Chapter 11 Asking About the Price
Li Jiajia's father also said unhappily, "Dad, you're really getting old. How can you not tell the difference between these things? One is a flood dragon in the sea, and the other is a loach in a muddy ditch. What else is there to choose from?"
Li Jiajia's mother said, "Dad, even if you don't want us to have a good son-in-law, you can't disregard the Li family. If Xu Shijie becomes a big shot in the future, the whole family will benefit."
As she spoke, Li Jiajia's mother looked at Xu Shijie with satisfaction.
"Jiajia, consider it my plea, you must remarry Chen Xuan!" Old Master Li spoke again.
Standing to the side, Xu Shijie's expression turned slightly grim, "Grandpa, I hope you think clearly. Chen Xuan is a good-for-nothing who can't even find a job, while I am a soon-to-be promoted manager at God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals!"
The other Li family members chimed in, "Exactly! Shijie is already a manager at God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals. In the future, our Li family will definitely be able to cooperate with big companies like God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals. Wouldn't it be easy to get rich?"
Old Master Li looked up and saw the hungry gazes of the Li family members, and he sighed deeply!
Seeing that Li Jiajia was still dawdling and was about to miss the time, Xu Shijie couldn't help but urge, "Jiajia, hurry up a bit."
"What's the rush, I'll be there soon!"
Li Jiajia pouted unhappily, but she fussed with her clothes for another five minutes before, wearing the sky-blue dress Xu Shijie had given her and carrying her bag, she headed out. Chen Xuan, in Su Yunxi's car, arrived at the Majestic Hotel half an hour later.
Outside the Majestic Hotel, rows of luxury cars were parked in the front lot, comparable to a luxury car exhibition!
Many female influencers were taking photos in front of the luxury cars.
At the hotel entrance, two bodyguards in black were responsible for checking invitation letters.
It was said that Li Tiandao had booked the entire hotel to host the medical gathering.
"Chen Xuan, you go in first. I have some other matters to attend to. I'll see you at the banquet." Su Yunxi said to Chen Xuan after stopping the car at the hotel entrance.
Chen Xuan nodded and jumped out of the car.
As he turned to leave, Su Yunxi called him back, handed him an invitation letter, patted her forehead, and said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Li asked me to give this invitation letter to you. You can't get in without it."
Chen Xuan took the invitation letter from Su Yunxi and strode into the hotel.
Su Yunxi parked in the parking lot for a while, and when she saw that the time was about right, she drove to the back entrance of the hotel.
At this moment, several high-level executives from God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals came out from the back door.
They were dressed in suits and ties, with perfectly slicked-back hair!
However, they were currently like ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.
Seeing Su Yunxi approach, they immediately became flustered and bowed respectfully.
"Oh, our President Su, you've arrived without announcing yourself. We should have sent people to lay out a red carpet and hold a grand welcoming ceremony to greet you."
Su Yunxi waved her hand helplessly, her face showing disdain, "Alright, stop coming up with rotten ideas. I'm here today to accompany a friend."
"President Su's friend?"
Everyone looked curious, their eyes eagerly fixed on Su Yunxi, wanting to find out the identity of President Su's friend. "That must be a big shot. I wonder who it is? So we can get acquainted."
Su Yunxi said coldly, "Inquire about what you should, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't!"
Cold sweat beaded on the foreheads of several people.
Su Yunxi warned, "Listen clearly, he is not one of you. Oh, and he doesn't know my identity yet. You all should instruct your subordinates to pretend not to know me."
"We will inform them immediately!"
Several people nodded quickly.
Only then did Su Yunxi stride away with her slender legs.
Fortunately, most people didn't know she was the largest shareholder of God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to hide her identity even if she wanted to.
At this moment, Chen Xuan strode to the entrance of the hall.
He stood at the entrance and surveyed the surroundings but couldn't find Li Tiandao.
"It seems Li Tiandao hasn't arrived yet. To get the spirit medicine, I might have to wait a while," Chen Xuan muttered.
The medical gathering was clearly meticulously arranged, adopting a buffet-style format.
On the long white dining tables, there was not only countless exquisite food but also numerous expensive liquors.
At the banquet, most of the attendees were esteemed figures in the medical community, with only a few young people who were clearly the cream of the crop in the medical field.
Of course, there were also high-level executives and partners of God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals.
"My heavens, the God of Medicine gathering is so extravagant! This is top-grade Japanese Wagyu beef!"
At the buffet table, Li Jiajia was devouring a plate of Kobe beef steak, as if she had never eaten such delicious beef in her life.
Japanese Wagyu beef were raised on music and were exorbitantly priced!
Here, they could eat it freely!
Xu Shijie, who was following her, also clicked his tongue in admiration.
This was the true life of the rich.
Just then, a young man in a gray suit and tie walked over.
Upon seeing this young man, Xu Shijie quickly put down the food in his hand and said respectfully, "Haha, Director Fan, long time no see."
The Director Fan he mentioned was Fan Jin, a director at God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals, and Xu Shijie's immediate superior.
More importantly, this person was from the Fan family, a prominent family in Jiangzhou.
"Xu Shijie?"
Fan Jin glanced at Xu Shijie and frowned, "Since when could managers at God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals attend medical gatherings?"
There was undisguised sarcasm in his words. Xu Shijie heard it but didn't dare to get angry.
In the future, if he wanted to live a good life, he still had to look at this person's face.
He could only force a smile and explain, "The medical gathering was initiated by Divine Doctor Li, perhaps I am favored by Divine Doctor Li."
After speaking, Xu Shijie introduced Li Jiajia to Fan Jin, "Jiajia, this is Director Fan Jin, my immediate superior."
Then, he turned to Fan Jin again, "Director Fan, this is my wife, Li Jiajia."
Li Jiajia reluctantly put down the plate in her hand and then looked up and smiled, "Director Fan? Are you indeed Shijie's immediate superior? Please take good care of Shijie in the future!"
As she spoke, she extended her oily hand.
Fan Jin looked at the oil stains on her hand and looked elsewhere.
Li Jiajia felt a flush of shame and embarrassment, and sheepishly withdrew her hand.
Fan Jin glanced at Xu Shijie and said, "Speaking of which, I am indeed somewhat surprised that Divine Doctor Li would invite Manager Xu to the medical gathering."
Li Jiajia, unwilling to be outdone, gritted her teeth and deliberately boasted, "What's so surprising about that? My Shijie is so capable. It's Divine Doctor Li's honor to be invited to such a gathering!"
Hearing this, Fan Jin sneered inwardly.
You useless connections have no ability whatsoever. With your resume, you wouldn't even pass the first round of interviews at God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals.
If it weren't for someone powerful pulling strings back then, how would a good-for-nothing like Xu Shijie have had the chance to join God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals and become a manager?
Upon hearing Li Jiajia's words, Fan Jin felt a bit guilty and stopped Li Jiajia from talking nonsense.
Xu Shijie smiled and asked, "Director Fan, do you know who our God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals' backstage boss is?"
Being able to easily make an outsider like him a manager at God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals, that mysterious person must be an influential figure with connections everywhere.
He suspected that the mysterious person had a great relationship with God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals, and might even be the backstage boss of God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals whose identity had never been revealed to the public.
He really wanted to curry favor with that backstage boss.
Fan Jin glanced at Xu Shijie and sneered, "The identity of God of Medicine Pharmaceuticals' backstage boss is a highly confidential matter. Do you think you are qualified to know?"
Xu Shijie subconsciously wanted to say yes, but remembering the warning from that mysterious person, he could only force himself to say, "I am indeed not qualified."
"Huh? Isn't that Chen Xuan, that little security guard? What is he doing here?"
