I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 336 - 335: Buying In

"The medicinal cuisine made by my sister-in-law is truly excellent!" Luo Xuhua genuinely praised.Shao Simin wholeheartedly agreed, having witnessed Beisitian’s cooking process. Beisitian patiently explained some knowledge about medicinal cuisine, revealing it was not just about adding herbs to food.

Many ingredients in everyday life can be turned into medicinal cuisine through special processing methods.

For instance, yam, commonly consumed, is also a good remedy for kidney and spleen support. Fritillaria and bitter apricot kernels can be prepared to relieve phlegm and cough.

When paired correctly, they make a great medicinal dish.

Using medicinal cuisine as a segue, Luo Xuhua started discussing business matters, enlightening Luo Anguo and his wife about the extent of his business success!

Shao Simin smiled slightly, a hint of pride in her eyes. Whether it’s regarding Luo Xuhua’s side or her own family, she and her husband were both highly capable. Guangzhou was already stable, with annual income in the tens of thousands, often exceeding a hundred thousand. If Beijing stabilized, sales would soar even higher!

"If Sitiang wants to do it, I can let you invest," Luo Xuhua said with a smile, almost causing Shao Simin to fall off her chair.

"Xuhua!" Shao Simin couldn’t help but call out.

Although the medicinal cuisine and medicinal cosmetics segment was a small part of the overall business, once established, it could be highly profitable. Shao Simin never doubted its success since it was Luo Xuhua’s aspiration, and she trusted her husband’s vision and intellect.

She had considered letting Beisitian contribute her efforts and skills, intending to discuss it later, as a means to help support Beisitian’s family’s development. Unexpectedly, Luo Xuhua offered Beisitian a share!

This investment opportunity was entirely different from simply providing funds or expertise. If Beisitian invested, she would become one of Huasheng Group’s shareholders!

Luo Xuhua looked at Shao Simin, knowing that Simin was not only his life partner but also his work assistant, having significantly supported him during the mid-stage of his career. He valued her highly, yet he wouldn’t completely adhere to her opinions, recognizing her limitations in certain matters, despite her being a college graduate.

"Minmin, I have considered this matter carefully," Luo Xuhua said seriously.

Shao Simin pressed her lips together. Although she could offer meaningful suggestions, ultimately, the decision-making rested with Luo Xuhua. Since he stated it this way, it meant he wasn’t making an impulsive decision.

But was this brief consideration truly reliable?

Shao Simin felt that his primary aim might be to support Luo Er’s family, rather than purely for Huasheng Group’s benefit, unlike before!

Despite her silence, Shao Simin noticeably spoke less, and her smile became fixed. Many topics were only touched upon superficially.

Beisitian did not immediately agree, which made Shao Simin glance at her twice. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—could this rural girl truly not know its significance? If that were the case, Shao Simin would prefer not to have this shareholder.

Luo Xuhua had his considerations, deciding to have a proper discussion with Luo Xudong and his wife about the matter. Allowing Beisitian to invest was in part due to recognizing Luo Xudong’s influence in the military. Not that he needed to do much, but leveraging this influence could eliminate many potential troubles.

However, he did not plan to keep Luo Xudong in the dark about these issues, choosing to notify him beforehand to avoid misunderstandings.

As for supporting Luo Er’s family, he indeed had this thought. His second uncle and aunt had helped him a lot during his childhood, and now that he was successful, he felt it was necessary to repay the kindness he received.

The atmosphere during the meal turned a bit awkward due to Luo Xuhua’s words. After the meal, Mrs. Qin cleared the dishes and urged Beisitian to rest for a while.

Beisitian nodded and went back to the eastern side room.

Luo Xuhua’s family stayed in the western room. The western side room was cluttered with many odds and ends, making it difficult to clear out quickly. Therefore, Luo Xuping went to the eastern room to sleep with Luo Anguo and his wife, giving the western room to them.

Returning to their room, Shao Simin looked displeased, although she tried not to show it too plainly. After all, it was reasonable and understandable for her husband to help his grateful second uncle and aunt.

"Xuhua, should we reconsider this matter?" Shao Simin suggested.

Luo Xuhua took off his coat and hung it on the rack, saying, "No, there’s no need."

Shao Simin bit her lower lip, feeling vaguely uneasy but unable to articulate why.

"Don’t you think it’s a bit hasty? Beisitian might know a bit about medicine, but she’s still from the countryside. I mean no offense to rural people, but she has never received systematic medical training. Do you think, if she invests, it will be truly beneficial?" Shao Simin tried to reason.

"I think it might be better to hire her, to use her skills and give her a high remuneration. That way, we can also repay your second uncle and aunt’s kindness towards you," Shao Simin articulated carefully.

Luo Xuhua looked at her silently, causing a bit of trepidation in Shao Simin. After a while, he said, "How I choose to repay my second uncle and aunt is not something you need to worry about. I am the largest shareholder. It’s hardly appropriate for me to choose a partner only with others’ agreement."

Shao Simin pressed her lips together, holding back a breath. Although she was displeased, seeing that Luo Xuhua seemed angry, she dared not speak further.

Huasheng Group’s success had not come easily. She also held shares, but just about one-twentieth of the remaining twenty percent, as Luo Xuhua owned over eighty percent, essentially making him the real boss. She really had no room to question Luo Xuhua’s decisions.

However, considering Huasheng Group was his creation, it seemed somewhat unfortunate to serve as a refuge for poor relatives. Also, she had pleaded with Luo Xuhua for a long time to let her cousin invest, but he never agreed—now he was letting a woman invest!

Shao Simin stopped speaking, busying herself with undressing the child and washing up. She then lay down with her back to Luo Xuhua, closing her eyes, feeling a bit aggrieved inside.

Unlike before, Luo Xuhua didn’t embrace her from behind, instead lying on his back, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly.

In the eastern side room, Beisitian was discussing with Luo Xudong.

"Do you think I should invest?" Beisitian asked.

It wasn’t about self-doubt; one concern was insufficient funds, another was the potential impact on Luo Xudong, especially since she was both a military spouse and a military doctor.

"Elder brother probably just wants to help us," Luo Xudong said.

Despite saying this, Luo Xudong’s demeanor was rather indifferent. Evidently, for such help, he preferred to inwardly acknowledge it.

Beisitian smiled slightly, "I appreciate elder brother’s intention, but if I indeed invest, he’ll be thanking heaven."

Luo Xudong was amused, gently touching her head with a smile as she exuded confidence. "It’s up to you to decide," he said.
