Chapter 771 - Hidden Currents

Translator: Thyaeria

Within the room, Liu Jianwei laid down ten-odd people, like a starving wolf with his eyes covered in blood veins.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared before him.

Nodding her head, Yuan Lan said, “You’ve received my acknowledgement, and you’re now qualified to be my companion.”

As the blood veins slowly resceded in Liu Jianwei’s eyes, he sighed with a bitter smile, “Does the training have to be so realistic?”

“That’s for sure. When we’re in the battlefield, I hope that you can be someone of help to me so that I can hand my back to you. I do not wish to bring a burden to the battlefield with me.” Yuan Lan answered.

Laughing out, Liu Jianwei responded, “I was a little too harsh earlier, so please get medical help for them.”

Through his way out, Liu Jianwei did not go lenient and gave many lethal attacks.

“Don’t worry about that; they’ve undergone professional training. Everyone in Fire Beacon is an elite individual, and they have been tampered. Nothing will happen to them.”

Despite Yuan Lan’s words, she was inwardly shocked with Liu Jianwei’s lethality. If she hadn’t personally witnessed his superhuman strength, it’d be hard to imagine that someone could unleash such power.

If Liu Jianwei was living in a cold weapon era, he would definitely be a ferocious warrior who could fight against ten thousand enemies.

After Liu Jianwei sorted out his injuries, the two of them boarded a remodeled JEEP.

The two of them would be taking a hidden route to decrease the possibility of them being discovered.

It would be a long and tedious journey, and no one could guarantee that they could come back safely.

The world was differentiated between light and dark.

As a physician, Su Tao walked in the light and resolved the illnesses of others.

On the other hand, Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei were warriors, so they’re hidden in the dark, protecting the country from the background.

At around 10 a.m. the next day, China’s government agency dispatched a vehicle to pick Su Tao up from his hotel to a building located at the heart of the city. In the office, Su Tao met with an official from the Commerce Bureau, responsible for foreign trades, Wang Xuan. This man looked to be in his early thirties, and in the government sector, being young was an advantage. After an exchange of greetings, Su Tao got to know that the other party was a Deputy-Bureau Director, one with limitless potential in his career.

A Deputy-Bureau Director was equivalent to a Deputy-Mayor in Hanzhou City, but most importantly, he worked in the ministries. So it’s not impossible for him to become a governor in the future.

His surname is Wang?

Su Tao’s first reaction was to link him with one of the four prominent families in Beijing, the Wang Family.

He had already met with the Gu, Ni, and Ye Families, but he had never met with anyone from the Wang Family till today.

It’s also mainly because the Wang Family kept a low-profile, and most of them were in the government sector. Hence, they’re unlike other families.

After Wang Xuan sat down, someone served him with tea, so he took a sip and smiled. “I never expected that I could taste authentic Longjing Tea before Grain Day overseas.”

“Mr. Wang, you’re a fan of tea?” Su Tao asked with a smile.

“I’m just a casual drinker, and I can’t be considered a professional.” Wang Xuan placed the cup of tea down before going into the main topic, “I would like to hear your thoughts about Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate investing in Three Flavour Medicine!”

Before Wang Xuan came to Italy, he had investigated Su Tao. Although Su Tao had founded a medicine factory in a third-tiered city in the country, his name was famous. Not only was he famous in Beijing, but he’s also a National Healer.

Before Su Tao came to Italy, he even treated Sire Zhao with his magical medical skills, and it was known to everyone in Beijing.

But Wang Xuan was surprised since Su Tao was truly as young as stated in his information.

“It’s not impossible for me to work with Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate, but the prerequisite is that they have to agree to my terms.” Su Tao then went on explaining the terms he stated for Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate.

“I’m afraid that it’s impossible for the other party to accept your terms.” Wang Xuan was shocked while wearing a bitter smile.

“If Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate can’t agree to my terms, then I can only say that we’re not fated to cooperate.” Su Tao smiled.

Wang Xuan fell into a brief silence upon hearing that, since he never expected that Su Tao would be so stubborn.

“Take a step back and everyone can have peace. I’m here representing the State Council to communicate and express our attitude to you; we’re in support of your cooperation with Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate. As for Tony, he will be released the moment the two of you cooperate.”

So it turned out that Wang Xuan was worried that he might have concerns about cooperating with Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate. Wearing a smile, Su Tao replied, “I understand, Mr. Wang. As for my cooperation with Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate, I hope that it can be as pure and innocent as a cooperation between two enterprises.”

Wang Xuan knew that Su Tao was giving him a tactful reminder not to interfere in his management and helplessly smiled. “I understand. I have already expressed the State Council’s attitude, and I hope that you can grab a hold of this opportunity.”

At the same time, Wang Xuan was also inwardly feeling weird since it was his first time encountering someone like Su Tao.

Travelling all the way over from China, he’s here representing the government to push for the cooperation between Su Tao and Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate. Speaking from a certain angle, it could be considered a form of pressure for Su Tao. It’s not simply a suggestion, but there’s a hint of a threat in it.

However, Su Tao did not buy it and tactfully rejected it.

That meant that he had travelled all the way over for nothing.

He could be considered an influential figure in China, but he never expected that he would be rejected by Su Tao.

“I understand!” Su Tao smiled.

The two of them did not converse for long before Wang Xuan saw Su Tao out of the office.

After Su Tao left, Wang Xuan wore a bitter smile before he gave a call to a leader and reported, “I have already met with Su Tao, and he’s just as we had analysed, someone with his own thoughts. He wasn’t tempted despite the generous offer from Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate. On the contrary, he insisted on taking a big bite out of them.”

“I would also do the same if I was in his shoes.” A robust and magnetic voice resounded from the other side before continuing after a brief pause, “For this matter, we’ll go according to Su Tao’s intentions.”

“You’re not afraid that Joanna might look for other enterprises?” Wang Xuan was surprised.

“Joanna isn’t a fool. Her intention of investing in Three Flavour Medicine isn’t purely just investing in an enterprise, but in Su Tao.” The voice replied through the phone and continued, “Joanna can invest a few hundred million to get Tony back, but she will definitely not want the money to go down the drain. Joanna has a keen sense of smell, and Su Tao’s potential has caught her eyes. She knows that investing in Su Tao can bring stunning profits to Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate in the future.”

“But Su Tao is just a physician.” Wang Xuan sounded his doubt after a brief pondering.

“That’s where your words are wrong!” The voice over the phone analysed, “He’s not simply just a physician. Through the Seven Mountain Virus incident, Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate has been banned by the country. On the other hand, Su Tao is the person who resolved the epidemic, so if they cooperate with him, they will be able to remove all negative news. Furthermore, if Su Tao was just an ordinary physician, how could he possibly attract Sire Shui’s interest? Furthermore, I’ve received news that Su Tao might be the next Fire Deity.”

“Those are just rumors spread by Tong Zuoqing!” Wang Xuan replied with disdain on his face.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s true, but he has already become Qin Jingyu’s enemy. Since he’s Qin Jingyu’s enemy, why not help him?” The voice from the other side loosened up and continued, “You’re in the foreign trade department, so you should have a higher scope. If Three Flavour Medicine successfully blossoms in the international medicine industry under your help, it will leave a decent mark on your résumé.”

Hearing it, Wang Xuan’s eyes lit up as he smiled. “That hits my soft spot! But on the prerequisite that Su Tao cooperates with Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate.”

“He’s waiting for a good offer. If he’s not interested, why would he wait instead of rejecting it straight away? Give Joanna a call and tell her that you’ve done your best. It will depend on her sincerity if she can cooperate with Three Flavour Medicine!” The voice replied after a brief pondering.

Wang Xuan nodded his head. There’s nothing he could do to help since Three Flavour Medicine wasn’t lacking money right now, and giving them more money right now was practically the same as decorating something already perfect.

Through the leader’s reminder, Wang Xuan had also sorted it out. He now knew what to do right now. His current focus wasn’t to facilitate the cooperation, but to stand on Su Tao’s side to gain more profits from Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate.

When Joanna received the call and was informed of the result, her face was ugly.

She never expected that Su Tao would be so firm. She had practically used all her connections in China to try and convince Su Tao not to be so greedy, but it was a futile effort.

However, this had also confirmed her judgment that Su Tao was the right candidate to work with.

After all, who else in his shoes would refuse the government’s ‘suggestion’?

Letting out a sigh, Joanna could only host a conference in Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate to convince the board to satisfy Su Tao’s request since the latter wasn’t willing to budge.

At the same time, Monica was currently making a call in another room and she agitatedly said, “Mike, I have already waited for so long, so why is my request not completed yet? If this goes on, then I will have to reconsider this plan. At the same time, I will also have to reconsider taking back a part of your commission.”

“Ms. Monica, please be reassured. As you know, we’re already doing something about it, but we never expected that the other party would be so cunning. But please be reassured that we will come up with a more meticulous plan to satisfy your request.” Mike comforted with a bitter smile.

“What plan?!” Monica asked, impatiently.

“Su Tao will be having a launch event in two days, and we will send someone there to find a chance to complete the mission.” Mike immediately explained before he continued, “Please stay calm and wait for our good news.”

“This will be your last chance because he will be leaving Italy after that.” Monica coldly replied, then added, “My patience is limited.”

After hanging up his call with Monica, Mike turned to Caru beside him with a helpless smile. “Commander Caru, you heard that?”

“Don’t worry about it. I have already sent out my elites, and I will definitely not disappoint you this time!” Caru confidently smiled.
