Guan Xin’s Father

“Originally yesterday was the perfect opportunity for you to confess. If this continued, there might really be a chance that Guan Xin would fall for you. Then, she may even give you another chance. Yesterday’s failure was a misstep. Let’s learn from our mistakes and not use the same strategy twice. Even if we reuse our strategy it wouldn’t have any effect, so I feel that we should change up the strategy again!”

“What you are saying is all crap. I know that already!” Kang Zhaoming weakly sighed, “What I want is for a successful strategy and not your analysis! I don’t have anymore time, don’t you know that? My House is rushing me for results. If I don’t get the formula, then my House’s reputation will fall. Then, you two wouldn’t have my support as you wouldn’t have as much prestige as before!”

“Well…” Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang were speechless. They knew that things couldn’t be as simple as just trying to get the formula. Kang Zhaoming was spot on when he said that once the House Kang drops in prestige, then they wouldn’t be able to do things as they pleased.

Thinking up to this point, Wang Shubin took a big breath before going deep in thought.

Kang Zhaoming didn’t want to break his concentration, since Wang Shubin was considered a think tank, most of the strategy relied on him.

“I know!” Wang Shubin suddenly shouted, “Master Zhaoming, all of these indicators have shown that Guan Xin is a good girl. So these types of girls are very obedient to the teachings of the family. So I suggest that you go directly to House Guan to propose. There may be hope there! Just think about it. You are Miracle Doctor Kang’s grandson, and she is Miracle Doctor Guan’s granddaughter. You two could be a power couple, I think Guan Xuemin wouldn’t oppose this marriage proposal, right?”

“Your idea feels like it is actually viable. But, you need to get something straight. I’m chasing Guan Xin to trick her into giving up the formulas. I don’t want to marry her, I might mess around with her, but marriage is definitely out of the question!” Kang Zhaoming declared, “If I can get the formula, why would I marry? Even if you say that it is a marriage proposal, big events like these should be arranged by my grandfather. I shouldn’t do something as ridiculous as going to Guan Xuemin to propose a marriage. Do you think Guan Xuemin would believe us?”

“Well…” Wang Shubin hesitated, “Then, Master Zhaoming, why don’t you take this opportunity to pay him a visit. You can say that you want to interact and know Guan Xin better like a friend? That way it wouldn’t be an official marriage proposal, but it would hint at one. That way Guan Xuemin won’t reject you right away, and you can still get closer to Guan Xin,”

“Ah… You are right!” Kang Zhaoming finally nodded, “The problem is that I’m not familiar with Guan Xuemin, and we were never formally introduced. If he rejects my suggestion, then what can I do?”

“Then… let me think. Master Zhaoming, since you aren’t officially proposing, but suggesting to meet Guan Xin as a friend, then I don’t see why Guan Xuemin would reject you. As long as he doesn’t give you a solid rejection, then anything is possible,” Wang Shubin added. “Well there is a possibility that he strongly rejects you, then even if you were able to win over Guan Xin’s heart, he would try to break up the relationship. He definitely won’t give the formula to Guan Xin!”

“That sounds reasonable! The key factor is House Guan’s attitude towards you! So let’s hurry and pay Guan Xuemin a visit!” Kang Zhaoming nodded. “I don’t think we should go empty handed. I should go back home to ask my family for their opinion on what to bring as a first meeting gift!”

The three were in deep conversation until it was already time for the shifts to end. Guan Xin and Lee Xiaomei left their work together and arrived at the entrance gate. Guan Xin turned to Lee Xiaomei and said “Xiaomei, you can go home alone tonight, I have other matters to attend to…”

“Oh? Is that a date?” Lee Xiaomei raised her eyebrows. While giggling, she added, “it wouldn’t be with that Kang Zhaoming right?”

“Why would that be possible?” Guan Xin glared back. “You can hold a knife to my neck and I wouldn’t go on a date with him. Stop guessing, my dad is coming to Songshan City for business, he is dropping by to pick me up,”

“Ah, I see, I see. So that’s the reason!” Lee Xiaomei nodded, “Is it the rumored major shareholder? The one that even the Hospital Dean had to come out to greet?”

“My dad is just driving by, he isn’t coming here to pay an official visit . So why would he have to notify the Hospital Dean?” Guan Xin was chuckling loudly, “Well I’ll leave first!”

Right as Guan Xin had said those words, a parked Audi A6L drove over to the gate entrance. The car was very inconspicuously parked outside away from the entrance, and since it hadn’t entered the hospital vicinity, no one had discovered that it was the hospital shareholder, Guan Xiaoxiang’s car.

“Master Zhaoming, Guan Xin is walking out…” Wang Shubin notified Kang Zhaoming when he noticed her.

“Oh? Why isn’t she riding in the commuter shuttle?” Kang Zhaoming was stunned. Their plan was to wait until Guan Xin boarded the commuter shuttle and tail it with his own car. Then, ring the door to ask for a meeting with Guan Xuemin. He didn’t think that there was a slight chance that Guan Xin wouldn’t board the commuter shuttle. Could she have different plans for tonight?

“No way… oh? Master Zhaoming, she went into that Audi A6L. It has a Songjiang license plate…” Zhu Xiaozhang pointed at the direction of where Guan Xin was heading towards.

“Songjiang City license plate? Could it be that Guan Xin is going to meet with her lover?” Kang Zhaoming’s face darken. Most of the owners of Audi A6L are male, and it was confirmed when Guan Xin opened up the car door which lit up the interior of the car to reveal a male car driver.

“It doesn’t seem to be a lover? The guy looks a lot older…” Zhu Xiaozhang rubbed his eyes a few times as he chimed in.

“Could it be that he is picking up a prostitute?” Zhu Xiaozhang blurted out. It was at that moment, he knew he fucked up. Kang Zhaoming’s expression looked angry and disgusted as he ordered them, “Investigate the owner of the car! Who is it! Ahhh, I’m so mad!”

Kang Zhaoming felt insulted. He thought that the reason Guan Xin didn’t accept his love confession was due to the fact that she was too innocent-minded and pure like a sheet of white paper. She was without any experiences of love, so she subconsciously had that barrier to outsiders! However, from the look of things, it doesn’t seem like this was the case?

Zhu Xiaozhang and Wang Shubin didn’t have many reliable connections in Songshan City. However, in Donghai City they were able to piggyback off Kang Zhaoming’s relationship to meet many exceptional individuals. With one phone call, they were able to reach an insurance broker to find out the details leading to that car.

“Master Zhaoming, that car belongs to Ming Yang Pharmaceutical Company Limited…” Zhu Xiaozhang reported his findings back to Kang Zhaoming.

“Ming Yang Pharmaceutical Company Limited? Why does the name sound so familiar?” Kang Zhaoming frowned. He kept on repeating the name, in hopes of remembering it.

“I remember now! Master Zhaoming, that Ming Yang Pharmaceutical Company is owned by Guan Xin’s dad!” Wang Shubin had thoroughly researched Guan Xin before. He was responsible for gathering information and he remembered seeing the name show up, so it was familiar to him.
