In Elder Liu's eyes, a pharmaceutical group with a scale of at least a billion yuan was just a minor issue.
In fact, as long as it involved money, it was not a problem in Elder Liu's eyes at all. Moreover, this pharmaceutical group was not the most important among Family Liu's industries. Although it could produce considerable profits every year, it was not the main business of Family Liu's industry.
Although it was a little painful to give it up directly, it would not hurt him.
As long as he could save his life, let alone a pharmaceutical group, even if he had to give up a part of Family Liu's main business, Elder Liu would not even frown.
What he cared more about was not these economic interests.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Elder Liu, you and Grandpa Song are old comrades. You have been friends for so many years. Before coming this time, Grandpa Song has been persuading me to try my best to treat you within the scope of my ability …"
Elder Liu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Xiao Xia, I know Old Song too well. It is impossible for him to say such things. Don't play tricks in front of me!"
Xia Ruofei could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
What was the saying? Perhaps your enemy is the one who knows you best.
Although this was not appropriate to apply to Master Song and Elder Liu, because the two old men were not only enemies, it could also explain the relationship between Elder Liu and Master Song from a certain point of view.
Xia Ruofei said, "Elder Liu, Grandpa Song respects my opinion, so he does not want to affect my decision. However, he did say that if something were to happen to you this time, his heart would feel empty, and it would be very unpleasant! "
"This sounds like what Old Song would say!" Elder Liu laughed and said. Then he looked into Xia Ruofei's eyes and said, "Xiao Xia, I know what you are thinking … but that is impossible!"
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "Why? Elder Liu, Family Liu and Family Song have great influence. If the two families unite, it will be a strong alliance. I think it will be good for both of your families! "
Although Xia Ruofei did not say it clearly, Elder Liu had obviously guessed it. Xia Ruofei hoped that Family Liu and Family Song could become friends.
Of course, Elder Liu rejected it almost without hesitation.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Elder Liu's face showed a bitter smile and said, "Xiao Xia, there are very complicated reasons. It can't be explained in a few sentences …"
"Then, make it short!" Xia Ruofei said, "With me here, your body will not have any problems. We have a lot of time."
After that, Xia Ruofei stepped forward and gently kneaded a few acupoints on Elder Liu's body. At the same time, he injected a small amount of True Qi to stimulate these acupoints.
Elder Liu suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his meridians. His body, which was originally very weak from the torture of the disease, seemed to be much lighter all of a sudden. He felt that he had strength in his body.
Even though Elder Liu had experienced many storms, he still could not help but lose his composure at this time. The shocked expression on his face did not dissipate for a long time.
After a long while, Elder Liu murmured, "This … this is a real miracle! Xiao Xia, I am now more and more confident in your treatment methods … "
Xia Ruofei did not use any needles or medicine just now. He just relied on his bare hands to massage the acupoints, and it actually had such a miraculous effect. This was an eye-opener for Elder Liu, and at the same time, it gave birth to a strong hope of survival.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is just a small trick. It can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause … Through the appropriate pressure and stimulation of specific acupuncture points, it can stimulate your body's potential and make you feel better mentally than before. But that's all there is to it. It can't help your condition at all!"
"This is already very magical!" Elder Liu sighed. "Ever since I found out about this disease, I have never felt so full of strength like I do now …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Elder Liu, why don't you satisfy my curiosity first? Just now, you said that it is impossible for the Liu and Song families to form an alliance. What is your concern? "
After Elder Liu's spirit improved, he seemed to be in a much better mood. He said, "Xiao Xia, politics is really too complicated. There is no standard that is black and white. You know, our two families have been fighting for so many years. Although there is no blood feud between us, there are countless grudges between us. Elder Song and I can smile when we meet, but what about our children? What about our grandchildren? There are also the large number of family members, as well as the forces and allies that are closely related to our family … These people are not on the same side as the Song Family, especially our allies. Basically, all of them have some sort of conflict with the Song Family. If the Liu Family and the Song Family form an alliance, where should our allies stand? This is not a child's play … "
Xia Ruofei heard this and nodded. Although he did not particularly understand the matters between the big families, after listening to Elder Liu's words, he was still faintly inspired. He also knew that he was thinking too simply.
Elder Liu smiled and continued, "There is an even more important reason."
"Oh? What reason? "Xia Ruofei asked curiously.
"You just said that our Family Liu and their Family Song have a huge influence." Elder Liu said, "Now that our two families are not willing to submit to each other, it is relatively safe for us to fight with each other. Have you ever thought that if Family Liu and Family Song really form an alliance, then wouldn't the influence of this alliance be too terrifying? It would even surpass the country! Do you think that such an alliance could possibly exist? "
Speaking of this, Elder Liu revealed a meaningful smile and cast his gaze on Xia Ruofei's face.
Xia Ruofei heard this and could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Elder Liu's words really hit the nail on the head. The reasons mentioned before were probably not the main reason. Only this point really hit the nail on the head.
Xia Ruofei nodded silently. He had indeed agreed with Elder Liu's words.
However, he did not know what to say. Before coming this time, he had actually thought of what he wanted. One of the most important points was to promote the alliance between Family Liu and Family Song. Now it seemed that this was really difficult to achieve. Or rather, he thought of things too simply.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei could not help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
Elder Liu said, "Little Xia, I definitely can't fulfill the conditions you mentioned. If there is no room for negotiation, then these old bones of mine can only lie here and wait for death …"
Elder Liu's words were firm. He would rather be seriously ill than let his family be in extreme danger.
Forming an alliance with Family Song was a huge gamble for Family Liu. Elder Liu was obviously unwilling to gamble his family because he already knew that if he really did as Xia Ruofei said, the possibility of losing the bet was very high.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "If that's the case, then pretend that I didn't say anything!"
Elder Liu smiled and nodded. He said, "Little Xia, forming an alliance is definitely impossible. The most I can promise you is that from now on, as long as Family Song does not take the initiative to provoke us, our Family Liu will not deliberately fight against Family Song. In addition, in the conflict between Family Song and other forces, our Family Liu will maintain absolute neutrality! "
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "Okay! Then it's a promise! "
It was impossible to write a contract for this kind of thing because it had no legal effect. Even if there was a contract, it would not have any binding effect. Therefore, at this time, Xia Ruofei could only choose to believe that Elder Liu would not go back on his words.
Of course, more importantly, Xia Ruofei had countermeasures at any time, so he was not afraid of Family Liu going back on his words.
Old Man Liu smiled and said, "Tell me about your other conditions!"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "No, that's all!"
"That's all?" Elder Liu showed a very surprised expression and asked, "Is it really that simple?"
Xia Ruofei spread his hands and said, "In fact, when I treated Grandpa Song, I didn't take a single cent. You're paying a consultation fee of more than a billion at once. Isn't that high enough? "
If Xia Ruofei did not want to reduce some trouble, he might not have considered coming to see Elder Liu and directly rejected him. In his mind, the status of Elder Liu and Master Song were obviously different, so he would accept a complete pharmaceutical group as his consultation fee.
Elder Liu laughed and said, "What's more than a billion? If it weren't for you, even if I spent ten billion or a hundred billion, I wouldn't be able to save this old life of mine! Old Song's luck is really good! He didn't die from that kind of injury back then, and he can meet such a strange person like you when he's old … "
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "You flatter me, I'm not a strange person."
After that, Xia Ruofei stood up and said, "Alright then! Elder Liu, today's meeting was very pleasant, so I'll take my leave first. I'll come to treat you in a few days as promised. "
Elder Liu saw that Xia Ruofei suddenly wanted to leave, so he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xia, you … Can you give me some medicine first? This illness is really terrible when it hurts! I feel like my whole body is being bitten by ants, and there's no place in my internal organs that doesn't hurt … "
Now that he thought about that feeling, Elder Liu still couldn't help but shiver because it was really too painful, so much so that even a veteran like him, who had survived the battlefield of blood and fire, couldn't help but cry out in pain. He could only rely on painkillers to ensure a certain amount of sleep.
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "There won't be any problems in a few days! And I'll be in Beijing these few days, so if your illness really worsens, just give me a call, and I'll definitely rush over as soon as possible … "
Elder Liu knew that Xia Ruofei wouldn't do anything before he saw the real money. After all, the cooperation between Family Liu and Xia Ruofei this time was more like a business deal — since it was a business deal, there naturally wasn't a situation where he would send out the goods before the money was in place.
Even so, he couldn't help but ask, "Then … Then can you massage me a few more times with that relaxing tendons and activating meridians? I feel that after your massage, my whole body feels much more comfortable … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sure! Just take it as a complimentary gift! "
After that, Xia Ruofei smiled and walked in front of Elder Liu. He reached out his hand and accurately found a few acupuncture points. As he gently pressed them, he separated a small strand of True Qi and sent it in …
After a few minutes, Xia Ruofei pushed open the door of the ward and walked out. He nodded slightly at Fang Zhongming, who was at the door.
Liu Qunfeng, who was sitting on the long bench next to him, immediately stood up and walked over quickly.
Xia Ruofei smiled at Liu Qunfeng and said, "Minister Liu, then I'll take my leave first!"
Liu Qunfeng was stunned for a moment. He couldn't tell what exactly Xia Ruofei and his father had talked about in the ward, and whether or not they had reached a consensus.
While he was stunned, Xia Ruofei had already nodded at Fang Zhongming and walked in the direction of the elevator.
Liu Qunfeng subconsciously called out, "Mr. Xia …"
"Qunfeng!" Elder Liu's voice came from the ward, "Come in for a moment!"
"Okay!" Liu Qunfeng quickly replied.
He took another look at Xia Ruofei's back, then quickly walked into the ward with a stomach full of questions.
"Dad, did he agree?" Liu Qunfeng asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.
Elder Liu didn't answer directly, but said lightly, "Go to the room over there and take a look. See if the equipment they installed this morning recorded anything."
Even though Liu Qunfeng was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask his father. He could only nod helplessly and leave the ward.
After a while, Liu Qunfeng returned to the ward with a strange expression.
When Elder Liu saw his son's expression, he could guess what was going on. He asked calmly, "Did you record anything?"
Liu Qunfeng frowned slightly and said, "It's not that there's nothing, it's just that … there's no sound, and … the images taken by the two cameras are very blurry, as if the light is distorted. I can't even see your mouth in the images. That Xia kid's back was facing the camera, so I could only see a blurry back …"
In fact, this was the effect of the enchantment. Xia Ruofei didn't deliberately take more precautions, but the recording equipment arranged by the Family Liu was blind and deaf.
In fact, Elder Liu had already expected this. Hearing this, he only nodded lightly.
Liu Qunfeng muttered to himself, "This is too strange … I tested it a few times this morning, and it's all fine! Also … I checked. Before that Xia brat came in, the sound and image were normal. But after he sat down here, the image suddenly became blurry. Also, there were some ambient sounds recorded from the beginning to the end, but there was no sound of the two of you talking. "
Xia Ruofei didn't do anything to the recording equipment. He only set up a soundproof enchantment in the small area around him and Elder Liu, so the recording equipment could still record some ambient sounds like the chirping of birds outside the window, but it couldn't record the two of them talking.
This was completely incomprehensible to Liu Qunfeng, unless Xia Ruofei and Elder Liu just sat there staring at each other for nearly half an hour without saying a word.
But this was too ridiculous! Even Liu Qunfeng himself found it unbelievable.
Elder Liu said lightly, "Qunfeng, don't dwell on these small matters … Go and call all the core members of the family in Beijing over, I have something to say!"
