Chapter 507 You're Tricking Grandpa
"This one then," Chen Xuan carefully picked up the small green porcelain bottle in front of him.
"This one?" Old Master Gao asked, surprised.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned, glanced at the small green porcelain bottle in his hand, and looked up at Old Master Gao, suspiciously, "Could this one not be acceptable?"
He wondered if Old Master Gao had discovered the secret within the small green bottle.
"Of course, it's fine."
Old Master Gao smiled, "Even if Mr. Chen wanted the entire treasure room, I wouldn't say no."
Old Master Gao said this sincerely. Chen Xuan had saved his life twice already, and Old Master Gao felt he could never repay the favor.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in all of the Gao family's treasures," Chen Xuan waved his hand casually, his gaze sweeping around.
Since there was a small porcelain bottle with rich spiritual energy among the Gao family's collection, it was possible there was a second one. Thus, Chen Xuan diligently searched again. Unfortunately, he couldn't find another item similar to the small porcelain bottle.
"Then that's it," Chen Xuan's eyes showed disappointment.
Old Master Gao frowned, "Mr. Chen, you only want this small porcelain bottle?"
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
Old Master Gao couldn't bear it and produced an ancient scroll. "Mr. Chen, this is a painting by Wu Daozi, consider it a gift from this old man to Mr. Chen."
Chen Xuan shook his head, refusing Old Master Gao's kind offer, and turned to walk out of the collection room.
Facing so many precious antiques, Chen Xuan remained unmoved.
Old Master Gao felt he had wronged Chen Xuan earlier, and his admiration for Chen Xuan reached a new height.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Perhaps this is the true demeanor of a Grandmaster of Inner Strength!"
Chen Xuan's defeat of that Grandmaster of Inner Strength had made Old Master Gao subconsciously believe Chen Xuan was a Grandmaster of Inner Strength.
When Chen Xuan left, the Gao family had done as Chen Xuan instructed. The malevolent aura of the Gao family had completely vanished. As for the malevolent aura on the Gao family members, it would take some time to dissipate completely. As for Gao Haojun, his complexion gradually darkened at the brow...
Leaving the Gao family, Chen Xuan returned directly to the Su family villa.
The next day, Chen Xuan went to Huo's Cosmetics. Led by Huo Yuhao, Chen Xuan walked into the newly opened third workshop.
The third workshop was a new production line. According to Huo Yuhao's plan, they intended to open a fourth production line and even start contract manufacturing. Currently, Huo's Cosmetics' existing production lines were showing signs of being unable to keep up with demand.
In the third workshop, Chen Xuan saw Cobra and his subordinates working diligently on the new production line.
"Greetings, Mr. Chen!"
Cobra, upon seeing Chen Xuan, respectfully greeted him, leading the others.
The others quickly stopped their work and bowed to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen!"
Their voices were loud and resonant, like bells and thunder!
Huo Yuhao looked at the scene before him, still filled with disbelief.
The once arrogant Cobra was now an employee of Huo's Cosmetics.
"Alright, you can continue your work. I was just here for a routine check," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Afterward, Chen Xuan returned to the office with Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao excitedly reported to Chen Xuan the number of orders Huo's Cosmetics had received recently and how much money they had made.
Clearly, even though Huo's Cosmetics had not yet advertised, it had not affected their sales.
However, for Huo's Cosmetics to open up sales channels and improve its status, advertising was a must.
"By the way, how is the matter regarding the land for your Huo family ancestral hall?" Chen Xuan suddenly asked.
Huo Yuhao said excitedly, "Mr. Chen, I am so grateful to you for this matter. It turns out my cousin's family secretly put it up for auction, unbeknownst to my grandfather and our family. When they found out, they were furious. My grandfather was so angry that he kicked my cousin's family out of the Huo family."
"You have helped my family so much, and we are very grateful. My grandfather even said he wanted to treat you to a meal personally."
"However, my cousin's family, along with Tang Chen, keeps coming to trouble the Huo family..."
Towards the end, Huo Yuhao's lips curved into a bitter smile.
"If you encounter anything you can't handle, call me," Chen Xuan said faintly.
"I've already troubled you so much, there's no need, really no need."
Huo Yuhao repeatedly shook his head.
For his sake, Chen Xuan had not only offended the Tang family but also spent a large sum of money. He truly didn't want to trouble Chen Xuan any further.
"Yuhao, have you forgotten what I said? You are my brother. Besides, I hope you will help me conquer the world. Don't be so formal with me," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring at Huo Yuhao, and patted his shoulder solemnly.
Huo Yuhao was stunned, his eyes wide, and he stammered, "Conquer the world...?"
His eyes showed disbelief.
Chen Xuan nodded, "Otherwise? Do you want Huo's Cosmetics to only stay in Jiangnan Province?"
Back then, when Chen Xuan said he wanted to build Huo's Cosmetics into an international trendsetter like Dior and Chanel, Huo Yuhao had thought Chen Xuan was just motivating him. But now that Chen Xuan brought it up again, and with such seriousness, it didn't seem like a casual remark.
Chen Xuan's goal completely surpassed Huo Yuhao's imagination!
"Mr.... Mr. Chen, I understand!"
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, "From now on, Huo's Cosmetics' goal is to become an international trendsetter! A century-old cosmetics brand!"
"That's more like it," Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
Chen Xuan ate the employee meal at Huo's Cosmetics. After eating and resting briefly, he rushed to Renxin Medical Clinic.
Before Chen Xuan arrived, Old Lu and Lu Jian were already at the entrance to welcome him!
Chen Xuan had said he would start teaching medicine to Old Lu and Lu Jian today, and the two were eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Old Lu wished to surpass Old Huang, while Lu Jian aspired to outdo his grandfather. The sense of accomplishment from surpassing his grandfather would be unimaginable.
"Mr. Chen is here!"
Lu Jian suddenly exclaimed.
A car slowly stopped in front of Renxin Medical Clinic, and Chen Xuan alighted from the car and walked towards the clinic.
"Mr. Chen, you're finally here!"
Old Lu and Lu Jian rushed forward, their faces filled with enthusiasm.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"Mr. Chen, we are waiting for you to teach us medicine," Old Lu said with sincerity.
Lu Jian also quickly nodded.
Old Lu, a renowned physician in the provincial capital, now had to act like a primary school student in front of Chen Xuan. Lu Jian, also a rising star in the provincial medical community, was extremely humble and deferential before Chen Xuan.
"Then let's go in," Chen Xuan glanced at the two. Their attitude pleased Chen Xuan.
Old Lu followed behind Chen Xuan, keeping half a step behind him as a sign of respect.
Thud!
As they entered Renxin Medical Clinic, Lu Jian's legs suddenly went weak, and he knelt before Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan, looking at Lu Jian kneeling before him, was slightly stunned, "Lu Jian, what is the meaning of this?"
Lu Jian said excitedly, "Mr. Chen, once a teacher, always a father. I wish to take you as my master. Please accept my bow!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lu's mouth flew open, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
You're tricking grandpa! I've been teaching you, my grandson, for nothing!
Before, Old Lu had indeed intended to have Lu Jian become Chen Xuan's disciple. However, now Chen Xuan's medical skills far surpassed his own. Those who are skilled are teachers; this is an eternal truth.
Therefore, yesterday, he had conceived the idea of becoming Chen Xuan's disciple and planned to state this after entering the clinic. But unexpectedly, Lu Jian had beaten him to it.
He was Lu Jian's grandfather. If Lu Jian became Chen Xuan's disciple, he could no longer become Chen Xuan's disciple himself, as it would disrupt the generational hierarchy.
Lu Jian glanced at Old Lu, whose expression was uncertain, and thought, "Grandpa, I accidentally overheard Grandma mentioning your little plan. As your grandson, I won't be polite. First come, first served. After all, you are old, and the future of the Lu family depends on me!"
