Romantic Medical Immortal

"Who said my granddaughter is not ambitious?"

Elder Kong shouted angrily, emanating a fierce aura.

"Lingwen has been working hard outside for years, managing Yan’s Hall with great success. She has already proven her capability, so why can’t she assume the position of Family Head?"

"It’s not the same. Yan’s Hall was founded by her and has nothing to do with the Kong Family. If she were a man, we wouldn’t object to her becoming Family Head, but she’s a woman."

"As the saying goes, ’A married daughter is like water spilled out,’ she’s not really considered part of the Kong Family. Although Lingjiang is not Jingshan’s biological son, he can be adopted by him, and that would be perfectly legitimate."

After Kong Demao’s words, the crowd at the scene expressed their agreement.

"Elder Kong is right. Choosing a Family Head can’t just be limited to Jingshan’s children, as it’s a matter concerning the prosperity of the entire Kong Family. We must consider everyone’s opinions."

"We agree with Lingjiang being adopted as the next Family Head!"

"Elder Kong, you can’t act on your own. If you insist on placing a woman in charge, we would rather leave the Kong Family."

Looking at the aggressive manner of the crowd, Elder Kong was so angry his face turned green.

At this moment, Yang Cheng stepped forward and spoke loudly, "Everyone, may I be allowed to say a word?"

The crowd looked at him with a bit of disdain in their eyes.

"As an outsider, what right do you have to speak?"

Kong Lingjiang sneered, entirely dismissing Yang Cheng as nothing more than a pretty face.

Since Kong Jingshan’s death, his father had been paving the way for him, urging everyone in the Kong Family to elect him as the next Family Head. Despite Elder Kong’s authority, he wouldn’t defy the entire Kong Family, especially with many rivals around, Elder Kong could only compromise for the sake of the greater good.

Facing the mocking gazes of the crowd, Yang Cheng replied with dignity, "Yes, I am an outsider, but I am Lingwen’s husband, which makes me half a member of the Kong Family. Moreover, Lingwen as Family Head would only benefit the Kong Family, not harm it."

"What’s the benefit? You’re not about to say it’s you, are you?"

Kong Lingjiang sneered.

"Chenling Pharmaceutical is a venture founded by Lingwen and me. If Lingwen becomes Family Head, then Chenling Pharmaceutical would become a Kong Family business."

"Everyone must have heard that recently, Chenling Pharmaceuticals is in high demand, and I’m about to launch a new medicine. In the future, Chenling Pharmaceutical will undoubtedly become the leading industry in Zhonghai, and you all know how much money it can bring, I don’t believe anyone would dislike money."

After saying this, the crowd’s expressions changed slightly.

Chenling Pharmaceutical has been quite notable lately, with Fulan Blood Replenishing Medicine selling like hotcakes. If it could really be incorporated into the family, it would be a real financial boon.

"Hmph, easy for you to say. Chenling Pharmaceutical has just started, and it might just be a short-lived success. You think you can rely only on these two medicines to become a leading enterprise, that’s nothing but wishful thinking!"

Kong Lingjiang immediately retorted, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.

His words had just fallen when Yang Cheng coldly snorted and said, "Our company has just started and has already attracted the attention of all of Zhonghai. On the other hand, you, I heard that several companies you manage are barely sustaining themselves. Are you sure you have the ability to lead the Kong Family in making money?"

"You!"

Kong Lingjiang’s face darkened as he was about to refute, but suddenly there was a commotion outside.

"Patriarch Gong is here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone turned to look, seeing Gong Jian walk out in a dark gray suit, smiling in the midst of his entourage.

Yang Cheng looked at him, slightly surprised in his heart. After just two days, Gong Jian seemed to have become ten years younger, with a rosy complexion, full of energy, and exuding an aura of pride.

It seems the aphrodisiac pill works even better than he had anticipated.

"Patriarch Gong has indeed arrived!"

"Strange, normally the Gong Family has little to do with the Kong Family, why would he attend Kong Lingwen’s wedding?"

The crowd discussed, eyes full of surprise and puzzlement.

Gong Jian is a major figure in the Zhonghai business world, his appearance undoubtedly gave weight to this wedding, and everyone speculated why he would come.

Along the way, everyone greeted him, hoping to make an impression in front of Gong Jian. Gong Jian smiled and nodded in response, maintaining a polite but distant demeanor.

He walked straight to the front, slightly nodding to Elder Kong, and said with a smile, "Elder, congratulations, your granddaughter has found a good husband!"

"Patriarch Gong is too kind. It’s our honor for you to attend Lingwen’s wedding, please take a seat."

Elder Kong was full of warmth, although puzzled by Gong Jian’s arrival, he didn’t show it.

Gong Jian did not respond further, his gaze falling on Yang Cheng, his smile becoming more sincere, "Mr. Yang, congratulations on your wedding, I brought you a gift."

With a slight gesture, Gong Jian’s assistant handed over a red box gift.

"Thank you, Chairman Gong."

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, signaling the butler beside him to receive the gift.

He also hadn’t expected Gong Jian to suddenly attend the wedding, this person is deeply scheming, always feeling he’s here for more than just congratulations.

However, Gong Jian didn’t say more, his gaze sweeping around before landing on Kong Lingjiang.

"Who is this?"

"Patriarch Gong, I am Kong Lingjiang, my father is Kong Demao."

Kong Lingjiang hurriedly introduced himself, a flash of flattery in his eyes. If he could gain Patriarch Gong’s favor, he would definitely secure the position of Family Head, even Elder Kong couldn’t stop it.

Gong Jian gave a slight nod, a hint of a smile at his mouth but didn’t say a word, clearly not intending to engage him further.

"Mr. Yang, the pill you gave me truly worked wonders, my insomnia problem has been resolved."

Gong Jian’s voice wasn’t loud but was clear enough for everyone present to hear.

"I used to have trouble sleeping at night, lacking energy during the day, and feeling exhausted overall. Since taking your medicine, my sleep quality has significantly improved, and my mindset even feels younger."

He said cheerfully, his tone sincere, looking at Yang Cheng with eyes full of appreciation.

"Chairman Gong is too generous, your body’s constitution is good, a little adjustment shows quick results."

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, continuing the conversation smoothly.

He wouldn’t be foolish enough to state publicly that it was an aphrodisiac pill, since Gong Jian claimed it’s for insomnia, then that’s what it is.

"Haha, Xiao Yang, you are too modest."

Gong Jian patted Yang Cheng’s shoulder, couldn’t deny that this young man is indeed clever, knowing what to do and say.

"Chenling Pharmaceutical’s recent release of the Cooling Scar Cream and Fulan Blood Replenishing Medicine, I’ve had people try them, their effects are impressive, and they have a great reputation."

"With this development trend, Chenling Pharmaceutical being the industry leader is just around the corner."

He paused, raising his voice slightly, "So today, besides congratulating Xiao Yang and Ms. Kong on their marriage, there’s another matter—I want to invest in Chenling Pharmaceutical."
