"Qin Xiao, when do you plan to go to the Song family?" Shen Xingling asked after taking a sip of porridge. "That old fox Song Tianxiong is definitely treating Ye Chen like a treasure now. You'd better think of a good strategy."
Qin Xiao put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said with a deep look in his eyes, "No rush. Let Ye Chen and his three 'treasure' prescriptions ferment in the Song family for a few days. The higher Song Tianxiong elevates Ye Chen, the more painful the fall will be."
“You mean…” Long Aobing’s eyes lit up.
"To destroy someone, you must first make them mad." Qin Xiao smiled slightly. "Song Tianxiong is a businessman; profit-seeking is in his nature. Ye Chen's prescription can bring him profit, so he will naturally value it. But what if I could bring him ten times, a hundred times, the profit Ye Chen could bring?"
Upon hearing this, Song Zhixue's grip on the spoon tightened slightly, and she looked up at Qin Xiao. She knew her father too well; Qin Xiao was absolutely right.
"Are you confident?" Shen Xingling asked with some concern. "The Song family has a deep-rooted pharmaceutical business. If Ye Chen's prescription is really as miraculous as rumored, Song Tianxiong may not easily change his mind."
"That depends on whether my 'gift' is substantial enough," Qin Xiao said confidently. Any one of the technologies in his [Future Technology Blueprint (Medicine)] was enough to revolutionize the medical field. To deal with Song Tianxiong, he didn't even need to reveal the most crucial parts; just a hint would be enough to make that old fox flock to him.
"By the way, Miss Song," Qin Xiao turned to Song Zhixue, "besides valuing the direct economic benefits of the prescription, is there anything else your father is particularly concerned about? Or, has the Song family encountered any insurmountable bottlenecks in the pharmaceutical field?"
Song Zhixue was taken aback by Qin Xiao's question. After a moment of contemplation, she said softly, "My father... has always wanted Song family's traditional Chinese medicine to truly go global and gain recognition from the mainstream international medical community, instead of just operating in small circles within the Chinese community. In addition, our Song Pharmaceuticals has invested heavily in the research and development of biological agents, but progress has been slow, especially for some... well, for some new and difficult-to-cure chronic diseases, we have not yet achieved any breakthroughs."
Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes. The internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, the bottlenecks in the research and development of biological agents... this [future technology blueprint] was practically a tailor-made surprise for Song Tianxiong.
"I understand." Qin Xiao nodded. "Miss Song, I'll probably need your cooperation when we go to the Song family in a few days."
"Me?" Song Zhixue was somewhat surprised.
“Yes.” Qin Xiao looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “You’ll find out then. Perhaps, you, the eldest daughter of the Song family, will be able to personally present your father with the grand gift he has always dreamed of.”
Long Aobing listened from the side, completely bewildered, but she had a blind trust in Qin Xiao; whatever he said seemed impressive to her. She moved closer to Qin Xiao, excitedly asking, "What about me? What about me? Husband, what am I going to do at the Song family? Be your bodyguard? Or cause trouble?"
Qin Xiao chuckled: "You, just be beautiful and watch how Ye Chen falls from heaven to hell."
"Yay!" Long Aobing cheered, as if she could already see Ye Chen's unfortunate situation.
Shen Xingling looked at the group of people and shook her head helplessly, but she also felt a little expectant. She really wanted to see what tricks Qin Xiao had up his sleeve that would make the profit-driven Song Tianxiong give up Ye Chen, his "golden son-in-law".
Over the next two days, Qin Xiao did not rush into action. On one hand, he carefully sorted through the information in the [Future Technology Blueprint], selecting the most suitable technologies as "stepping stones" and "killer features," and thinking about how to present them in the most shocking and stimulating way for Song Tianxiong.
On the other hand, he also kept a close eye on Ye Chen and the Song family's movements through his own channels.
As he expected, Ye Chen thrived in the Song family thanks to those three prescriptions.
Song Tianxiong praised him highly, not only promising him shares in Song's Pharmaceutical, but also actually starting to spread rumors that he would marry Song Zhixue to Ye Chen. For a time, Ye Chen seemed to have become the most sought-after new elite in Jiangcheng's high society.
Song Zhixue spent a few relatively peaceful days in this villa, yet her heart was filled with turmoil.
She was still not good at housework, and her attempts to cook ended in failure, but Qin Xiao did not look down on her because of this. Instead, he made her feel the long-lost respect and equality.
She gradually discovered that Qin Xiao was not the shallow rich kid she initially thought he was. He was calm, wise, and had a vision and composure far beyond his peers. His occasional gentleness and humor also stirred a ripple in her frozen heart.
Especially when she saw Qin Xiao intently researching information and making plans in the study, his commanding presence made her involuntarily lose herself in thought.
She even began to wonder how many secrets this man was still hiding.
That afternoon, Qin Xiao received a phone call.
"Young Master Qin, everything is arranged. Song Tianxiong will be hosting a banquet for several authorities in the medical field at 'Tianyue Restaurant' tonight, and Ye Chen will be accompanying them. It is said that Song Tianxiong wants to use this opportunity to promote Ye Chen's prescription and officially announce the cooperation with Ye Chen as well as... the news of a marriage alliance."
After listening, Qin Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile: "Very good. Notify our people to prepare to watch the show."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiao looked at Song Zhixue, who was watching a soap opera with Long Aobing and Shen Xingling in the living room, and said with a smile, "Miss Song, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to a good show."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhixue's heart skipped a beat, sensing that something was about to happen. She raised her clear eyes and looked at Qin Xiao: "What play?"
"A play... about your future husband." Qin Xiao's smile was meaningful.
