Bai Yajing hugged her tightly, saying, "Grandma, you're the best!"
Even at this age, he still accompanies her in starting her business and working hard.
The grandmother and grandson hugged each other tenderly for a while.
Bai Yajing rushed out with the order to report to the production team leader.
"Grandma, you rest for a bit, I'll take care of it! I'll go find someone to place the order first!"
Grandma chuckled and agreed, but didn't stop what she was doing. She enjoyed doing these things and didn't feel tired at all.
After discussing the production tasks with the production team leader, Bai Yajing still had to go to the purchasing department to urge him to collect the medicinal herbs.
The amount of medicinal herbs she needs is increasing. She's sourcing them from pharmacies in the surrounding villages and the city.
Just as Xiang's Pharmaceutical business was booming, danger was quietly approaching.
Yuan Xin, the owner of Minsheng Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical company in Kyoto, took notice of this emerging medium-sized factory.
At yet another meeting, he listened with dangerously narrowed eyes as his subordinates reported on the situation of Xiang's Pharmaceutical.
"Boss, this Tongxin Pill from Xiang's Pharmaceutical has taken away a lot of our market share," the sales manager said nervously, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Their price is lower than ours, and they're said to be more effective."
Yuan Xin was in his early sixties, with a neatly combed slicked-back hairstyle and a Zhonghua cigarette between his fingers.
He slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "Investigate the background of this Xiang family."
Xiang? I haven't heard that surname in ages...
Five days later, a detailed report was placed on Yuan Xin's desk.
He flipped through the pages, then suddenly stopped on one: "Oh? It's her, Vice President Bai from the military hospital! An old acquaintance, and her maternal grandmother is actually Xiang Lan?"
"Yes, boss," the secretary replied respectfully. "Xiang Lan was a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor before liberation. Later, she opened a small clinic in Xinghua Village, Shanghai."
This is all we can find; everything else is classified…
There's absolutely no information about her husband or family. The only reason we can find anything is because she didn't hide anything from them.
Yuan Xin was lost in memories for a moment, and they probably weren't good ones. He quickly frowned.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes: "No wonder...those prescriptions..." He pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Make arrangements, I need to meet this Director Bai."
The Xiang family actually has a descendant? He underestimated them. He had heard of Bai Yajing's name when delivering medicine to the military hospital, but he hadn't considered the Xiang family. Heh heh, what a coincidence...
When Bai Yajing received the invitation from Minsheng Pharmaceutical, she was both surprised and somewhat wary.
Grandma advised her to be careful: "Yuan Xin is not a good person. He followed your uncle and his family for a while back then. Unfortunately, no matter how well he pretended, as time went on, they discovered that he was not a good person. Your uncle and his family disliked him and drove him away."
Afterwards, they went to the battlefield and sacrificed their lives. The Yuan family gradually prospered.
His family had a long history of medical practice, and they didn't have a good reputation in the industry. I heard they would use any means necessary to grab business.
Your uncles only felt sorry for him because he lost his mother at a young age and his father didn't care for him. They took pity on him out of a moment of compassion. Who would have thought that someone with such a bad background would be truly bad!
Grandma was clearly upset as she thought about the past.
"Grandma, this guy doesn't have good intentions. We need to be prepared." Bai Yajing sighed. "No matter what, I'll go see him first and see what he's up to."
Upon hearing this, Grandma nodded, though she was worried.
"Okay, take someone with you, and be careful!"
The meeting was held in the luxurious conference room of Minsheng Pharmaceutical.
Yuan Xin warmly welcomed Bai Yajing and praised her "Tongxin Pill" as "a gem of traditional Chinese medicine".
