Fade was also taken aback. Turning his head to the Chief Executive, he asked aloud, "Why would you choose to cooperate with me?"
Lily was also staring at the Chief Executive. She was wearing a nervous and confused expression.
The Chief Executive simply smiled. Looking at Fade solemnly, he said, "Because I trust you, Mr. Chen."
"You trust me?" Fade had not expected that answer. The only reason plausible to Fade was his medical skills.
Seeing how startled Fade was, the Chief Executive laughed, "I can tell what kind of person you are from the seafood poisoning incident. You tried your best to treat the residents of Jade City and went to the Chiang family's factory to investigate the cause yourself. I believe that you will not allow the people to suffer."
Fade did not expect the Chief Executive to trust him so much. He was silent for a while before he put another question forward. "To be honest, I also want to get this opportunity as I am trying to promote the development of the Chinese medicine industry."
"However, compared to the other businessmen who are worth billions, the Sincere Medicine Center is far behind. I am afraid that the Sincere Medicine Center is unable to undertake such a big project," Fade said.
The Chief Executive laughed before he said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry about this. The reformation of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry will not happen overnight. It will be conducted in phases within three years."
"To initiate this project, a few pilot projects will be established and consequently reviewed before they are promoted in Jade City. Therefore, judging by the current condition of Sincere Medicine Center, you will definitely be able to undertake this project," the Chief Executive said.
He continued, "Besides, as the city government, we will not allow you to shoulder such a huge responsibility alone. We will certainly aid you as much as we can."
Hearing that, Lily almost leaped up in excitement. If it was up to her, she would have immediately agreed to the Chief Executive.
After all, if the deal with the city government was sealed, the development of Sincere Medicine Center in Jade City would skyrocket.
However, on the other hand, Fade was rather calm.
He didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at the Chief Executive and said, "I want to ask one last question."
"Go ahead, Mr. Chen."
Fade said, "I'm glad that you are supportive of the Sincere Medicine Center. However, don't you worry that I will walk the same path as the Chiang family after the Sincere Medicine Center has reaped the benefits of this deal?"
That question was a sensitive one yet very realistic.
As long as they were a subsidiary of the city government, anyone could turn out like the Chiang family.
Fade had raised that point in at such an early stage, and it surprised the Chief Executive.
However, he immediately shook his head with a smile. He said to Fade, "I believe that you will not follow their footsteps."
"Uh..." Fade and Lily were a little surprised by how much he trusted them. After all, they were not even acquaintances. It was definitely not a sensible thing to entrust such an important project to a person you barely know!
Reading the doubt on their faces, the Chief Executive smiled and said, "I trust you so much because of your character and behaviour. Also, I know your identity." "Identity? What identity?" Lily asked curiously.
His mouth twitched but he didn't say much. He simply spat a word, "Stealth."
Hearing that, Fade understood why the Chief Executive trusted him. Fade was a special instructor of Stealth, a special organization affiliated to the country.
