Chapter 752 — Visitors from the Yu Family

When Tang's mother heard that Wei Zhao would be accompanying her, she was naturally reassured beyond measure. Li Cihua was so terrified of Wei Zhao—surely tomorrow they could squeeze out a bit more money? From the tone Su Jiaonang had used just now, it seemed the compensation figure might still be negotiable?

Wei Zhao, for his part, did not take the matter to heart. Back at school, he saw that the young lady and Shen Yushu were both in the classroom, and only then did he feel at ease.

Lately Wei Zhao had the sense that these were troubled times, and that it was best to be careful.

And Wei Zhao's instinct was not wrong—because at this very moment, in the office building of Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals, in Fat Lai's office, an unexpected guest had arrived!

Although Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals' products had not yet officially hit the market, the company had already taken shape, having been wholly restructured from the former trading company with only a few new departments added. For a veteran operator like Fat Lai, this was child's play.

After accompanying Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi's family to buy a house, Fat Lai had returned to Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals.

Having just used the poisoning incident at First High School to make Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals' name known, Fat Lai was preparing to press the advantage and launch the company's first product, "Guan Dafu Wound Medicine," onto the market!

Fat Lai intended to draw up a marketing plan and wanted to convene a meeting with the company's senior executives, but just as he got back to the office, his secretary's call came through.

"President Lai, there's a client who wishes to see you. He says he's come from Yanjing to discuss a partnership with our company..." the secretary said. "What do you think..."

"I'm back at the company now. Where is he?" Fat Lai was taken aback. Their product had not even launched, and already someone had come to discuss cooperation?

Still, over this period Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals' reputation had grown resoundingly, and it had shone brilliantly at the Yanjing auction. If this client really had come from Yanjing, that was not out of the question!

"He's in the VIP client room next to the general manager's office." Here the secretary lowered her voice. "President Lai, this client... he looks very young?"

"Ha, age is no symbol of strength. Let me have a look first." Fat Lai thought to himself, wasn't Wei Zhao young too? And yet his strength was formidable indeed!

Fat Lai entered the company, and the employees greeted him one after another. Though the company was called "Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals," the staff here well knew that day-to-day authority rested in Fat Lai's hands, and they all held him in awe.

Fat Lai took the elevator up, and without lingering, went straight into the VIP client room. This was the first client to come seeking cooperation, and Fat Lai felt he had to show some regard, whatever else.

Seeing Fat Lai enter, the secretary hurriedly rose to greet him. "President Lai, you're here. This is the client from Yanjing, Mr. Yu..."

Mr. Yu? Fat Lai's gaze sharpened! The visitor was actually surnamed Yu? Could he be from the Yu family of Yanjing? The Yu family coming to seek cooperation with him?

Fat Lai nodded and said to the secretary without betraying any expression, "Mm, I understand. You may go about your business."

"Yes, Mr. Lai." The secretary poured the tea and set it before Fat Lai and Mr. Yu, then withdrew from the reception room.

"President Lai, I take it?" The young man surnamed Yu appeared rather lofty. He did not rise, but glanced calmly at Lai Changshan and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yu Kun. Here is my card."

With that, Yu Kun took out his business card and handed it to Fat Lai.

Fat Lai was not bothered by Yu Kun's lofty manner. He was a businessman, long accustomed to keeping his feelings hidden, and he accepted Yu Kun's card with a smile, glancing at what was written there: Yu Clan Trading, Assistant to the General Manager, Yu Kun.

Yu Clan Trading? This time Fat Lai had no further doubts—this Yu Kun was indeed from the Yu family! In that case, a somewhat arrogant manner was only natural!

A member of the Yu family—head of the Four Great Families and the Five Minor Families. Anyone who came from there was bound to possess a certain sense of lofty superiority.

"Assistant Yu Kun, how do you do!" Fat Lai rose with a smile and shook hands with Yu Kun, while inwardly sneering: No need to put on airs with me. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west—one day your Yu family will come running to hold my shoes. And when that day comes, you'll have to get my approval first, little brother that I am!

I refuse to believe the Yu family is all that remarkable. Are you all immortal monsters, exempt from sickness, aging, and death? As long as you fall ill and no one else can cure you, and you want to live, you will come begging to me, won't you?

Yu Kun still did not rise. He merely sat there and extended a hand to shake Fatty Lai's. "There is no need for idle talk. Let us get to the point."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Yu." Fatty Lai nodded and sat down opposite Yu Kun, wearing the look of one all ears.

"Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals' Longevity Detox Pills and the deluxe edition of your Trauma Medicine both shone brilliantly at our Yu family's auction. I hear your new product is about to hit the market? Called Guan Daifu Trauma Medicine?" Yu Kun asked mildly.

"That is correct. We are in the final stages of preparation and should launch it in the near future." Fatty Lai did not conceal anything; these were matters he had already stated at media briefings, and there was no need for secrecy.

"Mm. Your Longevity Detox Pills and deluxe Trauma Medicine both met with favorable responses, but how this Trauma Medicine will fare is still unknown, is it not?" Yu Kun glanced at Fatty Lai and spoke with a condescending air.

"Heh heh, naturally. For a product not yet on the market, no one can say for certain how it will perform." Fatty Lai's smile remained broad, yet inwardly he was thoroughly displeased with this Yu Kun. Who the hell do you think you are? You dare question whether the boss's Trauma Medicine has prospects? You idiot—if you were not from the Yu family, I would have kicked you out of this reception room myself.

"It seems Mr. Lai is a clever man as well. This time, I come on behalf of the Yu family, prepared to grant your Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals a favor." Yu Kun gave Fatty Lai a faint glance. "However, before that, Mr. Lai must answer a few questions of mine truthfully."

"Oh? What questions?" Fatty Lai grew even more irritated. Is this Yu Kun brain-dead? Coming to grant me a favor? With that attitude of his, what favor could he possibly offer? How did the Yu family send such a fool over?

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the Yu family sending Yu Kun. He was one of the outstanding members of the Yu family's third generation, already possessing the strength of the peak of the late Yellow Rank—absolutely a formidable talent among the younger generation!
