Yan Jinsu was still fuming over the instructions her husband had given her for work, and before she knew it, she ran into him in another city, with a ’little honey’ on a mission?
Heh, Yan Jinsu felt like grabbing a pair of large scissors!
The bidding started at a low price of sixty thousand, and half an hour later, it had already reached eighty thousand. Furthermore, Sha ina’s determined attitude caused the bidders to cluster together in the competition.
By the ti the bid had reached eighty-eight thousand, the number of people left in the screening room was akin to a re handful of kittens, with only three company representatives remaining, including Zhongdan.
Sha ina’s complexion wasn’t looking great either. Although her family was wealthy, the idea of spending a considerable chunk of their fortune on a single dicinal herb pained her heart.
But to her, nothing hurt more than the thought of losing her father.
Without her dad, living the life of a rich young lady in the future would be no more than a fool’s dream. Therefore, she needed to ensure that her dad was alive and well to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.
When she heard Zhongdan shout the bid of ninety thousand directly, Sha ina’s complexion looked even uglier.
At this point, the strongest competition she faced was from this Zhongdan Chinese dicine pharmaceutical company. Having covertly observed Sister Yan sitting next to that constantly bidding woman before, Sha ina was sure that Sister Yan was no ordinary person.
However, anyone coming here was surely doing so for the dicine.
Therefore, even if Sha ina was a fool, she wouldn’t think they were there because of her.
Besides, Sister Yan seed quite supportive of her bold approach towards Brother Scar, even going so far as to help her hold a glass of fruit wine.
It was just a pity that she had wasted the expensive dicine she had gone to great lengths to obtain from the black market - she had only prepared one pack.
She had thought that with this single pack, once Brother Scar was involved with her, his need for any more dicine would be unnecessary given her family background and beauty.
How annoying, and to think she had always been so confident in her figure. That blockheaded man showed absolutely no interest!
However, it was precisely Xie Jingchen’s ’disinterest’ that oddly struck Sha ina’s desire to conquer.
"Ninety thousand for the first ti"
"Ninety thousand for the second ti"
"Ninety thousand three!" No matter how much Sha ina let her thoughts wander, the most important thing on her mind was still the century-old ginseng for her father’s illness, which really couldn’t be delayed any longer.
Ginseng was known for its life-sustaining properties, after all.
Chen Xiufang watched the young woman who suddenly stood up across from her, feeling even less pleased. However, because they were in public, she dared not say much and had been suppressing the anger in her heart all this while.
Ni had a short encounter with Xie Jingchen that lasted less than a minute, and Chen Xiufang happened to see it. Seeing Ni’s deanor, she imdiately knew that the tall man was that bastard Xie Jingchen!
But since even Yan Jinsu wasn’t coming forward to acknowledge him, clearly realizing that Xie Jingchen’s job was no simple matter, what could she, an outsider, possibly do?
Now seeing that this woman had been constantly causing trouble by pushing the price higher, what originally seed like a certain win at one hundred thousand now looked like she could only make overtures to Mr. Fu, the old dicine man.
Thinking of this outco, completely the result of the brainless actions of the woman before her, it was no wonder Chen Xiufang was in a lousy mood!
"Hold on!" Chen Xiufang stood up calmly and spoke assertively to Elder Fu, who was also present at the head table:
"Elder Fu, excuse for speaking out of turn. Our Zhongdan Chinese dicine is willing to offer our Chinese dicine pills to cure your grandson’s illness, ensuring his recovery to health and ability to take care of himself... May I know if Elder Fu is willing to part with it?"
When Elder Fu heard this woman interrupt the bidding process so assertively, his old face darkened. However, when he heard that she was representing Zhongdan Chinese dicine, there was a slight softening in his expression.
After he fully understood her words, he stood up vigorously and blurted out:
"Is that true?"
Seeing the other party’s assertive manner, Chen Xiufang was not intimidated at all; instead, she spoke even louder and more clearly:
"Indeed, it’s true, absolutely certain.
The reputation of our Zhongdan Chinese dicine, as you all should roughly be aware, relies on good prescriptions matched with quality dicinal materials. Our leading pharmacist at Zhongdan Chinese dicine has a prescription that can treat your grandson’s condition.
Unfortunately, despite having the excellent prescription, we are missing one main ingredient, which is exactly the century-old ginseng you are offering today, Elder Fu. Although the finished pills are not yet available, the efficacy described in the prescription cannot deceive.
The effectiveness of the Nine-flavor Chinese dicine Pills sold by our Zhongdan Chinese dicine, I believe, is well known to everyone present here.
Rather than offering re words without proof, I will not elaborate further, Chen will.
As long as Elder Fu is willing to part with it, Zhongdan Chinese dicine is willing to offer fifty thousand, along with the promise of your grandson’s health and safety. May I ask what you think, Elder Fu?"
Given the current state of dical care, even if Elder Fu were to obtain a high selling price, the thought of completely restoring his grandson to health and safety is unrealistic.
Was he going through such extensive efforts to incite a bidding war for money?
In the end, the money would still be spent on treating his grandchild. Otherwise, as an old man with white hair, would he really want to watch his grandson lie in bed like a living dead person for the rest of his life?
No amount of money is worth more than his grandson’s health and safety, as the other party ntioned!
"Good, good, give the dicinal material to Zhongdan, to Zhongdan. As for my misstatent to everyone present, I, an old man without substantial wealth, can only offer a reishi mushroom as compensation to everyone, my apologies!"
Saying this, Elder Fu, moved with emotion, gestured to his assistant to fetch the dicinal materials he had prepared in advance, and then bowed apologetically to everyone around.
This left the other families, who were just about to curse, speechless.
Originally, they were all there to watch the spectacle. After the price went over eighty thousand, the remaining families were just watching Zhongdan Chinese dicine and that young lady compete.
When Sha ina heard Chen Xiufang’s words, her brow first furrowed, but then she quickly realized the crux of the matter—she wanted the dicine that could save her dad, not century-old or millennium-old dicinal materials.
Therefore, after thinking it through, the arrogant expression on her face faded, and she spoke to Chen Xiufang with a smile filled with goodwill:
"Sister Chen really has great style. When we’re back, I’d also like to request a dicine from Zhongdan Chinese dicine, I wonder if that’s possible?"
Seeing that it was this woman, Chen Xiufang felt annoyed inside, but she signaled her nephew Chen Dongzhe with a look, and then responded with a professional smile that didn’t show her teeth:
"Miss Sha ina, if you’re interested in any bespoke dicinal crafting, you can discuss in detail with my Assistant Chen. Fulfilling custor requests is always our sacred duty at Zhongdan. Please excuse ."
After finishing her official remarks, Chen Xiufang was ready to leave with Ni, who was clearly in a not-so-good mood.
"Oh, alright." Sha ina, sensing that this woman had no fondness for her, pretended not to notice and still approached Sister Yan Jinsu, who was next to Sister Chen, with a coquettish smile –
