Chapter 504: Getting a bargain and still being ungrateful

Huo Xingzhou stood up and left, seemingly heading towards 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 seat, took a look but didn't suspect anything.

The only conflict between Young Master Zhong and Tianyuan Group is one of interests; the Lu family is the Zhong family's most solid partner.

In high society, what relationship could be more solid than a marriage?

When we prosper together, we all prosper; when we suffer together, we all suffer!

Lu Yan sneered and continued watching the game. He didn't believe that under the attack of so many masters, the little bastard from Haicheng could make it to the end!

His uncle Lu Bankong personally served as a judge!

…

Zhong Yi found Huo Xingzhou in the small garden behind the Chinese Medicine Clinic. He frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Huo, is there anything you want to say?"

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him lightly and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhong said that he would take care of the judges, but he didn't tell me that Lu Bannong would be a judge. He used the position of vice president as a gimmick, which shows that their Lu family is determined to win the championship of the needle test conference."

Lu Bannong must help Lu Yingxue to the top!

Zhong Yi had a complicated expression: "The original judge was Wu Yaoshan, the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association. Lu Bannong initially said that he would not serve as a judge. But last night Wu Yaoshan had a car accident and was too frightened and had a heart attack. His serious illness vacated the positions of vice president and judge at the same time, so Lu Bannong was appointed in the face of danger."

It seems like Lu Bannong got an advantage and is being both a boss and an independent person.

He had previously refused to serve as a judge, so he avoided being accused of being partial to Lu Yingxue.

And now, it seems that he was forced to take the charge in times of crisis.

How insidious and cunning!

Zhong Yi suspected that the car accident was also man-made.

Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Chinese medicine evaluation is subjective to a certain extent. If he wants to play tricks, Qiao Xi may not be able to get the first place even with his own ability. We must find someone to replace Lu Bannong. Isn't he accepting the task in a time of crisis for the sake of face? If he wants to save face so much, then find someone who is better than him so that he can't refuse!"

Zhong Yi said solemnly, "Of course I thought of this problem, but all the respected seniors 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. If we want to find a fifth person who can temporarily replace Lu Bannong and convince everyone... it is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

It’s too difficult!

That person must have extremely high reputation.

And it has amazing skills.

And they cannot be from the Lu Bannong faction, and they must not show favoritism!

The idea of ​​traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han came to Zhong Yi's mind, but she quickly rejected it.

Lu Bannong and Cheng Han are not on good terms. Not to mention that Cheng Han cannot be found now. If he is found, Lu Bannong will find ways to make it impossible for him to take up the position.

"Huo Xingzhou, what do you think?"

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were dark, and he said quietly: "The only person who meets all the requirements is Young Master Zhong."

Zhong Yi asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Huang, the heir of the golden needle technique."

Zhong Yi frowned in embarrassment: "Mr. Huang, he has already retired to the mountains. He even put his last set of golden needles up for auction. Why would he come to participate in the Chinese Medicine Festival? Besides, where can we find him?"

The old man must hate such noisy occasions the most.

Huo Xingzhou smiled inexplicably: "As far as I know, the old lady of the Zhong family and Mr. Huang are close friends. Mr. Zhong can go home and ask the old lady if he can invite Mr. Huang to be a judge."

Mr. Huang Bingyi, the inheritor 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 mud.

Later, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han also said that I am far inferior to Mr. Huang in the use of golden needles to remove sores and detoxify.

Zhong Yi raised her eyes and looked at him deeply: "Boss Huo has already made plans. He even knows everything about our Zhong family. But I can't guarantee whether we can invite Mr. Huang."

Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice: "We will do our best and leave the rest to fate. As long as Mr. Huang can be invited, I will give the future projects of Haicheng to Mr. Zhong."

“What a big deal!”

Zhong Yi thought Huo Xingzhou didn't have deep feelings for Qiao Xi, but she didn't expect that a future city project worth hundreds of billions would be given to her just like that!

He also felt sad.

Zhong Yi clenched her hands that were hanging by her 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 is 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 is stable, 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 Master Zhong to be the best man."

Zhong Yi narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at him.

That gaze fell on Huo Xingzhou like a sharp knife.

When men argue, they know when to stop.

Huo Xingzhou's chest rose and fell slowly, and his Adam's apple rolled: "The Lu family is very determined to win the championship, Master Zhong must stabilize Xiang Mingzhu. Don't let her become a stepping stone for the Lu family, otherwise all the previous 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 by herself. 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 is also a good doctor. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Qiao Xi loses?"

"I've thought about it. 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 lay hands on Qiao Xi? What about cutting out her hand tendons and banning her from practicing medicine for the rest of her life!

Dream!

After hearing this, Zhong Yi felt relieved.

Huo Xingzhou's words may be irritating, but he is actually quite reliable in his work.

"I'll leave Mr. Huang's matter to Mr. Zhong. There are three days left after the first round ends. I hope Mr. Huang will be at the Chinese Medicine Clinic when the second round begins."

Zhong Yi said with a resentful tone: "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 crazy 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 father and daughter are very proud, so there will be no problems in the first round!

Huo Xingzhou is better at controlling people's hearts!

He walked towards the Chinese medicine clinic with his long legs. On his way back, he met Xie Xubai, who was sitting by the curved corridor pond feeding fish, looking very leisurely.

The two of them walked away from each other like unrelated strangers, and there was no sign at all 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!
