Cao Zhiruo had long been utterly disappointed with the Cao family.
I had considered leaving before.
She didn't want to stay in such a cold and indifferent family for even a second longer.
Moreover, Cao's medicines are all profiting from human suffering.
She disdained to associate with them.
She had thought about trying to change things, but only today did she realize that it was all in vain.
Since that's the case, let's cut ties completely.
I don't need to live in constant fear and be tormented by my conscience.
From now on, she will walk her own path, an upright one, and live a life of peace of mind.
Once in the car, Cao Zhiruo wiped away her tears and started looking for a new job on her phone.
At that moment, she suddenly saw a job posting from a university alumnus on her WeChat Moments.
[A Traditional Chinese Medicine charity hospital is hiring. We are currently looking for a female pharmacy specialist to handle pharmaceutical procurement and other related tasks. Interested parties please contact us by phone...]
Upon seeing the message, Cao Zhiruo couldn't wait and immediately dialed the number.
"Hello, who is this?" A pleasant voice came from the phone.
Cao Zhiruo quickly said, "Yingxue, it's me! I'm Cao Zhiruo, the one who interned at the same hospital as you!"
"Oh, it's Zhiruo! My goodness, we haven't been in touch for two or three years. How have you been?"
"I... I'm alright. Oh, by the way, I saw your job posting for a medical specialist on your WeChat Moments. I studied pharmacy. Do you think I... would be a good fit?" Cao Zhiruo asked tentatively.
"Of course!" Su Yingxue said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, you were an outstanding graduate of our year, incredibly capable. I feel at ease entrusting this job to you!"
Cao Zhiruo blushed. "Then, when can I start work?"
Su Yingxue quickly replied, "You can start work anytime! We're a charitable TCM hospital, and we're reopening soon. Our mission is to provide charitable medical care so that ordinary people can afford to see a doctor and get medicine. However, the initial salary might not be very high, you see..."
"A charity hospital?" Cao Zhiruo's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Yingxue, the salary doesn't matter. I also want to do my part for charitable medical care. I want to start working now, is that okay?"
"Sure! Come over now, I'll wait for you at the hospital!"
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Cao Zhiruo's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
She felt as if this was the beginning of her rebirth, and that a bright future awaited her.
"Cao Zhiruo, keep going!"
The car sped off like an arrow towards the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
...
Just as Cao Zhiruo was embarking on a bright future.
Cao Tianwang, however, was trembling with rage in the villa.
"That rebellious daughter of mine is absolutely audacious! I've spoiled her rotten!"
He never expected that his daughter would actually leave without looking back.
Cao Xiaoliang's lips curled up slightly. Cao Zhiruo left well, she left brilliantly!
He was originally worried that his half-sister would stay in the Cao family and compete with him for the family property, but now, she actually left on her own.
He quickly stepped forward and said to Cao Tianwang, "Dad, Cao Zhiruo is gone, after all, she was going to get married sooner or later! But I, her son, will always be with you! After all, I am the only man in the Cao family!"
Cao Tianwang glanced at him. "The only man? You only have one testicle left now, and the other one has been mortgaged. It's hard to say whether we can even use you!"
Cao Xiaoliang's expression froze for a moment; those words were quite hurtful.
However, after thinking for a moment, he quickly said, "Dad, I don't think you need to worry about this. Zhang Bao is just Zhou Xiaotian's subordinate and may not represent Zhou Xiaotian. As for that guy surnamed Lin, he's probably just bluffing. I think he's just like Zhang Bao, a hooligan!"
Cao Tianwang shook his head. "The reason our Cao family has been able to establish itself in Guanzhong is because we are cautious and prudent. We must be wary of this person! If he really is related to Zhou Xiaotian, it could be a disaster for our Cao family. We must find a powerful backer!"
Cao Xiaoliang was taken aback. "Father, what do you mean..."
Cao Tianwang's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he sneered, "Zhou Xiaotian and Lord Xu are now mortal enemies. Since we've offended Zhou Xiaotian's people, we might as well side with the Xu family completely! As far as I know, Lord Xu is currently in contact with the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Once we get their support, Zhou Xiaotian will be nothing but a paper tiger! With the Xu family's resources, once we defeat Zhou Xiaotian, our Cao family will rise in status as well!"
Cao Xiaoliang's eyes gradually brightened, and he nodded in agreement, saying, "Dad, you're right! The Xu family is a hereditary marquisate, what is Zhou Xiaotian anyway? Just a petty thug! Once we become members of the Xu family, that Lin guy might not dare to touch us! We should monopolize the market, raise drug prices, and make as much money as possible! If that Lin guy insists on making trouble for us, then let Marquis Xu kill him!"
Cao Tianwang nodded, "Alright, then I'll make preparations now, prepare plenty of gifts, and later I'll take you to pay a personal visit to Lord Xu!"
It was evening.
Cao Tianwang, accompanied by Cao Xiaoliang, prepared a car full of gifts and set off in a great hurry.
At this time, at the Xu family villa.
In the living room, Li Zhiyuan sat in a wheelchair, cursing loudly at a group of doctors.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Is the medical level in Guanzhong really this bad? Not a single one of you can even help me stand up again! Believe me or not, I'll kill you all!!"
Since returning from that free clinic, Li Zhiyuan's pelvis was fractured by Li Xinxin sitting on it, resulting in a comminuted fracture that damaged his lumbar nerves, causing paralysis and loss of sensation in his lower body.
