Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Director Xia

Long Chen didn’t ponder further on the problems and simply fell asleep.

Having not closed his eyes for a continuous month, even his unusual constitution began to feel somewhat fatigued.

This slumber was especially sound, and Long Chen slept all the way until the next afternoon.

Waking up, the first thing Long Chen did was to check his phone, discovering that Xia Ling had sent dozens of messages.

Besides that, Li Yuechan and Hu Qingqing had also made several phone calls.

Long Chen sat up and replied to Xia Ling with a message, "Dr. Xia, what do you need?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the message was sent, Xia Ling immediately made a WeChat call.

Long Chen picked up and heard Xia Ling’s excited voice, "Are you trying to die, why haven’t you responded to any of my messages?"

"Slept in, just get to the point."

Long Chen was quite cold.

Xia Ling pouted and said, "That old patient came looking for me in the hospital. I conducted a thorough examination on him, and all the cancer cells in his body are gone, oh my god, that old man didn’t have much time left, we all predicted he could live at most another month, but you actually cured him, how did you do it?"

"I developed a kind of Elixir, I haven’t thought of a name yet, how is it? I didn’t bluff you, did I?"

Long Chen smiled.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Ling’s shocked mouth hung open, speechless for a long time.

An issue the entire world couldn’t conquer, Long Chen actually conquered it.

This was just like a myth.

Without a doubt, if this Elixir was released, it would undoubtedly stir up a tremendous storm.

Long Chen smiled and said, "No matter how severe the cancer patient is, just three Elixir pills are needed to clear out the cancer cells, one pill per week."

"Let’s meet up and talk, I’ll treat you to a meal," Xia Ling said immediately.

"I don’t think that’s necessary, after all, you didn’t seem to trust me much before, I’m a bit upset," Long Chen teased on purpose.

As soon as Xia Ling heard this, she immediately panicked, "Brother, Brother Long, I know I was wrong, from now on I’ll listen to everything you say."

"Really? You’ll listen to everything?"

Long Chen smirked.

Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, then bit her lips lightly and said, "As long as you don’t ask me to do bad things with you, everything else is fine."

"How boring, sigh, let’s just forget it then."

Long Chen sighed.

"Why are you so bad?"

Xia Ling ground her teeth in frustration, "Fine, whatever you want, just come out, I’m waiting for you in the restaurant right now, I’ll send you the address immediately."

"Then I shall give you the honor."

Long Chen ended the voice call.

Xia Ling stared at her phone, dumbfounded.

This was the first time a man had hung up on her.

But Xia Ling didn’t dare to show any annoyance.

To be able to develop an Elixir that completely cures cancer, such a person was truly a peerless genius.

In time, he would definitely make a name for himself and become a legendary figure in the medical field.

If she could follow him, she was sure to learn a lot and gain a lot.

She was willing to follow such a prodigy wholeheartedly.

An hour later, Long Chen met with Xia Ling in a restaurant.

Xia Ling saw that Long Chen was unkempt and immediately guessed that he must have been up all night working on the Elixir, not even having time to shave his beard.

With this thought, Xia Ling couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache.

But she concealed it well and didn’t show a hint of it, laughing and asking, "What do you plan to name this Elixir?"

"Call it Cancer Healing Pill, simple and comprehensible, plain and unadorned," Long Chen replied with a smile.

"Indeed, it’s plain and unadorned."

Xia Ling smiled and nodded.

"What, Dr. Xia, are you interested now?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"I’ve already called the hospital to resign," Xia Ling said.

"Would the hospital agree to that?"

"It’s fine. The dean is my grandfather," Xia Ling said.

"This..."

Long Chen was astonished.

He hadn’t expected that the dean of the hospital was Xia Ling’s grandfather.

"Hehe, from now on, I’ll be following you, Brother Long. You have to treat me well," Xia Ling said with a playful laugh.

"Let’s not," Long Chen said. "Following me, you’ll endure a lot of hardship, be very busy, and besides, you definitely aren’t short on money. Even if I offered you an annual salary of five million, you wouldn’t be interested."

"Who says I’m not short on money? I’m desperately short, but you’ve got to have dreams, right? I want to follow you and make a name for myself under the heavens," Xia Ling said.

"But, whether I take you on, I really need to give it some thought. As you know, for someone as outstanding as myself, finding a few beautiful lady doctors is not at all a challenge."

Long Chen said it with an easy smile, purposely teasing Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was genuinely panicked; such a good opportunity, she really didn’t want to miss it.

"Brother Long, I’ve already resigned. When my grandfather asked me why, I just said I didn’t want to do it anymore, no other reason, and I completely infuriated the old man. If you don’t want me, what am I supposed to do? I’ll become a child with no place to return to. Wuu, Brother Long, you wouldn’t be that cruel, would you?"

"If you want to follow me, that’s fine, but you’ve got to show some token of commitment," Long Chen said with a mischievous smile.

Xia Ling froze. Could it be that he wanted to play by unspoken rules with her?

Xia Ling’s face turned red in an instant.

It took her a while before she said in a very small voice, "Then let me be your girlfriend, otherwise... otherwise I can’t let go. What I mean is, be your girlfriend for the day."

"Haha."

Long Chen burst out laughing, extremely amused.

Xia Ling was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, yet didn’t dare to get angry. "Brother Long, what... what are you laughing at?"

"Just kidding with you, silly girl. How about this, I’m going to register a related company, and from now on, you will be the company’s director. Director Xia, second only to me. You’ll handle everything from advertising, operations, to hiring finance and all that. In short, you’ll manage everything."

Long Chen became slightly more serious.

"Don’t we need a manager or something?" Xia Ling asked.

"That’s up to you. Director Xia is the biggest boss under me. As for how to title other positions and how to pay their salaries, I’m not interested. You have full authority to handle that. Just transfer the money to my bank account on time every month. Also, I’m giving you a five percent share of the profits," Long Chen said.

Hearing this, Xia Ling was deeply shaken.

An elixir that could cure cancer would undoubtedly be a global sensation. As the inventor of the elixir and the party producing it, not only would Long Chen save countless lives from cancer, but he would also surely join the ranks of the world’s top billionaires as a result.

And Long Chen himself didn’t want to take care of things, letting her take the reins. Such immense power, and he had hinted that he wanted her – could it be that it wasn’t a joke after all, and he was serious?

Because only if she became his real woman would he trust her more completely.

Thinking this, Xia Ling felt even more that her guess might be right: the power Long Chen was giving her was simply too great.

Looking at the exceedingly handsome Long Chen, thinking of this man who had tackled one of the world’s greatest challenges.

Wasn’t this the kind of man she had been looking for all along?

Maybe, becoming his woman wouldn’t be such a bad thing after all.

"Brother Long, I’ve thought it through," Xia Ling said, her face flushed, gathering her courage to speak seriously, "From now on, I’m your woman. I’ll help you take care of everything."

"Ah?"

Long Chen was stunned.

"I’m not joking. I know that giving me so much power requires greater trust, and I’m willing," Xia Ling said.

Long Chen was torn between laughter and tears. "Dr. Xia, oh no, I should call you Director Xia, don’t let your imagination run wild. I was just teasing you. Just do a good job as director."

"Brother Long, you don’t need to feel awkward. I’ve said it, so I won’t regret it. I’ll prove through my actions that I’m worthy of your trust."
