Chapter 83 Honored as a Medical Immortal
Today, Mother Song Ping was slightly more lucid. Chen Xuan pulled over a small stool and sat beside Song Ping, chatting with her as he did when he was younger.
A moment later, his phone suddenly rang.
Chen Xuan took out his phone to check and, as expected, it was Su Yunxi calling. If he guessed correctly, it was likely about the earlier incident, and he might have caused trouble for Su Yunxi again.
Su Yunxi asked with concern, "Chen Xuan, I heard the Yu family was looking for trouble with you. Are you alright?"
Hearing Su Yunxi not blaming him for causing big trouble, but instead showing concern for him, Chen Xuan felt a warmth spread through his heart.
He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"That's good!"
Through the phone, Chen Xuan could hear the relief in Su Yunxi's voice as she spoke these words, as if a great weight had been lifted.
Su Yunxi said plainly, "I'm calling to tell you that in a few days, Yishen Pharmaceutical will be holding its first shareholder meeting. You are now the Vice President of Yishen Pharmaceutical. Although it's a nominal position, it's best if you attend."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there that day!" Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
"Also..." Su Yunxi rubbed her forehead, seeming hesitant.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, sensing the unusual tone in Su Yunxi's voice, and asked, "Yunxi, you're not usually one to beat around the bush. Just say what you need to say."
"Then I'll be honest. Your breaking Yu Tao's leg has reached the Yu family in the provincial capital. The number one figure in the Yu family, Yu Tian Sheng, Yu Feiyang's father, is reportedly attending the Yishen Pharmaceutical shareholder meeting in person. There might be some trouble then."
Su Yunxi's voice was a little low.
Chen Xuan became somewhat excited upon hearing this!
Is it finally coming?!
He didn't see this as bad news, but rather as excellent news.
Su Yunxi, worried that Chen Xuan might clash with the Yu family at the shareholder meeting, paused and said sternly, "Chen Xuan, perhaps you shouldn't attend the shareholder meeting... What if..."
Chen Xuan directly interrupted Su Yunxi, stating decisively, "Yunxi, have you forgotten what I said at the Yishen Pharmaceutical opening ceremony? I'm prepared to accept any challenge. What about the Yu family?"
Chen Xuan's resonant voice sent a tremor through Su Yunxi.
At this moment, it seemed as if Chen Xuan could overcome any hardship, no matter how difficult.
Su Yunxi thought about it and realized that the mere Yu family of the provincial capital was like an ant compared to the behemoths of the capital, or even ancient families.
If Chen Xuan couldn't even bear this little pressure, how could he achieve anything in the future?
"Okay! Chen Xuan, I believe you." Su Yunxi nodded solemnly.
Suddenly, Su Yunxi remembered something and said, "I remember you don't have a suit. I'll accompany you to buy one another day for the shareholder meeting."
"Alright." Chen Xuan nodded.
Chen Xuan remembered something, his expression shifting, and he asked, "Yunxi, since the Yu family is attending the Yishen Pharmaceutical shareholder meeting, does that mean the Yu family is also a shareholder of Yishen Pharmaceutical?"
Su Yunxi replied, "Yes, my Su family holds 51% of the shares in Yishen Pharmaceutical, and the Yu family holds 30%."
Su Yunxi paused, then explained, "Speaking of which, according to the news I received, Xu Shijie was able to replace Fan Jin as director only because the Yu family pulled some strings."
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. It seemed his previous guess was entirely correct; the Yu family was the mysterious person behind Fan Jin.
"Oh, right. I heard that Xu Shijie disappeared out of thin air. A few days later, your former fiancée seemed to have found another man. Do you know about Xu Shijie's disappearance?"
Chen Xuan chuckled dryly and remained silent.
He didn't want to lie to Su Yunxi, so he chose not to speak.
"Okay, I understand."
Su Yunxi smiled, not taking these trivial matters to heart. In Su Yunxi's opinion, Xu Shijie had already lived several extra days.
"By the way, don't forget, in a couple of days, I'll take you to buy a suit." Su Yunxi said.
"Okay."
After that, Chen Xuan hung up the phone.
At this moment, a curious voice sounded.
"Xuanzi, who called you?"
Chen Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Song Ping had become a bit dazed again, her eyes wide open, looking at him like a curious baby. Although dazed, her eyes were full of affection.
Chen Xuan pursed his lips into a smile and said softly, "Mom, that's your future daughter-in-law!"
Song Ping's eyes suddenly lit up again, and her eyes even became slightly moist. "Really? Xuanzi? Your dad would be so happy if he knew!"
Chen Xuan nodded solemnly, "Of course, it's true!"
...
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The news of Chen Xuan breaking the leg of the Yu family's eldest young master and the second most important figure of the Yu family had spread throughout Jiangzhou, causing a great stir.
Many people believed Chen Xuan was arrogant and dependent on the Su family's support, acting with impunity, and would eventually suffer consequences.
He had also heard these rumors from Hei Hu, but he paid them no mind.
The Yu family dared to poison his mother, Song Ping, plot against Su Yunxi, and attempt to impersonate someone. Sooner or later, he would make the Yu family pay the price!
He glanced at the calendar; there were still three days until the shareholder meeting. This day wasn't too late!
...
That morning, Chen Xuan was strolling in a small park when his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, it was Hei Hu.
Chen Xuan frowned and answered the phone, "Hei Hu, is something the matter?"
"Boss, hehe, that..." Hei Hu stammered.
"Spit it out if you have something to say." Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
Hei Hu said directly, "Mr. Chen, do you have any more pills?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Didn't I just give you pills last night?"
Last night, Hei Hu had received two stalks of medicinal herbs and brought them over, and Chen Xuan had given him another batch of pills.
"They're all sold out," Hei Hu said.
"Didn't I tell you to keep some stock?" Chen Xuan asked.
Hei Hu said helplessly, "Mr. Chen, you don't know how popular your pills are now. They've spread throughout the provincial capital, and the price keeps climbing, reaching thirty million per pill!"
"Thirty million?" Chen Xuan was also taken aback.
Hei Hu squinted, his smile so wide it seemed his eyes were about to shut. "Even so, last night a bunch of distributors called me, begging on their knees. I had no choice. I couldn't let those wealthy people kneel before me! That's when I went against your instructions and took out the pills I had on hand... I heard the black market price has reached thirty-two million..."
Chen Xuan let out a light snort.
Hei Hu clearly wasn't acting out of helplessness; he had simply enjoyed being flattered by these distributors and had taken out the pills.
However, the popularity of these pills exceeded Chen Xuan's expectations. He thought that releasing too many pills would affect the price.
Clearly, the demand for these pills was too great, and coupled with the distributors' strong sales capabilities, this situation arose.
Although Hei Hu had delivered several more medicinal herbs, Chen Xuan had refined dozens of pills. However, continuing like this wouldn't be sustainable.
He had a thought and said, "You spread the word: from now on, only trade old herbs for pills. I'll give you twenty more pills."
"Got it!" Hei Hu immediately agreed.
He naturally understood Chen Xuan's intention. Only with sufficient medicinal herbs could he refine more pills and earn more funds.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up," Chen Xuan asked.
"Yes, yes..."
"Speak."
Hei Hu hesitated for a moment, thinking this matter would be beneficial to Chen Xuan, and then said, "Mr. Chen, it is widely rumored in the medical community that you possess powerful alchemy skills and hold a lost prescription. You are secretly referred to as the Medical Immortal, a legendary figure."
"Therefore, many influential families want to meet you recently, hoping to cooperate with you to expand production... With your powerful alchemy skills, you can dominate the entire pharmaceutical industry of Jiangnan Province!"
The more Hei Hu spoke, the more excited he became. "With your medical skills, at your command, many influential families will undoubtedly obey your every word!"
"Didn't I say I wouldn't meet anyone?" Chen Xuan's expression turned cold.
Hei Hu could hear the coldness in Chen Xuan's voice even through the phone and mentally cursed himself. He quickly said, "Mr. Chen, the thing is, there's one family you still know."
"Who?"
"The Yu family! The Yu family said that their number one figure is willing to personally invite you."
