Chapter 1221 — The Kang Family's New Probe

"I told him nothing, of course. I said I was only a vice president in charge of channel sales; on the production side it was Fatty Lai who ran things, and on the research side Professor Guan personally oversaw everything, so I knew nothing about any of it," Kang Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Mm. But if he wants to keep fishing for information — if he wants to keep handing you money — then there's no need to refuse," Wei Zhao said, smiling.
"Naturally. When a fat sheep comes offering me money, why would I turn it down?" Kang Xiaofeng nodded. "Oh, right — when I told him I handled sales, Kang Jingming started asking me instead about the factory price of our Doctor Guan trauma medicine. From the sound of it, he seemed to want to place a bulk order?"
"A bulk order?" Wei Zhao was startled.
"Yes. I wondered whether they meant to buy up our product, then repackage it and sell it themselves," Kang Xiaofeng said.
"That's possible. But let's wait and see. If they want to buy, let them buy — the factory price is out of the question. They can go find a wholesaler themselves," Wei Zhao said indifferently.
If the Kang family really did such a thing, then once their Golden Wound Medicine was put on the market, it would hand him a perfect chance to strike at them. They would be courting their own destruction! All he had to do was make the news public at the right moment, and the Kang family's pharmaceutical group would be stripped of its good name!
Wei Zhao did not believe that Divine Doctor Kang could be so muddled as to do such a thing.
"Mm, fine. If that Kang Jingming kid comes up with anything else, I'll tell you straight away," Kang Xiaofeng said with a nod.
Kang Xiaofeng turned back around. The physics teacher had come in and was preparing to begin the lesson, so Wei Zhao naturally had to set aside the topic of the star and listen attentively.
And Feng Xiaoxiao seemed to savor this time spent in class with Wei Zhao: deskmates, sweethearts. That exquisite feeling was the finest experience a life could hold, and in the last stretch of her own life, Feng Xiaoxiao naturally did not want to miss any of it.
At noon, Wei Zhao went with Feng Xiaoxiao, Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu to a private room on the second floor of the school cafeteria. With so many of them, it was hardly appropriate to eat in the school's public dining hall; some things were better left unsaid, and they would only give others a spectacle to laugh at.
The cafeteria manager knew Gu Mengyao, the young lady of the family, of course, so when Gu Mengyao made a request, he naturally cleared out a private room on the second floor for her, and it became her own private room every day thereafter.
Though Gu Mengyao disliked the privileges of rich young ladies, for Feng Xiaoxiao's sake she had to use one this time. Otherwise — Wei Zhao with a first wife on his left and a second wife on his right, and herself and Xiaoshu also together with him — a whole nest of beauties; anyone who did not know them would think heaven knows what.
"Xiaoxiao, is your health all right? When I heard yesterday that you had fainted, Xiaoshu and I were badly frightened!" On the surface, Gu Mengyao still knew nothing of Feng Xiaoxiao's imminent death, for the moment at least, Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi had found no chance to tell them.
"It's nothing..." Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Probably anemia?"
