Chapter 285 The Wu Family's Assets
Wu Tao's work didn't change much, but he made more and more connections.
His medical skills need no further proof, and the patients he cured are extremely grateful to Wu Tao.
In business, several of Wu Tao's childhood friends from his hometown of Wujiazhuang, under his guidance and with his investment, also registered various companies.
Some went into the clothing trade, some into the electronics trade, some opened restaurants, and some went into real estate.
The four childhood friends later developed their businesses, all of which became listed companies, and Sun Jiayi's name was among the major individual shareholders of each of these companies.
Wu Tao not only took out the original two million yuan in cash from his personal space, but also exchanged it for two thousand gold bars.
Supporting his four childhood friends not only helped them achieve financial freedom and career success, but also created billions of assets for the Wu family.
The four childhood friends had long admired Wu Tao's business acumen and vision.
While it may seem that the four of them were the ones blazing trails ahead, in reality, they had a large amount of financial support from Wu Tao behind them.
Furthermore, whenever I encounter difficulties in my career, it is Wu Tao who offers advice and solutions. Crucially, when connections are needed, it is also Wu Tao who helps me resolve the issues.
In short, the bond between the five of them has truly stood the test of time.
Perhaps it was Wu Tao's generosity and trust that prevented them from engaging in power struggles after becoming wealthy.
Wu Tao enjoyed his life to the fullest, even though he wasn't actually that honest behind the scenes.
As Wu Tao's wife, Sun Jiayi naturally couldn't have been completely unaware.
However, she chose to turn a blind eye, since all of Wu Tao's assets were in her name.
Furthermore, Wu Tao's extraordinary physique caused Sun Jiayi considerable suffering, and it was only out of helplessness that Sun Jiayi took the initiative to facilitate Wu Tao's departure.
Sun Jiayi has no way to confide in anyone in her situation. Should she tell others that she can't handle it?
She also talked to people at school and her close friends. Knowing that others weren't like this, she could only lament that Wu Tao's constitution was truly abnormal.
She couldn't satisfy him, but she also couldn't let Wu Tao feel stifled every day. So, Sun Jiayi subtly suggested to Wu Tao that he could order takeout from outside.
Wu Tao readily agreed; he had done it on purpose. The effect of bringing something up yourself versus having the other person bring it up is definitely different.
Being able to stay at home obediently for three years is already his limit, especially in this era. Otherwise, Wu Tao really wouldn't mind never getting married in his life.
Many stories naturally take place in the Shen family's home.
Let's start with Shenyang. He never reached the ministerial level in his entire life, and even in retirement, he only enjoyed the treatment of a vice minister.
Shen Yuchu's older brother, Shen Changshan, was too calculating, which eventually led to his job loss and three years in prison.
The second brother, Shen Changhe, had a relatively stable life, but he only reached the deputy director level before retiring.
Shen Yuchu's younger sister married well; her husband later became a billionaire through business and had a smooth and successful life with many children and grandchildren.
Shen Yuchu herself had a very difficult life, perhaps because of the annulment of her engagement. It seemed that all the good luck in her life was completely exhausted when she got into university.
After graduating from university, she was assigned to the district education bureau, and her boyfriend was assigned to the district government secretariat.
Both of them could have had a good future if they had worked hard and had each other's backgrounds.
As a result, not long after Shen Yuchu and her boyfriend got married, people found out about her past scandal of breaking off her engagement with Wu Tao.
Or perhaps these things weren't secrets to begin with, but Wu Tao hadn't told anyone else before.
However, even though Wu Tao didn't say anything, some people with ulterior motives definitely wanted to do something to curry favor with him.
As mentioned earlier, Wu Tao's medical skills are so good that many leaders have benefited from his saving lives.
These people naturally didn't want to owe favors forever, but the problem was that Wu Tao wasn't an official, and his wife didn't have any desire to become one either.
Their family life is quite good; they live in a large courtyard house, and the several businesses they've invested in are thriving.
At this point, some people brought up the fact that Wu Tao had been jilted by Shen Yuchu.
Wow! It seems the second generation has found a breakthrough.
Since Shen Yuchu dared to break off her engagement with Wu Tao after getting into university, isn't she a typical modern-day Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife)?
They were willing to do something to repay Wu Tao's favor.
These things may still not be enough to repay Wu Tao's kindness, but for them, it is not a difficult thing in itself.
Besides, it's not just their elderly family members who need Wu Tao; they themselves will also grow old in the future. Having a doctor as a friend would make anyone feel safe and secure.
There's a saying that goes, "It's best to have two friends by your side to navigate life safely: a lawyer and a doctor."
For the second generation, a lawyer's role is less important than a phone call from themselves, so they don't need one.
It's natural to have many doctors as friends, especially those with legendary healers, who are among their favorite companions.
Even the most powerful emperor like Qin Shi Huang feared birth, aging, sickness, and death.
They couldn't find a solution for dying of old age, but dying of illness was clearly not what they wanted.
In particular, Wu Tao once performed acupuncture on an old man who was already on his deathbed, and later prepared several doses of medicine for him, which allowed the man to live for another two years.
Even though the family kept this matter a secret at the time, since no one wanted others to know the family's secrets.
Moreover, the reason why Wu Tao was willing to help this old man was because his eldest son-in-law was Sun Zhen's benefactor.
Honestly, Wu Tao has never revealed too many of his secrets to others over the years.
This means that he was indeed good to his brother-in-law, and Wu Tao also knew that he needed to have two or three real trump cards, which is why he helped the other party extend his life by two years.
Wu Tao's intervention not only saved the elderly man, but also made the family realize that his medical skills far exceeded their expectations.
As I said before, at their level, being able to live a healthy life is far more precious than anything else.
This family treats Wu Tao like a god, so they certainly won't expose his secret.
They also knew that Wu Tao's actions would come at a price, because he was weak all over after the acupuncture and even coughed up blood.
Of course, none of them knew it was chicken blood. Wu Tao was also afraid that people would ask him to extend their lives all the time.
Doing these things can increase his standing in the eyes of others, but it won't make everyone easily seek him out for life extension.
In reality, this method relies entirely on some precious drugs to stimulate the body's potential.
After being reborn, Wu Tao went to the capital and sold one hundred gold bricks, which allowed him to obtain a lot of precious ginseng and astragalus through pharmacies and the black market.
His personal space was already filled with rare medicinal herbs, which he had never used, only intending to use them occasionally to perform miracles in the mortal world.
Everyone else thought he was just administering acupuncture, but in reality, he had already used his personal space to infuse the other person with the juice of some rare medicinal herbs.
With these rare medicinal herbs entering the body, and then through acupuncture, the body's potential can be stimulated again.
As for how long it can last, it depends on the amount of medicine and the individual's condition.
Unfortunately, even though the family never told anyone about this, it was impossible to hide it from the many people who had been monitoring or observing them.
