Shu Liu’s face turned bitter, then she whispered in a low voice, “Because….”
Xue An said indifferently, “Is it because there are some disputes?”
As soon as these words came out, Shu Liu shuddered, then she looked at Xue An with astonished eyes.
Initially, Shu Liu thought Xue An was just a driver, so she didn’t take him seriously.
But now it seemed that he was the real decision-maker.
Shu Liu sighed, then nodded, a pained expression crossing her face, “Yes, there are disputes! And they’re with the Chi Family of Zhongdu!”
The Chi Family!
This name caused a slight change in the expressions of Zhao Xuehui and the others.
Qiao Le even uttered in dissatisfaction, “Chairwoman Shu, that’s not very honorable of you. After talking for so long, it turns out you’re trying to drag us into a trap!”
Shu Liu’s face turned red, and she lowered her head in shame, “I… I really have no other options now. Many people have come to see the factory these past days, but as soon as they hear about the Chi Family, they all run away. I really had no choice but to think about hiding it.”
After finishing, Shu Liu closed her eyes in pain and sighed lightly, “If you all think it’s not acceptable, then let’s forget it!”
Zhao Xuehui exchanged a glance with Qiao Le, then stood up and said, “I’m sorry, but I think we need not discuss this any further. After all, the Chi Family…”
Their intention was clear.
The Chi Family of Zhongdu was a noble household; looking at this situation, the person from the Chi Family that Shu Liu had offended was not an ordinary member.
Although the factory was cheap, taking it over would mean facing the hatred of a noble family, which would not be worth it.
Shu Liu’s face was ashen as she nodded without uttering a word.
And just when Zhao Xuehui and the others were all standing up, preparing to leave, Xue An put down the pen he had been fiddling with and raised his head to glance at Shu Liu, saying indifferently.
“If I take over and still let you manage this factory, would you dare?”
Hearing these words, Shu Liu, who had already given up all hope, showed an incredulous look on her face.
“Sir, I just made it very clear, this factory has a direct conflict with the Chi Family, you…”
Xue An waved his hand, “I know, but I don’t care!”
Although his words were bland, the assertiveness they contained left Shu Liu stunned.
This young man seemed ordinary, so why did he possess such strong confidence?
“I’m just asking you, do you dare or not?” Xue An insisted, staring at Shu Liu.
Shu Liu bit her lip, thinking that since things were already at this point and if this person dared to take over, then he must have a way to deal with the Chi Family. And if she really could still manage this factory, then, of course, it couldn’t be better.
After hesitating for a moment, Shu Liu nodded, “Of course, I dare!”
Xue An leaned back and said blandly, “Good, let’s draw up the agreement now!”
“What?” Shu Liu thought she had heard wrong.
“So soon?” Zhao Xuehui was also startled.
Xue An smiled slightly, “It’s not a big deal, if we agree, then let’s sign!”
“But…” Zhao Xuehui furrowed his eyebrows, wanting to advise Xue An.
Even though he knew that Xue An probably wasn’t afraid of the Chi Family, it’s always better to avoid unnecessary troubles. Why insist on this factory, and why insist on having this woman as a director?
Could it be that the second brother has taken a fancy to this woman?
It couldn’t be, although this woman was quite attractive, she was still far from his sister-in-law.
At the same time, Shu Liu also harbored some doubts in her heart.
Why would he do this? Could it be… he was coveting my beauty?
Xue An spoke in a casual tone, “On the way here, I took a look, and I’m very satisfied with the factory. I can see you are earnest and responsible, so I don’t care what feud there is with the Chi Family; this factory is a deal for me!”
Shu Liu felt her face flush, ashamed of her previous thoughts, then she stood up and said very respectfully, “Thank you! May I ask for your esteemed surname?”
“My surname is Xue!”
The agreement was quickly signed, and Shu Liu still felt like she was living in an alternate reality.
“Mr. Xue, what do we plan to produce next? Currently, there is not much of the raw material left. If we want to produce something, we need to replenish the raw materials promptly.”
Xue An shook his head, “Of course, we aren’t going to produce these common medicines. What we are going to produce is a divine medicine that can extend life by twenty years!”
His statement immediately changed Shu Liu’s expression, and she looked at Xue An with a piercing gaze.
“If that’s the case, I’m not selling the factory!”
“Why? Hey, I have to say, it’s somewhat ridiculous how you’ve just signed the agreement, and now you want to back out?” Qiao Le couldn’t help but speak up.
Shu Liu said coldly, “Even if I have to destroy the factory myself, I wouldn’t let you people produce some fake medicine that deceives others!”
This statement at first stunned Zhao Xuehui and the others, and then they all shook their heads and started to laugh bitterly.
Actually, they had encountered this kind of situation more than once.
Many people, upon hearing that they intended to produce a divine medicine that could extend life by twenty years, their first reaction was that they were fraudsters.
At that moment, Xue An cracked a slight smile, “You think that we are swindlers?”
Shu Liu looked at Xue An coldly, “It’s not a matter of what I think, it’s a fact!”
As a medical student, Shu Liu absolutely didn’t believe that any medicine could extend life by twenty years.
Xue An nodded and then pulled out a small glass bottle from his pocket.
It was filled with a pale golden liquid.
“This… is the medicine that can extend life!”
Seeing this thing, a look of scorn appeared on Shu Liu’s face, “Do you think I would believe that?”
Xue An stood up, placed the glass bottle on the table, “I’ll give you one night to try it for yourself!”
After saying that, Xue An turned and left.
Zhao Xuehui and the others glanced at Shu Liu and then all left.
In the vast office, only Shu Liu remained. She stared at the small bottle on the table, her expression uncertain.
How could there possibly be a divine medicine that extends life by twenty years?
Even if there were, it couldn’t be made with the current medical conditions, right?
With this thought in mind, Shu Liu went forward to pick up the small bottle, intending to throw it into the trash bin.
At that moment, the phone rang, and an anxious female voice came from the other end.
“Shu Liu, come quickly, your grandfather is in bad shape!”
Shu Liu’s face changed dramatically, and she immediately dashed downstairs, coincidentally stuffing the small bottle into her pocket.
By the time she burst into the hospital’s intensive care ward.
Gao Shengnan was waiting outside. As soon as Shu Liu saw her, she asked anxiously, “How is my grandfather doing?”
Gao Shengnan shook her head gravely, “The situation is very bad. My father is currently treating him inside!”
Upon hearing this, Shu Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she knew who Gao Shengnan’s father was.
Renowned as the number one Divine Doctor in Zhongdu, even in all of Huaxia, Gao Wenyen!
As long as he was present, even wanting to die wouldn’t be an option!
After half an hour, Gao Wenyen walked out of the ward with a somber face.
He gave Shu Liu a slight shake of his head, “The old master’s condition is deteriorating. I’ve temporarily helped him with ‘Golden Needle Overcoming Adversity’ acupuncture to get through this crisis, but it’s probably going to be very difficult from here on out!”
