Chapter 467 Is Chen Xuan a Hot Commodity?
"Since that's the case, I'll take it."
Chen Xuan didn't decline further and put away the White Dragon Card, as he had cured Old Man Gao's illness.
Old Man Gao's life was worth at least ten billion.
Su Yunxi blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a hint of feigned anger, "Why didn't you tell me about saving Old Man Gao?"
"Just a small matter, I forgot," Chen Xuan replied.
Su Yunxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. In Chen Xuan's eyes, this was truly a trivial matter.
If someone else could help Old Man Gao, they would probably throw a three-day banquet and make it known throughout the provincial capital. Yet, in Chen Xuan's words, it was just an insignificant trifle.
Perhaps, it really was a small matter.
Thinking of this, her gaze fell on the White Dragon Card casually held in Chen Xuan's hand.
For such a small matter, Old Man Gao would give him a White Dragon Card. When did Old Man Gao's White Dragon Cards become so common?
She glanced at Chen Xuan and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Old Man Gao was attacked in Jiangzhou and injured. I happened to be there and saved his life."
Su Yunxi was stunned upon hearing this.
Old Man Gao was already half a step into the Grandmaster realm of internal energy. How could he get into trouble?
"That's fine, I'm going upstairs."
Chen Xuan said and went upstairs.
"He can't even brag properly. How could Old Man Gao be attacked? And need you to save him?"
Jiang Biyun stared at Chen Xuan's retreating back, clearly displeased. She turned to Su Yunxi, "Yunxi, you really should consider..."
Su Yunxi had already guessed the latter half of Jiang Biyun's sentence, which was undoubtedly to urge her to reconsider the marriage. She smiled slightly and interrupted, "Mom, although Chen Xuan's words might have some discrepancies, isn't the White Dragon Card real? And Old Man Gao's favor isn't fake?"
"In the provincial capital, can you find any young man who can obtain a White Dragon Card?"
"In the provincial capital, can you find any young man who has earned Old Man Gao's favor?"
"No..."
Jiang Biyun subconsciously shook her head.
Indeed, as Su Yunxi said, the bank card was at least not fake. After all, the Gao family wasn't that foolish to give such a valuable White Dragon Card to Chen Xuan.
How could it be that with Su Yunxi's words, the divorced Chen Xuan had become a hot commodity?
"Hmph, he must have gotten lucky!"
Seeing that she couldn't convince Su Yunxi, Su Yunxi's mother felt a bit embarrassed and slipped away. "Forget it, I'll go see if the stocks I bought have gone up."
The next day, after breakfast, Su Yunxi was watching the morning news while Jiang Biyun went out for a walk.
Chen Xuan walked over and sat down beside Su Yunxi.
"Yunxi, how are the Su family's businesses doing now?" Chen Xuan asked indifferently.
"They're just getting by, and will collapse when they can't anymore." Su Yunxi didn't take her eyes off the television.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's gaze fixed on Su Yunxi, his eyes gentle, filled with a hint of concern, as if she was the only woman in his eyes.
Su Yunxi's heart stirred, and she nodded firmly, "I've made up my mind."
"To give the Su family the qualifications to set foot in Kyoto, I've decided!"
"To make the Su family a stronger enterprise,"
Finally, Su Yunxi's tone became even more resolute.
If Chen Xuan wanted to help the Su family enter Kyoto, what qualifications did the Su family have to retreat?
Innovation and progress were inevitable.
Chen Xuan gazed deeply at Su Yunxi.
He knew what this meant: betrayal by loved ones, carrying a heavy burden, being ostracized by everyone, and being cursed behind their backs...
"Yunxi, I will accompany you to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Kyoto! I will write your name in the Su family's ancestral hall in Kyoto."
Chen Xuan vowed, full of emotion.
His deep eyes seemed to be able to contain everything!
Su Yunxi said, "However, although the current Su family is riddled with holes, there are still some valuable assets that I want to preserve."
"Valuable assets? What?" Chen Xuan asked.
The Su family currently retained primarily two types of assets in the provincial capital: the pharmaceutical and real estate businesses. He didn't know what other valuable assets Su Yunxi had.
Su Yunxi met Chen Xuan's gaze and uttered two words: "Prescriptions."
"Prescriptions?" Chen Xuan didn't quite understand.
Su Yunxi explained, "At that time, in Kyoto, the Su family was responsible for pharmaceutical research. They brought a batch of precious prescriptions from Kyoto, which is why they quickly established a foothold in the provincial capital. Even after so many years, their competitors find it difficult to surpass those prescriptions. Furthermore, a new drug that the Su family is currently researching is about to be successful."
Chen Xuan was a little surprised, he hadn't expected the Su family to gain a foothold in the provincial capital relying on prescriptions brought from Kyoto.
Indeed, without genuine capability, how could they have established a firm footing in the provincial capital?
"Has the Gu family in the provincial capital been causing trouble for the Su family?" Chen Xuan suddenly asked.
Su Yunxi replied indifferently, "There were some minor conflicts in business, and we lost two small contracts. However, they were just petty tactics, and we managed to suppress them all. We even snatched a large contract from the Gu family, so in a way, we made a small profit."
Chen Xuan said, "However, I have a feeling that the Gu family won't let this go. Be careful."
"I know."
This was the first time Su Yunxi had seen such a fussy Chen Xuan. She shrugged helplessly.
The auction was scheduled for the evening. Chen Xuan didn't go to Renxin Medical Hall during the day. Instead, he drove to Su's Cosmetics, wondering about the progress of finding a brand ambassador. He had a feeling that woman Shi Menglu wouldn't give up easily.
Just then, Chen Xuan received a call from Huo Yuhao.
"Mr. Chen, something terrible has happened. Early this morning, a group of people came to trouble Huo's Cosmetics, and they even said they want one of your legs. Please don't come to Huo's Cosmetics!"
Huo Yuhao's voice was very anxious on the phone.
"Who is it?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"It's Cobra's people."
"Cobra?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Cobra is the boss in this area south of the city. I pay them protection fees every month. I just paid this month's fees a few days ago, but I don't know why they're suddenly causing trouble for us."
Chen Xuan's expression darkened. He instructed, "I'm on my way to Huo's Cosmetics. Don't act rashly. Pay special attention not to injure any workers."
Huo Yuhao advised, "Mr. Chen, I know. You still shouldn't come. I'll give them more money, and they'll definitely back off. Don't worry."
"I'd like to see how they plan to break my leg."
Chen Xuan sneered and hung up the phone.
Constant appeasement would only embolden them.
Huo's Cosmetics paying tribute to others was not in line with Chen Xuan's character, especially since Huo's Cosmetics was his industry.
Soon, Chen Xuan drove near Su's Cosmetics. However, at this moment, two burly men carrying baseball bats suddenly blocked Chen Xuan's car on the road.
Behind them, there were over a dozen youths.
Chen Xuan slammed on the brakes and stopped.
"Get out!"
A young man tapped the car hood with a metal baseball bat, looking menacing.
"What do you want?" Chen Xuan rolled down the window and frowned.
"I'll say it again, get out!"
The young man's voice was somewhat fierce.
Chen Xuan opened the car door and jumped out.
As soon as he got out, a group of people swarmed around him.
The young man took out his phone, which displayed a photo of Chen Xuan.
He glanced at the photo, then at Chen Xuan, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Kid, someone wants us to break one of your legs. What do you say we do?"
The young man slung the metal baseball bat over his shoulder, staring at Chen Xuan with a cold sneer.
