Chapter 98: Chapter 98: I’ll come back to give you acupuncture next time

Following behind, Qin Hailong hurriedly spoke: "These were all prepared according to your prescription. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, Miss Qin can continue to drink this decoction."

Chen Dashan pondered for a moment and said: "I remember that the ingredients in this decoction include twenty-year-old cork and ten-year-old achyranthes, which are rare in the market."

Recently, Chen Dashan had been thinking of studying prescriptions himself: one was to invest in Wang Shiman’s pharmaceutical factory, and the other was to try alchemy on his own, both of which required ingredients.

"Hahaha..."

Qin Hailong’s expression was somewhat proud as he touched his chin and said: "Divine Doctor Chen might not know, but in the entire Furong County, there’s no medicinal ingredient that I, Qin Hailong, can’t obtain!"

Chen Dashan looked at Qin Hailong with slight astonishment.

This boast was quite large; it seemed that the Qin family truly had some capabilities.

Qin Hailong continued: "If Divine Doctor Chen needs any medical ingredients, you can leave it to me. I’ll have my people handle it. Rest assured."

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony!"

Chen Dashan really did urgently need ingredients; alchemy could enhance cultivation. Lately, his advancement had been slow, and he had to find other methods.

Qin Hailong quickly brought paper and pen, letting Chen Dashan write down the names of the ingredients.

"Please do your best to acquire these ingredients for me. I’ll pay any price if you can find them!"

Chen Dashan handed the paper and pen to Qin Hailong, who quickly said: "Don’t worry. Divine Doctor Chen is my daughter’s lifesaver. This small task is nothing. I only hope you can come more often and cure Xuanxuan’s illness completely. I’ll be eternally grateful!"

After a few more pleasantries, Qin Hailong personally saw Chen Dashan out and then called Qin Fu to send him back.

Before leaving, Qin Hailong informed Chen Dashan of a medicinal ingredient appraisal conference happening soon, where nearby herbal merchants and renowned doctors from various places would be present. Chen Dashan might find it worthwhile to attend.

Watching Chen Dashan leave, Qin Hailong turned and went back inside.

Seeing that his daughter and wife had not come downstairs yet, he eagerly wanted to know his daughter’s condition and hurriedly ran upstairs.

Even before reaching Qin Xuan’s room, he heard his daughter’s slightly excited voice: "You don’t know how miraculous it was at that moment!"

"Doctor Chen inserted a needle into my leg, right here... It suddenly felt like there was an electric current inside. I was so scared at the time..."

"Hahaha..."

Hearing his daughter’s joyful laughter, Qin Hailong couldn’t help but smile. It had been many years since their home felt this happy.

Qin Hailong took a deep breath and stepped into Qin Xuan’s room.

At that moment, Qin Xuan was wearing white cartoon pajamas, with her hair tied back by a pink headband. Her lively big eyes looked towards the door, smiling: "Daddy, you’re here!"

She then turned her head back to look at Mrs. Qin, who was sitting on the bed, and said: "Really, Doctor Chen is the most incredible doctor I’ve ever seen."

"None of the previous doctors’ acupuncture felt like this."

Mrs. Qin nodded with a smile as she held a small porcelain bowl of medicinal soup: "As long as it can cure your illness!"

"Come, drink the medicine!"

"I don’t want to, I don’t want to..."

Qin Xuan frowned, pinched her little nose, and shook her head like a rattle. Mrs. Qin felt helpless and turned to Qin Hailong: "You do it!"

Qin Hailong took the medicinal soup, laughing softly: "This is what Doctor Chen prescribed for you. If you don’t drink it, he won’t come next time for acupuncture."

Thinking of Chen Dashan’s handsome face and solid chest, Qin Xuan’s heart raced. She looked at Qin Hailong with big, watery eyes, and asked seriously: "Really?"

Before Qin Hailong could respond, Qin Xuan grabbed the medicinal soup, frowned, and drank it all in one go.

Seeing their daughter drink the soup, the couple left Qin Xuan’s room one after the other, with Mrs. Qin closing the door behind her.

"Who exactly is this Chen Dashan?"

Mrs. Qin frowned, worry in her eyes as she looked back at Qin Xuan’s room and continued: "It’s the first time I’ve seen Xuanxuan so obedient."

Both of them had experienced life; they could easily understand their daughter’s change.

Qin Xuan had been in poor health since childhood, pampered and spoiled by both parents, who granted her every wish. Her pure personality made Mrs. Qin somewhat concerned.

"It’s normal for her to listen to her lifesaver."

Qin Hailong didn’t take it to heart as he continued: "This Chen Dashan is impressive, being so young yet with exceptional medical skills. Just one acupuncture session, and Xuanxuan’s complexion is almost that of a healthy person. Today’s state is the best I have ever seen. You should be happy, we’ve encountered a great person, our savior!"

Mrs. Qin nodded: "When it comes to medical skills, he surely must have had high-level guidance, otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved such accomplishments at such a young age. Our daughter’s illness depends on him. For these reasons alone, we must never offend Chen Dashan."

Qin Hailong nodded.

He wholeheartedly agreed with his wife’s words. Seeing that Qin Hailong was about to leave, Mrs. Qin quickly caught up with a few steps and said: "There’s one more thing you mustn’t forget. Chen Dashan is Wang Shiman’s sworn brother; their relationship is extraordinary. Regarding this order, I think we should give it all to Wang Shiman. First, Wang Shiman can speak kindly of us, and second, this will show Chen Dashan our intentions."

"Good idea. I’ll arrange it right away!"

Qin Hailong continued: "I’ve already thought of everything you said, and I’ve invited Chen Dashan to the upcoming medicinal ingredient appraisal conference. Since he’s interested, we should cater to his preferences."

The couple agreed with each other wholeheartedly.

"Creak!"

Suddenly, Qin Xuan’s door opened, and she poked her head out from behind it. The couple looked at their daughter in surprise.

Qin Xuan said with an embarrassed smile: "Can I go to the appraisal conference too?"

"I haven’t been out for so long. I’m almost going moldy. Daddy... can you take me there?"

Qin Xuan pouted; Qin Hailong never could resist his daughter’s pleading.

He could only helplessly agree, realizing that his earlier words had all been eavesdropped on by this girl.

...

Qin Fu drove Chen Dashan back to the Vienna Hotel and then left.

Treating illnesses was also exhausting, and while Chen Dashan had intended to return and rest, he remembered Zhang Xuewen’s call from that morning, mentioning that the old village chief’s son, Zhang Xueyi, would be bringing villagers to the company to make deliveries.

If people from Stone Village were coming, Chen Dashan definitely had to go and see them.

Moreover, with Chen’s Fruit Company just founded, as the behind-the-scenes boss, it wouldn’t be proper to neglect it.

With these considerations, Chen Dashan went to the hotel parking lot, got into his van, and headed to the company’s office. The store was near the fruit wholesale market, with the office nearby.

Furong County wasn’t large, but there were still wealth gaps. For example, where Chen Dashan lived, there were upscale office buildings and residential areas, whereas the fruit store was in the old town, surrounded by urban villages and early landmark buildings.

Finding a location on short notice meant opting for a crowded place, hoping for future development.
