Chapter 63 Li Zhongwei
Chapter 63 Li Zhongwei
"Uncle Zeng?!" Fu Bo was surprised. He glanced at Lin Yan. He had told Uncle Zeng earlier that he had something important to discuss and not to come to the private room unless necessary.
He apologized to Xu Ming and Young Master Yu, "Uncle Zeng is not a person who doesn't know his place. I'll go out for a bit."
"Alright! You go ahead and get busy!" Young Master Yu nodded.
"Uncle Zeng, what happened?" Fu Bo asked anxiously, seeing Uncle Zeng's serious expression.
"An old man came in from outside wanting to buy Ganoderma lucidum!"
"Buy Ganoderma lucidum? Just tell him you've already found a buyer." Fu Bo frowned.
Uncle Zeng shook his head. "That's what I said at first, but his identity is special, so I thought I should ask him!"
"What is your identity?" Fu Bo asked in surprise.
…………
And now in the house.
"Miss Lin, where do you live?" Yu Wenjie asked.
“Gezhuang Village”.
"Gezhuang Village? Where are your family members? I'm just curious why they let you come out alone to talk business with people."
“My family is currently building a house, and my parents are quite busy. Besides, they're not very good at this kind of thing.”
Yu Wenjie laughed, "So you really are busy! I thought you were just joking with us before!"
Lin Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, "I heard some stories about Xinglintang from Fu Bo and I admire them very much. I didn't intend to ask for more money, but I came here today to know about your character, so I put on an act. Please forgive me."
Yu Wenjie waved his hand, "Miss Lin, there's no need to apologize. It's my good fortune to know someone as intelligent and virtuous as you."
Xu Ming was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, thinking to himself: It seems that the young master really admires this Miss Lin.
The three had only been chatting for a short while when Fu Bo, who had just left with a solemn expression, pushed the door open and came in with an even more serious expression.
He stopped the three from making the transaction with a troubled expression, saying, "Wait a minute, Lin Yan, come here for a second!"
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and went out.
"What's going on! Could it be that they're going to back out?" Xu Ming seemed to realize that this matter was probably related to them, and his expression turned grim.
"It's alright, we'll know when they come in," Yu Wenjie said calmly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yan asked, puzzled.
Fu Bo's expression was grave. "Another person wants to buy Ganoderma lucidum."
"What's wrong with this person?" Lin Yan knew that Fu Bo wouldn't be unreasonable. He didn't refuse to discuss things with her, so he must have a reason that was hard to refuse.
Fu Bo pulled Lin Yan away from the private room and whispered, "Because the person who wants to buy Ganoderma lucidum is the famous doctor Li Zhongwei."
"A renowned doctor!" Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise. She had been trying to find a skilled doctor to treat her father's leg, and she never expected to be approached by such a doctor at this time.
Fu Bo continued, "His offer wasn't money, but rather that I could ask him to help three times."
Lin Yan nodded.
Seeing that she still had no expression, Fu Bo became anxious. "What should we do now? Young Master Yu just agreed. Are you going to go back on your word? But Li Zhongwei's medical skills are world-renowned. It's really hard to meet him. Besides, if it's him, Uncle Lin's leg might have a chance."
Lin Yan thought so too. This person's whereabouts were uncertain, wandering around everywhere. There was no definite location to look for him. It was fate that they met him here. They should not miss the opportunity. "Yes, we must keep him here, otherwise it will be difficult to meet him again next time."
"How about I go apologize to Young Master Yu? We can tell them the truth, and they should understand. However, we'll inevitably offend them." Fu Bo was extremely disappointed. He knew that Lin Yan would definitely choose to treat her father's illness, but the business deal had gone so well just now, and it had suddenly turned sour, which was really hard for him to accept.
Lin Yan considered for a moment, but smiled easily. She said to the impatient Fu Bo, "Don't worry too much, there's still a way!"
"Tell Uncle Zeng to keep Doctor Li here for a while, I'll be down in a bit."
Fu Bo asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Are you going to apologize to Young Master Yu?"
Lin Yan shook her head, "No, we're talking business!"
Fu Bo was shocked. "If you agree to Young Master Yu's request, what about Doctor Li?"
"You'll find out soon enough!" Lin Yan said mysteriously. "Go and stop them first."
"Sigh!" Fu Bo couldn't understand Lin Yan's idea, so he could only do as she said and go down to keep Doctor Li there.
Lin Yan turned and went into the room, where she saw that the two people inside looked rather serious. When they saw her come in, they both looked over.
Seeing that Lin Yan's expression remained relaxed, Yu Wenjie's eyes flickered slightly. "Young Master Fu, what have you been busy with? Aren't you coming in?"
"I need his help!"
"Oh? So, are we still doing business together?" Yu Wenjie asked with a meaningful tone.
Lin Yan glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Since you've agreed, then of course you'll do it!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Wenjie smiled and said, "Okay!"
Lin Yan took the Ganoderma lucidum from the cabinet and handed it to the two of them. Xu Ming counted out five 100-tael silver notes and handed them to Lin Yan.
"I was worried this business deal was going to fall through!" Yu Wenjie said with a hint of complaint.
Lin Yan smiled with relief, "There is indeed someone I can't refuse, but fortunately there are other ways, otherwise I wouldn't want to go back on my word."
"What? Someone actually wanted to buy it, and you turned him down?"
"No, I stalled for time."
"So you have a way to get him to do this business with you, even when you have no other options?" Yu Wenjie raised an eyebrow.
"I have more than one bargaining chip!" Lin Yan said, emphasizing each word.
“I’m a little curious,” Yu Wenjie said, his eyes shining.
"However, I can't stay any longer. Now that we have the goods, let's return to the capital as soon as possible."
"Okay, see you again sometime!" Lin Yan nodded to the two of them.
"I hope to see you again!" Yu Wenjie said, then looked at her for a moment before going downstairs with Xu Ming and leaving.
……
In the other private room, Fu Bo was engaged in a battle of wits with Doctor Li, but the outcome was somewhat one-sided.
Li Zhongwei had a full head of white hair and a white beard, but his face did not look old; he looked more like a middle-aged man. He looked at Fu Bo with great arrogance.
"Since you know who I am, give me a straight answer: can you give me the Ganoderma lucidum?"
Fu Bo was somewhat overwhelmed by Li Zhongwei's imposing manner. "Dr. Li! That Ganoderma lucidum isn't mine. Its owner will be here soon; you can ask her."
Li Zhongwei snorted and directly stated the fact: "She's probably doing business with the other side! I know the Yu family is also in Rong'an County right now, they should have contacted you too."
“Uh…” Fu Bo was taken aback.
"What, she's not satisfied with my terms? If she wants to agree to the other side, then I, the old man, won't stay here!" With that, Li Zhongwei made a move to get up.
Fu Bo quickly stopped him, "Hey, no! Doctor Li!"
"Dr. Li, please wait a moment. Didn't you want the Ganoderma lucidum?"
Seeing Lin Yan push the door open and enter, Fu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and complained in a low voice, "You've finally come! I was about to lose control!"
