"Oh! Oh! Shawn, we really have to thank you again! You truly are a lifesaver for us siblings!" David Wang hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Shawn Young once more.
"Uh, Mr. Wang, you don't have to be so polite. By the way, how did you and your sister end up in such a remote place?" Shawn Young changed the topic and asked.
"Sigh—it was all because of that guy with the mustache! He pretended to be a farmer-entrepreneur and tricked us into coming here to 'visit the plantation.' Turns out, he's actually one of Goldtooth's henchmen—the most notorious boss in the Qingping area! We really fell into a trap this time!" David Wang said, looking frustrated.
"Uh—a farmer-entrepreneur? Plantation? What are you guys involved in to get mixed up with a crime boss? I heard them say they were going to teach you a lesson!" Rainie Cheng asked, frowning.
"Oh! We're with Oceanic Holdings. The company recently landed a few municipal real estate projects in Qingping City—projects that were highly sought after by a boss nicknamed 'Goldtooth.' But our company is strong and reputable, so we won the contracts for these municipal development projects. During the bidding, Goldtooth's company lost out and has been unhappy with Oceanic Holdings ever since. When they found out we planned to build a medicinal plant and animal cultivation base in Qingping, they sent that mustached guy pretending to be a local entrepreneur to lure us here for a 'site inspection.' And—well, that's how we ended up in this mess!" David Wang explained.
"Oh! Oceanic Holdings! That's a world-renowned multinational corporation!" Shawn Young exclaimed in surprise. He certainly knew about Oceanic Holdings—a famous group both nationwide and internationally.
"Yes, Oceanic Holdings is a multinational group—a large, integrated, technology-based company involved in chemicals, biopharmaceuticals, tourism, and real estate development! In recent years, besides real estate, we've been focusing on biopharmaceutical engineering, so developing the medicinal plant and animal cultivation base is a key project. Building a biopharmaceutical factory is also our future goal!" David Wang, talking business, became animated, showing his true businessman side.
"So, Mr. Wang, your position at Oceanic Holdings must be pretty high up?" Shawn Young asked.
"Uh—well, I'm actually the current president of Oceanic Holdings. It's been a family business passed down through the Wang family. Since my father wanted to return to his roots—and with China's booming economy—the headquarters moved from the US to China. We're one of the few big family-run enterprises left, and most of the major decisions are made by me!" David Wang said, a bit embarrassed.
"Oh! Oh! I remember now, you're David Wang—the one who always appears on those finance talk shows! Haha, you're the idol of tons of college students, especially the dream guy for girls all over the country! Finally, I get to meet you in person today!" Shawn Young said, grinning at David Wang.
David Wang was actually quite handsome and dignified. Even though his clothes were a bit tattered and his hair and face were smeared with mud, making him look a little rough, he still couldn't hide his charisma. He gave a wry smile and said, "Sigh—idol, huh! I always thought I was sharp and experienced, but today I got tricked by a little gangster! If anyone I know saw me like this, they'd die laughing! Sigh—"
"Hehe—Bro, I didn't expect you to be so popular with the ladies! Haha—if our sister-in-law found out, do you think she'd get jealous?" Minnie Wang suddenly joked from the side.
"Uh—Minnie, stop teasing your brother. I'm already a mess, and if your sister-in-law found out, she'd be worried sick! She might even oppose our plans! So don't mention this to her, okay? Remember, the whole idea for developing the Southwest medicinal plant and animal cultivation park came from you, and I've always backed you up!" David Wang shook his head and reminded Minnie Wang.
"Oh—that's very likely, so I won't say a word! I won't tell our sister-in-law either! Happy now? I don't want my plans ruined!" Minnie Wang said, sticking out her cute little tongue.
"Hmm? Miss Wang, you came up with the idea for the medicinal plant and animal cultivation park?" Rainie Cheng asked curiously from the side.
"Yes! I studied bioengineering in college abroad. Our Southwest region in China has a huge variety of medicinal plants and animals—perfect for developing as raw materials for biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceuticals are the most advanced and promising industry of the 21st century, so Oceanic Holdings has its own research team and bio lab. We're planning to focus heavily on biopharmaceuticals in the future, and building a cultivation base for medicinal plants and animals is a must! This way, we won't have to import so many raw materials from abroad, it'll save costs, and our company can guarantee the quality!" Minnie Wang explained passionately.
"Oh, very impressive, Miss Wang! You really have a strategic vision. Which university abroad did you graduate from?" Rainie Cheng asked with a smile.
"Oh, my little sister is an outstanding graduate of ETH Zurich—the highest-educated member of the Wang family! Haha—" David Wang said, smiling as he introduced her.
"Wow—ETH Zurich! That's amazing! I heard it's a century-old university, packed with talent! It's the top engineering school in Europe, and even Einstein graduated from there! Miss Wang, as an outstanding alumna, you must be really skilled! No wonder you have such vision!" Rainie Cheng exclaimed.
