My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 111 - 8: What Is a Surprise

Capital, Xiyang District, West Street, Zhao Tai International Center, Building C, 5th Floor, the capital branch of Hezhi New Drug Development Co., Ltd.

Shortly after 3 p.m., a black Mercedes S-Class stopped in front of the building.

A man about thirty got out of the driver's seat immediately to open the door for the rear passenger compartment.

"Thank you."

Huang Tianxuan wore a black business suit, with a plain white shirt underneath. The style was simple and the colors ordinary, but the tailored cut perfectly accentuated her waist and figure, further highlighting her owner's elegant and capable demeanor.

"Please take my luggage back to my residence."

"Alright."

After the two got out of the car, a man in his forties, wearing glasses and a suit, warmly greeted them.

"Welcome, Assistant Huang."

"Hello, Manager Wang."

Huang Tianxuan nodded slightly and shook hands with the person, walking into the building together.

Wang Zhan, the head of the Hezhi Capital branch, took advantage of the elevator ride to say with a smile, "I wonder if Assistant Huang checked the stock market today?"

"I took a glance while in the car; it went up by seven points."

"Yes, around noon, when the good news about our cooperation agreement with Yandu University International Hospital Group, the Dong Academician Workstation, and the Cardiovascular Center came out, Hezhi's stock price immediately soared, rising to a high of 9.34% at its peak and closing with an increase of 7.62%. Even I didn't expect the market to hold us in such high regard!"

As Wang Zhan continued speaking, his tone unexpectedly carried a hint of regret?

Huang Tianxuan understood in her heart and smiled, "It seems Manager Wang also bought some shares, but not too many?"

"Amazing, you guessed it!"

Wang Zhan was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily, "I bought too few, indeed too few, but I don't regret it. After all, I am considered a senior manager of the company. Buying too much would violate company policies and even the law. I wouldn't dare do that!"

Huang Tianxuan nodded noncommittally: "Hezhi's collaboration with the other three parties to conduct research on nine new generic drugs in three major areas—cardiovascular diseases, mental illnesses, and anti-tumor—under the leadership of the academician workstation is indeed a great opportunity, but also a challenge accompanied by risks."

"The estimated research period is one year, involving more than 400 researchers and an investment of 120 million. If the project doesn't achieve the expected completion and economic returns, it will not only disappoint many investors but also be a blow to us at Hezhi. The higher the stock rises now, the harder it will fall later."

Wang Zhan half-jokingly, half-seriously said: "That's why the chairman sent you to lead the way. I believe that under Assistant Huang's leadership, the project will be completed successfully."

"Haha, Manager Wang is praising me too much."

Huang Tianxuan smiled slightly: "But to be honest, I volunteered to come to the capital this time, not to say I'm leading the way. My main purpose is to study and further improve myself, to get a Ph.D. from Yandu University."

"Assistant Huang is being modest. Several projects within the company have achieved breakthroughs because of your presence behind the scenes; your management and research abilities are witnessed by all..."

During their casual conversation, the two arrived inside the company and entered the general manager's office, where a subordinate served them tea.

Wang Zhan continued to chat with Huang Tianxuan about other company matters before entering the main topic.

"The project has already started, and Academician Luo from Yandu University is very welcoming to your arrival. Assistant Huang, you can visit the laboratory to oversee and learn at any time. The residence we chose for you is near the lab, a three to five-minute walk away. I'm not sure if you'll be satisfied with the internal environment, but after we finish eating, I'll take you to have a look; if you're not satisfied, we can change it immediately."

Huang Tianxuan waved her hand: "You sent me indoor photos before, and I'm quite satisfied. I just had Xiaozheng send my luggage over. Manager Wang, you can carry on with your work, just give me a car, and let me explore the Capital by myself."

Wang Zhan hesitated: "The car is ready for you, it's the same Mercedes that picked you up. But... aren't you going to eat? Do you need me to arrange a driver for you? It'll be Xiaozheng who drove you earlier."

"No need."

Huang Tianxuan pondered: "You might have interacted more with my brother before, Manager Wang, so you're not too familiar with my personality. I'm a more pragmatic person. You might not understand what I'm saying now, but as we work together over time, you'll get it."

"I've heard about Assistant Huang's decisiveness and efficiency in handling tasks."

Wang Zhan nodded appreciatively: "Upon meeting you, you indeed live up to your reputation. Then I won't be polite, I'll follow Assistant Huang's lead."

The two chatted for more than half an hour, before the driver Xiaozheng returned.

"Manager."

Xiaozheng first greeted Wang Zhan, then said to Huang Tianxuan: "Miss Huang, your luggage has been placed in the house, and the housekeeper is helping you organize your clothes."

"Thank you."

Wang Zhan waved his hand: "Give Assistant Huang the house key and car key, and you drive that A8 from now on."

"Alright!"

Huang Tianxuan took the keys and started to get up: "Then Manager Wang, I'll be off. I haven't been to the capital for a long time, I'm a bit curious and want to explore."

"No problem! If you need anything, feel free to call me."

Wang Zhan stood up to see her off, but just as Huang Tianxuan reached the door, she stopped in her tracks and casually asked, "How far is it from here to North Huashi?"

"This..." Wang Zhan was uncertain.

Xiaozheng quickly answered: "Ten kilometers, a twenty-minute drive. If you're heading towards your residence, you can pass by."
