When Li Jialin saw the person sitting in her chair, her expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, "Chairman!"

The round-faced secretary and the secretary with gold-rimmed glasses at the door, upon hearing Li Jialin's words, had their faces freeze in shock. What did Li Jialin just call this young man who barged in?

Chairman?

While the two were still bewildered, Li Jialin had already hurried into the office, approached the desk, and spoke rapidly to Long Xiaoshan sitting there, "Chairman Long, how come you are here today?"

Long Xiaoshan flipped through the documents in his hand nonchalantly, raised his head, and smiled slightly, "I haven't been to the company for a long time, and I happened to be free today, so I thought I'd take a look. If I don't come by, I guess no one in the company would even know I exist, I was almost kicked out by security just now."

Li Jialin's gaze flickered rapidly, and she turned her head to bark, "Mary, what's the matter?"

The round-faced secretary's face was downcast, "Mr. Li, I... I didn't know he was the chairman."

"Chairman Long, Mary is new and hasn't seen you before, it might have been an oversight. Recently, the company's development has been going very well, I have hired quite a few new people to expand our business. In a moment, I'll hold a staff meeting, and I'd like you, Chairman Long, to speak to the employees to prevent such an incident from happening again," said Li Jialin.

Long Xiaoshan remained noncommittal, pointing at the secretary with gold-rimmed glasses, "Is this Vice President Situ also new here?"

The expression on the face of the secretary with gold-rimmed glasses became extremely unsightly upon realizing that Long Xiaoshan was indeed the chairman of the company.

Seeing Long Xiaoshan point at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and with reluctance, he greeted, "Chairman Long."

"How come I wasn't informed about this vice president's appointment?" asked Long Xiaoshan.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Long, this was my mistake. Mr. Situ Hui is from the Lily Hotel, assigned to the company's board. Since he is a board member, he holds the title of vice president of the company. I meant to inform you, but I couldn't reach you for some time," Li Jialin reported calmly.

"So he's from the Lily Hotel."

Long Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the desk a couple of times, his expression suddenly relaxed as he smiled, "Alright, don't be so serious. I'm just here for a casual visit today. I heard you've been doing quite well with the company recently, Jialin."

Li Jialin smiled faintly, "It's all thanks to your blessings, Chairman Long. It's been a long time since you've been to the company. How about I give you a report on the recent achievements right now?"

"Sure," Long Xiaoshan sat there.

Li Jialin quickly took out several documents from the bookshelf beside her to explain to Long Xiaoshan.

Long Xiaoshan could tell that the company had been developing very well recently.

The performance had nearly tripled, and the most impressive was the medicinal delicacy project managed by Li Jialin.

It had become a craze in Hong Kong, with astonishing daily sales, even resulting in purchase limits, and now Li Jialin was planning to expand into Zhonghai, Shenzhen City, and several other major first-tier cities.

After listening to Li Jialin's report.

Long Xiaoshan clasped his hands, leaned back in his chair, and rested against the back of the chair, seemingly asking without care, "The patent for these medicinal delicacies has been approved, right? Let me see."

Li Jialin paused for a moment and replied, "Chairman Long, the patent for food is rather complicated to verify, but it should be approved soon. Once I have it, I'll bring it to you immediately."

"Is that so?" Long Xiaoshan glanced at Li Jialin, but didn't pursue the matter further, "You've done well. I will consider granting you some stock options as an incentive at the next board meeting. Alright, I won't disturb your work anymore."

"Thank you, Chairman Long, but aren't you going to give a pep talk to the staff?" Li Jialin spoke swiftly.

"No need," he replied.

Long Xiaoshan waved his hand and, amidst the farewells of Li Jialin and others, left the company's main entrance.

Watching Long Xiaoshan depart, Li Jialin quickly returned to her CEO's office.

At that moment, another person entered through the door, Situ Hui, who had just been there before.

He quickly closed the door and said, "Amy, is this kid really the company's chairman?"

Li Jialin furrowed her brow, "Mr. Situ, is that question worth discussing?"

Situ Hui gave a sheepish smile, "I just can't stand this kid. The Longyang Group is worth over tens of billions, and how does this youngster merit a fortune of several billions and even have you working for him?"

Li Jialin did not utter a word but frowned as if contemplating something.

"Amy, do you think this kid has noticed something and that's why he came to the company today?" Situ Hui gazed at Li Jialin's stunningly beautiful mixed-race face, feeling a rush of heat within him. If possible, he truly wanted to conquer this cold and noble woman, but he also knew how proud she was. Even his identity as a member of the Situ family might not catch her eye.

Li Jialin shook her head, "It's still unclear at this point, but we need to move quickly now. Have the Situ family sorted out the patent issue?"

Situ Hui replied, "Don't worry, it's just a patent right. How could the Situ family not handle it? Amy, we really don't need to be so cautious—an insignificant peasant at most. With the Situ family and your Hong Kong Li Family, and if we also bring in the Gu family, when united, where would a mere peasant have the slightest chance to resist?"

Li Jialin took a deep breath, dispelling that slight inexplicable pressure in her heart.

Although what Situ Hui said was somewhat arrogant,

that's exactly what she believed inwardly. The Situ family was a major clan in the southwest, ranking among the top five in the region, and their Li family, one of the Top Ten Families of Hong Kong, had nearly a hundred billion in assets. If they could also bring Gu Jingheng into the fold, that would mean adding another one of the Top Ten Families of Hong Kong. With such power, it wasn't just the likes of Long Xiaoshan but even high-ranking officials in Xichuan who wouldn't dare to slight them.

Even though she had felt somewhat uneasy upon seeing Long Xiaoshan,

she now thought herself too paranoid.

Long Xiaoshan,

don't blame me.

A man is not guilty for having a gem; his crime is being a mere peasant with a cornucopia in hand. As one of the top business elites, she was all too aware of the value of the resources in Long Xiaoshan's possession—they were worth far more than a mere hundred billion.

If managed properly, it might even be possible to create another Li family.

This was an opportunity she could not possibly let slip by.

Ambition blazed in Li Jialin's eyes.

She was unaware that in the crevices beneath her chair, a thin jade piece as small as a fingernail emitted a glimmer invisible to the naked eye.

In the room on the farm,

Long Xiaoshan flicked his finger, and a beam of light traveled through the air, forming a thin screen of light. Then the voices of Li Jialin and Situ Hui sounded in the spacious room as though conversing through empty space. Anyone walking in and hearing the two people talking would surely think they had seen a ghost.
