From Sidekick to Bigshot

The atmosphere became rather awkward.

When Zhang Xuming felt this, he opened his mouth to say: “Mr. Wei, you’re mistaken. I invited Miss Yiling to come today. She’s my guest. Master Sheng may not be aware of my invitation.”

Then, Zhang Xuming added: “In addition, my little friend is Dr. F.S. You should have heard of her name before.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard of her name before. However, in this day and age, the media can hype things up too much. Therefore, I wouldn’t dare to believe in those so-called reports and news articles easily.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuming smiled: “Please don’t worry about that. I’ve seen her talent with my own eyes.”

The smile on Wei Qirui’s face froze for a moment. Then, he continued to say: “Well, it seems as though Miss Yiling is indeed a very good surgeon.”

However, everyone seated at this desk today was incredibly powerful and respected individuals in society.

Therefore, why was a simple surgeon here?

If it weren’t for the fact that she was connected with the Zhai family, how would she be qualified to sit here?

And thus, Zhang Xuming’s words could only help Jian Yiling a little bit.

The news that Zhang Xuming had found a successor quickly reached the ears of the others at the birthday today.

“Wow, I wonder who is so lucky,” Zhu Zimo commented. He was incredibly curious. “Zhang Xuming doesn’t have children. Therefore, the person he chooses to be his successor is likely to inherit the company and also his entire fortune. His fortune is likely to be worth billions of dollars.”

Zhu Zimo couldn’t help but envy that person.

Xuming Medical Manufacturers had great prospects for the future. Right now, they led the medical equipment manufacturing industry.

Therefore, the successor would obtain the entirety of Zhang Xuming’s wealth and social status.

Wen Ruo commented: “Hmmm, it’s probably someone that’s incredibly capable and talented. After all, Elder Zhang seems rather picky when it comes to these things. He definitely wouldn’t choose an ordinary person.”

Then, Zhu Zimo glanced towards the main table: “Hmm, I think your cousin seems quite familiar with Elder Zhang. Could you find an opportunity to talk to her later on? Could you ask her to help me?”

“I don’t really want to ask her for help,” Wen Ruo replied. The expression on Wen Ruo’s face became a bit ugly.

“Is it because of what happened last time? Wasn’t that just a misunderstanding? Furthermore, in the end, didn’t she save your father’s life?” Zhu Zimo replied. He felt like what happened last time was not a big deal.

Wen Ruo bit down on her lower lip. She did not say anything to counter Zhu Zimo’s point. However, she did not agree with his statement either.

“Please, I beg you! Please do this favor for me!” Zhu Zimo said as he softened his tone.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo was torn.

She didn’t want to beg Jian Yiling. Her ego did not allow her to do so.

Furthermore, regarding what happened…

She still didn’t know whether or not Jian Yiling had any evidence.

If she had evidence, Wen Ruo definitely did not want to ask Jian Yiling for help. In fact, she wouldn’t even want to get close to Jian Yiling.

However, there was no way for her to refuse Zhu Zimo’s request either.

Seeing Wen Ruo waver, Zhu Zimo continued to convince his girlfriend: “Please Wen Ruo. My uncle asked me for help. If you can help me, when we get married in the future, everyone in my family will think highly of you.”

People in the Zhu family did not approve of Zhu Zimo dating Wen Ruo.

This point was known to Wen Ruo.

Wen Ruo had worried about this before. After all, if the Zhu family did not agree to the marriage, what could she do?

After hesitating for a while, Wen Ruo finally nodded her head and agreed: “Okay, I understand. I will find a chance to talk to her later.”

After all, Jian Yiling had already spared her. There were only two cases. The first being she didn’t have any evidence. The second being Jian Yiling cared about her father.

And thus, Jian Yiling shouldn’t snap at her.

Therefore, she would try to communicate with Jian Yiling. Whether or not it would work was another story in itself.
