Chapter 256: Overwhelming Confidence [Update 2 on the 14th]
The young man looked towards the distance and said in a deep voice, "Luckily, we people of Fusang Country are exceptionally intelligent, much smarter than those foolish people of Huaya.
Therefore, I immediately sent someone to investigate the origin of the Sun Kang Medicinal Powder, and then I found Xu Hao. I just had my subordinate follow Xu Hao, making sure not to attract his attention. That night, after the auction at Didixiya Auction House ended, Xu Hao demonstrated the effects of his cosmetics to those people. After they left, the person I had sent stealthily collected the powder from the ground and brought it to me quietly, and I, in turn, figured out the formula of the medicine!"
"Hahaha! Worthy of being my son, truly clever! That foolish Huaya man probably won't even have started production by the time we sell our product in Huaya. I really want to see what kind of expression he'll have then!"
The young man was named Zheng Baijing, and his father was the Family Head of the Zheng family, Zheng Shibai.
Zheng Shibai suddenly remembered the name Xu Hao and couldn't help saying, "These past few days, because of Li Junyi's death, a Huaya man named Xu Hao has also been thrust into the spotlight. Could it be the same Xu Hao?"
Zheng Baijing quickly asked, "Father, I haven't been in our country these days and am not very clear about these matters, could you please clarify for me?"
Zheng Shibai smiled and said, "Didn't Li Junyi want to challenge the experts of Huaya? I heard it started off successfully, but later he was defeated by a Huayan. Yet for some reason, he still had the face to come back, even being treated like a national hero. But, pitifully, he hadn't even spoken a few words at the airport when he suddenly exploded on the spot."
"That serves him right!"
Zheng Baijing said unhappily, "Those people of the Li family always think they are the grandest family of Fusang Country and are always so arrogant, trying to get their hands in every industry. Fortunately, with the Zheng family leading the automotive industry, the Li family has not succeeded. Their unsuccessful trip to Huaya was inevitable.
Although Huaya is poor and backward, and the quality of its people is low, when compared to us people of Fusang Country, they are far behind. However, their martial arts originated a very long time ago, and yet Li Junyi tried to use our not so proficient martial arts to challenge theirs—wasn't that just asking for death?"
Zheng Shibai said with a slight smile, "You're right! Our Fusang Country is small, and our population is small. To become a great nation, we must not be hasty but plan carefully. Let the Li family be reckless for now; they'll have their reckoning soon.
According to our spies in Island Country, someone from the Kameda family died at the hands of the Li family. I guess it was Li Junyi's doing. He should have just stuck to troubling Huaya people since they are easy to bully, but the Island Country people are not to be trifled with. Once people from the Kameda family start blaming them, they'll have enough trouble on their hands!"
"Is that true? That's fantastic! Li Junyi is already dead, dead without proof. The Kameda family will definitely make a big deal out of this. There will be a good show to watch then," Zheng Baijing said gleefully.
Zheng Shibai suddenly said solemnly, "Baijing, watch your attitude! We are Fusang Country people, and the Island Country people are our enemies. We do have private grievances with the Li family, but it hasn't escalated to the level of homicides. So, when there are external enemies, we must stand united with them! That is the foundation for our Fusang Country to thrive continually."
Zheng Baijing immediately nodded in agreement. In his triumphant excitement, he had almost forgotten the basic principle set by the Fusang Country government for all major families, which is not to engage in excessive private disputes and not to help foreigners against our own countrymen.
The father and son of the Zheng family then meticulously plotted together, while Xu Hao was completely unaware of this.
At that moment, he was giving a lecture to Lei Qianjue.
Although Lei Qianjue's medical skills were not as good as Xu Hao's, he had been in the profession for many years.
As the saying goes, "Good doctors are trained in the wards."
Though this saying is slightly biased, it does highlight the importance of practice in the field of medical skills.
The next day, You Yaozong received a notification—the hospital had withdrawn their lawsuit against him, and he was reinstated as the Head of Dermatology and also became the Executive Vice-Director at the First Hospital of Huadu.
Though it might seem like just the addition of the word "executive," it is a world of difference.
Being the Executive Vice-Director means that whenever the Director is absent, he is the highest authority of the First Hospital.
When the Director is promoted, it is almost a sure thing that he will become the Director.
You Yaozong marveled at the powerful influence of the Zhou family, thinking that if such influence came from the second in command of the Zhou family, how much power must the Patriarch of the Zhou family wield?
No wonder Zhou Jiandong was so eager to compete for the position of Family Head!
But at that time, You Yaozong felt even more grateful towards Xu Hao, though Xu Hao didn't really care; to him, it was just a minor favor.
The day after You Yaozong resumed his position, an unexpected visitor came to his residence.
