Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Nine
Several girls were actually more interested in Chun Tao.
After all, n and won are different. n need family background, money, and talent as their capital to enter certain circles, whereas for won, even without an extraordinary family background, exceptional beauty can also be a significant asset.
With Chun Tao’s stunning beauty,
even if her origins were sowhat humble, she had every right to enter their circle.
Long Xiaoshan had sat in the dormitory for a while before he got up and said, "Taozi, you stay here and get used to school life first, I’m going to leave now. I will be in the city these next few days, call if you need anything."
"Little Xiaoshan, are you leaving?" Chun Tao looked reluctant, as if she had been abandoned.
"Yes, study hard," Long Xiaoshan patted her head and instructed.
"Yes, I will."
Chun Tao accompanied Long Xiaoshan all the way downstairs before reluctantly returning to the dormitory.
Yuan Xiaoli watched Chun Tao walk back and shook her head, "Chun Tao, I’m not trying to criticize you, but n should not be indulged. The more you cling to them, the less they care about you. To deal with n, you should give them a mix of stick and carrot. The less they can have you, the more they want you. It’s not good to stick around like you do. With your looks, what kind of boyfriend can’t you find? If you want, I can introduce you to soone."
Chun Tao shook her head hurriedly, frightened, "No, no need, little Xiaoshan is very good."
Su i glared at Yuan Xiaoli, "That’s pure self-interest talking."
"I’m just being direct. Big Sister Su, do you really think Chun Tao and that Long Xiaoshan are suitable? Chun Tao will be a part of our 306 soon. You already have Chairman Wei of the student union courting you; he’s the son of District Chief Wei. As for ngjie, needless to say, there are no less than ten guys chasing her in our school alone; those whose families have assets less than thirty million barely have the nerve to make a move. I can’t compare with you two beauties, but I definitely wouldn’t agree to be soone’s girlfriend if his family doesn’t have a real official post or at least ten million in assets," Yuan Xiaoli said, "Tell , if we have a gathering or liaison, would it be appropriate for Chun Tao to bring her farr boyfriend? ngjie, what do you think?"
ngjie laughed coldly, her eyes showing a hint of disdain.
Su i didn’t say anything else; everyone ca from nonordinary families and naturally understood the importance of social circles.
Chun Tao wanted to join their circle.
So, her boyfriend definitely couldn’t be a farr.
Moreover, with Chun Tao’s beauty, Long Xiaoshan was definitely not her match. After all, in a world where power and wealth are supre, without enough influence, having a girlfriend of devastating beauty is but a beautiful dream, an illusion in a mirror and water, a fleeting shadow in a dream.
Little did Long Xiaoshan know that Yuan Xiaoli and others had already completely written off the future for him and Chun Tao.
At that mont, he was sitting in a Passat, calling Bai Susu.
This ti, bringing Chun Tao out, he also conveniently brought the hundred-year-old ginseng with him.
Having previously promised to extend Patriarch Bai’s life, he certainly wouldn’t break his word.
The call was quickly connected.
A tender voice from Bai Susu ca through, "Little Xiaoshan, is that you?"
"It’s , Auntie Su."
"What’s up? Why are you free to call ? Is there sothing you need?"
"Auntie Su, I’ve found the Hundred-Year-Old dicine; it’s a hundred-year-old ginseng."
"What!" A shocked exclamation ca from the other end of the phone; Bai Susu hadn’t expected that Long Xiaoshan would have found the hundred-year-old dicine just over a week after his departure.
Overwheld with excitent, it took her a while to recover. Still incredulous, Bai Susu asked, "Really? Little Xiaoshan, did you really find the Hundred-Year-Old dicine?"
"Of course, it’s true, Auntie Su. I’m already in Hechuan City. Where are you? I’ll co to you," Long Xiaoshan replied.
"I’m at the company right now."
"Okay, I got it. I’ll be there soon."
Long Xiaoshan hung up the phone and directed Ashui to go to Bai’s dicinal Materials Company.
Twenty minutes or so later, the Passat arrived at Bai’s dicinal Materials. The mont he got out of the car, Long Xiaoshan heard a voice, "little Xiaoshan."
Long Xiaoshan saw Bai Susu already standing at the entrance of the company.
Hurrying towards him.
Long Xiaoshan said to Ashui, "Okay, Ashui, you can go back now, no need for you to drive anymore."
Ashui nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Long."
He drove the Passat away.
At this ti, Bai Susu had walked up to Long Xiaoshan. She was still dressed in a plain cheongsam, her black hair coiled up behind her head, reminiscent of a distinguished young lady from the Republic era, ineffably graceful and poised, full of allure because of her anxiety, she imdiately grabbed Long Xiaoshan’s hand upon approaching and asked, "little Xiaoshan, did you bring the dicine?"
"Auntie Su, don’t worry." Long Xiaoshan said with a slight smile, "Let’s go inside and talk."
Bai Susu realized she had been too impulsive.
A hundred-Year-Old dicine, invaluable in worth, even if Bai’s dicinal Materials exhausted all resources, they couldn’t obtain a single plant.
Such a treasure must not be revealed in public.
She took a deep breath and pulled Long Xiaoshan into the company building.
The employees of Bai’s dicinal Materials watched in amazent as their company’s elegant and unparalleled chairman pulled a man’s hand and hurried by.
In the many years since the company’s establishnt, countless n have sought Bai Susu’s affection, yet she had never been seen close to any man, let alone holding hands.
The chairman’s office.
After Bai Susu pulled Long Xiaoshan in, she closed the door.
Looking at him with anticipation.
Long Xiaoshan understood her feelings and didn’t make her wait. He took off his backpack, opened it, and took out a wooden box, saying, "Auntie Su, take a look."
Bai Susu’s hands trembled slightly as she opened the box. A strong scent of herbs rushed to her nose, making her feel as if her body had lightened sowhat. Inside the box lay a ginseng as thick as a baby’s arm, its deep yellow color pervaded the whole plant, and its roots were half a ter long.
Bai Susu was an expert in dicinal materials.
At first glance at this ginseng, her eyes widened.
No need for machines to authenticate.
Just by slling the scent of the ginseng and assessing its appearance, she could almost be certain that this was undoubtedly top-grade old dicine, and as for its age, it was probably more than a hundred years old.
Next, Bai Susu had soone take a sample of the ginseng flesh for testing.
Long Xiaoshan also wanted to see just what level the potency of the Spirit Ginseng he had cultivated with Spiritual Liquid could reach.
After all, the naked eye is never as accurate as machine analysis.
About ten minutes later, the test results were out.
The Bai’s employee who conducted the test ca over with the report, her face filled with shock as she reported, "Chairman, the potency of this ginseng reached that of a two-hundred-year-old specin."
Bai Susu’s pretty face changed color.
Long Xiaoshan also showed a hint of surprise.
He had only known that dicinal herbs cultivated with Spiritual Liquid had a potency that seed superior to ordinary herbs, but he didn’t expect that a hundred-year-old herb could match the potency of a two-hundred-year-old specin.
It was not as simple as doubling.
The older the dicinal herb, the more precious it becos as it grows.
The price difference between a hundred-year-old dicinal herb and a two-hundred-year-old one is more than just a few tis.
