523: Chapter 524 Traveling on a Business Trip with Song Xiaoru
Xiang Te and Ellington, these two fellows, truly resembled a pair of diligent and studious elentary school students at this mont.
Their serious attitude was so comndable that even Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but admire them.
Their achievents were indeed tied to their earnestness.
Perhaps many people lack such a dedicated attitude toward learning and the effort it demands.
These days, Song Xiaodong had been producing dicines whose effects were completely unknown, and he would directly consu them himself.
This surely scared the daylights out of Xiang Te and Ellington.
The first ti Ellington saw Song Xiaodong swallow the finished dicine, he anxiously said, “Mr.
Song, you are testing new drugs on yourself, that’s too dangerous.
I suggest we should first try it on animals and then conduct clinical trials.”
Xiang Te also said with a grim expression, “Mr.
Song, since the dicine is experintal and its effects are unknown, what you are doing is extrely dangerous.”
Song Xiaodong, however, could see their sincerity and just smiled, saying, “It’s fine, you guys continue with your work, I’ll go test the dicinal properties.” Then he entered the private room inside.
Ellington, pale-faced, said, “Vice President He, this is really too risky; you must persuade him.
Having seen the ingredients in this dicine, so of them are highly toxic—how can he just consu them like that?”
He Wenbai chuckled and said, “At the beginning, I was the sa as you, but do you know we have a very famous figure in China nad Shennong?”
“Who is Shennong?” The two of them instantly beca curious.
He Wenbai explained, “Shennong is our ancestor.
He saw humanity suffering from diseases, so he tasted all sorts of herbs to personally experience their dicinal properties and created many thods to alleviate human ailnts.”
“There was such a person?
So, Mr.
Song is like Shennong?” Xiang Te couldn’t help but be filled with longing admiration.
He Wenbai’s eyes brimd with reverence as he responded, “More or less.”
This made Ellington and Xiang Te’s admiration for Song Xiaodong soar to new heights, but still, Ellington couldn’t help expressing his concern, “But what if he gets poisoned?”
He Wenbai smiled lightly, “Mr.
Song is certainly aware of this.
With his dical skill, he can handle the situation, so you need not worry.”
“I see, this really is an incredibly magical affair.
eting a remarkable person like Mr.
Song is the greatest gain from our trip to China.”
“Indeed, indeed, I can say he is the most miraculous person I have ever t in my life.
Traditional Chinese dicine is so incredible, it’s beyond imagination.”
Song Xiaodong had been tasting dicines these few days.
He was no Shennong, but he did possess a certain level of drug tolerance.
Moreover, he could ensure his own safety.
And these dications, he couldn’t possibly let others try them, as the true effects wouldn’t be accurately experienced.
The substances Song Xiaodong developed over the last few days, after trying them himself, seed to have weak dicinal effects and even strong toxicity.
If it were not for him, those who took the dicines would probably have ended up in the ergency room right away.
However, after several days of testing, Song Xiaodong also sowhat understood the problems.
The ginseng, polygonum multiflorum, and Lingzhi he used were not aged enough, which weakened their ability to neutralize the poisons, allowing the toxicity to prevail.
Only after reducing the proportion of the most toxic ingredients did he manage to produce a non-toxic dicine today.
Feeling no toxicity, Song Xiaodong carefully experienced the dicine’s properties, indeed sensing a faint trace of energy from within, though so weak that it was barely perceptible without focused attention.
But the presence of even a slight trace bolstered Song Xiaodong’s confidence imnsely.
At the very least, it proved the thod was right.
With sufficiently aged ingredients for those three items, perhaps he could significantly enhance the dicine’s efficacy.
As for now, this dicine was of no use to ordinary people, and even for a Kung Fu master like Song Xiaodong, who had a real sense of energy, the effect was too minuscule to be considered.
So unless he could find high-quality herbs, the research was akin to a useless delicacy.
It all depended on whether he could find those three dicinal ingredients.
On Friday, Song Xiaodong received a call from the Fang Family in Provincial City.
They had found a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng.
Overjoyed, Song Xiaodong knew that such mountain ginseng was now a rare find for him.
Song Xiaodong imdiately said he would personally go to collect it.
He didn’t even dare to let them deliver it.
If anything went wrong, he knew he would be regretting it deeply.
Just as Song Xiaodong hung up the phone, Song Xiaoru called him.
Song Xiaoru promptly said, “Dongzi, I’m going to Provincial City for a eting.
I won’t be at ho this weekend.”
Song Xiaodong imdiately replied, “You’re going to Provincial City?
That’s perfect, I’m heading there too.
I can drive you.”
“That’s great.
When are you leaving?”
“I’m setting off right now.
How about you?”
“Then co to pick
up at ho.
I just need to grab a couple of clothes.”
An hour later, Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru left ho together, heading for Provincial City.
Seeing Song Xiaodong’s impatient deanor and the speedy drive, Song Xiaoru asked, “Dongzi, did sothing happen to make you in such a rush?”
“I’m going to pick up so dicine.
Hehe, it doesn’t really matter if it’s a bit early or late, I’m just a little anxious,” he replied.
Song Xiaoru imdiately said, “Then slow down a bit, you’re speeding a lot.”
As Song Xiaodong chatted with Song Xiaoru, he beca less hasty.
In two hours, Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru arrived at a hotel.
“How many rooms would you like to book?” the receptionist asked Song Xiaodong.
“Just one,” Song Xiaodong casually replied.
Song Xiaoru’s face suddenly flushed, she opened her mouth as if to speak but then said nothing.
After they checked into the room, Song Xiaoru put down her things and gave Song Xiaodong a reproachful look, saying, “Why did you book just one room?”
“What’s the problem with one room?” Song Xiaodong was taken aback and then, noticing Song Xiaoru’s coy expression, felt a stirring inside him, but quickly dismissed his inappropriate thoughts, hurriedly saying, “Sis, we might not end up staying at the hotel tonight, I booked one room for you for now.”
“Oh, you gave
a fright,” said Song Xiaoru, relieved, but inside she felt an unexpected twinge of disappointnt.
Song Xiaodong caught the fleeting look of loss in Song Xiaoru’s eyes.
He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, grinning, “However, you never know, I might just run over and stay with you tonight.”
Song Xiaoru glared at Song Xiaodong, “Hmph, you can’t do that.
Either book your own room or don’t co at all.” Yet, deep down, a sense of anticipation and excitent suddenly surged within her.
