Time flew by, and a month had passed.
During this period, Du Fei's Traditional Chinese Medicine company began its first batch of drug production.
Although Du Fei's pharmaceutical company was new, thanks to the strong promotion by Shen Xiong and Zhang Zicheng, its reputation quickly spread.
Especially Zhang Zicheng, after Du Fei saved him and Zheng Er Niu's wives and daughters last time, he went all out to help Du Fei promote.
Some of his subordinates didn't know, thinking their boss Zhang Zicheng was planning a career change.
Du Fei went to Gong Chengbin's office again and found him staring intently at the computer, not even noticing Du Fei walking up to him.
"No way, Young Master Gong, your taste has improved so quickly, you've started appreciating concerts now??"
Du Fei saw a magnificent concert playing on the computer screen.
"Damn, when did you get here."
Gong Chengbin was startled by Du Fei's voice.
Then he shut down the computer and pulled Du Fei to sit on the guest sofa.
It turned out that Gong Chengbin was watching the concert on his computer because of his goddess, Wenwen.
"Alas, I asked her out three times during this period, but she only came out once. Coincidentally, there was a Tchaikovsky concert in Rongcheng, and we both went. I almost fell asleep listening."
As soon as Gong Chengbin sat down, he started complaining.
Du Fei laughed heartily, "Brother Bin, can we have some dignity? It's just a woman, no need to be so dramatic and force yourself to listen to concerts you don't like?"
Actually, Du Fei was right. Gong Chengbin had no interest in concerts at all, but he saw that Wenwen was enjoying herself, so he naturally wanted to cultivate an interest in it, so that they would have common topics to discuss in the future.
Gong Chengbin glanced at Du Fei, "Du Fei, you're just talking without any worries. You don't understand the suffering of the hungry. You're happily together with Shishi, all lovey-dovey, and you don't care about your brother's life or death, right?"
Gong Chengbin's words left Du Fei speechless. What was he even talking about?
Seeing Du Fei silent, Gong Chengbin stared at him seriously and asked, "Du Fei, I'm asking you, are we good friends and brothers?"
"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely!"
Du Fei understood now that if he didn't cooperate with Gong Chengbin, this guy would eat him alive.
However, what Gong Chengbin said next made Du Fei frown.
"Stop, stop, stop, A Bin, why does it sound like you're treating me like a monkey? Asking me to perform acupuncture for your Wenwen? Are you kidding me?"
It turned out that Gong Chengbin, in order to get closer to his goddess, had told her that he had a friend who was a highly skilled Chinese medicine doctor with an astonishing acupuncture technique.
Wenwen heard this and expressed her desire to witness it. Without hesitation, Gong Chengbin readily agreed on her behalf.
"A Bin, my medical skills are for treating illnesses and saving people, not for performing tricks. I'm sorry, I probably can't help you with this."
Du Fei shook his head and refused.
There were some matters of principle that Du Fei would not compromise on, no matter who the other party was.
"Du Fei, Brother Fei, please don't! I've already made plans with her. If you refuse now, aren't you deliberately sabotaging me? Brother Fei, I'll call you 'Brother,' okay? Just help me this once, and from now on, if you say a word, I'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Gong Chengbin hadn't expected Du Fei to refuse him, and he had already bragged to Wenwen that it was no problem. This made him extremely anxious.
Now, to get Du Fei to agree, he even resorted to calling him "Brother Fei."
While he was begging, Gong Chengbin's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Wenwen calling. Gong Chengbin's face immediately turned ashen.
He looked up at Du Fei. Seeing that he was still unyielding, Gong Chengbin could only sigh and answer the call.
Strictly speaking, this couldn't be blamed on Du Fei; it was entirely his own decision.
Moreover, Du Fei was right: medical skills were for treating illnesses and saving people, not for him to use as a means to chase women.
After coming to this realization, Gong Chengbin decided to tell Wenwen the truth later.
"Uh, I need to ask my friend about this. Okay, I'll call you back after I ask. Alright, bye-bye."
Gong Chengbin hung up the phone and looked at Du Fei.
Du Fei was observant and guessed who was calling from Gong Chengbin's reaction.
But this guy didn't directly tell the other person on the phone that he refused. Did he still have some hope?
Du Fei decided to explain his position seriously again, so that Gong Chengbin would completely give up this idea.
"Uh, uh, Du Fei, the thing is, Wenwen just called and said..."
"A Bin, although we are good friends and brothers, principles are principles. I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."
Cutting off Gong Chengbin before he could speak, Du Fei refused him first.
Although refusing Gong Chengbin might mean losing a good opportunity to get closer to his goddess, Du Fei really couldn't help him with this kind of favor.
"Du Fei, I know you are a person of principle, but can you let me finish speaking first?"
Even though he had already guessed that Du Fei would refuse, hearing it directly still made Gong Chengbin feel a bit dejected, and his expression was slightly disappointed.
Seeing this, Du Fei gave a somewhat apologetic smile.
"Actually, I was about to explain to Wenwen on the phone, but she said on the call that she has a friend who is a top graduate from a medical university in Europe. She heard about your matter and wants to come and see for herself. If possible, she also wants to have a friendly competition with you."
Gong Chengbin relayed what Wenwen had said on the phone.
"Compete with me?"
Du Fei was a little surprised.
Wenwen's friend wanted to compete in medical skills with a stranger. For Du Fei, with his traditional Chinese mindset, this was somewhat astonishing.
However, upon closer thought, he could understand. Wenwen had lived abroad for many years, so her friend must be a foreigner.
For foreigners who grew up in very different environments, doing something like this was not unusual.
"Du Fei, you said earlier that you wouldn't allow your medical skills to be used as a circus act, but now, a foreigner wants to use Western medicine to challenge the essence of Chinese medicine that has been passed down for five thousand years. Can you tolerate this? I certainly can't!!"
If Gong Chengbin had already decided to give up before, then Wenwen's call now reignited his hope.
So, this time, he spoke with the intention of provoking Du Fei.
With Du Fei's intelligence, how could he not see through Gong Chengbin's intentions?
At this moment, he deliberately crossed his arms and looked at him with a faint smile.
"I, I'm just standing up for the national treasure passed down by our ancestors."
Feeling a little guilty under Du Fei's gaze, Gong Chengbin's expression became a little unnatural.
Du Fei chuckled, clearly unable to hold back his laughter.
However, after laughing, he told Gong Chengbin that he had decided to meet Wenwen's top graduate friend from a foreign medical university.
Upon hearing this, Gong Chengbin excitedly jumped up from the sofa.
Then, he gave Du Fei a somewhat embarrassed look and walked aside to make a phone call.
