Chapter 426 - What Kind of Extraordinary Person is the Respected Teacher

During the meal, everyone chatted for a while.

Li Han took the initiative to ask Chen Yang what he thought about being a contractor.

Chen Yang honestly shared his thoughts.

“For me, it’s a job I could take or leave.

To be honest, this project isn’t really a collaboration between the Gu Family and myself, but rather between your Li Family and the Gu Family.”

“The Gu Family doesn’t have their own construction team and felt embarrassed to ask your father directly, so they approached me to be the contractor.

So, the final decision really depends on what you and your father think.”

“If your father is willing, I can take on the contractor role.

If not, I’m also okay not taking it.”

Chen Yang expressed himself very clearly, and he saw the situation very clearly as well.

He was just an intermediary, needed by both families to maintain the relationship.

After listening to Chen Yang, Li Han nodded.

“You’re absolutely right.

That’s exactly what the Gu Family is thinking!”

Now it was Chen Yang’s turn to ask, “So what do you think?

Should we collaborate or not?

If we are to collaborate, we need to act quickly, as the project won’t wait for us.”

Li Han didn’t make a decision right away but said she needed to discuss it with her father, as her family’s construction conglomerate was always managed by her dad.

“Mm-hmm, such a big decision indeed needs thorough discussion.

Call him after we finish eating.”

Chen Yang nodded, then no one spoke again and they quietly continued eating.

After finishing the meal, Li Han immediately went to make a call.

Chen Yang checked the time; it was already past one in the afternoon, the time he had agreed to meet with Old Li.

He mentioned to the three women his need to go to the city to get some medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang was going out, Yang Ruoxi immediately expressed her intention to go along.

Chen Yang agreed, and also looked toward Li Han and Wu Kexin.

“I won’t go.

I need to have a good talk with my dad,” Li Han said.

“Then I won’t go either.

I’ll stay at home with Li Han.

You two go and come back quickly,” said Wu Kexin.

“Alright, you two stay home.

Ruoxi and I will be back soon.”

With the two women staying home, Chen Yang didn’t give it much thought and directly took Yang Ruoxi with him and set off in the car.

As they passed the convenience store, Uncle Niu, seeing Chen Yang heading out, called out to him.

“Yang Zi, are you headed to the county?”

Uncle Niu asked with a smile.

“Yes,”

Chen Yang nodded.

“Well, could you pick up some cigarettes for me?

They sell too well and are all out again,” Uncle Niu said with a laugh.

“No problem at all, Uncle Niu.

What kind of cigarettes do you need?”

Chen Yang smiled and agreed, then asked what cigarettes were needed before setting off.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the county town.

In the county town, Chen Yang first picked up a batch of cigarettes for Uncle Niu, placing them in the passenger seat.

Yang Ruoxi was sitting in the passenger seat.

Seeing Chen Yang putting so many cigarettes next to her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why not put them in the back where there’s plenty of space instead of here?”

Chen Yang grinned, “The back will hold the herbs soon.

Just keep these under your feet for now.

They’re packaged, so stepping on them won’t hurt.”

“Um… okay.”

Yang Ruoxi reluctantly nodded, then allowed Chen Yang to place the cigarettes on other empty spots in the passenger seat.

After packing the cigarettes, Chen Yang got back into the car and continued on his way.

They eventually reached Old Li’s herbal medicine shop.

Parking the car outside, Chen Yang went down alone into the shop.

Knowing Chen Yang was coming, Old Li had been waiting at the counter for a while.

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, he immediately came out smiling.

“You arrived so quickly; I thought it might be later,” Old Li said with a laugh.

“I came right after lunch; this batch of herbs is quite urgent,” Chen Yang replied.

“Alright, I won’t delay you any longer, let’s go directly to the warehouse,” Mr.

Li made a welcoming gesture.

He then led Chen Yang through the Chinese medicine shop to its warehouse.

In the warehouse, Chen Yang saw many of the herbs he needed.

And by their appearance, they were all newly stocked goods.

“Good, there’s no issue with the items, let’s load them onto the truck,” Chen Yang said after checking.

“Okay, I’ll have the workers load them right away,” noticing that Chen Yang found no issues, Mr.

Li immediately took Chen Yang back to the herbal shop and then called the workers to transport the herbs.

While the workers were busy, Mr.

Li pulled over two stools and sat down with Chen Yang at the front desk.

“Yang Zi, I have something I want to ask you.

If you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer me,” Mr.

Li suddenly said mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang looked at Mr.

Li, “What’s the matter, Mr.

Li?

Please feel free to ask,”

“Mmm…

it’s just that last time I heard from Jingman that a friend’s father was hit by a car, and you used a few small pills to directly mend his broken bones, and he could get out of bed and walk immediately.

Is that true?” Mr.

Li widened his eyes at Chen Yang.

His expression was as if he had seen something bizarre.

Hearing this question, Chen Yang was slightly startled, then answered, “That happened.”

“Really?”

Mr.

Li was astonished.

Initially, when he heard this from Wang Jingman, he thought it was impossible.

Where on earth could such miraculous things exist?

But then he thought about it, Wang Jingman wouldn’t joke about such matters, so he decided to ask Chen Yang with a try-it-and-see attitude, only to find Chen Yang nodding his head in admission.

It seems that things were exactly as Wang Jingman had described.

Shocked, Mr.

Li immediately followed up, “How can your pills be so miraculous?

Just one pill can properly connect a broken bone?

That’s too unscientific, isn’t it?”

Chen Yang knew Mr.

Li would react this way,

“Mr.

Li, the pills I make were all taught to me by my master, and I don’t know the principles behind them!”

Chen Yang also didn’t know how to explain the wonders of his pills, so he simply shifted the responsibility to his “master.”

Mr.

Li initially came with boundless curiosity and wanted to delve deeper.

But Chen Yang’s statement effectively blocked Mr.

Li’s path to satisfying his curiosity.

However, Mr.

Li didn’t stop his inquiries.

“Does your master have other pills to teach you, or just this bone-mending one?”

Mr.

Li continued to ask curiously.

Facing this question, Chen Yang didn’t directly answer, instead, he pondered for a moment.

After deciding that Mr.

Li was a trustworthy person, he then revealed the truth.

“The pills my master taught me to make are not only of that kind.

There are many kinds, many difficult and complicated illnesses that others can’t cure, I can cure them all!”

Chen Yang said calmly.

If it were someone else who said this, Mr.

Li would certainly scoff.

Saying this in front of him, a medical expert?

Isn’t that teaching granny to suck eggs?

But these were Chen Yang’s words, and Mr.

Li didn’t feel the slightest discomfort.

Instead, he felt it was natural!

Amazing!

“Incredible…

I really want to know what kind of remarkable person your master is, to have such great skills,” Mr.

Li said in amazement.

Chen Yang smiled lightly, “Mr.

Li, my master is actually just an ordinary person, don’t think too much about it!”

Today’s series of questions with Chen Yang left Mr.

Li greatly shocked, and at this point, he no longer felt like asking Chen Yang more questions, but instead began to ponder on his own.

He started to reflect deeply on their conversation.

At this moment, the workers in the store had almost finished loading the goods from the warehouse onto Chen Yang’s truck.

Then Chen Yang patted Mr.

Li on the shoulder, said a few words of goodbye, and left.

Mr.

Li watched Chen Yang leave.

“Impressive, really impressive.

If Yang Zi could contribute to a major hospital, he could surely benefit many people,”

Mr.

Li muttered to himself and then took out his cell phone…

After leaving the herb shop, Chen Yang drove Yang Ruoxi straight home.

They left around one o’clock, and by the time they returned, it was already after three in the afternoon.

Upon arriving home, Chen Yang found that Li Han and Wu Kexin were not there.

After making a phone call, he learned that both of them were at the village office.
