After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Eat first, then talk after you finish."

Ye Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, but seeing that Old Madam Qin had already taken her seat and the dishes were being served, he temporarily suppressed the urge to ask questions.

Soon, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai went to the back hall.

From the other party's explanation, Ye Bai finally understood what had happened.

When Qin Wanqing went to purchase medicinal herbs before, she managed to buy most of them, but two rare ones were temporarily out of stock and needed to be shipped from elsewhere.

This wouldn't have been a problem originally, as those two medicinal herbs were only used in the last dose of medicine, so there was plenty of time.

But today, the herbal medicine merchant suddenly informed her that both of the herbs had been hoarded by a company called "Guangmang Pharmaceutical," and no matter how much he pleaded, they refused to sell them to him.

So in the end, he had no choice but to break his promise and leave Qin Wanqing to figure out a solution herself.

"Radiance Pharmaceuticals..."

Ye Bai frowned, feeling that this was getting a bit troublesome.

It's not that those two medicinal herbs can't be obtained from elsewhere, it's just that we're only telling them now that we don't have them, and time is suddenly a bit tight.

The last dose of medicine should not be taken too long apart, so that the previous medicines will not become less effective.

If the time is exceeded, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced, and it will not achieve the effect that Ye Bai wants.

Otherwise, he could have gone into the mountains to search for it himself.

Are you sure that Guangmang Pharmaceuticals has those two medicinal herbs?

Ye Bai pondered for a moment, then looked at Qin Wanqing and asked.

"Sure!"

Qin Wanqing nodded. She had a good relationship with the herbal medicine merchant, so he would naturally not lie to her about such an important matter.

"This Guangmang Pharmaceutical is a bit strange. Nobody knows who the chairman is, and the legal representative of the company is an unknown woman. I asked many people, and they all said they didn't know her."

Qin Wanqing said with a hint of helplessness.

She knew, if not all, of the prominent entrepreneurs in Jingzhou, but at least she could find someone to contact.

After all, we're all in the business world, so it's impossible for us not to interact with each other.

However, Guangmang Pharmaceuticals is quite special. Not only is its chairman extremely mysterious, but he also hardly interacts with the business community in Jingzhou.

All business operations are handled by a single business unit.

Qin Wanqing also called that business department and even went there in person, hoping to buy those two medicinal herbs at a high price.

However, they were told that those medicinal herbs were also in urgent need of Guangming Pharmaceutical, so they would not be sold, no matter how much money was offered.

As for Qin Wanqing and the Qin family's reputation, it was of no use whatsoever.

According to the business department of Guangmang Pharmaceutical, even the Admiral himself couldn't make a difference.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Guangmang Pharmaceutical must have a very powerful background, at least as powerful as the Admiral."

Qin Wanqing offered her own judgment.

In the business world of Jingzhou, Guangmang Pharmaceutical is the only company that dares to show such disrespect to the Qin family.

"Okay, I'll figure something out. You go about your work."

Ye Bai nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Silent all night.

The following morning, Ye Bai had Shen Lu drive him straight to a medicinal herb wholesale center called "Baicaotang".

The Yang family's businesses here are not the Yang family owned by Yang Tianju, but the Yang family owned by Yang Guangyao.

Ye Bai's second uncle, who was also a businessman, was in the medicinal herb business.

Ye Bai wanted to try and see if he could get the other party to help him think of a solution.

Although there wasn't much of a familial bond between him and Yang Guangyao, it was probably still possible to treat it as a business deal.

As long as it can be obtained, a high price is no object, since Queen Qin is not short of money anyway.

More importantly, the Ye family now needs the Qin family's help, and those two medicinal herbs are for treating Old Madam Qin's illness. If Yang Guangyao has a way, he should spare no effort.

This is a perfect opportunity to please Old Madam Qin, even better than giving her a resort.

Unfortunately, Ye Bai didn't have Yang Guangyao's phone number, so he had to come here in person.

"Young master, look who's that?"

Ye Bai and Shen Lu had just parked their car in the parking lot when the little girl called out softly.

Ye Bai looked in that direction and saw Qin Wanqing's aunt Qin Yuemei and her cousin Tian Yurou.

The two had just gotten out of the car and were walking towards the elevator.

However, unlike the last time they met, the mother and daughter were dressed rather plainly today, and they also seemed rather furtive.

If it weren't for Tian Yurou's presence, Ye Bai would have suspected that Qin Yuemei was here to secretly meet her lover.

"Let's go."

Ye Bai didn't pay much attention to Qin Yuemei and her daughter. He wasn't familiar with them, and their relationship was quite bad.

Ye Bai vividly remembers the performance of this aunt when Old Madam Qin vomited blood and fell into a coma a couple of days ago.

He had to admit that none of the high-ranking members of the Qin family were easy to deal with.

They are extremely talented, at least in acting.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. If these guys couldn't act, Old Madam Qin wouldn't have allowed them into the Qin Group, thus hindering Qin Wanqing.

Baicaotang is actually a medicinal herb wholesale market. It occupies a large area, but it is not tall, with only three floors.

The first floor is for wholesale medicinal herbs, the second floor is for office space, and the third floor is for warehouses to store the medicinal herbs.

Soon, Ye Bai found Yang Guangyao, the general manager of Baicaotang, on the second floor.

Although he lived and ate at the Ye family's house, Yang Guangyao still needed to come here to work at other times.

"Xiao Bai, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Upon seeing Ye Bai, Yang Guangyao was taken aback, but his attitude was not enthusiastic.

Ye Bai was merely an adopted son of the Ye family and had no blood relation to the Yang family whatsoever.

Although Yang Guangyao was also the other party's second uncle, it was only in name.

Moreover, Yang Guangyao disliked Ye Bai from the day he was adopted by the Ye family.

He was always worried that Ye Bai would take away the family property that originally belonged to his nephew Ye Xuanyuan, especially since, in a sense, an adopted son also has the right to inherit.

"Second Uncle, I've come to ask you for a favor..."

Ye Bai didn't take Yang Guangyao's attitude to heart and said with a smile.

Whether others like him or not is not important, especially since he has now essentially left the Ye family.

Judging from the current situation, as long as Ye Xuanyuan doesn't give up on Qin Wanqing, he will eventually have a falling out with her.

At that time, Yang Guangyao will definitely stand on Ye Xuanyuan's side without hesitation.

"Ask me for a favor? You, the son-in-law of the Qin family who is favored by Old Madam Qin, would you need a nobody like me?"

Yang Guangyao couldn't help but laugh strangely.

Although he knew that Ye Bai was responsible for Ye Xuanyuan's arrest, the fact that the Ye family suddenly offered the Mingtai Resort as a gift to the Qin family made Yang Guangyao's heart bleed.

In Yang Guangyao's view, Ye Bai was inextricably linked to the Ye family's enormous losses.

If Ye Bai could plead with Old Madam Qin, the Ye family could obtain the Qin family's help at a very low cost.

Ye Bai, as the adopted son of the Ye family, refused to stand up for the Ye family at crucial moments. This is a classic case of ingratitude and a complete ingrate!

It's utterly ridiculous that they still have the audacity to ask him for help at this point.
