Chapter 498 If she loses, he will cover her
Huo Xingzhou took control of the conversation at the table, looked at Old Chen, and ordered, "Go to the study and bring the document I left on the desk to Second Young Master Xu."
"Yes, Master."
When Old Chen heard him mention the document, he didn't dare to neglect it.
In the morning, he went to the Qian family to collect the debt, and saw with his own eyes that the young master and Master Zhong secretly signed the agreement.
At that time, Mr. Zhong said that he was going to the hospital to visit a patient and asked Wan Jiang to buy a bunch of chrysanthemums.
I don’t know who I’m looking for trouble with.
Old Chen quickly took the materials from the study and placed them in front of Xu Yunye.
Qiao Xi and Sun Weimeng also stared at the document curiously, wondering what was written inside.
Xu Yunye looked through the information suspiciously, reading it from beginning to end, his expression becoming more serious.
"This is the acquisition document for the Qian family's medicinal materials factory, as well as the secret joint venture agreement between you and Young Master Zhong from the Imperial Capital?" Xu Yunye asked, his throat tightening as he pinched the footer of the document. "Why are you giving this to me?"
Huo Xingzhou put down his bowl and chopsticks and said calmly, "The Qian family is the Lu family's largest supplier of medicinal materials, so naturally they want to control the Lu family's lifeline. Zhong Yi and I secretly acquired the Qian family's medicinal materials factory. On the surface, he is the one who makes the decision, but I am worried."
Qiao Xi was surprised to hear that it was the Qian family’s medicinal materials factory!
Did Huo Xingzhou do so many things in the morning?
Xu Yunye also realized the seriousness of the matter, "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to secretly manage the medicinal material factory and eliminate the Lu family's other suppliers, so that the Lu family has no other choice but to rely on our traditional Chinese medicine factory. Can you do it for a year?"
Xu Yunye's breathing became slightly rapid.
If we can control the Lu family, many things will go smoothly.
Qiao Xi can also go further in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
If she really lost in the needle trial competition, could the medicinal materials factories they controlled be used as bargaining chips to keep Qiao Xi safe?
Xu Yunye didn't care about that. He said with a determined look, "I'll do it! I'll do it well. It won't take a year! I'll try to shorten the time..."
Huo Xingzhou kindly reminded him, "Don't underestimate the Lu family. Lu Bannong will never allow his lifeline to be controlled by others. He can always support a new medicinal material factory to take over. You have never done business, so I don't have any high expectations of you."
Xu Yunye was inspired. "I'll learn. I've learned a lot since I was little. A medicinal materials factory isn't like a big company. It doesn't require such complex management experience."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
"Um!"
Xu Yunye couldn't wait to do something practical for Qiao Xi.
Sun Weimeng smacked his lips. Why did he feel that Huo Xingzhou was just looking for an opportunity to send Xu Yunye away?
But what he said was indeed serious.
No! That's not the point!
"Boss Huo! The Qian family was doing fine yesterday, how come they're bankrupt today? You and Young Master Zhong even directly acquired their medicinal herb factory? Isn't that too fast?"
Sun Weimeng realized how terrifying Huo Xingzhou was.
Everyone said this man was resolute and decisive. Who would have thought he'd bankrupt the family right after he arrived, and even used the banner of Zhongyi!
Huo Xingzhou's mouth twitched slightly, his smile concealing a deep meaning.
Qiao Xi asked worriedly, "Is Master Zhong reliable? There are rumors that he and Lu Yingxue might get engaged after the needle testing conference. He might have acquired the medicinal materials factory to pave the way for the Lu family. We..."
Just because Zhong Yi is the obvious acquirer, the Lu family won't have too many suspicions.
But the Huo family is a hidden investor and can easily be backstabbed.
"So we need Second Young Master Xu to keep an eye on him." Huo Xingzhou looked very optimistic about Xu Yunye, which made Xu Yunye feel even more like he was carrying a heavy burden.
You see, young people are so easy to coax.
After hearing this, Qiao Xi sighed, "It feels like trying to get the skin of a tiger. But even if we lose the herbal medicine factory, our loss won't be that big."
Huo Xingzhou couldn't tell her in detail. Zhong Yi was probably the person they could trust most in the imperial capital.
He reached out his hand, gently stroking her slender, white fingers with his fingertips, and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Just focus on preparing for the needle test competition. There are only three days left."
Qiao Xi's whole body was tense.
Only three days left!
"Well, don't worry."
She will definitely try her best to reach the final round. Speaking of which, Shen Xuanzhi should have arrived in the imperial capital by now.
Huo Xingzhou placed his warm palm on the back of her hand and whispered, "Don't be so stressed. Just do your best and don't worry about winning or losing."
If you lose, he will cover the loss.
He absolutely could not bear to see Qiao Xi expelled from the traditional Chinese medicine community and forced to follow that shabby rule and have her tendons gouged out. Lu Bannong, who had proposed this rule, was clearly targeting everyone in Cheng Han's faction.
This is an attempt to kill them all, and it also shows that Lu Bannong is wary of Cheng Han's lineage.
Qiao Xi nodded obediently.
Xu Yunye, standing by, secretly clenched his fists, determined to do a good job at the herbal medicine factory. He not only wanted to maintain the status quo, but also expand it, ideally aiming to monopolize the nation's supply of Chinese medicinal herbs.
By then, he would be qualified to protect Qiao Xi. No Chinese medicine practitioner would easily offend the largest medicinal material dealer in the country.
Even the Lu family can no longer be so tough!
He will also contribute his own strength to avenge Grandma Qiao!
Although Huo Xingzhou gave him this opportunity to get him out of the way, Xu Yunye knew that he really needed this chance to prove himself!
Everyone is working hard to move forward, and it's time for him to do something useful.
Sun Weimeng licked the delicious soup on his lips and said, "Is there anything I can do?"
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said, "Just be yourself, that's enough."
"Oh, it seems that I am still suitable to be a second-generation rich kid."
Sun Weimeng said contentedly, "I'm destined to enjoy a life of luxury! I'll leave the hard work to you."
Qiao Xi was amused by him, and the serious atmosphere was swept away.
Young Master Sun plays a very important role!
As they were talking.
A thin figure ran over hurriedly outside the villa and broke into the villa directly.
"Miss...Miss!"
Master Fang leaned against the screen at the entrance, breathing heavily as a group of bodyguards followed him in.
The living room was packed with people.
"Miss! 'Nine Needles of the Plum Blossom'..." Master Fang came running over from a nearby villa. His meticulously groomed hair was now in a mess, and he no longer looked as calm and scholarly as he had at the beginning.
His mouth was dry, and he finally squeezed out a sentence: "I took out the things in there!"
When Qiao Xi heard the noise, she hurried out.
"Master Fang, please speak slower."
Master Fang handed her the item in his hand, his eyes still showing a bit of excitement: "Thank you for fulfilling your mission!"
