The following day, at nine in the morning.
The Su Corporation convened an expanded board of directors meeting in the conference room. In addition to the board members, all managers and above were present to listen.
Before the meeting began, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the large screen in the conference room, which displayed the Su Corporation’s stock page, showing pre-market bidding by shareholders.
“The stock price has soared to 1,000 yuan!”
Upon seeing the final pre-market bidding price for Su Corporation’s stock, a huge cheer erupted in the conference room. The directors and executives of Su Corporation were all excited, as if injected with adrenaline.
Amidst their excitement, they all looked towards Su Shiyun, only to see a beautiful and serene face.
Immediately, the conference room returned to silence. Except for Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Xia Hong, and Su Li, everyone else in the meeting looked at Su Shiyun with admiration, even worship!
On one hand, Su Shiyun, in the short span of a few days after joining Su Corporation, had resolved the company’s issues and embarked on a new journey, creating a myth in Longguo’s stock market and increasing their wealth accordingly.
On the other hand, Su Shiyun was not excited like them, but rather calm.
Yes.
Faced with the surge in Su Corporation’s stock price, Su Shiyun felt no excitement or thrill.
This was because she knew that the day was destined to arrive as soon as Jiang Wuming and Li Shang finalized their cooperation on Qi and Blood Pills!
As for Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Xia Hong, and Su Li, their faces showed no excitement, nor resentment, only regret.
If time could be reversed, they would never have targeted Jiang Wuming’s family. Instead, they would have served Jiang Wuming’s family diligently and become winners in life while lying down!
“Today, we are holding an expanded board of directors meeting for two purposes.
First, personnel appointments and dismissals.
Second, to discuss and formulate the group’s future development plan, with a focus on how to cooperate with Long Teng Pharmaceutical on Qi and Blood Pills.”
Following this, Su Shiyun’s voice echoed in the silent conference room.
Hearing Su Shiyun’s words, the regret on the faces of Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Xia Hong, and Su Li became even more evident.
A mistake at one step led to mistakes at every subsequent step.
They had permanently lost the chance to be winners in life while lying down. At the same time, they understood that they must now honestly resign from their positions at Su Corporation and behave themselves, as Jiang Wuming had said.
Although this might not be enough to mend their mistakes, as long as they could receive shares in the new company jointly established by Su Corporation and Long Teng Pharmaceutical in the future, they could still enjoy the benefits of the rise of the Su family and Su Corporation!
Su Shiyun saw the expressions of the four of them and understood that the internal strife within the Su family was coming to an end. The figure of Jiang Wuming surfaced in her mind, and she also recalled the simple yet profound words etched in her heart.
“Sister, you can do it.”
…
While all this was happening, Jiang Wuming was unaware.
This morning, he did not accompany Su Shiyun to the company as he had in the previous days, to protect her in secret.
This was because Qin Linhai, representing the Qin family, was attending Su Yuanshan’s birthday celebration and had pledged to escort and protect the Su family!
Under such circumstances, even if the Yuan family and the Liu family wanted to retaliate against the Su family, they would never resort to force against Su Shiyun, an ordinary person – that would be seeking their own destruction!
Moreover, Jiang Wuming knew very well that even if the Yuan family and the Liu family wanted to retaliate, they would definitely target him first!
“Qiangzi, take this pill, and then I will guide you in practicing martial arts techniques.”
In the courtyard of the Su family’s ancestral home, Jiang Wuming handed a pill to Su Qiang.
“Wuming Ge, what kind of medicine is this?”
Su Qiang took the pill, swallowed it, and then asked.
Su Qiang’s simple-minded action amused Jiang Wuming. He smiled and said, “This is a gene drug. It can alter a person’s gene sequence and stimulate their potential.”
“Holy cow, this is the legendary gene drug?!”
Su Qiang was extremely excited upon hearing this.
Although he was an amateur in martial arts, he had heard of gene drugs and knew they were the most expensive drugs in the world.
Bar none!
Furthermore, gene drugs were available in name but not in supply!
Only top geniuses of major martial arts factions and members of top-tier affluent families could obtain gene drugs. Others, even if they had money, could not buy them.
“Aow!”
In his excitement, Su Qiang suddenly let out a groan, and then his whole body went limp, curling up like a boiled shrimp.
He felt as if his entire body was being torn apart, twitching violently. “Wu… Wuming Ge, what’s happening? I feel like my body is being torn apart!”
“The first time taking a gene drug is a bit painful, bear with it.” Jiang Wuming stood by, doing nothing.
“Hiss…”
“It hurts!”
“So painful!”
“Holy… Holy cow, it hurts so much!!”
Soon, Su Qiang’s cries of pain continued to echo in the courtyard of the Su family’s ancestral home.
At first, to appear strong in front of Jiang Wuming, Su Qiang endured the pain and tried not to make a sound, only gasping for breath. Later, he was howling and rolling on the ground, suffering excruciating pain.
Half an hour later, when the pain subsided, Su Qiang was like someone pulled out of a pool, his clothes soaked in sweat, and he was almost exhausted.
“Qiangzi, the path of martial arts is very difficult. Practicing martial arts is a painful process, and this is just the beginning. If you give up now, there is still time.”
Seeing this, Jiang Wuming thought for a moment and said.
“Wu… Wuming Ge, I’m not afraid of pain, I’m not afraid of hardship!”
Su Qiang struggled to stand up, his face filled with stubbornness.
Back then, in order to gain Su Yuanshan’s approval, he was determined to forge his own path, throwing himself into the corrupting influences of society, even dabbling in the underworld, acting like a stubborn mule.
Now, he had been given the opportunity of a lifetime to rise, an opportunity ordinary people dreamed of. How could he possibly give up?
“Good. Go take a shower, and then I will teach you how to practice martial arts techniques.”
Sensing the determination and stubbornness displayed by Su Qiang, Jiang Wuming no longer prevented Su Qiang from embarking on the martial arts path.
“Okay, Wuming Ge.”
Su Qiang immediately nodded and returned to his room to take a shower.
Ten minutes later, Su Qiang reappeared in the courtyard, completely devoid of his previous pained demeanor. Instead, he was energetic and felt full of strength.
Due to taking the gene drug, his physical functions, potential, and spirit had all become stronger.
“Qiangzi, this set of techniques was given to me by Grandpa Su. It was left behind by my father, and it is a powerful internal cultivation technique. I will read it to you word for word, you memorize it, and then I will teach you how to practice.”
Jiang Wuming guided him meticulously.
The cultivation of a martial artist mainly involves tempering the body, absorbing qi for internal nourishment, and meditating to condense the soul.
Among these, internal cultivation methods are primarily used by martial artists for absorbing qi and internal nourishment.
Last night, he had reviewed the cultivation techniques that Jiang Zhan had given to Su Shirong. It was an internal cultivation method.
Although he judged it to be not a unique lineage technique of the Dragon Gate, it was still a powerful internal cultivation technique.
Su Qiang had a good memory. In just one hour, he could recite the internal cultivation technique taught by Jiang Wuming backward and forward.
After memorizing the internal cultivation technique, Su Qiang sat cross-legged on the ground as Jiang Wuming instructed, and then began to absorb and exhale qi according to the method described in the internal cultivation technique.
During this process, Jiang Wuming used his powerful spiritual energy to infiltrate Su Qiang’s brain, guiding him, which resulted in twice the result with half the effort.
“Wuming Ge, why is it so simple? Am I a legendary martial arts genius?!”
As noon approached, Su Qiang had basically mastered the method of absorbing and exhaling qi for this internal cultivation technique. He immediately let his imagination run wild.
Jiang Wuming: “???”
Then, just as Jiang Wuming was considering whether to tell Su Qiang that it was his help that made it so easy for him to master the qi absorption and exhalation method, he suddenly heard the sound of police sirens, which grew closer.
Huh?
Hearing the sound, Jiang Wuming raised an eyebrow, looked towards the gate, and clearly saw two police cars pull up in front of the Su family’s ancestral home.
Several police officers emerged from the police cars, their expressions solemn, and walked into the Su family’s ancestral home, heading directly towards Jiang Wuming.
“Has the Yuan family’s retaliation come so quickly?”
Looking at the approaching police officers, Jiang Wuming asked himself in his mind.
…
