Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 679 The Good Show Begins

Qiao Xi pretended to lie down for three days at home, her face pale, hair disheveled.

She ate little, and in these short three days, her face visibly thinned. Her eyes had some red veins, looking haggard.

During these three days, she went upstairs every day to help Cheng Han recuperate when others weren’t around.

Although he was still unconscious, his breathing became much more stable.

Her master’s life was entirely saved by her, but this serious injury damaged his vitality to some extent, it’s uncertain how much he will recover in the future.

Besides her usual coming and going, the third floor of the Huo Family was strictly guarded by those bodyguards.

They kept a tight guard.

No one was allowed to enter, sometimes even Huo Xingzhou was stopped, saying it was the Young Madam’s orders not to be disturbed casually.

Qiao Xi dressed neatly, simply applied some makeup to cover her haggardness.

The Lu Family father and daughter are suspicious.

Dealing with them requires caution and prudence.

If she seemed overly haggard, it would be worse than doing nothing.

Qiao Xi walked down to the living room and said to the people there, "Old Chen, let’s go."

"Alright, Young Madam."

Qiao Xi glanced around; Huo Xingzhou’s figure was already gone from the living room, presumably off to work again.

Old Chen had the car ready, opened the door for Qiao Xi to get in.

"Young Madam, I’ve brought everything. You can do whatever you want, there’s another car behind with four bodyguards. If you want to overthrow the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, I’ll get our people together in short notice."

Seeing such a grand arrangement, Qiao Xi laughed and said, "You’re joking, it’s not that serious."

If she could have openly overthrown the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, it wouldn’t have taken so long.

Moreover, not everyone in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is bad.

"Let’s go!"

Old Chen drove all the way to the door of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association; many directors and members saw the familiar Rolls Royce and paused.

There have been numerous rumors about the Huo Family and Cheng Han in the past few days.

Qiao Xi has been staying indoors, avoiding even the beauty salon and not taking any consultations.

Rumor has it she was so lost in grief that she fell gravely ill.

"I thought she wouldn’t come."

"It’s understandable that she’s sad about her master’s death. We also feel regret about Mr. Cheng’s passing."

"Yes, after all, he was a helm in the Chinese Medicine Community. The only one with the title of National Doctor in recent decades."

"Such a pity, I heard President Lu called a meeting today for this matter, to see what he’s up to."

As Qiao Xi got off the car, many people took a thorough look at her face.

They whispered a few words of condolence under their breath.

Qiao Xi nodded slightly and walked inside.

Old Chen followed by her side, never leaving an inch.

Upon reaching the front of the Bell Tower, he was stopped. These security guards already recognized him, highly vigilant.

"Irrelevant personnel cannot enter; you can’t just barge in this time."

"No way, I must go in."

This time Old Chen did not back down, "If you don’t let me in, I’ll find a way to get inside anyway. I have the skills, you want to try?"

He pointed at the sturdy bodyguards behind him, "You don’t let me in, we’ll charge in together. We’re not causing trouble, what’s the rule not allowing bodyguards? What if someone goes crazy and harms our Young Madam?"

"Our Young Madam is the only disciple of National Doctor Cheng Han, and his bones aren’t even cold yet. If the disciple gets hurt in your Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, how will you explain to the outsiders?"

His threats indeed intimidated these security guards.

After all, this restriction was just President Lu’s verbal order, not written down.

They exchanged glances, stepping back a little. If something happened to Vice President Qiao, the people mourning Cheng Han outside might indeed tear them apart!

"Alright, just you follow. The rest of the tall ones stay outside, you... you go in saying you’re Vice President Qiao’s assistant." The security gave Old Chen an excuse; bringing an assistant was no problem.

Sometimes President Lu also brought in an assistant, and nobody stopped them.

"Great, appreciate your understanding."

Old Chen laughed, baring his large teeth, and followed behind Qiao Xi inside.

On the other side.

The Lu Family father and daughter were already seated in the large conference room.

This time, Lu Yingxue knew where her place was.

The directors came in one after another.

Qiao Xi delayed for a moment, entering last.

As she entered, Lu Yingxue scrutinized her face intently.

Really, even foundation couldn’t hide the fatigue, Qiao Xi must have been going through a rough time lately.

Lu Yingxue settled her mind, with a slight smile on her lips, not letting anyone see.

Today, besides holding a meeting, she wanted to discuss a matter with Qiao Xi. The scar on her face couldn’t wait any longer; she must use the Jade Skin Ointment.

Surely, Qiao Xi would have to agree to the month’s limit in this exchange.

Lu Yingxue couldn’t think of a reason she would refuse; if she knew Cheng Qingnian’s identity, she would agree even more.

She and her father weren’t afraid of Cheng Qingnian’s identity being revealed; after all, there were some old fellows around Qiao Xi who would give her the news, and their Lu Family hasn’t completely kept it secret.

The foolish woman taken by Qiao Xi for a month, wouldn’t matter much.

In this month, her illness can’t be cured, not even a scratch.

Lu Yingxue’s smile deepened.

Qiao Xi walked to the conference table, and Old Chen pulled her chair out.

She sat down slowly.

Lu Yingxue glanced and said, "Vice President Qiao’s prestige is growing. Meetings at the Bell Tower aren’t supposed to have bodyguards, but you have special privileges. Though for the sake of your master Cheng Han, we’ll be considerate."

Old Chen’s voice boomed, "I’m the Young Madam’s assistant, not a bodyguard. Is there a rule against assistants entering?"

"Don’t fuss over such trivial matters."

Lu Bannong was best at playing the good guy, a reassuring smile on his face, "This is merely a temporary meeting, as long as we don’t disrupt the order."

Lu Yingxue had no choice but to give up.

She crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair, hidden hostility in her eyes.

Once she was done using Qiao Xi, then she would plan her revenge.

Lu Bannong lightly coughed twice, "Now, let’s begin our meeting topic."

"It’s well known that Mr. Cheng’s passing is a regret for our Chinese Medicine Community. The spontaneous online tributes to him are increasing, the impact widespread." Lu Bannong glanced at Qiao Xi and continued.

"Therefore, my purpose in calling this temporary meeting today is to invite everyone to discuss electing Mr. Cheng as our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association’s permanent honorary president. Feel free to share opinions, encourage lively discussion. I’ve prepared morning tea; if no conclusion is reached, we have a second part."

As Lu Bannong spoke, Qiao Xi turned to look at him.

Seemingly surprised by his proposition.

But quickly she understood.

Lu Bannong was gaining from his actions while appearing benevolent.
