Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 760: They Appear in Pairs

Lu Bannong retorted, "Why are you so obsessed with abolishing the North-South Division rules? What do you want to do?"

He didn’t believe those high-sounding reasons.

Who wouldn’t have personal ambitions?

Could there really be someone who acts righteously just for the future development of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Qiao Xi sensed his implication and followed his logic, saying, "In the end, the Imperial Capital is the world of the Lu Family. I will definitely return to Haicheng to develop my career in the future. I can’t not plan for myself, right? If President Lu continues the North-South Division, it would limit my future development. How could I be happy with that?"

Lu Bannong snorted.

So this was her most genuine thought.

Lu Bannong scrutinized her for a moment and said, "I can agree to your request."

He felt that Qiao Xi wouldn’t become a major force.

Based on the current situation, the Lu Family was already invincible.

"Then I hope that in the interview announcing Lu Yingxue’s appointment as the president, you can disclose this news. It can be considered the first good deed she does after taking office, as many ordinary people have many speculations about this North-South Division rule."

Qiao Xi didn’t mind sending Lu Yingxue on her way.

She wanted to ascend the throne, so let her do it.

"Alright."

Lu Bannong was very satisfied with this arrangement.

He was just worried that his daughter’s ascent lacked substantial achievements to support her.

Initially, Lu Yingxue didn’t agree, but after listening to their conversation, she realized upon careful consideration that there was no harm to herself.

"Oral agreements don’t count; put it directly on paper." Qiao Xi didn’t trust the Lu Family; between them, there was no talk of trust.

This was exactly what Lu Bannong wanted.

"Yingxue, you go draft the contract. Two copies, list all the medicinal supply needs and conditions thoroughly, no mistakes allowed."

"Yes."

Lu Yingxue quickly left to prepare the contract.

Soon she came back with the contract and placed a copy in front of Qiao Xi coldly.

Qiao Xi picked up the contract and carefully flipped through it. There were no pitfalls; many clauses were clearly written.

So.

She directly signed her name in the lower left corner.

After signing, both parties were very satisfied.

With the contract in hand, Qiao Xi stood up and said, "The matter is settled. Goodbye. I hope to see the news of the North-South Division abolition soon. I think you won’t miss this publicity opportunity, right?"

Her brows and eyes carried a hint of smile.

Lu Yingxue said coldly, "That’s not your concern. We will honor the contract."

"Alright." Qiao Xi’s eyes flashed, "By the way, my master is still the honorary president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, right? Don’t forget that..."

After speaking, she left the meeting room with Old Chen.

Seeing her leave, Lu Yingxue pulled a chair aside and sat down with some displeasure.

"Why is she acting so high and mighty? Is she afraid people don’t know Cheng Han is her master? Just a dead man!"

Lu Yingxue frowned and said unhappily.

Clearly, she won now, but Qiao Xi wasn’t a bit embarrassed. It was like she was standing in the position of a benefactor, giving them Lu Family the medicinal materials.

A last minute show of force!

Insisting on pretending!

Lu Bannong said with a gloomy face, "Yingxue, you have been too impetuous lately. On the contrary, Qiao Xi is calmer. No matter how she thinks, she can stay composed. Obviously, our Lu Family has the upper hand, but she can completely control the conversation’s rhythm."

To be honest, if Qiao Xi wasn’t an opponent, Lu Bannong would admire her.

"Father, I..."

"You are going to be the president, control your temper."

"Yes."

With that contract in her hands, Lu Yingxue was still uneasy, "Father, do you think Qiao Xi wants to abolish the division for the reason she said? Could there be other motives?"

She couldn’t figure it out for now.

But Lu Bannong said, "Regardless of the reason, Cheng Han is dead now! This rule is useless, even if it’s abolished. Although Qiao Xi is very talented, I don’t believe a young girl can stir up such a big storm."

He was also very relieved.

Resolved the medicinals requirement issue.

"Be at ease as the president. With the current momentum, you have already laid decades of foundation. Don’t do anything behind the scenes that can be held against you." Lu Bannong suddenly thought about Zhong Lingxiao getting closer to her recently.

So he cautioned, "Zhong Lingxiao is a shrewd person. Be cautious when cooperating with him. Keep your distance; he is indiscreet with women. Your reputation can’t be tainted by such filth; don’t let the media catch you."

Lu Yingxue felt some guilt, but said, "I know."

Her father didn’t know about her affair with Zhong Lingxiao.

He always thought she was cooperating with Zhong Lingxiao to bring down Zhong Yi.

She must be careful not to get caught.

Listening to Lu Bannong for over twenty years, Lu Yingxue still had some rebellious streaks in her bones.

The more forbidden a thing was, the more thrilling she felt doing it.

Like her affair with Zhong Lingxiao in the Wind Jasmine Hotel, there was a kind of pleasure in avenging Zhong Yi.

Lu Bannong looked at her and continued, "I will contact the mainstream media. We will attend the interview together. I will officially announce my retirement, while you will be the new president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. I hope you won’t let me down. At least do better than Qiao Xi, never let that brat show up!"

"I understand, I will never let Qiao Xi stand over me again!"

Lu Yingxue was deeply resentful of Qiao Xi!

...

Meanwhile, Qiao Xi, holding the contract, walked out of the Bell Tower of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

There, she saw Shen Xuanzhi standing at the door waiting for her.

His face wasn’t looking too good, and he questioned with some restraint, "Why let Lu Yingxue become president?"

Recently, Lu Yingxue has been in the limelight, and the Lu Family’s situation was even better than before.

Then what was the point of all their previous efforts?

Qiao Xi countered, "Can we stop it? The Lu Family has deep roots in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. Even if we disagree, Lu Yingxue will still become president. She is easier to deal with than Lu Bannong."

Lu Yingxue had already left herself vulnerable, but she was unaware.

Shen Xuanzhi asked, "Do you have a plan to deal with them, father and daughter?"

Qiao Xi’s lips twitched slightly, and instead of giving a definitive answer, she said, "Maybe. You must believe, my hatred is no less than yours. You lost a father, I lost my grandmother who depended on me."

Shen Xuanzhi took a deep breath, "If there’s anything I can help with, let me know."

"Not for now. If there is, I’ll certainly not be polite."

Shen Xuanzhi nodded, hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he uttered the words, "I saw Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai together at several banquets. Are they... together?"

Shen Xuanzhi’s tone was sour and somewhat difficult.

"Ah?"

Qiao Xi didn’t know as much as Shen Xuanzhi and wasn’t aware that they were together.

No wonder Huo Sijiao was coming and going early and late recently!

It turned out to be like this.

Seeing her reaction, Shen Xuanzhi said with an obscure expression, "No matter. I was just asking casually. Someone has come to pick you up, I won’t disturb you."

Qiao Xi followed his gaze and was surprised.

Why did he come?
