned, and Lin Han, Ding Shuyan, and others left the meeting room.

The meeting room was much emptier now, with only two people remaining in front of Shao Shuangshuang: one was an imposing middle-aged man, and the other a robust young man.

"Lao Han, how is the progress?" Shao Shuangshuang enquired.

Middle-aged man Lao Han reported: "President Shao, the members of the inspection team are selected, totaling 36, most from the system and the rest are those who perform very well in usual business."

"You know what to do, right?" Shao Shuangshuang said.

Lao Han replied, "If necessary, I will use forceful measures."

"Hmm, draft a performance plan tomorrow, discuss it with Sister Lan and others, and report back to me once it’s finalized," Shao Shuangshuang stated.

After hearing this, Lao Han internally emphasized the importance of this matter.

Evergreen Liquid specifically formed an inspection team, their task during this trip was to thoroughly investigate corruption issues at all branches of Evergreen Liquid.

Evergreen Liquid was simply too wealthy, billions in size, a touch could yield millions in profits, and inside misdeeds were not lacking due to inner employees harboring crooked thoughts.

Having worked in several large corporations, Lao Han knew all too well about the widespread corruption within big company interiors, but fortunately, Evergreen Liquid was just starting up and didn’t have many issues.

It was President Shao’s forward-thinking vision that Lao Han notably admired.

"Specific itinerary will be sent to you in a while, be on standby," Shao Shuangshuang instructed.

"Alright, President Shao, you’re busy!" Lao Han led his people out of the meeting room.

At last, only Shao Shuangshuang remained, her delicate body sinking into the boss chair, her tear mole charming and striking.

"After the mid-year meeting ends, I’ll ask Jiang Ning where he’d like to go for fun."

Her arranged personnel were nominally the inspection team but were actually safeguarding Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning could create problems in any city domestically, and Shao Shuangshuang could resolve them for him immediately.

"To this extent, he should share some fruit with me."

Shao Shuangshuang muttered to herself, as her mother had been nagging a lot recently, and she hoped to silence her mother’s mouth with fruit.

Inside Evergreen Liquid’s self-service restaurant.

Lin Han and Ding Shuyan sat opposite each other at a large marble dining table laid out with a feast of delicacies.

They chose a booth in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, outside of which stretched fresh, verdant bamboo forests.

During a contemplative moment, Lin Han suddenly said, "Shao Shuangshuang is planning to have a chat with you."

"Hmm?" Ding Shuyan was taken aback and asked subconsciously:

"What about?"

...

In the evening, as the Sun gradually set, the world seemed to be doused in cold water, and the severe heat began to fade.

"Let’s go, let’s play at the dam!" Xue Yuantong suggested.

"Wow, you who never moves, thinking of stirring today?" Jiang Ning found it unusual.
