Chapter 697 Qin Weizhong's True Colors
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's expression turned cold, and a dominant, vast aura permeated the air: "Furthermore, who do you think you are to interfere with my affairs?"
The young man's expression changed.
He was startled by Chen Xuan's aura, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In the provincial capital, he had recently heard some rumors about Chen Xuan, but he hadn't taken them seriously. Yet, he never expected this guy to exude an aura of disdain for the world; it was too inconceivable.
He said coldly, "Kid, let me tell you, don't think you're so great just because you've become the Su family's son-in-law. I warn you, you'd better stay away from my cousin. The Murong family has already decided on her marriage. If you dare to provoke my cousin, I won't let you off."
"Idiot!"
Chen Xuan turned and left.
Not long after he left, Murong Meng walked out of the hotel with a cheerful heart. Joy radiated from her delicate face, making her already charming features even more alluring, causing the men around her to salivate.
Seeing Murong Meng's expression, the young man slapped his forehead.
It's over!
Murong Meng had completely fallen for him!
How would he explain this to the family?
Chen Xuan drove all the way, his mood exceptionally gloomy, honking the horn almost constantly.
Murong Meng liking her best friend's fiancé would be amusing if seen in the news, but becoming the male lead in such a story would be pure melodrama.
What was this all about?
As soon as he returned to the villa, a servant walked up and said, "Young Master, someone is waiting in the room."
"Who is it?"
"Qin Weizhong, the President of the Jiangnan Provincial Medical Association."
"Oh? Why is he here?"
Chen Xuan frowned and strode into the living room. As soon as he entered, he saw a man sitting in the room, who was indeed Qin Weizhong, the President of the Jiangnan Medical Association.
"President Qin, your visit to my humble abode truly brings splendor to the Su family!"
Chen Xuan walked over with a smile.
"Brother Chen Xuan, you're finally back. This pot of tea is almost losing its flavor," Qin Weizhong said with a wry smile.
"President Qin, I sincerely apologize. I had something urgent, so I was delayed for a while. May I know why you're looking for me?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I believe the medicinal pills that Brother Chen Xuan gifted previously have great potential. I heard that Brother Chen Xuan wants to produce them in large quantities, so I wanted to cooperate with Brother Chen Xuan. I wonder if Brother Chen Xuan would grant me this favor."
Qin Weizhong got straight to the point, unwilling to waste time.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Those medicinal pills were what Chen Xuan intended for Su Yunxi to produce. Now, Qin Weizhong had come to seek cooperation.
Moreover, not long ago, Chen Xuan had already given the pills to Su Yunxi, who had submitted them for approval. The approving authority was the Medical Association, and Qin Weizhong happened to see the pills submitted by Su's Pharmaceutical.
The name of the medicinal pills had been changed, but Qin Weizhong still recognized them as the pills Chen Xuan had gifted based on their reported efficacy.
This type of medicinal pill was to be mass-produced, and Qin Weizhong perceived its future potential to be even greater than the new drugs currently released by Su's Pharmaceutical!
A single new drug had already propelled Su's Pharmaceutical into the ranks of the provincial capital's four great families. One could imagine how significant this medicinal pill was!
It was precisely for this reason that Qin Weizhong had eagerly come to discuss cooperation with Chen Xuan.
Seeing Chen Xuan hesitate, Qin Weizhong quickly said, "Brother Chen Xuan, don't worry. If we cooperate to produce this miraculous medicinal pill, I can mobilize the Medical Association's power to rapidly roll it out across the entire Jiangnan Province! It will absolutely allow both of us to make a fortune!"
"As for the profit sharing, you get seventy, and I get thirty!"
Chen Xuan shook his head, "President Qin, this is not about profit sharing. The main reason is that I have already let my fiancée develop this medicinal pill, and I do not intend to cooperate with anyone else for its production! As you know, my fiancée's main business is in the pharmaceutical industry, and this is very important for her and the entire Su family."
One day in the future, the provincial capital's Su family would venture into the capital. Having more powerful assets in hand would give him more confidence.
Qin Weizhong's expression became displeased.
He had personally come to discuss cooperation with Chen Xuan and had even helped Chen Xuan before, lowering his stance. Yet, he did not expect Chen Xuan to refuse his cooperation.
As for Chen Xuan's explanation, in Qin Weizhong's opinion, Chen Xuan simply didn't want to cooperate with him.
He let out a few cold laughs, filled with a sense of threat: "Brother Chen Xuan, you should also know that although the Medical Association does not have absolute power like the government, it holds significant influence in the pharmaceutical industry. Without the Medical Association's support, your medicine might not even get approved. Do you think it can be sold?"
Chen Xuan's pupils contracted.
This threatening tone was completely undisguised!
"Then I won't trouble President Qin," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile.
He wanted to reserve these medicinal pills for Su Yunxi and had no intention of cooperating with Qin Weizhong.
"Brother Chen Xuan, it seems you are unwilling to give me face?" Qin Weizhong's face darkened.
"President Qin, you shouldn't think your face is that valuable," Chen Xuan replied.
"Very good, Brother Chen Xuan indeed lives up to the title of Jiangnan Medicine King and the Su family's chosen son-in-law. Your demeanor is impressive. However, you must remember that the title of Jiangnan Medicine King was bestowed by the Medical Association, and the Su family is also a pharmaceutical enterprise!"
In Qin Weizhong's view, Chen Xuan's confidence stemmed from two sources: first, Chen Xuan being crowned the Jiangnan Medicine King, and second, the Su family's backing.
However, the Jiangnan Medicine King title was awarded by the Medical Association, and the Su family was a pharmaceutical enterprise. While the Medical Association might not be able to decide the fate of the provincial capital's Su family, it could certainly make things extremely difficult for them!
"See the guest out!"
Chen Xuan said coldly, in response to Qin Weizhong's threat.
"Fine! Chen Xuan, you have three days to consider. Think it over carefully!"
With that, President Qin flicked his sleeves and left.
Chen Xuan looked at Qin Weizhong's departing back, his brow furrowed.
The first time he met Qin Weizhong, he thought this person was worth befriending. But how could he have changed so much in the blink of an eye?
At this moment, Elder Zhang happened to call, informing Chen Xuan of the reason.
"Mr. Chen, did Qin Weizhong approach you to discuss the development of the medicinal pills?" Elder Zhang asked directly over the phone.
His tone conveyed a hint of anxiety.
"Elder Zhang, how did you know?" Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised.
"To be frank, Qin Weizhong just issued several orders. The first is to suspect Mr. Chen of cheating during the competition and to conduct an investigation. Your title of Jiangnan Medicine King has also been temporarily revoked. Additionally, several new drugs that the Su family intended to submit for approval will undergo re-verification."
"Despicable and shameless!"
Chen Xuan clenched his fists.
This Qin Weizhong was too despicable!
Elder Zhang shook his head and sighed, "Brother Chen Xuan, this is also my fault. I thought Qin Weizhong was older, and seeing Brother Chen Xuan's exquisite medical skills, he would be more restrained. But I didn't expect him to do something like this. It seems Qin Weizhong's conscience has truly been completely consumed by the temptation of power."
"Elder Zhang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Qin Weizhong has a problem?" Chen Xuan felt that there were many things he didn't know.
Indeed, he didn't know. His interactions with Qin Weizhong were only through the medical conference. As for what kind of person Qin Weizhong was, he hadn't deeply understood him, merely finding him decent based on brief exchanges.
Now, it seemed this person was hiding something profound!
