Chapter 66
Originally it was to show off, but it was unexpected that the old man’s illness had just gotten better, and now he didn’t care what he got him, he just gave a gentle hmmm and continued to chat enthusiastically with Haoden Ye.
Zheng Lin’s eyes had a shade of shade, glanced viciously at Haoden Ye, quickly had the gift brought over, held it in front of the old man’s eyes with both hands and smiled, “Grandpa, look at this is the good zizhi I found for you!”
Zi Zhi is a wild type of Ganoderma lucidum, very expensive and rare.
The old man was really interested, with a look of surprise on his face.
At this time, the other people inside the lobby heard the two purple lingzhi and cast their eyes over.
You know, purple Lingzhi is very rare, a few of them are also very expensive, a palm-sized Purple Lingzhi would cost three to four million.
I’m afraid that only a rich entrepreneur like Zheng Tai could get such an expensive gift.
For a while, everyone cast their eyes towards that gift box, their eyes filled with envy.
The old man slowly opened the box, and a child’s palm-sized Zi Zhi appeared in everyone’s eyes.
“Worthy of being the son of the second oldest family, so generous!”
“This Zizhi must be a million at the very least, Little Lin is really dedicated to the old man!”
The crowd was talking, and Zheng Lin, a smug smile on his lips, quickly glanced at Haoden Ye.
And Zheng Tai also glanced at Zheng Guo, with provocation in his eyes.
Zheng Guo sensed his brother’s gaze, his face was a bit embarrassed, he was an official with two sleeves, and others didn’t dare to accept gifts, so of course the gifts couldn’t take much expensive.
Just at this time, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
“Master, Zizhi, this kind of medicine is suitable for young people to take, you should produce some milder herbs!” Haoden Ye’s face was serious to the old man.
Hearing this, Zheng Tai and Zheng Lin’s faces immediately turned ugly, especially Zheng Lin, who couldn’t hide the anger in his eyes anymore.
“Hmph! Big words, grandpa is in good health, what’s wrong with eating some lingzhi?” Zheng Lin was furious.
When the old man heard him, he frowned slightly and reprimanded Zheng Lin, “Little Lin, don’t talk to Mr. Ye like that!”
Zheng Lin was reprimanded by him and felt even angrier, but he didn’t dare to squeak.
Haoden Ye didn’t mean to make Zheng Lin and his son look bad, what he said was the truth.
Zi Zhi was a great tonic, forty to fifty people ate it to prolong their lives and benefit their bodies, but the elderly ate it but instead it was harmful, the medicine could not be absorbed at all, but affected their body functions.
Zheng Lin thought about it and was unhappy, suddenly he thought of something, a smirk on his lips, “Mr. Ye said so, is there a better gift?”
The crowd snickered at the sound of this, while Old Master Zheng and Zheng Guo frowned.
Haoden Ye was not a rich man at a glance, so what kind of gift could he take out for Old Master Ye?
Even if you can get it, can it be more expensive than what Zheng Lin gave the old man? With this comparison, Haoden Ye naturally compared Zheng Lin down.
Haoden Ye did have one thing to give to the old man, but when he heard that Zheng Lin had the intention to compare himself, Haoden Ye was not good enough to take it out.
He didn’t want to have any conflict with a rich second generation like Zheng Lin who spoke out with a golden key in his mouth, and thought for a moment, “A few days ago, Mayor Zheng bothered me to find some tonic suitable for the old master, and I just had the chance to get one!” Haoden Ye said, taking out a small box from his pocket.
The small box was about the size of a palm, and it was not at all conspicuous in the pocket.
When people heard this, they looked at the small box, and this look many people couldn’t help but sneer again.
This packaging was too rustic, not to mention compared to Zheng Lin’s, it couldn’t even be compared to the gifts that many guests brought.
Zheng Lin had a sneer on his lips as he said in his heart, “Even if you send this kind of cheap goods to grandpa, you still have to say that it was entrusted to you by Uncle Shi, now even uncle’s face is lost!”
When Zheng Guo saw the small box, his face was also a bit ugly, but he wasn’t mad at Haoden Ye, he knew that Haoden Ye also had good intentions, but was just a more honest person and didn’t think comprehensively.
Now all Zheng Guo wanted was for Haoden Ye Qian Wan not to take out something too cheap to get off the stage!
Out of everyone, only Master Zheng was very happy to see the gift.
With his status, he hadn’t seen any expensive gifts, he didn’t care no matter how good they were from others, but instead, he liked it the most from Haoden Ye, someone who knew how to heal.
“Haha! Boss has a heart!” The old man laughed, took the small box from Haoden Ye’s hand, and slowly opened it.
A grayish-white stone appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, the stone was about the size of a walnut, the surface was uneven, and looking at the color, it was like a randomly picked limestone from the mountain.
“Er…” even the old man was dumbfounded now, the gift Haoden Ye chose for himself was a rock?
Zheng Lin almost laughed out loud when he saw the gift, but his face pretended to be angry, “Surnamed Ye, what do you mean, my grandfather is celebrating his birthday and you’re fast stones to him?”
Zheng Guo’s face also became very ugly, and his mind was wondering about excuses to help Haoden Ye explain.
Hearing Zheng Lin’s words, Haoden Ye didn’t look half panicked, instead, he smiled slightly and reached out to hold the stone in his hands, breaking it with both hands!
The small stone was actually easily broken open by him, and the inside was clearly visible, but he saw that beneath the general surface of the stone was a flesh-colored, glittering gemstone, and at the very center, there was a red heart the size of a small thumb.
“Red Heart Dog Treasure!” Among the guests present, one who had been in the herbal business recognized this thing and couldn’t help but shout out in surprise.
Hearing his words, everyone’s face changed.
The Red Heart Dog Treasure was something they had heard of, but no one had ever seen it because it was too rare to have a market, so unless someone told them, they really couldn’t recognize it.
Zheng Tai’s father and son’s faces became ugly, the Zi Zhi they gave away was indeed expensive, but compared to this Red Heart Dog Treasure, it was far from it, and it was more suitable for Old Master Zheng, the medicine was mild.
The old man had never heard of the Red Heart Dog Treasure, but when he saw the surprised looks of the crowd he also knew that it was something good, he smiled and said, “Mr. Ye has taken the trouble, let’s give this lingzhi to Mr. Ye.”
Hearing the old man’s words, the crowd revealed envious looks at Haoden Ye.
However, to the crowd’s surprise, Haoden Ye waved his hand and refused, “Old Master, this gift was asked by Mayor Zheng to help me find it, it should be considered a congratulatory gift from Mayor Zheng, I can’t take your gift!”
Haoden Ye gave an even better gift than Zheng Lin, Zheng Guo’s face was also very bright, his heart was very grateful to Haoden Ye, and was even more happy to hear this, he smiled and said, “Mr. Ye, take it if the old man gives it to you, our family is not lacking in this!”
Chapter 67
This remark made Zheng Lin look very ugly, but he didn’t dare to get angry.
Haoden Ye had no choice but to accept the gift and thanked Old Master Zheng repeatedly.
Zheng Lin looked really nasty, Haoden Ye not only stole his limelight, but now he even stole the old man’s joy.
“Dad, it looks like you and Mr. Ye are very close, why don’t you have him come often to check you out in the future!” At this time, Zheng Guo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone turned pale and looked over at Old Master Zheng.
The Zheng family and the guests all knew that the old man used to be an old revolutionary with a stubborn personality that wouldn’t submit to old age, and the two sons of the Zheng family repeatedly wanted to find him a caregiver he didn’t want, and the family’s younger generation slightly leaked the idea of coming over to take care of him, and the old man lost his temper.
Now Zheng Guo even proposed to let Haoden Ye, a person who knows medical skills, take care of Zheng old man, the old man is still not angry?
However, what no one expected was that Master Zheng was not only not angry, but very happy to hear it, and laughed, “Good, just don’t know if it will trouble Mr. Ye!”
Inside and outside the hall, all the Zheng family members and guests heard this and immediately showed envious looks towards Haoden Ye.
But Zheng Tai Zheng Lin and his father and son had very ugly faces, especially Zheng Lin, he was the pride of the Zheng family and often used all means to please the old master, but even so, he couldn’t even take care of the old master if he wanted to come often, never thought that Haoden Ye would have such good luck.
At this time, someone from outside said that the banquet was ready, and only then did Master Zheng get up and go to the banquet under the crowd of people.
The resort’s scenery was chic, it also covered a large area, and the restaurant design was very close to nature.
When we arrived at the banquet, Zheng Tai was just about to sit down next to the old man, but the old man suddenly pulled him down and said, “You and your brother go sit next to each other, and let Xiao Lin and Mr. Ye sit next to me!”
Zheng Tai heard that, his face slightly changed, it was always him and his big brother who used to sit next to the old master, how come he let Haoden Ye sit next to the old master today.
Zheng Lin was less a member of the Zheng family, and Haoden Ye wasn’t even a member of the Zheng family, what did the old man do, what did the other juniors of the Zheng family think?
Zheng Lin listened to the heart is also odd, with his own position in the Zheng family, also want to please in a hundred ways in sitting next to grandpa, Haoden Ye who has this qualification?
Natural Zheng old man since this arrangement, he didn’t dare to speak and sat down honestly.
Haoden Ye also felt surprised by the old master’s arrangement, especially when he felt those envious eyes of the guests and the Zheng family’s juniors, he was even more on pins and needles, and subconsciously cast his eyes towards Zheng Guo.
Of course Zheng Guo wouldn’t object, Haoden Ye could be said to have raised his face today, and even nodded to Haoden Ye, who had no choice but to sit down next to the old man.
“In terms of Chinese medicine in Dan City, the most famous one is the Spirit Medicine Hall, Mr. Ye is so skilled in medicine, how come I haven’t heard of your name in the Spirit Medicine Hall before!” The crowd sat down, Master Zheng immediately laughed to Haoden Ye.
Before Haoden Ye opened his mouth, Zheng Guo was already laughing, “Dad, Mr. Ye is not a doctor, he’s just a brilliant doctor, his medical skills are even admired by Professor Hua from the Spiritual Medicine Hall, and he has also taught Professor Hua a set of needle techniques!”
At the table, there were also many people who were very curious about Haoden Ye, not understanding how someone so capable could be dressed so poorly.
Hearing Zheng Guo’s words, everyone couldn’t help but look surprised.
“Do you even want to consult Mr. Ye, even the Hua Divine Doctor?” The old man was also dumbfounded at what he heard.
Professor Hua was not only a ranked Chinese medicine sage in Dan City, but also in China, and even he wanted to learn acupuncture from Haoden Ye, if it wasn’t for the fact that this was said by Zheng Guo, the vice mayor, no one would have believed it.
“Expert in the folk, this thing really isn’t fake!” Old Master Zheng exclaimed, “It seems that this little friend Ye is even more profound than I thought!”
Haoden Ye was being looked at by so many people with astonished gazes, especially since these people were still prominent and respectable figures in the business world of Dan City, and his face couldn’t help but blush.
I’m afraid that any one of these people would be someone that he or even the Shen family couldn’t afford to offend ah!
“Looking at Ye’s grade, it shouldn’t be too big, I wonder if he’s married!” Master Zheng didn’t know what came to mind, his gaze forgot the table of female relatives.
The Zheng family is big, the relatives of Batangas are also here today, there are quite a few girls in the younger generation, and there are quite a few who are almost as old as Haoden Ye, and they don’t look bad.
The people at the dining table all turned pale upon hearing this, and even Zheng Guo stared.
What’s wrong with the old man’s business today, having Haoden Ye, an outsider sitting at the main table, and still being a matchmaker for his own junior?
Haoden Ye was also shocked and quickly said, “Old Master, I’m already married!”
Master Zheng’s eyes inside the disappointment flickered and nodded gently.
Zheng Guo saw that the old man was very much in love with Haoden Ye’s talent, he smiled and said, “Ye old brother is also too unkind, why didn’t you tell me when you have younger siblings, younger siblings at home as a full time wife or outside business, do you need me to arrange a career position?”
Haoden Ye laughed bitterly at this, if someone had said this to him when Maya Shen had just graduated, he wouldn’t even be able to hold his head up in front of his wife now.
“Thank you Mayor Zheng for your concern, she’s now working as a business director in a company!” Haoden Ye hurriedly said.
“Oh, so that’s how it is!” Old Master Zheng smiled and turned to Zheng Tai, “The second oldest Hongtai company is also considered a big enterprise in the city, there is a chance to help out Ye’s wife.”
Zheng Tai because his son was stolen by Haoden Ye, of course he didn’t have a good face towards Haoden Ye, he just coped with the news with a hmmm and said, “It depends on the size of their company, our company also has thousands of people to support, if the business is too small, it’s not easy to do!”
Master Zheng’s brow furrowed at this, his face flashing.
“What’s going badly! The company you run, it’s only because of my connections that it’s grown? How come now that the company is bigger, you look down on other small companies?” Old Master Zheng was a hot tempered man, a little bit goes a long way: “Today, Little Friend Ye cured my hidden illness for many years so that your old man can live for two more years, aren’t you happy?”
Zheng Tai’s face fell bitterly as he laughed bitterly, “Dad! That’s not what I meant, I meant that we have to take the long view on this!”
“Fine, you’ll just take the long way out, long enough for me to break, so you don’t have to plan!” Master Zheng saw that his second son still didn’t get the hang of it and pounded the table to start a fire.
Chapter 68
“Penis! Since you started the company, which time you ran into a problem and didn’t come to Dad and me for help, why is it that Dad is now making it difficult for you by making some demands on you?” Zheng Guo saw that the old man was angry and also took out his big brother’s authority to rage.
Zheng Tai’s heart was festering, but his face could only walk out with a pleasing smile: “Good, I’ll start working on this this this afternoon!” Inwardly, I smirked, “Just get a few million dollars of random projects to deal with.”
“Hmph!” The old man snorted, which is why he said, “I’m not going to force you, just get any project worth tens of millions of dollars!”
“What! Tens of millions!” Zheng Tai was wide-eyed at that time, but thinking of the old man’s angry appearance, he didn’t dare to let out a single fart.
Zheng Lin was on the sidelines watching Master Zheng treat Haoden Ye so well, his jealousy could no longer hold back, muffled to Master Zheng, “Grandpa, you also didn’t ask which company Mr. Ye’s wife is in, in case their business is not compatible with my father’s company it’s not good! There’s so much pressure on businesses to compete, my dad can’t just take out tens of millions to invest in an industry he doesn’t understand!”
This is the reasoning behind his words, I thought the old man would listen to his heart, unexpectedly the old man listened, his face immediately plastered up, vicious stare at him: “You did not ask, how to know the wrong? You’re just like your father, you don’t have the same vision or heart as grandpa me!”
Zheng Lin listened with a pale face, such an accusation of his own junior, but Old Master Zheng said it in public.
In the past, although Master Zheng liked to train his juniors, they were all trained privately, and he didn’t worry about others hearing about any of his shortcomings.
Now the old master was clearly slapping his own face in public, making Zheng Lin look very ugly.
Haoden Ye saw that the Zheng family was unhappy because of his matter and quickly explained, “Zheng Shao, don’t worry, the company my wife is in isn’t small, it has a partnership with the Holander Group, and the Holander Group has just recently invested one billion in their company!”
The whole room was shocked by this statement!
What is the company Holander’s Group? That’s one of the biggest companies in the country, so what’s worse for the company they’re looking at?
No matter how many people pour money to want to cooperate with the Holander’s group can’t, the Holander’s group even took the initiative to invest one billion to the company where Haoden Ye’s wife is, it shows that this company really has a future!
Thinking of this, many people were looking at Haoden Ye with very strange eyes.
His own wife was the business director of such a promising company, and he had a brilliant medical skill, how come such a person was dressed so poorly, this was a bit too low key!
The old man was also full of shock at what he heard, turning his head to stare at Zheng Tai and his son, “Listen to this, Face Holander’s group have approved of other people’s companies, let you work with them you are still unwilling!”
Zheng Tai and his son’s faces this thing was hard to see, if Haoden Ye had been hitting their faces with the old man’s fondness since just now, now it was hitting their faces with strength.
The two of them hated Haoden Ye with a passion, but they couldn’t let out a single fart.
“Mr. Ye is young and promising, I don’t know where he’s high up!” Zheng Lin couldn’t get angry and started attacking Haoden Ye.
Haoden Ye was stunned and looked embarrassed.
“I… I opened a two-dollar store,” Haoden Ye was embarrassed.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Someone as capable as Haoden Ye in their eyes must be working as a doctor in one of the big hospitals, or opening a large private clinic himself, or at the very least, working as a teacher in Chinese medicine in one of the schools!
In fact, Haoden Ye had just said that he wasn’t a doctor, but a lot of people didn’t take that seriously at that time.
How come he only opened a two dollar store?
When Zheng Lin asked this, he didn’t expect Haoden Ye to answer like this, he thought that Haoden Ye was at most just a doctor in a large hospital, and that he could compare him with a little bit of his own qualifications, but he never expected that Haoden Ye was just a guy who ran a two dollar store.
“Ahem! It turns out that Mr. Ye is a businessman, I wonder how much water is flowing in Mr. Ye’s shop? At least a few million a day!” This sentence is obviously sarcastic, two-dollar store open again to play, a day at most hundreds of thousands of streams.
Zheng Lin clearly this is to ridicule Haoden Ye it, in doing as long as the business, which company a day is not hundreds of thousands of streams?
When Master Zheng heard this, his face darkened and he grunted, “Heroes don’t ask about their origins, Liu Bei used to sell straw shoes, and your grandfather I wasn’t a cattle herder before!”
Although there was the words of the old man Zheng, the crowd in the doing was cold towards Haoden Ye.
These days, no matter how capable you are, what’s the use of having no money or power? Your own wife is still the business director of a company, but you’re just a guy who runs a two dollar store, so isn’t that a soft job?
“Grandpa’s right!” Zheng Lin was proud of himself, but he had an apologetic look on his face, “Mr. Ye is a brilliant doctor, this two-dollar store should usually just be taken care of by someone else, with your medical skills, you should be a Chinese medicine teacher at some university.”
Zheng Guo listened to his words clearly mocking Haoden Ye, if Haoden Ye was a teacher at the university, he wouldn’t have said he was opening a two dollar store just now, he looked unhappy, “Xiao Lin! You’ve seen Mr. Ye’s medical skills, if he wants to, what’s wrong with going to teach college students, people don’t go because they just don’t want to!”
It was good that he didn’t say it, but once he said this, the hearts of the people here despised Haoden Ye even more.
It was as if Haoden Ye was receiving attention from everyone, and was completely relying on the two people, Old Master Zheng and Zheng Guo, to back him up.
“I do work in a school as a guest lecturer, but I don’t teach traditional Chinese medicine, but feng shui!” Haoden Ye also realized that he had embarrassed Zheng Guo with his two-dollar store, and quickly said what he could get the most out of it.
Everyone was stunned at what they heard, and even Zheng Guo revealed a surprised look.
“Oh! Does Ye still know feng shui?” Master Zheng’s face softened a bit and he smiled, “Chinese medicine and feng shui, but they’re both national treasures, and few people nowadays value nationalism as much as Ye!”
When the crowd heard his words, they looked much better towards Haoden Ye, at least Haoden Ye was considered a scholar level person.
Zheng Lin secretly hated in his heart, his lips sneered, “I see, I wonder if Mr. Ye is highly educated in that school? I’m pursuing a master’s degree from Danville University, so maybe we’re at the same school!”
After saying that he was sneering in his heart, but he knew that none of the famous universities in Dan City had a feng shui major, Haoden Ye should just be a guest lecturer at a third-rate, or even unranked university.
“Fury University!” Haoden Ye listened to his words and replied incessantly.
“What!” Everyone was pale!
