Chapter 122: Securing the Stone Ganoderma Once More

Seeing Gu Xiujin nod directly, Li Zhao was dumbfounded. His boss was Gu Xiujin, a renowned business genius in the commercial world, with assets exceeding one hundred million and a handsome appearance—truly the diamond bachelor coveted by countless daughters of noble families.

Since working alongside Gu Xiujin, Li Zhao had never seen any woman try to distance herself from their boss. Xie Qingtang was the first.

“What Xie Qingtang means is that from now on, our relationship will be strictly business. If I want her to treat me, she must be paid. And if she asks for my help, the same principle applies,” Gu Xiujin immediately saw through Xie Qingtang’s cautious intentions.

At this moment, inside the Cunshan Hall, Xie Qingtang sneezed twice, rubbed her delicate nose, and said, “I wonder who’s cursing me from behind.”

“Boss, this month’s revenue has already exceeded one million. Ever since you saved that pregnant woman with severe hemorrhaging at Gu’s Hospital, many pregnant women have come to Cunshan Hall. Business is improving day by day,” Zhou Jinfan said cheerfully after calculating the month’s earnings.

However, for Xie Qingtang, this growth was still too slow. Ordinary patients simply couldn’t make her rich overnight. To truly earn more, she had to treat high-end clients—people like Dong Weiyi, who never lacked money.

Seeing Xie Qingtang sitting silently, Zhou Jinfan paused with the calculator app on his phone before tentatively asking, “Boss, what’s wrong? Are you not satisfied with the revenue?”

“It’s not that,” Xie Qingtang said without elaboration. She stood up and went to feed the little bird some herbal medicine.

Early the next morning, Xie Qingtang was pondering how to break into the high-end market and convince those noble families to trust traditional Chinese medicine and seek her treatment.

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. Zhou Jinfan peeked in and said, “Boss, Mr. Dong is here. He says he has something to discuss with you.”

“Oh, let him in,” Xie Qingtang immediately straightened up. Dong Weiyi entered carrying a wooden box, his face still wearing a gentle and refined smile.

Xie Qingtang’s eyes immediately fell on the box in his hand. Dong Weiyi placed it on the table and smiled. “The market has just received a premium Ganoderma lucidum. I believe such fine medicinal material can only fully exert its effect in the hands of a good doctor, so I thought to bring it to you first. Would you be interested?”

At his words, a look of delight instantly appeared on Xie Qingtang’s face. She nodded eagerly. “Let me take a look at the herb first.”

“Of course!” Dong Weiyi nodded and opened the wooden box. Inside was indeed a Ganoderma lucidum, but its color was unusual. Unlike the usual deep reddish-brown, it had a grayish hue, resembling stone.

Seeing this Ganoderma, Xie Qingtang froze in place, then suddenly stood up. Dong Weiyi was somewhat surprised. “Doctor Xie, are you alright? Although the color is strange, professional testing shows its efficacy is no less than that of ordinary Ganoderma. Moreover, it seems to contain a special substance that current systems can’t identify.”

Seeing her abrupt reaction, Dong Weiyi assumed she was startled by the unusual color and quickly reassured her that the medicinal effect was not inferior.

“Don’t you know what this Ganoderma is?” Xie Qingtang asked in surprise. For someone from a traditional Chinese medicine family like Dong Weiyi, not recognizing this grayish Ganoderma was unexpected.

Dong Weiyi shook his head with a smile. “It’s my first time seeing one with this color. But Doctor Xie, rest assured, its efficacy is truly no worse than that of normal Ganoderma. I can guarantee that.”

Coming back to herself, Xie Qingtang sat down, feeling moved. She took the wooden box from his hands, her eyes flashing with determination. “I’ll buy this Ganoderma for three million.”

“No need to pay that much, Doctor Xie. Just the regular market price for Ganoderma is fine,” Dong Weiyi waved his hand.

A look of surprise crossed Xie Qingtang’s eyes. She knew well that a shrewd businessman like Dong Weiyi would have discerned from her reaction that the Ganoderma in the box was quite valuable.

Yet to her surprise, Dong Weiyi did not raise the price. He still wanted her to pay the price of ordinary Ganoderma.

Seeing such sincerity, Xie Qingtang felt embarrassed to hide the truth and said bluntly, “Mr. Dong, you probably already guessed it. This Ganoderma isn’t ordinary; it’s a rare medicinal herb called Stone Ganoderma—a treasure of heaven and earth. Three million is already a very low price.”

“I see. But Doctor Xie, please trust that my decision won’t change. As a businessman, I don’t even know the true value of this good herb. Such a precious material can only show its true worth in the hands of a divine doctor like you. So please, just pay the regular Ganoderma price to buy it,” Dong Weiyi said with a warm smile.

Xie Qingtang was stunned again. She hadn’t expected that after learning the value of this Stone Ganoderma, the man would still insist on selling it at the normal price.

“No, I can’t go against my conscience. Whether you know the value of this Stone Ganoderma or not, I must pay you a price that reflects its worth. It’s also a matter of respect for this herb,” Xie Qingtang said firmly. She then called Zhou Jinfan into the consultation room and asked him to gather all the current liquid funds from Cunshan Hall.

This frightened Zhou Jinfan, but under Xie Qingtang’s determined gaze, he nodded and counted all the funds, which totaled 4.2 million.

“This is all the money Cunshan Hall has. It’s all for you,” Xie Qingtang said earnestly.
