Chapter 455 Ruthless Male Lead 14 "Dr. Xiao Zi's medical skills are so superb that she can even cure Grandpa's stubborn illness with ease. She must also have unique insights into biopharmaceuticals, right?"
"Why don't you give us some pointers, so that the experts that the group hires at high salaries can broaden their horizons?"
Yun Yifei deliberately steered the conversation toward Zi Xi, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm.
The table fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on Zi Xi.
Father Yun frowned slightly, Mother Yun looked worried, and Yun Pengju glared at Yun Yifei with some dissatisfaction.
Zi Xi put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and moved with elegance and composure.
She looked up at Yun Yifei with a calm and unwavering gaze, as if she hadn't noticed the sarcasm in his words.
"Young Master Yun, you flatter me. Although medicine and pharmaceuticals have some similarities, they belong to different fields."
"However, it just so happens that when I was browsing through my grandfather's collection of books, I came across some scattered ancient records about traditional bioactive extraction methods and meridian-guided targeted drugs, which are quite similar to some of the bottlenecks in modern drug development."
Zi Xi's voice was clear and melodious, neither hurried nor slow.
Her words were clear, logical, and coherent. The theories and methods she mentioned were unheard of, yet they subtly pointed to the core of the problem.
Among those present were people knowledgeable in the relevant fields. Upon hearing this, they were initially taken aback, but then fell into deep thought, increasingly feeling that it contained a groundbreaking idea.
Yun Yifei's sarcastic expression froze.
He couldn't understand a word, but seeing the gradually brightening eyes of the people around him, especially Yun's father, he knew that not only had he not embarrassed her, but he had actually made her look good.
Anyone can talk the talk but not walk the walk.
Yun Yifei forced himself to maintain his composure and retorted stiffly.
"Young Master Yun is right."
"However, if Young Master Yun is interested, I can try to prepare a simplified version of the medicine sample based on the ideas in the ancient books, which may be able to directly verify some of its effects."
Zi Xi smiled faintly, a hint of pity in her smile.
With a single, understated sentence, he directly silenced Yun Yifei's doubts.
Let the facts speak for themselves, how can he possibly refute them?
In this confrontation, Zi Xi completely overwhelmed the opponent with her knowledge.
This incident further enhanced her standing in the eyes of the Yun family; she was no longer just a highly skilled doctor, but a potential treasure with unexpected value.
Yun Yifei, on the other hand, appeared narrow-minded and ignorant.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Chenli, a thousand miles away, grew increasingly gloomy.
The commercial killings only brought temporary numbness and could not fill the emptiness in his heart.
On a stormy night, a night strikingly similar to the night I fell off a cliff in my memory, the pent-up despair finally erupted.
He left no suicide note, but calmly swallowed the prepared, lethal mixture of drugs.
Then he lay down on that cold bed and closed his eyes.
Fortunately, Mr. Qin's surveillance of him worked.
The bodyguards noticed something was wrong and broke down the door, immediately taking him to the best private hospital for gastric lavage.
Outside the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to drip water.
Old Master Qin seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his hand trembling slightly as he leaned on his cane.
Zhong Xi was urgently summoned to the hospital.
When she saw Shen Li lying in the ward amidst countless sophisticated instruments, his face as pale as paper, his life barely sustained by the extracorporeal circulation system.
The memory of being tortured by him in her past life and dying tragically overlapped with the scene before her eyes, and the immense fear made her legs go weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.
He really didn't want to live anymore!
Following a master who is so eager to die, she won't be able to make any money; she'll probably be dragged down with him to his grave at any moment!
She had to escape!
