Chapter 244: Chapter 242 Paralyzed
Yang Genshuo sat there, watching President Sun struggle in vain to rise, and smiled without saying a word.
People like him act tougher than the high-ranking leaders when they’re in charge, but they go soft in front the real leaders, unable to even stand up.
At this moment, Zhao Zhenguo listened to Leader Cui mock President Sun using his own words, feeling extremely embarrassed, but he could only force a smile.
In his heart, he had already thought of how he would deal with old Sun when he got back.
Damn, what status do you think you have, eating at the same restaurant as me?
You also quietly stirred up such a big incident, bringing Leader Cui here!
...
Do you realize he has bodyguards every time he steps out?
If you’re tired of living, don’t drag me down with you!
What a terrible person!
Seeing President Sun so scared he nearly paralyzed, Yang Genshuo simply shrugged:
“President Sun’s legs seem to be in poor shape… He said he’s fine and often visits my lab; that doesn’t seem so feasible. It looks like we’ll have to leave these matters to Director Liu in the future.”
Little Liu’s face instantly fell.
He laughed awkwardly: “Little Liu… Just call me Little Liu, Boss Yang. I… I had a few drinks with President Sun at lunch today, and wasn’t thinking clearly. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me.”
“Drinking during working hours? Brother Cui, this… goes against discipline, doesn’t it?” Zhao Dalong teased.
“Old Zhao, what kind of troops are you leading? Didn’t they learn their spirit well enough?” Leader Cui glanced at Zhao Zhenguo.
Bang!
Zhao Zhenguo slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
“You two, drinking during working hours, have seriously breached discipline. Write a profound self-criticism when you get back and submit it, waiting for your punishment!”
“What are you dawdling for! Hungry!? I’ll treat you two to a meal!”
President Sun was so frightened that he fainted, his eyes rolling back.
“Drag him away! Don’t embarrass us!”
Watching Zhao Zhenguo roar, Little Liu immediately used all the strength he had to drag President Sun up and quickly ran off.
Manager Hu, waiting outside, looked at the ‘leader’ who was once high and mighty, now being dragged away like a dead pig, his eyes full of intense disdain.
“Disgusting old pervert…”
At that moment, the most shocked person in room 308 was one.
Cheng Bo.
He had been troubled for many days, feeling like the world was collapsing, unable to continue his research, anxious and sleepless at night.
Yet, the person who had troubled him was, in front of these people, as meek as a mad dog in the Pan Hong District, daring not to bare its teeth, as if a stick had been struck on its crown.
Sun, Liu: now obedient.
At this moment, watching Yang Genshuo chatting and enjoying drinks with Zhao Dalong and Leader Cui, Cheng Bo felt a surreal sensation.
‘Is this really the same Brother Genshuo I know?’
‘In the span of a few months… has Brother Genshuo really risen to this level?’
Previously, when Yang Genshuo gave him money to support his research, it didn’t really shock Cheng Bo because that money was all converted into equipment and space, and besides, money… didn’t mean much to him.
Cheng Bo was a person with low material needs; he had a single dormitory at the university, used a meal card for food, and besides occasionally getting a foot massage to relax, he didn’t find much use for money, so he sent some home and saved the rest.
He wasn’t sensitive about money, but this incident let him see just how terrifying power could be.
The total value of the equipment in his lab was far more than what Sun and Liu could cover by selling all their organs, so why did they dare trouble him?
Wasn’t it because he was just an ordinary private lab researcher?
When he was at Shimen Agricultural University, for many years no one dared to trouble him!
Right at this moment, Cheng Bo recalled what Yang Genshuo had said that afternoon.
“Do I care about eight cards? What I care about is my reputation!”
“Years from now, they will boast for a lifetime that they have heard good words from Yang Genshuo…”
“That’s the biggest price I’ve paid.”
Now, he truly understood…
These people are not fit to eat at the same table as Brother Genshuo.
As Yang Genshuo and his group chatted merrily, even Zhao Zhenguo could only continuously offer smiles and flatter the conversation, and Cheng Bo was praised by Zhao Zhenguo as the future seed science leader, casually discussing international awards, the pride of Shimen City…
‘This is too f*cking magical! More magical than hybrid seed genetics!’
Cheng Bo took a hearty sip of Star Drunk wine and decided that when he got back, he would stick to his own line of work; he really couldn’t handle this business.
By this time, Leader Cui was already tipsy.
“This wine from Little Yang… is truly excellent! Honestly, I’ve been drinking for so many years, and this is the first one that makes me feel better the more I drink. It feels like my body is… having a sauna, with little hands massaging in my veins. It’s indeed a remarkable wine!”
Zhao Dalong grinned: “Ha ha~ I told you I’ve got good wine here, didn’t I? Produced by Boss Yang, nothing but the finest. That medicine last time… was made from a family recipe by Boss Yang.”
“Oh!!! I see now, a hero at a young age! That medicine from Boss Yang really did me a big favor, added much harmony at home, ha ha ha~ Come on, let’s drink up!”
“Ha ha ha~ Just some small fry stuff. If you like it, I can ask our CEO to prepare a few more jars of wine for you to take away in your car. Let me tell you secretly… if you drink this wine slowly, it’s even better than that medicine.”
“Sss~”
Better than medicine, now that truly shocked Leader Cui; there weren’t many things in this world that could shock him.
Last time, he had gotten a Solid Essence Rejuvenation Pill from Zhao Dalong, and now he was introduced to an even stronger medicinal wine from the original creator!
At his age, he had enjoyed all that he should, and his power had reached its limit; at least in Jibei Province, his words still carried weight.
He just wanted a healthy body to enjoy the fruits of his years…
Others knew he liked fishing, but that was just an excuse for YW.
When he was in his twenties and robust, he never liked fishing.
“This alcohol isn’t cheap, right? I can’t accept such a valuable gift, it would affect discipline…”
Yang Genshuo waved his hand: “Ha! It’s just wine produced by my own factory, it doesn’t cost much. It’s just a local specialty passed down in my family. Drink with ease, and if it’s not enough, I’ve got more.”
“Hahaha~ then I must thank my younger brother Yang for his generosity.”
In the midst of laughter, the dinner came to an end, and Guo Xiaozhi sent over three jars of Starry Drunkenness with a look of deep chagrin, placing them into Director Cui’s car.
Watching Director Cui’s car drive away, Zhao Dalong looked startled.
“Younger brother Yang, what about mine? Where’s my wine?”
“You Xianqi Winery, you want to drink, you buy it yourself.”
Zhao Dalong, pointing at Yang Genshuo, couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “So, you won’t even gift a jar of wine to me, old Zhao, after I did you a favor?”
“Didn’t I just let you drink for free? It’s already causing me pain… hurry up and buy some to get my blood flowing back.”
“Alright, alright… I flew all this way to help you out, and now I have to make a forced purchase, huh? No one in the province dares to mess with me, a major taxpayer like this.”
Bang!
Guo Xiaozhi placed a different jar of wine next to Zhao Dalong’s car.
“Just kidding… all the winery has is Starry Drunkenness, this jar is for my personal drinking, a higher-grade wine that isn’t mass-produced yet, a special treat for the major taxpayer, boss Zhao, to taste.”
Zhao Dalong immediately beamed with happiness, with none of the dignity of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
“Brother Yang handles things generously! Next time you need anything, just call me.”
“Thanks for today.”
“Heh~ after this meal, there likely won’t be many in Shimen City who will trouble you again…”
“Yeah, I can’t be bothered to tangle with these little devils. It’s better to have you Great Demons suppress them, so they won’t give me a hard time.”
Hearing this, Zhao Dalong chuckled, draped an arm over Yang Genshuo’s shoulder, and said:
“Younger brother Yang, we are Great Demons now… but in the future, you will become an even greater demon, no, a monstrously talented one! This wine of yours has already started circulating among our boss circles… you’d better pay attention to the production numbers.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got my sources.”
Yang Genshuo looked towards his home in the southeast.
“Southeast Asia, right?”
Zhao Dalong understood instantly.
“…”
The group parted ways, and Zhao Dalong even had his driver purchase 20 more jars of Starry Drunkenness to take on his private plane.
10 million for the lot.
Guo Xiaozhi, who had been sulking about giving away four jars of wine, was instantly ecstatic.
“Ah~ that’s the stuff~”
He owned 30% of the shares, and after deducting taxes, costs, and the funds needed for the company’s development, 30% of the profits were his!
Those 20 jars of wine, roughly speaking, would net him just over a million in his pocket.
Yang Genshuo would receive even more.
After paying taxes and the employee wages, minus Guo Xiaozhi’s share, the rest was his.
After a round of operations, he could pocket 5 million.
Fair and square.
Even if he sold more, he could even become a major taxpayer in Shimen City.
After this incident, Yang Genshuo made a heavyweight leader friend, and he also came to realize the fact that his own strength was very poor in the modern world.
“The obstacles I encounter are just a phone call away for people like Director Cui and Zhao Dalong.”
“I have great strength, but it’s difficult to use in modern society… Even if I achieve the Innate Master realm, I’m not faster than a bullet, let alone lasers and drone artillery. I need to play by the rules of modern society.”
“Sigh… Forget Innate Master, even in the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment Stage, you can’t be invincible. Can you outrun Express Delivery? Still need to follow the rules of this world.”
“Unless I become someone even nuclear bombs can’t kill.”
At that moment, Yang Genshuo suddenly realized something he had been neglecting…
“The military force of the modern world isn’t just those ordinary guns, there are bigger toys, ones that even someone in the Golden Core Stage couldn’t withstand!”
…
After the incident with the little devils was resolved, Cheng Bo officially began the experiment on hybrid Spiritual Medicine.
It mainly involved seed genetic editing techniques, crossing the genes between different Spiritual Medicines to create a new species.
This was a technology that had never existed in the Immortal Cultivation World, and it was also the best path for Yang Genshuo to quickly gather the “Unknown Treasure” required to open the Dragon God Immortal Palace.
Because Yang Genshuo only cared about quantity, without any performance requirements, like high yield, pest resistance, freeze resistance… none of it mattered! As long as the plant could live and mature into a Spiritual Medicine, Cheng Bo’s experiment was reckless. After a series of manipulations and tossing the seeds into a petri dish to germinate, he didn’t even know what they would look like; he just handed them directly to Yang Genshuo.
Yang Genshuo could use the daily ancestral sacrifices to send the seeds in the petri dishes to Yang Shi, letting him place them in his Meteor Star Immortal Mansion for rapid growth, where one year equaled ten!
But the speed was still too slow…
“No good, mighty as I am, one person is still too slow. I need to recruit a few more people to research together.”
“But how do I keep it secret?”
