Jiang's father placed another piece of stir-fried beef with green peppers on Jiang Zao's plate: "If you like it, eat more."

Jiang nodded and silently ate her rice.

Lu Jinye was even more outrageous, eating one bite after another with his chopsticks, showing no trace of his aloof and roguish male god demeanor.

Mr. Jiang was very satisfied with the comparison.

Putting everything else aside, Lu Jinye has a good eye. Aside from his good taste in Jiang Zao, the fact that he loves the food Lu Jinye cooks proves that the kid has good taste.

Father Jiang was secretly proud.

Lu Jinye had no idea what Jiang's father was thinking; all he knew was that Jiang's father's cooking was really delicious.

One bowl after another.

By the end of the meal, Lu Jinye was a little embarrassed.

He seems to eat too much; I hope his aunt and uncle won't mind!

Lu Jinye looked up at Jiang's parents and, seeing that they didn't react, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Zao ultimately sued Li Wenhui and entrusted the entire matter to Zhong Liang to resolve.

That resolves the matter.

Jiang Zao quickly suppressed the news online, after all, she is also a major shareholder of ByteDance.

It's easy to find someone to suppress a trending topic and delete all comments about her while you're at it.

This incident shocked a large number of people, but these people can no longer post any information about Jiang Zao online.

Jiang Zao resumed her daily life and studies, but the traditional Chinese medicine program she was preparing for was already on the right track.

Her vast wealth enabled the rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and colleges across China.

At the same time, through the rapid spread of Douyin (TikTok) and the traffic it generated, the public became aware of the establishment of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Online comments are mixed.

Jiang ignored it. The opportunity was right in front of him, and the smart people had already seized it. Only the foolish people were still debating whether this matter was good or bad.

Traditional Chinese medicine schools across the country have enrolled a large number of students, and veteran TCM doctors have begun teaching.

Jiang Zao nodded in satisfaction.

I got through to Li Hua on the phone.

Jiang Zao: "Hello, are you busy?"

Li Hua on the other side: "No rush, please go ahead."

Jiang Zao: "Is the medicinal herb cultivation base for traditional Chinese medicine ready yet?"

Li Hua: "Currently, medicinal herb bases have been established in Beijing and some surrounding cities, but other suitable planting areas have not yet been approved."

Jiang Zao nodded: "Okay, but there are many categories of Chinese medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials suitable for planting vary from place to place, so we should try to prepare as many as possible."

Li Hua nodded: "Understood."

Jiang hung up the phone early.

What Jiang Zao didn't know was that her actions threw major domestic pharmaceutical companies into disarray.

Li Xi also sent a message: "President Jiang, the cold medicine and fever reducer produced by the pharmaceutical company have started production this morning and will be available on the market soon."

Jiang Zao: [Good. Don't skimp on advertising. Even if it doesn't make money, just invest in it until everyone knows about it.]

Li Xi: [Understood.]

More than a month later.

A private room inside the Jinhe Club in Beijing.

The chairmen of four major domestic pharmaceutical companies gathered together.

Wei Wenxiang of Renhe Pharmaceutical: "Everyone, you must have heard about Jinzao Pharmaceutical, which has suddenly become very popular recently, right?"

Qian Le from Junle Pharmaceutical: "I've heard about it, and I also know that the boss of this pharmaceutical company this morning is the same person as the person in the national TCM hospital!"

Wang Qicai of Qicai Pharmaceuticals: "Really? Who is this person with such great power?"

Wen Zihan of Dongyang Bio: "Putting everything else aside, this pharmaceutical company suddenly emerged this morning, and its location is particularly good."

Wei Wenxiang looked grim: "This morning's pharmaceutical manufacturing is already affecting us."

Qian Le nodded: "Yes, I heard that the cold medicine that was launched a couple of days ago has received a very good response. A large number of people have already bought the cold medicine produced by Jinzao Pharmaceutical."

Wang Qicai dismissed it, saying, "This pharmaceutical company only has two products this morning, nothing to worry about."

Wen Zihan understood their concerns. The pharmaceutical company was gaining momentum this morning and must have a powerful backer, which was why it had risen so quickly.

So, sooner or later, the pharmaceutical company that made this medicine will share the profits with them. As for how much, well…

Wang Qicai continued, "You don't need to worry too much. Don't you think about it? Which city doesn't have our pharmacy now?"

"If our pharmacies don't recommend it, their medicine won't sell!"

"It's impossible for their company to sell drugs themselves, right?"

Wei Wenxiang nodded. Although he was still a little worried, he felt that Wang Qicai's words made sense.

Qian Le remained silent, lost in thought.

Finally, the four major pharmaceutical companies decided to refuse to stock Jinzao Pharmaceutical's drugs in their respective pharmacies in order to suppress Jinzao Pharmaceutical.

The four-person conversation ended in a daze.

They never imagined that the company they had underestimated, Morning Pharmaceuticals, would actually grow into a giant at a rapid pace.

It dealt a huge blow to their businesses.

Two days later, Jiang Zao also received notices that major pharmacies had removed the medicines that Jiang Zao had made from their shelves.

Li Xi was furious: "It must have been the four major pharmaceutical companies that did this. Their pharmacies led the boycott, which made other small pharmacies afraid to put it on their shelves either."

"I heard that many residents have asked about our cold medicine, and we have been told that we don't have it."

Jiang Zao climbed out of bed and punched the bed: "It's okay, if they want to play, then we'll play along."

“There are no pharmacies selling it, right? Then let’s register and build our own pharmacies. I’ll transfer another 200 million to you so you can register. Then we’ll start building our own pharmacies.”

"By the way, give me a store every kilometer, comparable to a pharmacy, right? We have plenty of money!"

Li Xi chuckled, "Okay, Mr. Jiang."

Li Xi went off to work full of confidence, her complexion looking much rosier.

Jiang Zao hung up the phone and transferred 200 million yuan to Li Xi's account.

She was just worried about where to spend her money, but now things are great, she's completed her December tasks.

System Xiaoqi popped its head out: "Host, would you like to open a reward?"

Jiang Zao nodded: "Let's announce the results."

System Xiaoqi: "Okay."

Jiang Zao: "Approachability?"

System Xiaoqi nodded: "Yes, affinity will make the surrounding animals more affectionate towards the host."

Jiang Zao: "Are people the same?"

System Xiaoqi: "Of course, humans are animals too."

Jiang Zao: "Does that mean I'll make people trust me more?"

System Xiaoqi: "You got it right! You're so smart!"
