Chapter 835: Chapter 835

In Su Licheng’s eyes, aside from Fang Bai’s exceptional medical skills, he had no other significant merits. If Fang Bai were to become the Su Family’s son-in-law in the future, the Su Family would not gain much benefit from him. On the other hand, if the Su Family formed an alliance through marriage with other prominent clans, it would be a win-win situation.

Because of this matter, Su Licheng had privately urged his daughter more than once to give up on Fang Bai. However, Su Linglong possessed a gentle exterior but a firm interior, and once she settled on Fang Bai, she showed an attitude that she would marry no one but him.

Additionally, what made Su Licheng feel helpless was that beside his wife Jiang Shan Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!

Old Master Su even criticized Su Licheng for this, saying he was short-sighted and failed to see that Fang Bai was a stock with potential. Although Su Licheng felt unconvinced in his heart, he didn’t dare to contradict his own father.

"Barely enough? It seems your salary really isn’t much!"

Su Licheng sighed, his expression one of deep sorrow, and said, "I don’t expect my daughter to be extremely wealthy in the future, but I also don’t want her to suffer hardships. I really worry that if Linglong ends up with you in the future, will you be able to provide her a carefree life and bring her happiness?"

Everyone present could tell that Su Licheng’s words ultimately came down to his disdain for Fang Bai and his belief that Fang Bai was unworthy of his daughter.

Jiang Shan couldn’t help but give her husband a disapproving look and chided, "Licheng, Fang Bai is still very young. Even if he doesn’t have money now, he can earn it in the future! Haven’t you heard Linglong say how famous Fang Bai is in the Yanjing medical community now? Once a doctor becomes famous, he gains both fame and wealth!"

Su Yifei glanced at Fang Bai and saw that he wasn’t the slightest bit angry, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bitter smile, "Dad, you really know too little about Fang Bai! Not only is Fang Bai a well-known ’Divine Doctor’ in the Yanjing medical community, but he’s also one of the major shareholders of ’Beauty Company,’ just like our Su Family! Now, do you think he lacks money?"

Su Licheng was taken aback, and then remembered that the Shen Family from Anxi and the Li Family from Donghai, represented respectively by Shen Huanian and Li Dongyang, had conspired to frame the Beauty Company, nearly causing a product quality crisis for the company. Fang Bai turned the tide by providing irrefutable evidence that the Shen and Li families had set up the trap, causing their public images to plummet and their industries to suffer massive losses while the Beauty Company rose in power, quickly becoming the leading corporation within the Huaxia business sector.

Fang Bai had live-streamed the entire process of providing evidence during that incident, which was broadcast nationwide. Although Su Licheng hadn’t watched the live stream, he later heard about the event and was surprised that Fang Bai was the Vice President of the Beauty Company.

If Su Yifei hadn’t suddenly mentioned it, Su Licheng would have genuinely forgotten the connection between Fang Bai and the Beauty Company.

"Yifei, are you saying that Fang Bai... is also a shareholder of ’Beauty Company’? And a major one? How many shares does he have?"

Upon hearing his son’s words, Su Licheng was greatly shocked.

Although Su Licheng had little ability and few real powers, as one of the direct members of the Su Family, he also participated in some of the family’s decisions. He knew that the Su Family, as one of the major shareholders of Beauty Company, received tens of billions in profits from the company’s sales each year.

If Fang Bai truly was a major shareholder of Beauty Company, just like the Su Family, didn’t that mean that the dividends he received from the company could match the entire Su Family’s dividends?

Staring at Fang Bai with wide eyes, Su Licheng wore a face of disbelief.

In Su Licheng’s view, the Su Family was a century-old prominent clan with massive wealth and resources. Investing in Beauty Company was supposed to be a win-win, but Fang Bai was just a minor doctor with a family background that paled in comparison to the Su Family. How could he possibly become a major shareholder of Beauty Company?

Su Licheng looked down on Fang Bai. Although Fang Bai himself did not mind, Xia Chenyu could not refrain herself anymore and said with a serious tone, "Mr. Su, let me tell you the truth. Fang Bai is the largest shareholder and the hidden major boss of our Beauty Company! My role as the president of Beauty Company is actually just working for Fang Bai!"

Xia Chenyu’s words dropped like a bombshell, leaving Su Licheng internally shaken and petrified on the spot.

It was not just Su Licheng who was stunned. Besides Su Yifei, everyone else present also looked at Fang Bai with a dazed stare.

Even Su Linglong had her beautiful eyes wide open, her mouth slightly agape, learning for the first time about this layer of Fang Bai’s identity.

"How... how is this possible... how possible..."

Su Licheng muttered to himself, unable to associate the young man of just over twenty, who he always thought was not good enough for his daughter, with the hidden major boss behind the Beauty Company, even as he watched Fang Bai with a faint smile on his lips.

Beauty Company had risen rapidly over the last year, with sales exploding. The Su Family had even profited several billion in dividends. If Fang Bai really was the major boss behind Beauty Company, wouldn’t his net worth now be over tens of billions?

However, looking at Fang Bai’s attire, nothing was a famous brand, even the car he drove was common among the salaried class, and he had no bodyguards following him. His image was far from what one would associate with the term "wealthy".

Xia Chenyu, seeing Su Licheng still not believing her, curled the corners of her lips and said, "Mr. Su, you might not believe me, but you can’t possibly doubt your own son, right?"

"Dad, President Xia is telling the truth! Fang Bai truly is the largest shareholder of Beauty Company! Moreover..."

Su Licheng glanced at Fang Bai and continued, "Moreover, the formulas for the most popular products sold by Beauty Company were provided by Fang Bai. It can be said that without Fang Bai, there would be no Beauty Company as we know it today!"

Su Licheng felt his brain was not quite up to speed. He opened his mouth to say something but then he heard Xia Chenyu add, "There’s something else you should know, Mr. Su. Fang Bai’s annual salary at Yanjing Hospital has long surpassed a million, and he is also a specially-appointed professor at Yanjing Medical University. When he says his salary isn’t high and barely enough, he’s just being modest!"

After pausing, Xia Chenyu continued with another startling revelation, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Su, if Fang Bai wished, he could immediately become the wealthiest man in the world!"

Fang Bai saw Xia Chenyu boasting on his behalf and touched his nose with a smile, but he didn’t speak up to stop her, thinking that letting her "intimidate" Su Licheng through his words might be a good thing, averting future troubles from his potential father-in-law looking down on him in his relationship with Su Linglong.

Although Su Licheng was unsure whether the rest of Xia Chenyu’s remarks were true or false, the matter of Fang Bai being a major shareholder of Beauty Company seemed to be true, as his own son would certainly not deceive him, would he?
