Kang Jinglong could not accept it. He was the family head! Before the Yanjing auction, the words his grandfather had spoken to him still echoed in his ears, yet now the position of family head had passed to his own younger brother, Kang Jingming! He could not accept it - truly could not!
"Since Zhaoming speaks with such confidence, and this was his idea in the first place, then the task of investigating the formula for the Life-Extending Detoxification Pill shall be placed in Zhaoming's hands!" Kang Jinglong offered a faint smile, wearing an expression that said "I have faith in you," and said to Kang Jingming: "Zhaoming, the hope of the Kang family's rise to prominence rests on your shoulders!"
"This... of course, no problem!" At this moment Kang Jingming had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. Even if Kang Jinglong hadn't said it, these matters had always been his to handle - there was no way they could hand them to someone else. So he might as well agree upfront!
In any case, the aim of striking at Kang Jinglong this time had already been achieved!
"Good, Zhaoming, you show such responsibility - I am very pleased!" Divine Doctor Kang nodded, saying happily: "In that case, the matter is settled. Guifeng, you go cultivate relations with the Xiao family, while Zhaoming investigates the formula for the Life-Extending Detoxification Pill! Zhaolong, think of a way to quickly sell off the Doctor Guan trauma medicine in the warehouse! Our Kang family's funds are tied up far too heavily - even if we get our hands on the formula for the Life-Extending Detoxification Pill, it will require enormous sums to develop it!"
"Yes!" The several of them answered in unison.
As for Kang Cuipu, he had nothing left to do. But a man like him was already past saving for this lifetime, and there was no need to prove himself any further. Now that his son Kang Jingming had earned Divine Doctor Kang's favor and was quietly designated the next head of the Kang family, Kang Cuipu - the father who had gained status through his son - could go on being the old idler he had always been.
Leisurely days always slipped away between one's fingers. In those days, the villa was filled everywhere with the bright laughter of Feng Xiaoxiao, the Eldest Miss, and Little Shu.
In the blink of an eye, the day of Xu Shilan's concert arrived. The Eldest Miss, Little Shu, Yunyun, and Xiaoxiao had been looking forward to this day for a very long time.
Xu Shilan could be called an idol to countless young people - boys adored her, and so did girls! This was not merely because she was beautiful, with a sweet voice and a lovely singing voice, but also because of her purity. Since her debut, she had not a single scandal, and no compromising photographs or videos of her had ever surfaced.
In this era when a single undressing could catapult you to fame, Xu Shilan was indeed an anomaly! Yet the Xu Shilan who never undressed remained far more popular than those who did - which in truth proved that most people still preferred their celebrities pure.
"Xiao Han, how are you feeling? If it really isn't workable, we can announce the concert is cancelled?" Sister Wang gazed at Xu Shilan with concern, at her complexion somewhat pale.
"I'm fine, Sister Wang. I just need a little rest! The fans have already arrived - some of them even rushed here from out of town. If we cancel the concert, they'll be heartbroken!" Xu Shilan shook her head with a bitter smile: "I'm fine. I'll grit my teeth and push through."
"Mm, but don't push yourself too hard. If you really can't hold on, pause the show. I'll find an excuse - a costume change or a stage malfunction - to stall for a while," Sister Wang said. "Understood, Xiao Han?"
"I understand. Don't worry, Sister Wang, I'm not a child anymore." Xu Shilan offered a faint smile and said.
