"The child's illness has recovered, so I shall take my leave!" Lu Fan cupped his fists. "As for the matters at your residence, I will deal with them when Elder Shen has time!"
"No rush, no rush!" Shen Tianlong pulled Lu Fan. "Divine Doctor Lu has helped us greatly, how can I not reward you handsomely!"
With that, Shen Tianlong produced a set of keys. "These are the keys to Sky Mansion Villa, I present them to Divine Doctor Lu!"
Director Zhao stood by, his eyes gleaming. Others might not know what Sky Mansion Villa represented, but he was well aware.
"Healing and saving lives is the doctor's true calling. Elder Shen is a veteran of the battlefield, I should naturally assist. As for this villa..." Lu Fan waved his hand.
"If Divine Doctor Lu does not accept, my heart will be uneasy!"
Shen Tianlong's expression was serious. "Please, Divine Doctor Lu, accept it. It is but a token of my sincerity!"
"Master, Elder Shen is bestowing this upon you, you should accept it!" Zhao Handong chuckled. "If not for Master, the child would have been in mortal danger!"
Lu Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding. Since it was the elder's heartfelt wish, he could not refuse.
After Lu Fan left, the entire Qingzhou Hospital was abuzz. Many people knew the significance of Sky Mansion Villa.
As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Zhao Handong smiled. "Master, you've earned greatly from this endeavor. Not only do you have Elder Shen's favor, but also Sky Mansion Villa!"
"Oh? Does Sky Mansion Villa have something special about it?" Lu Fan asked in surprise. "Tell me about it!"
"Within Qingzhou, there is a set of top-tier villas. Ordinary people are not qualified to purchase them. Only generals who have fought on the battlefield, or those who have rendered great service, have the opportunity!" Zhao Handong explained. "Sky Mansion Villa is not just a villa; it represents status!"
"I see!" Lu Fan nodded. "Elder Shen's gift is indeed substantial!"
"Naturally!" Zhao Handong nodded. "Within Qingzhou, countless people wish to befriend Elder Shen but have no opportunity. Yet, Elder Shen is exceptionally respectful towards Master!"
"Stop flattering me!" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "Be at work on time tomorrow. Tai Kang Pharmaceutical is just starting out and needs someone to oversee it!"
"Master, rest assured. I will have Xiao Sheng close the Divine Doctor's Clinic and accompany me to Tai Kang!" Zhao Handong patted his chest.
"You are quite filial!"
Lu Fan chuckled and then turned to hail a taxi.
Zhao Handong stood frozen, a sense of awkwardness rising within him. The word "filial" coming from Lu Fan's mouth felt rather strange.
The next day, after Lu Fan sent Lin Ke'er to school, he arrived at Tai Kang Pharmaceutical.
Tai Kang Pharmaceutical was now on track. Manager Chen was busy and looked quite weary. Upon seeing Lu Fan, he hurried forward. "Mr. Lu!"
"Mm," Lu Fan responded. "Take me to the medicinal herb workshop. How is the refining of the experimental product coming along?"
"Divine Doctor Zhao is overseeing it, so there shouldn't be any mistakes!" Manager Chen quickly said. "The medicinal herb workshop has an unpleasant smell, perhaps..."
"What, are you afraid I'll find something?"
Lu Fan was displeased. "The Heart Nurturing Pill's refining method was written by me. Even with Divine Doctor Zhao present, I must personally inspect it!"
"I understand. I'll lead the way immediately!" Manager Chen nodded hastily.
Shortly after arriving at the medicinal herb workshop, Lu Fan glanced at the refining Heart Nurturing Pills and nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Operate according to this procedure!"
"Master, this Heart Nurturing Pill is truly a remarkable item!"
Zhao Handong stepped forward. "If it enters the market, it will surely be a sensation!"
"That's precisely the effect we want!" Lu Fan nodded. "To become Qingzhou's number one pharmaceutical company, that is Tai Kang Pharmaceutical's goal!"
"Mr. Lu, Tai Kang Pharmaceutical has just begun. To become Qingzhou's number one pharmaceutical company, it shouldn't be too difficult within ten years!" Manager Chen said earnestly.
"Within one year, we will sweep through Qingzhou's pharmaceutical companies!" Lu Fan said with a light smile. "If we cannot achieve this, there is no need for Tai Kang Pharmaceutical to continue!"
"This..." Manager Chen was stunned, unsure how to respond.
Lu Fan paid him no mind and went to his office to review documents. He then asked, "How has Yang's Pharmaceutical been developing recently?"
"It has been developing rapidly and has become the leading pharmaceutical company in Qingzhou!" Manager Chen replied. "It will likely be a formidable opponent in the future!"
"Within one year, I want to see Yang's Pharmaceutical collapse!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "Do you have the confidence?"
"If Mr. Lu has the confidence, then I have the confidence!"
Manager Chen said quickly, breaking out in a cold sweat. He had no real confidence in his heart.
"That's good!" Lu Fan nodded. "Tai Kang Pharmaceutical is gradually coming to life. Are you encountering any other troubles in your work?"
"We need advertising for the medicinal herbs. The biggest shortage right now is advertising investment. Unfortunately, all the major advertising companies in Qingzhou are controlled by the Yang family..." Manager Chen explained earnestly.
"You don't need to worry about this. I can help you with it!"
Lu Fan waved his hand and made a call to Bai Xue, explaining the situation clearly before hanging up. "Someone will come to talk to you about advertising cooperation in the next few days. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to mention them. In one year, I want the Yang family bankrupt!"
After saying this, Lu Fan left the company, like a hands-off manager.
Manager Chen wore a bitter expression. Lu Fan was full of drive, but taking down the Yang family within a year was like dreaming.
In a certain skyscraper in Qingzhou, Yang Jiaqi was drinking coffee and looking at the documents in her hand.
"Vice President, Tai Kang Pharmaceutical has a new person in charge. Should we target them?"
A man asked, "Although they don't pose a threat to the company, having another pharmaceutical company will still have some impact on our business!"
"No need. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can contend with Yang's!" Yang Jiaqi put down the documents and slowly sipped her coffee.
Lu Fan left the company and waited at Qingzhou University, appearing to have nothing to do.
Lin Ke'er, with her pure demeanor, walked out of the school. "Brother Lu Fan, you're quite punctual today!"
"I'll be graduating soon, so of course, I have to be punctual!" Lu Fan smiled. "Let's head back! I have some good news to tell you."
"What good news?" Lin Ke'er asked in surprise. "I still need to pick up my wages! I'm graduating soon, so I won't be doing part-time jobs anymore!"
"I'll go with you!" Lu Fan patted his bicycle. "Get on quickly!"
Lin Ke smiled and nodded, naturally sitting beside the bicycle and wrapping her arms around Lu Fan, appearing quite content.
Led by Lin Ke, they arrived at a restaurant. It wasn't particularly luxurious, but the establishment was not small.
"You were working part-time here before?" Lu Fan asked with concern. "Working part-time at a restaurant must be very tough."
"No matter how tough, it's worth it. Working my way through school can also lighten the burden for Grandma Guihua," Lin Ke said with a light smile.
"Alright!" Lu Fan gently stroked Lin Ke's hair. "Then you go ahead! I'll wait for you here."
Lin Ke nodded and walked towards the restaurant.
At the restaurant's front desk, a woman was recording accounts. Lin Ke approached and smiled. "Sister Liu, I'm here to collect my wages."
