Seeing everyone eagerly gobbling up their slices of apple, the stunningly curvaceous secretary hesitated, then picked up a piece herself. Her pearly teeth lightly parted…

Although she had caught a whiff of the fresh apple scent earlier, she actually didn't believe the apple's taste could be that remarkable.

Because she knew that, in the entire province, Lin Yongqiang's "Yongqiang Brand" was all the rage. As for fruits and vegetables developed by others, they were completely insignificant…

Her skepticism vanished completely the moment the apple flesh touched her tongue.

Because at that instant, she felt all her taste buds burst open.

"This… this taste is just too amazing!"

Murmuring to herself, she involuntarily closed her eyes.

With her eyes closed, she could vividly imagine herself in an endless forest.

In front of her lay a vast orchard with trees laden with ripe, hanging fruit.

…

After she had started working here, she had earned Lin Yongqiang's trust and could enjoy the 'Yongqiang Brand' fruits for free, so she had eaten them often.

The first time she had tasted them, she thought the 'Yongqiang Brand' fruits were impeccable.

But now, after this comparison, she realized the 'Yongqiang Brand' fruit was incomparably lacking.

"Perhaps I should consider becoming Hu Xiaobei's secretary now!"

Pondering this thought, she slowly opened her eyes to see others with the same look of astonishment on their faces…

"It seems everyone understands its value now!" she thought.

Looking down, she realized the peel she had earlier discarded had been eagerly eaten by them…

…

Watching them seem as if they would gladly eat even the apple cores, Lin Yongqiang's expression was incredibly dark…

"Tell me, what do you think of the taste of this apple?"

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to explode, he hoarsely asked.

Those scrambling for the last bits of the core looked embarrassingly at Lin Yongqiang's question…

Quickly, they all took their seats!

Once seated, they pondered how to respond; they really wanted to say the apple tasted terrible. But they couldn't voice that because it was truly sublime.

Amateurs watch the excitement; experts observe the technique.

Being absolute experts, they knew how difficult it was to cultivate fruit to this level…

And for that reason, they truly could not brazenly lie.

Seeing everyone unsure of what to say, Lin Yongqiang knew exactly what they were thinking…

With a faint sneer, Lin Yongqiang somberly said, "Since you all can't pinpoint any faults, it proves that it's quite good. So now we must seriously consider this competitor! With things as they are, go investigate more detailed information for me. I am ready to buy it outright."

"Acquire?"

"Yes, this Hu Xiaobei grew up in the countryside. To put it nicely, he's a farmer; to put it harshly, he's a bumpkin. Before this, the damn thing hadn't seen much money, so as long as we offer him a figure he can't resist, he'll surely fall over himself to hand the company over to me."

Dismissing Hu Xiaobei!

Even though Lin Yongqiang knew Hu Xiaobei had developed excellent fruits and vegetables, he still looked down on him.

That's exactly why he thought a bit of money would be enough to handle Hu Xiaobei.

"This…"

Hearing Lin Yongqiang's explanation, they thought it over and felt his reasoning actually made sense.

Hu Xiaobei was a farmer, so he indeed had his limitations.

"So, on many issues, there really is no profound insight, so just by giving him a bit more money, he really might transfer his company to us."

Seeing everyone agreed with him, Lin Yongqiang spoke indifferently, "Alright, that's it for today. Go and investigate thoroughly for me!"

"Yes."

Having agreed, everyone quickly left the room.

After everyone had departed, the seductively figured secretary locked the conference room door and lazily said, "Chairman Lin, I've heard it's super exciting in conference rooms, I want to try it!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

With an excited nod, he pounced on her directly.

"Ah, Chairman Lin, don't be so hasty! I saw a house I liked earlier, and I want to buy it."

"A house?"

"Yes, that way we'll have a home too! I believe Chairman Lin won't disagree, right?"

With such a rhetorical question, her meaty little feet, wrapped in black stockings, gently rubbed against his shin, causing Lin Yongqiang to completely lose his rationality.

"No problem, buy, buy, buy!"

"Chairman Lin is the best!"

With that giggle, she willingly stuck out her butt...

Seeing this, Lin Yongqiang's breathing became utterly rapid...

Over at Xiaohe Village, Hu Xiaobei looked at the somewhat flabbergasted Guo Meiyu and said, "Sister-in-law, you've been poring over that legal representative certificate hundreds of times since just now. Do you plan to read it hundreds more times?"

Previously, Hu Xiaobei's company had been established...

As Guo Meiyu had been agreed upon as the responsible person, Hu Xiaobei had brought over the certificate, but she kept staring at it for half an hour, leaving Hu Xiaobei somewhat speechless...

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Guo Meiyu spoke dryly, "Xiaobei, am I really the chairman of the company now?"

"Yes, Sister-in-law! You are indeed the chairman of the company now, from now on I shouldn't call you sister-in-law but Chairman Guo instead."

"Get out of here! You just love to tease your sister-in-law."

With a chuckle, Hu Xiaobei reminded her, "By the way, Sister-in-law, our company's office building and such are still under construction, so for now, let's just work from here, okay?"

"Okay!"

Having agreed, Hu Xiaobei and Guo Meiyu began tidying up the place...

After cleaning up, Guo Meiyu looked at Hu Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, our 'Xiaobei Brand' has really settled down here in Lake Heart City. Do you think we should consider expanding a little?"

"We don't need to rush; I suspect the 'Yongqiang Brand' will soon become impatient, so let's first see what they plan to do to deal with us.

"Xiaobei, if they play dirty, what shall we do?"

"If war comes, we block; if water comes, we cover with earth! Leave everything to me!"

After the breakthrough, Hu Xiaobei had become much stronger, so now he truly didn't care about any underhanded tactics they might play. Because Hu Xiaobei knew that all conspiracies are meaningless bluster in the face of absolute power.

"Okay!"

After parting ways with Guo Meiyu, Hu Xiaobei headed to his orchard.

From a distance, Hu Xiaobei could see the Treasure-hunting Rabbit lazily basking in the sun.

"Gosh, if only I could have days as carefree as this rabbit."

Muttering this a bit glumly, Hu Xiaobei quickly approached...

Hearing the noise, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit glanced over, recognized it was Hu Xiaobei, flipped over, and went back to sleep...

"Gosh! One of these days when I have the time, I must get you to find more treasures for me in the deep mountains..."

After speaking in frustration, Hu Xiaobei walked into the orchard and began to work seriously...
