Before this, even though Hong Lajiao had not yet been transferred to the position of Marketing Director of Exquisite Design, the medicine packaging boxes of Jinfang Pharmaceutical were produced by Exquisite Design, so Gao Fei was no stranger to Jin Yongping.
But it was precisely because of this that he was even more unable to accept Jin Yongping's statement, and he repeatedly shook his head and slandered Chen Xiao with harsh words:
"Boss Jin, didn't you hear me say that Chen Xiao is just a doctor at the Central Hospital? Not only that, he is a bastard born of a mother without a father, and he doesn't know who his biological father is even after growing up. His mother is just the owner of a declining traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the old city. What's more, he is messing around with his own cousin, which is worse than pigs and dogs. How can such a beast have the right to make decisions for your company..."
Before Gao Fei could finish speaking, Chen Xiao could no longer bear it and suddenly smashed the glass teacup in front of him fiercely.
The next second, with a "clang," glass shards flew everywhere. Gao Fei, hit on the bridge of his nose, was already crouching in embarrassment, covering his nose and mouth. The splashing nosebleed flowed all over the ground, scaring Jin Yongping and the other three present to death. Especially Hong Lajiao, who saw Chen Xiao act for the first time, couldn't help but let out a cry of "Ah."
But Chen Xiao still felt it was not enough. He then leaped onto the large round dining table in front of him like lightning. In two quick steps, he appeared in front of Gao Fei and fiercely rammed his knee into Gao Fei's nose, mouth, and lips.
"Mom!"
Gao Fei cried out in pain, collapsing limply on the ground. His eyes were bursting with pain, his nose bridge was severely collapsed, his yellow teeth were scattered everywhere, and even his face was deformed. He let out a heart-wrenching scream:
"Hong... Director Hong, save... save me. If... if something unfortunate happens to me, you... you will also be responsible, damn it!"
"Still spewing filth?"
Chen Xiao was furious. He then picked up a very exquisite and very round glass teacup from the dining table and stuffed it fiercely into Gao Fei's mouth, then slapped him across the face.
"Woo..."
Gao Fei immediately spun around like a violently spinning top. The glass teacup in his bloody mouth was neither too big nor too small. He couldn't swallow it, nor could he spit it out. He was both shocked and terrified, his courage completely broken. He quickly scrambled to escape the private room and rushed into the nearby restroom to call Gao Sheng for help.
But to his despair, the glass teacup stuffed in his mouth made it impossible for him to speak. After "woo woo woo" for a long time, he couldn't utter a single clear word. For a moment, he finally realized that the urgent matter was to seek medical attention. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to speak, but he would also have trouble eating and drinking. He frantically sent a message to Meng Baobao:
"Auntie, don't rush to get off work and rest. Help, help!"
Fearing that Meng Baobao would ignore him, he took a picture of himself with the glass teacup in his mouth and sent it without thinking.
"Pfft!"
On the other end of the phone, Meng Baobao, who was eating lunch in the hospital cafeteria, couldn't hold it in and sprayed out the food in her mouth, making Xu Jingyin, who was chewing slowly beside her, dumbfounded and full of question marks.
Returning to the topic.
As Gao Fei drove frantically towards the Central Hospital, the worried Hong Lajiao finally realized that Chen Xiao was not as easy to get along with as his gentle appearance suggested. She quickly said:
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency Mr. Chen, please calm your anger. My sister... my sister will call Miss Song now to personally fire the guy who dared to insult you!"
Although Hong Lajiao was one of Song Yan's capable subordinates and deeply trusted by Song Yan, her current position as Marketing Director of Exquisite Design did not give her direct personnel appointment and dismissal authority. Dismissing subordinates required going through the HR department.
However, since Chen Xiao possessed the Purple Gold Emperor Card, he did not need to go through the usual procedures. As she spoke, she prepared to call Song Yan directly without thinking.
Chen Xiao was not worried that Hong Lajiao couldn't fire Gao Fei. He shook his head slightly and stopped her:
"Aunt Jiao, there's no need to involve Song Yan in such a small matter. I'm in a hurry to get back to the hospital for work. Let's quickly discuss the details of our cooperation!"
To him, violently beating Gao Fei away was just a minor incident that did not affect his mood for discussing cooperation. As he spoke, he even showed Hong Lajiao his signature gentle smile.
"Okay... okay."
Hong Lajiao was relieved and carefully put down her phone.
Soon, both parties happily finalized the contract details. Jinfang Pharmaceutical's first batch of orders was for five million packaging boxes for Sumeru Mustard Paste. Exquisite Design guaranteed phased delivery within half a month. At the same time, dozens of delicious dishes, such as Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup, were also served.
Hong Lajiao originally thought that this cooperation with Jinfang Pharmaceutical would be no different from others, except for the larger amount. She didn't intend to tell Song Yan because, in her estimation, Song Yan was likely encountering some trouble and had been working from home recently. She thought it was best not to disturb her if possible.
However, given that it involved Chen Xiao, who held the Purple Gold Emperor Card, she felt it was a matter of great importance. She even resisted the temptation of the exquisite delicacies like Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup and found an excuse to go to the restroom to call Song Yan in a secluded place, nervously asking:
"Miss Song... Miss Song, may I ask... did you give Mr. Chen Xiao the Purple Gold Emperor Card?"
On the other end of the phone, Song Yan, who was working from home, was bent over her desk. Her grape-like eyes were captivating, her willow-like eyebrows were alluring, and her features were delicate, her figure plump, and she was gentle, intellectual, and radiant. Compared to her seductive and sexy sister, Song Nuan, she was like an ethereal immortal from ancient scrolls.
However, such an immortal, who seemed to be detached from worldly affairs, had been unable to stop thinking about a guy named Chen Xiao recently.
She seemed to never forget the bizarre experience of Chen Xiao and Zidan firing guns at Partridge Sky some time ago, nor did she forget the phone call she received shortly after the post titled "Shocking!!! Pictures and Truth! Richest Heiress Illegally Possesses a Gun! Intern Doctor Assaults Woman in Public!" began to ferment online:
"Hello, is this Ms. Song Yan? This is the Northern Border Army. Given that the malicious exposé post about you online is likely to threaten the personal safety of an important figure, we strongly advise you to self-isolate at home recently and avoid appearing in public as much as possible. At the same time, we hope that you will guarantee not to mention this matter to any third party and request that you sign an electronic confidentiality agreement, which will be sent to your personal email via encryption shortly."
Song Yan was utterly bewildered. Being intelligent, her first reaction was that Zidan's identity was extraordinary and must not be exposed online. After all, she would never believe that a village girl could casually produce such a sophisticated handgun, let alone that Zidan, who was almost two meters tall with wheat-colored skin and a ferocious scar on his left eye, did not look like a village girl.
Therefore, after ending the call, she immediately opened her email and signed the confidentiality agreement using facial recognition. Then, she began to work from home, not stepping out of her door.
However, after a few days, through intentional or unintentional probing of her sister Song Nuan, she learned that Chen Xiao's freedom of movement was not restricted in any way, unlike hers. She gradually realized that the important figure the Northern Border Army wanted to protect was actually Chen Xiao.
From then on, she became even more cautious, fearing that Chen Xiao's personal safety would be threatened because of her. Even though the Northern Border Army had called her again a few days ago to inform her that the self-isolation order had been lifted and the confidentiality agreement was no longer valid, and even though she felt that she was showing signs of her illness again in the past two days, she still dared not step out of her house.
However, the more she restrained herself, the more she couldn't stop thinking about Chen Xiao and their shared experiences.
When she suddenly received Hong Lajiao's call, and it was about Chen Xiao, her face lit up with joy. She eagerly said:
"Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes! I personally gave Dr. Chen the Purple Gold Emperor Card. He not only saved Grandpa and my life repeatedly, but he also brought our Partridge Sky back from the brink of despair with just a bowl of Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup, defeating the arrogant Cai Cai Zi Sushi!"
"Now, Mr. Chen is saving our Exquisite Design..."
On the other end of the phone, Hong Lajiao, with an even more excited tone, roughly recounted the details of Jinfang Pharmaceutical signing a large order with Exquisite Design and Chen Xiao beating Gao Fei into a pathetic retreat on the spot.
"This..."
Song Yan had recently obtained the management rights of the already riddled Exquisite Design from Song Xiangyu and was struggling with how to reverse its decline. Under the incompetent management of people like Song Xiangyu and Gao Sheng, the once glorious Exquisite Design was now just an empty shell, requiring extensive rebuilding.
The sudden five-million-order from Jinfang Pharmaceutical, while not a large sum for the overall economic scale of the wealthy Song family, was like a timely rain for Exquisite Design. After all, this would give Song Yan more reason to send more of her own people to the higher echelons of Exquisite Design.
As for Chen Xiao beating up Gao Sheng's son, Gao Fei, and explicitly stating that cooperation would be impossible if Gao Fei was not dismissed, it was like giving Song Yan a supreme authority, with the blade pointing directly at Gao Sheng, who was backed by Song Xiangyu!
Although firing Gao Sheng alone was far from enough to completely remove the cancerous management of Exquisite Design, it would at least serve as a warning to others.
Shocked, Song Yan eagerly wanted to meet Chen Xiao and said:
"Jiao... Sister Jiao, may I ask... may I ask if Dr. Chen is still at Partridge Sky?"
Hong Lajiao said with a wry smile:
"He is still here now, but he said he is in a hurry to get back to the hospital for work. And isn't our top priority to deal with Gao Sheng using Gao Fei's incident?"
Song Yan shook her head without hesitation:
"No! The top priority is to thank Dr. Chen in person. As long as we maintain a good relationship with Dr. Chen, dealing with those insignificant people like Gao Sheng will be as easy as pie!"
As she spoke, Song Yan eagerly hung up the phone, then began to tidy herself up, intending to go to the Central Hospital immediately.
Meanwhile, in examination room number one of the emergency department at the Central Hospital, Meng Baobao looked at Gao Fei, who had a round glass teacup stuffed in his mouth, and was at a loss. She couldn't help but say with a mixture of amusement and exasperation:
"Who did this to you? Could it be Dr. Chen?"
