The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 464 Go Back to the Countryside to Retire
As the saying goes, good people are rewarded. This time, Chen Xiao had truly come to the right place!
If Yaowang Valley (Medicine King Valley) was truly as Chu Luo described, abundant in spiritual herbs, then this trip would definitely be worthwhile for Chen Xiao.
Moreover, according to Chu Luo, Yaowang Valley excelled at refining pills. Even the life-and-death challenge between Chu Qingbai and Chu Qingsong was a contest of pill-refining skills.
Chen Xiao was also eager to see their pill-refining techniques, as he was also a master pill refiner himself.
That evening, the plane landed at Hecheng Airport.
As soon as they disembarked, a group of people came to greet them.
Leading the group was an elderly man with silver hair, wearing a well-tailored suit of excellent material, clearly expensive at a glance.
"Young Master, Miss Zhu, esteemed honored guests, welcome back!"
The old man bowed slightly, greeting everyone respectfully.
As for Chen Xiao, he didn't recognize him, so he didn't greet him proactively.
And Chu Luo had no intention of introducing Chen Xiao to the old man.
Chen Xiao found the old man somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.
"Young Master, I have prepared a light banquet to welcome you back and cleanse away the travel dust."
The old man looked at Chu Luo, saying with a flattering expression.
At this moment, Chu Luo's aura had completely changed.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep, faintly carrying the air of a superior.
The carefree young doctor from Jiangcheng Hospital had completely disappeared.
"No need, Uncle Huang. We need to return to the valley now. Prepare the car."
Chu Luo said indifferently.
Although the words were polite, his tone revealed a sense of superiority.
A trace of hesitation flashed in the old man's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he immediately said, "Yes, Young Master, I will take care of it immediately."
It was then that Chen Xiao finally remembered who this person was.
"Chu Luo, wasn't that old man Huang Daozhang?"
Chu Luo smiled and nodded, "That's right, Director Chen, it's him."
A look of surprise appeared on Chen Xiao's face. "Good heavens, the dignified Huang Daozhang of Hecheng Pharmaceutical is your subordinate?"
Hecheng Pharmaceutical was a leading large-scale pharmaceutical factory in the country, a Fortune 500 company.
And this Huang Daozhang was the chairman of Hecheng Pharmaceutical.
Chen Xiao had met him once a long time ago, when he was in college, and Huang Daozhang gave a speech at their school.
To Chen Xiao at that time, Huang Daozhang was a very important figure.
He never expected that the big shot in his eyes back then would be so obsequious in front of Chu Luo.
Chu Luo said with a smile, "Director Chen, to be honest, Hecheng Pharmaceutical was originally the property of our Yaowang Valley. Huang Daozhang is just managing it on our behalf..."
"I see."
Only then did Chen Xiao understand that Huang Daozhang was just an agent of Yaowang Valley. All his achievements today were given by Yaowang Valley, so he would naturally be respectful to Chu Luo.
Before long, Huang Daozhang had prepared the car, a high-end luxury car.
Chu Luo stared at Huang Daozhang, his brows furrowing. He said coldly, "Huang Daozhang, you eat from my Yaowang Valley, yet you help outsiders?"
"Young… Young Master, I…"
Huang Daozhang was shocked. He thought, I haven't helped any outsiders!
However, in Chu Luo's view, the Li siblings had offended him, and Huang Daozhang hadn't immediately driven them away, which meant he was helping them!
"Huang Daozhang, you're getting old. Starting tomorrow, go back to your hometown to retire!"
Chu Luo gave Huang Daozhang one last look before getting into the car.
"Let's go!"
The car started, and Huang Daozhang desperately chased after it, shouting.
"Young Master, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"
"Young Master, Young Master…"
However, the car had already driven hundreds of meters away, and Chu Luo couldn't hear Huang Daozhang's pleas for mercy at all.
But even if he had heard them, he would never have softened his heart.
Returning to this land, he could no longer be himself, he must become a decisive king!
