From Sidekick to Bigshot

Wen Ruo also saw Zhai Yunsheng’s post: “Already married, please do not disturb.”

She could feel Zhai Yunsheng’s love for Jian Yiling even through the screen.

Then, Wen Ruo thought about Zhai Yunsheng’s handsome and evil face.

It felt as though her heart was stabbed by a thorn.

After closing her phone, Wen Ruo looked up at the person seated opposite her.

Currently, Wen Ruo was eating with Zhu Zimo.

This time, Zhu Zimo told Wen Ruo about some business dealings.

He told her that he planned to purchase some of the medical equipment from Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

One of Zhu Zimo’s uncles opened a private hospital in another country. His uncle wanted to purchase equipment from Xuming Medical Manufacturers. This was because the new equipment produced by Xuming Medical Manufacturers offered them new possibilities for treatment.

Furthermore, several other private hospitals in their country had already purchased the new equipment from Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

As he did not want to be left behind, Zhu Zimo’s uncle desperately wanted to purchase the equipment.

However, it was notoriously difficult to purchase the equipment.

Apparently, the company’s orders were already scheduled until the end of next year. Furthermore, they stopped taking orders beyond that.

Zhu Zimo’s uncle wanted his nephew to help him through his connections. By doing so, he could cut the queue and purchase the equipment quickly.

Zhu Zimo said to Wen Ruo: “Tomorrow, the Chairman of Xuming Medical Manufacturers is celebrating his birthday. It’s his 80th birthday. You should accompany me to his birthday.”

As of now, the Zhu family wasn’t incredibly familiar with the Chairman of Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

However, in the past, Zhu Zimo’s grandfather had many business dealings with individuals in the Beijing circle. This included Xuming Medical Manufacturers. Back then, the company was performing quite poorly.

“Okay,” Wen Ruo replied. She was willing to attend the birthday. After all, previously, the Wen family was unable to attend.

The Wen family did not have any connections with the medical industry. In this regard, the Zhu family was much more powerful.

“Also, I heard that the Chairman plans to make an announcement on his birthday,” Zhu Zimo said.

“Hmmm, is it about his retirement?” Wen Ruo guessed.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought as well.”

Everyone guessed this.

The Chairman was already in his eighties. If he had a successor, he would have retired ages ago.

However, no suitable successor had been found. As a result, until now, the old gentleman acted as the Chairman and the CEO of Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

The next day, the Chairman of Xuming Medical Manufacturers held his 80th birthday at a restaurant.

The Chairman’s name was Zhang Xuming. Xuming Medical Manufacturers was named after him.

His old gentleman’s life could be described with ups and downs.

Xuming Medical Manufacturers had experienced difficulties several times during its operations.

Two years ago, when he was seventy-eight years old, the company had once again gotten into trouble.

Back then, people said that he was on the verge of death. His company would go down with him and be buried alongside him.

However, a big turnaround happened at this time.

Xuming Medical Manufacturers did not end up collapsing. Instead, they made a complete comeback.

Zhu Zimo and Wen Ruo dressed up for this birthday.

The two of them came up to the Chairman of Xuming Medical Manufacturers to greet the old gentleman.

Although Zhang Xuming was eighty years old, his body was still strong. The only problem he had with his body was his legs and feet. He couldn’t stand for a long period of time.

When Zhu Zimo appeared with Wen Ruo, Zhang Xuming turned around to his assistant. His assistant whispered the identity of Zhu Zimo and Wen Ruo to the Chairman.

“Ahh, it’s the grandson of Elder Zhu,” Zhang Xuming smiled as he sized up Zhu Zimo.

“Yes,” Zhu Zimo replied politely.
