The wee hours of three or four o'clock in Anling were very quiet.

The night was dark, the wind gentle, and the Little Landlady slept soundly and softly, but Lin Chuan's heart was heavy.

"Dammit!"

Lin Chuan was normally even-tempered and not prone to swearing, but the task of unlocking the next career level was freakin' insane.

Manufacturing drugs with a 99% purity, was that something a normal person could do?

Just the raw materials like alpha-bromophenylacetone, methylamine, and hydrochloric acid were considered 'chemicals of concern', meaning they were precursors to drugs.

Not to mention ephedrine and ephedra alkaloids which were directly controlled substances.

If these items showed up at home, you could be immediately considered a key surveillance target, with the occasional police officer strolling nearby with a sniffer dog, checking for any unusual scents.

More importantly.

There were countless cases of homemade addictive drugs on the internet, a direct ticket to jail, with no room for negotiation.

The enforcement was always strong.

This was a line, Lin Chuan asked himself, in the real world, he dared not and would not cross.

Lin Chuan sighed and thought to himself that he would have to put this assessment task aside for now.

As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way.

Right, there will be a solution.

Lin Chuan comforted himself and then lay down, cuddled the fragrant and soft Little Landlady, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

The sun rose as usual, its bright light filtering through the window, casting a faint glow on the curtains.

The Little Landlady opened her bleary eyes and lifted her pretty face to look at the still-slumbering Lin Chuan; her cheeks were delicate, her features defined, and a sweet smile spread across her face.

Then, she quietly got out of bed, got dressed, and without disturbing Lin Chuan, she left the room to prepare breakfast in the kitchen.

Clearly, her culinary skills had improved significantly; breakfast was quite sumptuous.

"Director must have been exhausted last night; he's still asleep at this hour," the Little Landlady leaned on the doorframe and whispered with a smile.

At that moment.

Her phone vibrated.

Her business partner had sent her a message.

— Little Director Zhang, shall we talk about the specifics of our collaboration this afternoon?

The Little Landlady had saved this business partner as 'Yu Keke' in her contacts.

Over a week ago, Yu Keke's 'Anzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.' began discussions with the Network Security Company.

As the general manager of Anzhou Pharmaceutical, Yu Keke was very invested in this cooperation.

As such, she personally liaised with the Little Landlady.

Perhaps because they were of similar age and had common topics to discuss, they became acquainted after a few exchanges.

Mmost importantly, Anzhou Pharmaceutical's general manager Yu Keke was also one of Lin Chuan's readers.

She had subscribed to every one of his books.

This sent the Little Landlady's good feelings skyrocketing, and she thought highly of the general manager for her taste, admiring her husband's books.

So, the Little Landlady was very much looking forward to this cooperation.

Seeing Yu Keke's message now, the Little Landlady held her phone with both hands, her thumbs tapping nimbly on the keyboard, replying, "Of course, I'll arrange it right away."

"I'm very much looking forward to this collaboration./rose.jpg"

Yu Keke replied.

"So am I." Zhang Xinxin's cheeks formed a smile; this was a big deal and, if negotiated well, could become a long-term partnership.

They chatted a few more lines.

Finally, they agreed to have the business discussion in the Network Security Company conference room at four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Discussing collaborations this early?"

Then, Lin Chuan came up behind the Little Landlady, resting his nose on top of her head and gently sniffing the subtle fragrance that filled his nostrils, his brain clearing a bit from the drowsiness.

"Director, you're awake."

Dressed in a light blue gauze nightgown that made her skin look exceptionally fair and soft, the Little Landlady leaned back into Lin Chuan's shoulder and twisted around so she was nestled in his arms.

"With my little secretary already hard at work, how could I have the nerve to keep sleeping in?" Lin Chuan joked as he embraced her.

"If you're sleepy, sleep. I can handle things at the company," the Little Landlady lifted her face, her eyes shining brightly.

"I should help out with the collaborations too," Lin Chuan rubbed the Little Landlady's cheek, his heart going out to the young wealthy woman.

A radiant smile immediately broke across her face, clearly delighted: "This afternoon, I have a collaboration to discuss with Anzhou Pharmaceutical, but it's just to work out the specifics. They are very optimistic about our company and eager to collaborate, so there's a chance we could turn them into a long-term client."

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Anzhou Pharmaceutical is a well-known pharmacy manufacturer in Anling. Xinxin, you're getting more and more impressive."

"Impressive?"

The Little Landlady blinked, with a hint of shyness on her face, and asked in a low voice, "Director, which aspect are you referring to?"

"Every aspect." Lin Chuan looked down at the glowingly beautiful young wealthy woman and felt his heart race, promptly lifting her into his arms.

"Director, you haven't had breakfast yet!"

Her lips bitten, the Little Landlady's cheeks turned a tender shade of pink.

"Skipping breakfast is fine," Lin Chuan said, and proceeded to conquer new territories.

Over an hour later.

The Little Landlady waved a white flag.

"Here's your dates and goji berries tea; have some to replenish your strength," the Little Landlady poured Lin Chuan a cup of nourishing tonic water and handed it to him.

Lin Chuan smiled, "You should drink some too."
