My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 581: Ye Siyuan: I Have an Idea! 1

Following that, Ye Junqing added, "You can either retain the current management of these pharmaceutical factories or appoint someone you trust to take on crucial roles. It’s entirely up to you. Dad won’t interfere. I’ll just wait to profit effortlessly."

Of course, the pharmaceutical factories Ye Junqing acquired included his shares. He would get a cut of every penny Si Mingjing earned. Indeed, experience counts.

Si Mingjing actually felt relieved. This is what Father-in-law deserves. With this understanding, she could accept control of the pharmaceutical factories with a clear conscience.

Si Mingjing then said, "Thank you, Dad. I’ll take the documents for these pharmaceutical factories back to review them first."

Si Mingjing rose and took her leave.

When she returned to the East Garden of the palace, she sat on her bedroom terrace, looking through the documents.

Sometime later, footsteps sounded on the terrace. It wasn’t Mo Yinhe; it was Si Lisao.

Si Lisao saw her reviewing the files and casually picked one up. After scanning it for a minute or two, his brows furrowed slightly when he noticed two pharmaceutical factories on the Mu Continent listed.

"Brother Crown Prince, what about these two pharmaceutical factories?"

Si Lisao said, "These are the two largest pharmaceutical factories on the Mu Continent. Even I didn’t know they’d already been acquired. Your father-in-law really made a brilliant move. His reach is extensive, and he operates silently."

Hearing Si Lisao personally confirm that these two factories were the largest on the Mu Continent, Si Mingjing truly felt the substantial nature of her father-in-law’s support.

These two factories must not have been easy to acquire, she thought. But Father-in-law acquired them for me.

Si Mingjing said, "I urgently need to expand our pharmaceutical production. Otherwise, the supply of traditional Chinese medicines won’t meet the demand. Father-in-law provided timely help, solving my most pressing problem. I want to contact these two factories immediately to mass-produce traditional Chinese medicine to prevent the S-virus and distribute a few boxes to every citizen."

Si Lisao pulled over a nearby chair and sat down. He nodded, his chin held with a look of proud assurance. "Good."

One of these pharmaceutical factories was located in the suburbs of Shendu, and the other in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital. Even their locations satisfied Si Mingjing to the point that she couldn’t find any fault.

She decided not to appoint new people to take over but instead retained the existing management teams at the pharmaceutical factories.

When the management discovered that their true boss was Si Mingjing, they instantly felt as if they were "eating the emperor’s grain." Previously, they had resented the power of capital that caused their factories to fall into others’ hands. Now, however, their loyalty surged in an instant.

After staying in Yecheng for a few days, Si Lisao departed for the Mu Continent.

Upon returning to the Mu Continent, he made a special point to inspect these two pharmaceutical factories. He instructed them to excel in producing the traditional Chinese medicine for preventing the S-virus. Consequently, these factories were promptly designated as key nationally supported enterprises and received significant assistance.

Time slipped by like sand through fingers; in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The renovation of Zhang Muguang’s Zhang Traditional Chinese Medicine Shop was complete, and today marked its grand opening. The ceremony was bustling with activity.

Simultaneously, Yecheng University announced the establishment of its Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. They sincerely invited Si Mingjing to serve as the department head and earnestly invited Zhang Meimei, Ban Chugang, and some of her senior martial brothers to be professors of traditional Chinese medicine.

Even several academicians from A Country’s health department, such as Academician Zhou, were invited by Dean Chen to teach. Academician Zhou readily agreed.

After Academician Zhou met Ban Chugang, they became close confidants within just two days.

They decided to establish a Traditional Medicine Research Institute in Yecheng. There, aside from teaching, they could also undertake scientific research projects.

These interconnected events became a major topic of discussion within the medical community.

Many students aspiring to study traditional Chinese medicine flocked from afar.

Since it wasn’t the usual enrollment season, the first cohort for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department was admitted through a special process, enrolling 200 students spread across three classes.

Many were practicing doctors or students from Western medical schools who were interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Some had switched their majors to study it. Others enrolled in continuing education programs while working. There were even some from smaller towns who, despite never having attended medical school, might have apprenticed with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner since childhood.

Among them was a girl who, less than a week into the term, was already hailed as the department’s belle.

Her name was Mu Genggeng. Not only was she very beautiful, but she was also the most active participant in class discussions. It seemed she wasn’t entirely ignorant about traditional Chinese medicine; she already knew many things the teachers hadn’t yet taught, allowing her to quickly stand out among the other students.

Who wouldn’t admire the department’s belle, blessed with both beauty and talent?

Mu Genggeng quickly became a prominent figure at the university.

Moreover, rumor had it that she came from a prestigious family and was the apple of their eye.

She had reportedly never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine before, only becoming interested a few months ago. Yet, simply by reading books on the subject, she had already outpaced several medical students.

She could glance at many Chinese medicinal herbs and remember their names, uses, and contraindications—truly a genius.

Even the teachers were fond of her.

Si Mingjing went to Yecheng University to have dinner with her two masters.

Zhang Meimei mentioned Mu Genggeng to Si Mingjing, saying the girl was very talented and could be specially cultivated.

"Mu Genggeng?" Si Mingjing mused. "I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before."

Si Mingjing put down her chopsticks, unable to recall where at that moment.

Zhang Meimei, delighted to have found such a promising student, said with maternal affection, "This girl has only been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine for less than six months. Yet, she has an excellent memory, grasps concepts immediately, and learns faster than the other students."

Si Mingjing asked, "Is it possible she studied traditional Chinese medicine before?"

Zhang Meimei replied, "The university investigated. It turns out she used to study dance, and her family has no background in traditional Chinese medicine. She genuinely became interested just half a year ago. In merely six months, she has surpassed others who have studied for ten years. This girl is truly talented."

Si Mingjing smiled. "Congratulations, Master, on finding another promising student."

Picking up her chopsticks to continue eating, she pondered for a while. Then, it hit her—she finally recalled where she had heard the name before.

On her birthday, Su Cheng had told her about a woman named Mu Genggeng who had designs on her husband.

This Mu Genggeng had contacted the relatives of patients who died after participating in cancer clinical trials, stirring up trouble. She had also sympathized with the Song Family and reported several people on Weibo for speaking ill of them.

Mu Genggeng...

Si Mingjing murmured the name to herself. Could she have previously learned from Old Master Song, and it was simply unknown to outsiders?

After the meal, Si Mingjing asked Song Yuan to investigate this Mu Genggeng.

Song Yuan found no evidence that Mu Genggeng had any prior experience studying traditional Chinese medicine. Indeed, her sudden passion for it had ignited just half a year ago.

Apparently, her grandmother had been critically ill at the time. Mu Genggeng, by reading medical books and formulating a prescription on her own, had miraculously cured her. The elderly woman couldn’t stop praising her granddaughter to everyone she met, lauding her self-taught proficiency.

From then on, Mu Genggeng became even more interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Often, simply by reading medical books, she was able to treat illnesses among her friends and relatives with remarkable accuracy.

If this isn’t the result of profound research in traditional Chinese medicine, then... is she truly a genius?!

Si Mingjing smiled faintly, a cryptic expression on her face. Something feels off... A bold idea formed in her mind, but she found it too absurd to consider deeply.
