Chapter 449 - Company Plans

“Probably.

I dont know what hes doing, acting like a child at that age,” Xuemin said with a smile.

“He didnt mean what he said about me losing my wits.

Thats why he came back with the documents I asked for so quickly.

He doesnt have anything against you; he was just saying that to me, to vent some of that dissatisfaction with me! Yi, he involved for no reason.

It wouldve been the same for anyone.”

“I see, I see.” Lin Yi nodded, enlightened.

“But Uncle Guan seems to be doing rather well He doesnt rely on the family anymore”

“Not really, not after last time.” Xuemin shook his head and gave a wry smile.

“But, Xiaoxiangs lucky.

He found a sponsor even more powerful, and now hes doing very well.

He does come visit once in a while to prove how he doesnt need me to succeed.”

“Haha, I didnt think Uncle Guan had that side to him.” Lin Yi smiled.

“He probably knows you did what you did for his sake.

Its just that he hasnt gotten over it yet.”

“He knows.

Youre right, he just hasnt gotten over it,” Xuemin said.

“Alright, lets stop talking about him.

Ive gotten used to it after all these years.

He looks apathetic around me, but he still cares.”

“Wonder who my parents are….

Haha,” Lin Yi said, a little emotional.

Hed only understood what it meant to have parents after growing up, but he never managed to get over thinking about how his parents had abandoned him.

Fortunately for him, he had two mentors who loved him.

It was enough of a replacement for parental love.

Xuemin paused.

Hed made some guesses at Lin Yis background and even thought that he was the descendant of the man whod given him some pointers.

It was one of the reasons why he trusted Lin Yi unconditionally, but he just never asked the question aloud.

Lin Yi never talked about it, so he didn\'t think it was appropriate to just mention it out of nowhere.

He was also worried that it might be meant to be secret, and Lin Yi not being able to answer his question would only make things awkward.

“You… dont know who your parents are” Xuemin looked at Lin Yi, surprised.

“Haha, I have two mentors.

They treat me nice, like Im their son.

Theyre a little strict, but they do it for my sake.” Lin Yi wouldnt hide that information intentionally.

There wasnt much to hide anyway.

“Its good you think that way.

As long as its someone who treats you well, it doesnt matter if theyre your real parents or not.

You can always treat them as so, right” Xuemin smiled.

“Shifu, shifu, that means a fatherlike teacher!”1

“Yeah, thats right.

I didnt really miss out on my childhood, so my mentalitys pretty normal.” Lin Yi nodded seriously.

“Did your shifu teach you medicine” Xuemin asked after some hesitation.

“Yeah.

One taught me martial arts, and the other taught me medicine.

Theres a bad shifu too.

He teaches me how to steal and gamble,” Lin Yi said with a wry smile.

“I see.” Xuemin felt his head aching a little from the complexity of Lin Yis relationships with his shifu.

“If your medical skills are this good, then your shifu—”

“Haha, thats not something I can tell you, Grandpa Guan.

Both my old man shifu and my martial arts shifu have a bit of a special case going on with their identities.

So, sorry, but I need to keep it a secret until I get their permission.” Lin Yi didnt want to hide too much from Xuemin, but these sensitive matters should only be discussed with their permission.

Matters like these were kept unclear even to people close to him, like Huaijun.

“Its alright, I was just asking.” Xuemin was a little disappointed, but understood where Lin Yi was coming from.

He wasnt wrong to keep that information hidden.

“Lets talk about the company then.

For the initial stage, only the painkillers and injury medications can be released.

Theres no formulas for the other types, so I cant make any decision there.”

“Haha, I do have other formulas for those types, but I wonder which ones will sell better” Lin Yi wasnt well-versed in the business side.

“Well, as long as its effective, anything sells,” Xuemin said.

“Common cold medicine, for example, will sell well if you add a couple of side effects to it! But medicines like that have old, stable brands and companies already.

Its a little pointless to go into that competition now.”

“Cold medicine formulas are set already.

Even if I improve them there wont be too much of a difference.

Our best bet is using acupuncture or cupping, but unless were in a clinic, its impractical.

We cant just mark acupuncture needles and cups as common medicine people buy, right” Lin Yi nodded with a smile.

“Actually, Im not an expert myself in business.

Its just my personal opinion,” Xuemin said.

“You should hire an expert to manage the company.”

“True, but its not easy to just find a manager.” Lin Yi understood what Xuemin was saying.

“Theres the matter of trust, and the matter of ability….

Whether or not the medicine company starts with a bang depends on the managers competence.”

“Thats a question for Mr.

Lai.

Hes been in the business industry for a long time; hes experienced.

Asking him to locate a manager shouldnt be difficult at all!” Xuemin said.

“At least its much easier than if we do it.”

“Thats true.” Lin Yi nodded.

Fatty Lai came rushing back after around half an hour, a couple of bags of medicine in his hands as he burst into Xuemins study.

“Miracle Doctor Lin, I bought them! I bought them all!”

With that, Fatty Lai put the bags in front of Lin Yi on the coffee table.

Lin Yi looked at how many bags there were on the table.

How come there were so many Even if hed asked for one gram per medicinal item, there shouldnt be this many!

Lin Yi opened the first bag to check the number of medicinal reagents inside.

It was according to his list, five ounces of items.

Lin Yi didnt understand.

“This is all we need.

Whats with the other bags”

“The other bags have the same contents, but from different places!” Fatty Lai panted.

“Theres a lot of scammers nowadays, so I was worried that some stores would sell fake medicine.

I thought that itd be safer to visit other stores.”

Lin Yi didnt know what to say.

These werent cheap.

Fatty Lai sure didnt mind spending money! He remembered how hed gifted him an entire skyscraper to please him….

This didnt seem like much compared to that.
