Chapter 290: Coincidence
Everyone turned to look at Xue Xi.
As Xue Yao started crying, tears and mucus flowed down her cheeks. “Is it because you don’t like me? Ever since you returned, our family has been in conflict! Now that Fan Han is trying to woo you, you’ve snatched everything of mine away. Are you satisfied?”
She seemed to have held it in for a long time. After she finally shouted this, she rushed out of the classroom while crying.
Xue Xi: “…”
This person was really baffling.
She frowned and felt extremely annoyed. At this moment, not only did Fan Han not rush out to look for Xue Yao, he even came to her. “Xue Xi, I’m sorry. I…”
I’ve been speechless for a long time.
Xue Xi frowned.
She did not speak, but the chatterbox, Qin Shuang, rebutted, “Fan Han, aren’t you being too much of a man? You can’t even handle your own woman, yet you come looking for my Sister Xi to behave atrociously when you’re in trouble. Do you think she’s easy to bully? Moreover, your marriage agreement has already been annulled. Don’t come looking for trouble with my Sister Xi whenever you encounter any setbacks! My Sister Xi’s greatest wish now is for you to stay away from her and not bring her any trouble!”
Fan Han’s face turned red as he stood there in his school uniform. After a while, he said, “Sorry, I’ll settle it.”
After saying that, he chased after Xue Yao.
Soon, school ended and Xue Xi and Qin Shuang returned home.
Xue Sheng’s new company was temporarily not established, so the six elders gathered at home and had a meeting in his study upstairs.
When they reached home, Ye Li was cutting fruits and planning to serve them.
When she saw Qin Shuang, she seemed to have thought of something. She hurriedly took a peeled apple and passed it to Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang: “?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Ye Li smiled and said, “Xiao Shuang, go upstairs and rest well. Take a shower. When did you come back?”
Qin Shuang took the apple and went upstairs in confusion.
Ye Li dragged Xue Xi to the side and reminded her, “Xixi, did you know that Cen Bai has a girlfriend?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Seeing her calm expression, Ye Li knew that this child was probably not concerned about the entertainment industry.
Ye Li continued, “Xiao Shuang’s idol is Cen Bai. I saw on the internet that some fanatical fans have become devastated. She must be very sad right now.”
Xue Xi: “… She has been smiling.”
Ye Li suddenly understood. “Look, she’s forcing a smile!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Ye Li taught her, “Your good friend, your best friend, will definitely cry and complain when she encounters a relationship problem. Hurry up and go upstairs to her bedroom. At this time, she needs your comfort. Sleep with her tonight. Anyway, you won’t be going to school tomorrow! You guys can have a good chat and make her feel better!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Just as Xue Xi was about to explain, Ye Li clenched her fists and encouraged, “All the best!”
“…”
Xue Xi suddenly understood what Ye Li meant.
It was not that she was overflowing with maternal love. She was good to everyone and good to Qin Shuang because Qin Shuang was her friend. Ye Li wanted her to make a few more friends and was now teaching her how to get along with them.
Xue Xi could only nod helplessly. “Okay.”
Ye Li let her go. Just as she’d gone upstairs, she saw the office door open.
Xiao Song walked in front while the rest followed behind her.
Xue Sheng had sent them out.
When this group of people saw Xue Xi, they recalled that Xue Xi was someone who could even settle with Mr. Xiang. Hence, they respectfully stood up and shouted, “Eldest Young Lady!”
Xue Xi: “…”
After greeting Xue Xi, they went downstairs.
Meanwhile, Xue Sheng personally sent the few of them out. When they reached the door, Xiao Song’s face was still filled with worry. “Mr. Xue, are we really going to switch professions? The pharmaceutical and chemical industry is too different from our previous business. As the saying goes, two mountains may as well be worlds apart…”
Xue Sheng nodded. “I know about your worries, but the industry is already on the decline, and automation is on the rise. Moreover, I don’t want to have any business competition with the Maosheng Group. Believe me, the pharmaceutical chemical materials will definitely be the most worthwhile investment in the future! We need to contact some medical chemistry experts now and focus on producing our own medicine!”
Xue Sheng had always been a man of his word when it came to business. Back then, when he said that he wanted to build a manufacturing business, the Maosheng Group had also benefited from it.
Now that the real estate industry was on the decline and the manufacturing industry was in a terrible state, the pharmaceutical industry had become the most worthy of attention. This was because when one’s income fell, one could choose not to buy clothes, eat out, or live in a house. However, when one was sick, one must take medicine!
And the medicine needed chemical materials.
Xiao Song nodded.
Xue Sheng looked at her. “The company’s starting capital is only this much, and I want you guys to help me find a Chemist who can make a chemical compound called D-acid.”
Xiao Song nodded again. “I’ll definitely do my best!”
After Xiao Song left, Ye Li walked out and asked, “Why are you so obsessed with medicine? Moreover, what’s the use of that D whatever?”
Xue Sheng looked at Ye Li and said, “This is a kind of medicine that can treat mental illnesses. I’ve been thinking about how Dad has been sick for so many years. Ji Silin has always said that this medicine is useful, but currently, no one in the world can develop it, so I want to give it a try.”
Ye Li’s eyes turned warm.
Her father was originally a scientist, but he suddenly became like this. Even after so many years, Ji Silin could only help treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It was because there was no good special medicine that could treat him.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the Xue family, Xue Sheng would actually do this for her.
However, would they be able to develop drugs that no one in the world could?
Xue Sheng said, “There are few people who could develop this kind of medicine. After all, the profit isn’t high. We don’t lack money now. I just want to help alleviate Dad’s illness.”
…
Xue Xi returned to her bedroom. After showering, she did not hear anyone calling for her to eat downstairs, so she automatically opened a book on chemical elements.
After memorizing the vocabulary during this period of time, she could already eat this English book.
While she was reading this book, she suddenly saw a chemistry question written on a piece of paper.
“Given the chemical elements listed here, calculate what kind of chemical changes must happen in order for D-acid to be produced.”
She had been reading this book for a long time and had some insights. Could she now test her self-study chemistry knowledge?
As she thought this, Xue Xi took out a piece of paper and started calculating.
