Chapter 188 - Why Wouldn't Fang JunRong Keep These to Give Away as Favors Herself? (1)

As much as Fang JunRong didn't care for Zhang ZhiYang but she was willing to put up a front and feigned friendliness to him for the sake of money.

Zhang ZhiYang, being able to secure what he had wanted at a price that was lower than he had expected, was also very happy.

When the two happy people stood next to each other, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When Li XinYun finished signing the control, Zhang ZhiYang, who was still in a good mood, extended his invitation, "Lunch?" He looked over at Li XinYun and noticed that Fang JunRong's daughter was also a beautiful. Still a little bit of a childish look on her, but she looked at lot like Fang JunRong and her features were very delicate.

Fang JunRong noticed his look and recalled that this man liked to date girls in their twenties. She was alarmed all of a sudden and subtly stood in front of her daughter. "Not today. XinYun still needs to go home to prepare for her final examinations, right?"

Li XinYun was about to say that she had already finished studying but, seeing the look in her mother's eyes, nodded docilely.

Zhang ZhiYang's lips twitched. Was it necessary to guard him like he was some sort of viruses? He has morals too. He wouldn't turn around and pursue Fang JunRong's daughter right after he had pursued Fang JunRong just a little while ago.

Fang JunRong had no faith in him. She dropped her daughter off home first after the signing of the contract before she took more fruits out from the dimension and headed over to the laboratory. She wanted to inventory of the medications that they had produced.

Hmm. She had a total of 569 bottles of Detoxification Pills and 717 bottles of White Jade Cream.

Fang JunRong also wanted to meet up with Jiang WenYu, her good workaholic employee.

Compared to the last time that she had seen him, Jiang WenYu was looking much better and his cheeks were beginning to fill out.

Seeing that, Fang JunRong decided to give the nutritionist a raise.

She handed the fruits over to Jiang WenYu and said, "Try these."

Just looking at the fruits, Jiang WenYu could tell that they were no normal fruits. There was even a soft glow around the green date. He rinsed and bit into one and his eyes lit up immediately.

After he had tried out every single type of fruits, Fang JunRong saw him put on his laboratory coat and carried the fruits with him toward his laboratory with a solemn look.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

Jiang WenYu said, "These fruits are better than any that I have ever had. And they even have the effect of lifting someone's spirit after consumption. I suspect that they have some unique elements that do not exist in other fruits.

"Or there had been some sort of mutations that I am not aware of."

He had a let-me-go-do-my-researchand I-can-perform-experiments-for-another-500-years look on him.

Fang JunRong, "......"

Yup, Jiang WenYu was, indeed, still that mad scientist! With these delicious mystical fruits in front of him, he was able to hold himself back and save the rest for experimentation purposes.

She rubbed her temples and said, "Just eat these. I have more where they come from. I'll send more over.

"You can research on the seeds as well."

It so happened that her daughter wanted to launch a beverage factory. If she could grow these mystical fruits in real life, they could totally use these as the raw ingredient – although that would be quite wasteful.

Mad scientist Jiang WenYu calmed down a little, sat down, and slowly devouring the remainder of the fruits.

He also looked very serious when he ate, as though he was performing some important work.

Fang JunRong wanted to laugh. This mad scientist in front of him did not sound like that villain boss described in the book at all. He was very passionate about her profession and would focus so much when he worked that he would forget to eat or sleep. And his personality was very simple and straightforward.

After he was done eating, something seemed to have occurred to him. "I have finished two thesis and had mailed them to Nature and Science."

Chapter 189 - Why Wouldn't Fang JunRong Keep These to Give Away as Favors Herself? (2)

As much as Fang JunRong were not familiar with this field, she was still aware of the two very well-known international publications. "I guess I should start getting ready to give you another raise."

Fang JunRong's faith in Jiang WenYu's ability was very obvious.

Most others would be humble when they received a compliment as such but Jiang WenYu, on the other hand, accepted it openly with a slight smile on his face.

From Fang JunRong's memory, as far as the book went, when Jiang WenYu first returned to the Zhang's, he got along fine with the others and the Zhang's were nice to him. Somewhere down the line, however, Jiang WenYu starting feeling envious toward Zhang Bi and began antagonizing him. It ultimately led to him trying to poison Zhang Bi.

From where she stood, Jiang WenYu's talent and ability were both above that of Zhang Bi's. Wy would he need to be envious of him?

The novel that she had read was written from Jiang YaGe's perspective. Inevitably, it would be affected by the way she perceived things. Jiang WenYu, as their enemy, naturally became the villain in the book.

Something just occurred to her all of a sudden. She seemed to have forgotten to mention to Jiang WenYu the fact that he was poisoned. Jiang WenYu seemed to have been so indulged in his experiments since his arrive that he seemed to have forgotten about it altogether. Fang JunRong attributed her forgetting about the incident to her being influenced by Jiang WenYu and all she could think about every time she visited him was work.

She said to him, "The poison in you when I met you most likely was a very specific kind of poison belonging to the Zhang's from Nanhu."

As someone in the medical field, Jiang WenYu immediately realized that the Zhang's she was referring to was the renowned medicine family. He frowned slightly. "I don't know them." In fact, he had never been in contact with anyone from that family.

"You somewhat resembled Zhang Bi in your looks, which was also why my investigation led me to them."

She came up with a good reason for herself.

Jiang WenYu went silent. He rubbed his nose and said, "It would seem that someone from that family did not want to see me alive."

"I just want you to know. You can think over what you want to do about it." She added, "Just let me know if you need anything."

Jiang WenYu touched his Maitreya around his neck reflexively. "Okay, I will."

He would for sure want to get down to the bottom of it someday. As for now, looking into his boss's fruits was more important.

As such, Jiang WenYu went back into his laboratory while Fang JunRong watched.

Her lips twitched and she decided to head back to her office and get some more work taken care of.

Watching how dedicated Jiang WenYu was made her feel that waste time was a sin.

For the sake of 1 million yuan a bottle, Fang JunRong felt that she should offer the rich fool customer Zhang ZhiYang VIP treatment. As such, she had every bottle nicely wrapped and made sure that they all looked very Tall, Big, and High Class.

Naturally, she had let Zhang ZhiYang know ahead of time the number of bottles that she has so he could have the money ready for her. With such quantity, even if she was nice enough to give him a 20% off discount, it would still cost him over a billion yuan. Ah, as kind and generous as she was, she would just round it down to a billion yuan.

She had heard that Zhang ZhiYang even sold a few of his properties to come up with the amount.

When January 12 came, she went to meet up with Zhang ZhiYang with a truck full of medicines on a dark and windy night.

Looking at the mountainous pile of boxes, Zhang ZhiYang looked like he was looking at an unrivaled beauty. His eyes were beaming and his voice quivered, "All of these?"

Fang JunRong nodded, "This pretty much emptied out all of my inventory."

Zhang ZhiYang felt that someone like Fang JunRong would not lie about something like this so he quickly transferred the money to her.

He said to her genuinely, "If you need any help in the future, do you hesitate to let me know." He paused and said, "I felt a sense of closeness to you ever since the first time we met. I've always wanted an older sister like you."

Oh boy! That again! Zhang ZhiYang's standard I-want-to-be-a-family-with-you move!

Chapter 190 - Why Wouldn't Fang JunRong Keep These to Give Away as Favors Herself? (3)

Fang JunRong didn't want an extra brother so she declined him immediately. "No need. I don't think my daughter will need an uncle that just a few years older than her."

Zhang ZhiYang was just saying it. Right now, his mind was entirely occupied by the medicines and he wanted to head home as soon as possible.

After receiving the money, Fang JunRong didn't want to bother putting up the front anymore and headed home as well.

Zhang ZhiYang had everything delivered to one of his houses, brought with him a bottle of Detoxification Pills and White Jade Cream and bought some small animals to experiment on.

Even though he had known about it, but when he seen it with his own eyes, he was still amazed by the effectiveness of the two medications. No wonder Zhang ZhiSu was able to make such a quick recovery.

Looking at the medicines, he felt rich, as though the entire world now belonged to him.

After he had experimented with them, Zhang ZhiYang immediately gave a set to Old Mr. Wang.

Old Mr. Wang had been a family friend for years. He left leg was handicapped 10 years ago and had been crippled since. Old Mr. Wang and him had always been close and had been supportive to him over the years. Except that Zhang ZhiSu had been trying to ostracize him lately and, with his status among the family continue to drop, Old Mr. Wang had been growing colder and colder toward him. He was eyeing a property a while back and wanted to have Old Mr. Wang keep an eye out for him but he was rejected.

A few days later, he received an invitation from Old Mr. Wang.

Old Mr. Wang was very emotional when he saw Zhang ZhiYang. "Do you have any more of that medication? I feel that my leg is starting to recover!"

After all these years, he had already given up hope. He didn't have any expectations when he received the medication from Zhang ZhiYang but figured it couldn't hurt anything. It, however, had brought him a big pleasant surprise.

Zhang ZhiYang gave him a very troubled look. "This medication is quite trick in its making process as it required a few rare herbs. The cost for its raw ingredients is arguably astronomical and it took me a lot of work to get my hands on just a few bottles." He did not have the formula for the drug but that did not stop him from talking it up. He did pay 1 million yuan for a bottle of them! Granted, its efficacy could justify its cost.

An idea did cross his mind briefly: Why didn't Fang JunRong save this miracle drug for building relationships with powerful individuals? With such items in hand, surely many people would be able to provide her with all sorts of convenience.

Probably because she knew that she would not be able to keep them. Just from possessing such items might bring her trouble and that was why she decided to hand them over to him? He couldn't think of any other reason beside that. He didn't think Fang JunRong was setting him up. Why would anyone give up such amazing things to set someone else up?

Old Mr. Wang said without hesitation. "I have been keeping an eye out on the piece of property that you are interested in." He gave him a loving smile. "I've watched you grew up and had always think of you as my own grandson."

Zhang ZhiYang was ecstatic and he, too, had a very passionate look on him. "I have always thought of you as my grandfather as well. Your problem is my problem. Never mind about one bottle. I can even give you two more."

He hadn't expected that the return for them would come so quickly. That was totally worth the amount that he had paid for them.
