Martial Arts Across the Heavens: Becoming a Martial God Starting from the Big Boss in Tangshan

Chapter 142 Which China are you loyal to?

Huang Feihong was also very curious about why this important official of the imperial court, a big shot who controlled the military affairs of the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, was so polite in inviting them.

The Nine Gates Admiral put down his wine cup, his smile unchanged, but his tone carried a hint of emotion: "It's not a matter of giving orders. You two are now renowned figures both at home and abroad."

He paused, looked at Huang Feihong who looked puzzled, and continued, "Especially the medicines produced by your Baozhilin Pharmaceutical Factory, I have also heard of them."

"That Kangfuxin Liquid is remarkably effective for both external and internal injuries! Montmorillonite powder is extremely effective in treating diarrhea."

"Even more remarkable is penicillin," which is now considered a life-saving drug by Westerners and is extremely rare and expensive!

"The name of Po Chi Lam is now renowned both at home and abroad!"

"This admiral is nothing in front of you."

Huang Feihong was genuinely surprised when he heard this.

A surge of indescribable excitement and pride welled up within me.

He was obsessed with medicine and took it upon himself to help people and save lives.

Later, although he followed Chen Wen to devote himself to a grander cause, his attention to medicine inevitably became somewhat diverted.

But when he heard that the medicine he and Chen Wen had developed had such a reputation, and was even famous overseas!

The sense of accomplishment instantly made him excited.

Huang Feihong quickly looked at Chen Wen, his eyes shining brightly: "Brother Chen! I never expected our medicine to be so effective!"

Chen Wen simply smiled slightly, raised his glass to him, and gestured for him to remain calm.

Huang Feihong didn't understand the true significance of it, but he was very clear about it in his heart.

Their pharmaceutical factories are more than gold mines can describe.

Gold mines will eventually run out, but their factories possess a unique technology that can continuously generate health and wealth, a technology unparalleled in this era.

It's the true art of alchemy!

As for wealth, he didn't react much.

After all, he had just killed Cheung Po Tsai, and that treasure trove of gold and silver was enough to make him richer than a country!

Even now.

His system storage space was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, so of course he didn't care.

Chen Wen simply followed up on what the Nine Gates Admiral said, saying calmly, "That's why those foreigners invited us to participate in the so-called International Medical Conference."

"Manager Chen is absolutely right!" The Nine Gates Admiral nodded, but then subtly changed the subject, lowering his voice, "Actually, I've also received some information."

"This year's Nobel Prizes—or rather, the medicine from Baozhilin—are highly likely to be awarded the Medicine Prize."

"Moreover, according to reliable sources, the review results have actually leaned towards you, but—the prejudice in the hearts of some foreigners is causing them to drag their feet and refuse to announce it."

"The Nobel Prize?!" Wong Fei-hung was genuinely stunned this time.

He remembered the strange name.

The foreign captain had specifically mentioned this award in order to win over Chen Wen, knowing that it was the highest honor in the Western academic world.

Its significance and influence far surpass those of ordinary gold and silver.

Unexpectedly, their medicine has come to this!

The Nine Gates Admiral was also incredibly shocked. Not only him, but none of the civil and military officials in the court had expected this.

It's incredible that such a great medical expert has emerged in our country.

That's why he immediately sent someone to invite Chen Wen and Huang Feihong after receiving their news.

If Chen Wen really wins the award, it will be a tremendous honor!

The central government is paying close attention to this matter!

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen scoffed, "Why should the foreigners drag their feet? I never wanted it in the first place!"

"If there were a 'Hua Tuo Award' or a 'Bian Que Award,' I, Chen Wen, would definitely strive to win them!"

"But the Nobel Prize? Those foreigners look down on us, I don't even want it!"

Wong Fei-hung was stunned, but quickly nodded.

"Alright! Since Brother Chen says no, then we won't take it!"

"We only want our own prize!"

Upon hearing Chen Wen's words, Nalan Yuanshu, the Commander of the Nine Gates, was suddenly shaken.

He had sensed something was off earlier. Chen Wen looked much younger than Huang Feihong, so he naturally assumed that Huang Feihong was the leader.

However, after some observation...

He suddenly noticed that Wong Fei-hung's attitude towards Chen Wen was polite but clearly respectful, and even subtly showed that he was the one in charge.

This is by no means an ordinary friendship or business partnership.

Who could possibly make Wong Fei-hung, a man renowned throughout Guangdong and Guangxi and known for his pride and arrogance, treat him this way?

He suddenly remembered some unfounded rumors.

Po Chi Lam is the ancestral business of the Wong family, and Wong Fei-hung is indeed its brand name.

But the one who truly controls the Baozhilin pharmaceutical factory is Chen Wen!

Even worse, there are rumors circulating privately.

Chen Wen was the true lead researcher behind those groundbreaking new drug formulas!

Huang Feihong was just a second-in-command.

Nalan Yuanshu initially didn't believe it, thinking it was an exaggeration, but now he saw the two of them with his own eyes.

I instantly realized that the rumor was probably not unfounded.

Chen Wen, who could earn the respect and admiration of someone like Wong Fei-hung, must possess extraordinary talent!

I realized this was the key point.

Nalan Yuanshu's gaze toward Chen Wen changed dramatically, now filled with a mixture of enthusiasm and scrutiny.

He slammed his hand on the table excitedly and exclaimed, "Excellent! Manager Chen is right! Nobel Prize? That's foreign stuff, we don't care about it!"

"If we're going to have an award, it has to be one of our own! A Hua Tuo Award! A Bian Que Award!"

"I will certainly petition the court and inform His Majesty that this highest award for Chinese medicine will be established specifically for you!"

"Come on, let's drink to Manager Chen's insightful observation!"

Chen Wen raised his glass, a suitable expression of gratitude on his face: "Then thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Nalan!"

The three of them drank another full cup.

Nalan Yuanshu felt delighted, thinking that Chen Wen was not only capable but also had integrity, neither fawning on foreigners nor arrogant, which was truly rare.

He remarked with emotion, "To be honest, Manager Chen, before we first met, I thought it was just a business transaction, fulfilling the instructions from above."

"But after this conversation, I realized that Manager Chen is such a loyal and righteous man, with his heart set on China and not blindly following foreign trends. He is truly admirable!"

Chen Wen put down his wine glass, his expression becoming extremely solemn, even carrying an undeniable resolve: "My heart for China is as clear as day!"

"I am willing to sacrifice my life and shed my blood to wipe out all enemies who trample on the dignity of China and harm my compatriots!"

These words were spoken with unwavering conviction and boundless confidence.

Nalan Yuanshu was deeply moved and his blood boiled. He patted Chen Wen on the shoulder forcefully and exclaimed, "Good! Good brother! Just for those words!"

"Although we have just met today, we are as close as brothers! If Manager Chen does not mind, let us call each other brothers!"

"What 'adult' and 'commoner' talk? That's too formal! Brother Chen!"

Chen Wen also excitedly grasped Nalan Yuanshu's hand: "Brother Nalan!"

"Alright! Let's drink some more!"

The two drank another cup, their atmosphere as warm as that of longtime friends.

Huang Feihong, standing next to him, was completely stunned, holding a wine glass.

It felt like sitting in front of a stage watching an absurd play.

Chen Wen was indeed loyal and courageous, willing to sacrifice his life for China.

That's absolutely true.

What about Nalan Yuanshu?

Judging from his excited appearance, he undoubtedly considers himself a loyal subject who is devoted to the emperor, loves his country, and protects the Qing Dynasty.

The problem is—they were talking about China.

There isn't a single one at all!

These two are actually mortal enemies!

Moreover, the first enemy that Chen Wen keeps saying he wants to kill is probably you, Nalan Yuanshu!
