Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Lin Zhenjiang sized Xu Hao up and down, a hint of displeasure rising in his heart. This young man looked so ordinary, yet so confident? Had he even set his sights on his precious daughter?

Although my Xiaoya is... (it's all that damn short-lived bastard's fault!), she's not someone just any cat or dog can covet! Judging from your appearance, you're probably a gigolo who lives off women, aren't you?

He sat down at the tea table, pondering how to better understand the young man. He asked about Xu Hao's family background, and although Xu Hao's answers were adequate, Lin Zhenjiang felt something was missing, and he seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Hao.

Did you work at Zhongtian International? Did you change jobs? Didn't you used to sell cars?

Although the company is a good one, Xiaoya rejected the senior management of Zhongtian International, and then turned around and found a regular employee who had just joined the same company? Isn't that being fooled?

Besides, Zhongtian International... I've heard that place is quite something. My old comrade-in-arms is a high-ranking official there, and I've heard he has official connections, but Old Zheng won't reveal a single secret to me.

“Xiao Xu,” Lin Zhenjiang began, his tone hesitant. Girls are outgoing, and he couldn't afford to embarrass this young man too much. If she developed a rebellious streak, it would be difficult to handle. Last time he forced Lin Ya to go on a blind date, the father and daughter didn't speak for a long time. She was their only precious daughter; this wouldn't do!

"I always hear Xiaoya mention you." He thought to himself, his daughter Xiaoya had been well protected since she was a child, and she hadn't seen much of the dangers of the world.

"I heard you two are together, so I came to meet you today." He sighed slightly, feeling a little helpless, but more so worried about his daughter's future.

"As for your matter," Lin Zhenjiang continued, "you know, Xiaoya has been spoiled since she was a child. Everything she eats and uses is the best." He knew in his heart that his requirements might be a bit harsh. How many years would it take for a young person, an orphan, to reach his standards on his own without relying on his family?

Surely I can't be the one to help out, can I? Am I supposed to be involved in targeted poverty alleviation here?

But as a father, he hoped his daughter could continue to live a carefree life. He looked at Xu Hao, his heart filled with conflict. "You... I don't mean anything by it, it's just that as a father, I always want my child to have a better life, and I hope you can understand."

Sigh, let's probe a bit. If they're just poor but their character is decent, then I'll accept it. I have so much property; a little bit more would be enough to help them. But this premarital property issue absolutely needs to be clarified!

While Lin Zhenjiang was imagining a dramatic scene of a live-in son-in-law, Xu Hao also felt a headache coming on. He sat down at the tea table, slightly adjusted his posture, and thought to himself: This old gentleman probably thinks I'm a gigolo.

How can I smoothly demonstrate that I am a person of status and position without appearing too ostentatious?

I need help urgently... I'm waiting online.

Xu Hao smiled slightly, already having made up his mind.

He gently placed the briefcase on his lap and slowly opened it. His fingers wandered inside for a moment before finally taking out an exquisite sandalwood box. The box was carved with intricate patterns and emitted a faint woody fragrance, giving it an antique and elegant appearance.

He carefully placed the box on the table, gently pushed it towards Lin Zhenjiang, and said in a calm but confident tone, "Uncle Lin, this is the Rejuvenating and Vitality-Preserving Pill that I made after many years of research, combining a secret formula I obtained by chance with modern technology, and with a lot of effort. It has a remarkable effect on improving the physical condition of the elderly."

Lin Zhenjiang frowned slightly, looking down at the box before him, his heart filled with disdain. He snorted, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Little Xu, you young man, you're quite the storyteller. There are plenty of these so-called elixirs on the market these days, are they really as miraculous as you make them out to be?"

Having been in this business for so many years, I've seen it all. You think you can fool me with just a story? Wait, this guy's not exactly a reliable person!

A serendipitous discovery of a secret formula? Modernized technology? Isn't this just like the fake medicine sold on TV shopping channels? Is the next step to break an agreement made by our ancestors?

We have to separate him and Xiaoya no matter what!

Xu Hao remained calm and maintained his polite smile: "Uncle Lin, I know you may have some doubts, but this pill is indeed the culmination of my years of hard work. I dare not say that it can cure all diseases, but it does have a certain effect on conditioning the body and delaying aging."

Lin Zhenjiang remained unconvinced, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, alright, with my old arms and legs, I'm not expecting any magic pills. Young people should be more down-to-earth and not be blinded by these illusory things."

Don't say anything more. I'm only keeping quiet for Xiaoya's sake. But believe me, I can get a famous doctor to expose you with just one phone call.

Seeing this, Xu Hao felt a little helpless, but he didn't say anything more. He knew that completely changing Lin Zhenjiang's opinion would probably not be something that could be done in a short time.

At this moment, Lin Ya couldn't sit still any longer. She knew Xu Hao's abilities all too well. Of all the branches of the Bureau of Mystery Management across the country, who didn't know the rumor of the "Medicine God" at the ZZ branch? For Xu Hao to personally concoct medicine for her father was an immense favor!

However, Lin Ya knew that the bureau had its own rules, and she couldn't tell Lin Zhenjiang these things openly. She secretly glanced at her father and saw that he had a slight frown, clearly disbelieving Xu Hao's words. She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

She thought of her father's health condition again. He seemed healthy on the surface, but he had been suffering from hidden illnesses for a long time. Lin Ya felt a pang of sadness. If Xu Hao's medical skills could cure her father's illness, it would not only improve her father's health, but also greatly change Xu Hao's image in Lin Zhenjiang's eyes.

Seeing that Lin Zhenjiang still looked unconvinced, Lin Ya became anxious and quickly added, "Dad, Xu Hao's medicine is indeed very effective. I've personally seen many people in our bureau... company use it and say it's good. Why don't you give it a try? There's nothing to lose anyway."

Lin Zhenjiang frowned, clearly still skeptical of his daughter's explanation. He looked at Lin Ya with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Your company?"

Lin Ya nodded slightly, trying to make her tone sound natural: "Yes, I also work at Zhongtian International. Didn't I tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenjiang's expression changed slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of reproach: "You haven't called me for half a month. If I hadn't repeatedly asked to see this kid, I'm afraid I might not even see you again even if I die!"

Then, Lin Zhenjiang gave a self-deprecating laugh, perhaps talking to himself, or perhaps saying it to Xu Hao: "Hey, I'm a pretty bad father. My daughter and her boyfriend both work at the same unit as my old comrade-in-arms, and I had no idea."

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Hao.
