Chapter 3158 — Tianchan's Heart's Desire
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
With her outstanding theoretical knowledge and poised, well-bred bearing, Xiao Taohong passed every test with flying colors and became Kang Xiaofeng's new secretary! Kang Xiaofeng was delighted with this newly selected secretary, and even Fatso Lai looked on with envy. Fatso Lai's own secretary had been a hire through connections, and she too had resigned this time. But Xiao Taohong had applied for the post of vice president's secretary, not the president's, so Fatso Lai could hardly snatch her away.
Thus, on the very first day after being hired, Xiao Taohong took up her post. Her formidable professional knowledge made Kang Xiaofeng regard her with new eyes, and he came to rely on her more and more...
As for Xiao Taohong's successful ascent, Kang Jingming was utterly thrilled. Above all, as Xiao Taohong came to be trusted more and more by Kang Xiaofeng, Kang Jingming felt that the day he laid hands on the first-grade pill cauldron was not far off!
Because Tianchan's file had prejudiced her in his favor, Xiao Taohong's impression of Kang Xiaofeng was very good. Once she was at the company, since her work made her answerable to Kang Xiaofeng alone, she came into contact with him every day. Gradually and half-unwittingly, she began to pay ever more attention to Kang Xiaofeng.
What disappointed Kang Jingming, however, was that the reports Xiao Taohong sent back had almost nothing to do with the first-grade automatic pill cauldron. The work and financial statements Kang Xiaofeng handled each day likewise had no connection whatsoever to the first-grade automatic pill cauldron!
Either the finished first-grade automatic pill cauldrons were not routed through the department Kang Xiaofeng oversaw, or the first-grade automatic pill cauldron was simply not produced by Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals at all! As Xiao Taohong came to be trusted more and more by Kang Xiaofeng, she was exposed to more and more of Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals' core secrets, even coming into contact with certain raw materials and costs for products like painkillers and wound medicine. Yet there was not the slightest scrap of news about the first-grade automatic pill cauldron.
Of course, the reports Xiao Taohong made were all vetted by Tianchan. Tianchan always made sure that the tidbits passed on to Kang Jingming looked precious but were in fact utterly useless.
For instance, she would single out several of the most ordinary raw materials used in wound medicine and painkillers, the sort anyone could guess at, and have Xiao Taohong tell Kang Jingming of those, so that he would suspect nothing.
As for news of the first-grade automatic pill cauldron, Xiao Taohong truly had none to obtain. It was not that she was deliberately holding anything back!
After some time spent probing, Kang Jingming gradually lost patience. After all, he had begun to suspect that the first-grade automatic pill cauldron might not be manufactured by Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals at all, but produced solely by the Liu family.
Thinking it over now, it really did seem possible. Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals was merely a name on paper. The first-grade automatic pill cauldron was electronic equipment, whereas Guan Dafu Pharmaceuticals produced medicinal materials!
And according to Kang Jingming's investigations, the Liu family did own an electronics company. It had formerly specialized in computer components, and now turning to the manufacture of first-grade automatic pill cauldrons was quite plausible!
