Chapter 82

At that time, far away in Jiangcheng, Ling Canghai was attending a business banquet with his second son. Bai’s Pharmaceutical, located in the neighboring city of Liuzhou, had recently expressed interest in tendering projects in Jiangcheng. Given their status in Liuzhou, many powerful figures were eyeing a potential partnership, and Ling Group was naturally no exception. Today’s banquet was hosted by Bai’s Pharmaceutical specifically to facilitate face-to-face exchanges with potential partners in Jiangcheng. Ling Canghai had long since made it his business to learn the preferences of Bai Niantang, the chairman of Bai’s Pharmaceutical: he loved Western musical instruments, especially the piano. Knowing this, Ling Canghai broke his usual habit of taking only his eldest son to important events and brought Ling Yeli along instead, hoping to cater to the chairman’s tastes.
