Fang Ziyang was sitting in Li Xiao's car.
Ever since Shi Meijing got on the car, he hasn't said a word, let alone smiled. He just put on headphones and closed his eyes to rest.
His expressionless look keeps people away.
Shi Meijing didn't know what his personality was like before, so she didn't have too many thoughts about it. She just thought he was the kind of rich second-generation who looked down on ordinary people. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart all the way.
But Li Xiao and Wei Yue are different.
They knew Fang Ziyang before and knew that he was actually very kind and usually not cold to others. He could be a rich young master, or he could be like an ordinary citizen and go to the food stalls with them for supper and beer. In short, he had a very good temper.
But now Fang Ziyang's attitude towards Shi Meijing is obviously more than just dislike. His cold look makes people feel a little scared for some reason.
Li Xiao didn't know why this happened.
Shi Meijing is Shi Liangchen's biological sister. He also wants to introduce Liangchen to Zi Yang. By then, Liangchen will have connections to sell software, and he won't have to waste time any more and can go back to school.
After all, they are from the same hometown and grew up together. Shi Liangchen is also a good person. How can he just stand by and do nothing to help?
It's not like he hadn't thought about asking his elder brother for help before, but unfortunately the circle his elder brother knew was too high-class, and the program his elder brother made wasn't up to the standards of those big bosses, so there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to help.
But Fang Ziyang is different.
When they met during tutoring, he could tell from Fang Ziyang's tone that Fang Ziyang wanted to get to know some young people with good computer skills, to scout for talent early and to build a team for setting up a company after graduation.
So Li Xiao thought that he could take this opportunity to help Shi Liangchen make some connections.
But now looking at Fang Ziyang's attitude towards Shi Meijing...
Li Xiao was a little worried about whether things could go smoothly. Looking at this, could it be that the Shi family had offended Zi Yang in some way in the past?
With a nervous mood.
The car drove on the highway, through the tunnel, and drove on the bumpy dirt road for a long time. About three hours later, they finally arrived at Li Xiao's hometown, Baixing Village.
Baixing Village is relatively remote, but remoteness has its advantages, with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
However, although Baixing Village is remote, it is actually not too poor. With the support of national policies, the villagers have income from growing fruit trees, and every household can actually live a decent life. Many houses in the village are well built.
Li Xiao's family is one of the better-off families in the village.
Although the family did not have a car, because his uncle was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, in order to let the elderly live comfortably at home and have something to do to pass the time, the house was renovated very well.
It is a three-story building. People live on the second and third floors, while the first floor is specially decorated as a small clinic so that the elderly have something to do at home and won’t be too lonely.
When Li Xiao brought Fang Ziyang home, his uncle was not there as he had gone up the mountain to take care of his precious medicinal fields. Only his grandparents were there.
Li Xiao's grandparents had heard that their grandson's friends were coming to visit their home, so they entertained them warmly, bringing them water and candies, treating Fang Ziyang like a child.
Without Shi Meijing, Fang Ziyang returned to his usual friendly self and greeted the old man with a smile.
After Wei Yue and the two elders went to the kitchen to prepare meat and vegetables to prepare dinner to entertain their grandson's friends.
Li Xiao looked at Fang Ziyang and then hesitantly asked about what happened in the car.
"Zi Yang, um, did you know Shi Meijing before?"
Fang Ziyang did not answer immediately.
Instead, he was silent for a long time before nodding, "Yes. And I still have some grudges with the Shi family..."
His behavior today was too obvious. Instead of finding other excuses to make excuses, it would be better to point it out to Li Xiao directly to avoid affecting the friendship between him and Li Xiao.
Li Xiao obviously didn't expect him to explain it this way, and put it so directly and clearly.
Fang Ziyang actually had a grudge with the Shi family, but this... I couldn't believe it. How could the Shi family be related to Fang Ziyang, and it seemed like their relationship was not very good? I had never heard of this before.
However, Fang Ziyang's attitude did not seem to be nonsense. When Fang Ziyang saw Shi Meijing's uncontrollable coldness, it did not seem to be fake.
This put Li Xiao in a very difficult position.
Since Fang Ziyang has a grudge with the Shi family, and it seems to be quite serious, then the program software he mentioned before is definitely out of the question. It's such a pity to waste such a good opportunity.
But just when he was disappointed.
Fang Ziyang took out a checkbook from his backpack, wrote a check and handed it to him.
"Here's five million. Give it to Shi Liangchen. Don't tell him about me. Just say someone wants to buy his program development rights... I don't want to have any contact with their family anymore, and I don't want them to know about my existence. This check will settle everything."
His feelings towards Shi Liangchen were too complicated.
He hated Shi Liangchen, but Shi Liangchen saved his life. The feud between them ended in the previous life. In this life, he would not take revenge on him.
The reason why Shi Liangchen became Yan Tong's man and came to deceive him was ultimately because of his sister's surgery fee.
Didn’t Shi Liangchen say that if there was a choice, perhaps everything would be different?
Well, now he trusts the other party again.
He gave Shi Liangchen this choice.
"Li Xiao, I hope you won't tell anyone about this, especially your eldest brother, okay?"
If Secretary Li knew about this, it would mean that Xie Zheng and his brother knew about it. Then they would definitely investigate why he did this and what grudge he had with the Shi family, causing a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Li Xiao didn't know what Fang Ziyang was thinking, but since Fang Ziyang had said so much, he didn't dare to ask any further.
"Okay, I understand."
He nodded.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When will your uncle come back? Before he comes back, tell me more about your uncle and his apprentice Mingbai. I will have something to talk to them about when we meet later, right? I am hoping to invite your uncle to come out of retirement..."
Without dwelling on those troubles for too long, after handing the check to Li Xiao, Fang Ziyang began to care about Uncle Li and Ming Bai.
These two are the key to the launch of Dongsheng Pharmaceutical's new products.
Li Xiao had also heard Fang Ziyang talk about why he was so interested in his uncle and senior brother. He knew that he wanted to invest in a pharmaceutical company and that the R&D team was in need of people who could make a big splash, so he had set his sights on his uncle and senior brother.
Although I was a little shocked by the world of rich people, and started throwing money around and playing investment games when I was a teenager...but this is a good thing.
He didn't know whether Fang Ziyang had strong investment skills, but he knew that Fang Ziyang's biological brother was Tang Xun, and Tang Xun had a good relationship with Xie Zheng, who was the head of the Xie family. With these two big guys, Xie Zheng and Tang Xun, watching over him, it would be difficult for Fang Ziyang to lose money!
His uncle is old and it doesn’t matter whether he has a job or not, but his brother Ming is still young and needs this kind of opportunity.
So Li Xiao was very happy with Fang Ziyang's idea and was willing to work hard to make it happen.
According to Li Xiao's narration.
Fang Ziyang has a deeper understanding of Uncle Li and Mingbai.
Uncle Li’s life has been mentioned before, and it was full of ups and downs.
The Li family had an imperial physician in their ancestor's family. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Imperial Physician Li naturally became a commoner. However, with his superb medical skills, he quickly gained a foothold among the people, built up a family business, and opened a respected medical clinic, which brought blessings to his descendants.
However, the wealthy Li family suffered from the crackdown on landlords when the country was founded. In the turbulent times that followed, the Li family, who had a bad background to begin with, became the ninth family in the cowshed because of their practice of traditional Chinese medicine, and their lives became as difficult as could be.
Uncle Li grew up in this kind of environment, so he is very timid. He was scared when he was treated as a stinking ninth and he is very repulsive to the outside world.
It is also because of this character that Uncle Li never got married in his entire life and just immersed himself in studying herbs to entertain himself.
Later, they picked up a child, Mingbai, and thought about passing on their ancestral medical skills to their ancestors...
Mingbai lived up to his uncle's expectations and had a great talent in medicine. He was a little miracle doctor praised by everyone in his hometown.
However, Mingbai did not perform well in the college entrance examination, so he did not get into the medical school he wanted to go to. Until now, he can only attend night school and then take the Chinese medicine license exam. After all, as a young man, it is impossible for him to stay in the countryside like Uncle Li.
"…That's about it. I'm afraid it's hard to persuade my uncle. He's always worried that he'll be arrested and put in the cowshed again one day, so he doesn't want to leave the village. My brother Ming is easier to deal with. He has always wanted to work in a big hospital, but he doesn't have enough education. He learned medical skills from my uncle privately, so if he wants to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, he has to slowly take the license exam."
Li Xiao was also helpless.
Brother Shuita Ming didn’t have enough scores in other subjects, so he failed to get into the medical school he wanted to go to in the college entrance examination and could only go to an ordinary university.
After graduation, Ming Ge still wanted to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, and has been wasting time until now preparing for the license exam.
Fang Ziyang nodded.
This was pretty much the same as what he knew in his previous life.
Don't listen to what Li Xiao said. It may sound like Mingbai is a poor student, but in fact Mingbai's talent in traditional Chinese medicine is absolutely amazing. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a genius.
After all, there are essential differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
And the most important thing is that the medical skills passed down by the Li family are not some wild methods, but the ones passed down by the imperial doctors of the past.
Although the prescriptions in his golden finger are interstellar products and are named as various nutrient solutions and nutritional medicines, in fact they are all evolved from traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology. That's why he called it a prescription.
If you want to use these prescriptions, you must find someone who is proficient in Chinese medicine.
Because some of the medicinal ingredients in the prescription need to be replaced, the subsequent prescriptions will require help from talented people.
I got to know Uncle Li and Mingbai again with Li Xiao.
Not long after, the Li family's dinner was ready, and Uncle Li, who had gone out to tend to his precious medicinal field in the afternoon, came back with his apprentice and adopted son Mingbai.
Uncle Li is a skinny old man.
Mingbai is a spirited young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. His facial features are not as outstanding as those of Xie Zheng and Tang Xun, but he also has a good-looking appearance with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a very upright and sunny character.
Seeing Fang Ziyang, Mingbai was very excited and happy.
"Hello, I'm Mingbai, you are Fang Ziyang, right? Li Xiao has told me, I promise! You can test me in any way you want, as long as it's about Chinese medicine, I have no problem with it!"
Mingbai was also really sad when he spoke of it.
When he was a child, he learned Chinese medicine from Uncle Li. He learned to identify medicinal materials and memorize prescriptions so quickly that his family said he was a genius! He was also quite proud of himself, and secretly wondered if he was really the God of Literature who had descended to earth.
It was only after he went to school that he realized what cruel reality was.
It was obvious that he had a good memory and comprehension ability, and he thought he had learned what the teacher said. However, after the test, he was devastated by his poor results.
It’s not that his grades are really that bad, they’re just at the level of an average student. But compared with his genius performance in studying medicine, the gap is really big.
But today's society is different from before. You can't become a doctor just because you say you have good medical skills.
Without academic qualifications and business license, no matter how good your medical skills are, you are practicing medicine illegally! Except for the neighbors and fellow villagers who believe in him, if he doesn’t have a certificate issued by the state, he is just a charlatan!
No matter what Uncle Li said, they were the orthodox descendants of imperial physicians. It would be in vain if they could not get into medical school or obtain a Chinese medicine license.
And after passing the licensing exam, he still has to find connections and relationships before he can find a job in the hospital!
In a word.
In modern society, without a diploma, even Hua Tuo would have a hard time getting by.
Fang Ziyang naturally understood Mingbai's predicament.
He actually doesn’t care too much about the other party’s current level of Chinese medicine. Mingbai has potential anyway. Moreover, even if it takes several years for Mingbai to play a role, he is not afraid to waste some salary to win him over first.
This will prevent Yan Tong from snatching his talent away again.
So Fang Ziyang didn't make it too difficult. He just handed over a prescription that he had prepared earlier and said with a smile,
"I don't have too many requests. As long as you can perfectly replace all the herbs that cannot be found in my prescription with all the herbs currently available, then from now on, Brother Mingbai, you will be the backbone R&D staff of our company."
He doesn't need to say much about the salary and benefits of key R&D personnel in large companies. Everyone knows that it won't be too low.
Mingbai was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, "Really?"
He has done a lot of work in finding alternative medicinal materials for prescriptions. After all, the current environment is not good, and many medicinal materials in the prescriptions passed down from Li's ancestors are either no longer available or too expensive. It is normal to find other substitutes.
Over the years, he and Uncle Li have done a lot of research on the substitution of ancient prescriptions and are very familiar with this kind of thing.
"Really? But Brother Mingbai, don't be too happy too soon. My prescription is not easy to make." Fang Ziyang reminded.
"It's okay. If it's not difficult, I won't feel comfortable even if you ask me to work. I will try my best..."
Mingbai was very happy and not afraid of the difficulty at all. On the contrary, the more difficult it was, the more he liked it. He liked studying medical theories.
Mingbai is easy to solve.
But Uncle Li is in a difficult situation.
Not to mention giving Fang Ziyang a chance to persuade him, even meeting him would be difficult.
Uncle Li was most afraid of meeting strangers. When he saw a young man he didn't know coming to his house, even though Li Xiao had greeted him in advance, his fear of meeting people flared up on the spot.
Fang Ziyang was not given any chance to step forward and speak. The old man acted like a frightened rabbit when he saw him.
He put the things in his hands on the table, and without saying a word, he ran upstairs quickly, as fast as a tornado...
I’m so scared, so scared, it’s so terrible!
One can easily tell this sentence from the old man's tornado-like back.
Fang Ziyang: ...
It seems that the situation is a little beyond his imagination.
Li Xiao shrugged awkwardly, "Look, you'd better give up on my uncle. He has had this problem for most of his life and he can't get rid of it. He's like this when he sees a stranger, let alone when he leaves his hometown."
Mingbai nodded helplessly. If his adoptive father could go out, he would not have delayed until now.
"Your uncle is indeed your uncle..."
Fang Ziyang laughed dryly.
But even so, he won't give up easily.
In his previous life, Yan Tong’s IQ was enough to trick Uncle Li Xiao out of the mountain, so there’s no reason why he can’t do it, right? After all, he was once a lucky protagonist.
It doesn’t matter. Uncle Li is afraid of him now because they are not familiar with him. We'll be able to talk to him after he stays for a few days.
Fang Ziyang is still very confident in his perseverance.
Anyway, the summer vacation is still a month away and he has plenty of free time.
That evening.
Fang Ziyang called Tang Xun who was far away in Beijing to report his itinerary, and also reminded Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu in Jiang City about the matters concerning Dongsheng Pharmaceutical.
I planned to live permanently at Li Xiao's house.
…
As for Shi Liangchen, the check was given to Li Xiao, and Fang Ziyang deliberately stopped asking about it.
If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to recall those unbearable memories at all.
Li Xiao didn't want to get too involved in his private affairs, so he didn't ask any further questions. The next day after he got the check, he went to Shi's house and gave the check to Shi Liangchen on the pretext that someone had bought a program.
Five million is not a lot.
But it is definitely enough for Shi Meijing's surgery.
Shi Liangchen was very happy when he received the check, and immediately asked Li Xiao who the boss was from whom he bought the program, so that he could help with the development for free.
However, Li Xiao naturally would not say it out loud after being reminded, and just made up an excuse that his boss was not convenient to show up.
In order to prevent Shi Liangchen from becoming suspicious, Li Xiao also said that the boss was willing to spend a high price of 5 million to buy it, mainly because of the special situation that he wanted to perform surgery on his sister.
After all, with Shi Liangchen's current level, it is impossible for him to sell a single-product program for five million.
This reason really dispelled Shi Liangchen's doubts and made him believe Li Xiao's excuse.
Although it's a pity, overall I'm very happy that I've solved my sister's surgery expenses.
He told his sister about the check that night.
Shi Meijing was very happy to know that her surgery was done, but she was still a little dissatisfied.
"Although 5 million is enough for the surgery, the matching bone marrow has not been found yet. It is not easy to get the right bone marrow just by having money..."
The subtext is why does the boss want to help but not help to the end?
Outsiders think that Shi Meijing is a warm, cheerful and generous girl, but in fact only her family knows that Shi Meijing actually has a very delicate temper. This is all because she has poor health and has been spoiled at home since she was young.
Shi Liangchen's face immediately darkened when he understood the subtext of his sister's expression.
He knew that his sister had a spoiled temper and was not very sensible, but he did not expect that his sister would have such an idea of repaying a favor with a grudge.
"Meijing, how can you have such thoughts? It's already very good that they can pay a high price to buy brother's program. They are not any of us. Brother Bone Marrow will definitely help you find it. Don't think like this again in the future."
"Brother, what did I think? I just said something casually. Why are you so mean to me? You promised mom and dad that you would take good care of me, but this is what you did?"
Shi Meijing was very unhappy about being scolded by her brother.
She is already 18 years old, but she still has to be taught a lesson by her elder brother like when she was a child. Besides, she didn't say anything wrong. Is it necessary to fight against the monsters like this just for a random complaint?
"If big brother hates me, just kick me out and ignore me. Anyway, I'm not your biological sister. I'm just a disaster. I killed my biological parents and my brother's parents. I also got such a serious disease that I want you to find a way to make money. I know you don't want to care about me at all, so just leave me alone..."
Shi Meijing was a little angry and couldn't help but started crying and complaining again.
Although she and Shi Liangchen are siblings, they are not biological children.
Her biological parents were originally friends with Shi Liangchen's parents. However, they were in a car accident while traveling together. Her parents died in order to save her and Shi Liangchen, so Shi's parents adopted her.
Therefore, Shi's father and mother loved her better than their own son, and before they died, they repeatedly told their son to take good care of his sister.
Shi Liangchen did as he was told and took good care of his sister after his parents died. When he found out that his sister was seriously ill, he tried every means to make money to prepare for the surgery.
However, although he loved his sister, he still had many opinions and sighs about Shi Meijing's personality as she was spoiled by her parents.
My younger sister is the type of person who is not destined to be a princess, but has princess syndrome.
Shi Liangchen couldn't bear to see his sister cry, but he couldn't indulge her incorrect thoughts, so he could only slow down his tone and persuade her again.
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, but some of your ideas are wrong. I was anxious and my tone was a little harsh, but you have to understand that I am doing this for your own good. If you continue like this, you will easily offend people when you go out..."
"If you don't listen to what I say, I will cut your monthly living expenses in half from now on."
Shi Meijing couldn't hear what was said before, but when she heard that the living expenses were cut in half, she immediately woke up and became anxious.
How much is her living expenses per month? If it is halved, it will only be enough for her to eat, and buying clothes and shoes will be just a dream.
Although she didn't think she was wrong, she had to accept her fate.
Reluctantly, "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I will change. I'm just anxious. If I can't find a suitable bone marrow within three years, the doctor said I will die..."
"No, big brother will try hard. We have money now, and matching bone marrow should be found soon."
Shi Liangchen shook his head, his tone firm and comforting.
"I hope so."
Shi Meijing was a little worried. This concerned her own life, and she would have no peace of mind until it was confirmed.
But big brother loves her so much, he will definitely save her no matter what.
Thinking of this, Shi Meijing felt better.
Just at this moment.
There was a knock on their door.
The brother and sister stopped talking and went to open the door together.
“You are…”
Shi Liangchen looked at the two young men in front of him, who were dressed in unusual clothes, with some confusion and vigilance.
