Chapter 226 The Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine Skills
Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan's idea was good; they did not give up on Wu Tao just because he was not capable.
In fact, Liu Lan even gave Wu Tao more pocket money than Wu Xiaochuan did in private.
In her heart, Liu Lan would rather her son be a happy, wealthy man than have him bear the fate of the entire family.
Having experienced the cutthroat world of business, Liu Lan knew that if Wu Tao really tried to seize the inheritance, something terrible would likely happen.
From the parents' perspective, Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan have considered everything very comprehensively.
But from Wu Tao's perspective, he was the one who was most hurt. If it weren't for Wu Xiaochuan, how could he have been wandering outside for so many years?
Now he's back in his parents' home, only to find himself occupied by an adopted son who's been taking over for years. The worst part is, this adopted son is always trying to provoke him, and Wu Tao is no match for his cunning schemes.
Those petty tricks might not really hurt Wu Tao, but for someone who already lacks a sense of security, they are quite serious.
The original owner would instinctively feel that his parents and sister weren't good enough to him. The harm and pain this caused him was something no one could truly understand.
Perhaps Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan, as parents, considered things more comprehensively, but they didn't think from the original owner's perspective.
Wu Xiaochuan knew that his actions would be seen by Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan. He was still inexperienced and dared not do anything to Wu Tao.
But constant use of underhanded tactics can drive a person crazy.
This includes the cold treatment from Wu Lingling, her own sister, and the family's nannies.
Those nannies were very knowledgeable about the infighting in wealthy families. Seeing that Wu Tao, their biological son, had returned, Wu Xiaochuan's status in the family had not changed. Naturally, they knew how to handle the situation.
Besides, Wu Xiaochuan has always behaved very well. To them, a stranger would definitely not be as welcoming as Wu Xiaochuan, whom they know well.
Wu Xiaochuan knew his identity from a young age and had long understood how to please everyone without making a sound.
Wu Xiaochuan would occasionally give these nannies some benefits, and sure enough, his foreshadowing came in very handy today.
Wu Xiaochuan had unknowingly arranged everything in the Wu family, and the original owner's life, being a fool, was bound to be full of hardships.
In the few years since Wu Tao returned to the Wu family, although he has no shortage of money, he seems to be struggling in a cruel cage.
Wu Tao ultimately chose to commit suicide by taking poison because the atmosphere at home was too oppressive; he felt that every day in the Wu family was torture.
The original owner was so extreme that he thought his parents and sister would regret it if he died, so he chose to prove something by dying.
That's how Wu Tao's time travel came about.
After absorbing these memories, Wu Tao couldn't help but chuckle, admitting that wealthy families and ordinary families were indeed different.
Many dramatic things that seem like jokes to ordinary families are actually real in wealthy families.
Take Wu Xiaochuan and Wu Tao as an example. If Wu Xiaochuan wasn't so capable, how could Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan have really valued him?
Conversely, if Wu Tao were exceptionally outstanding, Wu Xiaochuan would probably have been expelled from the Wu family long ago.
Ultimately, it all boils down to prioritizing interests; once you've enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle, you can't afford to be too sentimental.
Wu Tao's mistake was that he still used the mindset of someone from an ordinary family to demand things of his parents, forgetting that his sister favored him.
Logically speaking, if Wu Tao were sensible, Wu Xiaochuan would absolutely not dare to provoke him easily. After all, Wu Xiaochuan is currently in a period of biding his time and is more afraid of unexpected events than anyone else.
Wu Tao insisted on making his parents choose between him and Wu Xiaochuan, which resulted in him being humiliated and ultimately choosing to die to prove his point.
Wu Tao wouldn't do that; he calmly accepted everything. After leaving his bedroom, Wu Tao surveyed the apartment he currently lived in.
The Wu family has a lot of assets and owns many properties. Because they often clashed with Wu Xiaochuan, the original owner of this body eventually moved out and lived in this apartment.
This is my mother Liu Lan's house, a large single-level apartment of over 200 square meters.
One host room, two guest rooms, three bedrooms, plus a study and a gym.
A housekeeper comes to clean the house regularly, and the original owner can also cook; he used to be in charge of cooking at the old Chinese medicine doctor's place.
The original owner studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in college and has just graduated after several years. The original plan was to work at a local Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in the southern part of the city.
In order to compete with Wu Xiaochuan, the original owner chose to use the five million yuan given by his family to start a company.
After three years of operation, the company not only failed to generate profits, but also nearly went bankrupt.
This is also why the original owner chose to commit suicide. After all, his career was not going well, and Wu Xiaochuan was privately mocking him, saying that he was a good-for-nothing.
Wu Tao looked at the 10,000 gold bricks in his personal space. Ever since he learned that his personal space would be restored every time he traveled to a new world, he had never prepared any other supplies, but the 10,000 gold bricks were a must-have.
If it were a typical novel plot, he should now take out those ten thousand gold bars, sell them, and re-enter the business world to achieve a remarkable rebirth from adversity.
However, after thinking about it, Wu Tao still felt it was unnecessary. Having traveled through time several times, he had long since given up his obsession with becoming a billionaire.
Besides, although I didn't bring any other treasures with me when I traveled to the cultivation world, I did retain my traditional Chinese medicine skills.
Anyone who could dedicate themselves to mastering a skill for hundreds of years could probably reach the pinnacle.
Wu Tao lived for tens of thousands of years in the cultivation world, and the identity he used most often when traveling to mortal cities was that of a doctor.
Whether it's pulse diagnosis, acupuncture, or prescription writing, it's no exaggeration to call him a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
This world is not much different from China on Earth. With his superb skills in traditional Chinese medicine, Wu Tao felt that he would definitely shine.
Having traveled through the world multiple times, Wu Tao had long understood that his greatest asset was neither his personal space nor the amount of money he possessed.
On the contrary, his skills are his trump card, allowing him to make endless comebacks.
With special forces skills, fitter's skills, cooking skills, and traditional Chinese medicine, he is guaranteed to succeed in any world or under extreme conditions.
The southern part of the city is very large. As a long-established first-tier city, it has tens of millions of permanent residents and many prominent families.
The Wu family's assets of over a billion yuan are nothing special in Nancheng. Only families with assets of over 10 billion yuan in Nancheng are considered second-rate families.
Families with hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars are considered first-rate families; those with billions or tens of billions are third-rate families.
As for assets of tens of millions, that barely qualifies someone as a wealthy person.
Wu Tao considered it for a long time before deciding to use his skills in traditional Chinese medicine to make a name for himself in this lifetime.
If he were to return to the business world, it might take him many years to rebuild his assets worth hundreds of billions.
The key point is that having hundreds of billions in assets doesn't necessarily mean you can become a tycoon. There are too many hardships to endure along the way. On the contrary, using one's traditional Chinese medicine skills can make one a benefactor to countless tycoons.
While traveling in the cultivation world, Wu Tao had already used his traditional Chinese medicine skills to cure diseases that were incurable for many people.
No matter how much wealth you have, everyone is vulnerable in the face of death.
His current TCM skills are so advanced that they can defy fate and change one's destiny. Even for the most serious terminal illnesses, he can't guarantee a 100% cure, but he can certainly extend the patient's life by a few years.
