Xu Qingmu had never thought that Gu Chen would run to Chuancheng at this time.
'I was originally worried that after this job, he would take Ji Pianran and hide somewhere else.'
'But I didn't expect that this guy would be so bold as to disrupt the medicinal herb market in Chuancheng and then dare to run under my nose!'
'Does he really think that I, Xu Qingmu, am a pushover?'
Xu Qingmu paced back and forth in his office at the moment, and the smile on his face became increasingly cold.
This Gu Chen really is bold!
'Young master, that Gu Chen doesn't have any roots in Chuancheng. If he wanted to plot against us, I think he would have already hidden in the Ji family manor.'
'After all, if he were somewhere else, then our people would have already found him a long time ago,'
the butler standing nearby couldn't help but say.
Xu Qingmu nodded.
'Good!'
He then waved his hand at the person next to him, and the subordinate standing in front of him immediately bowed and retreated.
'Butler, go and send some trusted people to keep a close eye on the Ji family's house. No matter what happens inside, don't miss a thing.'
'Also, if you find Gu Chen coming out of there, then...do it right away. I don't want his life, but I want you to cripple him. Got it?'
Xu Qingmu said with a sinister smile.
He dared to compete with him for a woman and mess with his business, he really had enough of living.
The butler didn't expect Xu Qingmu to be so ruthless, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
But he didn't dare to disagree in the slightest, and immediately bowed and said, 'Yes, young master, I'll go down and make the arrangements.'
After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
This is really scary, I don't want to stay near Xu Qingmu for another minute.
However, Xu Qingmu was sitting on the sofa in his office at the moment, and a cruel smile could not help but curl the corner of his mouth.
'Haha... Gu Chen, I'll see how long you can hide in the Ji family this time! Dare to oppose me Xu Qingmu, from now on, I'll let you know what it means to be better off dead.'
Xu Qingmu's tone was very gloomy, and his eyes became even more ruthless.
It was as if he were a poisonous snake, constantly spitting out venom, full of killing intent.
...
One week later.
Gu Chen, who had been staying at the Ji family manor for several days, did not know that Xu Qingmu was preparing to secretly take action against him.
At the moment, he was immersed in the joy of the new medicine being completed.
'Master, the medicine you have prepared this time is really very effective.
I tried it with my wife last night, after so many years.
This is the first time I have tamed this tiger woman, you are really amazing!'
A young-looking servant was standing in front of Gu Chen, speaking respectfully.
He also chattered on, vividly describing Gu Chen's prowess last night.
To be honest, this person was specially sent by the Ji family to test the medicine for him.
However, after spending time together over the past few days, it was clear that the two had become more familiar with each other.
The other person also knew that Gu Chen, the new master, had a better temper and never treated the servants harshly.
The bonus he was given this time was particularly high, and now that the new medicine had been successfully developed, even he was very happy.
Gu Chen also revealed a smile from the bottom of his heart, and then reached out and patted the servant on the shoulder and said:
'You have been testing the medicine for me for the past few days, and it has been hard work. I will speak to my father-in-law and Uncle Guang afterwards.
I will promote you to be a manager in charge of a region, so work hard in the future and don't let me down.'
'Yes, thank you, young master, for your kindness!'
Hearing this, the servant was so excited that he trembled all over.
He was originally just a handyman on the manor, but now he would be able to enter the Xu family group and work as a middle manager.
Although he would be assigned to take care of the family's properties in other places,
for him, this was already no different from the pinnacle of life.
'You earned this through your own hard work, so don't thank me,' Gu Chen waved his hand nonchalantly.
The servant also knew that he had lost his temper, and quickly bowed and retreated.
Gu Chen's gaze fell on the two medicine bottles on the table.
The one on the left he named Tianyuan Lingzhi Powder.
It mainly treats bruises, stops bleeding and relieves pain, and is just as effective as the Xu family's.
The only difference is that a small amount of perennial lingzhi is added.
So in terms of actual effect, it is several times more effective than Qihua Blood-clotting Pill.
As for the bottle on the right, Gu Chen named it Longfeng Huichun Pill.
The main ingredient is Lingquan water and several other medicinal herbs, which are mixed together.
In terms of efficacy, it is already no worse than the small pills he saw in later generations.
If it is compared with the Xu family's medicine, it is basically no different from being crushed.
The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more excited he felt, and he then directly put the two bottles of medicine on his body.
However, although the new medicine was successfully prepared, it was still impossible to go straight to market.
So he could only send it to the research institute first for clinical trials.
Only after getting the endorsement of the research institute could the two medicines be officially sold as health products.
Gu Chen first greeted the butler Bai Guang, and then excitedly got into the car.
After asking for the location, he went straight to the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research.
However, after half an hour or so, Gu Chen had successfully arrived at the bottom of the research institute of Chuanceng University.
He was about to park the car when he saw a new Audi blocking the road.
There weren't many cars these days.
Not to mention the high price, only a few models were allowed to be imported.
The person on the other side could actually afford such a luxury car, not only did they have to be rich, they also had to have connections.
Gu Chen suddenly felt that there were quite a lot of rich people in Chuancheng, not at all inferior to Haicheng.
Knowing that the other person's identity might not be ordinary, Gu Chen was not so anxious.
He just parked on the side and waited for the other person to slowly park the car first.
Unexpectedly, he had to wait for ten minutes.
Gu Chen just sat in the car, watching the other person, going left and right.
It was a small parking space, but no matter how many times he went back and forth, he could not park the car.
At first, he found it quite interesting. After all, there weren't many people like this before his rebirth.
But after watching for a while, he gradually felt like his legs were going to fall asleep.
Because he suddenly realised that if the other person kept on parking like that, he would never be able to park his car, even if he waited until dark.
And this person was so stubborn, just swaying back and forth in the middle of the road.
The whole road was blocked by the other person, so even if Gu Chen wanted to go somewhere else, he couldn't.
With no choice, he got out of the car and walked over to it.
At the same time, he waved his hand vigorously at the Audi and shouted,
'Do you need help? If you want to park in, I can help...'
Gu Chen had just started to speak when he couldn't help but narrow his pupils for a split second.
He saw the Audi suddenly hit the accelerator and come straight at him.
