Chapter 267

"Master, I can't stand by your side this time. I think what Master's wife said is right. Your personal safety is the most important thing. You should stop interfering."

Yang Jie's words made the little girl who had just been rescued feel embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, uncle, I've caused you trouble."

Li Jiandong felt uncomfortable when he saw the little girl's apologetic look.

"Girl, what's your name? Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm very skilled and can more than save you."

Li Jiandong's gentle look made the little girl relax her guard.

"Uncle, my name is Lian Qiao. I didn't come from the mountains. My family actually lives in the city.

My family makes Chinese herbal medicines, and because all the Chinese herbal medicines in my family are collected in the mountains, my grandparents and I have always lived in the mountains. "

The little girl introduced herself.

A gleam of light flashed in Li Jiandong's eyes. He didn't expect that he could get something without any effort. Just when he wanted to open a raw material factory, he met the inheritor of a family of traditional Chinese medicine.

"So Miss Lian Qiao comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners?"

Li Jiandong asked back.

“It’s not a family of traditional Chinese medicine, it’s just been passed down from generation to generation.

My ancestors were Chinese medicine practitioners, so I brought some plasters that can cure diseases.

I hope to bring benefits to more people, but I didn’t expect to run into those people.”

The girl explained exactly what happened today.

Li Jiandong nodded and thought that the girl was very nice.

"Where is your factory? Can you take me to see it?" Li Jiandong asked indifferently.

"Are you also interested in Chinese medicine? If so, I can ask my grandfather to meet you and have a good talk."

Lian Qiao felt that since he was her savior after all, there was nothing wrong in bringing him to her grandfather to meet him.

"That would be great." Li Jiandong was interested in discussing cooperation with his family.

Lian Qiao nodded and prepared to take him to see his grandfather.

"You two can go back first, or go shopping first. I'll take Miss Lianqiao back and meet the heir of the Zhongyi family." Li Jiandong told Qin Huairu and Yang Jie to go back.
"But where is their home? If you can't come back, where can I find you?"

Qin Huairu is called the prisoner bird. Although she looks innocent and pure, who knows if she is a bad person?
"You don't need to look for me. I'll be back as soon as I finish talking about things."

Li Jiandong had no doubt at all that there was something wrong with this girl.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm safe. I'm not a bad person." Lian Qiao said with a playful blink of her eyes.

Qin Huairu shook her head helplessly.

After all, she had never succeeded in stopping her husband's decision from beginning to end.

Li Jiandong followed Lian Qiao to his home
Lian Qiao's grandparents live in the mountains, and the mountain roads are not easy to walk on, but Li Jiandong did not complain.

When Li Huaiming arrived at Lian Qiao's house, he happened to see Grandpa Lian Qiao treating people in the mountains.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I'm back, and I brought someone for you to meet." Little Lianqiao said coquettishly.

Grandpa Lianqiao frowned tightly.

After all, his granddaughter is young and inexperienced, so he dares not bring anyone home.

"Didn't Grandpa tell you a long time ago? If you go down the mountain to sell medicine, just sell medicine. Don't bring anyone home casually."

It was obvious that grandpa was a little angry.

"Grandpa, please don't be angry. This happened suddenly, so I brought uncle back. It was uncle who saved me. If it weren't for him, I would be in danger today."

Lian Qiao told her grandfather what happened today.

Only then did Lian Qiao's grandfather smile and said, "Sir, thank you for saving my granddaughter. I wonder why you want to see me."

Grandpa Lianqiao knew that if there was nothing to do, no one would be willing to come to the mountain.

"I run a cosmetics factory, and I need to extract a lot of Chinese herbal medicines, so I want to talk to you about cooperation."

Li Jiandong knew that these old men didn't like to beat around the bush.

I just raised the question directly.

"Then you may have found the wrong person. After all, I am only the descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. I am here just to treat more people. The Chinese medicine I collect is all natural. I only treat people, not make cosmetics for them."

It was obvious that the old man was a little angry. It was not easy to collect these herbs in the mountains. They were all used to treat diseases. It would be a waste to make them into cosmetics.

"Old man, I think you have misunderstood. I will not use the original ecological medicines you collected to make cosmetics. I can even help you open a Chinese medicine factory."

Li Jiandong has long had the idea of ​​opening a pharmaceutical factory, and perhaps it can be put on the agenda now.

The old man was a little surprised, "You also want to help me open a Chinese medicine factory and strengthen Chinese medicine."

"I have always felt that Chinese medicine is profound, so it is very important to open a Chinese medicine clinic."

"I also hope that Chinese medicine can be passed down, so if you have any ideas, I can help you open a Chinese medicine factory."

Li Jiandong expressed his thoughts.

"What about your cosmetics factory? Is it closed?"

Obviously, the old man was still somewhat skeptical.

"Of course I will continue to run the cosmetics factory, but I will not delay the pharmaceutical factory because I hope Lianqiao can manage the Chinese medicine factory."

Li Jiandong put forward his own ideas.

Lian Qiao is an excellent medical practitioner, as he has been learning medicine from his grandfather since he was a child. In fact, he is the next generation inheritor of traditional Chinese medicine.

"She is too young to have this ability yet."

Grandpa never thought that his granddaughter had such great ability

"I know he only knows Chinese medicine theory and medicinal materials, and has no idea about business management, but I know that if the old gentleman doesn't mind, I can take him in as my apprentice."

In fact, this is Li Jiandong’s main purpose of coming here this time.

"Uncle, I have been learning Chinese medicine theory from my grandfather for many years."

Lian Qiao still likes Chinese medicine and doesn't like doing business at all.

Li Jiandong smiled and looked at the little girl. "What are you talking about? Learning Chinese medicine and learning to do business are two completely different things. There is no conflict between the two. You can have two masters."

Obviously, the little girl didn't quite understand and her eyes were full of questions, but the old man understood.

"I will consider what you said. After all, if we want to pass on traditional Chinese medicine, a Chinese medicine factory is very important."

The grandfather thought this was a good idea, but he didn't think it was reliable to let his granddaughter manage it.

"Actually, I have another idea. After all, my granddaughter is a girl. It's not good for her to be in the spotlight."

Of course, the old Chinese doctor has traditional ideas and he doesn't want girls to show their faces in public.

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "You are wrong, old man. This is not ancient times anymore. Women and men are equal, and girls should have their own careers."

"Don't you hope that Lian Qiao can develop your Chinese medicine business even bigger and bigger?"

Everything Li Jiandong said moved the old man.

But he was really afraid that his granddaughter would become cunning and forget her original intentions once she experienced the intrigues in the business world.

So he didn't say anything, but lowered his head in thought.

Li Jiandong seemed to have guessed what the old man was thinking.

"I know the old man is still worried that if he does business, he will forget his original intention. Don't worry, my apprentice will not forget his original intention."

Li Jiandong said with a faint smile, and then began to introduce himself.

"Old man, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Jiandong. I used to work in a steel mill. I have many apprentices. They are all doing well and serving the country."

Li Jiandong talked eloquently just to make the old man believe.

Being his apprentice does not mean being commercialized, but always keeping your original aspiration in mind.

"So you are the famous Chief Engineer Li. If that's the case, I can rest assured in handing my granddaughter over to you."

It is obvious that the old man has heard of Li Jiandong's title, after all, he has solved so many problems for the motherland.

"Lianqiao, come and bring a cup of tea to greet the master."

The old man is also a man of action. Now that he has made the decision, he lets his granddaughter become his disciple as soon as possible.

Li Jiandong shook his head helplessly, "In fact, there is no need to do it so quickly, and there is no need to be so grand."

Li Jiandong doesn't care about those formalities at all. As long as he has an apprentice, the form of apprenticeship is not important at all.

"He has decided to let my granddaughter take you as her teacher. The ceremony of taking you as her teacher still needs to be held." The old man said with a smile.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting." He knocked repeatedly, then knelt on the ground holding a cup of tea to do his work.

"Get up, get up. I accept you as my disciple. I will drink this cup of tea."

Li Jiandong helped the little girl up from the ground, then picked up the tea bowl and drank it. The apprenticeship ceremony was completed.

"The apprentice system has been activated. You have received a descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine family as your apprentice. Your traditional Chinese medicine skills will be upgraded by one level."

The system has been activated. It won’t be long before Li Jiandong’s level of traditional Chinese medicine will reach perfection.

Li Jiandong was so happy in his heart. After all, this thing was successful, and it was only good for him, not bad.

"In this case, we are friends, Mr. Li, please stay and have a drink." My husband was still very enthusiastic.

"Of course, I must have a drink with the old man, but I have one more thing to ask. I heard that your son and daughter-in-law, Lian Qiao's parents, have a raw material pharmaceutical factory in the city?"

Of course, there was another important issue that Li Jiandong had to deal with when he came this time, which was to find raw materials for his cosmetics factory.

The old man nodded and said that he was actually very dissatisfied with his son because he should have learned Chinese medicine from him, but he learned how to do business instead.

This is also the reason why he was reluctant to let Lian Qiao start his business at the beginning.

"Indeed, he owns a raw material factory, but it is a business and has nothing to do with me and Lian Qiao."

It was obvious that the old man was very dissatisfied with his son.

Li Jiandong knew in his heart that his son must be unwilling to inherit his father's mantle, so his father was very dissatisfied and unwilling to interact with his son and daughter-in-law.

"It seems that the old man is prejudiced against his son and daughter-in-law. In fact, doing business is not in conflict with passing on some traditional knowledge of the motherland."

Although Li Jiandong has accepted Lian Qiao as his apprentice, he should do something for him at home.

The old man smiled and shook his head. After all these years, he had actually forgiven his son. After all, his son left him such a talented granddaughter.

"I really don't like his parents who only know how to cheat each other all day and have completely forgotten their original intention of practicing Chinese medicine, but I have forgiven them over the years. Because of Lian Qiao, they gave me a good granddaughter. I have passed on all my life's learning to my granddaughter."

The old man still looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction.

Li Jiandong knew that Lian Qiao was his grandfather's pride, and accepting Lian Qiao as his apprentice meant that no matter what he did, he must not forget his original intention of practicing Chinese medicine.

"Don't worry, I won't destroy your most satisfying masterpiece. I will only make it better and better."

Li Jiandong promised and the old man nodded.

"Mr. Li, I know you very well. Your disciples have not forgotten their original intentions, so I am willing to hand my granddaughter over to you."

Old man, you also understand that you are old and there is no way you can let your granddaughter follow you anymore.

Who knows, one day when I’m gone, my son and daughter-in-law might lead my granddaughter astray.

Li Jiandong is just right. He can continue to help take care of his granddaughter, which is something the old man couldn't ask for more.

Lian Qiao didn't want to disturb his grandfather and master's conversation, so he read the Chinese medicine biographies by himself. Li Jiandong's system kept reminding him to improve his Chinese medicine skills.

Li Jiandong was extremely happy. Now the level of traditional Chinese medicine in his head had reached the level where he could treat patients.

After a few more days, when I have reached a breakthrough level, I can really open a clinic.

Of course, he had no intention of opening a clinic at this moment. The most important thing for him was to meet Lian Qiao's parents.

Let's talk about the cooperation with cosmetics factories. After all, it is a win-win situation and is beneficial to everyone.
Besides, Li Jiandong’s level of expertise in traditional Chinese medicine is very high. He cured Xu Damao’s infertility, but his treatment was just a little worse than that of the old man.

"Lianqiao, ask your dad to come back."

Li Jiandong found the old man's reluctance funny.

"Okay, Grandpa."

Lian Qiao was very happy. Since she was a child, she had actually hoped that her parents and grandfather could live with her.

This way I would be the happiest. For so many years, my grandfather was very angry because my father was unwilling to learn Chinese medicine.

For all these years, I have been contacting my parents secretly.

For my parents, my existence doesn't matter because my younger brother can just follow them in doing business.

It was obvious that Lian Zhong was shocked by his father's call, and he rushed back with his son Lian Feng.

"Dad, Lianqiao said you had something to talk to us about, so I brought Xiaofeng back with me. Xiaofeng, come and call me grandpa."

Lian Zhong pulled his son along as if he were presenting a treasure.

"grandfather."

Lian Feng called out obediently.

Even the old man finally smiled a little.

"Xiaofeng, you are going to take the college entrance exam too. Where do you want to go?"

The old man's words made the atmosphere awkward, because Lian Zhong would not let his son study Chinese medicine.

He must be studying management, so the father and son didn't dare to speak.

"Hey, just tell me what you want to test. Why are you hesitating?"

The old man was a little angry, and Li Jiandong looked at him and smiled.

"Okay, why are you two so nervous? The old man just wants to chat with you. He won't force you to learn Chinese medicine."

Li Jiandong played a role in easing the atmosphere.

Lian Zhong then realized that there was an outsider, "Who are you?"

"My name is Li Jiandong, and I want to discuss cooperation with you."

Li Jiandong stood up and extended his right hand politely.

Lian Zhong also shook hands with Li Jiandong, because he couldn't afford to offend someone who was recognized by his father.

"Business talk?"

Lian Zhong was very surprised. Didn't his father hate his business? Why did he suddenly ask him to come back?

"Yes, I heard from Lian Qiao that you are in the raw materials business, all of which are Chinese medicinal herbs, so I want to cooperate with you. My factory is a cosmetics factory, and I need you to provide some Chinese medicinal herbs."

Li Jiandong tells the truth.

Lian Zhong understood that they wanted to be their own supplier, which was a good thing.

But why would my father be willing to help me?
it's wired.

"Give him a bit more discount on the price. He's Lian Qiao's master."

Old Man Lian has spoken. Since his father has spoken, Lian Zhong will not ignore him.

But hasn’t Lian Qiao always been learning Chinese medicine from her grandfather? How come she has a new master?

"Don't worry, I won't cheat your friend."

Lian Zhong said with a smile.

The old man snorted coldly, "You don't dare?"

After this sentence was uttered, Lian Zhong no longer dared to say anything more.

Li Jiandong is not a person who takes advantage of others.

"It doesn't matter. It's whatever it is. No need to offer a discount. Just follow the market price."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

Lian Zhong also smiled, "Since you are our own family, we will give you the cost."

Lian Zhong decided to do a favor so that his father would be nicer to him.

"Dad, we can't disclose the cost price when doing business." Lian Feng suddenly said.

Although he is young, he knows a lot about business. Li Jiandong smiled. This kid is a promising talent. But is he the successor?

"What do you know, little brat? Go play with your sister."

Lian Zhong was afraid that his son's words would make his father uncomfortable, so he quickly sent his son away.

Mr. Lian frowned, "Sure enough, he is just like you, all he cares about is money."

It is obvious that he is not satisfied with this grandson, and his granddaughter is better.

And my daughter-in-law didn't even come, which is a disrespect to myself.

"Dad, you misunderstood. This child doesn't understand." Lian Zhong quickly explained.

"I don't understand? Lian Qiao misses her mother, why doesn't your wife come? Now that you have a son, your daughter won't be close to you?"

The old man was very angry. Although he was pleased that his granddaughter was learning Chinese medicine from him, he believed that his granddaughter also needed the love of her mother and father.

The couple only cared about their son and ignored their daughter, so Lian Qiao didn't even have the chance to go to college.

I can't even see my mother when I miss her. At most I can call her.

"Dad, this company can't be without people, right?"

Lian Zhong explained, but the old man didn't buy it.

"You are more important to the business than your father or your daughter. Without money, how can you send your son abroad? How can you give your son an inheritance?"

The old man was very angry. Li Jiandong could see that the old man was angry not only because his son did not study Chinese medicine, but also because they did not care about their granddaughter.

I feel that all the property will belong to my sons in the future, and my daughters will get married.

Qin Huairu is worried every day because she can't see her daughter. Isn't this couple worried?
This is impossible. She must have sacrificed her daughter just to make the old man happy.

Li Jiandong would not make a mistake in choosing a person. Lian Zhong was not an unfilial person. He just wanted to change the status quo and make more money.

"Hey, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't be so distant. Have a meal together, and call your wife to have a meal together."

Li Jiandong hopes to help their family.
