"I don't have a cosmetics company, but I can still invite President Xia. Aren't you mad?" Li Se said with disdain.
Feng Haonan was very angry, but his expression quickly returned to normal. He said, "President Xia, I'll give you a chance. As long as you accompany me to a meal and attend a social engagement, I can guarantee you a ten-million cooperation. As the Sales Director of Tian Yan International, believe me, I have this authority!"
"Don't talk about ten million, even if you offer a hundred million, President Xia will only go out to dinner with me," Li Se said confidently.
"Do you know each other?" Feng Haonan seemed to realize something.
"Director Feng, if you want to talk about cooperation, I'll say the same thing: I'll send someone specifically to talk to you. But now I'm going out to dinner with him." Xia Bingyun proactively took Li Se's arm, appearing very affectionate, and the two left the company like this.
Feng Haonan's face was gloomy. He slammed his fist on the reception desk and gritted his teeth, "Xia Bingyun, I will definitely have you!"
Arriving at a nearby restaurant, Xia Bingyun looked at Li Se with some surprise. "Tell me what's going on. You don't seem like the type to suddenly come find me."
Li Se touched his nose. Was that the case? He didn't say much more, directly took out the ointment, and placed it in front of Xia Bingyun, smiling, "Try this ointment."
"Ointment?" Xia Bingyun was surprised.
"Apply it to the areas with acne," Li Se said.
Xia Bingyun did as she was told. She trusted Li Se. Despite her great beauty, she still had a few pimples on her face. After applying the ointment, the pimples disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, which shocked her. "Did you make this ointment yourself?"
"Of course!" Li Se nodded.
"You came to find me to promote this ointment?" Xia Bingyun immediately guessed something. To be honest, she was a little excited. With her company's current capabilities, it was very difficult to develop a new product; it required too much capital. Most of their products still relied on cooperation with other companies.
"I just happened to think of this ointment, which is made with Chinese medicine. It's very effective for acne and has no side effects, so I wanted to cooperate with you," Li Se said truthfully.
"No problem, we can start another company to specifically sell this ointment. Besides, you are providing the ointment, so you will hold seventy percent of the shares!" Xia Bingyun said quickly.
"Seventy percent, isn't that too much?" Li Se hesitated.
"Not at all!" Xia Bingyun chuckled slightly. "If you can come up with this ointment, it means you can come up with other ointments as well. This seventy percent is very valuable."
"Alright," Li Se didn't refuse. "I can provide some of the funds."
"That won't do. I'll find a way to get the funds, and it's best to set up a factory for production. We must keep the formula firmly in our own hands!" Xia Bingyun said excitedly, impatient.
So after eating, Xia Bingyun hurried back to the company, and Li Se followed. He found that Feng Haonan had come again.
"What are you doing here again?" Li Se frowned.
"What does it have to do with you?" Feng Haonan was annoyed.
Li Se snorted, "Bingyun is my girlfriend, so does it have anything to do with you?"
Feng Haonan was stunned. He looked Li Se up and down, then immediately sneered, "Leave yourself. You don't deserve her."
"Do you deserve her?" Li Se smiled faintly.
Feng Haonan tidied his clothes and said proudly, "I am the Sales Director of Tian Yan International, with an annual salary in the millions. Do you think I deserve her? Moreover, if President Xia were with me, I would have endless resources and connections that I could channel to her..."
"No need!"
Before he could finish, Xia Bingyun's voice was heard.
"President Xia, you need to think carefully. I am the Sales Director of Tian Yan International... What are you doing? Let go of me!"
"Get lost!"
Feng Haonan was about to show off when Li Se picked him up and threw him towards the company entrance.
With a thud, Feng Haonan smashed heavily onto the ground at the company entrance, grimacing in pain. He had lost a lot of face and said in a flustered manner, "You just wait, we won't let this go... Ah, damn it!"
Before he could finish his threat, he saw Li Se coming out. He immediately turned and ran. After getting some distance away, he continued to threaten, but Li Se had already entered the company and couldn't hear him.
Li Se walked up to Xia Bingyun and asked, "I beat him up, will it affect you?"
"No!" Xia Bingyun shook her head. "Leave the ointment to me. Also, you..."
"Don't call me," Li Se quickly waved his hand. "I don't know anything. It's easy for me to come up with some ointment, but I'm clueless when it comes to business."
"You don't mean to be a hands-off boss, do you?" Xia Bingyun asked suspiciously.
"Can I?" Li Se asked seriously.
Xia Bingyun: "..."
In the afternoon, Li Se returned to the Ji Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to continue dispensing medicine. The old Chinese medicine practitioners now included Elder Huang, Elder Hua, Yan Qizhi, and Zhao Wenqian. There were basically no illnesses they couldn't cure. Li Se even felt that his presence at the clinic was a bit redundant.
It was then that a luxurious Maybach stopped in front of the clinic. An elderly man stepped out, holding a dragon-headed cane, accompanied by two people. One was wearing a black suit, clearly a bodyguard. The other was none other than Sima Jie. The three of them slowly walked into the clinic.
"Is Divine Doctor Li here?" the old man called out.
"Are you here for a consultation?" Li Se observed the old man. Judging by his complexion, there didn't seem to be any major issues, indicating that the old man was still quite robust.
"Let me introduce myself first." The old man took out a business card and handed it to Li Se. "My name is Sima Gang. Sima Yong is my son, and Sima Liang is my grandson."
Li Se didn't take the business card and said faintly, "What is it?"
A glint flashed in Sima Gang's eyes, but he quickly said with a smile, "My son and grandson offended you earlier, and they have received their due punishment. I've had many doctors examine them these past few days, but they were all helpless. As a father, I naturally cannot stand by and do nothing, so I've come personally to apologize on their behalf. It's my fault for not disciplining them properly. I hope Divine Doctor Li can forgive them and treat them."
This Sima Gang was very sincere and appeared genuinely remorseful.
"Heh, sorry, I can't cure this," Li Se refused with a shake of his head.
Sima Gang's expression darkened. "Name your price. What will it take for you to treat them?"
"No negotiation!" Li Se refused outright.
"Do you know what happens when you offend our Sima family?" Sima Jie angrily said.
*Slap!*
Li Se slapped him away. "You're so noisy!"
"You!" Sima Gang was somewhat enraged. He waved his hand, and soon the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. Several men in black suits entered.
"These are all experts trained by our Sima family. If you refuse to treat them today, you will have to!"
