Chapter 2043 The wait is finally here
The Bai family residence in the capital city was in a state of desolation.
Bai Zheteng, the head of the Bai family, whose hair was originally gray, turned completely white overnight.
Driven by greed, he used Tang Kexin to steal the formula for the Su Group's Menglongdan pill, only to be tricked in the end.
Her most beloved grandson, Bai Shaoqing, almost lost his life while testing drugs.
Although he survived in the end, he became a cripple, losing his male function and locking himself at home all day, applying makeup and even changing his voice.
Bai Zheteng was deeply worried about this and spent a lot of money seeking medical treatment everywhere.
He even sought help from traditional Chinese medicine clinics and families of ancient doctors.
However, the feud between the Bai family and Pi Yangyang had already spread throughout the Chinese medicine community.
Whether it's the renowned doctors at the National Medical Center or the key figures in ancient medical families, they all know what Bai Shaoqing is all about.
Pi Yangyang is now a god in their eyes. Knowing that Bai Shaoqing ended up like this because he offended Pi Yangyang, how could they be willing to help him?
Moreover, even if they dared to seek treatment, they couldn't guarantee that the condition would be cured.
Bai Zheteng begged and pleaded with everyone, but he couldn't persuade these famous doctors to come.
Left with no other choice, he traveled to Japan and spent a fortune to hire Yamaguchi Iori Take.
I originally thought that this top traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Japan was capable of curing his grandson.
However, after Yamaguchi Iori took a look at Bai Shaoqing, he told Bai Zheteng directly to stop making trouble.
Bai Shaoqing's body has already undergone a reversal of yin and yang, and with his abilities, he can only watch helplessly.
Surprised and suspicious, Yamaguchi Iori insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Clinging to hope, Bai Zheteng could only suppress his humiliation and recount Bai Shaoqing's ordeal.
Yamaguchi was stunned after hearing this.
At the same time, he also knew in his heart that since Pi Yangyang was the one who did this, he was indeed powerless to do anything about it.
“Mr. Bai, there’s an old Chinese saying, ‘The one who tied the knot must untie it!’” In the end, he could only helplessly say to Bai Zheteng, “Since your grandson ended up like this because of the Dragon-Strengthening Pill, the only solution is to find the inventor of the Dragon-Strengthening Pill and ask him to intervene…”
Bai Zheteng didn't even want to listen to the end.
If I could get Pi Yangyang to come, would I need to go to Japan to invite you, you old bastard?
Today, he was sighing at home when the housekeeper suddenly came to report: "Master, someone is requesting an audience. She claims to be the board secretary of Yunding Investment, named Xiao Zhuyu."
"Yunding Investment?" Bai Zheteng was slightly taken aback. "Is that the investment company that just emerged recently?"
"It should be," the butler replied. "She said she was sent by the chairman to see the old man."
Bai Zheteng had some doubts.
Since the end of the business war between the Qi and Zhao families, the Bai family has become a forbidden area.
Apart from his family, no outsiders came to see him.
Not to mention the person in charge of any company.
The Bai family has reached a dead end and is finding it difficult to move forward.
Long San pressured the Bai family to repay the loan, leaving Bai Zheteng with no choice but to sell the two most promising companies in the Bai family to Long San.
They left behind a real estate development company, existing in name only. Not only could they not obtain any contracts, but even if they did, the Bai family couldn't come up with the start-up capital.
Although the Bai family had declined, Bai Zheteng was not truly resigned to his fate.
After all, the Bai family had once been glorious, and almost became a top-tier family in the capital.
Now that he's hit rock bottom, the sense of loss is truly painful for him, but at the same time he's trying everything he can to salvage the situation.
Therefore, he and his diners pay close attention to the changes in Beijing's business districts, waiting for an opportunity.
He was aware of Genting Investments.
A few months ago, it suddenly and aggressively entered the capital city and completed multiple investments in a very short period of time, attracting considerable attention in the capital's business circles.
Now the secretary of the board of directors of Yunding Investment has come to us. Could it be that they have their eyes on the Bai family and want to invest in them?
Thinking of this, he perked up and quickly said, "Please come in!"
The butler agreed and turned to invite the so-called Xiao Zhuyu in.
Xiao Zhuyu is the pseudonym of Zhuyu Kanako.
She was sent by Hengchuan Hayato to invite Bai Zheteng to Langfa to secretly meet with Hengchuan Hayato.
After Kanako Takeyu entered, she bowed slightly and said respectfully, "You must be Mr. Bai Zheteng, the head of the Bai family?"
Seeing the other party's humility and politeness, Bai Zheteng immediately stood up, regaining some of the imposing aura he once possessed as the head of the Bai family, and said calmly, "I am Bai Zheteng. May I ask what business Miss Xiao has with me?"
Kanako Takeyu didn't seem to care about his aloofness and said calmly, "I've come on the orders of the chairman to invite Mr. Bai to Langfa for a chat. Would Mr. Bai be willing to make the trip?"
A hint of joy flashed through Bai Zheteng's heart. After so long, he had finally rediscovered the feeling of being the head of the Bai family.
The chairman of Yunding Investment would never approach him for no reason. Could it be that the Bai family's luck has turned around?
"I wonder what your chairman wants to see me about? Miss Xiao, could you please be specific?"
But he remained unhurried and unperturbed.
Kanako Takeyu said, "Chairman Xia is interested in cooperating with your Bai family. I wonder if Mr. Bai is interested?"
Bai Zheteng's eyes lit up even more, and he almost nodded.
Interested? Absolutely!
He felt like crying.
He had waited too long for this day.
Since the dust settled on the business war, all the families and companies in the capital's business circle have been avoiding the Bai family like the plague.
Originally, they thought the Bai family was completely finished, but unexpectedly, this newly emerged Yunding Investment actually took a liking to the Bai family.
He suppressed his excitement and pretended to hesitate before saying, "Since your chairman is so kind, I naturally cannot refuse. Miss Xiao, when would Director Xia like me to go?"
How could Kanako Takeyu's eyes miss the changes in his eyes and the slight twitching of his eyebrows?
She sneered inwardly, "Old fox, you've fallen so low, yet you're still putting on an act! If your Bai family didn't still have some use, would we have even bothered to find you?"
However, she still wore a professional smile and said politely, "If it's convenient, we can set off now. Chairman Xia is already waiting for Mr. Bai in Langfa."
Bai Zheteng's eyes lit up again, and the sense of superiority from being valued became even more pronounced.
The other party was already waiting, which shows that the chairman of Yunding Investment attaches great importance to the cooperation with the Bai family.
He dropped his pretense, smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, in that case, I'll go there now."
Bai Zheteng left the Bai family with no one else, heading to Langfa with Zhuyu Kanako.
Throughout the journey, Bai Zheteng closed his eyes to rest in the car.
In fact, his heart was boiling with excitement.
After so long, the Bai family has finally got a chance to stand up again!
This time, he was determined to seize the opportunity, no matter what, even if the cooperation conditions were harsh.
Because this may be the Bai family's only chance; if they miss it, no one will ever come to the Bai family for cooperation again.
Two hours later, the car drove into a courtyard with an island-style layout.
Before even getting out of the car, Bai Zheteng saw several young women in kimonos going in and out of a house.
In addition, several short-haired young men wearing wooden clogs and black samurai outfits were walking around in the courtyard.
He was slightly taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Miss Xiao, what...where is this place?"
"This is the Zongdao Dojo. The chairman likes Bushido from Japan and often discusses it with samurai here. So, he chose this place to meet with Mr. Bai."
Kanako Takesame replied.
Bai Zheteng was suspicious, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, as long as someone is willing to help him, he doesn't care whether they are Chinese or Japanese.
Would a drowning person care who is saving him?
"Oh, Miss Xiao, please lead the way."
He straightened his back and said.
Kanako Takeyu led him to a house, gently knocked on the door frame a few times, and respectfully said, "Chairman, Mr. Bai has arrived!"
Soon, a calm male voice came from inside, "Please come in."
Kanako Takeyu opened the door, then stepped aside with a bow and said respectfully, "Mr. Shiro, please come in."
Bai Zheteng exhaled and stepped into the room.
The room was also decorated in the style of Japan.
The house was very spacious, with a tatami mat and a small tea table in the middle.
A young man dressed in a kimono sat at the tea table, pouring himself a drink.
This person is Hayato Tsunekawa.
"Mr. Bai, please have a seat."
Upon seeing Bai Zheteng enter, Hengchuan Hayato did not rise. Instead, he poured himself a cup of sake, placed it opposite him, and then pointed to the person opposite him, saying, "Mr. Bai, please sit down!"
