Chapter 363: Exposed by Ling'er
Manager Liu slapped his chest and assured.
In fact, for him, whether it was selling medicine or toys, it was much the same: merely finding customers from the outside.
As a sales genius, and having scrambled in the business world for so many years, he was quite familiar with the operational routines of the city.
"If it can be produced, are you confident that you can establish a certain market presence?"
"That, there's no problem, but the key point is, our toys must have a unique selling point. Only then can I be confident and guarantee this.".
"Alright, once this matter is over, you and Brother Zhou sit down and have a good talk. One in charge of production, the other of sales. The two of you need to take care of this for me. Of course, I don't need too many orders in the early stage, just enough to keep the factory running."
"President Lin, does that mean you've decided to keep this factory?"
"Brother Zhou, since you've said so much, if I were to forcefully shut down the factory, wouldn't you curse my ancestors for eight generations?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than everyone burst into laughter, leaving Zhou Kongshan a bit embarrassed.
"No, no, President Lin, I would never do that. I will follow your arrangements, but I am speaking up for these workers as well."
"Yes, you speak for the workers, and I must also speak for you. How about it? Any difficulties?"
"No difficulties at all. There's some funding left in the factory at the moment, and refitting the production line shouldn't be a big issue. I'll make it a priority."
"Good, then there's one more thing for the two of you. At the toy factory, help me set up some spacious offices – and the area must be large."

"President Lin, what, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Kongshan was curious. He didn't know why he wanted the offices cleared out and what he planned to do with them.
"Of course, I'm going in. And since the company is closed and the pharmacy is out, renting these houses is pointless. Let's put them back on the market."
"Oh, are you going to work in the factory? Okay, no problem."
"Work? No no no no, you misunderstood. It's not for work. You just need to clear out the space for me, including whatever is needed inside – I will arrange that myself."
"Not to interrupt, President Lin, but aren't you going to the factory to manage it? And aren't there just desks and things inside?"
"No no, I'm not asking for that. Moreover, the location you find for me must be in a quiet and inconspicuous place."
"President Lin, if that's the case, I might as well find you a patch of empty space in the factory to build a new room for you."
"Heh, don't mention it, that actually is a great idea. Let's go with that."
Zhou Kongshan had said this casually, but to his surprise, Lin Yi took it seriously.
Well then, since the boss had spoken, under the current circumstances, erecting a room surely couldn't be stopped.
Besides, with a bare room, it seemed Lin Yi would have to prepare the interior by himself.
"President Lin, now that you've delegated these tasks, what do you plan to do?"
"What I do has nothing to do with your toy factory, so you don't need to know too much. All you need is to hold the fort for me; the rest doesn't concern you."
"Alright, we understand."
After Zhou Kongshan finished speaking, he just turned to look at Manager Liu.
He felt Manager Liu was truly full of questions and seemed to want to get to the bottom of things right there.
"Hey, Manager Liu, I have some things I need to discuss with you in detail. Shall we go to the factory now and talk on-site?"
"Oh, that's fine, that's fine. I'll go with you now. President Lin, you don't have any more business here, right?"
"Nothing more, there's nothing left. You two can go get ready. Also, about the factory matters, make sure to get it sorted for me, got it?"
"Got it, see you President Lin."
Finally, with all matters more or less handed off, the two men turned and left.
Now, only he and Ling'er were left.
Actually, Ling'er had always sensed something odd about him, his mood seeming a bit erratic.
"You definitely have something on your mind, President Lin. Are you keeping something from them? And it feels like the toy factory is just a façade, and what you're doing is selling dog meat under the guise of lamb."
Sure enough, Ling'er never let him down.
Her words struck the heart of the matter, and her keen insight saw through his actions and inner thoughts.
"Ling'er, to me, I did not keep you by my side in vain. Yes, using your sister-in-law's expression, it's exactly that: 'selling dog meat under the guise of lamb.'"
"But what does this 'dog meat' actually consist of? And just now, I heard you ask Hei Lang to find five patients with bone injuries. Does that mean, your intention is to practice medicine and save lives?"
"Right, Ling'er, you're correct. I've kept quiet about this in front of them because I wanted to keep this secret safeguarded. I just want to do these things undercover."
"But as far as I know, Brother Lin, you have no knowledge of medicine at all."
"Sigh, that was just because I hadn't studied it before. Actually, I have always had some interest in it, so I just learned but didn't tell you all."
"Why, though, are you specifically looking for patients with bone injuries?"
"Because I'm most proficient and familiar with the human skeletal and meridian systems. So, I want to start from the basics and work up from there. Gradually, we'll expand our medical scope."
"Then, what can I do?"
