Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1283 - House Kang's Plans

"Is… Is something wrong?" Zhaolong paused.

"Why do you think that their recipe must be the same as our injury medicine recipe? Are you going to tell the media that you bribed the vice-chairman of Miracle Doctor Guan's company to get the recipe? Our name would be completely ruined if you do that!" Miracle Doctor Kang hmphed. "Also, if you were to bring out the names of those quality ingredients, then our recipe's secret would be in danger! Those special ingredients are what's special of our injury medicine, and if people know about it, a bunch of Miracle Doctor Li's and Miracle Doctor Wangs would be popping out! We'd be looking for trouble!"

"I… Grandpa, I'm sorry! I rushed!" Zhaolong lowered his head, apologizing very unwillingly. He didn't think his words through enough when feeling rushed to make a comeback.

"Zhaoming, what are your thoughts? I didn't expect that the young tyrant master would become the best and smartest Kang now!" Miracle Doctor Kang was very pleased with Zhaoming- especially after his successes these few times. He valued him more now.

"Grandpa, I think that while we get rid of the stock in the storage, we need to do something else, we can't sit around like sitting ducks!" Zhaoming said. "The meeting of noble houses is starting soon. We need to do something, or we'll lose the chance!"

"Yes, we can't sit around and wait to die- we need to take the initiative, that's what a grandson of House Kang should do!" He nodded. "Tell me about your ideas!"

"First, we're too weak- we need a noble house that's able to support us. This candidate would actually be House Xiao since we still have a marriage alliance. Compared to the other noble houses, it's easier for us to approach them!" Zhaoming analyzed gleefully.

Everyone actually understood all these things he was analyzing, but it was just that they had lost hope. This idiot Zhaoming, however, didn't care! He just wanted to raise his standing and image, as well as authority. Who cared if it was possible, he needed to bring it up first!

"Yes, that makes sense!" Miracle Doctor Kang nodded.

Zhaolong really couldn't endure this anymore- makes sense? It didn't make shit! He knew that it was because Grandpa liked Zhaoming right now, so whatever he said would 'make sense'!

Zhaolong calmed his mind down and made a retort. "Grandpa, Zhaoming, while our relationship with the Xiaos was good before, but now… After we went to visit them, House Xiao didn't even bother with us. Do you think that they'd be interested in us anymore?"

"Hm, Zhaolong's right. Zhaoming, what do you think?" Miracle Doctor Kang wasn't actually a very capable person. In the beginning, he was just someone who didn't graduate primary school- an illiterate. With extreme coincidence, he got himself the recipe for the golden creation medicine, founding House Kang!

He wasn't a capable person! He didn't even understand basic medicine, let alone manage the family. In the past, with the injury medicine backing him up, the other families all came to kiss his ass- so even if House Kang was a bit common, it was fine.

Things were different now.

Miracle Doctor Kang's act of the mysterious medical genius hermit didn't work anymore- he did gain some skills and mindsets regarding someone in a managing position, but it was too late- he was old. When House Kang got into trouble, he was always the first to panic!

"This… Relates to the second point I was going to make! Let me finish first!" Zhaoming quickly thought of something- he connected two things together, with splendid results! Was he a genius?

"Oh? Then tell us, what's the second point?" Miracle Doctor Kang said without a doubt.

"The second thing is that I need to quickly find the recipe of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing! As long as House Kang has that pill, then everything would go our way! House Xiao wouldn't even have that attitude anymore once they realize we have the pill's recipe, they'd come trying to mend the relationship! Other noble houses would come to us, and the matter with ascending into a noble house ourselves… It would be a breeze!" Zhaoming said with one breath.

He was extremely impressed with himself- how was he able to smooth everything out like that? He was a bloody genius!

"Great idea, that's a great idea! Zhaoming truly is God's gift to House Kang!" Miracle Doctor Kang started laughing and clapping his hands.

"Grandpa, but Guan Xuemin also has the recipe- we wouldn't be the only ones with the recipe, our advantage isn't high enough!" Zhaolong went against the flow- he knew that Zhaoming was actually speaking out of his ass, and everyone knew that- but the guy did manage to connect them together, he had to admit defeat! This tyrant young master brother of his… He did have a way with words in situations like this!

"Not necessarily!" Zhaoming said. "It's said that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing is made with very rare herbs, and these Eastern medicine herbs have a limited production each year. They're rare and being competed over! So, the ones who get the ingredients first would have the upper hand! I think that, with all the business connections we have, even if we can't buy all of those rare herbs, we can buy a good portion of it- even that is enough for us to have a stable power spot! This is produced in small amounts, after all, and with their rarity, we'd still be in an advantage!"

"Not bad! Zhaolong, look at your brother- he may not be as good as you at studying, but these plots and schemes are his forte! We have to give him that! But, the scholar of the family can't be the head of the family, the head must have brains! I think Zhaoming's plan is very doable. It's settled then!" Miracle Doctor Kang said happily.

"Yes, grandpa!" Zhaoming said happily.

Zhaolong's blood was boiling- He had brains, he plots, and schemes! And, everyone knew the things that Zhaoming was saying! These were impossible tasks in his eyes, but this Zhaoming managed to connect them all together and turned it into a big plan!
