The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

Professor Shi put down his teacup, crossed his legs, and said, "She holds the core patents and has no shortage of partners, so she naturally has the confidence to refuse others. Ordinary persuasion is useless against her."

Shi Zhong frowned, his tone urgent: "I know she's not easy to deal with, but we must get our hands on this patent; it's a huge business opportunity."

Since Section Chief Wang is not an option, I will go to see her personally and discuss cooperation with her face-to-face.

I refuse to believe she wouldn't be tempted by the conditions I offered.

Upon hearing this, Instructor Shi shook his head, a calculating smile playing on his lips.

Lowering her voice, she offered Shi Zhong some advice: "If you go to negotiate in person, you'll just be talking about terms and negotiating interests. It's too much trouble, and you might not even succeed. You might even be manipulated by her."

"What we really want is her experimental data and patented technology. Why go through all that trouble and waste our breath on that girl?"

To get something from her, it's hardest to approach her directly; it's easiest to approach those around her.

We can get what we want without lifting a finger.

Shi Zhong shook his head: "As Section Chief Wang just said, he went to see the technician at the factory, but was refused."

"That Engineer Chen is utterly loyal to Hua, we can't budge him at all, what other options are there?"

"That girl has more than one person with her."

The shrewd and calculating Instructor Shi glanced at the doorway and lowered his voice: "Young people, in the end, are still prone to underestimating the value of interests."

Shi Zhong's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

He leaned forward slightly: "Cousin, what do you mean?"

Professor Shi sneered, his eyes full of calculation: "There's more than just Engineer Chen in the lab. Fu Hua's research team has several people. Some are loyal, and some are greedy. That's human nature."

As long as we identify our target and offer substantial rewards and incentives, we can always find a breakthrough and obtain the core experimental data.

"Once we get the data, we'll start production immediately. Even if Fu Hua has incredible abilities, she won't be able to turn the tide. This project will ultimately belong to Kanghua."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhong's eyes lit up, the gloom on his face instantly vanished, and he nodded repeatedly.

His eyes were full of approval as he looked at Professor Shi: "My cousin is so thoughtful. Let's do it your way."

"Start with the rest of her team, get the experimental data as soon as possible, and don't give Fu Hua any chance!"

Shi Zhong leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes gleaming with ambition.

"As long as we get our hands on that set of heart valve data, Kanghua will be able to take off completely and firmly sit in the leader's position."

Professor Shi adjusted his glasses and slowly replied, "At that time, this medical device factory, which is still nominally a state-owned enterprise, will be the best shell for us."

"That's right."

Shi Zhong laughed, "We can use all the state-owned enterprise's qualifications, channels, and reputation."

They control production, pricing, and sales.

Others thought it was a national project, which gave it a high level of trust, but in reality, all the money went into the pockets of the two brothers.

Professor Shi nodded: "I'll take care of things at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so you can rest assured."

With approvals and standards expedited, you can start mass production and distribution immediately. Soon, hospitals across the country will be using our valves, and profits will increase more than tenfold.

This old state-owned factory is practically Kanghua's backyard.

The two exchanged a glance, both already seeing the huge sums of money and the position of industry leader.

Few people outside know that this medical device factory, which still bears the name of a state-owned enterprise,

It was secretly acquired by Kanghua Medical as early as last year.

To the outside world, the factory still retains its state-owned enterprise label, production processes, and employee staffing.

The factory maintained the same name to outsiders, keeping everyone from the workshop director to the ordinary technicians completely in the dark.

Even Section Chief Wang thought that Kanghua was just investing in shares.

No one noticed anything amiss; they continued to receive their state-owned enterprise salaries and cling to their so-called "iron rice bowls."

Internally, the factory has long since been completely renamed "Kanghua".

It became a wholly-owned private subsidiary of Kanghua Medical.

Management rights, decision-making rights, and financial rights

They were all firmly in the hands of Kanghua's CEO, Shi Zhong.

The reason why it was not made public or disclosed to the factory employees was simply Shi Zhong's calculation.

State-owned factories have policy support, stable supply and sales channels, and employees with decades of accumulated technical expertise.

It still carries the prestigious "state-owned" label.

With a high level of recognition within the industry, prematurely announcing the restructuring would inevitably cause employee unrest and ultimately hinder profitability.

The acquisition was completed quietly, while still maintaining the guise of a state-owned enterprise and continuing to operate under the name of a state-owned factory.

Firstly, this will stabilize all factory employees, allowing them to focus on producing consumables for Kanghua.

Secondly, by seizing market share, they can avoid public controversy surrounding private capital and benefit from both sides.

From beginning to end, Section Chief Wang was merely a pawn that Kang Hua had placed in the open.

He received a salary secretly paid by Kang Hua and obeyed Shi Zhong's orders.

He still thought he was a section chief in a state-owned enterprise, with a secure job.

This time, the purpose of going to Fu Hua to discuss cooperation was ostensibly to represent the state-owned medical device factory.

In reality, he was simply doing things for Kang Hua.

He didn't even consider who he was replying to.

.........

Fu Hua, Professor Yan, and Lu Tingxiao arranged to have dinner at a mid-range restaurant in Beijing.

This restaurant is clean and bright, specializing in Beijing-style home-style dishes.

Sweet and sour pork, crispy and delicious; braised pork ribs, tender and flavorful; and freshly made scallion pancakes, with an irresistible aroma.

The private room was warm and inviting, without any of the awkwardness often associated with formal social occasions.

The three met at the entrance and went into the private room together.

After sitting down and exchanging a few pleasantries, the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

Lu Tingxiao sat beside Fu Hua, his gaze inadvertently falling on her face, his eyes softening with a deep tenderness.

Fu Hua has now graduated and no longer attends classes.

He rarely had the chance to see her.

Lu Tingxiao was flattered to be invited to dinner today.

Her skin was even more radiant than before, and her eyes and brows were clear and bright.

Her entire demeanor became increasingly composed and captivating.

Lu Tingxiao's fingertips curled slightly as he subtly shifted his gaze away.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and the feelings he had kept hidden for so long quietly welled up again.

That's how it is; not every time can he fully immerse himself in his work.

But whenever he saw this person, a secret possessive desire would gnaw at his heart like a worm, leaving him no peace for a moment.

He felt he was very ill.

I just hope to spend more time by her side and help her accomplish all the things she wants to do.

Even if she has someone she likes, even if she chooses another man,

It doesn't matter, as long as I can see them and be with them, I'm content.

Professor Yan did not notice anything unusual about the student.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the cold dish,

He couldn't help but grumble at Fu Hua: "You child, we master and disciples can just have a hot meal at home, why do you have to come out and spend money like this?"

You're busy with R&D and running processes; making money isn't easy.
