Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman-Chapter 333: Dishonest Practices (歪门邪道)
She had only stayed here for a single night and hadn’t met anyone in that same period. She also only received the list of regulations that morning, so how was it that she’d ‘benefited’?
Could it be that being chased after and beaten up could also be called a ‘benefit’?
Jing Yun Zhao was utterly confused, “Explain properly, why has she set her sights on me?”
A hint of mockery flashed in the man’s eyes: “Everyone is clear on this. Since you’re also here, it’s impossible not to know. You have used the invitation and even live in the Old Senior’s assigned room, so the people would definitely need to prepare a gift for you.
Since you are here on behalf of the Old Senior, then you are also a senior. On the other hand, you are also not the Old Senior, so in the competition later, everyone would have to go easy on you. To put it bluntly, you are the default champion behind closed doors. Later on, once you’ve received the reputation, the gifts, and just left like nobody’s business, everyone would still have to wait on you, and even find a way to get closer with you…”
The other explained clearly and concisely, and once he was done, Jing Yun Zhao’s face turned black.
Turning around, she looked at the trio, but saw that their expressions too were quite unsightly.
“Then why is it that they have to prepare a gift for me and even let me win?” Jing Yun Zhao’s expression was frigid, “Because all of you suspect that I am Elder Xu’s disciple, so you have to give him some face?”
“Since you’re so understanding about it, everyone will do their best to hold back their frustrations to themselves, but Shan Shan is still in the prime of her youth; Cui Jun headed to your room early in the day to wait for you for more than an hour, of course she’d get angry,” the man continued. (which man???)
Jing Yun Zhao was quite frustrated.
She herself believed she truly had the ability, and although the invitation was given to her by Old Man Xu, she was ready to put in all her effort to gain victory. She had never thought that there would be this kind of politics in play.
Suddenly, she became absent-minded, but she managed to steady herself in the next moment.
Old Man Xu was surely more clear on the situation than she was. Since he let her come, then he definitely had his own reasons.
“There are many ways you can give face to Elder Xu, you could just be more polite in your attitude and words. But for you to give gifts and throw the game, those are done by your own will! I have never asked for any of you to do such things. If you want to shamelessly send it over, that’s your own problem! What’s more, Cui Jun standing at the door of my room by his own choice is due to his own impure intentions, how is that my problem? For you to presume that Elder Xu is someone calculative and greedy was already your first mistake!” Jing Yun Zhao’s voice was equally as frigid as she yelled, suddenly feeling more anger than she thought she had.
Now that she put things like this, she suddenly understood why Old Man Xu didn’t want to come.
Old Elder Xu was infatuated with manufacturing medicine and treated medical herbs with sincerity and respect. Meanwhile, these people thought that since he was their elder, then they definitely had to fawn over him, and the best was definitely to get closer to him. However, in reality, all these were just a kind of humiliation and insult to Old Man Xu.
They were dishonouring his person and dishonoring his passion towards manufacturing medicine.
Old Man Xu may look expressionless on the outside, but his heart was warm. However, he was a little paranoid and wasn’t used to interacting with others. She had known him for so long and knew that deep down, he, more than anyone, hoped that his juniors would have even more achievements in manufacturing medicine than he did.
Just take her as an example. Once in a while, she would find some problems with Old Man Xu’s methods in manufacturing medicine. Whenever this happened, not only would the elderly not be angry, he would even praise her a little, something he rarely did.
To use such dishonest practices to fawn over someone like him, this flattering might get them into even more trouble than it was worth.
When Jing Yun Zhao finished her statement, the pair of siblings and Cui Jun opposite of her all had ugly expressions.
Aren’t we also scared of being blamed by the Old Senior? After being told off by this girl, it somehow turned into our fault?!
