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

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask Mr. Ye if he attended the auction in Donghe Community yesterday?"

Gong Baiwan took a sip of tea, looked at Ye Bai, and smiled.

"Yes, I did a charity event with Wanqing."

Ye Bai nodded, starting to wonder what this guy's purpose was.

Fortunately, Gong Baiwan didn't mince words and asked directly, "I heard that Mr. Ye bought a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum at the auction yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai suddenly understood why the other party had come.

When he took the picture yesterday, everyone probably thought it was just a normal century-old Ganoderma lucidum. While this kind of medicinal material is indeed rare, it is not enough to make a large pharmaceutical company value it so much.

Especially since the CEO himself had to take charge!

Could it be that Huanyu Pharmaceuticals also recognized that the so-called "century-old Ganoderma lucidum" was actually a piece of nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum?

If that's the case, then Gong Baiwan certainly has a reason to come in person.

Such precious medicinal materials are so rare that they might only be encountered once every few decades. Their value is beyond measure in monetary terms.

How did Huanyu Pharmaceuticals identify it? Did they see it in the videos recorded by those reporters?

But how many people in the world possess such amazing eyesight?

Is there really a mastermind behind Huanyu Pharmaceuticals? Could it be the mysterious Mr. Nangong?

As his thoughts raced, Ye Bai nodded and said, "Yes, I did take a picture of one."

With so many people at yesterday's auction and the video recording, it's impossible to deny what happened.

"Is that thing still there?"

Gong Baiwan became visibly excited, and even his breathing became more rapid.

"It's still there, but..."

Ye Bai began to hesitate.

"Mr. Ye, rest assured, as long as you are willing to transfer that Ganoderma lucidum to me, you can name your price!"

Gong Baiwan became increasingly excited and stood up.

Seeing this, Ye Bai's expression became even more peculiar.

Is this CEO Gong really the head of Huanyu Pharmaceuticals? His composure is really lacking.

While not everyone has the ability to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them, those prominent figures in business and politics have honed their composure to a high degree.

Those who are easily startled are usually ordinary people with no real skills.

"Xiao Bai, it's just a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. If you don't find it useful, I think you can transfer it to President Gong. With President Gong's generosity, I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."

Chen Jingmei chimed in.

“Uh… Logically speaking, since Aunt Chen has said so, I should definitely give President Gong face. However, President Gong, you're a step too late…”

Ye Bai sighed with a worried expression, but he became increasingly certain that the relationship between Chen Jingmei and Gong Baiwan was clearly extraordinary.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so supportive.

The second wife always displayed a calm and collected personality in the Qin family, never getting involved in anything.

"Too late? What do you mean?"

Gong Baiwan's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition suddenly welled up inside him.

Chen Jingmei also frowned slightly and looked at Ye Bai.

"Yesterday, after returning from the auction, Wanqing was extremely thirsty but didn't want to drink tea, so she boiled that Ganoderma lucidum in water and drank it..."

Ye Bai gave a wry smile, and a huge black pot was poured on Queen Qin.

It's only natural that she should take the blame for that woman who bullies her all the time.

Moreover, no matter what, he could not possibly transfer that piece of nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum to Gong Baiwan.

Only a fool would give away such a rare and precious treasure.

In particular, Huanyu Pharmaceuticals clearly has problems and is very likely one of the masterminds behind the targeting of Qin Wanqing!

Only a fool would aid the enemy.

There is still a fragment of an ancient medicinal formula in this world. If we can get our hands on the main ingredient, we might be able to refine some monsters with amazing medicinal effects.

Although this prescription is also extremely rare, since Huanyu Pharmaceutical is the top pharmaceutical company in Jingzhou, they might be able to get their hands on it.

Therefore, Ye Bai would rather stew the Nine-Headed Lingzhi in soup than let the other party have their way.

"You boiled water...and drank it?"

Upon hearing Ye Bai's answer, Gong Baiwan was completely stunned and speechless.

Even Chen Jingmei was so surprised that she opened her rosy little mouth wide enough to fit a club.

She didn't know the true origin of that Ganoderma lucidum; Gong Baiwan only said that he wanted to use it to try making a new medicine.

In Chen Jingmei's eyes, the century-old Ganoderma lucidum was not a particularly good thing, and the Qin family had no shortage of it, so she agreed to help make the contact.

Who would have thought that it would be cooked in just one night?

"I must say, it tastes really good. I had to cook it several times before the flavor gradually faded. Plus, it's very nutritious. Wanqing and I stayed up all night last night..."

"Wanqing was originally planning to bring some over to Aunt Chen, but it was getting late, and I was afraid you'd be asleep, so I didn't dare disturb you..."

Ye Bai smacked his lips and began to spout nonsense again with a straight face.

Since Gong Baiwan is the president of Huanyu Pharmaceutical, even if he doesn't understand medicine, he must at least know some of the properties of medicines.

Therefore, Ye Bai had to completely dispel this guy's hopes.

Of course, it was also because Chen Jingmei acted as a go-between that Ye Bai had to give his nominal "mother-in-law" some face.

Otherwise, if it were just Gong Baiwan alone, he wouldn't even need to lie; he could simply say he wouldn't sell.

"Then...what about the leftovers after cooking..."

Gong Baiwan finally came to his senses and asked in a trembling voice.

"What's left over? Mr. Gong, you're not talking about the dregs of medicine, are you? Who keeps that stuff? We'd throw it away a long time ago."

Ye Bai was taken aback at first, then looked at Gong Baiwan with a puzzled expression, his eyes becoming increasingly strange.

It's like they're saying, "Are you really the CEO of Huanyu Pharmaceuticals? How come you're even eyeing the dregs of medicine? Even beggars wouldn't go this far, would they?"

"Throw...throw it away..."

Gong Baiwan's face turned pale, and he slumped into a chair, looking as if he had lost his parents. He was so devastated that he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Others might not know, but he did. The Ganoderma lucidum that Ye Bai photographed yesterday was not some kind of century-old Ganoderma lucidum at all!

It is very likely a leaf from a nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum!

And this incredible treasure was actually boiled into water and drunk by Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai, this idiotic couple?

Is there any justice in this world?

And even if you boil the medicine and drink it, you can keep the dregs!

Although the medicinal properties are definitely gone, at least it can help them confirm whether it is indeed a nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum!

Now that the dregs of the medicine have been thrown away, does he think he can just rummage through the trash cans?

"Um... Aunt Chen, Mr. Gong, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still have to go to work and deliver goods..."

Seeing that Gong Baiwan looked like he was about to take nitroglycerin pills, Ye Bai quickly got up and made a run for it.

Chen Jingmei didn't try to stop him; she still had to comfort Gong Baiwan.

After leaving the Buddhist hall, Ye Bai glanced at the Rolls-Royce Phantom again, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

That Aunt Chen seems to have a very close relationship with Huanyu Pharmaceutical...
