The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Xia Ling spoke seriously and earnestly, her beautiful eyes staring unblinkingly at Long Chen.

Long Chen smiled lightly, picked up his tea and took a sip before smiling and said, "Since you’re so confident, let’s discuss what the company’s name should be."

"It’s up to you, the boss, to decide. I’ll handle the operations, organize the sales team, and other tasks—I’m sure I can do well," Xia Ling said.

"Then I’ll just pick one. I have a medical hall called Dragon Medical Hall, so I’ll name my company Dragon Doctor Company," Long Chen smiled.

"Isn’t that a bit casual? How about adding ’World-saving’ at the end? ’Hang-your-pot-to-save-the-world’, Dragon Doctor World-saving Company—it sounds much better. Long Brother, what do you think?" Xia Ling asked with a smile.

"That works, let’s go with that name," Long Chen said. "By the way, there’s something else I need to make clear. For now, our elixirs are limited and will only be sold to citizens within the Great Xia Dynasty, not to foreigners. Of course, eventually, we will sell internationally. For our own people, each elixir will cost ten thousand, three for thirty thousand. You handle the specifics of the operations. When it comes to selling internationally, each pill needs to cost at least one hundred thousand."

"Also, no matter who comes to buy, they must have a cancer diagnosis from a hospital, and each patient is limited to three elixirs. If they absolutely must exceed this limit, then each elixir will cost five million."

"That’s harsh, impressive. This might be the toughest elixir policy I’ve ever seen. But what if someone analyzes the elixir after buying it and tries to reproduce its composition? Could that lead to counterfeit products?" Xia Ling asked.

"That’s not going to happen," Long Chen confidently said. "My elixirs cannot be replicated by anyone in the world, because I am the only one who can perform the alchemy. In the future, I will be handling the production of elixirs by myself. Speaking of anti-counterfeiting, you need to ensure that our anti-counterfeiting measures are done well; no mess-ups."

"Mm, I understand," Xia Ling nodded lightly.

"All right, then in a while we’ll go and register the company, rent an office building, and afterward, it’s all on you. I will only be providing the elixirs."

"Brother Long, you just sit back and relax as a hands-off proprietor. With such powerful elixirs, I will make sure they become a legend in the world," Xia Ling said with a light laugh, full of confidence.

"Not only will there be elixirs for treating cancer, but there will also be ones for AIDS. I will research cures for all terminal diseases," Long Chen said with a smile.

Xia Ling was dumbfounded by what he said, but she did not think Long Chen was joking.

Because Long Chen had already proven his capabilities with his strength.

...

Ten days later, the company was successfully registered, and the office building was ready.

Xia Ling recruited the essential talents for the company, including the finance department, advertising department, sales department, making the team complete.

During these ten days, Long Chen had been busy alchemizing every day.

In ten days, he had produced two thousand elixirs, which he packed in burlap sacks and brought to the office to hand over to Xia Ling.

Seeing the elixirs that would sell for ten thousand yuan each being casually packed in burlap sacks by Long Chen, Xia Ling almost collapsed in exasperation. "Brother Long, how could you do this? At least find a clean, neat box to pack them."

Long Chen shrugged and smiled, "My burlap sacks are very clean. Additionally, fancy packaging is your job, not mine."

"Humph, I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

Xia Ling gave Long Chen a glance.

"Do your work well; I’m going home to continue alchemy. Come get the elixirs from me in ten days. I’ve found a faster way to produce them; by then, I should have ten thousand elixirs," Long Chen said.

"You’ve been working hard; make sure to rest," Xia Ling said.

"Mm, I’m off."

Long Chen waved his hand and turned to leave.

But as he reached the doorway, Long Chen suddenly turned back and said, "Keep my identity a secret."

"Mm."

Xia Ling nodded lightly.

She was somewhat puzzled as to why Long Chen insisted on secrecy.

Inventing an elixir that could cure cancer should be an achievement that could make one famous worldwide. Did Long Chen really not care about that at all?

But no matter what, Xia Ling reminded herself privately to always follow Long Chen’s wishes. If he said to keep it a secret, then she must keep it a secret.

...

Outside, Long Chen did not return to Zhao Churan’s home but went straight to Emperor Villa District.

He had purchased a villa there forty days ago, which had now been fully renovated and was ready for move-in.

After checking everything, Long Chen returned to Zhao Churan’s home and told Zhao Churan he planned to move in.

Because moving in would give him more space for alchemy.

Zhao Churan had no objections but told Long Chen that she could not move in with him right away.

Long Chen was a bit perplexed as he looked at Zhao Churan, "Could it be that you have changed your mind?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Churan gave Long Chen a look and said with a bitter smile, "Of course, I’d love to move in with you, but when I brought this up to my parents, they wouldn’t let me."

"Why is that?" Long Chen was even more confused, "Do your parents disapprove of us being together?"

"They said you living in my place is okay, but if you want me to move into the house you bought, it can’t be rushed, you must.... must...."

Zhao Churan struggled to continue.

Long Chen immediately understood, smiled, and said, "I get it, don’t worry; I’ll visit your home soon."

"Do you really understand?"

"I do," Long Chen said. "They need me to personally come in front of them to make a promise, to see my sincerity."

"Hehe, hubby, you’re so smart, I love you."

Zhao Churan excitedly threw herself into Long Chen’s arms.

"Hey, hey, can you two be a bit more mindful? There are minors present."

Zhuge Xuan hurriedly exclaimed.

"Who’s a minor? Are you asking for a beating?"

Unrivaled immediately scowled.

"You two, go pack up your things. I’ll take you little guys in tonight," Long Chen said, turning his head.

"Okay!"

"Brother Chen, I’ll go right now."

Unrivaled and Zhuge Xuan immediately turned around and headed to their respective rooms.

"Are you moving out tonight?" Zhao Churan asked.

"Yes, the herbs I’ve been researching recently, I’m actually concocting something, and I’ve succeeded. Moving to the new house gives me a bigger space, better for handling things," Long Chen explained.

"Alright then, when will you come back with me to meet my parents?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"I’ll pick you up the day after tomorrow then. By the way, have you been in touch with Yuechan?" Zhao Churan inquired.

"Not much. She calls me every day, but I rarely have time to respond," Long Chen said.

Hearing this, Zhao Churan quickly said, "You can’t keep doing this, you know. You’ve been neglecting her for over a month now. That’s enough, don’t go too far. If she really runs off to find another man, what will you do? You’ll regret it deeply, hmph, I know that the person you truly love is still Yuechan."

"Let’s talk about her matter later. If Li Yuechan really has sincerity, she won’t just try to contact me online. Okay, Churan darling, I’m moving out tonight, and before I do, I think we need to do something sacred and grand."

Long Chen winked.

"You rascal, you’ve been staying up late every night recently, can you handle it?"

Zhao Churan’s eyes were shy.

Even though they had been living together for a long time, whenever certain topics came up with Long Chen, Zhao Churan was always bashful.

Long Chen reached out, embracing Zhao Churan: "Don’t you know though? Now tell me honestly, can I handle it?"

"I think it’s a bit lacking."

Zhao Churan lied shamelessly.

"I think you need to be taught a lesson."

Long Chen swooped her into his arms and headed towards the room.

"Stop it, Unrivaled and Zhuge Xuan will hear us, don’t cause a scene."

Zhao Churan whispered coyly.

"They are good kids; they won’t eavesdrop."

Then, with a bang.

The room door was abruptly closed by Long Chen.

Moments later, Unrivaled and Zhuge Xuan came out.

With their incredible hearing, they caught some curious sounds.

Zhuge Xuan was an adult and naturally knew what it was.

But Unrivaled, clueless, asked Zhuge Xuan, "Did Brother Chen and her, were they fighting?"

"Fight your head, you little silly."

Zhuge Xuan rolled her eyes at Unrivaled.

"Then why did I hear Zhao Churan whimpering?" Unrivaled frowned.

"This..."

Zhuge Xuan blushed slightly, momentarily unsure of how to explain to Unrivaled.

After a moment of thought, Zhuge Xuan felt it was better not to explain.

"Come on, tell me."

Unrivaled urged.

"Little brat, I can’t be bothered with you."

Zhuge Xuan turned and went back to her room, not wanting to deal with Unrivaled.

"Hmph, forget it then, I’ll go check it out myself."

Unrivaled muttered and then walked towards the room where Long Chen and Zhao Churan were.

Hearing something off about Unrivaled’s footsteps, Zhuge Xuan hurriedly ran out of her room to stop her.

But by then, it was too late. Unrivaled pushed hard and instantly opened the door, breaking the lock.

The sight that met her eyes shocked Unrivaled so much that she covered her mouth, stunned.

On the second floor, Zhuge Xuan covered her eyes, unable to look,

At the scene of the incident, the involved parties, Long Chen and Zhao Churan, also caught off guard, stood frozen in place.
