Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that Yan Ci had rejected Bai Shuang, all the staff present felt relieved!
Celebrities who were not capable and only knew how to act like big shots had to be treated like this!
Serves you right!
After the farce ended, Yan Ci pulled Lin Yi aside.
“When did you get here?”
“I’ve been here for half a day. I just finished work in the greenhouse.”
“Look at you. Are you ready to leave now?”
“I have something to do in Zhonghai. I have to go back.”
“Alright then. I didn’t think you would be leaving today.”
Lin Yi pinched Yan Ci’s face.
“I have something on today. I’ll visit you when I have time.”
“Tsk, I can’t be bothered with you,” Yan Ci said.
“If there’s nothing else, then leave. I’m busy here, so I won’t send you off.”
“If you run into trouble when recording the show, call me.”
“Got it.” Yan Ci pushed Lin Yi. “Go, go.”
Because he still had something to do, Lin Yi didn’t talk much with Yan Ci and drove back to Zhonghai.
An hour later, Lin Yi drove to Liang Ruoxu’s office.
However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he drove dozens of meters forward to prevent rumors from sprouting.
While waiting for Liang Ruoxu to come down, Lin Yi did not stay idle.
He found a Chinese medicine shop nearby and walked in with his ginseng and lingzhi.
There were quite a number of people in the pharmacy. There was an old Huaxian doctor sitting in the hall for consultation. There were more than twenty people lined up in the waiting area, all waiting to be checked.
Lin Yi had nothing to do, so he listened to the old Huaxian doctor mutter a few words about his illness and nodded.
He was a quack.
“Boss, do you have these herbal medicine boxes for sale?”
Lin Yi didn’t bother to interfere with these unrelated matters.
Traditional Huaxian medicine held a significant advantage. Successfully curing someone required skill, and it was even more challenging than learning Western medicine.
However, it was not easy to accidentally kill someone.
These people who came to see a doctor did not seem to be poor.
Thus, was no need for Lin Yi to bother about this.
“What box?”
The owner of the pharmacy was a middle-aged man in a white coat. He looked up at Lin Yi, not understanding what he meant.
“I need a box to store my ginseng and lingzhi. It has to be more beautiful and exquisite since I plan to offer it as a gift.”
“I have no empty boxes, just these ready-made ones.”
In order to promote his own goods, the shop owner took out a box of ginseng and lingzhi and said,
“Look at this. It’s pure northeast wild ginseng. It’s perfect for brewing wine and medicine.”
“I have something here as well, but I’m missing two boxes, so I came to ask you about this.”
“Huh? You have ginseng and lingzhi? Where did you buy them? I bet you were cheated,” the shop owner said confidently.
“I can guarantee that none of the Huaxian medicine sellers in Zhonghai can compare to me.”
“Don’t talk too much. You might get embarrassed.” Lin Yi smiled.
“Brother, Boss Wang isn’t bragging at all. His good are top-notch. You really won’t be able to find such a good place in Zhonghai.”
The person who spoke sat in the waiting area and said with a smile,
“I came here to seek medical treatment, and I had to make an appointment a week in advance. They only see fifty patients a day. The level of expertise is quite high.”
The physician stroked his beard and looked very pleased.
Lin Yi smiled. “As long as you’re happy.”
“Young man, I don’t have any empty boxes here. If you really want to buy it, go to another shop and ask for it.”
“I also don’t want to bother anymore. I think these two wooden boxes look pretty nice,” Lin Yi said.
“How much is it for the boxes and medicine? I’ll buy it all.”
“You bought them all?”
The shop owner was overjoyed and said with a smile,
“I see that you’re also an open-minded person, so I won’t waste my breath on you. Just give me 3,800 yuan for these two items.”
“Sure.”
Lin Yi knew about Huaxian medicine very well. Just by looking at the color, he could tell that it was artificially cultivated.
The ginseng and lingzhi added up to 800 yuan at most. Including the box, it was barely 1,000 yuan, but he was too lazy to waste time bartering.
After paying, Lin Yi took out the ginseng and lingzhi and carefully placed the ginseng and lingzhi he had grown himself inside.
After all, he had to make it more exquisite since he was giving it as a present.
“Huh?”
Seeing Lin Yi take out the ginseng and lingzhi, the shop owner’s eyes lit up, and his eyeballs almost fell out!
It was obvious from the color that this was good stuff you could only find in the wild!
You couldnt find such a good thing anywhere on the market. Even if you could, it would be priced at a sky-high price of millions. It was not something ordinary people could afford.
But how could he have such a valuable thing?
At the same time, the shop owner felt the gaze of the physician and understood what he was implying.
“Little brother, aren’t you just throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?” The shop owner sighed.
“What happened?”
“You were obviously cheated, and now you are actually buying bought a box to store it. This is too much!”
“Are you saying that my ginseng and lingzhi are fake?”
“It’s not necessarily fake, but if you look at the quality, it’s clearly fumigated with sulfur, and it even has roots. It’s obviously artificially cultivated. I dare to bet that these two things together are worth at most 1000 yuan. They’re not even as good as what I bought.”
“These are wild plants.”
Lin Yi knew the origin of the ginseng and lingzhi very well.
It was brought back by Liang Ruoxu from the Agricultural Research Institute and then nurtured in golden soil. How could it be fake?
Did these idiots think that he was stupid?
“Look, I know that that’s what you think,” the shop owner said.
“These black-hearted merchants nowadays claim that the artificially cultivated ginseng is wild ginseng and sell it at a high price. There aren’t many honest people like me who tells it like it is? You’ve suffered a huge loss.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ve made a huge mistake,” Lin Yi sighed.
“How pitiful.” The shop owner pretended to be sympathetic.
“Young man, I don’t think you’re rich. I can’t bear to see you be cheated. How about this? How much did you spend? I’ll return the original price. After all, my conditions are alright. This way, you won’t lose anything.”
“Are you sure?”
The boss nodded excitedly. “Yes, just treat it as doing a good deed because our family believes in Buddhism.”
“That’s good. 1 spent ten million on these two things. Write me a check.”
Puff!
“What did you say? You spent 10 million!”
“That’s right. That’s the price. Will you still be taking it?”
The price of 10 million shocked everyone in the room.
To them, this was an astronomical figure.
This kid was really stupid and rich!
“You must have been duped!”
The shop owner said, “At most, it’s worth 1,000 yuan. I can barely give you 10,000 yuan to help you be compensated.”
“Of course…”
Creak…
Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, the door of the medicine shop was pushed open.
Liang Ruoxu walked in with her bag on her back.
“What are you doing here?”
