"Xu Ying?"
"What a nice name!"
"You're too kind with your concerns!"
"Since we'll be working together from now on, let's just do our best to make this pharmacy a success!"
"Besides, I really like your personality!"
"We treat normal customers with courtesy!"
"But if we encounter any hooligans or scoundrels, don't bother being polite, just kick them out!"
"This is a medical hall, not a sanctuary for saints!"
"If anyone has a problem, tell them to come find me directly!"
Looking at the pretty and lively young girl before him, Zhou Xuan chuckled and slowly released his clasped hands.
Although the girl's delicate hands felt quite comfortable to hold, Zhou Xuan would not do anything as annoying as gripping someone's hand and refusing to let go!
"This is excellent!"
"Since you've both met, I don't need to make any further introductions!"
"May I ask when Your Excellency plans to open?"
Seeing that Zhou Xuan and Xu Ying had made peace, Yuan Qingshan, standing nearby, was very pleased.
He immediately spoke up to inquire about Zhou Xuan's opening date.
"Why wait for a good day when we have today!"
"Since the inspection is completed today!"
"Once the sign is ready, we can officially open for business tomorrow!"
"Great!"
"Then Your Excellency, now that the pharmacy is about to open!"
"What about that pill you mentioned earlier..."
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word, as I've already promised you!"
"These are some of the herbs needed for refining the pill. Go and gather them for me!"
"By the time the medical hall opens tomorrow, not a single pill will be missing!"
Seeing Yuan Qingshan's hesitant look, Zhou Xuan knew exactly what he wanted to say.
Without any further ado, he directly took out a prepared list of medicinal herbs from his pocket and handed it to him.
Yuan Qingshan took the list and saw that the palm-sized paper was densely filled with hundreds of precious medicinal ingredients.
Upon seeing some unfamiliar herb names, Yuan Qingshan was secretly surprised!
Although his Treasure Medicine Pavilion was reputed to house all the precious medicinal herbs in the world, presenting so many at once made him hesitate slightly.
If he hadn't been aware of Zhou Xuan's formidable strength, he might have suspected that this person was trying to trick him out of medicinal herbs!
"What's wrong, Pavilion Master Yuan?"
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing Yuan Qingshan frozen in place after receiving the list, Zhou Xuan gently inquired.
"Ah!"
"It's nothing, I was just lost in thought!"
"I will immediately instruct my people to prepare the medicinal herbs for Your Excellency!"
"Please wait here for a moment!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's question, Yuan Qingshan, who had been standing still, snapped back to reality and quickly responded.
At the same time, he silently thought, "You can't catch a tiger without entering the mountains!"
"Once I have the pills, any loss can be recovered!"
With this realization, Yuan Qingshan felt less pained.
He handed the list of herbs to several shop assistants and instructed them to search for the ingredients at the nearby counters.
"Heh heh, Your Excellency, I have some matters to attend to in my backyard!"
"Please get to know Miss Xu Ying better, as you will be partners from now on!"
"When the staff have gathered the herbs, they will be delivered to you!"
"I won't stay any longer!"
After the shop assistants hurried off to find the herbs, only the three of them remained in the hall.
Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Yuan Qingshan's eyes darted around.
He immediately smiled and excused himself.
Without waiting for a reaction from Zhou Xuan and Xu Ying, he quickly slipped away from the hall.
"That fellow!"
"What's so urgent?"
"Will I be this busy when I become the boss?"
"Don't worry, boss!"
"From now on, you'll just be responsible for treating patients and counting money!"
"Leave everything else to me, I'll handle it for you!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's muttering, Xu Ying, standing beside him, leaned forward with a smile and said to Zhou Xuan.
"You're not old, but you talk quite big!"
"Alright then, boss, I'll count on you to handle things for me from now on!"
"Don't disappoint me!"
Looking at the girl's charmingly innocent expression, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Although they had only met recently, Zhou Xuan had already developed a good impression of this young girl.
Of course, this good impression was not of a romantic nature!
"Hmph, who's not old!"
"I'm not young, I'm already an adult!"
"Besides, boss, you don't look much older than me!"
"Why are you acting so mature and seasoned!"
As the girl spoke, she did not forget to push her two large mounds of chest forward.
It was unclear whether she was referring to her age or something else when she said "not young."
"Cough cough!"
"Alright, you're not young!"
"They should have prepared the herbs by now. I'll be heading home first!"
"See you tomorrow at the opening!"
Seeing that the girl had already presented her grand arguments, Zhou Xuan felt overwhelmed.
He hadn't expected this seemingly innocent and cute young girl to have such a bold side.
Casually responding to her a couple of times, Zhou Xuan quickly walked up to the shop assistants, took the packaged herbs, and made a swift escape from Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
"Hehe, this boss is quite interesting!"
"It wasn't a waste for my cheap old dad to send me here!"
"I'll have fun during this time!"
Watching Zhou Xuan's retreating back, Xu Ying's face revealed a smile of triumphant cunning.
Then, humming a tune, she slowly left Treasure Medicine Pavilion!
"Young girls nowadays are really not to be trifled with!"
"Not only are they so stunningly beautiful, but they are also so bold!"
"I really feel like I'm getting old!"
Having escaped Treasure Medicine Pavilion, Zhou Xuan immediately hailed a taxi and headed for the Lu family's residence.
The two large bags of medicinal herbs in his hands were also conveniently stored in his Void Ring during his escape.
Otherwise, if passersby saw him carrying such large bags of rare medicinal herbs,
They would likely think he had robbed a herbal shop and call the police!
The taxi sped along, and in a blink of an eye, Zhou Xuan had returned to the Lu family.
Just as he was paying the fare and preparing to head straight to his room to refine the pills, he suddenly noticed at the entrance of the Lu family.
Lu Ling'er was standing there, quietly waiting for him.
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
"Are you waiting for your husband again?"
"I've told you, the weather is getting cold now, you need to wear more clothes!"
"If you catch a cold, I'll be heartbroken!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan walked directly forward and ruffled Lu Ling'er's small head.
Just as he was about to pull Lu Ling'er into his embrace for a more intimate moment.
Lu Ling'er sniffed the air lightly with her small nose, and then her expression instantly turned grim!
"Hmph, speak!"
"Who is that woman?"
