Love That Extends Life

Chapter 120 Obtaining Polygonum Multiflorum and Giant Clam

The sweat on Murong De's forehead had just faded away, but unexpectedly, beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead again. He was secretly glad that he had not competed with Chu Tianrui for the precious hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, otherwise it might have brought very serious consequences.

"Luckily I stopped in time and didn't continue bidding with him, otherwise I would have suffered the consequences." Murong De muttered to himself as he hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his forehead.

Murong De, who has been working in the business world for many years, knows that if he wants to gain a foothold in this commercial building, he must have a flexible mind. Many times, it is as difficult as surviving in a narrow gap, so he must be extra cautious in doing things, because the slightest mistake may lead to the destruction of his family.

Especially in an auction, if you encounter a powerful person like Chu Tianrui participating in the bidding, most people will be deterred and dare not easily compete with him. It's not because they can't afford a higher price, but because they really can't afford to provoke such an opponent. After all, in the business world, knowing how to survive is the most important thing.

At this time, Murong Xue did not notice the embarrassed expression of her father Murong De. After she saw Chu Tianrui, she unconsciously looked at Chu Yunhao again. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Wu Yanzi never thought that her sister Du Xiaoxiao, who had a good relationship with her, would appear at such a wealthy and powerful table. The other party offered 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. It seemed that she had underestimated Du Xiaoxiao's family conditions. When Du Xiaoxiao said she would help her find a job, she just listened. Now she thought that Du Xiaoxiao definitely had the ability to do so.

The last 50th item to be auctioned was a century-old ginseng, with a bid of 20.

After the bidding for the Centennial Ginseng began, everyone in the venue looked towards the guest seat at table No. 42, but they found that the four people at the guest seat at table No. 42 had already stood up and left.

Leaving the guest seats means not participating in the auction. Everyone knows that Chu Tianrui will not participate in the bidding for the hundred-year-old ginseng, so they all breathed a sigh of relief and started bidding.

The century-old ginseng was finally bought by the guest at table No. 85 at a sky-high price of 1 yuan, and the auction of Chinese medicinal materials came to an end.

After the auction is over, successful bidders need to go to the auction office to complete the bidding procedures and then take away the auction items.

Before the old shopkeeper Li Baolin and the old dean Zhang Benchu ​​could leave their seats at the table, they were surrounded by people who came to greet them.

When the old shopkeeper Li Baolin saw that he could not get away in a short time, he whispered a few words in his granddaughter Li Wan'er's ear, and Li Wan'er took Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi away from the venue.

Li Wan'er had to go to the auction office to handle bidding matters, so Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi were arranged to wait in the lounge.

Li Wan'er went to the office. After she reported the number of the guest who reserved the table and the other party confirmed that she was the young manager of Baicaotang, Li Wan'er was invited to a room.

In a room on the second floor of the hotel, a man was sitting on the sofa waiting.

After Li Wan'er entered the room on the second floor, she found that the person in the room looked familiar. She soon remembered that this person was the guest sitting at table 42 at the auction, and was the person sitting next to Chu Tianrui, the president of Tianrui Group.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Li Wan'er knew at a glance that the other party had something to talk to her about, so she asked straight to the point.

The old man looked at Li Wan'er and smiled politely. "Haha! Let me introduce myself first. I am Xu Bin, the old housekeeper of the Chu family in Nanshi. Well, you are Li Wan'er, the young shopkeeper of Baicaotang, right!"

"Yes, I am Li Wan'er from Baicaotang." After the other party confirmed her identity, Li Wan'er admitted it.

"Well, that's good. Old Shopkeeper Li is a busy man. Since you are the young shopkeeper of Baicaotang, I have something to tell you." The old housekeeper Xu Bin pointed to the sofa in the room and said, "Come on, Young Shopkeeper Li Wan'er, sit down and talk."

Li Wan'er sat down without any hesitation, then looked at the old housekeeper Xu Bin and said, "Uncle Xu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm all ears."

"Young Shopkeeper Li Wan'er, I know your grandfather and we have some friendship. Not long ago, your grandfather and I had a private agreement that the Chu family of Nanshi would help you with some special and precious medicinal materials that your Baicaotang needs. Therefore, at the auction of Chinese medicinal materials, the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and Giant Clam auctioned by the Chu family of Nanshi will be given to your Baicaotang free of charge. As for the specific reason, your grandfather knows it. Well, now the auction procedures for the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and Giant Clam have been completed, and I have arranged for someone to send them to Baicaotang. Okay, this is what I want to talk to you about."

Li Wan'er didn't quite understand, but she didn't need to understand. As long as her grandfather knew the reason, she just had to be a good messenger.

"Uncle Xu, I understand. Well, I'll go back then!"

The old butler Xu Bin nodded without saying anything else, and leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.

Li Wan'er left the room on the second floor and went to the lounge on the first floor. After seeing Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi, she told him about the conversation she had with Xu Bin, the old housekeeper of the Chu family in Nanshi.

"Sister Li Wan'er, this is a great thing." After Chu Yunhao heard what Li Wan'er said, he just smiled and praised.

Li Wan'er was a little confused, but she still smiled faintly. "Haha, I really didn't expect that the Chu family of Nanshi would help Baicaotang bid for the two precious medicinal materials, 100-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and Giant clam. Anyway, I don't care about these. As long as we can get 100-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and Giant clam, we have completed the task of purchasing precious medicinal materials for Baicaotang. As for other things, maybe these are the relationship and cooperation between my grandfather and the Chu family of Nanshi, so we don't need to care so much."

"Well, all in all, our trip to the Chinese medicinal materials auction was not in vain. Now the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and Giant Clams have been sent back to Baicaotang, and we have nothing to do. It's pretty good." Chu Yunhao was in a good mood, so he talked more.

"By the way, Brother Chu, Sister Wu, please take a seat first. I still have some auction formalities to deal with. I'm going to go and take care of the auction matters."

"Well, just do your thing!"

Li Wan'er left the lounge, while Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi still had to wait for Dean Zhang Benchu. The three of them came together, and they couldn't leave Dean Zhang Benchu ​​behind, so the two of them left first.

"Sister Yan Zi, now I finally have all the herbs I need."

"Haha, Brother Chu, it seems that you are really lucky! As long as you have these precious medicinal herbs to regulate and consolidate your body, your body will recover soon.

Good Chinese medicinal materials have good medicinal properties, and when these good Chinese medicinal materials are prepared by good Chinese medicine, they can become good Chinese medicine.

"Sister Yan Zi, I am really happy to think that I will no longer be troubled by hidden illnesses in my body."

At this moment, Chu Yunhao really wanted to jump up to celebrate, but he just bounced on the sofa and then sat down again.
