Chapter 577: Chapter 358: White-Haired; You Eat, I’ll Have Instant Noodles (2)
And Zheng Ling marrying Xie Bing was akin to instantly leaping into the ranks of the wealthy.
Not long after marrying Zheng Ling, Xie Bing founded a pharmaceutical company specifically to let his wife Zheng Ling shine in the business world. Zheng Ling, leveraging her accumulated medical skills and special abilities, developed the company into a booming business within a few years, making it the first high-tech pharmaceutical company in Dong to independently develop and produce targeted drugs.
With this successful entrepreneurial experience, Zheng Ling and her husband Xie Bing founded Dongguo Biological Pharmaceutical Company, moving towards the biopharmaceutical field and achieving even greater success.
A few years ago, before the pandemic, pharmaceutical stocks soared, with Dongguo Biological’s market value reaching as high as 150 billion on the stock market. This year it has slipped back to 80 billion, but it still ranks among the top forty global pharmaceutical companies and second among Dong’s pharmaceutical enterprises, practically a business empire!
"The pharmaceutical sector of that major group was basically built from scratch by Zheng Ling and Xie Bing. Zheng Ling might deserve even more credit."
Huang Tianxuan recalled, "I met her five or six years ago when we had a cooperation with the other side. My dad took my brother and me to attend a dinner, and these things were discussed privately after the meal."
Wu Wenyue listened to Huang Tianxuan’s account as though hearing a fantasy story, so amazed that she stopped eating: "Really? Are you exaggerating?"
Huang Tianxuan laughed silently with a bit of disbelief: "I didn’t believe it either at first, but my dad spoke very convincingly, and upon reflection, it seems unlikely to be false. Put yourself in Xie Bing’s position, a man as wealthy as a country, he could have any woman he wanted, why did he choose to marry a girl from the countryside? Especially when there are doubts about her background. Zheng Ling is not stunningly beautiful, her looks are at most above average. Even if Xie Bing was swept away by romance wanting to marry a charlatan, would his family lose their minds? Impossible!"
"Special abilities..." Wu Wenyue fell into a brief confusion, suddenly finding the world somewhat unfamiliar.
Li Peifeng was also a bit baffled, but his thoughts took a darker turn, he speculated: "Is Zheng Ling’s background really that of a farmer? If that’s the case, did she encounter some benefactor after joining the army? She did work as a health doctor at the General Staff... You understand what I mean, Tianxuan?"
Huang Tianxuan first frowned, then her brows relaxed: "I understand, but it probably isn’t as you think. She really is just a farmer; the elders in her village all know she donates supplies to her hometown every year. If she didn’t have any special abilities, she wouldn’t have been specially recruited into the army at fourteen. As for whom she might have met after enlisting, or what connections she might have made with certain leaders, I don’t know about that, but if it were true, there would be some clues, some rumors spreading. My dad could at least know it, but he didn’t mention it to me, so this thing is most probably true."
"Eliminate the most impossible answer, and what remains must be the possibility!"
Huang Tianxuan affirmed and then shifted her tone: "However, according to my dad, after giving birth to a son and a daughter, Zheng Ling claimed to have lost her ability to see through things, which might be true or perhaps she’s just hiding it."
"Even so, it was worth it," Wu Wenyue sighed, "Marrying into a wealthy family with supernatural powers, and instead of just being content with being a housewife, she used her powers and knowledge to establish a pharmaceutical company, building a business empire worth tens of billions... That’s amazing!"
After expressing her admiration, Wu Wenyue turned to Li Peifeng and criticized him: "Look at her, she has special abilities and so do you, but she’s a woman. You can only use your ability to eavesdrop on us, or use it to pick up girls, while she uses hers to make drugs and earn big money, benefiting humanity. Both with special abilities, why is there such a big gap? Do you have any sense of perspective?"
Stop it, stop it! I’m already ashamed!
Li Peifeng bowed his proud head, sighed, and said: "Maybe it’s because I haven’t married into a wealthy family yet, that’s the only difference between me and Ms. Zheng... You guys should hurry and make money to become wealthy, and then give me a couple billion as a dowry, I’ll definitely give you a surprise!"
"Do you even have the gall to say that?!"
Wu Wenyue was so angry she laughed, and kicked Li Peifeng’s leg.
Huang Tianxuan also laughed: "I guess I don’t qualify as wealthy anymore, right? Indeed, compared to the Xie family, I’m just well-off. But I have Zheng Ling’s daughter’s WeChat."
"Her name is Xie Lingyun, she’s two years older than me, she’ll be... thirty this year. Currently, she’s taken over her mother’s role and is the chairperson of the board at Dongguo Biological Pharmaceutical, with a personal net worth of four to five hundred billion, and she’s unmarried... How about I give you her WeChat, you can give it a try? If you can get close to her, forget about a couple billion dowry, a hundred billion would be a small matter."
Li Peifeng pretended to be interested: "How does she look?"
"Not bad, not as pretty as me, her looks are just above average."
Huang Tianxuan took out her phone, raised her eyebrows, and said: "If you’re serious, I’ll send you her WeChat."
"Just kidding." Li Peifeng waved his hand: "Wenyue, you sit down, if you dare to scare people with a knife again, I’ll spank you, in front of Tianxuan!"
"Oh, you’re so capable, you scoundrel!"
Wu Wenyue gave him a fierce glare and sat down to continue eating.
Huang Tianxuan also stopped teasing him, put her phone on the table, and said while eating: "Actually, those drugs you brought out Peifeng, their value is no less than Zheng Ling’s see-through vision. When they are all mass-produced and launched, the market value of Hézhì might exceed that of Dongguo Biological, becoming one of the global TOP 5 pharmaceutical companies."
