Ye Tian nodded and handed him a porcelain bottle, saying, "Don't open it, or the medicinal power will escape. Inside are three pills. Have Elder Yang take one every three days, for three consecutive days."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, I've noted it down."
After the middle-aged officer left, Ye Tian also called Yang Zheng and gave him a few instructions.
Just as he saw them off, he received a call from Jiang Shengming, the secretary to the city's top leader. A while ago, Ye Tian had asked him to arrange some kind of identity for Ye Shaodong, like one of the Top Ten Youngsters.
Jiang Shengming was very thoughtful and quickly got the matter done. He informed Ye Tian that the city government would hold a conference for the Top Ten Entrepreneurs of the city the next morning, and Ye Shaodong was one of them, invited to receive an award.
Ye Tian thanked him, thinking that his brother's relationship with Feng Xiuxiu could now move forward.
By this time, it was already dark. Yan'er came to call him for dinner. The meal was very rich, prepared by Feng Xiuxiu herself.
While eating, Ye Tian said, "Brother, tomorrow you'll come with me to change the company's shareholding and pick up an award."
Ye Shaodong was taken aback, "Change the shareholding?"
Ye Tian replied, "I've decided to transfer the company's shares to you."
Ye Shaodong scratched his head, "There's no need, is there?" Da Feng Novel Network
In his heart, what was his was Ye Tian's, and he didn't differentiate so clearly.
Ye Tian said, "It is necessary. If you want to marry Sister Xiuxiu, don't you need some social standing? I'll give you the shares, and with an award as one of Haicheng's Top Ten Entrepreneurs, this matter will be settled."
Feng Xiuxiu glanced at Ye Shaodong stealthily, then placed a chicken drumstick on Ye Tian's plate.
Ye Shaodong said, "Alright then."
That night, Ye Tian fell asleep as soon as he lay down. Refining pills had tired him out, and he hadn't rested all day, so he needed a good night's sleep.
The next morning, the two brothers went to change the shareholder information. From now on, Ye Shaodong was a shareholder of the pharmaceutical company.
In the morning, Ye Shaodong attended an award ceremony held by the city government. Ye Tian did not go because he had to receive two distinguished guests, Li Yuankun and Master Guangji.
At ten in the morning, a car arrived at the entrance. The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit and a smiling eminent monk stepped out.
These two were the contemporary Earth Master and the contemporary Holy Monk, and they were both Ye Tian's friends.
Ye Tian smiled, "Master Li, Master, I'm very happy you could come."
Li Yuankun chuckled, "Heard you were refining pills, Guangji's mouth has been watering."
Guangji smiled, "I happen to have something for you."
He took out a human-shaped He Shou Wu from his pocket and said, "This thing should be usable as medicine."
Ye Tian took the He Shou Wu and noticed that its surface had a patina, as if it had been handled for a long time. It emitted a faint fragrance.
Ye Tian's eyes lit up, "This is a Jade-grade He Shou Wu. Where did you get it, Master?"
Guangji replied, "A wealthy family in the countryside passed it down for three generations. I helped him, and he gave it to me. Little Ye, keep it for refining pills, and remember to give me half a furnace when it's done."
Li Yuankun scoffed, "Can a monk have any shame? If you get half a furnace, will there be any left for me?"
Guangji said triumphantly, "Who told you you don't have the medicine?"
Li Yuankun snorted, "Speaking of medicine, of course, I have some."
He said to Ye Tian, "Come on, get in the car!"
Ye Tian asked curiously, "We just got home, why are we getting in the car?"
"Hurry, I just remembered something," Li Yuankun urged him.
Ye Tian had no choice but to get into the car. Li Yuankun instructed the driver to drive to a town under Haicheng, Guanxi Town.
A national highway passed through Guanxi Town, with bustling shops on both sides of the road. The car turned in and stopped in front of a butcher shop.
The facade of the butcher shop was faded yellow, suggesting it had been in business for many years.
After getting out of the car, Guangji smiled, "Does the Earth Master want to eat meat?"
Li Yuankun said, "Monk, this family has been slaughtering pigs and selling meat for four generations. Their chopping block is very interesting."
Ye Tian's heart stirred. The three of them walked into the butcher shop and saw a huge, over a meter-tall half of a tree root placed inside the shop. A burly man was chopping meat on the tree stump.
The bottom of this half-tree was sawed flat, and the bark emitted a faint reddish sheen. Ye Tian stepped forward and sniffed. He couldn't smell any blood, but rather a faint fragrance.
