Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

Uncle Bai smiled awkwardly.

"I won't mention it. I thought we could have dinner together because we were classmates. As long as we show our sincerity and add your uncle's rich experience in Chinese medicine, we will definitely be able to get cooperation with their company."

Bai Qiurui's maternal grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine family, but during the war, a large number of medical books were lost. Now, only a few dozen books on medicinal materials are left to his mother and uncle, and all the books on traditional Chinese medicine are lost. It is said that there was a medical book personally compiled by his ancestor Gong Tingyu, but unfortunately its whereabouts are unknown.

By his generation, the fact that his ancestors were from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners had become a legend. He only read a few miscellaneous books when he was a child, and his grandmother would teach him about Chinese medicine in the books. He never thought that he would one day engage in a business related to traditional Chinese medicine.

I heard that my uncle almost applied for a Chinese Medical University when he was in school. However, he was unlucky and was accused of practicing medicine illegally. He kindly helped a neighbor's child to reduce fever, but was reported for spreading feudal superstition and almost faced imprisonment. It was my grandfather who stepped in to help him and the matter was over. My uncle lost the opportunity to go to university and stayed at home reading books all day until the reform and opening up, when he went into business.

Yang Gengming suddenly spoke up: "I have met Qiu Rui's old classmate."

Uncle Bai was quick to detect the hidden meaning in his words.

"When?"

"Tong Ren Tang. This girl often goes to Tong Ren Tang to buy medicinal materials. She also bought Angong Niuhuang Pills."

Bai Qiurui was nervous: "Why did she buy Angong Niuhuang Pills?"

Yang Gengming glanced at his nephew.

"She might have bought it for someone else. My master thought she was from the same industry, so he specifically told her not to take any of the homemade medicines. Later, she only bought herbs occasionally. She has been to several Chinese medicine stores that I know of."

Bai Qiurui looked at her uncle and said, "Teacher Song majored in pharmacy in college. She might have bought the medicine to study on her own. She has a strong learning ability."

Yang Gengming was surprised and asked, "Isn't this girl a Chinese medicine practitioner? I remember she was Lao Wei's student. Lao Wei took her to see patients at the Chinese Medicine Hospital before."

Bai Qiurui was stunned after hearing this.

"Is it possible that a person would attend two colleges at the same time?"

Uncle Bai understood: "Others may not be able to do this, but it's not surprising that your old classmate, who is the top scorer in the college entrance examination, studies two majors at the same time."

Bai Qiurui then realized how ridiculous and childish his pursuit was. He thought that he was more than worthy of her because of his strong family background, but he didn't want to give up her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. She studied two majors at the same time and was able to take care of the company's product research and development. Now she has become his partner who is eager to please. In contrast, he is a useless waste.

Although the Ji family is gradually retreating and will no longer interfere in any upper-level decision-making in the future, the younger generations in the family are better than each other, and her husband is the youngest professor in the country.

Grandpa is old and can't see the situation clearly. The Bai family has fallen into a state of being attacked from all sides. If they want to retire, they can only find a way out in business.

Yang Gengming said with regret: "It's a pity that she is the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. It's too early for such a young girl to get married."

Uncle Bai speculated maliciously: "Maybe the Ji family still has ambitions, so they found a powerful daughter-in-law. There will always be a day when they can make a comeback."

Bai Qiurui spoke well of the Ji family for the first time.

"They got married in high school, and I believe they truly love each other." He had pursued her, so he understood better that Song Shixia was not that kind of person.

Uncle Bai disdains true love, and only his nephew believes in love.

"You are still too young. Marriages between children from families like ours are based on interests. How can there be love?"

Bai Qiurui subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he thought of his wife and son who were separated from him.

Uncle Bai sneered at his naivety: "Two years ago, your family asked you to marry Ge Qing, which was not your wish. But was your objection useful? When the Ge family got into trouble, your parents made a clear break with them and didn't even want their grandchildren. Do you still think you can get married just for love?"

Bai Qiurui defended himself,

"The two are different. I am a man. Since I made the mistake, I must be responsible for it." He didn't like Ge Qing, but Ge Qing was pregnant with his child. If he didn't take responsibility, he would be criticized.

Uncle Bai put his arm around Yang Gengming.

"Look how naive your nephew is. Even without Ge Qing, there are still Wang Qing and Sun Qing. It's because the whole family has conditioned him that he can't see the situation clearly."

Bai Qiurui carefully recalled the pain and suffering he had endured in the past year. He had no feelings for his wife and children. After marriage, the couple lived apart and never had sex.

Since the fall of the Ge family, his father-in-law, Principal Ge, was sentenced to ten years, and his mother-in-law was sentenced to three years. Ge Qing moved to another province with her brother and sister-in-law. He and Ge Qing did not even hold a wedding, but only obtained a marriage certificate so that the child could be born smoothly.

Although he didn't like Ge Qing, he was more disappointed by the attitude of his mother and grandmother. The fall of the Ge family was caused by his mother and grandmother who forced Ge Qing away, and even ignored the child she gave birth to. No matter how angry he was about being forced to marry by his parents, all the grudges disappeared with the fall of the Ge family. He would send Ge Qing a sum of alimony every month, which was the last thing he could do to fulfill his conscience.

Bai Qiurui simply shut up. His uncle didn't understand Song Shixia, but he knew that Song Shixia would never marry anyone for profit.

At the dinner table, Song Shixia diligently served her brother a full bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

"Brother, I see that one of your new buildings is very close to our factory. When are you going to put it up for sale?"

Song Qiu Sheng enjoyed being served by his sister, and lazily raised his eyelids.

"You mean Happy Home? It's just an ordinary neighborhood. You don't like it."

Song Shixia glanced at Ji Weiqing subconsciously.

"I definitely won't buy a house. I just want to seek benefits for our company's employees."

Song Qiu Sheng looked at his fiancée quietly. Yao Xue was drinking soup in small sips.

"Why don't you buy a piece of land and build it yourself? Are you worth a million now?"

Song Shixia couldn't help but roll her eyes at her brother.

"What's the concept of a million? Do you think I can make money by drinking water?" It's only a few tens of thousands away from a million.

"Come on, your ability to make money is just because you're lazy. If you were as hardworking as me, the richest man would have to change."

Yao Xue kicked him, and Song Qiu Sheng begged for mercy with his teeth bared.

"Okay, okay, how many buildings do you want?"

Song Shixia looked at her sister-in-law with a smile.

"How many buildings do we need?"

Song Qiu Sheng glared at his sister. Since she had already told him that it was Yao Xue's request, how could he dare to talk nonsense?

"We have 120 employees in our company, including the cleaning staff, so one building is enough."

Song Qiusheng clicked his tongue twice: "You two opened a company and you still give houses to your employees? How generous."

Song Shixia said as a matter of course: "Why can't we provide housing for employees? Since we have the conditions, we should provide food and accommodation for employees. When the company becomes bigger and stronger, we will build a hospital and school for employees. The factory will be near the employees' homes. When employees have a sense of belonging, they will be more motivated to work and more loyal to the company."

I will make up for it in the next two days. The lack of red flowers does not mean that I will stop updating, but the word count is not enough for 3,000 so it will not be displayed. Just check my update time.
