Chapter 144 - "Guest Follows the Master's Lead"

In the yard, Ding Hongyu and Yun Pingting watched as Li Yunyang dealt with the bear's paw. It was the front paw. Li Yunyang quickly removed the hair and other debris with a knife. Then, he used a water-based spell extraction technique to remove a large portion of the moisture from the bear's paw.
Originally, three domestic helpers wanted to come and take a look. But they were dismissed by Ding Hongyu. Taking care of bear paws is really a matter of great importance, just like eating shark fin and playing with ivory. It's not a trivial matter when taken seriously.
Soak it in water to expand. It originally takes three or four days. However, with Li Yunyang's minor spell, it only takes one or two minutes. Then boil it for the first time to remove the odor, and do some manual adjustments, etc.
It was only half an hour later. A stewed bear paw, cooked until soft and tender, was placed in a plate that looked like a pair of white jade. A few other dishes were also ready on this side.
"It's really delicious," Yun Pingting whispered. Her cold and clear voice carried a hint of surprise and liking.
"If you can take a good bite of this, then it really is quite difficult. It's not easy to come by." Li Yun raised his sword eyebrows and smiled.
"What's so hard to come by? Although there isn't a lot of it, as long as you have money, you can buy it." Ding Hongyu shook her head and said, "Most of it comes from the Bear Country."
"Well, let's just try it." Yun Pingting said, "I'm not planning on eating it again in the future."
"Yun Ge, we also forgot about one thing. That is the matter of plotting against our parents. Did Ding Wanshan participate?" Ding Hongyu recalled this matter.
"It's impossible for him to be involved. Otherwise, Ding Qingsong wouldn't say anything and that Ding Qingzhu would definitely find someone to take the blame," said Li Yunyang.
The next morning, Li Yunyang and Ding Hongyu finally understood who those two foreigners were. Turns out, they were not brought by the CMB (China Merchants Bank) either. They were just two guys who believed in the Bright Light Cult and brought along two Caucasian frauds. One of them seems to be a errand runner for the CMB.
"Tsk tsk, it's you two, huh?" Li Yunyang sneered coldly at the two white foreigners. "Why do you still want to come door-to-door preaching?"
These two white foreigners never expected to encounter Li Yunyang and two beautiful women here. These two white foreigners had been harassing Yun Pingting at Haizhou Hospital.
"How do you guys speak? These two are Bishops Sulfo and Bill. Speak politely and show some respect." A man in his thirties said angrily. This guy has a center-parted hairstyle, gold-rimmed glasses, a long face, and a mouth that resembles a catfish. His nose points upward and his eyes are small and green like green beans.
"Get lost, what the hell do you think you are? Don't show off in front of me!" Li Yunyang's face turned cold. "Get out! Get two people to kick him out!"
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, we need to discuss business..." Sulfor hurriedly explained.
"Why do you both feel like you're receiving superior treatment in Shenzhou?" Li Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, no." Bill quickly denied. Some things can be done but not said. They do enjoy superior treatment in certain places. But this is something that can never be admitted."
"Then you guys shut up! This is my territory. I don't need you to interfere with whom I receive. If you keep yapping, I'll throw you out together." Li Yunyang touched his chin.
"Let's go out, Jingting. There's nothing for us to do here, Yunguo can handle it." Ding Hongyu said, taking Yunguo with her back to the office.
"Xiao Jiang, you can leave first. We will handle things here. It's also time for you to start work. We won't delay you." A man in his forties with a big flat top haircut said calmly. His expression was as cunning as it could be.
At this moment, two security guards came in. Xiao Jiang also understood. It was not his place to make a scene in someone else's company. He quickly followed the two security guards and left with a downcast expression.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry. Brother Xiaojiang is very young, so he is a bit..." the man with a big hairdo said.
"Who are you?" Li Yunyang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I'm Zhang Ershan. I am the pastor of the church nearby..." the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"I can't believe it, as a Chinese person, you actually believe in the Bright Light Church. I just don't understand how you think. I see you as an educated person, so you should know what the Bright Light Church is and their history. It is just a religion with a history of only one or two thousand years, and yet you believe in it? What is going on in your head?" Li Yunyang sneered.
"Um, how can you be like this..." Zhang Ershan blushed and his neck thickened.
"Enough, enough. I don't want to interfere in your trivial matters. Just tell me why you're here." Li Yunyang said disdainfully.
The two white foreigners looked at Li Yunyang's disdainful expression and knew that she didn't have a good impression of the Church of Light. Sulfur could only say with some embarrassment, "Mr. Li, your company's hemorrhoid ointment is very effective. We want to cooperate with you..." Sulfur said.
"If you want to discuss business, go to our business department," Li Yunyang said with a disdainful smirk. "If we have to handle such trivial matters ourselves, we'll be overwhelmed with work."
"That's right. The business department won't be able to respond to the cooperation we desire," Billss said.
"What kind of cooperation do you want?" Li Yunyang asked curiously.
"We know that the hemorrhoid ointment is produced by your Feiyang Pharmaceutical. Now we want to invest in expanding production. The sales aspect will not be a problem in the future. We can invest..." Su'Er Fu said.
"Stop stop!" Li Yunyang shook his head and said, "What investment? Am I short of money? Even if I am short of money, with such a project, I can easily get a loan from the bank. Why do I need to cooperate with you? Or do you think you are superior, and cooperating with you is a great honor and show?"
"Um, well..." the two Western charlatans were speechless.
"Mr. Li, it's like this. We are devout believers of the Bright God. Many people are suffering from hemorrhoids, so our Bright God Sect wants to..." Zhang Ershan interrupted.
"That's your cult's business. Don't talk to me about your religion." Li Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to make money, just be straightforward instead of going around in circles with false pretenses."
"Um, Mr. Li, we could take only a small portion of the shares. You can use that formula to invest, how about that?" Su Er Fu held his breath and said.
"No way. Fei Yang Pharmaceuticals will not let anyone else take shares," Li Yunyang sneered, "And just a tiny bit of shares? Haha, I know what you're after. It's the formula for the hemorrhoid cream! You don't even have a chance. Please leave, I won't see you out!"
"Mr. Li is really not like that. Your hemorrhoid ointment production is not very good. So we suggest investing in expanding production capacity for our dishes," Bill held his temper and said.
