Chapter 2488: Chapter 2480: Goodwill
Feng Jun refused Beauty Lin’s request, but she wasn’t bothered at all—being rejected by a treasure boy a few times, what’s the big deal?
What mattered was she had other things to deal with, namely the four pharmaceutical production lines.
The line for producing diabetes medication was already ordered by her "uncle" and would be marketed as a health supplement, with production set in Jin Province.
Feng Jun didn’t care about this, but the remaining three production lines, especially the one for body conditioning and boosting immunity, being placed in the Capital City, he explicitly refused, "The raw materials needed for such medicine cannot be fully supplied by the Earth Realm."
Beauty Lin settled for second-best, relocating the lines for treating Alzheimer’s and nerve disorders to the Capital City.
Feng Jun furrowed his brow and asked displeased, "Why insist on choosing the Capital City?"
"Because it’s the capital," Beauty Lin replied seriously, "High-tech enterprises don’t need to be plentiful there, but they must exist... Diabetes is on the health supplement path, which is not quite suitable, but the other three medications are groundbreaking."
Feng Jun furrowed his brow again and finally spoke straightforwardly, "I don’t like the Capital City, and I won’t go there in the future either."
Beauty Lin also furrowed her brow; she’d heard rumors that Feng Jun disliked the Capital City, but she didn’t expect such strong resistance against it.
She tried to persuade him, "Approval and licensing for medications surely need to go through the Capital City; establishing a pharmaceutical company there indeed brings ease."
Feng Jun waved his hand and replied firmly, "That’s for you to establish a pharmaceutical company, not me. Hope you’ve thought it through."
A company that manages to secure such production lines would worry about approval and licensing? That’s the real joke.
Beauty Lin felt she shouldn’t back down on this—it’s the Capital City, how could you have such a strong opinion?
She intended to ask the specific reasons, but seeing his terrible attitude, she had to try another approach, "Didn’t you say that when there are matters, disciples should do their part? Maybe other people wouldn’t mind going to the Capital City... Would you stop them?"
"Other people..." Feng Jun thought briefly and quickly shook his head, "I won’t stop others from doing anything; otherwise, wouldn’t I become the person I dislike? However, if you choose such a location, I’ll be very unhappy."
What the result of being unhappy might be, he didn’t say, but... does it need saying?
Beauty Lin couldn’t persuade him and had to leave dejectedly, thoroughly reporting the exchange.
Since all attention was on Feng Jun’s actions, the consensus from above was quickly communicated—Huaxia’s grand Capital City doesn’t need a small pharmaceutical company to prove its value.
No matter the wording, the actual result is: Feng Jun’s demand was acknowledged.
They even suggested, if the Capital City isn’t feasible, consider the Magic City, after all, it’s also an international metropolis.
However, those who understand certain subtleties can taste a bit: Projects not acquired by the Capital City, who would introduce them to the Magic City?
Thus, some speculate that the Magic City’s emergence as a backup choice is likely related to the second person in Luohua being from the Magic City.
Of course, that’s mere speculation; in any case, the reasoning is simply that the Magic City is an international metropolis, whether this reason is sufficient is a matter of opinion, and reckless speculation isn’t encouraged.
Since the site’s decision for the pharmaceutical factory must respect Feng Jun’s preference, military equipment deliveries naturally respect Feng Jun’s wishes as well—chose Taklimakan.
Feng Jun was somewhat surprised by this response; his aversion to the Capital City stemmed from lingering dissatisfaction with a certain Dou family second-generation, not a forced change, just thinking if they don’t respect my opinion, then I’ll have fewer concerns about such state affairs in the future.
Serious concern was his focus on military equipment delivery; Wenxian Manor absolutely couldn’t become the destination, apart from "rejecting a bad start," he also worried about his parents getting embroiled in such matters—if it draws the attention of hostile forces, it wouldn’t be good.
He even decided to transfer the destination at all costs—even if Taklimakan isn’t achievable, Chaoyang is definitely out.
Upon learning the result, he was greatly relieved. Beauty Lin took the opportunity to push further, "Your opinions have been thoroughly respected. Given this goodwill, I think it’s good for you to respond positively, so next time people can open their mouths and help you..."
"Of course, I’m not asking you to give anything, just that Rain Prayer Array, Taklimakan is so large, adding an array isn’t a bad thing, don’t you think?"
"Okay," Feng Jun nodded quickly, heeding advice makes one’s life better; when others express goodwill, he should reciprocate. Believing cultivators must be arrogant, with others owing them everything, would be excessive.
After all, cultivators should always maintain a sense of reverence, he stated, "The electric version of the Rain Prayer Array I set up will belong to them after use."
Beauty Lin continued to probe, "And regarding fleet operation, you could offer some recommendations, helping everyone avoid pitfalls."
"There’s no room for negotiation," Feng Jun decisively shook his head, "I can provide military equipment, but I won’t intervene."
Failed to persuade, Beauty Lin reluctantly bid farewell, but as she was about to leave, she couldn’t help but say, "Honestly, your adherence to your own principles, I truly admire, and... it’s actually a very smart choice."
Those words had layers of meaning, but Feng Jun didn’t care, simply stating lightly, "I’ve made it very clear before, my mind isn’t on Earth... You have no idea, in this universe, there’s so much else that’s incredible."
Beauty Lin couldn’t help but respond, "We really want to know the wonders you mention, but you need to give us the chance."
"Give you a chance?" Feng Jun sneered, "Have you thought, if aliens perform soul search, pinpointed the Earth Domain, and then warp over... can you bear that responsibility?"
"Soul search... warp over?" Beauty Lin’s face changed again, "Are you sure there’s really such a possibility?"
"Why not?" Feng Jun rolled his eyes, "I’ve helped you find warships with warp capabilities, try it when the time comes, you’ll understand everything?"
Beauty Lin didn’t doubt this reason, but she couldn’t help asking, "Why aren’t you worried about being searched yourself... and the others of Luohua?"
Feng Jun’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, "You can’t imagine how difficult I used to have it, always ready to commit suicide, now barely managing to get stable footing, only then would I let the people of Luohua go to adapt to the situation there."
"Our people aren’t afraid of sacrifice," Beauty Lin couldn’t help but retort, but this was a bit spirited competition; she quickly adjusted her emotions, "Mainly because, you all cultivate, right?"
"Does that have anything to do with you?" Feng Jun was a bit unhappy, "You can’t cultivate, that’s not my fault, is it?"
Beauty Lin found herself unable to answer that question; logically, she could blame him, but evidently, it shouldn’t be done.
After she left and reported again, the authorities instead criticized her, "Why did you tell him his choice was smart?"
Beauty Lin paused and answered, "That’s my heartfelt view... when dealing with such people, we should use our heart in exchange for their heart. Ultimately, we have too few chips to move him, so we have only sincerity to sway him."
This reply led to a moment of silence from the authorities, then a sigh, "We really need his professional advice... there’s really not much calculation here."
"I know that’s the case," Beauty Lin replied seriously, "but he has doubts, arguing rarely wins friendship, actually I’m a bit unconvinced too... he’s just one person, how could he know so much? Isn’t our collective wisdom really superior to his?"
The authorities answered without hesitation, "We don’t deny collective wisdom, but individual differences exist objectively. I can responsibly say, your position has been problematic... I hope you can clearly explain, what’s causing it?"
"My position has long been an issue, more than one person can prove it," Beauty Lin spoke candidly, "because I know, what he’s experienced is unimaginable to us, the organization’s demand isn’t supposed to... it’s about genuinely making friends?"
"You really are heartfelt..." the other side mumbled, hanging up the phone.
Beauty Lin could predict an investigation on her would soon start, but she had no guilty conscience.
Facts also proved, that the investigation on her was destined for fruitlessness; her attitude change process had long been recorded, and most who were familiar with this process believed: Such a change is utterly normal.
Of course, other factors aren’t ruled out, after all, these past four or five years, it was her tracking Feng Jun’s development, her communication ability with him is unmatched by others.
If replaced by someone else, not to mention increasing communication efficiency, maintaining current communication is even in question—it might very likely restart from scratch, possibly with worse results.
Beauty Lin certainly wouldn’t receive the news of her own investigation, and subsequently, she continued to handle interactions with Luohua.
Actually, there were quite a few recent affairs.
Firstly, Feng Jun provided two Loyalty Test Arrays—one was silently transported away, which was inevitable.
Secondly, Feng Jun set up an electric version of the Rain Prayer Array in Taklimakan—related power connections weren’t Luohua’s concern.
Thirdly, Luohua’s people came out en masse to transport pharmaceutical production lines to various factories.
Furthermore, Feng Jun offered a batch of finished medicines and medical devices far beyond current technology, including the nanobots and holographic 3D scanning inspections everyone was familiar with, along with unseen Severe Injury Recovery Pods.
Even more, there was the "Evergreen Elixir," getting close to the legendary longevity potion.
Yet unfortunately, this wasn’t a medicine for external injuries, and Feng Jun didn’t have much of it.
