Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 1054

With Cedric's verbal assurance, Sasha was immediately relieved.

She heaved a sigh of relief and immediately asked him, "Dr. Cao, I will be attending my family meeting later. Some people may question and doubt me, so I would like to ask you to..."

Just as Sasha was rushing home, Fade had received a message from Lily that said, "Sasha Li invited a Chinese medicine practitioner from South Bay City. I heard that it's someone from the Acupuncture King's Cao family. They are probably trying to target us and do something to our Life Elixir Wine."

"Acupuncture King's Cao family!" Hearing this name, Fade remembered that some time ago, Henric had gone to Dragonville City for an acupuncture competition with Caesar.

"Lily, what's the name of the person who came?" Fade asked.

Lily answered, "His name is Cedric Cao. I heard that he is the son of Lamont Cao, the Acupuncture King. He is also the cousin to Hayden Cao, who is the current head of the Cao family." "Cedric Cao!" Fade could recall this name as he had heard Mr. Tu mentioning it previously when talking about the situation of the Cao family.

Without a doubt, the most powerful person in the Cao family was Lamont Cao. As a National Chinese Medical Doctor, he possessed outstanding acupuncture skills. However, the medical skills of Lamont's children were far inferior when compared to his. It was not until one of his grandsons, Henric Cao, held outstanding talents and managed to inherit his grandfather's various skills. He was then crowned the title of Acupuncture Prince.

Amongst them, as the current head of the Cao family, Hayden, had completely abandoned his medical studies and ventured into the business industry. Using the name of Acupuncture King, the Cao family managed to develop a major Chinese medicine brand in South Bay City, even expanding their business to several parts of the country.

As such, Cedric was probably one of the several members from the younger generation who had inherited Lamont's medical skills. However, none of the younger generations managed to make their name well known in the traditional Chinese medicine circle. From this, one could deduce that Cedric's medical skills were only mediocre at best.

Fade's silence worried Lily as she asked, "Fade, what's the matter? Will Cedric cause us any trouble? I know that the Li family has always wanted to crack the formula of our Life Elixir Wine."

Fade smiled and assured her, "Lily, don't worry about this. It is impossible to crack my Life Elixir Wine formula, let alone have Cedric try. Even if Lamont tried personally, it would still be impossible."

"Since Sasha wants to put up a fight, just let her be. I would like to see how far she can go."

When Lily noted Fade's confidence, she was immediately relieved.

On the other hand, Sasha had brought Cedric back to the Li family's villa.

As soon as she returned, a group of cousins greeted her. Every one of them held different amounts of animosity towards her that they hid skillfully under their expressions.

"Sasha, you are back!"

"Sasha, it's been a long time! You've finally come back home."

"Sasha, since you've been quite busy, I guess the hospital's business must be pretty good."

"Grandfather heard about what happened to you and immediately sat up from the hospital bed. This is truly..."

Sasha listened to their words and just snorted coldly, "I will prove to grandfather my own career. Don't you all worry about it."

After speaking, Sasha led Cedric into the villa past the group of people.

Martin greeted her and saw a strange middle-aged man beside his daughter. He couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked, "Sasha, this is..."

Sasha quickly explained to her father, "Dad, this is Dr. Cedric, I am going to..."

After a while, a group of people gathered in the bedroom.

"That's right, it is not too late for you to apologize after we clarify the exact amount of losses you've caused. We can follow the family rules after that."

Before Sasha could even respond, someone immediately stepped out with various data and statistics.

"Old Master, this is the data from The Li's Hospital during this period of time."

"Since the establishment of The Li's Hospital for the past month, the amount of investments in the hospital is more than 10 billion yuan. It has earned a total of 30 million yuan and accumulated losses that add up to around 10 billion yuan. Moreover, the hospital has been experiencing a loss of 3 million yuan and above daily now..."

After a series of reports, even Fenrir's expression was grim despite his love for Sasha.

After the data was listed, the others immediately began to bombard Sasha with criticisms, "Sasha, do you have anything you'd like to say about this?"

Sasha's face turned pale and her expression was unhappy. However, she bit her lip and admitted, "I have nothing to say. It's true."

Hearing this, everyone scoffed in disdain. They turned towards the Old Master and said, "Since Sasha has admitted it herself, my suggestion is to shut down The Li's Hospital immediately so we can minimize the amount of losses suffered. At the same time, Sasha must reflect on herself and make the necessary changes in order to prevent something similar from happening in the future again."

It was obvious what they wanted. They wanted Sasha to admit to her mistakes and concede defeat.

Upon hearing those words, both Sasha and Martin's expression immediately darkened. The failure of this project and the loss of more than one billion yuan were not the main point. The main problem was that this was the first project that Sasha was independently responsible for.

If the project was directly declared a failure, it would be a huge blow to Sasha's image and status in the Li family. It would also be a major obstacle for her if she wanted to take over the Li's family business in the future.
