On the market, the only medicine that could make wounds heal with such speed was Kang the Divine Doctor's wound salve—no wonder Kang Xiaofeng was astonished! He had never imagined Wei Zhao had such a medicine in his possession too!
"Heh, it should be about the same. I've never seen his, nor his formula, so I wouldn't dare say for certain, but the effect should be similar." Wei Zhao nodded.
Kang Xiaofeng was dumbstruck! At this moment, he finally understood why Wei Zhao was so confident and so certain in supporting him and Kang Jingming in their break with his Second Grandfather's household!
Earlier, when Wei Zhao had said he could make Kang Xiaofeng an equal to his Second Grandfather, Kang Xiaofeng had not quite believed it. Yet at the time, for the sake of face, he had still spoken those bold words of ambition!
Kang Xiaofeng had been somewhat uneasy at first, unsure whether his grand declarations would end up a laughingstock. But now he knew—they would not!
If Wei Zhao also had a formula for something like the wound-salve, then he was fully entitled to stand on equal footing with Second Grandpa. Kang Shenyi Pharmaceutical Company—the only thing that actually made money was the wound-salve!
"Boss, you're amazing—where did you get the formula? My Second Grandpa guarded his formula like his life depended on it; even Grandpa didn't know about it!" Kang Xiaofeng sighed as he said this. "My grandpa was a fool too. He never even went to check where the formula was kept, and in the end my Second Grandpa stole it!"
"I made it myself," Wei Zhao said with a shrug. Kang Xiaofeng was about to become his spokesman, so there was no harm in letting him in on a few core secrets.
"Made it... yourself?" Kang Xiaofeng's eyes went wide with shock! Wei Zhao could concoct a formula like that on his own? Just how formidable was he?
"All right, so long as you know. Whatever you do, don't breathe a word of it." Wei Zhao patted Kang Xiaofeng on the shoulder. "I have personal reasons of my own for not wanting to step forward just yet, so as far as the outside world is concerned, this company belongs to you and Grandpa Guan."
"Don't worry, Boss! I won't say a thing!" Hearing that Wei Zhao trusted him like a spokesman, Kang Xiaofeng was instantly moved. He nodded and said, "Xiaofen and I won't say anything..."
"That part you can say..." Wei Zhao broke into a sweat. "Xiaofen's legs—sooner or later I'll have to deal with those too, so it's fine to tell her. Just keep it within a small circle of our own people."
"Boss, I've realized that the wisest decision of my entire life was that day when I got it into my head to go up to the rooftop with you and help you fight..." Kang Xiaofeng said with feeling. "If I hadn't had that moment of madness, you wouldn't be looking after me like this..."
Kang Xiaofeng had a degree of self-awareness. He knew he was of little use—in Wei Zhao's eyes, he was no help at all. If there was one thing that had made Wei Zhao regard him more highly, it was that one time...
Still, Kang Xiaofeng was quite right. It really was because of that one time, when Kang Xiaofeng had been able to step forward in a fit of hotheadedness, that Wei Zhao had counted him as a brother!
Just after transferring schools, on the very first day of class, few people would stand up for you out of a bit of loyalty. Kang Xiaofeng might have been driven partly by recklessness and a hot head, but Wei Zhao had still been deeply moved!
