Chapter 285: Chapter 285

Each question was more vicious than the last.

Bai Fen grew increasingly disgusted with Bai Zhirui.

It was only after Bai Zhirui became disabled that he was able to firmly establish his footing in the Bai Family.

He had originally harbored the subtle idea of taking good care of her, thereby earning a virtuous reputation for the Bai Family.

She wanted to marry Shen Shichen, and he did everything he could to make it happen.

Her marriage into the Shen Family would also benefit the Bai Family.

He was happy to see it happen.

He had not anticipated that things would gradually evolve to this point.

He felt as if his kindness had been thrown to the dogs.

Hadn’t he done everything he could for her, showing the utmost consideration?

In the world of the wealthy, who gives a damn about sentiment!

If she had no value, she deserved to be discarded!

Wasn’t he already being kind enough by not directly throwing her into a nursing home?

That heartless wretch, still wants to drag him down with her?!

Bai Fen shot the bodyguard a look.

Understanding the cue, the bodyguard stepped forward, blocking Bai Zhirui’s escape.

Bai Zhirui’s expression remained unchanged, and she was powerless to resist.

She had already appeared before most people, having met Shen Xuechen and Fu Bing under everyone’s intense scrutiny.

If she disappeared now, Fu Bing would become suspicious.

A wave of sadness surged in Bai Zhirui’s heart.

The one she could trust and rely on was actually Fu Bing.

"Lock her in the room she attempted to jump from, and do not let her out until the symposium is over!"

Bai Zhirui’s heart trembled as she was forcibly locked in that room by the bodyguard.

Uncontrollably, she rolled her wheelchair to the edge of the balcony, looking down.

The view below was exactly the same as when she had attempted to jump.

Back then, she was very scared.

But the thought that her jump could ensure her family’s suppression of Fu Bing gave her boundless courage.

At that time, she valued her family and the company’s development more than herself.

She was willing to sacrifice everything for them.

Only after becoming disabled did she realize that she was just a tool in their hands.

When she was useful, she was the precious daughter of the Bai Family.

When she was useless, she was nothing but trash!

She was unwilling to admit it.

She strived to convince herself that they loved her.

In the end, she realized she had been expecting too much.

A year ago, they had sent her to the semi-finals, to be Fu Bing’s patient, all under the glare of high-definition cameras.

They truly did not care whether she lived or died.

She had seen enough in one year.

After Fu Bing had asked Zhang Jing to pay more attention to Bai Zhirui, she went with Yang Ningzheng to participate in the project symposium.

The scale of this symposium was significant. Get full chapters from n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

President Han intentionally created an opportunity for Fu Bing’s R&D team to interact with professional pharmaceutical labs.

President Han had his considerations.

Without Bai Zhirui, the Bai Family was becoming increasingly disgraceful.

Currently, the Bai Family’s R&D team’s ethos was to please superiors. They were nowhere near focused on dedicated research and development.

This was such a waste for an otherwise mature R&D team.

He had assessed Yang Ningzheng and knew he was a reliable person with principles and ideals.

Appointing him as the head of Fu Bing’s medical platform was a decision that would yield results.

Therefore, President Han had them sit beside him.

The pharmaceutical research and development conference was attended by big shots from major pharmaceutical teams.

All of these were big shots in terms of both ability and net worth.

Pharmaceutical research and development is undoubtedly a money-burning venture.

With unrestricted research, hundreds of billions, or even trillions, could be spent in a year.

And it might not yield any results.

For this reason, they were very cautious with newcomers.

This time, Fu Bing came to make an appearance.

She wanted people in this field to know she intended to venture into it, making her presence known under their watchful eyes.

Qin Jinhai and Elder Jiang’s eldest son, Jian Huang, were sitting together.

Jian Huang, 69 years old this year, was a heavyweight in the medical field.

Having him mentor Qin Jinhai meant Qin Jinhai would face much less resistance in entering the pharmaceutical field.

Gazing at Fu Bing, who was still easily recognizable in the crowd, Jian Huang whispered, "If you have feelings for the young lady, then apologize to her properly. She’s a reasonable person; don’t be so stubborn."

"If you hand over the project to her laboratory, I’ll immediately buy a durian and kneel before her," Qin Jinhai retorted.

Jian Huang gave him a glare and remained silent.

He disliked mixing personal and professional matters more than anything.

"Don’t joke about pharmaceutical research and development," Jian Huang said sternly. "If you’re capable, do it; if you’re not, better not to get involved. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died."

"Her team is already working on research and development and will only get better and better," Qin Jinhai argued. "It’s time for you to introduce fresh blood to this field. Look how lofty President Han’s vision is."

Jian Huang glanced at President Han but didn’t deny it.

President Han was not someone who acted rashly. If he wasn’t confident about it, he wouldn’t have brought Fu Bing and another young person to his side.

"What do you think?" Jian Huang asked Qin Jinhai. "After you take over Liu Xinping’s side, what’s the plan for the follow-up?"

"What follow-up can I have? Whatever Xiaobing wants, I’ll get it for her."

Jian Huang didn’t want to deal with him anymore.

The three-day pharmaceutical seminar concluded, transitioning into the free discussion session.

Jian Huang and President Han finally had time to sit down and have tea together.

Without beating around the bush, Jian Huang asked, "Do you have a lot of confidence in Fu Bing?"

"Yes," President Han replied. "I know you would prefer to promote Qin Jinhai, and I don’t object to that. The medical and pharmaceutical fields need more people whose hearts care for patients. I think both of them are fine."

"How do you know they’re not just in it for the money?"

"I don’t think loving money is an issue," President Han said calmly.

In life, besides lofty ideals, one should also have solid material possessions.

Without proper material incentives and rewards, how can research personnel be expected to focus on scientific research?

Jian Huang saw that President Han was not joking.

"She’s someone both you and Jinhai have endorsed, so I naturally trust your judgment," Jian Huang conceded. "Currently, I can’t provide her with specialized research and development projects or teams." Before President Han’s expression could turn cold, Jian Huang quickly added, "I’ve done an assessment. I believe the Bai Family’s team and laboratory are the most suitable for Fu Bing’s current stage. The Bai Family’s collusion with Country A last year has not been cleared up, and their subsequent performances have been unsatisfactory."

"Bai Fen is a competent businessman, not someone truly dedicated to pharmaceuticals," Jian Huang continued. "He cannot bring anything new to the Bai Family; he’ll only end up ruining a group of excellent pharmaceutical professionals."

President Han said, "We’ve gone over this several times in the meetings. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to handle it directly. Now that Bai Fen and Bai Zhirui have fallen out, we can use this as an opportunity. Having Fu Bing cure Bai Zhirui’s leg and prompting Bai Zhirui to willingly align with Fu Bing would be a more natural progression. This way, the matter won’t backfire on Fu Bing later."

Jian Huang remarked, "You’ve learned quite a bit from that fox, Ren Ye, huh?"

"Some matters require a roundabout approach," President Han responded. "Force won’t work."

The waiter at the doorway overheard the entire conversation and left without making a sound.

Bai Fen smashed the teacup in his hand upon hearing the news.

"A bunch of blind old fools! In their eyes, that useless Bai Zhirui is more valuable than me!"

"Young Master, if the young lady’s leg is healed, with her vindictive nature, she definitely won’t let us off!" an aide exclaimed.

They had previously added drugs to Bai Zhirui’s food that caused excitement and irritability.

Each time, they used minimal amounts to progressively exacerbate her mental breakdown, causing her to self-harm or harm others.

This way, no one would hold expectations for her.

Yet, in the eyes of those old fools, their Young Master was still inferior to the young lady.

Grinding his teeth, Bai Fen ordered, "Get rid of Bai Zhirui—make it clean!"
