After Xiao Wang returned to the company, he directly called James out. His attitude was noticeably much more courteous, offering tea and water.
In the office, the two sat facing each other. Xiao Wang lowered his guard and handed James a cigarette.
"You have something to discuss?" James said briefly in Chinese, accepting the cigarette, lighting it up, and taking a few puffs.
"This time I'm here to chat on behalf of the CEO." Xiao Wang smiled and continued, "I know you've already figured out a way to tackle the current problem, but you've been hesitating, right?"
"How do you know about this? My God, this isn't possible."
"Actually, I've noticed it for a while, just never mentioned it. After meeting with the CEO, we discussed this matter. The CEO said they'd give you a five percent stake in the pharmaceutical company, as long as you quickly make the new drug available for clinical trials."
