Chapter 244 What a wishful thinking!
The person who arrived had a slicked-back hairstyle and exuded a strong presence.
He is Wu Tao's father, Wu Chengqi, the chairman of the Wu Group.
"dad!"
Upon seeing Wu Chengqi enter, Wu Tao quickly called out to him.
"Chairman...it's so good to see you here!" The people around seemed to have found their pillar of support.
Zhen Suxin and Liu Yue were very nervous.
The chairman of the Wu Group is no benevolent figure; rumors about him involve organized crime. The two were fearful and worried that Xiao Chen might suffer.
Wu Chengqi frowned as he scanned the entire room.
Wu Tao knelt on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.
"Dad, this guy is here to cause trouble, we can't let him get away with this!" Wu Tao shouted at Wu Chengqi, his expression filled with resentment.
His father had powerful connections, navigating both the legal and illegal worlds, so he was sure his father could get revenge for him.
His bodyguards were said to be powerful martial artists; dealing with this kid should be a piece of cake for them.
However, Wu Chengqi did not appear particularly angry. Although his face was somewhat gloomy, he did not issue any orders.
"Help him up," Wu Chengqi said with a stern face.
Wu Tao was helped up, but he still stared intently at Xiao Chen.
"I want him to be ten times more injured than me!" he shouted, pointing at Xiao Chen.
"You scoundrel!" Wu Chengqi suddenly rebuked him coldly.
Wu Tao was taken aback, his face showing confusion.
“Dad…I’m the victim…how could you…” he whispered in protest.
"If the group's business were really handed over to you, it would probably be ruined!" Wu Chengqi rebuked.
"You can't even handle the work in a sales office, how can I entrust you with important responsibilities in the future? You've disappointed me..."
Wu Tao felt a bitter taste of injustice and extreme grievance.
He was humiliated by Xiao Chen, and his father not only did not help him avenge himself, but also blamed him.
He even doubted whether he was his biological son.
"How many times have I told you, the customer is God. Here, you're just a service worker. Stop acting like a spoiled brat. You haven't listened to a word I said!" Wu Chengqi continued to scold.
"Dad, even if I'm in this state, I'm still your son!" Wu Tao said indignantly.
"Shut up!" Wu Chengqi glared, his eyes filled with authority.
“Apologize to Mr. Xiao,” he said.
Wu Tao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"Dad, what did you say?" His face turned ashen, and his voice rose and became shrill.
The sales office staff looked dazed.
Even Zhen Suxin and Liu Yue were stunned.
What's going on here?
Wu Tao was injured so badly, and Wu Chengqi didn't say a word of concern. Instead, he made Wu Tao apologize to Xiao Chen...
Wu Tao even evokes sympathy in people.
What was Wu Chengqi really thinking?
Xiao Chen watched indifferently.
He didn't know any chairman of the Wu Group.
Something unusual must be going on; the other party must have ulterior motives.
"Let me apologize to him... no way!" Wu Tao shouted through gritted teeth.
Wu Chengqi's expression darkened further, and he gave a wink to the bodyguard beside him.
The bodyguard stepped forward and immediately lifted Wu Tao up.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" he struggled.
The bodyguard, expressionless, dragged him to Xiao Chen and forced him to bow to Xiao Chen.
Wu Tao was almost bursting with frustration, but the bodyguard held him tightly, and he couldn't break free. All he could do was let out a furious roar of resentment.
“Mr. Xiao, I have failed in my duty to raise my son. Please forgive me.” Wu Chengqi said to Xiao Chen with a smile.
"I'm not familiar with you," Xiao Chen said indifferently, showing no respect.
Wu Chengqi's smile remained unchanged.
"Mr. Xiao doesn't know me, but I know you."
"A prodigy who developed the Rejuvenating Pill and the Longevity Medicine at such a young age, even the president of the Pharmacist Association was alarmed and begged to be recruited into the association and awarded the highest honor of Hall of Fame Pharmacist..." Wu Chengqi revealed Xiao Chen's background.
"What? He's the one who developed the Rejuvenating Pill and the Longevity Medicine? That Medicine God?" Wu Tao's mouth dropped open in shock.
The Rejuvenating Pill is so miraculous that it has become famous throughout the Xia Kingdom, and it is difficult to buy even if you have money.
And the longevity elixir, which has yet to be discovered, has already spread far and wide, with countless people eagerly awaiting its release.
The Rejuvenating Pill is already enough to drive people crazy, so the Longevity Pill is an absolute game-changer. I wonder what kind of sensation it will cause when it's released...
The mysterious developer has long been elevated to a divine status, hailed as a god-like figure in the medical field, and called the God of Medicine, with countless people eager to catch a glimpse of his true identity.
Many top figures have wanted to meet him, but so far they have not been able to.
"How could he be?" Wu Tao found it hard to believe.
How can someone so young be associated with that kind of person?
"Is this...is this real?" Zhen Suxin looked at Xiao Chen in shock.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless, his gaze carrying a hint of sharpness.
To prevent him from getting caught up in the vortex and causing various troubles, the president of the Pharmacist Association did not reveal his information, and the Xiao family also intentionally kept it a secret.
Although it's impossible to completely block the news, it's impossible for the average person to know that he is the developer.
"Chairman Wu has excellent connections," Xiao Chen said casually.
“In our line of work, we need to be well-informed about various fields,” Wu Chengqi said with a smile.
"It is our honor that Mr. Xiao has taken a liking to our group's properties. We will give this villa in Xijiang Huafu to Mr. Xiao free of charge, just to make friends."
These words stunned everyone present.
A luxury mansion worth over 100 million was given away for free...
What a grand gesture!
Is this the influence of the "Medicine God"?
Zhen Suxin's emotions were in turmoil and she could hardly calm down.
The renowned Medicine God was reduced to a lowly security guard under her...
At that time, I was full of rejection, who knew he had such a great background!
That's absolutely astonishing.
"Dad, that's over a hundred million!" Wu Tao exclaimed, unable to accept it.
"If you say another word, get out of the Wu Group!" Wu Chengqi said coldly.
Wu Tao immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
I just can't find peace in my heart.
Xiao Chen had made him suffer so much, yet his father still wanted to give him a luxurious villa; he was extremely resentful.
"Speak, what is your purpose?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
“Mr. Xiao is a man of few words. If I were to beat around the bush, it would make me seem hypocritical,” Wu Chengqi said with a smile.
"I have no other requests, but now that I am getting old, I am suffering from many ailments. I don't know how long I can live. Mr. Xiao, could you please give me a dose of your longevity medicine?"
"So you wanted a longevity elixir." Zhen Suxin's expression revealed her understanding.
A businessman is a businessman; profit is always his priority.
"You think you can trade a villa for a life-extending drug... You're dreaming." Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat sarcastic.
“That guy surnamed Xiao’s medicine is worth over a hundred million. No matter how good your medicine is, how precious can it be? Don’t be ungrateful!” Wu Tao said.
“One hundred million… ha…” Xiao Chen sneered.
"When the Longevity Pill is put up for auction in the capital, take 100 million and see if you can buy it."
Wu Chengqi's expression was slightly stiff.
"I've already paid the money. Now, let's get all the formalities done," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"Do as he says," Wu Chengqi instructed.
