It turned out that this Boss Wu was not only a real estate magnate but also involved in the pharmaceutical industry. He was one of the shareholders of this "underground medicinal materials auction."
After being reprimanded, the security guard respectfully let them pass.
"Master Sun, please!"
Boss Wu made a respectful gesture. Sun Buzhou had saved his life, and he was a grateful person.
The group entered the Yanzi Garden and found the estate to be truly vast, with numerous rockeries and swimming fish, creating a profound artistic conception.
Led by Boss Wu, they walked forward. Boss Wu asked, "Master Sun, are you here for the auction to see the excitement, or do you wish to purchase some medicinal materials?"
Sun Buzhou stated directly, "Oh, it's like this. I need to procure a batch of medicinal materials, but all the pharmacies have sold out. So, I thought I'd try my luck here."
Subsequently, Sun Buzhou listed the names of several medicinal materials.
As Boss Wu listened, his eyes widened, "Master Sun, you need these same medicinal materials too!"
Sun Buzhou was slightly taken aback, "Little Wu, what do you mean by that?"
Boss Wu chuckled awkwardly and said, "Master Sun, to be frank, as far as I know, the young lady who swept the market for medicinal materials is Miss He Xinyi from the He family in Hong Kong!"
"He Xinyi? Is she the young lady from the He family who often appears in entertainment news?"
Huang Wenlei exclaimed involuntarily.
Boss Wu glanced at Huang Wenlei and nodded, "That's right, it's her!"
The He family of Hong Kong was not like the so-called influential families in Jiaonan, like Huang Wenlei's. They were true influential families, genuinely wealthy, and had been prosperous for more than three generations. Three hundred years ago, they had already become prominent, renowned both domestically and internationally.
At its peak, the He family had ranked in the top fifty of the global rich list. Even now, they comfortably maintained a position within the top one hundred.
In Hong Kong, they were a top-tier wealthy family. In terms of wealth and assets, ordinary rich people simply couldn't compare.
Furthermore, the He family was not only wealthy but also produced many famous individuals and possessed extensive connections. If the head of the He family visited the mainland, the provincial governor would personally receive them.
As for Miss He Xinyi, she had gained fame at a young age, though not for good reasons, but for her scandalous reputation.
She was beautiful and born into immense wealth, often rumored to be involved with popular male celebrities. Although not part of the entertainment industry, her name frequently appeared in the gossip sections.
It was said that several popular young actors were her kept "puppies."
Even Chen Xiao, a straightforward man with no interest in the entertainment industry, had heard of this young lady's notorious reputation.
And at this moment, he showed a very keen interest in He Xinyi.
Of course, his interest was not in her personally, but in her act of clearing out medicinal materials from the market.
Chen Xiao stepped forward, looked at Boss Wu, and asked, "Boss Wu, do you know why Miss He has been sweeping these medicinal materials from the market?"
Boss Wu glanced at Chen Xiao, not daring to show any disrespect.
This was the difference between seasoned individuals like him and young fellows like Huang Wenlei.
Although Master Sun had the greatest reputation, he could tell at a glance that Chen Xiao held a dominant position among them.
He couldn't help but secretly speculate that this young man might be a young master from a prominent family undergoing training, otherwise, why would Master Sun show him such respect?
He said respectfully, "Sir, to be honest, I don't know Miss He's intentions either. I was actually going to ask Master Sun..."
At this point, he stopped speaking, waiting for Master Sun's response, as Master Sun's purpose in buying these medicinal materials might be the same as Miss He's.
Of course, if Master Sun didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to press further.
Sun Buzhou naturally said nothing, as he had no idea himself... Chen Xiao hadn't had the chance to tell him the reason for buying these medicinal materials.
Chen Xiao also said nothing; there was no need.
He simply asked Boss Wu, "Boss Wu, will these medicinal materials be available at today's auction?"
"Heh heh, sir, these medicinal materials are too common. The chances of them appearing at the auction are not high," Boss Wu said, shaking his head. Chen Xiao was greatly disappointed, having come here in vain again!
However, Boss Wu then added, "But if you, sir, are looking for these medicinal materials, I happen to have some stock that I can let you have!"
"Oh? Boss Wu, are you serious?"
Chen Xiao's spirits immediately lifted.
Boss Wu smiled and said proudly, "When Miss He started aggressively clearing these medicinal materials from the market, I also secretly bought a batch. Although I don't know Miss He's intentions, perhaps this is a business opportunity..."
What is a businessman? This is a businessman!
Boss Wu possessed the keen sense of an excellent businessman. However... he was mistaken. Although He Xinyi had cleared out the medicinal materials from the market, this was not a business opportunity.
Moreover, Boss Wu realized the peculiarity of the situation and immediately decided to give his stock of medicinal materials to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao clearly was a significant figure. Earning the favor of such a person could bring him immense profit!
With the medicinal materials sorted out, Chen Xiao was in a great mood and intended to go directly to refine pills. Boss Wu, however, persuaded them, "Everyone, the auction is about to begin. Since you've all come, why not go in and take a look? If there are any medicinal materials you need, it won't be a wasted trip!"
Chen Xiao thought it made sense and nodded, "Alright, then let's go and see the auction."
Huang Wenlei noticed that Chen Xiao was subtly becoming the center of attention, and a hint of jealousy flickered in his eyes.
This made him very unhappy. Master Sun was one thing, but how could this young doctor steal his thunder!
Led by Boss Wu, they wound their way through several turns and arrived at a quaint courtyard.
The auction had not yet started, but many people were already waiting in the courtyard. These individuals were all exceptionally well-dressed and possessed distinguished demeanors, clearly indicating they were wealthy individuals or medicinal material merchants.
"Eh? Isn't that Master Sun!"
"Good day, Master Sun!"
"Master Sun, your presence here truly graces this place!"
As Chen Xiao and the others stepped into the courtyard, some recognized Sun Buzhou and immediately gathered around, greeting him enthusiastically.
For those who didn't recognize Sun Buzhou, others nearby would enthusiastically introduce him as one of the three national medical masters in China, Master Sun!
Seeing Sun Buzhou so popular, Chen Xiao was content to be at ease.
Meanwhile, Huang Wenlei was quite pleased, as many people also greeted him. Chen Xiao and his companions were left in the cold, which greatly improved his mood.
Just then, a group of people walked into the courtyard, led by a woman of unparalleled beauty!
