Chapter 285


    Demi looked delighted at once to hear Matthew’s pledge. “Matthew, I’ve kept what you said in my mind.


    You’d better honor your promise or I won’t let you go easily! Dad, Mom, let’s go!” She let out a loud


    disdainful snort at Matthew before leaving in a buoyant mood.


    Watching as the four of them left, Matthew let out a sigh again. He then headed straight to visit Stanley


    in order to gain some insights from him about the crisis. As Stanley had been running a business in the


    pharmaceutical industry for a very long time, he had a better understanding about the Hughes Family


    than Matthew himself. In fact, Stanley had long been aware of the Hughes’ intention to punish


    Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.


    After Matthew arrived at his ce and informed him of the purpose of his visit, Stanley stated right


    away, “Mr. Larson, there are two ways to solve this. The first solution which is also the most


    straightforward one, you may ask Master Newman for help. Although the Hughes are very powerful, I


    don’t think they have the guts to pay no respect to Master Newman.”


    Matthew shook his head slowly because he had dismissed this solution right from the beginning; he did


    not want to owe too many favors to Billy as he wanted to enjoy equal status with him in their


    rtionship. “What about the second solution?”


    Stanley revealed, “The second option is, you represent Eastshire to participate in the Six Southern


    States Medical Conference and score one of the top three rankings for Eastshire.”


    Matthew frowned and doubted, “Will that work?”


    Stanley sighed and exined, “Mr. Larson, you might not know about this, but Eastshire has always


    been at the bottom of the ranking in the medical conferences for the past few years. Therefore, medical


    products from the rest of the five states can be sold in Eastshire, but those from Eastshire are not very


    marketable in all six states. This situation is very disturbing for the Hughes because their own interests


    are threatened. Over the years, they have been trying hard to seek a famous doctor who can help them


    get a good result in the medical conference. Mr. Larson, if you can help them get what they want, I’m


    sure they will treat you as a very important guest. Then, I guess you won’t have to worry about the


    crisis that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is now facing.”


    A crease formed on Matthew’s forehead. Did that mean that he had to offer help to the Hughes Family?


    To be honest, he did not have a favorable opinion of them and he was unwilling to assist them. “Is there


    no other solution besides this?”


    Stanley shook his head and replied, “Other options will be even more tricky. You can only solve this


    crisis if you are able to persuade one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire to help you. Otherwise,


    there is no one else other than Master Newman in Eastcliff who is capable of making the Hughes


    Matthew went lost in thought because he was really reluctant to help the Hughes. At that juncture, his


    phone rang suddenly; it was Joseph Harrison who was trying to reach him.


    Joseph could hardly contain his joy in his voice when he eximed, “Mr. Larson, I’ve found the


    Thousand-Year Snow Lotus that you are looking for!”


    “Say what?!” Matthew cried out. The Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was the key to save his sister’s life,


    who had been unconscious all this while because his prescription for her was short of that one


    ingredient. “Where did you find it? How much does it cost?” Matthew asked anxiously.


    Joseph responded, “Mr. Larson, it isn’t for sale. I was just told that it’s the prize for the winning state


    whoes first in the Six Southern States Medical Conference!”


    Matthew’s eyes widened in surprise to learn about that. It seemed like he had no choice but to


    participate in the medical conference after all. He nced at Stanley and stated, “It seems like I really


    have to join the conference this time!”


    Stanley was overjoyed to hear that. “Mr. Larson, if you are going to show off your medical skills, I’m


    sure Eastshire will be in the top three of the medical conference this round. By the time it happens, not


    only the medical industry in Eastshire will gain tremendous benefits out of it, but even Cunningham


    Pharmaceuticals will enjoy their share of gains too.”

    “Could you arrange that for me?” Matthew asked.


    Stanley nodded his head right away and agreed, “By all means! Eastcliff has the right to rmend a


    suitable candidate to represent its city, while every other state too is represented by their own


    candidate to take part in the conference. As people from the Hughes areing tonight, I’ll introduce


    you to them. From then on, you will then be able to represent Eastshire in the medical conference!”
