"What the Yan family cannot achieve, the Wang family might, and I have heard of Bogu Pharmacy's reputation."
Ling Feng spoke calmly, adopting the demeanor of a superior placing high hopes on a subordinate.
This made Old Man Wang feel quite uncomfortable, but he still nodded at Ling Feng. "Heh, Mr. Ling thinks highly of our Wang family. Since that's the case, please provide the prescription, and I'll have someone check. If we have it, I'll get it for you!"
Ling Feng was direct. "I want the Human-Faced Beast-Heart Fruit! It is a spiritual medicine!"
"What? Oh... I haven't heard of this fruit!"
Old Man Wang was somewhat agitated, but quickly corrected himself.
Ling Feng's eyes lit up.
This reaction indicated that the item was indeed in the old man's possession.
And most likely, the old man hadn't used it yet!
This meant his trip would not be in vain!
As long as the item was there, there was a chance to obtain it!
"I heard that thirty years ago, this item appeared in the Wang family, and it was in your hands, Grandpa. The Human-Faced Beast-Heart Fruit refers to this spiritual medicine. Its skin is smooth and fair, like human skin, while its core resembles the face of a ferocious beast! It is also called the Longevity Fruit, and consuming it can extend life and restore youth!"
Ling Feng spoke word by word, his eyes fixed on Old Man Wang's expression, and finally added.
"Old Man Wang must have been suffering from an illness back then, which is why you needed this item to extend your life. But you should have recovered from your illness, so this item has been stored away for so many years. I am here today precisely to seek this spiritual medicine!"
His determined aura surged forward!
Old Man Wang's smile was becoming difficult to maintain. He remained silent for a full five seconds.
Then, he smiled and nodded at Ling Feng. "Oh, oh, so it's the Longevity Fruit! Human-Faced Beast-Heart Fruit? There's such a saying? Heh, it seems I, this old man, know too little! After your reminder, Mr. Ling, I really do recall that I do have one of these items!"
He admitted it!
It was good that he admitted it!
Yang Fei couldn't help but show a smile.
Ling Feng knew this was just the beginning. "Since you have the item, Old Man Wang, please consider it. I wish to purchase it. Please name your price!"
"Haha, so, Mr. Ling, you really don't lack money! However, this spiritual medicine is truly a treasure, considered the crown jewel of our Wang family. To sell it just like that, I'm truly reluctant!"
Old Man Wang laughed heartily, putting on a show of great reluctance.
Ling Feng shook his head slightly.
This old fellow doesn't want money.
This was the most troublesome situation. If not money, then it would be other things.
Or perhaps he wanted Ling Feng to do something for him.
Either way, it was not as straightforward as giving him money!
"Old Man Wang, you can state your conditions!" Ling Feng said, finding himself in a passive position.
Just then, Wang Haiyang, who was beside Old Man Wang, leaned in and whispered something.
Old Man Wang then cheerfully called out, "Heh, Mr. Ling, the banquet is ready. You are our honored guest today. Let's drink and talk. Please do us the honor!"
With that, Old Man Wang walked forward. Although he was leaning on a cane, his legs seemed much more agile now!
Yang Fei couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
This old guy was clearly faking it earlier!
Ling Feng, however, paid no mind to this. What he cared about was what conditions this old man would propose next!
"In that case, it is my pleasure to trouble you, Old Man Wang! I apologize for the intrusion!"
"It's nothing, come, please!"
Old Man Wang merely invited him, no longer mentioning the Human-Faced Beast-Heart Fruit.
As the group moved towards the banquet hall.
Meanwhile, Hua Yuxiao had already taken a seat at a table. The decor here had a Japanese feel.
Even the arrangements in the courtyard were similar.
Hua Yuxiao felt very uncomfortable upon entering, especially with the bald middle-aged man sitting opposite her.
His name was Wang Dongcheng, a direct descendant of the Wang family, though somewhat on the fringes.
However, he held a very important position in the Wang family's industry, Bogu Pharmacy, as the general manager of the business department.
Many deals passed through his hands.
This position was highly lucrative and also quite demanding.
It was only natural that this fellow was exceptionally intelligent.
For Hua Yuxiao, the first step in entering the Kyoto pharmaceutical market was to reach an agreement with him. Some medicines from Nanyun were excellent, but their promotional efforts were insufficient.
It was difficult to open up the Kyoto market.
However, Bogu Pharmacy had the largest market base. Forget excellent medicines!
Even selling some fake drugs, as long as they didn't kill people, would be in high demand if placed on the counters of their stores!
It was no exaggeration to say that if she could join this grand venture, Hua Yuxiao's business in Kyoto would be a guaranteed success.
Hua Yuxiao had come with full sincerity today. Even if she had to lower her profit margins to the minimum and offer substantial kickbacks, it wouldn't matter as long as the deal was finalized!
However, at this moment, Hua Yuxiao felt that things might not be so simple.
Wang Dongcheng's gaze towards her was very lewd!
"Heh, President Hua, I've also looked into your company's situation. You indeed have strong foundations in Nanyun! When it comes to medicines, there are absolutely no problems!"
Wang Dongcheng spoke.
He didn't stop his hands either, directly pouring a cup of tea and offering it to Hua Yuxiao.
"Oh, thank you for your recognition, President Wang. Our company is very sincere. We hope for your guidance as we establish ourselves in Shanghai."
"Haha, of course, I will provide guidance. Not to mention your company, but just having a beautiful woman like you, President Hua, come to me personally, I would sign the contract no matter what!"
Wang Dongcheng laughed heartily and took out the contract from the side.
He also picked up a pen.
Hua Yuxiao's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
She had initially thought Wang Dongcheng was a lewd, bald uncle, and his gaze towards her clearly indicated ulterior motives!
But she hadn't expected Wang Dongcheng to be so straightforward.
They were about to sign the contract!
But just as Wang Dongcheng was about to sign, he waved at Hua Yuxiao. "Ah, President Hua, this tea is a gift from our old patriarch. It's excellent tea, please try some!"
Hua Yuxiao didn't have time to think, only hoping that he would sign quickly so she could leave this place that made her feel uneasy!
She quickly raised the teacup and drank half of it in one gulp.
"Hmm, it's truly good tea, President Wang, thank you for the fine tea. This contract..."
"Ah, this contract seems a bit different from what we discussed earlier. Well, President Hua, you don't mind if I take another look, do you?" Suddenly, Wang Dongcheng put down the pen, looking at it with a serious expression.
This made Hua Yuxiao nervous. "Different? Oh, please take a look, President Wang. Please tell me if there are any issues..."
After saying this, Hua Yuxiao suddenly felt her heart race, and her pretty face felt hot!
What was going on?
Why was she so nervous?
Even if the contract wasn't signed, she shouldn't be this nervous!
