Xiao Ji went upstairs and pushed open the door to Gou Huli's room. These past two days he had not shared a bed with her; he had banished her to the guest room to sleep alone, and had not given her a kind look either.
Gou Huli knew that distinguished guests had come to the Xiao family these past two days, but since Xiao Ji would not tell her the details, she dared not ask. Every day she stayed in her room watching TV dramas and did not dare go out. Now, seeing Xiao Ji push the door open, she was overjoyed and scrambled to her feet. "Brother Ji, you've come..."
"Huli! I've neglected you these past few days. You're not angry, are you?" Xiao Ji looked at Gou Huli with a smile, and the more he looked, the more pleasing she seemed. She had aged, no longer as fresh and tender as in her youth, but the more he looked, the more interested he became.
"How would I dare?" Gou Huli was startled, and said in a trembling, deferential voice, "I'm the one at fault. I'm only glad you don't blame me, Brother Ji. How would I dare be angry?"
"Heh heh, what fault do you have? You did exactly right!" Xiao Ji waved a hand and laughed heartily. "That whole series of things you did, looking at it now, was truly wonderful! If you hadn't knocked Pi Bo silly, the hidden Pi family would never have sent their best men, and we'd never have gotten to work with them. Now our Xiao family's standing has shot up faster than a rocket!"
"Ah?" Gou Huli was stunned; she thought Xiao Ji was speaking ironically, but his expression did not look like it. So she ventured cautiously, "Is that so... then Heaven is looking after the Xiao family, letting us find fortune in misfortune!"
"Yes, that's right, well said. Heaven looks after the Xiao family!" Xiao Ji laughed. "But now that our Xiao family is riding high, you shouldn't keep a low profile anymore. When it's time to be flashy, be flashy; that's the only way to show how formidable the Xiao family is. In this life, one has to be a bit arrogant!"
"I understand!" Gou Huli was overjoyed. Showing off and putting on airs were her favorite things in the world; when she heard that Xiao Ji really meant for her to go out and show off, she was beside herself with delight!
In the blink of an eye it was the first of May, the day of the Guan Xuewen Pharmaceutical Company's new product press conference!
Lately the fame of the Guan Xuewen Pharmaceutical Company had been at its zenith. Especially after they resolved the mass poisoning of the students at First High School, every sector of society was waiting for the company to roll out a powerful new product; expectations for the Guan Xuewen Pharmaceutical Company were very high!
Wei Zhao did not attend the press conference as a staff member, nor as a guest. He slipped in quietly, just like any of the onlookers.
Because the press conference was being held in an open-air plaza, Fatty Lai had not barred ordinary citizens from gathering to watch, though professional security guards had been hired to keep order.
Wei Zhao attended the press conference together with Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao. Xiaoshu had wanted to come along for the fun, but the Young Mistress dragged her off to the supermarket to buy supplies for their road trip.
Though Xiaoshu was a little unhappy about it, considering Feng Xiaoxiao's illness, she had no choice but to give way for now.
"Hubby Wei Zhao, I never imagined you'd be this amazing. This pharmaceutical company is actually yours!" Feng Xiaoxiao had already learned the truth about the company from Tang Zhi, and she said excitedly, "When I get home I'll tell my father to buy their military medical supplies from your company. No more of that expensive wound medicine from the Kang the Divine Doctor Pharmaceutical Company!"
