"Young Master Ming, your pressing task now is not to find the formula for the Longevity Detox Pill — that can wait. Have you forgotten the new assignment Young Master Kang Jinglong gave you? To obtain the formula and the raw-material supply channels for Doctor Guan's Trauma Medicine!" Wang Shubin said. "If you can simply dig up those two things, that alone is a great merit! As for the Longevity Detox Pill formula, we'll think of something in due course."
"Hmm... that's true enough. The trauma medicine is of little importance, and Kang Xiaofeng should know the formula and the supply channels!" Kang Jingming nodded. "In that case, it's a workable plan. Tomorrow I'll go find Kang Xiaofeng and have a proper talk with him, and coax the formula and the raw-material supply channels out of him!"
"Young Master Ming, you must hold two things firmly in mind. First, play the family card — make certain Kang Xiaofeng understands that the rise and fall of the Kang family is the duty of every Kang descendant! You may promise him certain benefits — say, a share of Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company once you have the Kang family in hand, and so forth. It's all idle talk in any case; who knows when you'll actually have the Kang family in hand!" Wang Shubin advised. "Second, you must also give him some benefit he can see right now. Didn't you already give Xiaofen a sum of money? You can say that was given out of regard for him, Kang Xiaofeng. This time, give Kang Xiaofeng a little money as well — otherwise, seeing no immediate profit, I fear he won't cooperate."
"Mm, you make sense!" Kang Jingming nodded. "I understand. Shubin, you truly deserve to be called my strategist. I had thought there was no way out and was ready to slink home and take my scolding — I never imagined you'd have so many ideas!"
"Heh heh, devising strategies for you is my duty, Young Master Ming!" Wang Shubin said with a rather smug smile.
Every afternoon, Kang Xiaofeng went to Divine Physician Kang Pharmaceutical Company for his internship. This had already been arranged with his homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu; seeing that Kang Xiaofeng had such a promising future before him, Mr. Liu naturally would not stand in his way.
What was the point of attending university? Was it not to learn a few skills and then use the diploma to find a good job? Now Kang Xiaofeng had skipped that step entirely and landed a good job outright, so Mr. Liu, his homeroom teacher, naturally had nothing more to say.
Kang Jingming had already learned Kang Xiaofeng's daily routine inside and out. The moment Kang Xiaofeng stepped out of school at noon, Kang Jingming poked his head out of the rear window of his Porsche Cayenne: "Little brother! Over here!"
At first, Kang Xiaofeng did not think the voice was meant for him. It sounded somewhat familiar, but who would run to the gate of his school and call him little brother? So he paid it no mind.
But the voice called out again: "Xiaobo, over here!"
Only then did Kang Xiaofeng take notice. He looked up and saw that it was Kang Jingming, and he was startled on the spot, his expression turning a little unnatural. Last time, he and Wei Zhao had thoroughly set Kang Jingming up at Xiaofen's house. He did not know whether Kang Jingming had caught on that it was he and Wei Zhao who had pulled that trick, so Kang Xiaofeng's first instinct was that Kang Jingming had come to settle accounts.
