Chapter 110: The Facade

  Xiao Jianying was taken aback by Xiao Yu's words, she didn't expect Xiao Yu to have such thoughts. Xiao Jianying knew that although her father hadn't mentioned anything about reopening the Wan Sheng Tang while he was alive, but she also knew that her father had a hard time letting go of the Xiao family's Wan Sheng Tang in his heart.

  Father knew that because of his own reasons, the Xiao family was killed and fell into trouble, so he felt guilty towards his ancestors and thought himself a sinner of the Xiao family. Even though he really wanted to open Wansheng Hall, as soon as he thought of the entire Xiao family who died because of him, he felt unworthy of being a descendant of the Xiao family. Therefore, even though Father really wanted to open it, he never mentioned it again.

  It seems that the son has really grown up, knowing that he should take on his responsibilities. Thinking of this, Xiao Jianying said to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, you've grown up and are the only heir of the Xiao family's generation, do whatever you want!"

  "Also, mom... I... a friend I met when I was hospitalized last time invited me to Beijing to attend his elder's birthday celebration. I'd like to ask for your opinion!" Xiao Yu said cautiously over the phone.

  Xiao Yu felt that his mother's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, and he couldn't help but hastily shout: "Mom... mom...... are you okay?! Mom......"

  After half a day, Xiang Jianying's voice finally came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Yu, you've grown up, Mom won't restrict you anymore, go wherever you want!" After finishing, Xiang Jianying hung up the phone.

  Listening to the blind tone on the other end of the phone, Xiao Yu vaguely suspected that the capital city might have something to do with his father, but it was precisely because of this that he became even more determined to go to the capital.

  Xiao Jianying hung up the phone, looked up at the sky outside and muttered: "What's meant to come will come, can't escape even if I want to! Hope I don't run into that family!"

  "Thanks, Mom!" Xiao Yu muttered to himself as he stared at the already hung up phone, knowing that his mother must have struggled intensely in her heart.

  "Stupid child!" As if she had heard her son's words, Xiao Jianying looked up at the sky with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

  Xiao Yu hung up the phone, washed his face, and walked out of the house to the antique city. He wanted to quit his job at the antique city. Xiao Yu thought it would be better to find Fang Yuan in person. When he was most down on his luck, Fang Yuan had helped him out a bit. Although when treating Professor Cai's illness, he didn't have many good intentions in his heart, but this was part of his job, and treating Professor Cai's illness was also part of his duties. Moreover, Fang Yuan had never asked him for anything, and was very polite to him. Xiao Yu felt that it was necessary to make this trip, which was basic courtesy anyway!

  Arrived at Fangyuan's office in the antique city, outside was where Fangyuan's secretary worked. The secretary, Xiao Yu, also knew her, a 22 or 23-year-old girl surnamed Qin. Outside rumors said that this girl had hooked up with Fangyuan, and some people even saw Secretary Qin holding arms with Fangyuan to eat dinner after work. However, Xiao Yu didn't think so. In Xiao Yu's opinion, the girl's eyebrows were tightly knitted between her eyes, clearly still a virgin. The outside rumors were mostly out of jealousy or something.

  "Dr. Xiao, something's up?" Secretary Qin asked as he stood up and saw Xiao Ye walk in.

  "Qin Secretary, is Director Fang in? I'm looking for Director Fang!" asked Xiao Yu with a faint smile.

  "Just wait a minute, I'll go and inform him!" Secretary Qin heard Xiao Yu say that he wanted to find Fang Yuan, so he walked towards the inner room.

  In a moment, Fang Yuan walked out quickly with a smile on his face. When he saw Xiao Ye, he was even more enthusiastic: "Xiao brother, what's the matter? Just make a phone call and you can come in! Come in quickly!"

  "I have something to ask Director Fang, sorry for disturbing you!" Xiao Yu looked at the enthusiastic Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

  "What's the disturbance, Doctor Xiao can come, I'm more than happy to have him here?" Fang Yuan said, then turned to Secretary Qin and said: "Xiao Zhu, from now on when Doctor Xiao comes, no need to announce his arrival, just let him in directly, got it?"

  "Alright......my magnanimous boss!" Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Secretary Qin drew out her voice and said coquettishly.

  "This child......" Fang Yuan sighed and shook his head.

  "Xiao Lao Di, I'm so sorry to make you laugh! This is my daughter 'Qin Xiang Zhu' with her mother's surname! And now, the school asked for an internship, and she ran here!" Fang Yuan said shaking his head with a helpless expression. Although Fang Yuan looked very helpless, Xiao Ye still felt the doting love he had for his daughter.

  "Oh..." Xiao Yu responded with a sound, no wonder everyone said that after work, they saw Secretary Qin holding Fang Yuan's arm to go eat. So that's how it is.

  As soon as they arrived at Fangyuan's office, the two of them had just sat down on the sofa when Qin Xiangzhu brought over a cup of tea and put it on the table, then sat down behind Fangyuan's desk to play with the computer, looking like she wasn't planning on leaving.

  Qin Xiangzhu was very curious about Xiao Yu, not only did she know that Xiao Yu had cured the experts' illnesses, but also that yesterday the municipal party committee secretary had found him, and after Fang Yuan returned, he had told his wife and daughter about it, so she wanted to see what Xiao Yu was doing with her father.

  "Xiao Lao Di, what brings you to me?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile. Yesterday he was still calling him "Dr. Xiao", today it's already changed to "Lao Di", don't know if it's the society changing too fast or Xiao Ye not keeping up with the times.

  "That... is always the case, I want to quit!" Xiao Yu said hesitantly.

  "What? Resignation? Is it because of Cui Xiaoling's matter?! I'll fire her immediately!" Fang Yuan, who was still smiling a moment ago, changed his expression as soon as he heard Xiao Ye say resignation. When mentioning Cui Xiaoling, he became even more furious.

  "It's not because of Cui Xiaoling, I studied traditional Chinese medicine, and what was passed down from my ancestors is also traditional Chinese medicine, so I want to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic!" Xiao Yu said calmly.

  When Fang Yuan heard that Xiao Ye wanted to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, she couldn't stop him at this time. After a moment of silence, Fang Yuan suddenly raised her head and said: "Xiao Ye wants to open a clinic, has he found a good location?"

  "Not yet! Just preparing!" Xiao Yu shook his head and said.

  When Xiao Yu said that he hadn't found a place yet, Fang Yuan's mind became active. As for Xiao Yu, he knew that Xiao Yu was not short of money and his medical skills were excellent, so it was only a matter of time before he left this place. What was important to him was the relationship between himself and Xiao Yu, and where Xiao Yu went or what he did was none of his business.

  "Xiao Lao Di, take a look at the northeast corner of our antique city, where the floor-to-ceiling glass is. What's going on there?" Fang Yuan said after thinking for a moment.

  Xiao Yu thought for a moment and couldn't help but say: "That place is pretty good!"

  What Fangyuan said was a place that Xiao Yu knew, it was a large piece of floor-to-ceiling glass on the first floor of Antique City, facing the street and considered a feng shui treasure land.

  Xiao Ye said it was okay, Fang Yuan smiled and said: "The company has a plan recently, to dismantle the large floor-to-ceiling glass, expand it a bit inside, make a facade for rent. Your Chinese medicine clinic doesn't have a place yet, why not rent that place? It's better than you finding another place!"

  Xiao Yu had originally thought of letting the Wei army help find a place, but he didn't expect this place to come so suddenly, and it was also a feng shui treasure land. Xiao Yu wasn't suspicious that Fang Yuan might have other purposes, but apart from his good medical skills, he shouldn't have anything else worth the other party's attention, right?

  Xiao Ye actually knew that Fang Yuan was like this because of Zhang Shao Hua, and if he found out, who knows what kind of thoughts he would have. Someone he had only met once had inadvertently helped him in a big way.

  "That's it, then I'll thank Director Fang!" Xiao Yu said and was about to take his leave.

  Fang Yuan heard that Xiao Yu had accepted, and he let out a sigh of relief. He had heard Cai Laoshi and others praise Xiao Yu's character many times before, but Fang Yuan was not in awe of him. He wasn't afraid that Xiao Yu would accept, what he feared was that Xiao Yu wouldn't accept. He also knew that Xiao Yu wouldn't accept for nothing, even if Xiao Yu wanted to pay the market price for rent, Fang Yuan wasn't afraid. As long as he could help and establish a connection, his goal would be achieved.

  "Xiao Lao Di, don't be so polite, I know your medical skills, the closer you are to me, the more at ease I feel, at least I'm not afraid of getting sick!" Fang Yuan patted Xiao Ye on the back, flattering him.

  After seeing off Xiao Yu, Fang Yuan had just returned to the office when Qin Xiangzhu pouted and said: "Dad, how come I haven't heard that Guwan City is going to cut out a piece of land on that side as its facade?"

  "Stupid girl, what do you know? I'm the general manager, and if I want to open it, I can make it happen!"

  "But isn't there a problem with the headquarters?" Qin Xiangzhu still had some misgivings.

  "Haha, you don't understand and still don't believe! I didn't mean that because Xiao Yu knows the secretary of the municipal party committee, those are too far away from me. What I want is to let the headquarters see it, to let the people in the headquarters know that I have such friends, this is what I want!" Fang Yuan chuckled and shook her head, looking at her daughter with a patient expression.

  Fang Yuan never avoids telling his daughter about the twists and turns in officialdom and business circles. He wants her to have more contact with these things, so that when she enters society in the future, she won't be at a disadvantage. If she waits until she enters society to figure all this out, it will take several years and she'll have to suffer a few setbacks before she can understand.

  After listening to Fang Yuan's words, Qin Xiangzhu nodded as if she understood but didn't really understand.

  "This is just one of them!" Fang Yuan said again, seeing his daughter's contemplative look.

  "Oh, and what's the second one?" Hearing that it was only one of them, he couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression as he looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

  "Secondly, isn't Vice President Chen not very obedient? I just want to use this matter to put pressure on him and let others who follow him and me understand my power. If I want to do something, Vice President Chen must also cooperate!" As he said this, Fang Yuan's face was full of complacency.

  "But what if Vice President Chen disagrees?" Qin Xiangzhu naturally knew that after being honest for a while, this Vice President Chen started to oppose his father everywhere, and it was simply difficult to get him to cooperate.

  Although Qin Xiangzhu and her father studied for a period of time, after all, she has not experienced much social experience and is still in the stage of talking on paper, and can even be said to be exploring at this stage.

  "Him? Absolutely not on this matter!" Thinking of Chen Jinghai's appearance, Fang Yuan revealed a sinister smile and said.
