Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Appointed Spokesperson

Qin Xuan stretched out her small hand and slapped the silver button between the two.

Craining her neck, she shouted into the microphone on the table, "1.5 million!"

Boom!

The moment her delicate and tender voice rang out, it was as if a bomb had gone off in the venue, drawing the gazes of countless people toward the private room where Chen Dashan and another person sat.

Which wealthy family’s young miss is this?

Competing with a bunch of grown men for this? Wasn’t she causing trouble?

At this moment, Qin Xuan was oblivious to all this.

Seeing the surprised look on Chen Dashan’s face, Qin Xuan said proudly with a smile, "Doctor Chen, didn’t you say it was a good thing? Surely 1.5 million isn’t a loss, right?"

"Look, so many people are rushing to bid for it."

Before Qin Xuan could finish her sentence, someone else in the auction loudly said, "1.6 million!"

Frowning, Qin Xuan bent forward to press the silver button again, but a large hand covered it. Looking up, Chen Dashan said, "Are you sure you still want to bid?"

"Do you even know what ambergris is used for?"

"Ah?"

Qin Xuan was taken aback.

Her bewildered expression was quite cute, and Chen Dashan laughed, "Many people here today probably came for it, as its biggest effect is to strengthen yang and replenish essence."

"It has miraculous effects when used in medicines for those lacking desire in a certain aspect."

With these words, an awkward atmosphere filled the room.

Qin Xuan’s face turned red with embarrassment.

Feeling abashed, she stuck out her tongue to lick her pink lips, sat up straight, and as she watched Chen Dashan smiling at her, she wished she could crawl into a hole in the ground.

"Um... Doctor Chen, how can you remember so many herbs?"

"You seem to recognize all of them. Have you seen them before?"

After a long pause, Qin Xuan broke the awkward silence in the room.

Chen Dashan diverted his gaze, turned to Qin Xuan, and said, "I haven’t seen them before; I read about them in books."

Of course, Chen Dashan couldn’t say that all of this was part of his inherited knowledge, almost as if etched into his mind. Upon seeing these herbs, he could instantly recognize their age, name, effects, and even the interplay of the Five Elements within them.

"Ah? You’ve only seen them in books?"

Qin Xuan looked shocked. She knew that Chen Dashan was brilliant with acupuncture, but she hadn’t realized that he was so amazing that he could read about herbs once and then recognize and understand their effects—a true genius.

As she watched the side profile of Chen Dashan gazing out the window, Qin Xuan pursed her lips, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with a thousand stars.

"The next item is twenty-year-old Snow Skin Herb, with a starting bid of two hundred thousand yuan, and each bid must not be less than ten thousand yuan," the host announced.

Without hesitation, Chen Dashan hit the button on the table and said into the microphone, "210 thousand!"

One second!

Three seconds!

Five seconds!

No one else bid in the venue, and the Snow Skin Herb went into Chen Dashan’s possession.

After that, Chen Dashan successively bid on seven kinds of herbs. They were some less sought-after herbs that hardly anyone else bid on, and the prices were relatively reasonable. After the bidding, staff members would deliver the herbs to the private room.

Looking at the seven ladies wearing blue and white cheongsams, with pretty faces and curvaceous figures, uniformly dressed in white high heels, carrying red velvet trays with both hands, standing in a row inside the private room.

This scene was not much different from flight attendants pulling their trolleys to work at the airport.

A single beauty may catch your eye, but a row of beauties dressed in uniform, well-trained and standing before you, definitely attracts attention, and Chen Dashan couldn’t help but admire them a few extra times.

"The total is one million and seven hundred thousand!"

The staff member spoke, and Qin Xuan, with an indifferent expression, quickly took out a Black Card from her small purse and handed it to the staff member.

"Beep!"

The familiar electronic sound rang out, and a transaction of one million and seven hundred thousand yuan was successful.

The staff member handed the receipt to Qin Xuan and then politely exited, leaving the private room suddenly quiet, save for the scent of perfume filling the air, and the table now covered with brocade boxes.

Chen Dashan glanced at it and said, "This money..."

Before he could finish, Qin Xuan, with her orchid finger raised, quickly took a sip of tea and interrupted, "Haven’t I already said that? Whatever medicine you set your eyes on today, I will foot the bill!"

The young lady confidently lifted the corners of her mouth.

Squinting her eyes and taking another pleasant sip of her tea, she wore a look of sheer enjoyment, as if one million and seven hundred thousand yuan had no impact on her.

Chen Dashan shook his head helplessly.

His and Qin Xuan’s statuses were worlds apart; just a few months ago, the people from his village tried to drown him in a tank over twenty thousand yuan, a life Qin Xuan, born into such privilege, could never even imagine.

"By the way, Doctor Chen, are you buying these medicinal materials for treating someone?"

Qin Xuan set the bone china teacup on the table, looking at Chen Dashan with curious eyes.

Chen Dashan replied, "They’re for making Beautifying Pills, but right now I don’t have complete confidence. If I can make it, I will definitely give you two to try first."

"You will definitely succeed!"

Qin Xuan answered quickly, and seeing Chen Dashan look at her, she realized she had become too excited and hastened to explain, "I mean, Doctor Chen is so amazing, you have masterful knowledge of medicine, you will definitely succeed."

"I believe in you!"

The young lady’s cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with tender affection as she looked at Chen Dashan with a resolute expression.

Chen Dashan felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile, "If I do manage to work it out, would you be my spokesperson then?"

"Spokesperson?"

Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up, clearly very interested.

Chen Dashan leaned in close to Qin Xuan and said in a low voice, "Yes, if your picture were on a big billboard, even if my Beautifying Pill didn’t work, people would still want to try it."

"After all, who wouldn’t envy such a great beauty?"

A great beauty?

Upon hearing Chen Dashan’s words, Qin Xuan’s face turned beet red, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

Could it be that Doctor Chen also finds her beautiful?

Qin Xuan nervously looked down, quickly picking up the teacup beside her.

She had a fondness for Chen Dashan, an anticipation, longing for physical contact with him, that delightful feeling of warmth and safety, that fervent sensation, and with today’s interactions, her admiration for Chen Dashan’s knowledge and understanding of medicine had grown stronger.

Distracted, Qin Xuan’s teacup tilted slightly in her hand.

The warm tea suddenly splashed on her thigh: "Ah!"

Qin Xuan cried out, jumping up from her chair, as Chen Dashan hurried over anxiously, "What happened?"

"The tea... it’s spilled, it’s a bit hot..."

Before Qin Xuan could finish her sentence, Chen Dashan’s brow furrowed as he crouched down and lifted the skirt of Qin Xuan’s dress to her knees. Her skin was soft and milky white like cream, silky white and smooth, tight and elastic. Her long, straight, pale legs had a small patch of skin that was slightly reddened, like a red birthmark, very conspicuous on the snow-white skin.

Looking at Chen Dashan’s worried face, Qin Xuan pursed her lips and did not resist.

The two of them, one bending over, the other lifting the young lady’s skirt and crouching beside her, an ambiguous atmosphere spread throughout the room.

"Huff... huff, huff..."
