The trees on this hill were lush and green, and the environment looked very peaceful. However, Xia Ruofei was keenly aware of the strict security under this tranquility. He didn't even need to use his mental strength. Just by relying on his professional sixth sense, he could find that there were many hidden sentries arranged in many hidden positions.
The car drove directly to the road up the mountain. After driving on the flat asphalt road for a few hundred meters, they came across the first sentry post after a turn. The sentry post was guarded by soldiers with live ammunition.
Chen Gang slowly slowed down the car and pressed down the window.
Song Rui explained, "There are many retired comrades living here, so a regiment of soldiers is stationed here all year round to guard. The entry and exit checks are very strict. If no one picks you up, you won't be able to get in."
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded without saying anything. In fact, he could see that although these soldiers were all elites in the army, with his current cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult to sneak in by avoiding the open sentry posts and hidden sentries.
Of course, Xia Ruofei wouldn't be stupid enough to expose them.
After checking and registering, the car continued to move forward.
There were at least five sentry posts along the way, and countless hidden sentries.
Finally, the car turned a corner, and a spacious yard under the shade of green trees appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There were two soldiers with live ammunition standing at the gate of the yard, looking ahead vigilantly.
Chen Gang poked his head out and waved his hand. The two soldiers immediately opened the gate, and the car drove directly into the yard.
"We're here!" Song Rui said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei and the other two got out of the car. Song Rui said, "Grandpa is in the backyard! I'll take you in! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, then said to Chen Gang, "Staff Officer Chen, thank you!"
Chen Gang was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Xia Ruofei to specifically thank him. However, he immediately recovered and said, "You're welcome! This is my job! "
Xia Ruofei nodded at Chen Gang, then followed Song Rui inside.
This was a traditional old house with three entrances. There was a spacious parking lot in the front yard, where guards, cooks, and other staff lived. The middle yard was where Master Song usually worked and met with guests. Some of his followers could also stay here. The backyard was where Master Song rested. The environment was the most secluded. Without permission, even the descendants of the Family Song couldn't enter at will.
Song Rui brought Xia Ruofei through the middle yard. Standing at the door of the backyard, he said, "I can only bring you here...... Go in and see the old man! .........
........ com.................
. Once Xia Ruofei entered the backyard, he felt as if he had come to a paradise. The style here was completely different from the front yard.
There was a long vegetable field in the yard. There were many vegetables growing on it. On the other side, there was a grape trellis covered with grapevines. Under the grape trellis, there was a stone table and stone benches.
Some planting tools were placed in an orderly manner against the courtyard wall. It looked like an ordinary farmyard.
Director Lu had obviously received the news from the front yard and was already waiting in the yard.
When he saw Xia Ruofei, he smiled and greeted him. "Xiao Xia, the chief has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Xia Ruofei quickly said, "Oh! Then I must have sinned. How could I let the old man wait for me? "
Director Lu laughed and said, "Xiao Xia! The chief has been talking about you a lot during this period of time! The chief has been back in the capital for so long, but you haven't thought of coming to see him … "
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "I've been busy with mundane affairs. Besides, Master Song's identity is special. If I came often, it would be inconvenient …"
"His identity is special to others!" Director Lu smiled and said, "The chief treats you like his own descendant. If you want to see the chief, you can come anytime."
"I know, Director Lu!" Xia Ruofei said with warmth in his heart.
The backyard wasn't big. As the two of them spoke, they had already passed through the courtyard and arrived at the central room.
"Chief, Xiao Xia is here!" Director Lu said at the door.
Master Song was sitting in the middle of the central room. There were many people sitting on both sides of the room. They all looked over at the source of the sound.
Xia Ruofei quickly took a few steps forward and walked into the central room. He respectfully said to Master Song, "Chief, today is your birthday. I wish you happiness as great as the East Sea and eternal as the South Mountain!"
Master Song's hair and beard were all white, but he was in good spirits. He looked at Xia Ruofei with a warm gaze. After laughing, he said, "Thank you for your blessings! Xiao Xia, come and sit! "
Xia Ruofei walked forward. He had already seen the people in the room. Besides Master Song's children, there were also a few leaders who were close to Master Song. Among them were Tian Huilan, who had been transferred to the capital, and Lieutenant General Zhao Cheng, whom Xia Ruofei had helped treat for diabetes.
It seemed that although Master Song's birthday was a family banquet, leaders who were close to him of a certain level were invited.
Of course, Master Song still remembered Xia Ruofei and asked Song Rui to personally call and invite him. This made him very touched.
Tian Huilan, Zhao Cheng, Song Rui's father, Song Zhengping, and Master Song's other children, who had interacted with Master Song a few times during Master Song's treatment, all smiled and nodded at Xia Ruofei. The others looked at Xia Ruofei curiously.
Those who could sit with Master Song in the backyard were definitely high-ranking leaders or children of high status in the Family Song family. Xia Ruofei didn't seem to be either of those. At the same time, he was so young. Yet, Master Song, who had always been very serious, was so kind to him. Naturally, everyone was filled with curiosity.
After Xia Ruofei sat down, Master Song smiled and asked, "Xiao Xia, I heard from Xiao Rui that … you happened to be in the capital on a business trip this time?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, chief. Our company has recently developed a new line of skincare products. This time, I'm mainly here to be the brand ambassador."
Master Song asked curiously, "Your company actually produces skincare products? Aren't you mainly in agricultural products? "
Xia Ruofei scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "This is a natural skincare product made from pure Chinese medicine. It's also a prescription that I accidentally got. Later, I tried to make some for my relatives and friends to use. The effect was very good, so I thought of a way to mass produce it …"
"Oh … pure Chinese medicine! With an expert like you making it, the effect will definitely be very good! "Master Song said with a smile.
Some of the people present didn't know much about Xia Ruofei. When they saw that Master Song was actually concerned about such a small matter and even asked a few questions with interest, they were even more surprised. They couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei a few more times.
After Tian Huilan heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask, "Ruofei, this skincare product you're talking about, it can't be … Jade Skin Ointment, right?"
After Xia Ruofei made the Jade Skin Ointment, he also gave a lot to Tian Huilan and Lu You, so she was very clear about the magical effect of the Jade Skin Ointment. But after all, she was an elder. After the Jade Skin Ointment was used up, she was too embarrassed to ask Xia Ruofei for more.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Auntie Tian, this is the Jade Skin Ointment. We have now found a way to mass produce it. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be on the market soon."
Master Song's daughter, Song Zhi Lan, had also used the Jade Skin Ointment. Of course, she only got one, and it was also given to her by Tian Huilan.
After hearing this, Song Zhi Lan's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "The Jade Skin Ointment is finally going to be mass produced! That's great … Little Xia, when can we buy it? "
Seeing this, Master Song couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little Xia, it seems that the effect of your company's Jade Skin Ointment is really good! Lian Huilan and Zhi Lan can't hold it in anymore … "
Tian Huilan was a ministerial leader, and although Song Zhi Lan didn't participate in politics, she was responsible for the management of the Family Song industry. The flow of funds under her hands was easily in the hundreds of millions. The two of them were actually so concerned about the news of the Jade Skin Ointment. It could be seen how attractive this product was.
Xia Ruofei touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "I still have confidence in the product's effect. But as for how the sales will be after it is released, it still depends on the market test!"
Then Xia Ruofei said to Song Zhi Lan, "Auntie Song, the approval process for the Jade Skin Ointment has been completed. Now, all the preparations are going smoothly. It should be on the market within a month at the latest. But our initial production is limited, and there may not be a lot of stock in Beijing."
"So it's like this …" Song Zhi Lan said, "It's okay, then I'll ask Xiao Rui to help me buy more in the Southeast Province!"
Although Tian Huilan didn't say anything, his expression was eager to try. Obviously, he was also very tempted.
Xia Ruofei's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile, "Auntie Tian, Auntie Song, I also brought some products with me when I came to Beijing this time. Tomorrow, I'll ask Song Rui to get some for you. You can share it with your friends and relatives. If it's useful, help us advertise it!"
Although Xia Ruofei had given Tian Huilan a lot of Jade Skin Ointment before, and it had been popular in the small circle for a while, he didn't want to immediately mass produce it, so the amount he brewed was very small.
Now that he was ready to go on the market on a large scale, he also had a lot of hand-brewed Jade Skin Ointment in the Ring-Tu space. In Feng Jing's sales plan, there was a limited edition hand-brewed Jade Skin Ointment, so Xia Ruofei had already asked Xia Qing to start brewing it in the space, so that he had enough stock.
Xia Ruofei suddenly realized that upper-class ladies like Tian Huilan and Song Zhi Lan would be very good promoters for the Jade Skin Ointment. He was very confident in the efficacy of the Jade Skin Ointment. As long as he took out a small amount of Jade Skin Ointment, this magical product would first become popular in the upper-class circle. After a period of time, when it went on the market, he would receive very good results.
Even these upper-class people were rushing like ducks. This was simply the best advertisement.
Master Song laughed and said, "Xiao Xia, you have a good business mind!"
None of the people present were simple people. After a little thinking, they naturally understood Xia Ruofei's intention, and they all showed kind smiles.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "To forge iron, one needs to be strong. The main thing is that I have confidence in my product …"
Master Song said seriously, "Yes! If the product is not good, even if it is advertised well, the users won't buy it! This is the case in business, and isn't it the same in politics? "
Elder Song's sons and daughters, as well as the military and political officials, were all deep in thought.
Master Song just sighed and didn't preach so much. Soon, he looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "By the way, I remember that you also developed a special drug to treat autism. How is the project now?"
Xia Ruofei quickly said, "It's still in the clinical trial stage. The approval process of the drug is relatively complicated, but everything is going very smoothly. It's not far from the official market …"
Master Song said with relief, "Very good! This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people! Every year, a large number of children with autism are born in our country. So far, there is no special drug for autism in the world. Your company can develop this drug, which is tantamount to filling the gap in the world's medical field! You must do this well. If you have any difficulties, you can directly report to me! "
Xia Ruofei's expression turned solemn as he respectfully said, "Yes, Chief!"
Tian Huilan also looked at Xia Ruofei with some emotion. She could empathize with the pain of an autistic family, because her sister Tian Huixin had encountered such misfortune. It was also because of Xia Ruofei that Huanhuan could walk out of her lonely world and become a cheerful and lively normal child.
Master Song then asked about Xia Ruofei's company. The more they listened, the more they felt that Xia Ruofei was not simple. It was not because Xia Ruofei had such a big business at such a young age. In fact, Xia Ruofei's business was very small in the eyes of everyone in this room. However, it was the first time that they saw Master Song actually care about such trivial matters of Xia Ruofei's business. They were more and more shocked.
Master Song usually dealt with national affairs. It was no exaggeration to say that the personnel appointment of a department or even a deputy department leader was not a big deal to Master Song. Even though he had retired, his influence was still huge. Perhaps a sentence from him could decide the direction of a policy.
Now, he was actually so concerned about a small company in Southeast Province. This young man's future was limitless!
Master Song chatted with Xia Ruofei very kindly for a while, then said with a smile, "Ruofei, go ahead and find Song Rui and the others! It's time to eat in a while! I guess you'll feel uncomfortable accompanying us old men … "
Xia Ruofei said with some embarrassment, "Okay, chief, then I'll go down first …"
Master Song waved his hand and said, "Go ahead! When it's time to eat, drink with me a few more times! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said, then he said goodbye to the big shots in the room and stepped out of the central room.
In fact, Xia Ruofei did not have stage fright at all. Ever since he had the Ring-Tu space and stepped on the road of cultivation, Xia Ruofei's mentality had unknowingly changed a lot. In this room, there were feudal officials and leaders of ministries. Perhaps ordinary people could not help but feel uncomfortable in front of their power and influence, but Xia Ruofei was always very indifferent.
Of course, rather than facing these elders, Xia Ruofei would definitely prefer to be with Song Rui. After all, they were of the same age and had more in common.
Xia Ruofei walked into the courtyard and heard Song Zhi Lan remind him, "Little Xia, don't forget about the Jade Skin Ointment!"
Everyone's kind laughter came from the room. Xia Ruofei stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Auntie Song, I'll ask Song Rui to go with me to the hotel to get it later! "
After leaving the backyard, Xia Ruofei called Song Rui. "I'm out, where are you?"
"In the south room!" Song Rui said, "Come directly! We'll eat here in a while! "
So Xia Ruofei walked to the south room. He opened the door and found that the room was very big. Several rooms in the south must have been connected.
There were five big round tables in the south room. Behind the table in the middle, there was a table with a big "Shou" character hanging behind it.
The table closest to the door was already filled with eight or nine people. Song Rui waved at Xia Ruofei and shouted, "Ruofei, over here!"
