Chapter 679 The Show Begins
Qiao Xi pretended to lie down at home for three days, her face pale and her hair disheveled.
She also ate less, and in just three days, her face looked noticeably thinner. There were also some red bloodshot under her eyes, making her look haggard.
During these three days, she went upstairs every day to take care of Cheng Han's health while no one else was around.
Although the person was still unconscious, his breathing had become much steadier.
She saved her master's life completely, but the serious injury also damaged his vitality to some extent, and she didn't know how much he could recover in the future.
Apart from her daily visits to the third floor of the Huo family, the bodyguards kept a close watch on her.
Be on high alert.
No one is allowed to enter, and sometimes even Huo Xingzhou is stopped from entering or leaving, with the only thing being that the young lady has ordered that no one should be disturbed.
Qiao Xi was dressed neatly and put on some simple makeup to hide her haggard look.
The Lu family father and daughter are suspicious.
Be careful when fighting them.
If she looks too haggard, it would be too much.
Qiao Xi walked down to the living room, looked at the people in the living room and said, "Old Chen, let's go."
"Okay, Madam."
Qiao Xi took a look and saw that Huo Xingzhou was no longer in the living room. He must have been busy again.
Old Chen prepared the car, opened the door and let Qiao Xi get in.
"Young Madam, I've brought all the things. You can do whatever you want. There's a car with four bodyguards in the back. If you want to overthrow the Chinese Medicine Association, I can send someone on short notice."
When Qiao Xi saw the scene, she smiled and said, "Don't be ridiculous. It's not that serious."
If we could overthrow the Chinese Medicine Association with good reason, why would we have waited until now?
Besides, the Chinese Medicine Association is not entirely a bad place.
"Let's go!"
Old Chen drove all the way to the entrance of the Chinese Medicine Association. Many directors and members stopped when they saw the familiar Rolls-Royce.
I've heard a lot of rumors about the Huo family and Cheng Han these days.
Qiao Xi also stayed indoors all the time, not even going to the beauty salon, let alone seeing any patients.
It was said that she was so lost in grief that she lost control and fell seriously ill.
"I thought she wasn't coming."
"It's really sad that our master has passed away. We also feel very sorry that Mr. Cheng has passed away."
"Yes, after all, he is a leading figure in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He is the only old gentleman to have the title of National Doctor in recent decades."
"What a shame, what a shame. I heard that President Lu called a meeting today because of this matter. Let's see what his rules are."
When Qiao Xi got out of the car, many people looked at her face again and again.
He whispered a few words of condolence.
Qiao Xi nodded slightly and walked inside.
Old Chen followed her closely, never leaving her side.
As soon as he reached the bell tower, he was stopped. The security guards already knew him and were very wary.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter. You can't barge in this time."
"No, I have to go in."
Old Chen refused to back down this time. "Even if you won't let me in, I'll find a way to get in. I have the ability. Why don't you give it a try?"
He pointed at the sturdy bodyguards behind him and said, "If you won't let me in, I'll just break in with my brothers. We're not going to cause any trouble, so what's the rule about not bringing bodyguards? What if someone goes crazy and hurts our young lady?"
"Our young lady is now the only disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han. The national doctor's body is still warm. If our disciple gets injured in your Chinese Medicine Association, I wonder how you will explain it to those people outside!"
His threats actually frightened the security guards.
Fortunately, this rule was just a verbal order from President Lu and was not written down in black and white.
They looked at each other and backed off a bit. If something really happened to Vice President Qiao, those people outside who were mourning Cheng Han would really tear them apart!
"Okay, just you follow. The other big guys stay outside, and you...just say you are Vice President Qiao's assistant when you go in." The security guard also found an excuse for Lao Chen, saying that there was no problem in bringing the assistant in.
Sometimes President Lu would bring an assistant in, and no one would stop him.
"Okay, I like you guys to be so understanding."
Old Chen smiled so hard that his big white teeth were exposed, and followed Qiao Xi into the room.
The other side.
The Lu family father and daughter were already sitting in the conference room.
This time Lu Yingxue knew where her place was.
The directors came in one after another.
Qiao Xi wasted some time and ended up being the last one.
When she walked in, Lu Yingxue looked hard at her face.
She looks so tired that even foundation can't hide it. I guess Qiao Xi must be very sad recently.
Lu Yingxue calmed down, with a slight smile on her lips, so that no one could see.
In addition to the meeting today, she also had to discuss something with Qiao Xi. The scars on her face couldn't wait, she had to use the jade skin cream.
Presumably, Qiao Xi would have no choice but to agree to the exchange within a month.
Lu Yingxue couldn't think of any reason why she would refuse. If she knew Cheng Qingnian's identity, she would agree even more.
She and her father were not afraid that Cheng Qingnian's identity would be revealed. After all, there were some old guys around Qiao Xi who would reveal the news to her, and their Lu family did not keep it a secret.
It didn't matter that the foolish woman was taken away by Qiao Xi for a month.
This month will definitely not cure her illness, it won’t even affect her skin.
Lu Yingxue's smile grew even wider.
Qiao Xi walked to the conference table and Lao Chen pulled her chair away.
She slowly sat down.
Lu Yingxue glanced at him and said, "Vice President Qiao is becoming more and more arrogant. Bodyguards are not allowed to attend meetings in the bell tower, but you are the only one who has the privilege. However, we will understand for the sake of your master Cheng Han."
Old Chen said in a loud voice: "I am the young lady's assistant, not a bodyguard. Do you have a rule that assistants are not allowed to come in?"
"Don't worry about this little thing."
Lu Bannong was the best at playing the good guy. He had a soothing smile on his face and said, "This is just an impromptu meeting for us. Just don't disrupt the order."
Lu Yingxue had no choice but to give up.
She leaned back in her chair with her arms folded, hostility hidden in her eyes.
After taking advantage of Qiao Xi, she will plan her revenge.
Lu Bannong coughed twice and said, "Now let's start the topic of our meeting."
"As everyone knows, the passing of Mr. Cheng is a great regret for our Chinese medicine community. More and more people are spontaneously mourning him online, and the impact is very wide." Lu Bannong glanced at Qiao Xi and continued.
"So, I'm calling this impromptu meeting today to invite everyone to discuss and commemorate Mr. Cheng as the permanent honorary president of our Chinese Medicine Association. Everyone is welcome to offer their opinions and a lively discussion is welcome. I've prepared morning tea for everyone. If we can't reach an agreement, we still have the second half."
When Lu Bannong said this, Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him.
It seemed as if he had not expected such a suggestion.
But she soon figured it out.
Lu Bannong is taking advantage of the situation.
