In the beginning, the state did not have enough funding to attract so many elites from the medical world to the Medic Association Hospital. However, to further expand the Medic Association Hospital, Shi Maocheng took out the Shi family’s money and threw it at people.
After that, the number of elites in the hospital increased. With nearly all of the national elites in the medicine world headed to the hospital, the country had no choice but to respect them.
Later on, after the Medic Association Hospital conducted a lot of successful research, many well-known foreign enterprises approached them to try to purchase the medicine developed by the Medic Association Hospital. This allowed the Medic Association Hospital and the country to reap a huge profit.
The Medic Association Hospital became more and more famous. Eventually, it became a secret unit that specialized in developing top-grade medicine. The hospital director, Shi Maocheng, now reported directly to the president. Thus, their existence became a special unit with special privileges just like Eagle.
Therefore, the Shi family, which had always been ranked at the final place among the Four Dominant Families, became an existence second only to the Nangong family.
Mutations formed in the human body of those test subjects because they were controlled by the bugs in their brains. Therefore, when the president came to the Eagle Combat Headquarters today, he had also brought along people from the Medic Association Hospital.
When he saw the president, Chi Yang gave him a standard military salute. The president reciprocated Chi Yang with a military salute too. Then, an appreciative smile appeared on his face. “You’ve done a good job in Jiang District this time. Once again, you’ve removed a few malignant tumors in our country.”
Chi Yang remained calm and said solemnly, “Thank you for your compliment, Mr. President. Protecting the integrity of the military base and ensuring all of our soldiers’ safety is my job.”
The president looked at Chi Yang, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became. He smiled and said, “It’s a pity that I have a son. Otherwise, I would’ve wanted to keep such an outstanding talent like you in my family!”
“Doesn’t the president know that Lieutenant General Chi already has a fiancée?” Shi Maocheng asked with a chuckle.
The president was taken aback. “Oh? You have a fiancée? Why haven’t I heard Uncle Chi bring up something so serious? When you didn’t have a girlfriend, Uncle Chi always complained about how unlucky his family was to me. Now that you have a fiancée, he’s being shifty about it. Does that mean he doesn’t plan to invite me to the wedding?”
“You must be joking, Mr. President. My fiancée is still young. When we’re finally ready to get married, we’ll definitely inform you and the First Lady, Mr. President.”
“Okay, okay. When the time comes, I’ll be your wedding witness then.” The president happily called dibs on this responsibility.
A rare and nearly undetectable smile crept onto Chi Yang’s usually austere face. “Thank you, Mr. President.”
The reason why the Chi family held such a prestigious status in Camino was not only because Old Master Chi was now the only grand marshal left, but also because Old Master Chi had once rescued the president and his parents. Hence, the president had always maintained a special relationship with Old Master Chi and he would always refer to Old Master Chi as Uncle Chi. No matter how brave the Shi family was, they would at most dare to provoke the Nangong family and constantly test the weight they held in the president’s heart. However, when it came to the Chi family, the Shi family had always intended to rope the Chi family in. In fact, the Shi family had always wanted a daughter from the Shi family to marry into the Chi family.
Therefore, when they found out that Chi Yang had a fiancée, and that the fiancée was the daughter of the Duke of Luntan slash the granddaughter of the Nangong family—a perfect match for Chi Yang—the Shi family realized that they could not lay their hands on the Duke’s daughter. Thus, they could only target their way through the president. Moreover, there would not be a better opportunity than now.
