Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“President Wang is a famous traditional medicine distributor in our local area.
Even us half-baked laymen can see the problem, so how can he not?”
“Could Wang Dequan have been hired by the auction organizer to help them raise the price?”
“That’s possible.”
“If that’s the case, the person in front will be in trouble.”
“The medicinal properties of this thing are barely comparable to those of a 50-year-old wild ginseng.”
“Spending more than 2 million yuan to buy a damaged ginseng is such a waste of money.”
The guests discussed animatedly, and most of the discussions were focused on Wang Dequan.
The market price of a 50-year-old wild ginseng would not exceed one million, yet he was spending more than twice the price to buy a defective product.
No one could guess what the two parties were thinking.
Even though the others were in the dark, the bidding war continued.
The middle-aged man raised the price to 3.4 million.
Wang Dequan took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yu beside him.
“3.6 million.”
The middle-aged man looked behind him with a complicated gaze.
3 million was already his limit.
Gritting his teeth, his bid of 3.4 million was already factoring in the money he could borrow.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dequan chased after him and raised the price to 3.6 million.
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh when he heard the first sound of the hammer.
He no longer had the ability to compete with Wang Dequan.
Seeing that this was an opportunity that could not be missed, the auctioneer quickly struck the hammer a second time.
After a while, the auctioneer hammered the hammer for the third time. “Congratulations, President Wang Dequan, for bidding for this 200-year-old wild ginseng at 3.6 million.”
Wang Dequan stood up and received the applause of the crowd.
After signing the purchase contract, the organizer would not immediately hand over the item to him.
Only after Wang Dequan transferred the money into the organizer’s account would the organizer send the auction items to him.
With the wild ginseng sold, the auction officially ended.
“Dr. Chen, is there something special about this wild ginseng?”
Wang Dequan asked curiously.
“Don’t worry about this for now,” Chen Yu said. “Help me call that middle-aged man over.”
“What? Call him over?”
Wang Dequan asked.
“Just call him over.”
Although Wang Dequan didn’t understand Chen Yu’s thoughts, he still called the middle-aged man to the clubhouse’s entrance.
The middle-aged man’s expression was gloomy, and he was in low spirits.
“I know this wild ginseng is useful to you,” Chen Yu said coolly. “But it’s equally useful to me, so…”
“Forget it; 1 don’t have as much money as you guys.”
The middle-aged man replied absentmindedly.
“Mister, you misunderstood my intentions.”
“I didn’t call you over to flaunt,” Chen Yu explained. “Instead, 1 want to tell you that even without this wild ginseng, your troubles can also be resolved.” “Hmm?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Yu up and down and asked hesitantly, “I’m in trouble?”
“Let me introduce myself,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “My name is Chen Yu.
You can call me by my full name or call me Dr. Chen.”
“I saw your nervous expression during the auction and knew someone in your family must have encountered some trouble.”
“You bought this wild ginseng to solve that problem, right?”
The middle-aged man sighed and replied, “Since you’re a doctor, 1 won’t hide it from you.”
“This wild ginseng is very important to me.”
“You weren’t wrong when you said 1 was in trouble.”
“Not long ago, my father was seriously ill, and I invited many doctors to treat him.”
“Western medicine is helpless, but traditional medicine stated that there was a chance that my father’s illness can still be treated, but he needs wild ginseng as a catalyst.”
“However, the wild mountain ginseng needed for my father must be at least a hundred years old.”
A 100-year-old ginseng was something that could only be encountered by luck.
The middle-aged man searched for half a month but still could not find a single one.
When he heard that a 200-year-old wild ginseng would be auctioned today, the middle-aged man spent a sum of money just to get an invitation letter to try his luck.
“Brother, it’s the right thing for you to come today.” Wang Dequan laughed heartily.
“Although you didn’t get any wild ginseng, you met Dr. Chen.”
“As long as Dr. Chen is willing to help, your father’s illness will not be a problem at all.”
Wang Dequan thought that this was a blessing from the heavens for the middle-aged man.
From the middle-aged man’s description, it was not difficult to tell that he was a filial son.
In order to treat his father’s illness, he spared no expense to find a 100-year-old ginseng.
He came here to try his luck, and he bumped into Chen Yu.
If it wasn’t God’s blessing, then what was it?
“You can cure my father’s illness?”
The middle-aged man asked in surprise.
“Sure.”
“However,” Chen Yu nodded and said, “I have a rule when I help people relieve their worries and treat their illnesses.”
“You need to pay up first.”
“No problem.”
The middle-aged man answered without thinking, “How much do you need?”
From the conversations of the people around him, the middle-aged man learned that Wang Dequan was a local traditional medicine distributor.
He was also one of the top ten wealthiest people in Hangzhou City.
So, someone at Wang Dequan’s side was definitely not some small fry.
Extending a finger, Chen Yu said, “10,000 yuan, including the medical fees and treatment fees.”
“If there’s no problem, please pay up first, and then I’ll go to your house to treat the patient.”
“No problem, no problem.”
The middle-aged man paid 10,000 yuan without hesitation.
He had come to the auction to look for a ginseng that was over 100 years old and was purely trying his luck.
It was his last resort.
His father’s condition was reaching criticality, and the middle-aged man could not afford to hesitate any longer.
The middle-aged man’s name was Zhao Jinquan, a senior executive of a company.
Not long ago, he was transferred from his hometown branch to Hangzhou City.
He was worried that no one would take care of her father after he left, so he might as well bring his father along.
He didn’t expect his father to fall ill after only a few months in Hangzhou City.
Quickly, Zhao Jinquan drove in front and led the way.
More than an hour later, the two cars stopped in front of a small villa.
Zhao Jinquan unlocked the door with his fingerprint and ordered the servants to prepare tea.
“There’s no need. We’ll go see the patient directly.”
Chen Yu waved his hand.
“In that case, follow me.”
Zhao Jinquan brought the two of them to a bedroom on the second floor.
The room was filled with a strange smell.
Wang Dequan sniffed and sighed. “The old man’s illness is severe.”
Zhao Jinquan said bitterly, “If I can’t find a ginseng that is more than 100 years old in two months, I’m afraid my father… Sigh.”
On the bed in the bedroom lay an old man who looked haggard and pale.
It gave them the feeling that he was about to die at any moment.
Looking at the old man’s face, Chen Yu said, “Mr. Zhao, forgive me for being straightforward.”
“The reason why your father became like this has a lot to do with your indulgence.”
Wang Dequan was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, “Dr. Chen, what do you mean by that? What did Mr. Zhao condone?”
“Mr. Zhao is a filial son,” Chen Yu said with a strange expression. “However, it’s also because he’s too filial that his father became like this.”
“If his father’s bad habits were stopped in time, he would definitely not be so seriously ill.”
“The old gentleman is only in his fifties, but he looks like he’s in his seventies or eighties.”
“Being overly indulgent and respectful to the elderly is a kind of harm..”
