Luo Xuhua always felt that he was standing before a massive, unbelievable truth. Regarding this truth, so people knew it very clearly, so had suspicions but couldn’t decide, so had a vague understanding having heard so rumors, and so knew nothing at all, foolishly following the tide.
Shao Simin belonged to the last group, knowing nothing, never observing, nor using his brain to think. He belonged to the third group, discovering clues by observing the hints around him, yet he could not find the path to deeply understand.
Speaking of paths, actually, he had a path.
Luo Xuhua looked towards Beisitian; this banquet was initiated by Ma Tianlai, but Ma Tianlai was now one of Beisitian’s people, so the source of everything, the entire truth, Beisitian must know very clearly!
Luo Xuhua didn’t know if the secret was too huge, or because he hadn’t gained Beisitian’s trust, she hadn’t revealed anything to him, making him feel sowhat frustrated.
He always felt that when Luo Xudong and Beisitian ca to Beijing to make their way, as newcors, he was the only trustworthy person.
But looking at the present banquet hall, it made him feel extrely unfamiliar with Beisitian. Could this really be achieved by a woman who ca from the countryside?
Even he didn’t have that kind of ability... Wait.
Speaking of ability, he suddenly recalled what Beisitian had just said, she originally was a doctor... Doctor!
Luo Xuhua felt that he probably grasped sothing very important, his eyes flashed sharply, looking towards Wei Zhongyuan; now that Wei Zhongyuan, the mysterious figure in the mouths of various bosses, the Wei Family genius who could bring back the dead, now seed to follow Beisitian like an attendant.
He had seen Wei Zhongyuan’s figure in the small courtyard more than once, and he seed quite willing to guard the house for Beisitian, doing trivial tasks.
Why?
Both are doctors, there must be a correlation. Luo Xuhua roughly guessed why, but still felt incredible in his heart.
Wei Family’s Wei Zhongyuan had always been shrouded in genius brilliance, with family guidance and systematic learning; how could he not compare to a woman from the countryside?
The more Luo Xuhua thought about it, the more alard he beca, seeing those big shots at the first table, his gaze quickly caught Cheng ZhenGuo, the provincial party secretary.
He vaguely recalled hearing a rumor a few days ago that Cheng ZhenGuo’s son wasn’t doing well, but now he ca to attend a promotional event for a new company, with no trace of grief over his son’s demise on his face.
Was this rumor false, or had his son been cured?
Luo Xuhua had an idea, his gaze started wandering among those at the sa table who knew the pricing, as well as those at the front tables.
A few people resembled Shao Simin, holding a small bowl with dissatisfied and disdainful expressions, while another portion wore inquisitive faces, observing the small bowl before them, occasionally tasting.
So others held the small bowl as if it were a treasure, savoring it as if they hadn’t eaten anything before, showing none of the worldly big bosses’ experience in eating fine foods.
Luo Xuhua locked his gaze on a few individuals.
Liu Fugui, he was sipping the soup in small gulps as if drinking too quickly would deplete it. Though Luo Xuhua hadn’t interacted with Liu Fugui, he heard Liu Fugui bragged about having invited Wei Zhongyuan, and his deanor evidently revealed he knew sothing.
That Tai-nad person, Tai Jinglin, with military-political background, showed nothing on his face, but due to keen observation, one could see he, like himself, was filled with confusion, his gaze wandering among attendees and so herbal cuisines, trying to figure sothing out.
Luo Xuhua’s table was too far from the first table, seeing nothing clearly, so he stood thinking, heading towards the side door about five tables away, leading to a restroom.
This side door was sowhat far from him, there was a closer one behind, but he chose the distant one because it was closer to the first table.
Greeting so acquaintances en route, he pretended indifference while walking toward that side door.
He intentionally slowed his pace, his ear now catching snippets of conversation.
"The Interdiate dicine Cuisine is very effective."
"No need for you to say, the main dicine here is provided by Mr. Wei."
"What about the main dicine for the Advanced Herbal Cuisine?"
"Heard it’s provided by the major shareholder..."
Luo Xuhua walked past this table, hearing nothing more, puzzled, questioning what exactly was the main dicine.
"This tiny bowl is precisely that rare..."
Luo Xuhua’s step slightly retreated, glimpsing a lady asking her husband.
The man, a state-owned enterprise boss, nodded gently at his wife’s question, quietly saying, "That’s right, this banquet seems unremarkable, but the real essence is right on this big table."
"I didn’t expect what you said to be true, but isn’t that priceless, wanted by so many with no access, now publicly sold, I truly can’t believe it." The lady said.
The couple facing away from Luo Xuhua hadn’t noticed soone eavesdropping behind them.
People at surrounding tables chatted their own conversations.
"You never listen when I speak..."
Luo Xuhua couldn’t linger, he moved away from this table, turning around to morize the state-owned enterprise boss’s appearance, clearly noting that he knew the inside story.
Considering the seating, Luo Xuhua actually knew Beisitian still cared for him, allowing him to be seated in such a position given his status, rely two tables away from Tai Jinglin, truly not bad.
The next few tables silently ate their food, occasional conversations were sparse with nothing of reference value.
Luo Xuhua felt sowhat disappointed, exiting through the side door, pausing outside for a while but hearing no words from the first table.
Seeing a waiter erge from inside, he had to head towards the restroom to avoid suspicion.
Having sat for over an hour without drinking anything, Luo Xuhua attended to his needs nonetheless.
As he wanted to smoke and contemplate these matters, he entered a stall, just as he was about to exit, voices ca from outside.
"My Mr. Tai, what’s your situation, inducing Doctor Bei in front of so many people, you don’t know how it made sweat!"
"Doctor Bei?"
This was Tai Jinglin’s voice.
"Yes, that pregnant woman, the major shareholder of Heavenly Blessing, everyone in that circle calls her Doctor Bei, it’s a mark of respect; all the principal dicines for those Advanced Herbal Cuisines are provided by her."
Tai Jinglin chuckled lightly, "What exactly are the principal dicines?"
Inside, Luo Xuhua’s breath halted, he quieted his breathing.
