Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Nine

Several girls were actually more interested in Chun Tao.

After all, men and women are different. Men need family background, money, and talent as their capital to enter certain circles, whereas for women, even without an extraordinary family background, exceptional beauty can also be a significant asset.

With Chun Tao's stunning beauty,

even if her origins were somewhat humble, she had every right to enter their circle.

Long Xiaoshan had sat in the dormitory for a while before he got up and said, "Taozi, you stay here and get used to school life first, I'm going to leave now. I will be in the city these next few days, call me if you need anything."

"Little Xiaoshan, are you leaving?" Chun Tao looked reluctant, as if she had been abandoned.

"Yes, study hard," Long Xiaoshan patted her head and instructed.

"Yes, I will."

Chun Tao accompanied Long Xiaoshan all the way downstairs before reluctantly returning to the dormitory.

Yuan Xiaoli watched Chun Tao walk back and shook her head, "Chun Tao, I'm not trying to criticize you, but men should not be indulged. The more you cling to them, the less they care about you. To deal with men, you should give them a mix of stick and carrot. The less they can have you, the more they want you. It's not good to stick around like you do. With your looks, what kind of boyfriend can't you find? If you want, I can introduce you to someone."

Chun Tao shook her head hurriedly, frightened, "No, no need, little Xiaoshan is very good."

Su Mei glared at Yuan Xiaoli, "That's pure self-interest talking."

"I'm just being direct. Big Sister Su, do you really think Chun Tao and that Long Xiaoshan are suitable? Chun Tao will be a part of our 306 soon. You already have Chairman Wei of the student union courting you; he's the son of District Chief Wei. As for Mengjie, needless to say, there are no less than ten guys chasing her in our school alone; those whose families have assets less than thirty million barely have the nerve to make a move. I can't compare with you two beauties, but I definitely wouldn't agree to be someone's girlfriend if his family doesn't have a real official post or at least ten million in assets," Yuan Xiaoli said, "Tell me, if we have a gathering or liaison, would it be appropriate for Chun Tao to bring her farmer boyfriend? Mengjie, what do you think?"

Mengjie laughed coldly, her eyes showing a hint of disdain.

Su Mei didn't say anything else; everyone came from nonordinary families and naturally understood the importance of social circles.

Chun Tao wanted to join their circle.

So, her boyfriend definitely couldn't be a farmer.

Moreover, with Chun Tao's beauty, Long Xiaoshan was definitely not her match. After all, in a world where power and wealth are supreme, without enough influence, having a girlfriend of devastating beauty is but a beautiful dream, an illusion in a mirror and water, a fleeting shadow in a dream.

Little did Long Xiaoshan know that Yuan Xiaoli and others had already completely written off the future for him and Chun Tao.

At that moment, he was sitting in a Passat, calling Bai Susu.

This time, bringing Chun Tao out, he also conveniently brought the hundred-year-old ginseng with him.

Having previously promised to extend Patriarch Bai's life, he certainly wouldn't break his word.

The call was quickly connected.

A tender voice from Bai Susu came through, "Little Xiaoshan, is that you?"

"It's me, Auntie Su."

"What's up? Why are you free to call me? Is there something you need?"

"Auntie Su, I've found the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine; it's a hundred-year-old ginseng."

"What!" A shocked exclamation came from the other end of the phone; Bai Susu hadn't expected that Long Xiaoshan would have found the hundred-year-old medicine just over a week after his departure.

Overwhelmed with excitement, it took her a while to recover. Still incredulous, Bai Susu asked, "Really? Little Xiaoshan, did you really find the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine?"

"Of course, it's true, Auntie Su. I'm already in Hechuan City. Where are you? I'll come to you," Long Xiaoshan replied.

"I'm at the company right now."

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there soon."

Long Xiaoshan hung up the phone and directed Ashui to go to Bai's Medicinal Materials Company.

Twenty minutes or so later, the Passat arrived at Bai's Medicinal Materials. The moment he got out of the car, Long Xiaoshan heard a voice, "little Xiaoshan."

Long Xiaoshan saw Bai Susu already standing at the entrance of the company.

Hurrying towards him.

Long Xiaoshan said to Ashui, "Okay, Ashui, you can go back now, no need for you to drive anymore."

Ashui nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Long."

He drove the Passat away.

At this time, Bai Susu had walked up to Long Xiaoshan. She was still dressed in a plain cheongsam, her black hair coiled up behind her head, reminiscent of a distinguished young lady from the Republic era, ineffably graceful and poised, full of allure because of her anxiety, she immediately grabbed Long Xiaoshan's hand upon approaching and asked, "little Xiaoshan, did you bring the medicine?"

"Auntie Su, don't worry." Long Xiaoshan said with a slight smile, "Let's go inside and talk."

Bai Susu realized she had been too impulsive.

A hundred-Year-Old Medicine, invaluable in worth, even if Bai's Medicinal Materials exhausted all resources, they couldn't obtain a single plant.

Such a treasure must not be revealed in public.

She took a deep breath and pulled Long Xiaoshan into the company building.

The employees of Bai's Medicinal Materials watched in amazement as their company's elegant and unparalleled chairman pulled a man's hand and hurried by. Stay updated via empire

In the many years since the company's establishment, countless men have sought Bai Susu's affection, yet she had never been seen close to any man, let alone holding hands.

The chairman's office.

After Bai Susu pulled Long Xiaoshan in, she closed the door.

Looking at him with anticipation.

Long Xiaoshan understood her feelings and didn't make her wait. He took off his backpack, opened it, and took out a wooden box, saying, "Auntie Su, take a look."

Bai Susu's hands trembled slightly as she opened the box. A strong scent of herbs rushed to her nose, making her feel as if her body had lightened somewhat. Inside the box lay a ginseng as thick as a baby's arm, its deep yellow color pervaded the whole plant, and its roots were half a meter long.

Bai Susu was an expert in medicinal materials.

At first glance at this ginseng, her eyes widened.

No need for machines to authenticate.

Just by smelling the scent of the ginseng and assessing its appearance, she could almost be certain that this was undoubtedly top-grade old medicine, and as for its age, it was probably more than a hundred years old.

Next, Bai Susu had someone take a sample of the ginseng flesh for testing.

Long Xiaoshan also wanted to see just what level the potency of the Spirit Ginseng he had cultivated with Spiritual Liquid could reach.

After all, the naked eye is never as accurate as machine analysis.

About ten minutes later, the test results were out.

The Bai's employee who conducted the test came over with the report, her face filled with shock as she reported, "Chairman, the potency of this ginseng reached that of a two-hundred-year-old specimen."

Bai Susu's pretty face changed color.

Long Xiaoshan also showed a hint of surprise.

He had only known that medicinal herbs cultivated with Spiritual Liquid had a potency that seemed superior to ordinary herbs, but he didn't expect that a hundred-year-old herb could match the potency of a two-hundred-year-old specimen.

It was not as simple as doubling.

The older the medicinal herb, the more precious it becomes as it grows.

The price difference between a hundred-year-old medicinal herb and a two-hundred-year-old one is more than just a few times.
