From Sidekick to Bigshot

After a while, Mr. Hall smiled and said to Zhai Yunsheng: “Ahh, I really needed your help with this matter. With your help, my thought process became much more clearer.”

“You’re welcome Mr. Hall,” Zhai Yunsheng responded. He had a light smile on his face.

As Henry sensed that Mr. Hall and Zhai Yunsheng’s conversation was about to end, he gently interrupted:

“Mr. Hall, I have a bottle of red wine that dates back to 1982. Would you like to taste it? Young Master Zhai, would you like to join as well?”

Henry knew that Mr. Hall liked wine. In fact, Mr. Hall especially liked red wine.

Upon receiving this invitation, Mr. Hall smiled and declined: “I’m sorry Mr. Henry. I do indeed enjoy red wine. I would love to try it; however, I’m currently discussing an overseas business cooperation with Young Master Zhai. If I drink a lot of red wine, I don’t think I will be able to discuss this matter anymore.”

Mr. Hall’s words once again made Henry traumatized.

Mr. Henry could only smile awkwardly as he stuttered out: “Yes… I…”

It appeared as though his fears had come true… The Habsburg family was indeed planning to cooperate with the Zhai family…

Ahh, things were going to be hard to manage.

He did not want to go against the Habsburg family. And to make matters worse, if his family knew about what was happening, he would lose his position in the Goodman family… After all, his attempt to break into the Eastern markets was about to fail and it also appeared as though he was working against the Habsburg family.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng smiled wickedly: “Well, I wouldn’t mind if you’re drunk. If you’re drunk, you can give up all the benefits and profits to me.”

“Young Master Zhai, you’re so cheeky! The Zhai family is already making so much profit off this deal. Are you still planning to exploit me further?” Mr. Hall joked.

Although Zhai Yunsheng and Mr. Hall were a generation apart in age, they still joked around with each other. Therefore, it was evident that they had a really good relationship.

Henry glanced at Lucy beside him. He was signaling her to do something.

Upon seeing this, Lucy opened her mouth and directed the conversation at Jian Yiling. Until now, Jian Yiling had been sitting quietly next to Zhai Yunsheng.

“I heard that Miss Jian Yiling is a doctor?”

Lucy had done her research on Jian Yiling. She knew that Jian Yiling was a doctor. In addition, she also knew that Jian Yiling had been a member of the Huiling Medical Research Institution. After that, she joined Lahaisen Hospital.

Although she hadn’t heard of the Huiling Medical Research Institution, Lucy knew a little about Lahaisen Hospital.

It was a medical institution that rose to fame in recent years.

However, it did not matter how famous Jian Yiling was in the medical world. In the end, she was just a doctor.

In front of the Goodman family, even the most talented doctors were just individuals with salaries slightly higher than ordinary individuals. They did not pose a threat.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling responded.

“Then do you admit all kinds of patients on a daily basis?” Lucy asked.

Zhai Yunsheng answered the question for Jian Yiling: “Miss Lucy, you’re making an assumption about doctors. My fiancee Yiling does not need to do those trivial things.”

It was very obvious that Zhai Yunsheng was defending Jian Yiling. In fact, to some degree, it seemed as though Lucy was harming his fiancee by asking such questions.

Lucy: “I see. Well, I was wondering about something. After you guys get married, do you still plan to continue working as a doctor? Or will you become a stay-at-home wife?”

Lucy did not reveal any animosity towards Jian Yiling.

However, before Jian Yiling got an opportunity to reply, Zhai Yunsheng once again answered the question for her: “Miss Lucy, why are you asking so many questions about our personal matters? Are you expressing your care? If so, I’d like to thank Miss Lucy. However, if not, please do not pry into the private life of the two of us any further. I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings. In particular, I don’t want you to have any strange thoughts about me. After all, I’m already an engaged man.”
