"I'll go! I'll go tomorrow!" Jiang Chen's response surprised everyone and made his presence felt! Just a moment ago, everyone's attention was on Zhao Xiaolong, but now they all turned to look at Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, what are you going to do at their pharmacy?" Lin Jingzhu asked, feeling something was off after her initial surprise. Jiang Chen couldn't possibly be going to work at the pharmacy.
"Just to be a helper!" Zhao Xiaolong interjected proudly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingzhu felt a sense of unease; the smug expression she had just moments ago vanished. She knew that Zhao Xiaolong was getting a bit too carried away.
"Hehe, let's talk about it after I go tomorrow!" Jiang Chen seemed unwilling to embarrass Zhao Xiaolong. Let him enjoy his moment for now! Since his father was a highly respected physician, Jiang Chen decided not to make things awkward for Zhao Xiaolong.
Lin Jingzhu sighed in relief and decided to further introduce Jiang Chen to Zhao Xiaolong to prevent him from saying something inappropriate again.
"Xiaolong, Jiang Chen is now the chairman of the company; he won't be working as a helper at your pharmacy!"
"Chairman of the company? What company?" Zhao Xiaolong began to feel embarrassed. Damn, I asked him to be a helper when he's a company chairman. But it seems like he agreed?
"Dongsheng Group!" Jiang Chen said slowly, his tone very calm.
Dongsheng Group? Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. Although this group was new, it was quite large and well-known. Even students who were usually oblivious to outside affairs had heard of it. After all, everyone needed clothes.
Zhao Xiaolong knew about this company but didn't expect the chairman of Dongsheng Group to be so young! Is this for real? He looked at Lin Jingzhu with suspicion.
"Jiang Chen, wasn't your company called Dongsheng Company? Why is it called Dongsheng Group now?" Lin Jingzhu seemed unaware that Jiang Chen had established Dongsheng Group.
"It used to be Dongsheng Company; now it has developed into Dongsheng Group. After acquiring Wan's Group and Nangang Company, I established Dongsheng Group!" Jiang Chen explained briefly.
Damn, he really is the chairman of a group company; that's way more impressive than being just a young master of a small pharmacy! The sense of superiority Zhao Xiaolong had just moments ago vanished instantly.
The other girls also stopped feeling envy towards Lin Jingzhu and instead looked at her with pity.
"Now we should call you Director Jiang; come on, let me toast you!" A girl sitting next to Jiang Chen raised her glass in salute.
Jiang Chen accepted without hesitation.
The other girls followed suit and toasted Jiang Chen as well. Zhao Xiaolong suddenly felt a bit neglected.
After the girls finished their toasts, Teacher Zhu also came over to toast. He didn't expect that the former "dishwasher" would become so impressive! He needed to curry favor with him.
Of course, Jiang Chen's attitude was indifferent; he clinked glasses but wasn't enthusiastic. The reason wasn't that Jiang Chen was arrogant but because Teacher Zhu was one of those who assisted Zhang Lin in setting up Teacher Gong last time.
After the banquet ended, Zhao Xiaolong pretended to be generous and called the waiter over to settle the bill.
"No need; I've already taken care of it!" Jiang Chen said loudly.
"Ah, Director Jiang has already settled the bill?" Zhao Xiaolong exclaimed, a mix of surprise and delight crossing his face, tinged with a hint of embarrassment. After all, it was his girlfriend treating everyone, while the other guys were expected to chip in. However, saving on such a hefty bill was certainly a good thing.
With the bill taken care of, the eight of them exited the private room and made their way to the hotel entrance.
"Director Jiang, what car do you drive? I have a Benz. Since they don’t have cars, let’s take four people per vehicle!" Zhao Xiaolong clearly had driven himself.
"I don’t have a car, I’m sorry!" Jiang Chen replied apologetically to the group.
"What? You don’t have a car?" Disappointment washed over everyone; how could a chairman of a corporation not own a vehicle? This meant that at least two of the girls wouldn’t be able to get a ride—Teacher Zhu should definitely get priority!
Jiang Chen smiled, "I’ve ordered a car, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Let’s just take a taxi! Which two female classmates would like to share a taxi with me?"
Surprisingly, all four girls opted not to ride with Zhao Xiaolong and insisted on taking a taxi with Jiang Chen. However, since taxis couldn’t accommodate that many people, one relatively quiet girl ended up taking Zhao Xiaolong's car.
The next morning, Jiang Chen indeed arrived at Jishi Pharmacy. He noticed a long line in front of the clinic next door. It seemed that Zhao Xianyi had quite the reputation; the number of patients seeking his services spoke volumes.
Upon entering the pharmacy, Jiang Chen didn’t see Zhao Xiaolong. That was to be expected; he hadn’t mentioned coming to greet him last night.
A few staff members were present, and Jiang Chen handed one of them a list. The staff member took one look at it and was taken aback—the list was filled with precious medicinal herbs, particularly requesting a century-old Ganoderma and a Millennium Ginseng!
Seeing Jiang Chen’s youth, the staff member was puzzled as to why he needed such expensive herbs and asked, "Young man, these herbs will cost you over ten million yuan. We might not have the century-old Ganoderma or Millennium Ginseng in stock; I’ll need to check with our boss."
"Don’t worry about the cost! Your boss is Zhao Xianyi, right? Just go ask him quickly!" Jiang Chen knew that the pharmacy staff had likely never encountered such a large order before.
The staff member agreed and hurried off to the clinic next door.
Inside the clinic, Zhao Xianyi was attending to patients with two assistants. Typically, if an issue could be resolved by his assistants alone, he wouldn’t need to step in. He only intervened when they faced particularly challenging cases—a rare occurrence.
So when the pharmacy staff member approached Zhao Xianyi, he had time to find out what was going on. Upon seeing the order slip handed over by the staff member, he was taken aback.
"This person is impressive; please invite him to my reception room!" Zhao Xianyi instructed.
The staff member nodded and returned to the pharmacy while Zhao Xianyi made his way to his reception room.
Back at the pharmacy, the staff member brought Jiang Chen into Zhao Xianyi's reception room and introduced them. "Young man, this is our boss Zhao Xianyi! President Zhao, this order is from him!"
Oh, so young? Zhao Xianyi clearly hadn’t expected that. He instructed the staff member to return to his post and temporarily set aside other matters.
"Young man, please have a seat! Is this order yours? What’s your name?" Zhao Xianyi asked, clearly assuming that Jiang Chen was merely delivering an order for someone else.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, my name is Jiang Chen!" Jiang Chen replied honestly.
"Oh, Xiao Jiang! Tell me who wrote this order and what you need these herbs for," Zhao Xianyi said eagerly, curious about who could have penned such an impressive list.
"Mr. Zhao, I wrote this list! As for its purpose, can I not say?"
"You wrote this?" Zhao Xianyi seemed a bit incredulous upon hearing this. "You are young and look healthy, showing no signs of illness. These herbs, from what I can see, only serve to prolong life. Why would you need these herbs? If they were cheap, it wouldn't matter if you wasted a little. But this is worth over ten million!"
