Lu rushed to the car window and cautiously asked Charlie Wade, “What are you nning to do?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “Master, I need to speak with the person in charge here about a potential coboration. Could you please let me know how to reach them?”


    Since Eng Mountain is now under the ownership of Zhicheng Group, it must be quite challenging for outsiders to gain ess. Charlie Wade had brought Lin Wan’er (ni) to pay respects to his parents, so it felt a bit inappropriate to attempt to enter secretly.


    The security guard looked at Charlie Wade with curiosity and inquired, “What’s your surname? Which organization are you with? We didn’t receive any visitor notifications for today.”


    Charlie Wade smiled and exined, “I’m from East China. I’ve heard that Zhicheng Group has a long-standing reputation, and as someone in the tea business, I wanted to pay a visit.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The security guard shook his head and stated, “I’m sorry, but we can’t allow entry without an appointment. Even city leaders must schedule their visits in advance.”


    Curious, Charlie Wade asked, “Why is the management here so strict? It feels like a secretive organization.”


    The security guard replied earnestly, “Let me tell you, the entire tea estate of Zhicheng Mountain is treated as amercial secret! Especially the tea king at the summit; over the years, many unscrupulous individuals have attempted to get their hands on it!”


    As he spoke, he animatedly recounted, “Justst month, we caught two Japanese individuals trying to sneak in to steal branches from our tea king for grafting. We apprehended them before they could get close, and they ended up looking like they were beaten to a pulp. We have 24-hour security,plete surveince, and even a nylon over the area—no bird can pass through!”


    Charlie Wade couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. With such tight security, it seemed nearly impossible to enter openly or covertly, especially with guards and cameras everywhere.


    Seeing that Charlie Wade appeared harmless, the security guard continued, “Young man, let me rify: our site is merely a tea ntation and basic processing facility. The real decision-makers don’t work here. If you genuinely want to discuss cooperation, you should head to Poole. There’s a Zhicheng Building there, which is our headquarters. You’ll need to make an appointment before discussing any coborations. If they approve your visit here, they’ll notify us.” Lin Wan’er (ni), who had been listening, looked a bit downcast but gently tugged at Charlie Wade’s sleeve, suggesting, “Why don’t we go to Poole and talk to the group there first?”


    Charlie Wade understood that gaining entry here would be a challenge, so he decided to take a step back. He nodded and told the security guard, “Then I’ll head to the city to see what I can do. Thank you, Master.”


    The security guard waved him off, saying, “No problem, take your time.”


    Internally, he couldn’t help but grumble, “I should have gathered more information about the situation in Poole beforeing here. Now I’m rushing back to the city, but it’s likely they’re closing up for the day. If I’m lucky, I might be able to catch them before they leave; otherwise, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) shook her head and added, “Let’s notplicate things. From what the security guard said, the tea estate is heavily guarded, with 24-hour surveince and diligent security. Even if we tried to sneak in, we wouldn’t stand a chance.”


    She continued, “Besides, this area has been a tea production site for years. Suddenly iming that there are ashes buried under the trees and that people areing to worship sounds suspicious. I don’t think we need to return to Poole; it’s over a hundred kilometers from Banna. Let’s go straight to Banna instead.”


    After a moment of thought, Charlie Wade suggested, “What if we just buy Zhicheng Group?”


    “Ah!” Lin Wan’er (ni) eximed, taken aback. “That sounds a bit extreme…”


    Charlie Wade responded casually, “It’s not a big deal—just a teapany, and it’s not even thergest in southern Yunnan. Its market value is estimated to be several billion yuan. I can handle this.”<fncb91> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find1Novel</fncb91>


    Lin Wan’er (ni) quickly expressed her concern, “I’m worried about Sara’s Chinese military governor’s office. They have a strong influence in southern Yunnan. Although they seem quiet now, if anything major happens, they will definitely be watching…”


    Charlie Wade waved her concerns away, stating calmly, “It’s just a regr business acquisition. What could possibly stop them? Moreover, who would suspect you of having any connection to a teapany? After all, after leaving Dali, Sara couldn’t trace your whereabouts. She has no idea you buried your parents in Poole or that you’ve been living in Banna for years, guarding the mother of Pucha. Your worries stem from your own knowledge of these connections. For anyone else, missing just one link in the chain means they won’t be able to piece together the whole story.” He then looked at Lin Wan’er (ni) and assured her, “Leave this to me. You don’t need to worry; I’ll take care of everything. Just wait for my call.”


    Feeling a sense of reliance for the first time, Lin Wan’er (ni) bit her lip and nodded, saying gratefully, “Then… thank you for taking this on…”


    Charlie Wade smiled slightly, took out his phone, and called Zara Banks.


    To the outside world, the Banks family was considered the Wade family’s greatest rival. If Zhicheng Group allowed the Banks family to assist with the acquisition, it would certainly be a safer bet.


    When the call connected, Zara Banks answered cheerfully and respectfully, “Mr. Wade, what can I do for you today?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “Miss Banks, I need your assistance.”


    Zara Banks quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, please don’t be so formal. Just let me know what you need, and I will do everything I can to help!”


    “The sooner, the better!”
