In the office, Zhou Xuan asked what had happened earlier.
Qiu Yunhai seemed hesitant, his expression awkward.
He said, "Fu Shan, why don't you explain it? Master Zhou is a master that our Qiu family all knows, he is very powerful, and he is here this time to find medicine."
Fu Shan nervously fidgeted with his hands.
Looking at the hands that were completely inconsistent with his age, Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He calmly took the cigarette handed to him by Qiu Yunhai, tucked it behind his ear, but didn't smoke it.
He also said, "He's just a child, don't scare him."
"Take your time, just think of me as your big brother. If I weren't here, President Qiu would have helped you today, but since I am here, I will help you with whatever happens today."
Fu Shan then revealed a shy smile, his barely visible fangs looking very cute.
Perhaps because he had spent a long time in the medicinal fields, his skin was a bit dark, with the ruddy complexion of someone from the mountains.
Overall, he was a cute young man.
Looking at him, Zhou Xuan seemed to recall the days when he and his master identified herbs on the mountain.
Thus, his smile also became a bit more genuine.
"Go on, how exactly did those old men bully a child like you?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's gentle tone, both Qiu Yunhai and Fu Shan's mouths dropped open in surprise.
Especially Qiu Yunhai, who felt he must be hallucinating.
Because normally, Zhou Xuan never showed a good face to anyone, even at work he was cold and distant.
But today, these words made him feel that perhaps Zhou Xuan was not a dangerous person as his younger brother Qiu Wenlong claimed.
Although he himself had been in the business world for many years and was good at judging people, this time, he had some doubts about what his brother Wenlong had said.
His gaze fell on Fu Shan beside him, only to see infinite admiration in the boy's eyes.
He became even more puzzled, wondering if Fu Shan had already developed admiration for Zhou Xuan so quickly.
"Master Zhou, are you really a very powerful divine doctor?"
Fu Shan asked with wide eyes.
"Haha... I am just a doctor with some medical skills, not a divine doctor."
Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"But Mr. Qiu said you are very powerful. Can you teach me why this Chuyecao turns red?"
"Those experts all say it's due to a lack of soil and fertilizer, and that Chuyecao is lacking nutrients."
Zhou Xuan understood something and asked, "You think you have a different opinion?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me?"
Fu Shan then said shyly, "Before my master passed away, he always taught me that the leaves of Chuyecao change according to the climate of the place where it grows."
"And Chuyecao is mostly used for conditions of qi stagnation. Growing in the north is for retaining qi, growing in the south is for promoting qi. Although the changes between the two are not significant, when mixed with other things in traditional formulas."
"The effect will be drastically different."
When Fu Shan spoke of these medicinal uses, his eyes shone brightly. It was evident that he truly loved this field.
And was diligently researching it.
Zhou Xuan understood.
He said, "So, what is the reason the experts disagree with you?"
"This medicinal field experiment is related to the new drugs that the group is about to launch. Chuyecao is used in it."
"But I believe that the raw materials for procurement cannot be from our medicinal fields. After all, the medicine is for promoting qi, so we need to procure from the northern regions."
"However, the experts insist on using our northern ones. But if this is the case, the Chuyecao from this medicinal field mixed into the medicinal ingredients to form a medicinal liquid will be used for retaining qi."
"Once this medicine is launched, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
Hearing Fu Shan's words, Qiu Yunhai's expression also became serious.
He asked Zhou Xuan, "Master Zhou, with your experience, can you advise me, will Chuyecao really be like this?"
"If that's the case, I need to make those old guys understand that research funding is not that easy to get. If it causes trouble for the group's medicine, I won't spare them."
Zhou Xuan took down the cigarette and played with it in his hand, "President Qiu, of course, if the medicine is wrong, it's even more troublesome if the person taking it has problems."
"Those guys still have shares, so it's not easy for me to stop them. As you can see, if I weren't here, Fu Shan might have been taken away by them today."
"Please, Master, help me with a plan. Later, I will have Fu Shan take you to look around the medicinal fields and the warehouse. If there is anything you need, I will spare no effort to help you find it."
"Fu Shan is very familiar with medicinal materials. If you help me solve these problems, you can also keep him by your side. With him, you will find the medicine much faster."
Fu Shan opened his mouth, but Qiu Yunhai interrupted him.
"You have learned enough in the medicinal fields. Master Zhou is a rare master. If you finish this, follow Master Zhou and learn well. If you want to come back here in the future, come back and visit often."
Since Qiu Yunhai had said so, Zhou Xuan couldn't refuse this favor.
Time waits for no one.
Having a helper would naturally be much better.
He looked at Fu Shan.
Fu Shan quickly promised, "Everyone says I have a dog's nose, even better than a dog's nose. Distinguishing medicinal herbs is completely no problem."
Zhou Xuan laughed heartily, "Good boy, no one has dared to brag in front of me, Zhou Xuan."
"Alright!"
He grasped Fu Shan's shoulder and said to him appreciatively, "I can even take you as my little disciple."
"President Qiu, you wouldn't be reluctant, would you?"
"Not at all. I am taking care of this child at the request of a deceased friend. Coming to the medicinal fields was just for him to play around, who knew this child was so stubborn and offended such a group of experts. He won't be able to stay in the medicinal fields anymore."
Qiu Yunhai said with a smile, "I wish someone would take this brat off my hands!"
Zhou Xuan then smiled and said, "Kid, are you willing to follow me?"
"Yes, but just now..."
Zhou Xuan understood that he wanted to regain his dignity from before.
The humiliation inflicted by those old experts on the child was too much.
Zhou Xuan said lightly, "President Qiu, you should know very well what kind of character these old men have. If they are not shown today that there are always people better than them, I'm afraid Qiu's Pharmaceutical Industry might not be able to make any progress in the future!"
Qiu Yunhai was stunned. He didn't expect this matter to have caused Zhou Xuan dissatisfaction.
He was quite happy to see Zhou Xuan starting to protect his protégé so quickly.
After all, Fu Shan would be able to learn medical skills without any reservations by following him.
Following him, a busy person, not only meant he couldn't take good care of him but also that he suffered grievances.
He was busy with business matters and couldn't attend to everything, and the child was looked after by a nanny.
He said, "Fu Shan, tell Master everything that has happened during this period. Master will definitely be able to solve it for you."
"Mm."
Fu Shan nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "A couple of days ago, I was playing outside and met a few people who blocked me and wanted to take me back."
