Chapter 90 Yu Tian Sheng
Xu Yang had just grasped the meaning of Chen Xuan's words when Chen Xuan's hand, like a large fan, landed on Xu Yang's face, delivering two stinging slaps.
Chen Xuan's grip was firm, and the slaps echoed as Xu Yang let out a pig-like howl.
Wang Xue gasped, her beautiful eyes widening with excitement.
Chen Xuan had actually slapped a vice president for her, a mere assistant!
My goodness, was this real?
Xu Yang clutched his rapidly swelling face, glaring at Chen Xuan with a contorted expression. "You dare hit me? You're finished! No one can save you!"
"Do you want another beating?" Chen Xuan asked.
Xu Yang immediately shut his mouth, a flicker of fear in his eyes. He was indeed somewhat intimidated by Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan sneered dismissively and then said to Wang Xue, "Let's go!"
Wang Xue blinked in surprise, then reacted, blurting out, "Where are we going?"
"Isn't the shareholder meeting about to start?" Chen Xuan stated calmly.
"Yes!"
Wang Xue nodded flusteredly and hurried towards the exit, Chen Xuan following closely behind.
After the initial excitement, Wang Xue felt a pang of dismay.
While slapping Xu Yang felt exhilarating, she knew that if this incident got out, Chen Xuan would be utterly ruined!
Even if Su Yunxi wanted to help him, it would likely be difficult.
At this moment, Wang Xue found herself feeling a sense of gratitude and admiration for her superior, whom she had only known for a few hours.
In the office, Xu Yang picked up his glasses, which had been knocked off, and slowly got up from the floor. His face was filled with malice, and he gritted his teeth, vowing, "You just wait! At the shareholder meeting, the Yu family will definitely not let you off!"
...
Shareholder Meeting!
In the vast conference room sat the influential figures of Jiangzhou. Many of the people present Chen Xuan had met at the banquet, their attitudes then warm and inviting. Now, however, upon seeing him, they averted their gazes as if he were a harbinger of doom.
Chen Xuan understood that this was likely due to the Yu family's influence, but he paid it no mind, casually finding a seat.
Though vice presidents wielded considerable power within the company, their role was subservient to the shareholders. In essence, they were high-ranking employees.
Just then, the rhythmic tapping of leather shoes on the floor echoed from outside, growing closer. Following the sound, a figure entered, surrounded by a throng of affluent individuals.
Upon seeing the newcomer, all the shareholders rose as one, their faces wreathed in smiles, stepping forward to greet him with enthusiasm.
"Patriarch Yu, it's been a long time! You remain as spirited as ever!"
"Patriarch Yu, you've graced this humble shareholder meeting with your personal presence."
...
Chen Xuan casually looked up and saw a middle-aged man being surrounded by the crowd.
This man was dressed in a Tang suit, with a square face and a robust build. His eyes gleamed with intelligence, and he exuded an aura of authority, a presence that set him apart from the other wealthy individuals.
He seemed to possess a commanding presence, surveying the world with an air of effortless dominion.
Compared to this man in the Tang suit, all the other magnates present seemed to be on a completely different level in terms of sheer aura.
This middle-aged man in the Tang suit was none other than the head of the Yu family, Yu Tian Sheng!
Beside him stood another middle-aged man in a suit, glaring venomously at Chen Xuan. This was Vice President Xu Yang, whom Chen Xuan had just dealt with.
In Chen Xuan's eyes, Xu Yang was merely a pawn of the Yu family, a "dog" placed within the Yishen Pharmaceutical company, and he gave him no further thought.
He withdrew his gaze, intending to use his divine sense to confirm if Yu Tian Sheng was the mysterious figure he sought. However, at that moment, he noticed an elderly man standing beside Yu Tian Sheng, clad in a Daoist robe for feng shui practitioners.
Despite his advanced age, the old man was remarkably vibrant, possessing a mental energy that belied his years.
However, the old man was truly hideous to behold, his face resembling gnarled bark, covered in unsightly bumps.
The old man seemed to notice Chen Xuan's gaze and looked over, a knowing, half-smile playing on his lips.
Chen Xuan's mind raced. Could this be the feng shui master who guarded the Yu family?
He refrained from activating his divine sense, as the feng shui master's presence would surely allow him to detect that Chen Xuan was the one who had attempted to breach the Yu family's feng shui array that day.
Yu Tian Sheng spoke with a chilling voice, "I wouldn't have come if I didn't have to, but my precious son and my brother are both in the hospital, so I had no choice but to come myself."
The assembled magnates faltered, their gazes shifting to Chen Xuan with a peculiar look.
However, with Su Yunxi present, no one dared to say more. Yet, everyone understood that Yu Tian Sheng's presence was solely aimed at Chen Xuan!
After exchanging pleasantries with the assembled magnates, Yu Tian Sheng suddenly scanned the crowd and then inquired, "May I know which one of you is the young brother Chen Xuan?"
The expressions of the magnates grew subtly strange, their eyes darting towards Chen Xuan intermittently.
Chen Xuan calmly held his water, taking small sips, as if he hadn't heard the question.
Beside him, Xu Yang shot Chen Xuan a venomous glance, then pointed towards Chen Xuan and whispered, "Patriarch Yu, he is Chen Xuan."
Yu Tian Sheng looked over, his gaze lingering on Chen Xuan for a few seconds. Apart from his decent looks, he could discern nothing particularly remarkable about Chen Xuan, perhaps, this young man was exceptionally skilled at concealing his true nature.
He then spoke, "Young brother Chen Xuan, I've heard of your astonishing medical skills. I wonder if you could tend to the injuries of Feiyang and Yu Tao?"
The tone, while seemingly a request, carried an undeniable air of command.
Chen Xuan remained silent.
A flicker of coldness crossed Yu Tian Sheng's face, but he took a breath and continued, "I've heard you have some conflict with Feiyang, perhaps a misunderstanding. Rest assured, as long as you heal Yu Tao and Feiyang, I will not trouble you."
Yu Tian Sheng's words were of non-retaliation, but his intention was clear: once Chen Xuan had healed his family, the Yu family would unleash its full fury!
Chen Xuan's expression remained impassive as he replied, "I've already stated that if your Yu family members kneel and beg me, I will naturally heal their injuries."
A wave of astonishment rippled through the room!
Everyone had expected that with Yu Tian Sheng's personal intervention, Chen Xuan would readily agree, offering an apology to the Yu family. Instead, he had dared to utter such arrogant words.
Had this young man lost his mind?!
Did he truly believe that with the Su family's backing, he could act with such impunity?
Yu Tian Sheng stared intently at Chen Xuan, gritting his teeth. "Very good, very good! I, Yu Tian Sheng, have navigated the world for many years, and this is the first time I have encountered someone so arrogant! I've heard you have considerable skill in combat; my Yu family will undoubtedly seek to test your abilities in the future!"
"Uncle Yu, please don't be angry. I'll try to persuade him later," Su Yunxi quickly interjected, a professional smile gracing her face.
"Yunxi, then you must persuade him well, or else you should be careful when walking alone at night in the future," Yu Tian Sheng stated coldly.
A glint of coldness flashed across Su Yunxi's expression, but she nodded. "Rest assured, Uncle Yu."
Yu Tian Sheng ceased his direct attention to Chen Xuan, evidently considering Su Yunxi's influence to be significant.
He turned his head towards Su Yunxi, his eyes immediately brightening, and he smiled, "Niece Yunxi, you are truly becoming more beautiful by the day. No wonder my Feiyang is so smitten with you, rejecting all the arranged marriages your family has introduced."
"Uncle Yu is too kind," Su Yunxi replied with a gentle smile.
Yu Tian Sheng continued, "Uncle? Our two families are about to become in-laws. Calling me 'Uncle' feels a bit too distant."
Su Yunxi calmly responded, "Uncle Yu, my father is currently missing. This marriage alliance is not yet finalized. We can discuss it further once my father reappears."
Yu Tian Sheng glanced at Chen Xuan, a sarcastic smirk playing on his lips. "Yunxi, your father and I are old acquaintances. Even with his poor judgment, he wouldn't select such a second-hand item as a son-in-law for the Su family, would he? After all, the Su family is a prestigious and noble lineage in the provincial capital."
Su Yunxi's expression turned stern, her tone leaving no room for doubt. "These matters can be discussed at a later date. Let us commence the shareholder meeting promptly."
With that, Su Yunxi turned away, no longer engaging with Yu Tian Sheng, and returned to her seat.
"Excellent! The shareholder meeting is indeed the primary agenda. Let us begin the meeting, and some matters are not suitable for discussion in such a setting."
Having said that, Yu Tian Sheng, as the second-largest shareholder of Yishen Pharmaceutical, took his seat opposite Su Yunxi.
The shareholder meeting was primarily focused on establishing strategic policies and charting the company's future development direction.
Chen Xuan, however, paid little attention to these proceedings, barely listening.
Yet, he occasionally overheard a strategic policy that evoked a peculiar expression on his face!
Chen Xuan discovered that among Yishen Pharmaceutical's strategic development plans, there was one specifically aimed at: "Seeking a mysterious immortal physician and establishing a medicinal and pill system."
Within all of Yishen Pharmaceutical's strategic objectives, this particular one was rated with five stars for difficulty and five stars for profit margin, the highest ratings possible.
Note: The mysterious immortal physician is of unknown identity, maintains a low profile, and cooperation presents extreme difficulty.
