Medical and Martial God

Chapter 283 Divine Doctor Ye, Please Blow Gently

"This..."

Everyone in the coffee shop was dumbfounded!

Zhang Lulu’s smug smile froze on her face.

No one had expected the pretty-boy, Ye Xiu, to be so incredible. He struck later but landed his blow first, felling Wu Junzhuo with a single slap.

What a master!

"What are you all standing there stunned for? Applaud!" Ye Xiu said with a grin, seeing the coffee shop suddenly go quiet.

The room erupted in thunderous applause!

"Well done, handsome!"

"Nice one, buddy."

"Pfft, so much for the university Sanda club."

"A sycophant like that who can’t tell right from wrong deserved to get hit."

The coffee shop erupted with noise as people clapped and jeered.

For a moment, Zhang Lulu felt utterly cornered and humiliated, at a complete loss for what to do.

Meanwhile, the slap from Ye Xiu had given Wu Junzhuo temporary tinnitus. He sat on the ground, his head still buzzing, completely oblivious to the applause and jeers.

"You... You just wait! You dared to embarrass me like this? I won’t let you get away with it!" Zhang Lulu threatened, pointing a finger at Ye Xiu before turning to leave.

Just then, the buzzing in Wu Junzhuo’s head finally stopped. He scrambled to his feet and said, "Lulu, I was just careless. Watch me take care of him."

SLAP!

Zhang Lulu slapped Wu Junzhuo across the face.

"You useless piece of trash! All you do is embarrass me! Stay away from me from now on. The sight of you makes me sick."

After saying her piece, she stormed off.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu imperceptibly flicked a finger.

Then, as Zhang Lulu was angrily storming toward the door—THUMP! She took a nasty spill, landing flat on her face. She cried out in pain, and hearing the roar of laughter from inside the coffee shop, she hastily scrambled up and fled.

"Kid, do you have any idea what a huge deal you just ruined for me?" Wu Junzhuo asked, glaring at Ye Xiu.

"I was helping you," Ye Xiu said, his expression completely serious.

Wu Junzhuo was stunned. "Helping me?"

"Of course. Let me break it down for you."

Ye Xiu began counting on his fingers as he explained, "First, Zhang Lulu has that terrible temper, always acting like the world owes her money. Are you sure you can handle her? Even if you managed to get together, she’d probably beat you three times a day, and that’s on a good day.

"Second, she stirs up trouble everywhere she goes, and you’d have to follow her around, cleaning up her messes and taking the beatings for her. What if one day she provokes someone she shouldn’t have? You’d go down with her."

With that, he picked up the Dragon Sparrow Sword propped against the table and left the coffee shop.

Wu Junzhuo lowered his head, mulling over Ye Xiu’s words. After a long moment, he said, "Damn, you make a lot of sense... Hey, where’d he go?"

PFFT!

The sound of stifled laughter once again filled the coffee shop.

Only then did Wu Junzhuo realize he’d been played by Ye Xiu. He hurried out to chase after Zhang Lulu.

Even though Ye Xiu’s analysis was reasonable, was it Zhang Lulu he really wanted? No. What he wanted was her family’s money, connections, and resources. Marrying her might mean a lifetime of humiliation, but the benefits were obvious. It would save him at least thirty years of struggle.

The minor incident with Wu Junzhuo and Zhang Lulu didn’t affect Ye Xiu’s mood in the slightest.

After leaving the coffee shop, a spark of inspiration suddenly flashed through Ye Xiu’s mind.

He called Gong Jin. "Gong Jin, Qingfeng Road and the entire Qi Yun Dao are about to be reshuffled. What exactly is being reshuffled?"

Gong Jin explained, "This so-called reshuffle is simply a struggle for resources. Most Ancient Martial Families, sects, and Loose Cultivators are quite poor. The Warriors themselves tend to have simple minds and don’t know how to generate wealth. They need money to live, support their descendants, and purchase items like weapons, secret manuals, healing medicine, elixirs, and other cultivation resources. All of this requires a great deal of cash, so they have no choice but to depend on the wealthy.

"With the battle between the Shen Family and the Lian Family resulting in the Lian Family’s annihilation, the families, sects, and Loose Cultivators who once depended on them now desperately need to find a new patron. This will inevitably lead to conflict as they compete with other groups.

"Without the Lian Family as a formidable rival, the Shen Family wants to dominate Qingfeng Road and even the entire Qi Yun Dao. This will inevitably bring up new problems of resource allocation. However, the Shen Family’s current strength is far weaker than it used to be. Many of the families and sects that depend on them will likely betray them to find new financial backers.

"Furthermore, the Ancient Martial Circle in Qingfeng Road and the wider Qi Yun Dao is not lacking in ambitious tyrants. Seeing the Shen Family in a weakened state, they will surely try to take their place. A reshuffling in such a chaotic situation is bound to cause widespread panic in the business world of Qingfeng Road and all of Qi Yun Dao."

In today’s society with its well-established legal system, business competition rarely involves the use of force for malicious ends. Therefore, most wealthy individuals don’t want to spend money needlessly supporting Ancient Martial Families, sects, or Loose Cultivators, as they are rarely needed.

But if their competitors support them and they don’t, what would they do? What if another party used Martial Artists for malicious competition? This concern is what led to the current integration of the business world and the Ancient Martial Circle.

"I want to completely cut off all of the Shen Family’s wings. Do you think this method is feasible?" asked Ye Xiu.

Gong Jin replied, "That’s very difficult. The Shen Corporation has given shares to all the Ancient Martial Families, sects, and Loose Cultivators who depend on them. These are special shares that cannot be sold, only provide dividends, and are automatically reclaimed if they sever ties with the Shen Family. So, making all of them abandon the Shen Family will be extremely hard, unless you use martial power to force them."

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Release the news that the Shen Family was one of the culprits behind the plot against me ten years ago. Hmph, when the Shen Corporation’s stock price plummets to nothing, let’s see if those Ancient Martial Families, sects, and Loose Cultivators will continue to cling to the Shen Family’s banner."

"Young Master, you are wise," Gong Jin said in admiration.

This tactic, cutting off their support at the source, was truly brilliant!

Ye Xiu continued, "Also, inform You Ming to transfer all the money that the Shen Family looted from the Tiansha Association and the Rongfu Consortium into my account."

"Understood!" Gong Jin confirmed.

"Drain all the cash from the accounts of Shen Songshan, Shen Qilin, and Shen Shihao. Force the Shen Family to sell their fixed assets."

"Yes, sir!" Gong Jin responded.

Hanging up the phone, Ye Xiu’s lips curled into a cold smile. He wanted to see what the Shen Family would use to support their wings once they were broke.

However, the Shen Family had many allies in the business world through strategic marriages, and this posed a problem.

After some thought, Ye Xiu called Bao Longtu.

"Elder Bao, I need you to do me a favor. Please spread the word that the Bao Family and I are partnering to enter the medical sector. We plan to develop the global medical market, covering every aspect of healthcare, and we are now seeking partners."

"With your reputation as Divine Doctor Ye, entering the medical field would be a surefire moneymaker," Bao Longtu responded. "However, tackling every aspect of it is a massive undertaking with huge risks. Venturing into the global market is even riskier, especially since your influence is currently limited to this country."

"Haimer Family, Moye Family, Feibu Family..."

Ye Xiu rattled off the names of more than twenty global mega-consortiums, adding, "They have all agreed to invest and will help us break into international markets."

In reality, none of these families had agreed, nor did they even know about this. But when Huang Quan gave the order, who would dare to refuse?

Bao Longtu replied, "Divine Doctor Ye, that’s quite a tall tale. If you go around saying that, nobody will believe it!"
