Chapter 15: The Golden Thigh
Zhao Bowen ignored the grease stains on his hands. Instead, he raised his hands to take the information almost with force and looked over it seriously.
Seeing that he was fascinated, Qing Yun didnt rush him. He stood up and handed him a business card: You can decide after reading it.
N-no, N-no!!!
Zhao Bowen pointed at the document in his hands with a shocked expression. As his head shook, the crumbs in his mouth spewed straight out. However, he was immediately attracted to the information.
Qing Yun smiled lightly, ignored him, and went back along the way he came. This information covered the anti-cancer mechanism, pharmacological effect, preparation method, and other aspects of an anti-cancer drug. It was Qing Yun who had these results.
Its not that hes accomplished much in the field of biomedicine, but Qing Yun has been sick for nearly ten thousand years. The countless drugs hes mastered are excellent. Even though it was slightly limited in this world, with Qing Yuns ability, it wasnt hard to connect some magical prescriptions with modern medical knowledge!
The reason why he was looking for Zhao Bowen was to set up a shield for himself.
After all, Xiao Chengnuos degree is in management, which is incompatible with pharmaceuticals, so how could he develop such amazing ideas.
According to the direction of the original world, it was Xiao Chengzhe who discovered the genius Zhao Bowen. He was grateful to Zhao Bowen, and even more so, he used Zhaos achievements in the field of medicine to advance his company to a higher level and officially enter into the worlds top 500.
Qing Yun found Zhao Bowen, but he didnt just let him go by his own ideas. This information was just a hint to Zhao Bowen. Qing Yun believed that with his talent, he would do better and go further.
The snow was getting heavier, and Qing Yun was slowly becoming impatient.
Someone was following him.
When Qing Yun came out of his residence, he noticed that someone was watching him, but he didnt feel any malice and let it go.
But no matter if it was Father Xiao or someone else who sent them, this behavior was enough to make Qing Yun unhappy.
Shaking off the snowflakes on his scarf, Qing Yun softly exhaled a breath of white air and seemed to have the feeling to turn around.
A vehicle came and stopped just beside Qing Yun.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing Zou Chens deep eyebrows as he opened the car door for Qing Yun, Its cold outside. Get in, and Ill give you a ride.
Qing Yun raised his eyebrows slightly with interest. It turned out to be this man. After sweeping through the mans cold and suppressed enthusiastic eyes, Qing Yun suddenly realized it. He didnt expect this man to be interested in him after only one meeting.
But then again, he was at fault for being so confused that he even recognized the wrong person.
Forget it. Qing Yun hung his eyes and shook his head, about to close the car door.
Unexpectedly, the man reached out and grabbed Qing Yuns wrist, pulling the man into the car with a slight force.
Qing Yuns eyes widened slightly. His body had been completely transformed, so he was surprised that this man could catch him by surprise. Qing Yuns heart could not help but feel more cautious.
Your hands are so cold. Dont you know how to wear something thicker? Surprised by the touch in his hand, Zou Chen frowned unhappily and reached out to turn up the cars air conditioning a bit more.
"
"
Qing Yun made a clever effort to free his wrist and looked at the man with displeasure in his eyes, Who are you?
The person who was watching him closely today was probably related to this man as well.
Hearing his question, Zou Chen held his forehead and laughed lowly. His deep and pleasant voice echoing in the car, and the warm air of the air conditioner made ones ears perk up.
The displeasure in Qing Yuns eyes deepened a little more.
What? Is it really good to reveal the fact that you threw away my card in such a manner, Second Young Master Xiao? Zou Chen had laughed enough and leaned back on the seat.
He was relaxed at the moment. God knows how grumpy he was before he met the youth and how many glasses he broke. These days, the entire Zou Clan knows that its president is sick again, and everyone has kept quiet.
As Zou Chens body stretched, the entire interior of the car was filled with his domineering and gentle aura, which quickly invaded Qing Yuns mind and stirred up his nerves.
Didnt you also find out who I was without my consent? Qing Yun gave him an angry glance. He is now in a strange situation. Knowing that this man should not be underestimated, he had his guard up, but all of his defenses crumbled and collapsed at the mans words.
This feeling of being out of control made Qing Yun extremely uncomfortable.
Zou Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled. He was so overbearing that he even needed his permission to know a name?
Youre starting a pharmaceutical company? He suddenly said towards Qing Yun, Do you want me to help?
Not only Qing Yuns current plans, but also Xiao Chengzhes matter, Father Xiaos attitude, and Qing Yuns situation in the Xiao family were clear to Zou Chen. After all, with his status, nothing could be hidden from him.
Oh? Is it really a good idea to reveal the fact that you spied on me in such a way? Qing Yuns eyes swept over with a cool look, and his mouth was as vicious as his words.
Zou Chen, my name. Without a hint of displeasure at all, instead, he added to him at the right time. Then, he explained gently, This isnt surveillance. Im just trying to protect and get to know you.
Xiao Chengnuos apartment appeared, and the car slowed to a stop.
Qing Yun sneered, sharply opened the car door, and stepped into the heavy snow.
He turned back and dropped his eyes to the man behind him, I dont like people meddling in my business. Take back your people.
Bang!
The car door slammed shut in front of Zou Chens eyes, presenting a gesture of rejection like Qing Yuns words. He frowned in annoyance. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a troublesome situation.
Zou Chen, who had been in a high position for a long time, was used to having all sorts of things under control, so he didnt feel that he was doing anything wrong. As long as Qing Yun wants it, he can offer Xiaos Pharmaceuticals to him tomorrow.
But remembering the displeasure mixed with disgust in the eyes of Qing Yun, he hesitated.
The cold snowflakes poured into Qing Yuns neck. Then, he remembered that he had left his scarf in the car, but he wasnt about to go back for it, even though he knew the car was still parked behind him.
In the last world with Nie Chenyuan, it was just that Qing Yun was suddenly younger and curious to try it once. Qing Yun himself was surprised to be able to end up with Nie Chenyuan. But he is not prepared to fall in love in every world and be stuck with someone for the rest of his life.
After all, the powerful Heavenly Dao was like a butchers knife that was always hanging over Qing Yuns head.
Traveling from world to world, this was more like escape and revenge than a vacation for Qing Yun.
Qing Yun felt a little cold, and he breathed hot air into his palm, frowning unconsciously. If he hadnt left his car at the Xiao residence, he wouldnt have met the man today.
The days flew by.
It has entered the second half of the lunar month, and Qing Yun was still busy. Xiao Chengnuo has no money on hand. The registration of the company was finished, but it cant support the development of new drugs. So, Qing Yun has been running to the stock exchange market recently, but the funds cannot be turned around for a while.
Of course, in saying so, one must ignore the five hundred million that suddenly popped up in his account.
Qing Yun knew that this was Zou Chens work, but he wasnt going to touch it. Qing Yun didnt think that the man at the head of the Zou Consortium liked to be charitable, and every single cent of the five hundred million was a clear indication of the mans intentions towards him.
Whats more, in the worlds original direction, Zou Chen is considered the invisible golden thigh of the protagonist, Xiao Chengzhe. In the future, their positions are likely to be opposite to each other.
A week after Qing Yun had met with Zhao Bowen, he finally received a call from him.
The voice on the phone was tired and oddly excited: This is a Nobel Prize level achievementand youre just going to give it to me?
On the other end of the line, Zhao Bowen had dark circles around his eyes. He was like a madman, exclaiming, Id love to meet the man who wrote this! Does his lab still take people? Can I get in?
The night he saw this information, he already planned to agree to Qing Yun, but he was addicted to the data and could not help himself. So it was not until seven days later when he finished reading it entirely, that he thought of returning Qing Yuns call.
But he also felt a bit strange: With such a skilled person helping you, you didnt need to come after me.
Dont worry about that, just tell me if you want to enter my company or not. Qing Yun returned the call as he sorted out the papers on his desk.
Yes! Of course, I do! Zhao Bowen replied decisively.
Okay, lets make an appointment to get the contract signed after the year.
The result wasnt unexpected. Qing Yun hung up the phone and noticed the person who had arrived at his place, his eyes widening in slight surprise.
Mom, what are you doing here?
Mother Xiao walked in with a thermos and looked up and down Xiao Chengnuos place before poking her sons forehead in a bad mood.
She had recently returned to her mothers house on the eighth day of the lunar month, so she didnt know that Father Xiao and Xiao Chengnuo were at war again. When she came back and found out that Xiao Chengnuo had been chased away by his father again, she wasnt too worried because Xiao Chengnuo was chased away by Father Xiao almost every month on average. Mother Xiao was used to it.
But this time, Xiao Chengnuo didnt come home for nearly twenty days. Even Father Xiao, who has been hard-hearted until now, didnt let go. Only then did Mother Xiao notice that things were getting serious, and she came looking for Xiao Chengnuo.
Come on, show your mom how much weight youve lost in the last few days.
Mom Qing Yun had no choice but to turn around in a circle following Mother Xiaos force.
Seeing that her son was still handsome, Mother Xiao put her mind at ease and opened the thermos to pour out her soup: Come on, mommy will make up for you!
She looked at her son, who sat down obediently with the soup, suddenly sighed and asked: What, is it that brother of yours thats causing all this trouble again this time?
"
"
Qing Yun didnt say anything but tacitly agreed.
Mother Xiao saw it more clearly than Father Xiao. When Xiao Chengzhe came to the Xiao family, the couple had no children yet, so they treated Xiao Chengzhe as their own. Later, when Xiao Chengnuo was born, they didnt neglect Xiao Chengzhe either.
But after all, women have delicate emotions. When she found out that Xiao Chengzhe was bullying Xiao Chengnuo, who was still in elementary school, Mother Xiao couldnt laugh or cry. She only felt that the child lacked love and couldnt help but cherish Xiao Chengzhe a little more.
However, Xiao Chengzhe didnt stop. As Xiao Chengnuo grew up, he went so far as to encourage Xiao Chengnuo to race cars and even take drugs.
This completely stepped on Mother Xiaos bottom line.
Her attitude towards Xiao Chengzhe slowly changed, and she began to remind Father Xiao.
But the more she took this attitude, the more Father Xiao felt that she was prejudiced against Xiao Chengzhe and defended him even more. If it wasnt for Mother Xiaos belief in Father Xiaos character, she would have thought that Xiao Chengzhe was his illegitimate son.
Youre holding up pretty well this time. Mother Xiao knocked on Qing Yuns head, Arent you going to go back?
Why should I go back when hes bothering me so much? Qing Yuns words sounded lost. Although Mother Xiao didnt say anything, she looked at him with an aggrieved expression.
When I say return, you have to return! She crossed her arms, Ill cut anyone who tries to drive my son away.
Afterward, she helped Qing Yun with her plans, Your fathers 50th birthday happens to be a grand event, so you should prepare a gift
Listening to Mother Xiaos droning, Qing Yun could not help but smile a little. Mother Xiao truly loved Xiao Chengnuo, and she was the only one who never abandoned him in this world.
But because of this attitude of hers, after Xiao Chengzhe got the Xiaos and drove out Xiao Chengnuo, he didnt spare Mother Xiao.
Even Father Xiao, who had always treated Xiao Chengzhe as his own, was cheated out of his shares by his trickery. In the end, the two old people, who have nothing, were driven out of the Xiao family.
But now, none of Xiao Chengzhes plans would be accomplished.
As the protagonist of this world, Xiao Chengzhe naturally had his own eyes and ears in the Xiao family, and he had gotten the news almost as soon as Mother Xiao left home.
At this time, he was staying in the private room of the club, and his expression unpredictable as he spun his phone. Father Xiaos 50th birthday was in a few days. He had expected that Mother Xiao would take this opportunity to bring Xiao Chengnuo back.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldnt help but flicker with gloom.
The last r-pe incident was unsuccessful. He not only didnt drag Xiao Chengnuo completely down but also left a handle on that stupid woman Miao and wasted a lot of his efforts. This made Xiao Chengzhe depressed, and he had a feeling that something was wrong. How could Xiao Chengnuo not go along with his plan? How did it go wrong at that time?
A greeting came from the doorway, and a man with the word arrogance written all over his body walked in.
When Xiao Chengzhe saw the visitor, his eyes lit up, and a plan floated to his mind.
The visitor was the second young master of the Zou Family, the most favored brother of Zou Chen, the Zou Clans head.
