Just as he thought, doing charity is really not that simple. Not everyone will be grateful, and there will always be some inexplicable people who come out to make trouble.
"Nothing can be accomplished overnight. Just stick to your original intention. Your talent and ability are better than your father's. I believe you can handle it."
Old Master Zhou was quite satisfied with his only grandson. Although he had been in charge of the Zhou family for several years and did not make the family more prosperous, he managed to keep the family going.
As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to keep it, so he is still very optimistic about his grandson.
"Mr. Zhou."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Old Wang walked over and called out respectfully.
"Shujian, you came here with Xiaochen, right? We haven't seen each other for half a year. You look pretty good."
"Old man, you look really good. The last time I saw you was half a year ago."
"Yes, the thing you sent over half a year ago is very good. The old man likes it very much. You put a lot of effort into it."
Old Wang said quickly, "You are too polite, old man. As long as you are happy, it's fine. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today. This time I brought you a set of tables and chairs from the Ming Dynasty. Although they are a little damaged, they are a complete set."
"You, you've wasted money again, haven't you?" Old Master Zhou pointed at Old Master Wang and sighed.
Old Wang smiled and said, "Old man, you don't know that I have learned a little from you. I bought this set of tables and chairs myself. I also want you to take a look at it and see if my eyesight has improved recently."
"Okay, we are all family, so I won't be polite to you. I'll take a closer look after this is over."
Mr. Zhou loves old things, so many people will cater to his tastes, but there are only a few people who can really get the old man to accept them, and Mr. Wang is one of them.
"By the way, Shujian, I have a prescription for you before you leave. You must take it on time. It will be good for your body."
"Master, isn't this too precious?"
Old Wang was flattered. Although Old Man Zhou only lived in the countryside, in fact, the ancestors of the Zhou family were imperial doctors, and Old Man Zhou inherited the medical skills of the Zhou family. Maybe his treatment of diseases and illnesses was not as fast as modern medicine, but his ancient recipes for maintaining the body were absolutely precious.
The fact that the old man can take out the ancient recipe shows that he really treats Mr. Wang as his own.
"It doesn't matter whether it's precious or not. We are all family. Don't be polite."
"Then I'll take it. Thank you."
Seeing Mr. Wang's cheerful look, Zhou Chen smiled slightly, and then said to Mr. Zhou: "Grandpa, I also prepared a gift for you. Do you want to read it now or wait until the evening?"
Mr. Zhou immediately looked at him suspiciously: "Are you going to do something messy again?"
"Grandpa, I'm not as unreliable as you say. You will definitely like this gift."
"Then bring it over now and have a look."
After getting permission, Zhou Chen took out a piece of paper from his arms.
Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wang looked at Zhou Chen in surprise. The gift was just a piece of paper?
"Grandpa, look, this is the gift I gave you."
When Mr. Zhou saw that it was a piece of paper, he immediately became interested and took it. His eyesight was very good and he had no difficulty reading the words written on the paper.
After more than ten seconds, Mr. Zhou, who had been smiling, suddenly became serious, and even his hands were shaking a little.
"Xiaochen, is everything written here true?"
Old Wang was very surprised. He wondered what Old Zhou had seen that made him so excited.
Zhou Chen nodded very seriously and said, "Really? This is something I researched personally. It has already been produced, but it has not yet been put on the market. If you want to see it, you can come with me to the Magic City to have a look."
Mr. Zhou answered without hesitation: "Okay, after the birthday banquet, I will go to the Magic City with you. If it is all true, then God really bless my Zhou family."
After expressing his feelings, he suddenly looked puzzled.
"That's not right. Don't you dislike studying medicine? You said you didn't come up with this prescription, right? Did you buy it?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, you also see the value of this prescription. Who do you think will sell it to me?"
"I really compiled this. I didn't like studying medicine before, but people change. I have been studying pediatrics over the years, but I didn't dare to tell you before I achieved success. If you don't believe me, you can test me now."
"You seem quite confident. Well, since there is still a long time before the banquet starts, I will test you to see if you are bragging or not."
The Zhou family's ancestor was originally an imperial physician, but after changes in the imperial court, he started the medicine business. However, the Zhou family's medical skills have never been interrupted.
But when it came to Zhou Chen's father's generation, his father was not willing to study medicine at all and devoted himself to business. Later, Zhou Chen was also unwilling to study medicine, which made Mr. Zhou very disappointed.
He wanted to pass on the Zhou family's medical skills, but it was impossible to pass them on to other branches, so he wrote a medical book himself and prepared to leave it to future generations.
So when he heard that Zhou Chen was actually willing to study medicine, the old man was surprised and happy.
"Shujian, please wait outside."
The old man didn't want to be listened in by outsiders, so he asked Mr. Wang to leave temporarily. Naturally, Mr. Wang had no objection and walked out.
Suddenly, Zhou Chen and Old Man Zhou were the only ones left in the room.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 365: Zhou Family Heritage, Shameless People
After Zhou Chen was the only one left in the room, Old Man Zhou began to test Zhou Chen.
For Mr. Zhou, the family business is very important, but the traditional Chinese medicine handed down from ancestors is the foundation and the most fundamental reason why the Zhou family has been able to survive to this day.
Old Man Zhou asked Zhou Chen several medical questions, and Zhou Chen answered them all fluently, which surprised him very much. So the questions he asked became more and more tricky, and the direction was always in line with what Zhou Chen said, and all the questions were about pediatrics.
Zhou Chen's answers were very smooth, and many of the answers were even unknown to Mr. Zhou, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that Zhou Chen's answers were more detailed and incisive than what he knew.
"Xiaochen, have you finally figured it out?"
After discovering that Zhou Chen is now completely different from before, Old Man Zhou feels relieved. Since Zhou Chen has become knowledgeable about medicine, the family's medical skills can finally be passed on.
"Since you want to study medicine, the inheritance of our Zhou family will fall on you. After the banquet, come to my room and I will tell you something."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Zhou Chen nodded and replied.
Old Master Zhou added, "There is one more thing. You are thirty years old now. There are not many thirtys in life. In your generation, you are the only one in the Zhou family. Therefore, the task of continuing the Zhou family can only be entrusted to you. I want to see you get married and have children before I leave, so as to expand the family tree of our Zhou family."
"Although a single-line inheritance reduces many dirty things, it also carries the risk of breaking the inheritance, so I hope you can have more children in the future."
"Uh."
Zhou Chen was caught off guard when he heard the topic of getting married and having children. He thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
"Grandpa, there is actually something I just found out. The Zhou family is going to have descendants soon."
"what?"
Mr. Zhou, who was sitting, suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and asked anxiously: "You have a child? What's going on? Tell me quickly."
It is said that grandparents are closer to their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, not to mention a large family like the Zhou family with a long heritage and a single-line inheritance.
"I have a girlfriend who found out she was pregnant a few days ago."
"Not planning to get married?"
"Well, she's not my marriage partner, but now she's with me, and I'll let her give birth to the baby."
Mr. Zhou glared at Zhou Chen and said, "You are quite a playboy."
But he could also understand that for someone with Zhou Chen's status, sometimes he didn't even need to look for them, and many women would come to him.
It is normal for young people who are not married to lose control.
He could ignore all these, but he couldn't ignore what concerned the descendants of the Zhou family.
"What about that woman?"
"Not suitable for marriage, but obedient."
"That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is, can she teach the children well?"
"this."
Zhou Chen pondered for a while. With Zhao Jingyu's personality, it seemed unlikely that she would be able to teach a child well.
"Raising a child is not a big problem, but teaching is probably not going to be easy. However, I am here, so I can teach him well."
Old Master Zhou shook his head and said, "You are responsible for the Zhou family's business and don't have that much energy. So, if she gives birth to a boy, send him to me after weaning and I will take care of him myself. If it's a girl, let her take care of it herself."
Zhou Chen was surprised and asked: "Grandpa, you still favor boys over girls?"
Old Master Zhou glared at him: "This is not about favoring boys over girls, but the inheritance of the family can only be passed down by men. Girls will eventually get married, and once they get married, they are outsiders. This is an eternal truth. The continuation of the family can only rely on men."
Zhou Chen: "Okay, I understand. I don't think she would object."
Based on his understanding of Zhao Jingyu, she would definitely be happy to leave the child to Mr. Zhou, because this shows that the old man values her child and she will be the only one who will benefit in the future.
"Xiaochen, if possible, you can have more children. Our Zhou family can afford to raise them no matter how many children you have."
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, are you treating me as a reproductive tool?"
"Hahaha……"
Throughout the whole day, the Zhou family's courtyard was filled with joy, with people coming and going, wishing the old man a happy birthday.
Until the evening, the old man, slightly tipsy, solemnly handed a thick medical book to Zhou Chen and asked him to keep it well as it was the Zhou family's inheritance.
Zhou Chen naturally agreed readily. This thick medical book was the Zhou family's inheritance for hundreds of years and was more precious than anything else.
After staying in his hometown for a day, Zhou Chen brought Grandpa Zhou back to the Magic City the next day.
Old Master Zhou was an impatient man, and after arriving in Shanghai, he immediately went to the laboratory of the pharmaceutical factory and began to check the actual medicines prepared by Zhou Chen.
The finished medicine is a special medicine for treating pneumonia in children, especially for infants and young children. It has a high cure rate. This is also the special medicine that Zhou Chen researched after spending decades in the last world and discussing with many doctors.
In the last world, because a lot of time and money were spent on research, the price of finished drugs was relatively expensive when they appeared, nearly three times more expensive than ordinary drugs.
But even so, after many parents discovered the effectiveness of this special medicine, they didn't care about the price at all and rushed to buy it.
After all, for any parent, the health of their children is obviously more important than money.
After seeing the finished medicine, Grandpa Zhou was even happier and asked Zhou Chen to manage this new medicine well. Whether the Zhou family could become more prosperous depended on this new medicine.
Zhou Chen has more business experience than Grandpa Zhou. This special medicine was so popular and caused a sensation more than ten years later in the last world. At this point in time, once it is launched, it will only cause a bigger sensation.
The old man didn't stay in Shanghai for long. After looking at the new medicine and meeting Zhao Jingyu, he shouted that he wanted to go back. Zhou Chen had no choice but to send him back.
When Zhao Jingyu saw Mr. Zhou, she seemed very uneasy. The majestic Mr. Zhou was really not something she could bear.
But Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, which made her feel at ease, especially since Mr. Zhou assured her that no matter whether the baby was a boy or a girl, she would not lose out on any benefits, and if she could give birth to a boy, she would be rewarded.
The old man's promise made Zhao Jingyu overjoyed. She knew that this was taking advantage of the baby in her belly, but it was also her ability.
Looking back on the past, Zhao Jingyu felt that life was full of ups and downs. Not long ago, she lived in fear every day, fearing that she would encounter a powerful opponent who would snatch her man away.
But now, there is no intrigue, and she just focuses on taking care of the baby every day. She spends money generously. This is the life she has always dreamed of.
At this time, Zhou Chen had already begun preparing to release a new drug. Shortly after the National Day, a new type of special medicine for pediatric pneumonia was put on the shelves. It is specifically designed for the treatment of pneumonia in children under fourteen years old. It can also be taken by children over fourteen years old, but the dosage needs to be much larger.
Thanks to the sales channels of Huaxing Group, this new special-effect medicine was quickly put on the shelves of major pharmacies.
However, because it is a new drug, although it can be sold after strict national inspection, it is difficult to see sales in the short term because not many people have tried it.
However, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. Apart from normal advertising, he did not do too much publicity because he was confident in his medicine. This was a proven fact and all he had to do was leave it to time.
At this time, more than 300 children have gathered in Chenxing Rehabilitation School. These children are accompanied by their parents to attend classes, so the school is crowded and lively.
It has been more than a month since the start of school. The school has overcome the initial problems and is slowly getting back on track, but Zhou Chen is still a long way from his goal.
This period of time can be said to be the busiest time. As the principal, Gu Jia is extremely busy. Fortunately, she has a father who loves her. Her father would rather she work outside than be a housewife, so he takes the initiative to help her take care of the children.
During the time when Gu Jia was busy, Xu Huanshan could be said to be having a great time, and he was with Lin Youyou every now and then.
Xu Huanshan felt very proud to have Lin Youyou, a tea art master, so even though he knew that Gu Jia was not caring much about the family now, he did not argue too much.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the result of our interviews during this period. We have interviewed more than 140 out of more than 300 students, and we have already found that the information provided by 26 of them is completely inconsistent, and the information provided by 42 of them is partially inconsistent. These people basically do not meet our admission requirements."
Chen Yu handed the results of his team's visits during this period to Zhou Chen behind the desk, and then said with a grim expression.
This data was the result of an investigation he led the entire research department to conduct. It was truly shocking. He never thought that these parents would go to such an extent.
He very much agreed with Zhou Chen doing charity, but now that Zhou Chen was unable to make any money, these people were still exploiting Zhou Chen for their own selfish reasons. It was really disheartening.
Although Zhou Chen knew that this kind of thing would definitely happen, he didn't expect the probability to be so high. In total, he investigated more than 140 people, and nearly 70 of them had problems.
Do they really think he is a sucker?
"Mr. Jay, how are you going to deal with this?"
Chen Yu looked at Zhou Chen. He worked in the media and was well aware of the problems with this kind of thing. Zhou Chen's attitude was the most important.
