"Du Fei, actually my dad..."
"I'm sorry, Elder Gong, perhaps I wasn't clear enough before. Let me say it again clearly, I will not change my job. And you think my job has no prospects, but I believe it is extraordinarily meaningful."
This time, there was no smile on Du Fei's face, and his tone was somewhat cold.
Meanwhile, Gong Chengbin had an expression that he knew this would happen.
In fact, when Gong Weimin proposed that Du Fei help him, he was quite happy.
This was because it showed that the old man truly wished him well, hence his proposal.
However, when the old man said that the traditional Chinese medicine clinic had no future, Gong Chengbin knew something was wrong.
Because Gong Weimin didn't understand Du Fei, but Gong Chengbin, having known Du Fei for so long, knew that the traditional Chinese medicine clinic was a very important place to Du Fei.
Furthermore, Du Fei truly had no great desire for money.
Otherwise, even with the high profit-sharing Gong Chengbin offered Du Fei, if he had simply revealed the two beauty formulas to those top beauty groups, they would have offered an astronomical sum.
As expected, the old man's words had made Du Fei somewhat unhappy.
"Heh, alright. It's good for young people to have pride, but... sometimes you need to know your limits."
Du Fei refused again?
Seeing Du Fei's demeanor, Gong Weimin felt that he might be an idealist with lofty aspirations.
But Gong Weimin, who had seen countless storms and the cold realities of the world, believed that Du Fei's lofty aspirations would soon be shattered by the cruel reality and he would change.
However, with his status and position, there was no need for him to say so much to Du Fei.
Therefore, after Du Fei finished speaking, the study suddenly fell silent.
*Knock knock.*
Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside.
After Gong Weimin spoke, his assistant entered with a tea tray.
After slowly placing the tea tray on the desk, Gong Weimin's assistant poured three cups of tea from the teapot with brewed tea leaves.
"Have some tea."
Even though there had been some unpleasantness just now, Gong Weimin was who he was; this was nothing to him.
Just a young man with a bit of talent. Gong Weimin had only thought of helping him because Du Fei had a good relationship with his son.
Since Du Fei didn't appreciate the offer, Gong Weimin wouldn't say anything more.
After speaking, he was the first to pick up his teacup.
"This tea cannot be drunk!"
Just as Gong Weimin brought the teacup to his lips, ready to take a sip.
Upon hearing the voice, both Gong Weimin and Gong Chengbin subconsciously looked towards Du Fei, who had just spoken.
"Du Fei, what's wrong with this tea?"
Gong Chengbin, who trusted Du Fei greatly, immediately put down the teacup he had just picked up upon hearing Du Fei say it couldn't be drunk.
As for Gong Weimin, his face showed displeasure, "Is my tea poisoned?"
Initially, Gong Weimin had a good impression of Du Fei, but as Du Fei repeatedly rejected his suggestions, Gong Weimin developed some reservations about him.
Now that Du Fei actually said his favorite tea couldn't be drunk, Gong Weimin became even more unhappy.
The tea Gong Weimin was drinking was called Yuqian Longjing.
And this Yuqian Longjing was limited edition, costing tens of thousands of yuan per jin, making it more expensive than gold.
But precisely because of its preciousness, when the tea leaves were brewed, they emitted a refreshing fragrance that Gong Weimin loved.
Thus, he drank a pot every day.
"Dad, what are you saying? Let Du Fei finish speaking first."
Gong Chengbin saw that Gong Weimin was a bit displeased, but he still trusted Du Fei, so he spoke to persuade Gong Weimin.
"Hmph."
Gong Weimin snorted and said nothing more.
However, Du Fei shifted his gaze to Gong Weimin's assistant, who was standing by.
"Mr. Du, do you need anything?"
Gong Weimin's assistant appeared a little nervous under Du Fei's gaze.
Du Fei: "Ask Elder Gong's assistant why this tea cannot be drunk."
Huh?
Ask his assistant?
Gong Weimin was stunned, why should he ask his assistant?
"Du Fei, stop beating around the bush and just say it all at once."
Gong Chengbin glanced at the assistant, then looked at Du Fei and said.
Seeing both Gong Chengbin and Gong Weimin staring at him, the assistant's muscles tensed and his breathing became rapid. Du Fei said, "Of course, we need to ask Elder Gong's assistant what he added to the tea."
The assistant added something to the tea?
Upon hearing Du Fei's words, both Gong Weimin and Gong Chengbin turned to look at the assistant.
"Sir, Young Master, don't listen to his nonsense. How could I add things to the tea?"
The assistant kept shaking his hands, looking extremely innocent.
Gong Weimin withdrew his gaze from the assistant and then looked at Du Fei. "Du Fei, first you say the tea cannot be drunk, and then you say my assistant added something to it. This is utter nonsense!"
By now, even Gong Chengbin was beginning to doubt Du Fei's words.
This was because Gong Weimin's assistant had been with him for over ten years, handling all his affairs, big and small.
How could such a loyal subordinate, as Du Fei claimed, add something to the master's tea?
"How about this, why don't you drink all this pot of tea? What do you say?"
Du Fei ignored Gong Weimin, stood up, picked up the teapot, and walked towards the assistant.
The assistant stumbled back a few steps, "I won't drink it, I won't drink it, go away!"
"You added Mo Ying Teng, that's why you won't drink it."
"How did you know I added Mo Ying Teng?"
The assistant blurted out subconsciously.
After he said it, he realized something was wrong.
But it was too late.
Although the other two in the room didn't know what Mo Ying Teng was, judging by the assistant's reaction, they knew it was definitely not something good.
At this point, Du Fei had achieved his goal and no longer forced the assistant to drink the tea from the pot.
He walked back and sat down next to Gong Chengbin, then explained to the two of them what Mo Ying Teng was.
It turned out to be a vine that grew in the Miao region, and this vine called Mo Ying Teng was extremely rare.
After being processed and ground into powder, it would become the most potent poison.
Furthermore, when Mo Ying Teng was used to make poison, it was colorless and odorless when added to water. And because Mo Ying Teng did not take effect immediately, it required a period of consumption before it would show results.
Therefore, after death, even an autopsy could not determine the victim's true cause of death.
"Xiao He! I treated you well! Why are you trying to harm me like this!"
After hearing Du Fei's description, Gong Weimin instantly flew into a rage.
