The Crazy Son-In-Law

Over the next few days, except for the two hours when he would mentor Song Linger on her practice, he had been working on his formula.

Finally, his efforts paid off.

He had his first jar of pills. Next, he needed only a few more refinements to maximize the utilization of the herbs for best results. After all, it’s all about cost.

As for Yao Cen, with the help of the assistant of Song Zhenahi and his connections, they had dealt with most of the paperwork in no time.

They had even managed to get some of the technicians that had been working in the factory back.

After they overhauled all the equipment in the factory, they might get started.

It’s no small business they were handling now and Yao Cen needed a few people she could trust, so she recruited her assistant, Mai Yaqin, and a few colleagues who were close to her when she was at Tulip International. Although none of them had any experience with the industry, they were more than capable of doing some administrative tasks.

They also needed a new sales team though.

Before the company went bankrupt, its original sales team’s salary was overdue for almost a year, and at this point, it had again been almost a year since the company’s bankruptcy, so most people had long had new jobs.

Moreover, the entire pharmaceutical industry was basically a monopoly of several domestic companies, so a new product would not be so readily accepted. Marketing would be difficult, so that’s not for everyone.

Soon, another half a month was gone and it got a bit chilly and even Xiao Shun added a black jacket to his usual white shirt.

At the front of the general manager’s office, Xiao Shun pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a thermos and smiling.

“President Yao, what are you busy with?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Yao Cen scrolled her eyes at him and said, “Are you checking on me?”

“Your mom got you some soup, and she asked me to take it to you. come and have some.”

Xiao Shun put the thermos on the coffee table at the side of the office and took out a small bowl.

She didn’t feel much when he said “your mom” in the past but now it sounded a bit awkward.

Although now Liu Yunxiang and Xiao Shun’s relationship had eased somewhat, it was still reasonable if he could not change the way he called her for the time being.

She did feel a little tired too. She stretched, got up and walked over and took a few gentle sips.

Xiao Shun looked at her face and asked, “What? Is something wrong?”

“We’ve hired a lot of people now. Management is messy and we lose things from time to time. You know, I’ve only managed small companies like Tulip International before, and managing such a big company is a little hard for me.”

Yao Cen said with a sigh.

“Just take your time and don’t put so much pressure on yourself.”

Xiao Shun was not good at encouraging, so he didn’t know what to say.

But when she mentioned that they had lost something, he suddenly thought of Long San. He had not heard from him for quite a while and he wondered how he had been doing lately. He had offered him a position.

Yao Cen squeezed out a tired smile and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t ruin this company.”

After he left Yao Cen’s office, Xiao Shun dialed Long San’s number, but no one answered his call, and he felt something might have happened to him.

He had so he took a taxi straight to where Long San lived.

Fortune Star was a thirty year old residential area. The buildings were densely populated and even the walls were pealing off and the handrails were all rusty.

The old and narrow staircase was filled with the vicissitudes of the years. Xiao Shun arrived just as a neighbour was getting married and a long row of luxury cars were parked in front of the dilapidated entrance. It looked rather abrupt.

Following the address Long San gave him, he went straight to his door. He looked around. The stairs were littered with debris and the whole place was cluttered.

He knocked on the door and no one came out.

He knocked again, and it remained quiet.

With his keen senses, he heard someone inside, but no one came to the door, and he could detect a hint of fear.

Were they afraid that I might be a bad guy? It was impossible. Even if there were any bad guys, Long San should not be the one to be afraid.

“Long San, it’s Xiao Shun.” he said.

Still, the people in the house did not come out.

He checked the address again and looked up at the plate.

It was the right place. Since they wouldn’t open the door, he couldn’t just barge in. He had to give up. When he just wanted to go back, a figure appeared at the stairway, and it was none other than Long San. It had been a few days. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and he was wearing an overly fit jacket. When he saw Xiao Shun, he called out with some surprise, “Mr. Xiao?”

“What’s wrong? Did they do it?” Xiao Shun asked.

Long San shook his head with a bitter smile, “Let’s get in before we talk.”

He went up and opened the door and what greeted them was a strong smell of medicine.

Xiao Shun walked across the door and he saw an old woman lying on the bed, and a three- or four-year-old girl curled up next to her. She was gazing at him with a pair of big clear eyes somewhat nervously.

“She is my mother, and she is sick.” Long San introduced, “Hu, don’t be afraid, this is …”

“A friend of your father.” Xiao Shun took over.

“What happened to your mother?”

“Uremia. She needs a new kidney.”

Long San poured a glass of water to Xiao Shun, “Please sit down.”

“San, did you go to fight again? I don’t have much time left anyway. Why are you still wasting the money? What if something happens to you, Hu?” The old woman lifted her head hard and reprimanded with apparent tiredness.

“Mom, I’m fine. I’m back, so don’t worry.” Long San replied in a soft voice.

“What happened to your face?” Xiao Shun asked.

Long San subconsciously touched the bruise on his forehead and told Xiao Shun what had happened to him recently. He’s been hunted by Jung Yong Jang ever since he left him, so he had to hide.

He had a wife who used to work in a nightclub, but she had been a good wife when she was with him and she gave birth to Hu. But some time ago, she took almost all his money and left him. Moreover, he offended Zheng Yongzhang, so no one dared to hire him, and soon all his followers had left him.

Long San’s mother needed dialysis because of her illness, but he could no longer afford that cost. He had no choice but to go to Shadow Stage to make some money.

“If you were short of money, why didn’t you talk to me?” Long San became like this because he helped him, so of course he would help him if he told him. “I’m used to my tough life already, and it’s not a big deal. I can fix it myself.” Long San grinned and said.
