Chapter 504: Getting the advantage and still acting cute
Huo Xingzhou stood up and left, as if heading to the bathroom.
After a while, Zhong Yi walked away from the other side.
They left in completely different directions. Lu Yan, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the back row, took a look and didn't suspect anything.
The most conflict between Young Master Zhong and Tianyuan Group is one of interests, and their Lu family is the Zhong family's most solid partner.
In high society, what relationship could be more solid than a marriage?
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer!
Lu Yan sneered and continued to watch the game. He didn't believe that the little bitch from Haicheng could make it to the end under the attack of so many masters!
His uncle Lu Bannong personally served as the judge!
…
Zhong Yi found Huo Xingzhou in the small garden behind the Chinese medicine clinic. He frowned slightly and asked, "Boss Huo, is there anything you really want to say?"
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him lightly and said in a low voice, "Young Master Zhong said he would arrange for the judges, but he didn't tell me that Lu Bannong would be a judge. Since he used the position of vice president as a gimmick, it shows that their Lu family is determined to win the championship of the needle-testing competition."
Lu Bannong must help Lu Yingxue get to the top!
Zhong Yi's expression was complicated. "The original judge was Wu Yaoshan, the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association. Lu Bannong initially said he wouldn't serve as a judge. But last night, Wu Yaoshan was in a car accident and was so frightened that he suffered a heart attack. Now that he's seriously ill, both the vice president and judge positions are vacant. Lu Bannong has been appointed to the position."
It seems like Lu Bannong got an advantage and is being ungrateful, being both a hypocrite and a hypocrite.
He had previously refused to serve as a judge, so he avoided being accused of favoritism for Lu Yingxue.
And now, it seems that he was forced to take on the task in this critical moment.
How insidious and cunning!
Zhong Yi suspected that the car accident was also man-made.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Traditional Chinese Medicine evaluations are subjective to a certain extent. If he wants to make things difficult for me, Qiao Xi might not even be able to get first place based on his own abilities. We have to find someone to replace Lu Bannong. Didn't he accept the task out of respect? If he wants to save face so much, then find someone more capable than him so that he can't refuse!"
Zhong Yi's expression was serious. "Of course I've thought about this question, but all the respected veterans in the field of traditional Chinese medicine have already been invited. They are either too old or bedridden, so only the four on the stage can attend. Finding a fifth person who can replace Lu Bannong and convince everyone... is simply impossible!"
It’s too difficult!
That person must have a very high reputation.
And has amazing skills.
And they cannot be from Lu Bannong's faction, and they must not show favoritism!
The idea of traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Cheng Han came to Zhong Yi's mind, but he quickly rejected it.
Lu Bannong and Cheng Han were not on good terms, and even if he found Cheng Han, Lu Bannong would find ways to prevent him from taking up his post.
"Huo Xingzhou, what are your thoughts?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened as he said quietly, "Only Young Master Zhong can invite someone who meets all the requirements."
Zhong Yi asked, "Who is it?"
"Mr. Huang, the heir of the golden needle technique."
Zhong Yi frowned in embarrassment. "Mr. Huang has already retired to the mountains. He even put his last set of gold needles up for auction. Why would he come to the Chinese Medicine Festival? Besides, where can we find him?"
The old man should hate such noisy occasions the most.
Huo Xingzhou smiled inexplicably. "As far as I know, the old man of the Zhong family and Mr. Huang are close friends. Young Master Zhong can go home and ask the old man if he can invite Mr. Huang to be a judge."
Mr. Huang Bingyi, the successor of the golden needle technique, was far more famous than Cheng Han in his time. When he became famous, Lu Bannong didn't even know where to dig in the mud.
Later, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han also said that I am far inferior to Mr. Huang in the use of acupuncture to remove sores and detoxify.
Zhong Yi raised his eyes and looked at him deeply: "Boss Huo has already made plans. He even knows everything about our Zhong family. But whether we can invite Mr. Huang, I can't guarantee it."
Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice, "We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. As long as we can invite Mr. Huang, I'll give the future projects of Haicheng to Young Master Zhong."
“What a generous gesture!”
Zhong Yi thought Huo Xingzhou didn't have deep feelings for Qiao Xi, but she didn't expect that a future city project worth tens of billions would be given to her just like that!
He also felt a pang of sourness in his heart.
Zhong Yi clenched his hands, which were hanging by his side, and said, "You don't have to send me off. If there's a chance, I want Qiao Xi to thank me in person and treat me to a meal alone."
Huo Xingzhou said without any emotion: "I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity."
"Boss Huo, that day will come."
Zhong Yi firmly believed, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. When the situation in the imperial capital stabilizes, I will not always be just Zhong Yi in front of her."
Huo Xingzhou said slowly, "Then when we hold the wedding ceremony, we will definitely ask Young Master Zhong to be the best man."
Zhong Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him.
That gaze fell on Huo Xingzhou like a sharp knife.
When men argue, they should stop when it’s enough.
Huo Xingzhou's chest rose and fell slowly, his Adam's apple rolling. "The Lu family is very determined to win the championship. Young Master Zhong must keep Xiang Mingzhu in check. Don't let her become a stepping stone for the Lu family, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."
"I know. But if Xiang Mingzhu isn't there, there might be someone else. You can't guard against it... Qiao Xi should fight this battle alone. We can only make other preparations."
"That's enough."
Huo Xingzhou's voice was tender and gentle, "She is a very resilient girl."
Seeing him so calm, Zhong Yi asked unhappily, "What if she loses? Lu Yingxue's medical skills are not bad either. Haven't you thought about what would happen if Qiao Xi lost?"
"I've thought about it, so don't worry about it, Master Zhong. But I heard that Master Zhong gave Miss Lu a set of Mr. Huang's golden needles. You should think of an excuse to get away with it."
How could Huo Xingzhou allow those people to attack Qiao Xi? He would cut out the tendons of her hands and ban her from practicing medicine for the rest of her life!
dream!
When Zhong Yi heard this, he felt relieved.
Huo Xingzhou's words may be irritating, but he is indeed reliable in his work.
"I'll leave Mr. Huang's matter to Master Zhong. There are three days until the end of the first round. I hope Mr. Huang will be at the Chinese medicine clinic by the time the second round begins."
Zhong Yi's tone was filled with resentment: "Don't worry about the golden needle. You should pray that Qiao Xi can get through the first round safely. If the Lu family father and daughter are so cruel that they eliminate her in the first round, she will be completely finished!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and his back looked a little unhappy.
The corners of Huo Xingzhou's mouth slowly rose. He lowered his head slightly, rolled up his light gray long sleeves, and looked at the time on his watch.
The Lu family's father and daughter are very concerned about their reputation, so there will be no problems in the first round!
When it comes to manipulating people's hearts, Huo Xingzhou is even better!
He walked towards the Chinese medicine clinic with his long legs. On the way back, he met Xie Xubai, who was sitting by the curved corridor pond feeding fish, looking very leisurely.
The two of them passed each other and left, like unrelated strangers, and there was no sign that they were friends who had already had several meals together in Haicheng.
The moment Huo Xingzhou walked into the Chinese medicine clinic.
The ancient and heavy bell in the Chinese medicine clinic rang three times.
First round.
it's over!
