Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311 – Farewell
When Zhang Heng left the hospital, it was six in the morning. The Sun had just risen.
After some thought, he found a public phone and called Han Lu. The latter had already woken up. It was the expansion period of the health tea, and Han Lu was like a machine when she entered her working state, the day was divided into different time periods, and each time period was fully arranged.
She only needed four hours of sleep to regain her energy, and the time she had saved could be used to do many things. When Zhang Heng called, Han Lu was exercising.
After receiving the call, she continued to do yoga as she said, “That’s perfect. I also want to talk to you about the company’s development, but I can’t get through to your phone. Our brand name is officially called Green Tea. Our main store is in Taigu Li, and we have already opened 20 branches. They’re in Shanghai, and we’re in the process of building a store in Guangzhou. We don’t have to worry about the capital anymore. Everyone is optimistic about this project. The main constraint to the expansion is the staff reserve. Although we’re doing training, it takes a lot of time to train a new person, especially the store manager. So, I’ve decided to directly poach people from happy tea and pleasant tea. We’ll charge them 30% more than the market price. After all, we have plenty of money to burn.”
Han Lu paused for a moment, but there was no reply, “… forget it, you don’t care about such things. I’m helping you buy the points. It’s almost 40,000, and the price is lower than we expected. In another three months, no, two months, I’ll be able to help you get the amount you want. In fact, if you’re not in a hurry, with these 200,000 points in hand, we can even try to manipulate the market and raise the exchange rate.”

“Thank you, Sister Han,”Zhang Heng said. “But there’s a new change in my situation. The previous problem has been solved, so I don’t need the 200,000 points anymore.”
On the other end of the line, Han Lu was stunned. “Solved? So fast. Didn’t you spend any money?”
“Then what about Qing cha…”Han Lu hesitated for a moment before asking, “What are your plans?”
“Sister Han, if you and the other investors want to continue, you can continue. But from now on, I have nothing to do with Qing Cha. You Don’t have to buy points through Fu Lou Anymore,”Zhang Heng said, “Just give me all the points you’ve earned so far. Don’t contact me again in the future.”
“So this choice is some kind of test?”Han Lu asked. “If I choose Qing Cha, Will I Lose You?”
“No, my current situation is a little complicated. This method is the best choice for both of us,”Zhang Heng said, “If anyone asks about you in the future, just say that the points are the cost of buying the leaf used to make tea from me.”
Although Han Lu was not a player, she was, after all, a top investor who had seen all kinds of ups and downs in the business world. From Zhang Heng’s last sentence, she could hear a lot of things, “Have you been in some kind of trouble recently? Are you worried that you’ll implicate me? But who knows about our relationship? Could it be that you’re worried about the so-called Fulan organization?”
Zhang Heng’s silence was equivalent to indirectly admitting Han Lu’s guess.
“You told me before that you’ve dealt with them a few times and found that their credit is very good.”
“That’s right, their reputation is indeed very good, especially when it comes to protecting their customers’privacy. As far as I know, there’s nothing better than them,”Zhang Heng said, “But no matter who it is, no matter what organization, there’s a limit to how much pressure they can withstand. If the pressure from the outside world exceeds their limits, they won’t have any other choice but to hand over my information. However, I’m not worried about Fu Lou the most,”Zhang Heng said, “In this world… There are other existences that can not be evaluated through common sense. To be honest, I’m no exception to whatever they do.”

“And your opponent this time is them?”Han Lu pressed.
In the past, Zhang Heng had always given her the feeling that he was calm and reliable. Even when he faced so many terrifying monsters on that country island last time, his performance was as calm as ever, however, this time, Han Lu could clearly sense that Zhang Heng did not seem to be confident about what would happen in the future, so she asked, “At least let me do something for you. can closing Qingcha’s store reduce the pressure on you?”
“No, don’t do that. This will instead make people think that we have a relationship and cause unnecessary trouble,”Zhang Heng said. “Just follow your plan and open Qingcha as usual.”
Han Lu didn’t insist. She wasn’t one of those female leads in romance dramas who insisted on staying behind to die with the male lead even though she could escape. In the end, perhaps the male lead didn’t have to die.., he died to take care of her. Moreover, Han Lu knew that even if this was a drama, she wasn’t the female lead in it.
So in the end, she only said softly to the phone, “Then you take care of yourself. I will keep your shares in Qingcha for you. If you don’t contact me again, I will transfer the shares to your parents three years later.”
“Thank you.”Zhang Heng did not decline. “That’s all for now. I have other things to do. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”After Han Lu said that, she heard a beep from the other end of the phone. After a short silence, the soft music from the yoga recital started playing again.
Han Lu stood rooted to the ground for about a minute. Just as the cleaning lady was worried about her, Han Lu stretched out her hands and closed her legs. Then, she leaned forward, she continued the yoga that she had not finished before.
It was as if nothing had happened.
When she looked up again, she was back to her usual strong-willed self, “Aunt Zheng, breakfast is in ten minutes. After that, I’ll take a shower and ask the driver to come in half an hour. And my assistant, ask her to come with me. Bring the location proposal for the new shop. I want to see it on the way.”
“Okay, Miss Han.”Auntie Zheng sighed in relief.
On the other side, Zhang Heng hung up the phone and left the phone booth. He went to the car rental company to rent an AMGA45. He didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he spent 15 minutes making a list of things that he might need later, then, he went to buy the items on it, put them in the trunk, and went to the nearby gas station to fill up the gas tank. After doing all this, he took out the compass that ISIS had given him, he activated the Magic Circle at the bottom.
The needle first rotated two times counterclockwise before stopping in the southwest direction. Zhang Heng gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
