Chapter 861 The Encounter Outside The School Gates

"Of course it was a waste!" said Kang Zhaoming. He waved his hands, slightly annoyed. "It's already bad enough like this, but what's worse is I can't get the prescription if I can't get Guan Xin. My family's already pestering me about this and now my plan has failed too…"

Kang Zhaoming was very worried about losing his position within the Kang family. Would his family blame him for the outcome if he told them? It wasn't as though he didn't try, but the situation was out of his control. Guan Xin already has a fiance. Even if Kang Zhaoming was a god reborn to earth, she couldn't possibly cancel the arrangement just to date him right?  Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Yet what Kang Zhaoming was afraid of was the fact that even though he wasn't the main person to be blamed for this outcome, he did, fail to investigate thoroughly in this matter. Had he found out about Guan Xin's arranged marriage earlier, he wouldn't have to waste so much effort in pursuing her. The whole thing was just a waste of time.

As someone working under Kang Zhaoming, Wang Shubin was naturally worried about this as well. It was just like the saying "sticking together through thick and thin''. He knew this well, how could something exist without its basis? If Kang Zhaoming lost his position within the family and lost power, the two of them, working under him, wouldn't be any better off.

That was why helping Kang Zhaoming with his problems had become part of Wang Shubin's duties. After hearing Guan Xiaoxiang reject Kang Zhaoming, he had already begun to plan the ways forward: "Young Master Ming, since this method wouldn't work, then let's stop here."

"Stop here? Then how will I face my family? I was fully confident that I would get Guan Xin!" Kang Zhaoming grumbled. "But who knew she already had a fiance? I can't even face my family anymore, they're gonna think I'm useless."

"That's not it," said Wang Shubin waving his hand, "Young Master Ming, you need to consider this from another perspective, it would be so much simpler. The thing is, you pursuing Guan Xin wasn't even your main objective. Your main objective was to obtain the prescription. Even if you don't get Guan Xin, but manage to get hold of the prescription, that counts as completing the mission too doesn't it? It seems what Doctor Kang cares about is the prescription and not Guan Xin."

"Mm, you're right. But if I don't get my hands on Guan Xin, where do I get the prescription?" Kang Zhaoming can see where Wang Shubin was coming from but still felt quite confused.

"There are many ways to obtain that prescription; stealing, threatening and so on. You don't need to start with Guan Xin, we can also go from other people from Doctor Guan's medical center," explained Wang Shubin, "from what I heard, your younger brother Guan Xiaobo, isn't he some sort of a vice president in the medical center?"

"Yeah, he is! Every time someone mentions him, I get angry. Kang Xiaobo managed to become a vice president, he's even better than me. It pisses me off so much. He's just a relative and he's better off than me!" grumbled Kang Zhaoming indignantly when he remembered Kang Xiaobo.

The fact that Kang Xiaobo became a vice president in Doctor Kang's medical center wasn't a secret as the center had already announced it to the media.

"Young Master Ming, you know the saying '—————'," said Wang Shubin, "think about it. You and Kang Xiaobin are cousins. Even though he's the vice president, he hasn't had any income so far right? I think you can go to Kang Xiaobo because, ultimately, he's still part of the Kang family. Reason with him and work him emotionally to get the prescription out of him. That shouldn't be too hard."

"He knows the prescription to the medicine for prolonging life? Nah that's impossible. Even though he's the vice president, I'm pretty sure only Guan Xuemin and those executive board members like Fatso Lai know," said Kang Zhaoming shaking his head. At least he wasn't that stupid.

"Young Master Ming, what you need to do now isn't trying to find that prescription, that thing can wait. Did you forget about that new task given to you by Master Kang Zhaolong? He told you to get Doctor Guan's medicine formula and the route he uses to ship the materials," reminded Wang Shubin, "If you can get a hold of the information for that, it's still an achievement! As for the prescription, we can think of other ideas for that in the meantime."

"Ah… you're right. The ointment isn't that important, Kang Xiaobo should also know the formula and the shipping route," said Kang Zhaoming nodding his head, "sounds like an idea if you put it this way. I'll find him tomorrow and have a nice chat with him. Hopefully, I can get something out of him."

"Young Master Ming, you'll need to remember two things, playing the family card—you must make him know that the rise and fall of the Kang family is the duty of every family member. You can give him some benefits, such as giving him some shares of the medical center after you take over the Kang family. All this is just idle talk anyway. We don't even know when you'll take over the family," reminded Wang Shubin, "the other thing is, you need to give him some benefits for the time being. Didn't you already give Xiaofen a small sum of money? You can just say you gave her on the behalf of Kang Zhaoming. This time, give Kang Zhaoming some more money or else I'm afraid he won't cooperate if he doesn't see the existing benefits."

"Mm, that makes sense," said Kang Zhaoming nodding his head, "I understand now. Shubin, it's no doubt you're the brainpower. I thought there was no other way and was getting ready to slink home and get scolded. I never knew you still had this many ideas!"

"Haha, it's my duty to give you advice," Wang Shubin smirked, feeling slightly proud.

The next day at noon, Kang Zhaoming went to see Kang Xiaobo, carrying a black leather case containing three hundred thousand dollars.

Every afternoon, Kang Xiaobo would go to Doctor Kang's Medical Centre to do practical work. He already notified the headteacher, Mr. Liu, who saw he had the potential and didn't stop him.

What was the point of going to university? Wasn't it just to learn some skills to find a good job? Now Kang Xiaobo had already passed this step and found a stable job right away, of course, Mr. Liu wouldn't say anything.

Kang Zhaoming had already figured out Kang Xiaobo's daily routine. The moment Kang Xiaobo left the school at noon, Kang Zhaoming popped his head from the rear window of the cayenne Porsche cayenne, "Hey bro! Over here!"

At first, Kang Xiaobo didn't think the voice was calling for him. Although it sounded familiar, who would come to the front of his school and call him "bro"? Therefore he took no notice.

However, the voice called out again, "Xiaobo! Over here!"

That was when Kang Xiaobo took notice and looked up. When he saw that it was Kang Zhaoming. He paused abruptly and his expression immediately became uneasy. Last time at Xiaofen's place, he had scammed Kang Zhaoming along with Lin Yi but was unsure if Kang Zhaoming had picked up anything. Since it was him and Lin Yi, Kang Xiaobo subconsciously assumed that Kang Zhaoming came to question him about it.
