"Du Fei, you're here. Have a seat. My master is seeing a patient."
Hu Weiguo quickly greeted Du Fei as he arrived at Renxin Hall.
He then led Du Fei to the large hall next door.
Wang Qiyang was sitting on a chair, feeling the pulse of a middle-aged man.
Although Wang Qiyang was old and had handed over Renxin Hall to Hu Weiguo,
Renxin Hall was founded by Wang Qiyang himself. He would often appear here, and coupled with his restless nature, he would see patients daily if he wasn't busy with other matters.
After finishing the pulse diagnosis, Wang Qiyang looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Have you been feeling dry eyes recently, along with dizziness, hot soles of your feet, and night sweats?"
"Yes, yes, yes, old sir, you're absolutely right. What is wrong with me?"
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, every symptom Wang Qiyang mentioned applied to him.
Wang Qiyang said, "You have an overabundance of liver fire and excessive liver yang. I'll prescribe you some cassia seed, wild chrysanthemum, and dandelion to regulate it. As for medication, take a Gui Long Hui Pill for healing and you should be fine."
Afterward, Wang Qiyang had the middle-aged man get his medicine from Hu Weiguo and then he smiled and walked over to greet Du Fei.
"Du Fei, I haven't seen you in a while. Coincidentally, I've hit a bottleneck in acupuncture recently, so you'll have to guide me a bit later."
Wang Qiyang led Du Fei directly to the backyard.
Du Fei said, "Old Wang, you're too kind. We're just discussing things mutually."
As they spoke, they arrived at the backyard.
As soon as they sat down, Du Fei spoke, "By the way, Old Wang, how is the batch of medicinal herbs I asked you to collect for me coming along?"
This was actually Du Fei's main reason for visiting Wang Qiyang.
Since entering the Xiantian realm, his cultivation had resumed its normal growth.
However, Du Fei knew very well that the Xiantian realm was different from the Foundation Establishment realm. If he followed the usual path and only relied on daily meditation, it would take at least twenty years to reach the Grandmaster realm, and that would be under perfectly smooth conditions without any obstacles.
Therefore, Du Fei planned to cultivate while also refining some pills that could accelerate his cultivation speed.
As the medicinal ingredients required for refining pills were in large quantities, Du Fei had entrusted Wang Qiyang to help him.
Wang Qiyang said, "I've collected most of the herbs, but Aster and Golden Needle Grass are a bit tricky."
Upon hearing that Aster and Golden Needle Grass were tricky, Du Fei immediately frowned.
Aster and Golden Needle Grass were the most crucial ingredients for the Qi Gathering Pills he intended to refine. Without these two herbs, the Qi Gathering Pills could not be made.
Moreover, since Du Fei intended to refine a large number of Qi Gathering Pills, and this was his first time refining them, there would inevitably be some losses. Thus, he needed a sufficient quantity of these two herbs.
"Old Wang, is there a problem with money? If so, please don't worry, I have..."
Du Fei thought it was a monetary issue. He had treated several patients recently and earned tens of millions in consultation fees.
The most important thing for him now was to refine the Qi Gathering Pills. As for money, he could earn more if he spent it.
"It's not a matter of money, but when I was collecting the herbs, a pharmaceutical company appeared out of nowhere and bought all the Aster and Golden Needle Grass in Rongcheng."
Wang Qiyang was somewhat annoyed that he couldn't fulfill Du Fei's request.
But there was nothing he could do. The herbs had been bought by someone else, and he could only watch helplessly.
"What is the name of the pharmaceutical company that bought these two herbs?"
Since the herbs had been bought, Du Fei had to find another way.
He could at least offer a higher price and buy them from them.
Although it would definitely cost more money, money was just an external possession for Du Fei.
As long as his cultivation kept increasing, earning money would not be a difficult task.
"That company is called Tiankun Group."
Du Fei nodded, filing the name away in his mind.
...
"Sister Juan? There's no need for such trouble, I'll come over to find you later. Okay, see you soon."
The person making the call was Ye Huijuan. She had said on the phone that she hadn't seen Du Fei in a while and wanted to invite him out for a meal.
She had initially offered to drive and pick Du Fei up, but Du Fei said it wasn't necessary.
After finishing his business at the TCM clinic, Du Fei headed straight to the hotel where Ye Huijuan and Su Hao were staying.
"Sister Juan, I'm downstairs at the hotel."
Since Ye Huijuan had told him to notify her when he arrived, Du Fei called her from downstairs.
Ye Huijuan on the other end of the line told Du Fei to wait downstairs and that she and Su Hao would be down shortly.
After hanging up the phone, Du Fei sat down in the hotel lobby's lounge area.
"Shishi, when you meet Mr. Gu later, you must say a few nice words. Whether the company can get through this crisis depends entirely on Mr. Gu."
Liu Yuanhao, Liu Shishi's second uncle, said with a tense expression.
Liu Shishi snorted, "What's the use of me saying a few nice words, second uncle? Would they be willing to lend us twenty million for working capital just because of my few words? Business is like a battlefield, second uncle, aren't you being too naive!"
Looking at her second uncle, Liu Yuanhao, Liu Shishi felt a surge of anger.
Earlier, she thought that her grandfather, Liu Zhengnan, would see through her second uncle's true colors through his illness.
Who would have thought that less than half a month later, her second uncle came to Liu Zhengnan crying, saying that he had made mistakes before and would turn over a new leaf from now on, listen to him, and strive to develop the company.
Liu Zhengnan scolded his second uncle a few times without much conviction and then let him return to the company.
After being obedient for about a month, this guy started messing around again.
He somehow heard that investing in virtual currency was profitable and tricked Liu Zhengnan into buying a large amount.
Who knows which wire in Liu Zhengnan's brain got crossed, but he actually believed Liu Yuanhao and invested a considerable sum.
In the beginning, the virtual currency investment performed exceptionally well, and Liu Yuanhao walked as if he was looking down on everyone.
He even patted his chest in front of Liu Zhengnan, saying he would make Liu's Group one of the top ten private listed companies in Rongcheng, and in the future, it would be among the top five hundred in China.
Seeing Liu Yuanhao's ambition, Liu Zhengnan felt very comforted.
Liu Shishi cautiously suggested selling some of the virtual currency while its momentum was good to supplement the company's cash flow.
Otherwise, if the virtual currency encountered problems, the company would face a broken capital chain.
Unexpectedly, her words were regarded as malicious by Liu Yuanhao.
Then, Liu Yuanhao mocked Liu Shishi in front of Liu Zhengnan, while Liu Zhengnan said nothing, which greatly disappointed Liu Shishi.
A few days later, the bad news arrived.
The virtual currency invested in by Liu's Group saw its market value plummet by nearly fifty percent. All the company's money was locked up and could not be withdrawn.
Liu Yuanhao was stunned on the spot, and Liu Zhengnan was so enraged that he was hospitalized again.
