Chapter 330 - Li Zhaojun Begins to Suspect

Ye Fan glanced at Long Aotian and, combined with the incident involving Xiao Yichen at the IAPM shopping center the night before last, surmised that Long Aotian must be aware of his true relationship with Li Zhaojun.

However, Long Aotian pretended not to recognize him, and he couldn’t be bothered to interact.

After greeting Li Zhaojun, Long Aotian wasn’t in a hurry to continue the conversation with her.

Instead, he turned and stood next to her, facing the stage, watching Mo Xiaoyan.

Two or three minutes later, Mo Xiaoyan finished her speech on the stage, and Dongfang Yunqi announced the official start of the party.

Everyone dispersed freely within the party hall, mostly in groups of threes and twos, chatting.

The sound of piano music filled the air, and a group of young women, beautiful as flowers, slowly entered and dispersed throughout the hall.

As people broke away in front of the stage, Long Aotian immediately turned to Li Zhaojun and said, “Li Zhaojun, it’s rare to encounter old acquaintances in foreign lands.

You’ve been rooted in Hua Hai City for many years and are familiar with its business environment.

Could you introduce me?”

He then assumed the air of someone seeking advice.

Li Zhaojun replied indifferently, “Long Aotian, this isn’t the place for reunions.

You have your missions, and I have my work.

Let’s not waste time here.”

With that, she immediately turned to leave.

The Long family was looking to enter Hua Hai City with an investment of over five billion and a large amount of other resources.

As the main person in charge, how could Long Aotian actually need her, Li Zhaojun, to introduce him to the business environment?

She knew right away what Long Aotian was up to.

Long Aotian followed and blocked her path, saying, “Wait.”

Li Zhaojun stopped.

“Hehe, your Emali Group is also a local enterprise in Hua Hai City.

I wonder if you’re interested in cooperating with the Long family?

After all, as acquaintances, we know each other well.

We could cooperate without having to guard against each other; it would be easy and pleasant,” Long Aotian proposed.

“The Long family is an external business force in Hua Hai City, while Emali Group has always been striving to root itself locally here.

At least for the next five years, Emali Group will only partner with groups or companies that have grown more locally.

Do you think there’s any possibility for discussion between us?” Li Zhaojun said softly.

Long Aotian was momentarily at a loss for words.

Li Zhaojun walked past Long Aotian, and Ye Fan naturally followed.

Watching Li Zhaojun’s graceful figure, Long Aotian’s proud face showed a faint smile as he thought, “Others may be wary of you because you’re from the Li family, but I, Long Aotian, am not concerned at all.

I have plenty of ways to deal with you.

Let’s play a long game.”

Having walked six or seven meters away from Long Aotian, Li Zhaojun asked Ye Fan in a low voice, full of curiosity, “Long Aotian doesn’t recognize you?”

She was fully aware that Ye Fan was even more formidable than Long Aotian.

Long Aotian not only failed to recognize Ye Fan but also dared to try and seduce her in front of him, which surprised her.

“I never hung out with them when I was young, so of course they don’t recognize me,” Ye Fan said calmly.

From birth, Ye Fan was the great hope of the Ye family.

He had undergone strict training from a young age and also began to learn ancient martial arts at ten.

At sixteen, he joined the military, and at eighteen, he joined the Dragon Group and went to Africa to serve the country.

His path was completely different from that of the ordinary elites.

It wasn’t just Long Aotian who didn’t know him; most of the elites in Jingcheng didn’t either.

“Oh,” Li Zhaojun responded and suddenly thought of something.

Wait a minute!

I never took our childhood betrothal seriously and didn’t pay special attention to him, but how come I’ve never heard anything about him?

After all, he’s the legitimate third generation of the Ye family, an elite among the elites.

No matter how insignificant he may be, there should have been at least some information about him in Jingcheng’s elite circles?

With that thought, she abruptly stopped and turned her gaze to Ye Fan.

Startled by Li Zhaojun’s sudden move, Ye Fan asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

Li Zhaojun stared intently into Ye Fan’s deep, lustrous eyes and said seriously, “Ye Fan, I think you and I need to have a serious talk.”

“A talk?

About what?” Ye Fan was unsure what Li Zhaojun was referring to.

Li Zhaojun withdrew her gaze and said softly, “After the party ends, we’ll talk back at the villa.”

Without waiting for the confused Ye Fan, she turned away and began looking for the person she intended to meet that night.

However, the next moment, the other person she was looking for approached her.

“Ha ha, Director Li.” A middle-aged man in his mid-forties came over with a glass of red wine, followed by a beautiful assistant.

Li Zhaojun’s stunning face showed a faint smile as she said, “President Zheng, I was just about to look for you for a chat.”

Ye Fan took measure of the man named President Zheng and quickly knew who he was.

The Emali Group had established a Biomedical Co., Ltd.

and was breaking into the biomedical field.

However, as society values division of labor and efficiency, the newly established Emali Biomedical Co., Ltd.

couldn’t possibly establish a long production chain instantly.

For the initial phase, the upstream raw materials for molecular biology products such as DNA polymerase, plasmid purification kits, PCR product purification kits, gel recovery kits, dNTPs, vectors, and more had to be purchased from other upstream biomedical companies.

Therefore, finding upstream biomedical companies to partner with was essential.

That President Zheng, named Zheng Liangyu, was the general manager of Yongkang Pharmaceutical Group.

Although Yongkang Pharmaceutical Group also developed its own final biomedical products, its main focus was still on producing upstream molecular biology products for the biomedical industry.

Seeing that Li Zhaojun was interested in cooperating, Zheng Liangyu laughed heartily and said, “Great minds think alike.

Director Li, let’s sit over there and talk.”

He pointed to a table and a set of sofas near the wall.

Li Zhaojun nodded slightly and headed towards the table.

After sitting on the sofa, Li Zhaojun guessed that Ye Fan wouldn’t be interested in lengthy, dull business negotiations.

She turned to Ye Fan and said, “You can move around freely.

But don’t go too far.”

“Sure.

Call me if you need me,” said Ye Fan, relieved, and then he got up and walked away.

After leaving Li Zhaojun’s side, Ye Fan casually picked up a glass of red wine and found a sofa to sit down on.

Just as he settled down and was halfway through his wine, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and he looked up to see a sexy and elegant figure standing before him, topped with a stunning face brimming with a charming smile.

“Hehe, Sister Zhao,” Ye Fan stood up to face Zhao Tianya.

“Ye Fan, when did you become Li Zhaojun’s assistant?

How come I never knew?” Zhao Tianya asked with a smile.

“Also, you’ve been promoted and didn’t even tell me.

Are you afraid I’ll ask you to treat me to a meal?”

Ye Fan responded with a light smile: “Being an assistant isn’t necessarily a good thing; it’s not something to celebrate, so there’s no need to tell everyone.

By the way, it seems like you’re quite close to Li Zhaojun?”
