His voice was full of helplessness and fear.

Listening to this familiar voice, Su Yu concentrated and thought carefully, trying to search for its source in his memory.

Just as she was thinking hard, the man walked out from the inner room and their eyes met.

It turned out that this person was none other than Doctor Shen whom he had met by chance at the Qingshui Town Clinic yesterday. At this moment, he looked humble and submissive, in stark contrast to the arrogant attitude of the medicine boy yesterday.

Seeing this, Su Yu couldn't help but smile sarcastically, thinking to himself, "You can't judge a person by his appearance."

Doctor Shen obviously caught the sarcasm in Su Yu's eyes, and his heart was burning with anger.

He had just been scolded in the inner room and his emotions were on the verge of exploding. Facing Su Yu's ridicule, he could only suppress his anger and leave silently.

He happened to meet the village woman who had been seeing a doctor in his own clinic yesterday. There was a sarcastic smile on the woman's face, as if she was silently questioning his diagnosis yesterday.

Looking closely at the extremely ordinary and inconspicuous dandelions in her basket, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and a nameless fire rushed to his forehead.

He strode forward and viciously overturned the bamboo basket in Su Yu's hand.

"Don't you see how noble this place is? How dare you step into this place with just these few shabby herbs?"

His tone was arrogant, and his words were filled with undisguised contempt and disdain, as if he was declaring his extreme disdain for Su Yu's identity.

This sudden violence caught Su Yu off guard. The bamboo basket in his hand flew out of his hand as if swept by a strong wind and hit the ground heavily, making a dull and harsh impact sound.

She stared in astonishment, staring at the crazy man in front of her, thinking to herself: "Could this guy be crazy?"

The air around them froze instantly, and the crowd fell into an awkward and depressing silence.

Until a surprised cry broke through the suffocating atmosphere, "Oh, it's red Ganoderma!"

This exclamation was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and breaking the stalemate.

When Doctor Shen heard the voice, his heart suddenly tightened and his eyes turned sharply, fixed on the items scattered on the ground.

When he saw the mysterious object hidden under the basket and now exposed to the sun, his face changed drastically. In addition to being horrified, he secretly regretted: "Oh my God, why am I so ungrateful!"

Su Yu quickly leaned over to check her herbs. Fortunately, she had carefully placed several layers of herbs at the bottom of the basket as a buffer, so that the precious Ganoderma lucidum escaped the disaster without being damaged at all.

She swiftly picked up the scattered herbs one by one and reorganized them. Then she straightened her back, looked at the man with a sharp gaze, and asked him in a stern voice, "You took out your anger on my herbs after being scolded by others. Can you afford to pay for them if they are broken?"

At this moment, Doctor Shen was secretly thankful that the red Ganoderma lucidum was intact. After all, not being able to pay for it was one thing, but what he was more afraid of was angering the powerful owner behind him.

However, Su Yu obviously did not intend to give up. She continued to complain indignantly: "Yesterday when I went to your 'Xuanhu Medical Clinic', your apprentice treated me coldly. Today, you openly destroyed my property. You must give me an explanation!"

Doctor Shen was filled with regret at this moment. Who could have expected that this seemingly ordinary peasant woman actually had such a rare treasure in her hands.

He saw it clearly just now. It was the top-grade red Ganoderma lucidum that is rarely seen in a century!

The crowd watching around also saw it clearly. They were shocked and whispered to each other.

Upon seeing this, the shop assistant realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly ran into the inner room to report to Boss Zhou who was checking the goods.

Boss Zhou naturally heard the noise outside clearly. He didn't want to get involved in such disputes, but when he heard that a rare treasure had appeared, he decided to come out and find out for himself.

When he saw with his own eyes the glittering red Ganoderma lucidum in Su Yu's bamboo basket, his face suddenly changed and he raised his hand without hesitation.

He gave Zheng Jun a loud and crisp slap in the face.

"You are such a jerk, Zheng Jun. You always complain to me that you are poor and can't get good products from your store. What's going on? You drive customers away when they come to your store. I think you don't want to work anymore!"

Boss Zhou was furious and scolded in a stern voice.

Zheng Jun was so frightened by the slap that he saw stars and turned pale. His legs softened and he fell to his knees, begging for mercy: "Boss Zhou, I was blind and I know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

Su Yu's eyes were as sharp as torches, instantly locked onto Boss Zhou's face, which looked kind but was actually shrewd. She had already determined in her heart that this man was the one in charge of the business here.

In this case, it would be most appropriate for him to step forward and resolve this minor disturbance caused by misunderstanding.

As for how he reprimanded or punished the rude subordinate Zheng Jun, she had no interest in stopping to watch.

After all, she had only one purpose for this trip - to trade.

So, Su Yu spoke in a steady tone and sharp words, revealing a firmness that could not be questioned: "You can take your time to deal with your household affairs. Right now, it is more important to inspect the goods. My time is precious, so please forgive me for not waiting any longer."

Facing Su Yu's frank words, Boss Zhou not only did not show any anger, but instead smiled. That smile was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, rippling the lake and showing the businessman's tactfulness and sophistication.

He nodded and raised his hand, his wide sleeves swaying gently as he made a very humble gesture of invitation: "Okay, okay, young lady, you are absolutely right. This way, please!"

Su Yu walked calmly and followed Boss Zhou into the inner room.

Zheng Jun followed closely behind her, like a shadow, as if afraid of angering this seemingly weak but actually strong girl again.

He looked terrified, his eyes showing deep apology. He held up the teapot with both hands and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Su Yu. His words were full of pleading: "I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you will forgive me this time."

However, Su Yu did not appreciate it. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She pushed away the teacup handed to her by Zheng Jun without hesitation. Her tone was as indifferent as the cold wind sweeping across the winter wasteland: "I don't deserve it."

When Zheng Jun was pushed, the teapot in his hand shook, and a little tea splashed out and fell on the table, reflecting a wet luster.

His face turned paler, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he became more and more frightened.

In a hurry, he immediately changed his words, speaking quickly, trying to save the situation: "Since the young lady came to my store yesterday, I think she lives not far from the town. If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know, and I will do my best."

When Su Yu heard this, although his anger was still there, he also realized that it is better to reconcile a feud than to create one, and that one must leave room for maneuver when dealing with things.
