Chapter 748 I’ll make you the president!
The slap silenced everyone.
The employees didn't dare to look, but they were curious.
Lu Yingxue covered her cheeks, in disbelief. She had clearly done everything well, so why was she being beaten for no reason?
Lu Bannong held onto the medicine cabinet, coughed a few times, and said, "All of you go down!"
"yes!"
"Hurry up and go! Hurry up and go!"
Lu Bannong was usually very good-tempered and always smiling. But this was the first time he lost his temper regardless of the situation and even hit Lu Yingxue.
It's really abnormal!
No matter how much those people wanted to know the gossip, they didn't dare to stay.
Everyone walked very fast.
Soon, the father and daughter were left alone in the lobby of over a thousand square meters.
Lu Yingxue rarely felt any dissatisfaction towards Lu Bannong.
"Father, how could you hit me in front of so many people? Do you know how much of a rip it would have on me if this got out? The free clinic has already concluded successfully, and I'm about to participate in a Chinese-Western exchange program as a representative. They even hinted at my potential to become a candidate for National Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine next year. What exactly is your displeasure with me?"
Lu Bannong's face was pale, but his eyes were full of anger.
"Fifty million! Ten tons of medicinal herbs! You're really capable of sending Lu Yan to jail. Lu Yingxue, you've given up everything for your reputation!"
Lu Yingxue took a deep breath. "I don't think I did anything wrong! I have to get the herbs. Father also said that our reputation is very important in this business. Now, even Father's reputation can't surpass mine."
She even felt that if she revealed her intention to become the president of the Chinese Medicine Association now, the directors would agree.
Lu Bannong sneered, "Do you think I'm jealous of my daughter because she has a better reputation than me? Are you afraid that you'll replace me?"
Lu Yingxue didn't answer, but judging by her expression, she thought so.
"idiot!"
Lu Bannong felt his blood pressure rising rapidly!
She is still stubborn now!
"Father, no matter what I do, you won't approve of me! Is it because I'm an illegitimate daughter?"
This secret had been hidden in Lu Yingxue's heart for a long time, and finally broke out today!
Lu Bannong's expression turned stern: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that?" His eyes were wide open, looking particularly scary.
Lu Yingxue bit her lip and said, "I heard it when my aunt was chatting with you last time. She said I was an illegitimate daughter, and you didn't deny it. My mother is not the eldest daughter of the He family at all. No wonder you never let me go to worship her! Who is my mother?"
Lu Bannong's face was gloomy. "This question is meaningless. No matter who gave birth to you, you are my biological daughter."
"This means something to me! I don't even know who my own mother is!"
Lu Yingxue rarely had such a big argument with Lu Bannong.
Bang!
Lu Bannong slapped her again, "I told you it's not necessary! Unless you want to expose your illegitimate daughter's identity at this critical juncture.
Lu Yingxue, clear your mind. You should not be thinking about your own life experience, but where the medicinal materials for our Chinese medicine clinic will come from in the future!
Lu Yingxue frowned.
"If Zhao Chang is finished, who among all the Chinese medicinal materials merchants in the country would not curry favor with us?"
Lu Yingxue had never considered this question. She naturally thought that she had dealt with the current predicament and could find medicinal materials anywhere. If Zhao Chang was missing, there were still Li Chang, Liu Chang and others...
"Stupid! All the big plantations are controlled by people from Haicheng. I've made countless calls, but no one wants to continue cooperating with our Lu family! Only a few small factories can provide limited medicinal materials, and there's no way to get precious medicinal materials!"
Lu Bannong was so angry that he came down and slapped Lu Yingxue.
Blame her for not leaving any room for maneuver!
Lu Yingxue was shocked: "How could this happen? They..."
Lu Bannong's face turned pale. "They've been planning this since the Qian family's medicinal herb factory! Zhong Yi and Huo Xingzhou teamed up to shut down the Qian family's medicinal herb factory, and Qiao Xi's second brother, using the Liu family's power, gradually took over plantations across the country. The final step was to defeat Zhao Chang!"
Completely strangled the Lu family's lifeline!
Half of the energy and spirit between Lu Bannong's eyebrows had disappeared.
When Lu Yingxue heard these words, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She opened her mouth slightly, unable to calm down.
"If... they already control the source of medicinal materials, then won't we all be begging them for help from now on?" Lu Yingxue's face was filled with disbelief. "They can give us whatever price they want. Unless we close our Chinese medicine clinic..."
Which Chinese medicine clinic doesn’t have medicinal herbs?
Lu Bannong rubbed his swollen temples and said, "I'll contact other herbal medicine vendors. How many herbs are left in the warehouse?"
Lu Yingxue's expression was solemn. "I bought ten tons today, and I still have about half left. Starting tomorrow, I won't use too much, so it should be enough for a few days. I'll also ask Zhong Lingxiao for help in the next few days. He has a lot of connections, and I don't believe all the plantations are under their control!"
Lu Bannong had a cold face and coughed a few times.
His tone softened a bit. "The higher-ups asked you to communicate, so do it. I'm tired of vying for power all my life, so I'll soon propose that you become president of the Chinese Medicine Association."
It would only benefit them if such a young president came from the Lu family.
Lu Bannong wanted to take advantage of Lu Yingxue's fame and support her to take the top position.
This is the best opportunity!
The online heat will wane.
"real?"
A look of joy appeared on Lu Yingxue's face.
"You are a member of the Lu family, and your words and actions represent the Lu family. The monthly meeting is about to begin, and I will make you the president."
Lu Bannong felt weak and exhausted. He realized that he was really old and could only stay in the rear.
"Yes! Father, I will definitely not let you down!"
President of the Chinese Medicine Association!
Whenever Lu Yingxue thought about it, her heart felt hot.
Lu Bannong said with a hint of warning, "Don't pursue the question of who your mother is. Focus on revitalizing the Lu family. It's also good to remain single for life. Focus on your career, but try to have a child of Lu family blood. Raise him outside and take him in as your apprentice to inherit the Lu family."
"Yes! Dad, please take good care of yourself."
"I'm old. I've worked hard for decades, but I'm getting worse day by day." Lu Bannong seemed to have aged a dozen years after this, and his hair had turned a little gray.
…
the next day.
Qiao Xi looked at the rave reviews of Lu Yingxue online and also revealed that she represented the country in an exchange mission.
There was no ripple in her heart, and every step the Huo family took was solid.
Early in the morning, she went up to the third floor with a needle bag.
Prepare to give acupuncture to Cheng Han and Cheng Qingnian.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the white-haired old man on the bed had opened his eyes and was half leaning against the headboard, preparing to put on his shoes.
Qiao Xi shouted in surprise: "Grandpa Cheng, you're awake!"
