The company emerged like a dark horse, standing out from the crowd.
The company's rapid development was not only due to the efforts of Shen Lu, Chen Kun, Dong Rui, and Xu Yun, but the biggest credit actually belonged to Jiang Yi.
It was thanks to the medicine developed by Jiang Yi that the company grew and expanded at a terrifying pace.
Besides developing medicines, Jiang Yi also treated illnesses for powerful nobles and industry magnates.
This immediately strengthened Jiang Yi's network, playing a crucial role in the company's development.
Now, Jiang Yi already had the beginnings of a commercial empire in Eagle Country. Although not fully formed, it was already incredibly impressive.
By the end of the year, after treating an Eagle Country noble, Jiang Yi dived headfirst into his research laboratory.
This was Jiang Yi's daily work.
He toiled until late into the night before finally returning to his room to rest.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to lie down, Dongfang Mei suddenly clutched his arm, her face contorted in pain.
"I'm going into labor!" she cried out.
Jiang Yi was stunned by her words!
"Don't just stand there, hurry and take me to the hospital," Dongfang Mei said with difficulty.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi finally snapped back to reality.
Without a moment to spare, he scooped Dongfang Mei into his arms, left the room, called Old Li, and they drove to the hospital.
Seeing Dongfang Mei's discomfort along the way, Jiang Yi felt an indescribable heartache.
After taking Dongfang Mei to the hospital, Jiang Yi anxiously paced outside the delivery room.
"Young Master, don't worry, Madam and the baby will be fine!" Old Li said, trying to comfort him.
Hearing Old Li's words, Jiang Yi's mood calmed considerably, but he was still very worried.
Beyond worry, Jiang Yi also felt a surge of excitement.
Not long after, Shen Lu, Chen Kun, Dong Rui, Xu Yun, and Li Tao all arrived!
Even Stephen and Alice were there!
Alice looked somewhat displeased.
In Alice's opinion, it should have been her giving birth to Jiang Yi's child, not Dongfang Mei.
After staying for a while, Alice said her goodbyes and left!
Jiang Yi did not ask Alice to stay.
If Alice remained, it would have made Jiang Yi uneasy.
Just then, a noble couple walked by. Upon seeing Jiang Yi, their faces lit up with surprise.
"It's Physician Jiang! We're so lucky to encounter Physician Jiang here today!"
The noble couple, filled with excitement, shook Jiang Yi's hand.
Jiang Yi was now a celebrity in the medical circles of Eagle Country.
Jiang Yi had cured many incurable diseases, creating miracles in medicine. The title "Physician Jiang" had resonated throughout Eagle Country.
After greeting Jiang Yi, the noble couple asked for his business card and then left.
"Young Master, you are now the most famous Chinese person in Eagle Country. Because of your presence, many people are beginning to re-evaluate Traditional Chinese Medicine. If your master knew in the afterlife how successful you are, he would be very happy," Old Li remarked.
"Big Brother is indeed very famous now, but he has also paid a great price!"
Chen Kun chimed in, "Big Brother has established several TCM colleges in Eagle Country recently, all of them prestigious institutions. Many renowned physicians from all over the country come to study at these colleges, primarily by word of mouth."
"TCM is now flourishing worldwide. Many public healthcare institutions have actively invited Jiang Yi to establish TCM colleges in their countries, with all funding provided by them..."
"Everything I'm doing is to fulfill my master's dying wish. What I've accomplished so far is far from enough. One day, I will ensure every city in the world has a TCM college, spreading the legacy of Chinese medicine!" Jiang Yi said with a gentle smile.
"I believe in your abilities, Big Brother. You will definitely succeed!" Chen Kun replied.
"That's right, this is no challenge at all for Jiang Yi!"
Stephen grinned, "This kid Jiang Yi's influence is growing so much, he's almost surpassing me."
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Stephen's statement was a bit of an exaggeration!
Although his influence was growing rapidly, his foundation was still too weak. It would take several more years to surpass Stephen.
However, regardless, he had now gained a firm foothold.
Stephen's smile slowly faded, and his expression became serious.
"Your company is likely in big trouble!"
"What kind of big trouble?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I came here specifically to tell you about this," Stephen said to Jiang Yi. "Your influence in the business world is growing, and your uncle, Jiang Wanli, can no longer sit idly by. He has gathered all his strength and is preparing to bring down your company."
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
"I received news that yesterday, Jiang Wanli convened a meeting at his castle. All the heads of his companies attended, and the topic of discussion was how to sabotage your company. Jiang Wanli is making such a grand show of it, it seems he intends to crush you completely, leaving you no chance to recover!" Stephen elaborated.
"Since that's the case, I accept the challenge!" Jiang Yi replied with a slight smile.
"You might not win this time. From what I know, Jiang Wanli's drug research company has developed a new drug. This new drug is one of the most sought-after in the world currently. If he mass-produces this new drug, your company's market share and orders will undoubtedly be snatched away by him!" Stephen stated.
"What new drug?" Jiang Yi inquired.
"It's a health-preserving medicine. It's said that this drug can extend human lifespan, bestowing immortality. Moreover, multiple experts have tested it and confirmed that it can indeed prolong human life."
Stephen took a deep breath.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems my uncle is seeking his own demise!" Jiang Yi declared.
"What do you mean by that?" Stephen asked, puzzled.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all natural laws. How can humans achieve immortality? Jiang Wanli is too naive; he's digging his own grave," Jiang Yi explained. "It's not that I have a narrow perspective, but with the current medical advancements, achieving immortality is simply impossible. Perhaps in fifty, or even a few hundred years, humanity might be able to achieve it."
"But now, it's absolutely impossible. The natural laws of human life are very difficult to break. Even if they could be broken, the consequences would be unimaginably terrifying."
"Are you saying Jiang Wanli will not succeed?" Stephen asked.
"Exactly!" Jiang Yi confirmed with certainty. "Immortality is pure nonsense. Before I even make a move, Jiang Wanli will bring about his own downfall."
