Upon hearing this, Dean Qian was taken aback.
This Xia family's daughter said that Niannian was his beneficiary?
Where did you hear that from?
Niannian is Master Gu's personal disciple, how could she possibly need his financial assistance?
If this child were willing to show up and treat patients, countless people would be willing to pay a fortune to hire her.
Seeing Dean Qian's reaction, Xia Lan assumed that she was right.
He then added fuel to the fire, saying, "Dean Qian's sponsorship of high school students who are interested in medicine is a good deed. But what if he sponsors the wrong person? Wouldn't that be a waste of your good intentions?"
Dean Qian scrutinized her with a sharp gaze, his expression somewhat critical: "What do you mean by that? You just said that Jiang Nian has a lot of problems at school, what were you referring to?"
Xia Lan immediately said, "As you know, Jiang Nian is in the same class as me. Although she is a special recruit from Canxing, she is even more arrogant than an S-level student like me."
"Dean Qian should also know Qin Xiaoxiao from the Qin family. On the first day of school, Jiang Nian poured soup from the cafeteria onto her head in front of everyone."
"Moreover, in class, Jiang Nian would hit people at the slightest disagreement, and she even bullied me by pressing my head into a bucket of water. But it seems that she has someone backing her up, so I can only endure this grievance."
"I feel that a student with such low character is not worthy of your financial support and guidance, Dean, which is why I came to tell you this."
Dean Qian couldn't help but frown.
Although this was the first time he had met Jiang Nian, how could a disciple personally trained by Master Gu be of such low character?
Moreover, after getting to know Jiang Nian, he realized that the child was not at all like what Xia Lan described.
Xia Lan, on the other hand, seemed to dislike Jiang Nian and deliberately came to him to speak ill of him.
Dean Qian's tone turned cold: "I understand."
Is that all?
Seeing that Dean Qian's reaction was indifferent, Xia Lan couldn't help but ask, "Dean Qian, will you continue to sponsor Jiang Nian?"
Dean Qian didn't want to say much to this rich heiress: "The seminar is about to start, you should go back now."
Seeing that Dean Qian looked unwell, Xia Lan felt that her plan had succeeded.
She successfully made Dean Qian dislike Jiang Nian.
Xia Lan sat back down in her seat, and Madam Xia asked, "Lanlan, where did you go?"
“Jiang Nian is actually one of Dean Qian’s beneficiaries, so of course I have to tell Dean Qian her true colors.” Xia Lan said smugly.
He then looked at his parents and asked, "By the way, Mom and Dad, have you found Master Gu's apprentice yet?"
"No."
Xia Changqing looked annoyed, his brows furrowed tightly.
What happened?
The seminar is about to begin, and all the invited guests have arrived.
But there were no young faces who had never appeared in public before. Looking at the list, there was nothing to be found.
Could it be that the information he received was incorrect, and that Master Gu's disciple did not come at all?
Xia Changqing was extremely annoyed.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
Tell him that the person whose disciple Gu will be attending the seminar tonight supposedly has connections to get in touch with that person's friends.
Since we can't meet in person, it would be acceptable to have an intermediary convey our intention to cooperate.
So what if he's Master Gu's personal disciple? No matter how high his status or demeanor, there's nothing money can't buy these days. As long as he sets a high enough price, he doesn't believe the other party won't be tempted.
Not long after, the well-known middleman in the industry called.
Xia Changqing quickly answered the call, only to hear an unfriendly tone from the other party: "President Xia, are you messing with me?"
"What?" Xia Changqing was taken aback. "What do you mean by this?"
The other party said on the phone, "I finally managed to contact a friend of Master Gu's apprentice and told him about Mingxia Pharmaceutical's desire to cooperate."
"But people say that you and your wife once insulted Master Gu's disciple. Especially your daughter, who repeatedly provoked Master Gu's disciple and has already offended him."
"Given the current situation, what cooperation are you still asking for? You're simply wasting my time."
"What did you say?" Xia Changqing, holding the phone, almost stood up on the spot.
He quickly replied, "My wife and I wanted to collaborate with Master Gu's disciple, how could we possibly have insulted him?"
"Besides, my daughter is a high school student. Where would she have the opportunity to meet someone like Master Gu's disciple? How could she possibly provoke him to his face time and time again?"
The middleman remained unmoved: "Mr. Xia, you should ask your daughter yourself. Don't ask me for help with this kind of thing next time."
She slammed down the phone.
Xia Lan had no idea what had happened: "What's wrong, Dad?"
Xia Changqing's face was grim: "Lanlan, have you met Master Gu's disciple? And even provoked him to his face?"
Xia Lan's eyes widened: "...How is this possible? My parents begged me to see them, how could I possibly see them?"
"Besides, I know that our family's ability to rise again depends on that big shot. How could I possibly provoke him? I'm not stupid."
Xia Lan looked aggrieved.
Xia Changqing was completely baffled.
But the middleman couldn't possibly have fabricated such a story.
Xia Changqing was originally full of confidence, but now it felt like he had been doused with cold water, and his heart sank.
Gu Qingcheng's apprentice doesn't cooperate with the Xia family at all, so how can his Mingxia Pharmaceuticals be revived?
-
Inside the venue, on the other side.
Li Ning sent a message to Jiang Nian.
[FOX, Xia Changqing of Mingxia Pharmaceutical contacted me through an intermediary, saying he wanted to meet with you and cooperate with you to help their company transform, but I refused.]
[This Xia family is ridiculous. Xia Lan messed with your safety rope and hired people at school to target you. They actually want to cooperate with you? Dream on.]
Last weekend, after Jiang Nian returned to Beijing from Jiangcheng and met with Shen Qinglan, she met with Li Ning for dinner that evening.
Jiang Nian also told Li Ning about her other, previously unknown identities.
In a sense, Li Ning has almost become her agent, connecting her with the outside world on her behalf.
Jiang Nian remained calm and tapped the screen: 【Okay.】
She couldn't be bothered with the Xia family either.
After saying that, Li Ning sent another message.
[By the way, FOX, I have some gossip you want to hear.]
[It's about Si Boye, the heir of the Si family in Jiangcheng.]
