Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Lu Yingxue’s Renowned Fame!

Qiao Xi leaned in his arms and said, "The Lu Family won’t be able to contact other herbal farms and processing factories for a while. If they knew all major farms were under Xu Yunye’s control, I wonder what they’d do."

This is essentially controlling the Lu Family’s lifeline to wealth!

Their biggest business is the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.

Others build their family on business, while the Lu Family builds on reputation. The bigger the reputation, the better the business of their medicine halls.

Plus, with Lu Bannong’s manipulation in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, the Lu Family dared to ambitiously vie for a spot among the top four families.

But in reality, the finances of the Lu Family don’t even match up to second-tier clans. After all, the family selection process includes a public voting aspect. The father-daughter duo of the Lu Family had a perfect plan; they wanted to use public opinion to break through the ironclad shackles of the clans.

Public opinion accounts for ten percent!

Public sentiment can be exploited.

Besides having strong capabilities, a family also needs a good reputation.

Qiao Xi slowly said, "Ten tons of herbal medicine can resolve Lu Yingxue’s crisis tomorrow, but after tomorrow, the medicine hall won’t have any supply. How much they need and at what price, all are up to us."

Huo Xingzhou, leaning with her, said, "The Lu Family hasn’t realized it yet. When Lu Bannong contacts all the farms, he will discover the conspiracy behind our conspiracy. The Huo Family never wanted just that lucrative fifty million."

They would always maintain control.

The three-day free clinic at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall pushed the father-daughter’s reputation in the Lu Family to its peak.

From now on.

They will be on a downhill journey!

Qiao Xi shifted in his arms and changed her posture. Watching as Huo Xingzhou picked up his phone, he clicked into a notification message.

"Is it from Old Chen?"

"It’s from Sun Weimeng."

"What did he say?"

"Lu Yingxue has spoken out to clear things up."

"So quickly?" Qiao Xi straightened up to look at the phone screen, surprised to find Lu Yingxue in greater need of herbal medicine than they had imagined.

It also indicated that the Lu Family values reputation even more than they had thought!

So... if one day their reputation is entirely ruined, wouldn’t they wish for death over life?

The screen displayed Lu Yingxue’s responses and clarifications under the previously viral short video, and the comments were directly reposted to the top of hot search lists, known by more people.

Lu Yingxue said, "The madman in the square was arranged by my cousin Lu Yan because he held a personal grudge against Qiao Xi and had been targeting her for a long time. This time he disrupted order, committed crimes, and affected many people’s access to medical care. We’ve called the police to take Lu Yan in for investigation to clear Qiao Xi’s name."

"Additionally, regarding the widely circulated rumor about the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association’s Vice President Qiao Xi’s messy relationships, it’s false. My fiancé had a one-sided affection for Qiao Xi, who has always maintained a decent boundary, never crossed the line, and didn’t disrupt our relationship. This rumor damaged both the association’s and Qiao Xi’s reputation, and we reserve the right to sue and pursue responsibility."

"Qiao Xi and I are colleagues and members of the association. I did not intend to cause these misunderstandings; please stop spreading rumors!"

"A woman’s reputation is invaluable."

Lu Yingxue’s clarification was very thorough.

She was also afraid that Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi wouldn’t be satisfied, so she explained everything clearly.

Lu Yingxue’s explanation improved her reputation significantly.

Portraying herself as someone who condemns even relatives for justice and is impartial.

Meanwhile, the negative comments towards Qiao Xi decreased a lot, and some people voluntarily deleted their remarks.

Those chaotic things dispersed quickly.

What remained were a few extreme statements, and the people who smashed the Rolls-Royce and had to pay compensation regretted deeply.

If they later learn the true face of the Lu Family, they would feel even more painful, maybe even develop "hatred from love" towards Lu Yingxue. But that’s a story for another time.

Qiao Xi looked through the comments and indeed found the situation much improved.

At least she wouldn’t need to worry about being pelted with rotten eggs when stepping out.

...

On the other side.

Lu Yingxue used fifty million and a clarification, along with sending Lu Yan to jail, to exchange for ten tons of herbal medicine.

This was the worst business the Lu Family had ever done.

She spent a night organizing finances, transferring money to the Huo Family’s account, and then transported the ten tons of herbal medicine to the medicine hall, instructing the warehouse manager to begin organizing and distributing.

After finishing these, daylight had already broken.

Lu Yingxue freshened up briefly in the office at the medicine hall and then applied makeup. She used foundation to cover the dark circles under her eyes, concealing her exhaustion.

She changed clothes and exited the room, pulling aside an apprentice to ask, "How’s my father doing?"

"He woke up for a while but fell asleep again. Mr. Lu was too overly enraged and should rest some more."

"Understood, you can carry on."

Lu Yingxue took a deep breath and realized that Lu Bannong was nearing sixty years old, getting old.

She went down to the large lobby of the medicine hall, where the scent of herbs filled the air. Through the quaint lattice door, one could see the long line of people outside.

Before seven in the morning, the medicine hall already had a long queue.

She increasingly felt that the idea of holding a three-day clinic wasn’t the right decision initially.

Though they gained reputation, money was lost, fatigue set in, and her father fell ill from anger.

But now, there wasn’t any other option!

Hopefully, after weathering this, the Lu Family could emerge outstandingly during the year-end selection of the top four families and kick down the Xie Family or reshuffle the Guan Family!

Time gradually ticked by.

It was time for the clinic to open again.

The sun was bright, the wind was cold, but it couldn’t extinguish the people’s enthusiasm.

The outside of the medicine hall was bustling. Lu Yingxue sat in the lobby, watching the crowded people and various media outside, her lips stretching into a perfect smile.

"The time has come, open the doors for consultations!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The doors of the medicine hall opened, and the patients swarmed in.

Every senior Chinese medicine practitioner available for the clinics was arranged, plus some members from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, totaling over twenty people.

But still, they couldn’t handle the constant stream of patients. The apprentices preparing the herbs were almost going numb in their hands.

The staff maintaining order in the lobby grew hoarse from shouting.

Busy!

Busy!

Busy to madness!

But the busier it got, the higher the returns.

Near evening, Lu Yingxue received good news.

A foreign exchange delegation was about to visit for a Chinese and Western medical exchange. It was a very high-level exchange, and she was designated to attend as a representative.

This was an exceptionally high honor!

Moreover, next year there would be the once-in-five-years National Doctor selection, and she was highly likely to become the youngest National Doctor!

Because she was so popular!

And her character was noble!

Everyone believed she would have a bright future; no one thought Qiao Xi could surpass her!

People are very keen on creating idols!

Of course, they are also keen on tearing them down when the time comes.

Lu Yingxue gazed at the sunset outside, the sun dipping in the west.

This three-day free clinic had ended, and she was no longer the same person!

For a moment, her heart surged with pride!

"Congratulations, Miss Lu!"

"Congratulations, Miss!"

After the medicine hall closed, everyone knew that Lu Yingxue would represent Chinese medicine in internal and external exchanges, which was a significant honor!

And also become a candidate for National Doctor.

With a hint of a smile on her lips, Lu Yingxue said, "Thanks for your hard work, everyone, bonuses will double at the end of the month."

The medicine hall erupted in cheers.

From the corner of her eye, she saw a trembling figure coming down the stairs, Lu Bannong had woken up, though looking very unwell.

"Father..." Lu Yingxue opened her mouth to call, intending to tell him about the exchange group’s good news.

Lu Bannong walked up to her, raised his hand, and slapped her.

Smack!

A heavy slap.
