141: Chapter 141 Gene Therapies

Lü Guangming's downfall caused Li Runfa to completely lose his greatest reliance.

At this moment, Li Runfa didn't know whether he should be happy or despairing.

He was happy because he didn't have to personally paint his own head green again.

But he was in despair because Runfa Group was inching closer and closer to the abyss.

The investment promotion for Tianyu Building had run into massive problems again.

Not only did the membership supermarket from United States refuse to move in,

but several international brands were also unwilling to invest because they weren't optimistic about the location and there was no celebrity effect.

The Yunjing Tiancheng residential project finally went on sale today.

However, the average price of 90,000 per square meter made the upper class of Qiantang hesitate and stay away.

The question of whether the neighboring sewage plant would be built was shelved again because there was no longer a mayor.

What made Li Runfa feel even more like a crumbling mountain was that Songshi Group suddenly demanded that Runfa Group settle all payments for construction materials by the end of the year.

The Song father and son even quietly leaked news that Runfa Group's cash flow was starting to get tight!

If they didn't get the payment now, the credit period would likely be extended indefinitely.

As a result, the various construction teams contracted by Runfa Group followed suit.

They all demanded immediate payment for the previously delayed bills. Otherwise, they would go on strike!

Zhou Wanqing sat in her office scrolling through the news, sighing in her heart, "Su Nange is truly too venomous!"

"Is he the reincarnation of Jia Xu?"

Jin Hongmei, the top finance executive of Runfa Group, helplessly offered a suggestion to Li Runfa beside her: "Chairman, why don't we reduce our holdings of land reserves?"

"While market prices are still stable, we should sell quickly."

"Or, we could sell off some ongoing construction projects."

"Otherwise, half of December will be over soon, and the cash on our books won't be enough to pay all those construction fees."

Li Runfa shook his head: "No, selling off a large amount of land will instead cause land prices to drop."

"Why don't we mortgage them to the bank? That should solve our immediate crisis."

Jin Hongmei nodded: "That works too!"

Ye Tingting received another call from Li Runfa.

But now, she no longer needed to be subservient in front of this tycoon.

Even if she quit her bank job now, she could fully support herself. She had never dared to imagine before that her idol, Sun Feifei, would personally help her secure business deals.

She was now the only person in the branch who left work on time. She couldn't even keep up with all the requests for commercial photoshoots.

"Chairman Li, what is it?"

"Tingting, how are you? Didn't you keep asking me before if I wanted a loan?"

"Why don't you come over tomorrow? I'll have our Chief Financial Officer talk to you. And we can have dinner together while we're at it."

Ye Tingting sneered inwardly. At a time like this, he's still trying to get with me?

However, since Nange had instructed her, there was no reason not to take the business that was being handed to her on a silver platter.

Ye Tingting nodded and said, "Alright, I'll come visit tomorrow!"

Meanwhile, Su Nange was meeting someone at a coffee shop.

His old classmate, Liu Hao, had arrived.

Su Nange felt a bit of a headache. Didn't he know I'm very busy right now? Besides, coming to a place like this with another man felt really strange.

Su Nange sat with his legs crossed: "Why did you suddenly come to the provincial capital?"

Liu Hao handed an Americano to Su Nange and said, "I came for a meeting at the provincial office, so I thought I'd look you up. What, aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

Su Nange: "Sure, no problem. No time like the present, let's do it tonight."

Liu Hao nodded: "Hehe, there's one more thing I'm looking for you for."

"What?"

"The class reunion is next week. I came specifically to tell you that I've already signed your name up!"

"Sigh, why do you insist on me going to some class reunion? To be honest, I can't even remember some of our classmates' names now. It'll be so awkward if I go."

"What's the big deal? Isn't it because we haven't seen each other in years that we need to get back in touch?"

Su Nange looked down at the low table; there was also a hazelnut latte sitting there.

"You invited someone else too."

Liu Hao gave a mysterious smile: "Hehe, yes, they'll be here any minute."

Sure enough, a woman's voice rang out: "Liu Hao, Nange, hello!"

Su Nange looked back and felt a bit helpless.

But he had to admit, this woman was quite easy on the eyes. She wore Korean-style clothes and had big wavy hair, yet she didn't look overly seductive. Under her short skirt were thin stockings and knee-high boots.

Chen Liuxin, the former school beauty of Lu City No. 2 Middle School.

Liu Hao greeted her: "Liuxin, come sit. I've already ordered your coffee. And tonight, Nange is treating us as the host."

Su Nange asked, "Do you keep in touch with her often?"

"Nange, you didn't know? Liuxin and I are both at the same financial company now. Just in different branches."

"The provincial office organized a training session recently, so she and I happened to be together."

Chen Liuxin sat down and smiled at Liu Hao: "Nange and I are neighbors now."

Su Nange felt awkward. If I freaking knew you guys were buying a house there too, I wouldn't have gone there even if I were beaten to death.

However, a flicker of hard-to-detect cunning flashed in the depths of Liu Hao's eyes.

Chen Liuxin asked again: "By the way, Nange, when I went to the new house these past two days, I saw a beautiful young lady with long legs. Is she your girlfriend?"

Su Nange nodded: "Yes."

Liu Hao had seen Su Nange's girlfriend; she was indeed a goddess-level figure. He had to admit, this kid was really a dark horse.

However, Liu Hao had his own schemes.

He had liked Chen Liuxin since high school. But he had been beaten to the punch by Wang Qiang, a nouveau riche whom he had always looked down upon.

So, after seeing Su Nange, he suddenly thought if he could use this guy to drive a wedge between Chen Liuxin and Wang Qiang.

After all, back then everyone knew that Chen Liuxin had written a love letter to Su Nange. There were rumors circulating then that the two were a couple in private.

As long as Wang Qiang and Su Nange got into a conflict, wouldn't he have a chance?

But what kind of person was Su Nange? He had already realized something was wrong. So, he didn't want to attend any class reunion at all.

Besides, he still had a mountain of things to deal with.

He also had to find time to grind for money. In another day or two, the nuclear submarine orca would be arriving!

At this moment, Su Nange prayed in his heart: Someone save me, someone please save me!

Sure enough, Su Nange's phone rang at that moment. Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be his most respected Director!

Su Nange immediately picked up, intentionally putting it on speaker: "Hello, Director Qin, what can I do for you?"

"Mr. Su, is anyone with you right now? Can you find a private space? I have something important to discuss with you!"

Su Nange gave the two an apologetic smile and walked away first.

"Director Qin, go ahead."

"There's been progress regarding that assassin who turned into a monster. If it's convenient, could you come to the Municipal Bureau?"

This was exactly what Su Nange wanted.

So, he apologized to the two: "I'm really sorry, I have some urgent business. I probably won't be able to stay with you tonight. Next time, I'll definitely make it up to you next time!"

Chen Liuxin was quite understanding: "Then go ahead, work comes first."

Liu Hao thought it was fine too; this way, it would just be him and Chen Liuxin on a solo date.

Su Nange quickly arrived at the Municipal Bureau.

Qin Jiazheng took out a report and said: "Nange, according to our experts' analysis of the drug residue in the syringe, this is a substance capable of altering genes."

"To a certain extent, it can indeed help humans completely solve many medical conditions. The most direct and effective use, for example, is being able to inhibit infinitely dividing cancer cells."

"It could even make humans like whales or elephants, who can almost never get cancer."

"However, it's clear that this drug is not yet mature. It has certain side effects that will change the human body in unknown directions."

"Just like that assassin."

Su Nange nodded: "So that's how it is. Can we manufacture this drug?"

Qin Jiazheng shook his head: "For now, I'm afraid not. The side effects are too great."

"However, it's precisely because of this assassin incident that our experts also analyzed the potion you provided from a genetic perspective."

"Sure enough, these two potions share similar principles. It's just that the potion you provided is more mature, stable, and reliable."

"But if we want to replicate it on a large scale, I'm afraid it can't be done in a short time."

Su Nange was very surprised, even feeling his scalp tingle.

The recovery potion was something he bought from the game. But the assassin's drug truly existed in reality.

And you're saying these two things are actually related now?

Then, Qin Jiazheng said with some difficulty: "Nange, although I haven't known you for long, I don't doubt your ability or character in the slightest!"

"So, I also understand that having another identity might make things difficult for you."

"But standing on the interests of the people, I still want to ask you."

"Can you help investigate these two types of drugs?"

Su Nange had a bit of a headache.

It seems being a fake special agent really isn't easy!

Wait, that's not right! Since Lester could contact the high-level officials of China through various connections,

then his identity as a special agent couldn't really be considered fake! Just like the recovery potion, it really could save people!

Su Nange thought for a moment and then made a decision.

"Director Qin, don't worry. It's just that I still have some things to deal with. When it's convenient, I'll make a trip to the other side of the ocean!"

Qin Jiazheng gave him a grateful look: "Nange, thank you so much!"
