Chapter 229: Chapter 0229: Still a Hot Commodity

Elder Shen hadn’t laughed in a long time, but seeing the confident expression on Long Fei’s face, he knew Long Fei must have a medicinal prescription for treatment.

Not wanting to shortchange Long Fei, he directly said to him, "Young man, if you can cure my ailment, I certainly won’t let your efforts go to waste. Name your terms; as long as it’s not against the law, I can satisfy any request."

Shen Yan’er said, "Yes, Elder Long. Whatever reward you desire, feel free to speak up. Do you want money or an official position?"

Long Fei swallowed, thinking to himself that indeed, it’s true what they say about the grandeur of a wealthy family; their presence is absolutely firm.

He shook his head with the demeanor of someone from a family of distinction, "Elder Shen, as a healer, to talk of money and profit is vulgar. You have shed blood and earned merits for the country. If I were to take money from you, wouldn’t others curse at me to death!"

Lin Yingying sniffed, thinking to herself that this guy was really putting on airs.

Such a great opportunity, and he didn’t even try to seize it.

Elder Shen’s happiness grew by the minute. Looking at his granddaughter, he almost wished he could promise her hand in marriage to Long Fei on the spot.

Shen Yan’er anxiously asked, "So, Elder Long, you do have a method to treat my grandfather’s illness?"

Long Fei nodded, "Indeed, I have a prescription that replenishes qi and nourishes the blood, specifically to regulate the meridians. This is exactly what I drink when I am refining qi."

"May I ask, how much would Elder Long sell this prescription for?" she inquired, noticeably excited.

Typically, a medical prescription is the bread and butter of a practitioner, like those from Tong Ren Tang or Yun Nan Medicine.

A single prescription, even if offered a fortune, would not be exchanged.

She understood the value of this prescription—it could not only treat her grandfather’s illness, but she could also use it in her qi refinement practice.

Currently, she too had qi replenishing prescriptions, but they were all prescribed by common folk, and the medicinal effects were nowhere near as potent.

Long Fei smiled faintly, "Miss Shen, why are you talking to me about money again!"

He generously allowed Shen Yan’er to take out paper and brush, and upon spreading them out, he began to write with fluid grace.

All the ingredients listed were common items that one could buy at a Chinese medicine shop, with nothing bizarre or unusual.

He was using a calligraphy brush—a tool favored by traditional Chinese doctors to show off, almost all renowned Chinese medicine practitioners prefer to use this to write prescriptions.

Inherited from Gongsun Sheng, Long Fei’s strokes were as if assisted by the divine.

Although he had never practiced before, he wrote with impressive skill that astonished Shen Yan’er beside him.

Lin Yingying couldn’t help but approach and take a look from beside Long Fei.

There was surprise in her eyes; she hadn’t expected him to be so multi-talented and adept at brush calligraphy.

After finishing, he put down the brush and explained to Shen Yan’er, "In this recipe, ginseng is used to replenish qi. I know your family must have top-quality ginseng, but you mustn’t use it right at the start. Begin with ten-year-old ginseng, after a week switch to fifty-year-old, and after a month to a hundred-year-old. Elder Shen’s meridians are fragile, they must not be replenished aggressively, a gradual approach is necessary."

Shen Yan’er stared at the parchment covered in a list of Chinese medicinal herbs, each with their weight specified precisely to the gram.

Compared to her own qi replenishing prescriptions, the ingredients were the same, but the weights were different.

To the average person, it might be incomprehensible, but Shen Yan’er was no fool.

She knew that if this prescription were to be revealed, goodness knows how many from the Ancient Martial World would seek to purchase it.

The price could start in the tens of millions, maybe even reaching hundreds of millions.

She handed the prescription over to her grandfather for a look, and Elder Shen furrowed his brow, sharing his granddaughter’s thoughts.

Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes the harmony of Yin and Yang, so some medicinal ingredients are cold in nature, while others are warm.

A difference of even just a gram can significantly alter the overall heating or cooling effect of the medicine, affecting its efficacy.

Thus, some prescriptions may appear similar, but in the eyes of an expert, they are vastly different.

After reviewing the prescription, Elder Shen looked embarrassed, "Young man, why don’t you make some demands? Such a valuable thing, I really cannot accept it without giving something in return."

Shen Yan’er followed up, saying, "That’s right, Elder Long. My grandfather has never liked owing anyone in his life. Why don’t you make some requests?"

Long Fei glanced at Lin Yingying and casually said, "Well, in that case, I work at Director Lin’s side. If there really is a good opportunity, I hope you can give Lin’s Group a little more consideration."

"No problem!"

Both Shen Yan’er and Elder Shen chuckled.

The illness was examined, and the prescription was given.

Long Fei and Lin Yingying didn’t want to bother Elder Shen further, so they cupped their fists and bid him farewell.

Shen Yan’er saw the two out the door, suddenly asking Lin Yingying, "Director Lin, I heard that Elder Long is now in the company, serving as your bodyguard?"

"That’s correct!"

Lin Yingying nodded.

Shen Yan’er said earnestly, "Director Lin, no offense, but it is such a waste to have a man of Elder Long’s talents doing that job. If you have no objections, we can immediately offer Elder Long a position as the multinational general manager for the Asia-Pacific Region."

"Hm?"

Lin Yingying stared at her, a sense of wariness rising in her heart, and she thought to herself, could this girl have taken a fancy to Long Fei?

A woman’s intuition is very sharp, after all.

She declined politely, "The matters regarding Long Fei, he can decide for himself. If he has no objections, I naturally have no objections."

"That’s good to hear."

Shen Yan’er smiled, looking at Long Fei.

Long Fei cleared his throat twice, awkwardly rejecting the offer, "Miss Shen, I appreciate your kindness. However, I quite like my current job and have no intentions of changing it for the time being."

Shen Yan’er furrowed her brows, thinking that there are indeed such people.

Refusing a good job and preferring to be a bodyguard.

She thought that Long Fei might not realize the importance of this position and took the opportunity to remind him, "Elder Long, this general manager position offers an annual base salary of tens of millions. Think it over again."

Long Fei smiled bitterly, "Miss Shen, this really isn’t about money. To be honest, Director Lin and I had a childhood betrothal. I stay by her side to take care of her."

He decided to bring up this reason to avoid Shen Yan’er’s persistence.

Lin Yingying was stunned, staring blankly at Long Fei as her chest heaved.

Especially that last word, "take care!"

Her heart, which had always been strong, suddenly felt a sourness as if, all at once, she perceived a man’s presence.

Shen Yan’er was also surprised, having not expected such a relationship between Long Fei and Lin Yingying.

A hint of disappointment flashed across her face, but she didn’t insist further and congratulated them with a fist salute, "Then, I wish you both congratulations."

Long Fei and Lin Yingying both gave an awkward chuckle, and Shen Yan’er escorted them through the backyard, out the front yard gate.

A group of wealthy officials watched the two, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Seeing them laugh and talk with Shen Yan’er, they thought the two must have a significant connection with the Shen Family.

Shen Yan’er made a point of escorting them out for these people to see.

Her message couldn’t be clearer, "These two are under our Shen Family’s protection from now on; don’t even think about scheming against them."

There would be benefits to share with them as well.

For those in the political arena, the ability to read the situation is a given.

Several important figures in Binhai City have already instructed their secretaries to urgently schedule a meeting with Lin Yingying, intending to cultivate a good relationship with her at the first opportunity.
