The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 243 Underground Medicinal Herb Auction
After being scolded, the security guard quickly and respectfully let them pass.
"Venerable Sun, this way please!"
Boss Wu respectfully gestured for them to enter. Sun Buzhou had saved his life, and he was a grateful person.
The group entered Swallow Garden and found that the estate was indeed very large, with numerous artificial mountains and wandering fish in the ponds, creating a very artistic atmosphere.
Under Boss Wu's guidance, they walked forward. Boss Wu asked, "Venerable Sun, I wonder if you're here at the auction today to see the excitement or to buy some medicinal herbs?"
Sun Buzhou said frankly, "Oh, it's like this. I want to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs, but they're all sold out in the pharmacies, so I thought I'd come here to try my luck."
Then, Sun Buzhou stated the names of several medicinal herbs.
As Boss Wu listened, his eyes widened in surprise. "Venerable Sun, so you're also looking for these herbs!"
Sun Buzhou was slightly taken aback. "Little Wu, what do you mean by that?"
Boss Wu smiled awkwardly and said, "Venerable Sun, to be honest, as far as I know, the young lady who's been sweeping up medicinal herbs in the market is Miss He Xinyi from the He family in Hong Kong!"
"He Xinyi? Is that the He family's young lady who's always in the entertainment news?"
Huang Wenlei couldn't help but exclaim.
Boss Wu glanced at Huang Wenlei and nodded, "That's her!"
The He family in Hong Kong was not like Huang Wenlei's so-called local aristocratic family in Jiaonan. They were a real aristocratic family, a truly wealthy family, and had been wealthy for more than three generations. They had already become prosperous three hundred years ago, with a reputation at home and abroad.
At its peak, the He family had been among the top fifty on the global rich list, and even now, it was firmly in the top one hundred.
In Hong Kong, it was one of the leading wealthy families. In terms of money and wealth, ordinary rich people simply couldn't compare.
Moreover, the He family was not only rich but also produced many famous people and had extensive connections. If the head of the He family came to the mainland, the local provincial governor would have to personally receive them.
As for this Miss He Xinyi, she also became famous at a young age, but not for good reasons, but for her scandalous reputation!
She was beautiful and born into a wealthy family, and often had scandals with popular male stars. Although she wasn't in the entertainment industry, her name often appeared in the gossip columns.
It was said that several popular young male celebrities were her kept "little puppies."
Even Chen Xiao, a very straightforward man who had no interest in the entertainment industry, had heard of this young lady's scandalous reputation.
And at this moment, he showed a very strong interest in He Xinyi.
Of course, not an interest in her personally, but a great interest in her sweeping up medicinal herbs.
Chen Xiao stepped forward, looked at Boss Wu, and asked, "Boss Wu, do you know why this Miss He is sweeping up these medicines in the market?"
Boss Wu glanced at Chen Xiao, not daring to show the slightest contempt.
This was the difference between an old fox like him and a greenhorn like Huang Wenlei.
Although Venerable Sun had the greatest reputation, he could see at a glance that Chen Xiao was in charge of this group.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, this young man might be a young master from a large family out for experience, otherwise, why would Venerable Sun respect him so much?
He respectfully said, "Sir, to be honest, I don't know what Miss He's purpose is. I was also going to ask Venerable Sun…"
Speaking to this point, he stopped, waiting for Venerable Sun to speak, because Venerable Sun's purpose in buying these herbs might be the same as Miss He's.
Of course, if Venerable Sun didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to ask.
And Sun Buzhou naturally said nothing, because he didn't know at all… Chen Xiao hadn't had time to tell him the reason for buying these herbs.
Chen Xiao also said nothing, there was no need.
He simply asked Boss Wu, "Boss Wu, I wonder if these herbs can be bought at today's auction?"
"Hehe, sir, these herbs are too common, the chances of them appearing at the auction are not high."
Boss Wu shook his head and said, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel disappointed, he had come for nothing again!
But Boss Wu then added, "However, if sir wants these herbs, I do have some in stock that I can let you have!"
"Oh? Boss Wu, is what you're saying true?"
Chen Xiao's spirits immediately lifted.
Boss Wu smiled, not without pride, and said, "When Miss He started frantically sweeping up these herbs in the market, I also secretly snapped up a batch. Although I don't know what Miss He's purpose is, maybe this is a business opportunity…"
What is a businessman? This is a businessman!
Boss Wu had the nose of an excellent businessman, but… he was wrong. Although He Xinyi had swept up those herbs in the market, it wasn't really a business opportunity.
Moreover, Boss Wu also realized that this matter was strange, so he immediately decided to give his share of the herbs to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked like a big shot, being able to make such a big shot owe him a favor would make him a fortune!
With the matter of the herbs resolved, Chen Xiao was in a great mood and originally planned to take the herbs directly to make pills, but Boss Wu persuaded him, "Everyone, the auction is about to begin, since you're all here, why not go in and take a look? If there are any herbs you need, it won't be a wasted trip!"
Chen Xiao thought it made sense, so he nodded, "Alright, then let's go to the auction and have a look."
Huang Wenlei noticed that Chen Xiao had subtly become the center of the group, and a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes.
This made him very unhappy. Sun Buzhou was one thing, but how could this little doctor steal his limelight!
Under Boss Wu's guidance, they turned and twisted their way to a unique little courtyard.
The auction hadn't started yet, and there were already many people waiting in the courtyard. Each of these people was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, and they looked like wealthy people or medicinal herb merchants.
"Oh? Isn't this Venerable Sun!"
"Hello, Venerable Sun!"
"Venerable Sun, your presence here makes this place shine!"
Chen Xiao and the others stepped into the courtyard, and several people recognized Sun Buzhou and immediately gathered around to greet him warmly.
And some people didn't recognize Sun Buzhou, so the people next to them enthusiastically introduced him, this is one of the only three National Medical Masters in the country, Venerable Sun!
Seeing Sun Buzhou so popular, Chen Xiao was also happy to be at ease.
And Huang Wenlei on the side was very happy, because many people also greeted him, while Chen Xiao and the others were neglected on the side, which made him feel very good.
Just then, a group of people walked into the courtyard, and the one leading the way was a peerlessly beautiful woman!
