De Shan Fang.
Located in the suburbs of Rongcheng.
Although it is a bit out of the way, it never lacks customers.
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. It is said that the ancestors of De Shan Fang once served as head chefs in the imperial kitchen, so their culinary skills are naturally extraordinary.
Coupled with the recent trend of private kitchens, the wealthy like to do things differently, so De Shan Fang is also doing exceptionally well.
This dining venue was chosen by Su Hao because Ye Huijuan loves to try all sorts of delicacies. Thus, whenever they visit a new place, Su Hao makes it a point to collect local specialties and take Ye Huijuan to try them one by one.
It must be said that Su Hao is indeed a very doting husband.
When they arrived at De Shan Fang, the parking lot was already full of various luxury cars.
Fortunately, Su Hao had made a reservation in advance, otherwise, they would have had to turn back.
After informing the server at the entrance of the reservation number and name, they were led to a private room on the third floor with Du Fei and the other two.
"Little brother, what would you like to eat?"
Ye Huijuan picked up the menu and first looked at Du Fei.
Du Fei was not picky about food; he would eat anything that wasn't too unpalatable, so he said he was fine with anything.
As for Su Hao, there was no need to even ask.
Ye Huijuan ordered all of De Shan Fang's signature dishes and then handed the menu to the waiter.
"By the way, Sister Juan, how has your health been recovering lately?"
After the waiter left, Du Fei asked Ye Huijuan about her health with concern.
Ye Huijuan smiled faintly, "My health is excellent now. Ever since you cured my cold uterus condition, I feel like I've been reborn."
Su Hao, sitting beside her, held Ye Huijuan's hand and said, "Speaking of which, I still find it incredible. Du Fei, you are just a young man in your early twenties, yet you possess such miraculous medical skills. You first cured Huijuan's cold uterus, and then you healed my old injuries. When I think about it carefully, I still feel like I'm dreaming."
"That's right, little brother. Speaking of this, I always feel like I owe you a great debt of gratitude. How about this, think about anything else you want, and I'll get it for you, okay?"
Du Fei smiled helplessly, "Sister Juan, you don't owe me anything at all. I charged you a considerable consultation fee for treating your illness. Besides, you're planning to have me act as the agent for your company, so I should be the one thanking you."
A consultation fee of fifty million, plus a cooperative company that even Gong Qingbin was desperately trying to acquire—these two things combined were enough to make ninety-nine percent of people unreachable for a lifetime.
Du Fei felt that he had already received enough.
"Tian Kun Group is just starting out. We don't know what heights it will reach in the future. However, we are both very at ease leaving it in your hands."
As Ye Huijuan finished speaking, Du Fei's eyes widened as he looked at her.
Seeing Du Fei's stare, Ye Huijuan was surprised, as she didn't think she had said anything wrong.
"Sister Juan, did you just say Tian Kun Group?"
Du Fei asked, somewhat uncertainly and nervously looking at Ye Huijuan.
Ye Huijuan found it very strange why Du Fei was so surprised, but since Du Fei asked, she could only nod. "Yes, didn't I give you a proposal before? You haven't looked at it, have you? Tian Kun Group is the joint venture company for our cooperative project with your friend."
"What's wrong, Du Fei? Are you still lacking confidence? Don't worry, Tian Kun Group primarily focuses on pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, and you happen to be an expert in this field. Every beginning is difficult, but we have faith in you!"
Su Hao was also curious about Du Fei's reaction. He thought Du Fei was still worried about not being able to handle the role of agent, so he spoke to comfort him.
It was truly a case of finding something without looking.
Du Fei had been troubled about where to find this Tian Kun Group and how to buy the two medicinal herbs he needed from them.
He never expected that the Tian Kun Group he had been searching for was right in front of him, and he had simply overlooked it.
Ye Huijuan had indeed given him a proposal before, but Du Fei had been swamped with work at the Chinese medicine clinic recently and hadn't even flipped through a single page after taking it home.
At this moment, Du Fei felt a pang of self-reproach. If he had just casually glanced at it, he wouldn't have been so troubled earlier.
"Sister Juan, Brother Hao, actually, the situation is like this..."
Du Fei knew that his recent behavior had made Ye Huijuan and Su Hao very curious.
So, he explained how he had asked someone to buy medicinal herbs, only to find that the two herbs he needed had been bought out by Tian Kun Group.
Of course, Du Fei didn't tell them what he planned to do with the herbs, only that he needed them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Huijuan's face lit up. "Little brother, look, this is another coincidence. Ever since I met you, I feel like there are so many coincidences in this world, as if fate itself is arranging for us to meet."
Afterward, Ye Huijuan immediately stated that since Du Fei needed these two medicinal herbs, she would give them all to him.
Du Fei quickly said that he only needed a portion of them and that he would pay for them.
Ye Huijuan naturally wanted to give them to Du Fei as a gift, but Du Fei insisted that each transaction was separate. If these herbs hadn't been acquired by them, Du Fei would have had to buy them from someone else, so he still needed to pay.
Subsequently, Du Fei mentioned that since Tian Kun Group's primary focus was on pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, he could also provide some formulas for Chinese patent medicines.
"By the way, Sister Juan, I have some beauty formulas here. Do you think they can be used as products for the new company?"
Du Fei was completely clueless about business, so he decided to ask Ye Huijuan first.
Ye Huijuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, the market for beauty products is actually saturated. In recent years, it has been firmly controlled by foreign brands. Coupled with what you are providing, it would likely be related to Chinese medicine beauty products, right? This depends on the effects. If the effects are good, it might be worth a try."
In fact, the concept of Chinese medicine beauty had been tried as a selling point long ago.
However, after being launched into the market, it was gradually phased out due to poor beauty and whitening effects.
If anyone else had proposed this, Ye Huijuan would have rejected it without a second thought, but since Du Fei proposed it, it was a different matter entirely.
In any case, the company was going to be handed over to Du Fei to manage, so at most, there would be a loss of some research and development costs, which Ye Huijuan didn't even consider.
"Alright, I'll test the effects first and report back to Sister Juan if they are good."
Du Fei had only mentioned it casually.
For him, the most important thing was that he had found a source for Man Tian Xing and Jin Zhen Cao, and his alchemy plan could proceed smoothly.
