As Du Fei was taking out his key to open the door, he heard laughter from inside his house.
He opened the door and entered, only to find that besides his mother and sister, Gongcheng Bin was also there.
"Why are you at my place?"
Du Fei changed his shoes, entered the house, and looked at Gongcheng Bin with surprise.
This guy had actually come to his house, and judging by their interaction, he seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation with his mother and sister.
"Du Fei, we are good friends. You have such an expression when a good friend visits. You're breaking my heart."
Gongcheng Bin pretended to cover his chest, putting on a sad expression.
Wu Chunmei said, "Du Fei, you too. It's Xiao Gong's first time visiting, and you're interrogating him like a criminal."
"Brother, look! This is the tablet computer Bin Ge bought for me. It will be much more convenient for my studies from now on."
Du Yunyun proudly showed Du Fei her brand new tablet computer.
At the same time, Du Fei noticed a gift box beside his mother.
It seemed that Gongcheng Bin had successfully won over his mother and sister with these gifts, which was quite skillful.
Du Fei gave Gongcheng Bin a thumbs-up, and Gongcheng Bin winked back at him.
After a while, his mother and sister left.
They knew that Gongcheng Bin had come to see Du Fei, so they left them some space to talk.
"Young Master Gong, you never come without a reason. This time you even came to my house. Tell me, what's up?"
After his mother and sister left, Du Fei didn't bother being polite with Gongcheng Bin and asked directly.
Gongcheng Bin put on a sad look again, "Du Fei, we're good friends. You saying this makes me feel so hurt."
"Alright, alright, stop acting. I won't fall for your tricks."
Du Fei wasn't fooled by Gongcheng Bin's clumsy acting.
Besides, Du Fei knew Gongcheng Bin too well and understood his character.
"Heh heh, then I'll be straight. Didn't you say you were going to treat President Su? It's been a few days, when can you spare some time to go?"
As expected, Gongcheng Bin had come with a purpose.
Du Fei said, "President Su's condition is both simple and complex."
"My dear brother, just say what you need to say. As long as you can cure President Su, I'll go through fire and water without batting an eye if you say the word!"
Gongcheng Bin would say anything to achieve his goals.
Du Fei smiled, "Alright, you said it yourself. To thoroughly cure President Su's illness, we still need a He Shou Wu."
"He Shou Wu? Aren't there plenty of those in pharmacies? Not just one, even a hundred won't be a problem."
Gongcheng Bin felt it was too simple after hearing Du Fei's words.
Du Fei shook his head, "The He Shou Wu I'm talking about needs to be at least a hundred years old."
"This, is there such a thing?"
Gongcheng Bin wasn't very knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine.
However, when Du Fei mentioned a hundred-year-old one, his first thought was that it wouldn't be easy to find.
Furthermore, if it were easy to find, Du Fei would have already obtained it.
"You can let me pay or find connections, but I have no experience with medicinal herbs. Du Fei, what should we do now?"
Gongcheng Bin scratched his head, feeling that the matter was a bit difficult.
Du Fei patted his shoulder, "Didn't you just say you'd go through fire and water without batting an eye? Why are you scratching your head now?"
Gongcheng Bin smiled sheepishly, realizing he had oversold himself earlier.
"Alright, I already spoke to Old Wang. He said he would help me keep an eye out. Since you're so eager, let's go see Old Wang tomorrow."
Fortunately, Du Fei didn't let Gongcheng Bin feel awkward for too long and revealed that he had already asked someone to look for the herb.
...
The next day, Gongcheng Bin arrived at Du Fei's house early in the morning.
After breakfast, he couldn't wait to drag Du Fei to Renxin Hall.
"Old Wang."
Upon arriving at Renxin Hall, Du Fei took Gongcheng Bin to find Wang Qiyang.
Wang Qiyang was very happy to see Du Fei.
This was not only because he regarded Du Fei as the future of TCM revival, but also because Du Fei had single-handedly changed his granddaughter's perspective. She, who had studied Western medicine since childhood and looked down on TCM, no longer tried to persuade him to go abroad and was even willing to stay and help at Du Fei's TCM clinic.
Because of this, Wang Qiyang treated Du Fei like a lifelong friend.
"Old Wang, I'm here to ask if there's any news about the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu I asked you to find."
After a few pleasantries, Du Fei got straight to the point.
Wang Qiyang laughed heartily, "Du Fei, it's quite a coincidence. Just two days after you called me, I received word that someone was selling a rare hundred-year-old He Shou Wu. I managed to secure it without failing in my task."
"Mr. Wang, this has really troubled you. But rest assured, I will cover all the expenses for the He Shou Wu you purchased. Additionally, I will pay you an extra ten percent as a fee for your assistance."
Gongcheng Bin, standing beside them, was so ecstatic to hear that the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu had been found that he almost jumped for joy.
With the He Shou Wu secured, it meant Du Fei could treat President Su, and his project would then be a sure thing. This was wonderful news.
"No, no, no. I initially thought Du Fei needed it for himself. I didn't expect it to be for someone else. The price is the price, and there's no need to add anything."
Du Fei briefly explained the reason for needing the He Shou Wu.
Wang Qiyang purely wanted to help Du Fei and was not trying to make money.
Moreover, given their relationship, he wouldn't act that way.
"Thank you, Old Wang."
"Old Wang, thank you so much for this."
Du Fei and Gongcheng Bin both expressed their gratitude to Wang Qiyang.
With the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu in hand, Gongcheng Bin's thoughts began to race.
Du Fei guessed what he was thinking and told Old Wang that he had other things to do. Old Wang didn't insist on keeping him and personally saw him to the entrance of Renxin Hall.
"Du Fei, I just called President Su. They asked me to ask you where the treatment will be arranged."
As soon as Gongcheng Bin left Renxin Hall, he eagerly called Su Hao.
Su Hao was also very excited to receive Gongcheng Bin's call. For the past few days, he and his wife had done nothing but set aside all their time, fearing they might disrupt Du Fei's treatment.
After all, nothing was more important to him than getting cured.
"Let's do it at my TCM clinic. I've already prepared the other herbs needed for President Su's treatment."
After Du Fei finished speaking, Gongcheng Bin immediately called Su Hao again and informed him of the location of Du Fei's TCM clinic.
