Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"Miss Liu called me?"

Xia Liu was puzzled. What could that girl possibly want from him?

Back in the hotel, the video he took had fallen into the water. Now, without any leverage on her, why was she reaching out to him?

"Yes, Miss Liu said you need to be at Binlai University on the 8th of this month, or else the cooperation will cease," Li Dazhuang said meaningfully.

If the cooperation stopped, that would mean losing a deal worth over a hundred million yuan in a single supply.

Tianluo Pharmaceutical had already shaped up the sales of Vigor Wine. If Osmanthus Group took over the production of accompanying beverages, it would definitely take a long time to build up the reputation.

Without reputation, who would dare to buy those expensive beverages?

In Huaxia, Tianluo Pharmaceutical is a deeply-rooted major pharmaceutical company. The medicinal liquors they produce are guaranteed quality.

"Uh, she wants me to go to Binlai University? What is she up to?" Xia Liu couldn't understand at all.

As for halting the cooperation, Tianluo Pharmaceutical would definitely not agree. The profits that the medicinal liquor brought to Tianluo Pharmaceutical were absolutely tremendous. Nobody would complain about making too much money.

"That's all she asked me to convey to you," Li Dazhuang said, shaking his head with a bitter expression.

"All right, I got it. I'll contact her myself later."

Although Xia Liu was clueless, he wasn't facing a formidable enemy but just Miss Liu.

If he couldn't handle her, then he might as well quit the game.

After leaving the distillery, Xia Liu called Miss Liu.

"Hello, Miss Liu, I'm not sure what you needed to talk about?" As soon as the call connected, Xia Liu spoke enthusiastically.

"Xia Liu! You finally called me! Very good, very good!"

…

Xia Liu could sense the anger in Miss Liu's tone and was utterly confused about the situation. Ever since she went off to study, he hadn't contacted her much. Could it be just because he hadn't contacted her that she was now angry with him?

"I'm sorry, I've been quite busy lately. I even had my phone stolen a while back, so I lost your number too," Xia Liu apologized, even though he wasn't sure that this was the reason.

"Someone dared to steal your phone? That really is strange," Miss Liu responded coldly.

"Miss, it's all true. I don't know how else I can explain to make you believe me," Xia Liu said, touching his nose, thinking to himself that it would be even harder to believe if he said his phone had been shattered by two torpedoes.

"I don't need your explanation. Just be there at the school gate at 7 a.m. on the 8th."

"What is it exactly? I'm getting scared with you acting like this…"

"Xia Liu, stop pretending. I just want to talk to you for a bit. It won't delay you much."

"Okay, then I'll see you then," Xia Liu didn't ask further. This girl had helped him too much. What's wrong in agreeing to meet her?

Perhaps Miss Liu really was angry about something. As soon as Xia Liu finished speaking, she hung up.

"Ah, such a little girl…"

After a resigned shake of his head, Xia Liu decided to head to the beach.

"Xia Liu, Xia Liu…" Before he had taken a few steps, someone was calling his name from behind.

Turning around, it was Zhang Tie.

"Uncle Zhang, what happened? You look so anxious?" Xia Liu had long since let go of any grudge against Zhang Tie.

Mainly, it was just that Zhang Tie's family was too kind to Zhang Xiaoxue.

Since the day Zhang Tie and his wife apologized, they had been especially protective of Zhang Xiaoxue.

Not only that, but since Zhang Tie had reformed, Xia Liu could tell that he was the most vocal supporter among the villagers.

When there was trouble in the village and Li De brought people to cause trouble, Zhang Tie was the first to stand up in front.

Xia Liu took note of all these things, so calling him Uncle Zhang was well-deserved.

"Heh, Xia Liu, you can just call me Zhang Tie. My wife has not been feeling well these past few days, but Xiaoman needs a guardian to make a trip, so I was wondering if I could trouble you..." Zhang Tie said with a bitter face.

"What's wrong with Xiaoman?" Not dwelling on how to address Zhang Tie, Xia Liu straightforwardly asked.

"Xiaoman is in her senior year now, and she will be starting her internship in a few days, then the school is organizing some event that requires the students' guardians to attend."

"I see..."

Seeing Xia Liu hesitate, Zhang Tie continued, "I've never been to Binlai City, and I don't know the way. Plus, Xiaoman's mom is unwell these days, and I might need to go to the hospital to take care of her, so I didn't know who else to ask but you. If it's inconvenient for you..."

"No worries, I have a lot of time. What's going on with you, though? Is it a hospital stay?"

"Xiaoman's mom has some high blood pressure, and the doctor said she needs to be hospitalized for observation for a while."

"For high blood pressure, you can come to me. Which hospital is it? I'll accompany you to check on her first." Although Mo Li had been rather unpleasant before, Xia Liu naturally wouldn't hold a grudge after Zhang Xiaoxue forgave her. Now they were all villagers, and he certainly wouldn't stand idly by in case of illness.

"Thank you so much Xia Liu. Actually, there's nothing seriously wrong with Xiaoman's mom, it's just some common symptoms for an older pregnant woman. She should be able to return home from the hospital in a few days."

"Uh uh..." Xia Liu was dumbfounded, his face bemused. The daughter was already in her early twenties, and Zhang Tie was still so virile, impressive indeed.

"Really congrats Uncle Zhang, I've got the guardian thing covered, what's the date?" Xia Liu smiled slightly, a village adding a new life was certainly a cause for happiness.

"Xiaoman mentioned it's on the eighth, see if you can schedule it. If not, don't worry about it. These schools are something else, though, what's the deal with organizing events? Couldn't they just handle it themselves instead of dragging us into it?"

"Ah, you can't really say that. When schools organize events, they definitely have their reasons. Anyway, leave it to me, and you take care of Aunt Mo."

"I'm really grateful, and when Xiaoman's sibling is born, you'll have to help us pick a name too," Zhang Tie said happily.

"Heh, if I'm around, I definitely will."

...

Watching Xia Liu's retreating figure, Zhang Tie murmured in his heart, "Xiaoman, this is as far as dad can help..."

The eighth?

On his way back, Xia Liu couldn't help but feel troubled. Liu Lanxin had also asked him to be in front of Binlai University on the eighth, and Xiaoman had an event on the same day.

And it was the same university, what a coincidence.

However, Liu Lanxin's issue was easier to handle, as she only wanted to speak a few words with him.

Xiaoman's matter, since he had promised Zhang Tie, meant he would have to attend as her guardian.

"Alright, I've been thinking about how to make money recently anyhow; a little outing might do some good." Murmuring to himself, Xia Liu could only smile wryly.

With his abilities, he was sure he could resolve both girls' issues.

He thought that taking the opportunity to explore a bit more during this outing might open up new avenues for making money.

Otherwise, the next time Spirit Grass came up, he wouldn't have the funds to bid or purchase it.
