Due to the events of the morning, the teachers from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department did not go to school in the afternoon. Gu Yuanbai and Liao Wenhua were also discussing how to provide a satisfactory explanation to Ruan Xingwen.
Meanwhile, Ruan Xingwen, at Southern Hospital, saw her daughter’s cardiac examination results, which showed no major issues. Therefore, Ruan Xingwen personally called Huang Yangzhou, the homeroom teacher for her daughter’s class, class three, and decided not to pursue the school’s problems further. However, this was partly because Wan Yunting had promised to treat her daughter. Of course, Ye Zhaohui would be expelled, as he did not possess the qualities and character of a qualified teacher.
So, Wan Yunting spent the afternoon in the TCM department. After preparing the lower-grade medicated ointment at the pharmacy, he sent a WeChat message to Fang Yanxi, asking if she was at the company, intending to deliver it personally and also to understand the current situation of Fang Group. After all, the last time he asked Jiang Wenhao to rescue Fang Group from its predicament, their financial dealings were now linked with Jiang Wenhao. At the same time, in the commercial center of Huadu, within the hundreds-of-stories commercial building, Jiang Wenhao had directly booked the top fifty floors as the headquarters of Chaoting Group.
At Fang Group, Fang Yanxi, dressed in an OL suit, stood at the entrance on the first floor with her secretary, Lin Xiaoqi. "Who is coming to the company that the General Manager herself has to come down to greet?" "I don't know, I haven't heard about any important executives visiting the company..." Inside the lobby, many employees pointed at Fang Yanxi at the entrance, discussing in hushed tones, wondering who could possibly have such status to warrant the General Manager personally coming down to greet them.
Then, a silver Toyota sedan arrived at the entrance. It was Wan Yunting. Fang Yanxi immediately went down to meet him, which made the employees inside even more curious. Why was the General Manager going down to greet someone driving a mere ten-thousand-dollar car? Wan Yunting got out of the car with a small bag. Fang Yanxi walked up to him, "You're here." "Mm." Wan Yunting smiled and nodded at her. Fang Yanxi gestured, "Come up for a while." "Alright." Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, walking alongside Fang Yanxi into the company and towards the elevator...
"My goodness, who is that person?" "I don't know, he looks quite ordinary, not like some big shot." "But he looks so familiar, and our General Manager’s attitude towards him seems very different!" "The General Manager even smiled; this is the first time I’ve seen her smile." The employees in the lobby watched Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi enter the elevator, and they immediately erupted in a flurry of gossip. Someone seemed to have realized something, "I know who he is!" "Who...?" "It's that Wan Yunting who has been appearing in the news lately!" "Oh my, no wonder he looks familiar, so it's him..."
At this point, the gossiping employees exclaimed. Someone said, "I heard that the General Manager and he were boyfriend and girlfriend back in university, so it’s no wonder the General Manager treats him differently. It seems our General Manager still likes him..." "Big news, big news..." In an instant, the news of Wan Yunting's visit to the company spread like wildfire among all the employees of Fang Group.
"Come in." Fang Yanxi pushed open her office door, and Wan Yunting nodded as he entered. Fang Yanxi led him into the reception area, "Make yourself comfortable." "Alright." Wan Yunting didn’t stand on ceremony and sat on the sofa. Fang Yanxi followed and sat down, "What would you like to drink?" "Just plain water," Wan Yunting said with a smile. Fang Yanxi immediately asked Lin Xiaoqi to get some water. Wan Yunting then opened the bag he was carrying and took out a bottle filled with a dark gray ointment. "This is the ointment I've re-formulated, removing several precious medicinal ingredients. Therefore, this ointment does not have scar-removing properties, only beautifying effects."
Fang Yanxi examined the ointment and nodded, "How much are the material costs for a bottle like this?" "This bottle contains five hundred milliliters, and the raw material cost is around one hundred and fifty yuan," Wan Yunting said. "That much!" Fang Yanxi exclaimed in surprise. Wan Yunting pointed to the bottle of ointment in her hand, "One of the ingredients is wild dendrobium, and there's also a small amount of pearl powder. These are very expensive ingredients, so there's nothing that can be done." Fang Yanxi nodded, looking at the ointment in her hand, "Can the costs be controlled?"
"They cannot be controlled!" Wan Yunting shook his head. After all, the best medicinal ingredients are used to achieve the best beautifying effect. If the costs were controlled, only inferior ingredients could be used, and naturally, the desired beautifying effect would not be achieved. "Furthermore, wild dendrobium is very rare nowadays. If we were to truly produce it, we would definitely need a large amount of medicinal materials. Therefore, for wild dendrobium, we would have to use cultivated dendrobium that mimics wild growth. However, its medicinal efficacy will certainly not be comparable to purely wild dendrobium, so the beautifying effect might be compromised!" Wan Yunting said. Fang Yanxi raised an eyebrow, not expecting the primary issue to be the medicinal ingredients!
"This is the business card of a medicinal farmer from Anhui Huoshan who cultivates dendrobium mimicking wild growth." As he spoke, Wan Yunting took out the business card previously given to him by He Liren and said to Fang Yanxi, "I haven't seen the medicinal efficacy of dendrobium that mimics wild growth to what extent it can be used in beauty ointments. I need to go and see for myself to know." Fang Yanxi took the business card and nodded, "That's good. After all, medicinal ingredients are the primary key issue." Wan Yunting nodded and asked, "When are you free? Let's go and take a look together." "I'm free anytime." Hearing that the man wanted her to go too, Fang Yanxi felt a little delighted. Wan Yunting thought for a moment and said, "I have some things to do recently. Let's wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival and find a time when we're both free to go and see." "Alright, I have no problem with that," Fang Yanxi nodded.
"Mr. Wan, your water..." Lin Xiaoqi placed the prepared water in front of Wan Yunting. He nodded and said thank you, picked up the cup and took a sip. He then asked Fang Yanxi, "How is your company doing now? Has it resumed normal operations?" "Yes, it has resumed," Fang Yanxi nodded and briefly explained some of the current internal situation of Fang Group to Wan Yunting. Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqi, standing beside them, could tell how much Fang Yanxi trusted Wan Yunting to share such information with him...
They chatted for about an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, Wan Yunting stood up, "I still need to go back to the hospital, so I'll be leaving now." "Mm, I'll see you out..." Fang Yanxi stood up and took him to the elevator. After they descended, she asked, "Are you going to the exchange gala hosted by the Huadu Chamber of Commerce tonight?" Wan Yunting turned to look at her and smiled, "I'm not in business, what would I do there?" Fang Yanxi nodded and asked, "Have you truly never considered starting a company or getting into the finance industry?" Wan Yunting smiled and said, "I have thought about it, but I'm quite fond of Traditional Chinese Medicine now, and I'm also a teacher at Xingyao Primary School. I don't have time to think about it at all. Perhaps I'll consider it when I have more time in the future." "Alright." Hearing his response, Fang Yanxi didn't say anything further. As the elevator doors opened, she saw Wan Yunting out and watched his car disappear from sight before turning to head back to her office. She then noticed that the employees coming and going in the lobby were all looking at her with strange expressions...
"Are you guys that idle?" Fang Yanxi resumed her usual cool and aloof demeanor of a female CEO at the company, which scared the employees into shaking their heads and quickly leaving... Fang Yanxi couldn't be bothered with them, knowing that these employees, when not busy, would spread all sorts of gossip in the company.
