From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

At this point, Zheng Peian called Xu Chunliang again, asking him to go buy some chives.

Mei Ru Xue volunteered to go herself.

Xu Chunliang delivered the prepared side dishes to the kitchen, saw that Zheng Peian had almost finished prepping the food, and laughed, "Uncle Zheng, going all out today?"

Zheng Peian glanced outside and said mysteriously, "Your grandpa instructed me that I must bring my A-game today. That old man is Mei Ru Xue’s grandfather?"

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Zheng Peian said, "Looks impressive, like an old cadre."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "You really didn’t misjudge."

Zheng Peian said, "As your uncle, I really shouldn’t ask..."

"Then don’t ask."

Zheng Peian’s words got stuck halfway, he blinked and said, "You kid are really something, so is today like meeting the parents?"

Xu Chunliang laughed, "Didn’t they say it clearly? Going to Nanjiang for the New Year, just happened to pass by Dongzhou, came specifically to visit Mr. Xu."

Zheng Peian said, "Visiting Mr. Xu is just an excuse, seeing you is the real reason, kid, you better behave."

"What should I behave about?"

Zheng Peian said, "You really don’t know? You’re always goofing around with a sly grin, full of mischief."

"Stay away from my little aunt in the future."

"Just kidding, I was just kidding." Zheng Peian immediately backed down.

Xu Chunliang saw a Mercedes parked at the door, it was Sheng Chaohui, the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical.

Sheng Chaohui was here to deliver holiday gifts, he actually planned to come a few days ago but got delayed due to some matters, didn’t expect his cousin to cause this mess.

Although it was Sheng Chaomei who caused the trouble, Sheng Chaohui was nervous, especially since Xu Chunliang’s involvement in hitting someone made it to the hot search; Sheng Chaohui was worried he’d be blamed, especially since his life still depended on Xu Chunliang, as the antidote for the Five Poison Heart Attack Pill needed regular administration.

Sheng Chaohui directed the driver to start unloading things from the trunk, Xu Chunliang came out smiling, "President Sheng, this is quite the impressive gesture."

Sheng Chaohui said, "I’m here to visit Mr. Xu." In reality, he had no dealings with Xu Changshan, he mainly came to please this little master.

Xu Chunliang took out a pack of cigarettes, Sheng Chaohui accepted one, and Xu Chunliang helped him light it. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Sheng Chaohui, nodding and bowing very politely, observed that Xu Chunliang seemed in a good mood, seemingly not too affected, which relieved him.

Sheng Chaohui was pondering how to ask for the antidote.

Xu Chunliang handed him the cigarette pack, "Keep it for yourself."

Seeing his gaze, Sheng Chaohui quickly understood, opened the pack and glanced inside, there were only two cigarettes, along with a small bottle, presumably the antidote from Xu Chunliang.

Feeling relieved, Sheng Chaohui hurriedly put away the pack, "Director Xu, I’ll transfer the money to Secretary Gao and the others today."

Xu Chunliang said, "No rush, follow the usual procedures, don’t let anyone use this as a pretext."

Sheng Chaohui nodded, "My cousin is not very cultured, sorry for the trouble this time."

Xu Chunliang said, "You know what they say, you don’t know someone until you’ve fought, isn’t that how we met too?"

Sheng Chaohui smiled awkwardly, Xu Chunliang’s incident of hitting someone became quite a big deal, even more so than the last time he stormed into Enheng Headquarters and beat him up, making it to the top ten on the hot search list.

As the president of a listed pharmaceutical company, Sheng Chaohui had a keen sense of anticipation, he thought Xu Chunliang would surely face repercussions, possibly losing his job this time.

After all, Huayuan Group had already clarified that there was no employment relationship between them and Xu Chunliang, clearly drawing a line.

Sheng Chaohui said, "If there’s anything I can do to help, just say the word."

Xu Chunliang was satisfied with Sheng Chaohui’s attitude, indeed, learning without a beating is rare, Sheng Chaohui was evidently completely subdued by him.

"Do you still keep in touch with Wu Yuanyi?"

Sheng Chaohui hurriedly shook his head, Enheng was a listed company, while Wu Yuanyi was a notorious illegal dealer, associating with such a person was definitely not good.

Xu Chunliang said, "Is there a way to find him?"

Sheng Chaohui said, "I’ve been out of touch with him for a long time, you know, for a listed company, operating legally is extremely important, we’re very strict in selecting suppliers, and this person’s dealings are not clean, I keep my distance."

Xu Chunliang said, "Do you know that Wu Yuanyi comes from a gang background?"

Sheng Chaohui replied, "I’ve heard about it, but I don’t have any dealings with him."

Xu Chunliang said, "I want to find him. Can you think of a way to help me?" He glanced at Sheng Chaohui and said, "This Wu Yuanyi has a strong sense of revenge. If he finds out you’re helping me against him, I’m afraid he won’t let you off either."

Sheng Chaohui pressed his lips together. Xu Chunliang’s words were clearly a threat. If he didn’t help, there was a possibility that Xu Chunliang would leak this information. If Wu Yuanyi believed it, he would definitely target Enheng, and Sheng Chaohui was familiar with the methods of the gang.

Weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Sheng Chaohui said, "I’ll think of a way."

Xu Chunliang patted Sheng Chaohui on the shoulder, recalling seeing his wife Liang Wenjing at the cinema before. Now, whenever he looked at Sheng Chaohui, he felt a green glow over his head and intentionally asked, "How’s your relationship with your wife?"

Sheng Chaohui smiled bitterly, "How good can it be? Just a couple on the surface." Xu Chunliang knew all about his situation. The reason they hadn’t divorced was because of shared interests, and Liang Wenjing was the actual chairman of Enheng, while Sheng Chaohui held no real power as general manager.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Is that Chen Jianxin still working at Enheng?"

Sheng Chaohui’s face flushed. He was most afraid of Xu Chunliang bringing this up, but since Xu Chunliang mentioned it, he couldn’t avoid it. He informed Xu Chunliang that due to Zhao Xiaohui’s incident, Liang Wenjing was furious and had already fired Chen Jianxin.

Upon hearing that Chen Jianxin had left Enheng and recalling watching movies with Liang Wenjing, Xu Chunliang felt something unusual but didn’t point it out. He indirectly reminded Sheng Chaohui, "Women need to be cared for."

Misunderstanding his point, Sheng Chaohui thought Xu Chunliang was reminding him not to neglect Zhao Xiaohui and said in a low voice, "I know in my heart."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, "What do you know, your head is about to be covered with spearmint gum." But he didn’t want to speak too plainly, not knowing that the couple might have already reached an understanding, going their separate ways and doing their own things.

Just after Sheng Chaohui left, Ding Si came over with a gift.

Elder Qiao and Xu Changshan stood at the window upstairs, watching clearly.

Elder Qiao said, "Xiaoxu has quite a few friends."

Xu Changshan never hesitated to praise his beloved grandson, "This child is loyal and enthusiastic, so people are willing to associate with him."

Elder Qiao said, "I heard your son is abroad?"

Xu Changshan responded, "He settled down over there. I just consider that I don’t have this son. Thankfully, my grandson is filial, and my daughter isn’t bad either." He still held a grudge against Xu Jiaxuan, despite the house he bought for the family. What truly mattered to parents was not the money children provide, but how much time they spend with them.

Elder Qiao laughed, "When the children grow up, we can’t keep them even if we want to. We, as elders, need to respect their wishes."

He couldn’t help but think of his son, Qiao Yuanshan. If he hadn’t been so strict with him, perhaps Qiao Yuanshan would still be by his side, often reflecting that he might have destroyed his son’s happiness.

Xu Changshan deeply agreed, "Yes, as long as they’re happy."

Elder Qiao looked at Xu Chunliang, who was busy receiving gifts below, and casually asked, "What’s Xiaoxu’s position at work?"

Xu Changshan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Xu Chunliang’s gift-receiving might have upset Elder Qiao, he quickly explained, "He’s just an ordinary employee at Changxing. Those are just his friends."

Elder Qiao said, "I heard from Xiaoxue that he was a director, wasn’t he?"

Actually, it was Xu Changshan who said it initially. He was afraid Elder Qiao thought Xu Chunliang accepted bribes. Despite Xu Chunliang’s modest position, there were many gift-givers during festivals. Because of this, Xu Changshan often warned Xu Chunliang to keep a clear head and not to misuse his position to accept bribes.

Every time it was brought up, Xu Chunliang would assure him not to worry. He wouldn’t have the opportunity to be corrupt even if he wanted to, and he wasn’t driven by money anyway.

Although Xu Changshan trusted his grandson, he still felt uneasy seeing him bring in gifts frequently, especially when it was witnessed by Mei Ru Xue’s grandfather.

Xu Changshan quickly covered up for his grandson, "He’s just a branch director. That person is Ding Si, who came to see me. I treated him before."

Elder Qiao chuckled, "Mr. Xu healing the world and benefiting humanity is truly admirable."

Xu Changshan said, "The superior doctor heals the nation, the middle doctor heals people, and the inferior doctor heals diseases. In my life, I’ve only managed to heal diseases."

Elder Qiao said, "Relieving people’s ailments is already remarkable; you shouldn’t underestimate yourself."

Both men looked out the window simultaneously. The people bringing gifts were gone. Mei Ru Xue returned with groceries, and Xu Chunliang went out to take them from her, exchanging a sweet look of affection.

Xu Changshan said with satisfaction, "Being young is wonderful."

Elder Qiao sighed, "Indeed, it’s only when we see these young people that we realize we’re truly old."

Xu Changshan said, "When we’re old, we must accept it. We were always worried about the younger generation, considering them children who needed care and guidance, but one day I found that they started taking care of me."

Elder Qiao nodded, realizing Xu Chunliang had begun taking care of his grandfather. In this regard, no one among his descendants was comparable.

Letting go is easy to say but tough to do. For the Xu family, medicine was the most important skill, representing their family glory. The Qiao family needed to pass on political connections. He was far from ready to let go.
