Someone left Beijing and headed south at night.
“Halo, Miss Guo,” says Gu
“You don't need to call me Miss Guo; just call me Sirou,” said Guo Sirou. “Uncle Gu, we have arranged your trip this time.”
“Yes, senior officer has given me all instructions,” Gu said.
“Very good!” guo Sirou.
Did I break my promise? thought Guo Sirou.
After Guo Sirou received a call from his grandfather about Xue, he was reluctant to take any action. After all, he had promised Wang Yao not to tell anyone about the fact that he had treated his grandfather. But he knew about Xue, who was two years younger than him. If he was Xue, he would not have the courage to continue living.
“We must make an exception for Xue and owe Wang Yao another favor,” Guo Sirou's grandfather said before he left.
How will I return the favor?! thought Guo Sirou.
Guo Sirou and Gu got off the plane in Dao City, then met He Qisheng who had been waiting for them at the airport.
“Hai, Miss Guo! Hi, Gu!” greeting He Qisheng. He was somewhat surprised to see Gu, as Guo Sirou did not mention that Gu would travel with him. He Qisheng only knew Guo Sirou would bring someone with him.
“Hai, Qisheng, long time no see,” said Gu, a middle-aged man.
“Yes, have not seen you for a long time,” said He Qisheng.
“Let's talk on the way to Haiqu,” advice Gu.
“OK,” says He Qisheng.
“We are here to see Wang Yao. We need his help. Help me think of what I should say to him,” Guo Sirou said.
“Do you want him to treat someone?” ask He Qisheng.
“Yes,” says Guo Sirou.
“Where is the patient?” ask He Qisheng.
“The patient is not here. He is in Beijing,” Guo Sirou said.
“Are you talking about Xue?” ask He Qisheng.
“Yes,” says Guo Sirou.
“It will be complicated. You know, he doesn't like to visit Beijing,” He Qisheng said.
“That's why I need your help to convince her,” Guo Sirou said.
“It will be very difficult!” He Qisheng shook his head.
“Why doesn't he like to visit Beijing?” ask Gu.
“I hope I know,” said He Qisheng.
“She is more than just not fond of visiting Beijing. I mentioned it to him before. There is no room for negotiation. You have to prepare, Gu,” He Qisheng said.
Gu frowned. He knew it would be difficult if He Qisheng and Guo Sirou were to tell the truth.
They wanted great help from Wang Yao, so they could not force him to do something. Maybe they could convince him to use their strength. Speaking of strength, the Guo Sirou family had great power, which still could not make Wang Yao change his mind. Who is this Wang Yao? Gu wonders.
In a way, Gu thought it would be difficult to convince Wang Yao. On the other hand, Gu became increasingly curious about Wang Yao, whom he had yet to meet.
The three of them settled in the best hotel in Haiqu.
“Uncle He, can you go to Nanshan hill and see if you can ask Wang Yao to come here?” ask Guo Sirou.
“OK,” says He Qisheng.
Guo Sirou did not immediately go to Lianshan. He did not want to bother Wang Yao directly. Instead, he wanted He Qisheng to test Wang Yao's mind first. If Wang Yao insisted that he did not want to visit Beijing, they would have to think of an alternative way.
“I hope he won't be too stubborn this time,” said Guo Sirou softly as he looked at Haiqu's night view through the window. It could not compare to Beijing at all.
…
“Hai, what are you doing?” Tong Wei was talking to Wang Yao on the phone.
“Nothing, I just sat outside,” said Wang Yao.
“Are you on the hill again?” ask Tong Wei.
“Yes, I'm on a hill and looking up at the sky while talking to you on the phone.” Wang Yao was sitting outside his cottage and talking to Tong Wei on the phone.
“Are you busy in Dao City?” asked Wang Yao.
“Not too bad. I was just a little busy recently,” said Tong Wei.
The conversation between them was as usual. They never make vows, only casual chatter, which only reinforces the feelings between them.
“I'll be back to Lianshan next week,” Tong Wei said.
“Good, are you glad I picked you up?” asked Wang Yao.
“Ya, I'll call you on that day,” Tong Wei said.
“That sounds good,” said Wang Yao.
…
The next day, Wang Yao was interrupted twice by a phone call while she was practicing making herbal pills.
One of the phone calls from Tian Yuantu was asking him to review Secretary Yang's mother after taking the potion made by Wang Yao. It had been a long time since he had started taking potions from Wang Yao. The other phone call was from He Qisheng, who asked if Wang Yao was in Nanshan hill. He wanted to visit Wang Yao.
He Qisheng came to Nanshan Hill at 10am and brought a simple gift to Wang Yao. Of course, the only simple thing is the package. But, Wang Yao was no longer a young man who had never seen a top-tier product. He could immediately tell that the current price was extremely expensive.
“I've told you that you don't need to bring Me anything,” Wang Yao said.
He Qisheng simply smiled. He didn't say anything.
“Please enter,” said Wang Yao.
…
In the shabby cottage sat a teapot.
Wang Yao will not go to Beijing at this stage.
He Qisheng was not too surprised after being rejected, but he was still a little disappointed.
Well, it looks like Miss Guo has to come here by herself! he Qisheng thought.
“It's okay; I won't bother you anymore. I have to go,” said He Qisheng.
“Wait, why do you and Miss Guo want me to go to Beijing?” wang Yao asked out of curiosity.
“We want you to see a patient,” said Wang Yao.
“Seeing patients? There are so many well-known specialists and experts in Beijing. It won't be difficult for you to ask a Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner to take care of the patient you mentioned given Miss Guo's social status,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“Even a sacred Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner cannot treat certain diseases,” He Qisheng said.
“What do you think I can do?” asked Wang Yao.
“I think your medical skills are no worse than a divine Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner,” He Qisheng said. “The ransom you made is more effective than the herbs from those practitioners.”
He Qisheng was telling the truth, and Wang Yao trusted him. Apart from the rich knowledge that Wang Yao obtained from the system, the incredible licorice root was also important in treating one's illness. Perhaps the divine Traditional Chinese Medical practitioners were very knowledgeable and experienced, but they did not have licorice root.
In fact, the Regather soup that Wang Yao had made had not been completely taken away by Guo Sirou's grandfather. A small portion of the stew was sent to be tested in a special laboratory, as Miss Guo's family wanted to double the stew. They were all amazed by the effect of Wang Yao's potion. But the test results disappointed them. The lab can only test some herbs in a decoction, which can be easily found in any herbal store. Some components of the decoction cannot be tested, so it cannot make the exact same decoction.
This is like industrial production—30% of which rely on technology, while 70% rely on equipment. An extraordinary potion requires an extraordinary potion.
If Guo Sirou's grandfather had not ordered his men not to bother Wang Yao, and only a handful of people knew about it, some of his men would have already found Wang Yao and forced him to give her the herbal formula. They did not mind soiling their hands to force or lure Wang Yao to tell them the ingredients of the potion.
Here's reality.
If a person is not strong enough, commit suicide to save something very valuable.
“I'm flattered,” said Wang Yao.
“Anyway, sorry to bother you; goodbye for now,” said He Qisheng.
He had seen Wang Yao and tried his best to convince Wang Yao. Now he knew Wang Yao's answer, so he didn't need to stay anymore. He Qisheng stood up and left.
Going to Beijing to see a patient?
Wang Yao frowned as he watched He Qisheng walk down the hill. He felt that everything was not that simple.
He Qisheng returned to Haiqu to meet Guo Sirou and Gu.
“Does he agree to come?” Guo Sirou asked as soon as he saw He Qisheng.
“No, he rejected me without hesitation,” He Qisheng said.
“There is no room for negotiation?” ask Gu.
“No; he said no as soon as I called Beijing,” He Qisheng said.
“Maybe he has enemies in Beijing?” said Gu.
“Yes, I don't know about this,” said He Qisheng.
“Nona. Guo, have you not told her about who you are?” Gu spoke wisely, but both Guo Sirou and He Qisheng knew what he was talking about. He spoke of Guo Sirou's social status. That was to say Guo Sirou had to tell Wang Yao of what kind of family he came from.
Gu thought Guo Sirou should show Wang Yao's ability.
“No, I'm not.” Guo Sirou shook his head.
“No wonder. You have to tell him!” said Gu. “If she knows who you are, she probably won't turn down Beijing!”
“Maybe you are right,” Guo Sirou said after thinking for a moment. He had yet to tell Wang Yao about his social status because he thought it was unnecessary. But now he thought he had to tell Wang Yao who he was. After getting to know Wang Yao for a while, he had faith in Wang Yao's personality and character.
“Maybe I think too much. Well, I'll go see him. Uncle Gu, Uncle He, wait for me here,”
“You don't need to go; I can visit him again,” He Qisheng said.
“No, I think I should go alone,” urged Guo Sirou.
…
Wang Yao went to Haiqu in the afternoon with Tian Yuantu to meet Secretary Yang's mother. After checking his pulse and observing him, Wang Yao discovered that the cold evil within his body had reduced, albeit by only a little. This showed that the potion Wang Yao had made was successful.
“How do you feel?” asked Wang Yao.
“I feel much more comfortable after drinking your potion. I felt warm and even sweaty a few days ago,” Secretary Yang's mother said.
“Good! This means the potion has worked. Let me make you another dose. Are you okay with taking another stew? ” ask Wang Yao.
“OK,” says Secretary Yang's mother.
Secretary Yang was busy this time because he had to accompany the inspection team from the province. But, he had arranged for his men to look after Wang Yao. He specifically asked his men to treat Wang Yao well.
“It's still morning. We don't need dinner here. How about going back to Lianshan?” asked Wang Yao.
“OK,” Tian Yuantu approve.
They both returned to Lianshan.
Wang Yao received a call from Guo Sirou on his way back to Lianshan. Guo Sirou wanted to know where he was so that they could meet. Both are in Lianshan.
They agreed to meet at a cafe near the sea. Tian Yuantu left with Wang Yao.
This was the first time Tian Yuantu had met Guo Sirou. Tian Yuantu was surprised not because of Guo Sirou's beauty, but because…
I've seen it somewhere before, thought Tian Yuantu.
“Let Me introduce you guys.” Wang Yao introduced Guo Sirou to Tian Yuantu.
