Shen Wanqian didn’t get angry at Yang Yi’s tone.
Instead, he answered honestly, “Divine Doctor Xu sold it to me!”
“He said my condition could be cured just by taking the Life Grass!”
Qiao Haishan said angrily, “Divine Doctor Xu, do you even know how to practice medicine?
Xiaoyang just said that the Life Grass would have killed Old Shen!”
Xu Renfeng’s expression was incredibly grim.
“My prescription wasn’t wrong.
This brat is just trying to discredit me…”
Qiao Haishan sneered.
“Discredit you?
Xiaoyang isn’t as despicable as you are!”
Shen Wanqian’s face was filled with displeasure.
“Divine Doctor Xu, I spent two hundred million on this Life Grass, and it almost killed me!”
“Don’t you think you owe me an explanation for this!”
Hearing this, Yang Yi asked in surprise, “Mr.
Shen, he sold you the Life Grass for two hundred million?”
Xu Renfeng’s face paled, and he said hurriedly, “Mr.
Shen, I don’t want any money for the Life Grass!
It’s a gift!”
Shen Wanqian ignored him and asked with a dark expression, “That’s right.
Is there a problem?”
Yang Yi said, “He bought it from Su Changli for only one hundred million.
With a simple flip, he made a net profit of one hundred million.
Tsk tsk…”
“What?!”
Shen Wanqian flew into a rage.
A humiliating feeling of being played for a fool rushed to his head.
And to think he’d foolishly believed Xu Renfeng when he said he’d gone to great lengths to get the Life Grass!
He had even offered to pay two hundred and thirty million and felt endlessly grateful to Xu Renfeng!
‘Looking back on it now,’ he thought, ‘wasn’t I just acting like a clown?’
Cold sweat beaded on Xu Renfeng’s forehead, and his whole body trembled.
Qiao Haishan added fuel to the fire.
“I originally thought Xu Renfeng was just incompetent, but I never expected his character to be so treacherous!”
Shen Wanqian’s eyes burned with anger as he stared coldly at Xu Renfeng.
“What a ‘Divine Doctor of Jiangnan Province’!
Xu Renfeng, to think that after all my years navigating the business world, I’d be duped by you!”
“Get the hell out!
From now on, your Jifeng Hall can forget about enjoying any discounts on medicine procurement in Jiangnan Province!”
Sweat poured down Xu Renfeng’s face as he pleaded, “President Shen, we’ve known each other for many years…”
Shen Wanqian sneered.
“Known each other for years, and you scam me out of a hundred million?”
Xu Renfeng’s lips trembled.
Qiao Haishan said coldly, “Are you waiting for us to carry you out?”
Xu Renfeng had nearly killed his wife with his incompetence, and this was a score that definitely had to be settled!
It’s fine if you can’t cure someone, but don’t pretend you can and end up harming them!
Xu Renfeng shot a venomous glare at Yang Yi, then stumbled out of the Shen Family’s villa.
Shen Wanqian said angrily, “Some Divine Doctor.
He’s just a fraud who’s famous for nothing!”
After cursing out Xu Renfeng, he felt even more grateful toward Yang Yi.
“Divine Doctor Yang, you saved my life.
If there’s anything you want, just say the word!
I, Shen Wanqian, will do everything in my power to get it for you!”
Yang Yi shook his head.
“I only came because Uncle Qiao asked me to.”
Qiao Haishan’s face lit up with a smile.
Although he and Shen Wanqian had been good friends for years and didn’t care for formalities…
…Yang Yi’s answer had undoubtedly given him a lot of face in front of his old friend!
Suddenly, his expression turned serious as he scolded, “Youwei, I have to criticize you this time!
Do you have any idea how close you came to a lifetime of regret?!”
Shen Wanqian paused, startled, and quickly asked, “What happened?”
Qiao Haishan then explained how Shen Youwei had sent Yang Yi away.
As soon as Shen Wanqian heard this, he immediately said, “Youwei, apologize to Divine Doctor Yang!”
Shen Youwei didn’t complain much.
After all, she really had been in the wrong this time.
“Divine Doctor Yang, I’m sorry!”
Yang Yi waved his hand.
“I should get back.
I still have medicine brewing at home.
Mr.
Shen, don’t forget to take your prescription.”
“Divine Doctor Yang, I’ll see you out!”
“No need.
I live in the villa complex just across from you.”
Shen Wanqian was a little surprised, but he didn’t want to be rude by asking too many questions, so he walked Yang Yi to the door and watched him leave.
“Old Qiao, does Divine Doctor Yang really live in the villa complex across the street?”
Shen Wanqian was somewhat excited.
Qiao Haishan said, “Mhm.
You know the Su Group, right?
He’s living at Su Changli’s house.”
Shen Wanqian’s expression shifted.
He then said, “The Su Group…
Youwei, don’t we have a new drug that’s about to go into production?”
Shen Youwei replied, “Yes, we do…”
Shen Wanqian smiled.
“Send an invitation to Su Changli for them to attend the business banquet tomorrow night.”
“Also, we won’t be holding a public bid for the new drug’s production.
Just give the contract directly to the Su Group.”
Tomorrow night was the day of Wanqian Group’s annual business gathering for its partners and the executives of its subsidiary companies.
“Okay.”
Naturally, Shen Youwei had no objections.
…
Yang Yi returned to the Su Family’s villa.
A short while later, Lin Gengfang woke up and came downstairs.
She began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Around five-thirty, Su Nanzhi was the first to return.
She didn’t seem to be in high spirits and walked very carefully.
She said to Yang Yi, “You were right.
My legs have been having sporadic, sharp pains all day.”
Yang Yi smiled.
“This is the medicinal soup I brewed for you.
Drink it for a few days, and you’ll be fine.”
Su Nanzhi looked at the pitch-black liquid and felt a little nauseous.
She took a sip, and it was so bitter it made her want to cry.
“If this doesn’t work, I’ll never let you hear the end of it!”
After finishing the drink, Su Nanzhi’s stomach churned, and she managed a weak threat toward Yang Yi.
“I guarantee it will cure what ails you!” Yang Yi said with a confident smile.
A little after six, Su Changli returned.
During dinner, his expression was very grave.
Su Nanzhi asked, “Dad, did something happen?”
Su Changli said in a heavy tone, “Wanling Pharmaceutical Company has developed a new drug for cardiovascular disease and is looking for a contract manufacturer.”
“We want to win that manufacturing contract, but if it comes down to a fair bid, our company’s financial resources can’t compete with others…”
Su Nanzhi said, “You mean there’s another way?”
Su Changli nodded.
“I just heard that Divine Doctor Xu cured President Shen, so I want you to call Hong Juntao.”
“I think if he’s willing, he might be able to pull some strings for us and get us a chance to meet with President Shen.”
Su Nanzhi hesitated for a moment, then said, “We can try, I suppose.
After all, Wanling Pharmaceutical is a subsidiary of Wanqian Group.”
Hearing this, Yang Yi said earnestly, “Uncle Shen, contacting Hong Juntao is useless.
He…”
Su Changli said impatiently, “Shut up!
Is it your place to speak?
Hong Juntao is on good terms with Divine Doctor Xu, so contacting him will definitely work!”
Yang Yi frowned.
“Hong Juntao is a fraud, and Xu Renfeng is no better.
He didn’t even cure…”
SLAP!
Su Changli slammed his chopsticks on the table.
“Haven’t you said enough?
How dare you insult Divine Doctor Xu?”
Lin Gengfang quickly tried to placate him.
“Honey, don’t be angry.
Xiaoyi didn’t mean it…”
Su Changli said coldly, “I think he’s just jealous of Juntao!
That’s why he’s spouting all this nonsense!”
“He’s a genuine Ph.D.
who studied abroad.
What are you, Yang Yi?
What makes you think you can even compare to him?”
“Don’t think you can get a big head just because you got lucky and cured Nanzhi!”
