Chapter 630 The Tang Family Patriarch Seeks Medicine
“Is anyone else bidding?”
Qin Weizhong looked at everyone and smiled, “Good things go to the highest bidder. Feel free to bid, don’t mind my status.”
Though he said this, who could take him seriously?
Many people cursed him inwardly but smiled outwardly, saying nothing, as none wanted to incur his displeasure.
Qin Weizhong said frankly, “It seems no one is bidding? You must consider carefully. Once this opportunity is gone, it’s gone forever. I can guarantee here, in front of everyone, that I will hold no grudges.”
A middle-aged doctor chuckled awkwardly, “The Qin family is immensely wealthy. While we have some assets, they can’t compare to the Qin family. I won’t compete then.”
“I won’t compete either!”
“I won’t compete either…”
The others chimed in their agreement.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll buy it. Brother Chen Xuan, I’ll have someone transfer one million to your account shortly. What about the pill…”
Qin Weizhong was accustomed to being fawned over and wasn’t used to being so humble. His smile was a little stiff as he spoke.
Seeing this, all the wealthy doctors present groaned inwardly.
This wasn’t just a pill; it was a life. To simply give it away like this, though they were unwilling, they were helpless. Who could defy Qin Weizhong’s status?
Chen Xuan, however, shook his head slightly. “President Qin, I’m not selling this pill!”
Qin Weizhong frowned, sizing up Chen Xuan. He said with some frustration, “Brother Chen Xuan, why aren’t you selling? I’ve already prepared to transfer the money to you…”
Upon hearing this, the others became tense.
Although Qin Weizhong had taken the lead, they might still have opportunities in the future. But if Chen Xuan refused to sell, wouldn't that mean they couldn't obtain this miraculous medicine in the future either?
“President Qin, don’t be anxious. I said I’m not selling, because I want to give them to the esteemed members of the Medical Association. Consider it a welcoming gift from me for joining the Medical Association.”
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
“Really?”
Someone’s eyes nearly popped out in surprise.
“Naturally!”
Chen Xuan grinned, “A promise is a promise!”
“Wonderful!”
President Qin revealed a look of immense joy.
“Brother Chen Xuan, you are our brother from now on!”
The other doctors were all beaming with joy, excited as if Chen Xuan were their own brother.
“You are too kind, everyone!”
After speaking, Chen Xuan took out the small jade gourd and first offered a pill to President Qin.
President Qin received the pill with both hands, his eyes fixed on it, shining brightly.
“Esteemed elder, this is your pill.”
Chen Xuan poured out another pill and handed it to another doctor.
“Thank you, Brother Chen Xuan!”
The one receiving the pill was an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, already eighty years old. He held the pill in his hands and thanked Chen Xuan, tears of excitement flowing from his eyes.
This old TCM practitioner was eighty years old, his life nearing its end. With this pill, perhaps he could live a few more years.
“Wow, it smells so good! Brother Chen Xuan, your pills are incredibly fragrant!”
Those who received the pills felt a medicinal fragrance entering their nostrils and exclaimed loudly, further confirming their belief that these were the legendary Ten Thousand Spirit Pills.
The members of the Medical Association held their pills, looking at Chen Xuan with profound gratitude, noting this favor.
Seeing the way the Medical Association members looked at Chen Xuan, Qin Weizhong secretly admired him.
He felt he needed to retract his earlier words. Chen Xuan wasn't ignorant of political maneuvering or how to build relationships. He was clearly well-versed in them, using a single pill to win over the entire Medical Association.
Even Qin Weizhong felt inferior, yet as he stared at the pill, Qin Weizhong wore a thoughtful expression.
While the Medical Association members were all delighted, some were unhappy, namely the wealthy individuals, as Chen Xuan was gifting the pills only to the Medical Association members present, leaving the rich businessmen with none.
“Mr. Chen!”
Chen Xuan was eating when Elder Zhang, biting the bullet, walked over with a middle-aged胖子 (pàngzi - fatty/plump person).
“What is it, Elder Zhang?” Chen Xuan asked.
Elder Zhang seemed somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say. He could only turn to the middle-aged胖子 and say, “You tell him!”
He had recently received a favor from Chen Xuan, with his long-standing lung condition resolved. Now, coming to Chen Xuan for another pill, he felt too embarrassed to speak.
The middle-aged胖子, with a thick skin, bowed and smiled ingratiatingly, “Mr. Chen, I am Tang Yongnian, the patriarch of the Tang family in the provincial capital. I wish to beg a pill from you.”
The Tang family?
Chen Xuan frowned. Could it be the Tang family of Tang Chen?
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, Tang Yongnian assumed Chen Xuan was unwilling. He lowered his head further and hurriedly said, “Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I am willing to offer five million, no, ten million, as compensation, as long as I can obtain one of those Ten Thousand Spirit Pills!”
His Tang family was not short of money; they were short of divine medicine for healing. Let alone five million, even ten million was worth it for him.
Hearing this, Elder Zhang, though not greedy, couldn't help but marvel. Ten million assets, within reach!
“Patriarch Tang? Who is Tang Chen to you?”
Chen Xuan did not answer the question of whether he would give the pill to the Tang family patriarch. Instead, he frowned and retorted.
The surname Tang wasn't common, and the Tang family in the provincial capital was the only one he had heard of. It was precisely for this reason that Chen Xuan asked.
“Indeed! Tang Chen is my biological son, Mr. Chen, do you know him?”
Tang Yongnian was instantly filled with excitement. He thought his useless son, who failed at everything, had surprisingly managed to get to know such an important figure as Chen Xuan. He had finally done something right.
“I know him, and I know him very well!”
Chen Xuan sneered a few times.
Tang Yongnian, with his deep schemes and years of experience in the business world, naturally understood the implication of this laughter. His heart sank, and his expression instantly turned somber. He asked cautiously, “Mr. Chen, how did my son offend you? I will have him apologize to you!”
Chen Xuan said coldly, “Your precious son, without a land deed, occupied my mountain, and had people beat me. Furthermore, your precious son used schemes and tricks to snatch one of my mountain territories. Do you think I know him very well?” wΑp.kanshu伍.net
“Your son is truly a good son…”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yongnian’s face turned green.
Hearing this, Elder Zhang’s face fell, and he became furious. He said, “You, Tang Yongnian, your son dared to scheme against Mr. Chen like this and still has the nerve to ask me for help? Get out!”
Then, he turned to Chen Xuan, “Brother Chen Xuan, I truly didn’t know Tang Yongnian’s son had offended you…”
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, “Elder Zhang, I know you didn’t do it intentionally.”
Tang Yongnian gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Chen, I truly didn’t know he had done such things. It’s all my fault for my poor upbringing. Please rest assured, I will have him apologize to you personally later. As for the mountain territory he swindled from you, I will have him personally give it to you.”
Tang Yongnian harbored deep hatred for Tang Chen. Not only was he good at nothing, but he had also dared to do such a thing!
