Chapter Thirty-Five: The Old Doctor's Suggestion

  Zhao Rui saw that everyone's eyes were focused on himself and couldn't help but frown slightly, this wasn't a way he liked.

  "No, I have something else in the afternoon, probably can't go." He declined Lin Baode's kindness.

  The people around were even more surprised, their mouths wide open in shock, staring blankly at Zhao Rui with faces full of incredulity.

  Professor Lin is treating us to a meal, this is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime, it's something worth bragging about, but the person in front of him didn't even think twice and rejected Professor Lin's invitation!

  "What a weirdo." Yunfei muttered in a low voice, speaking out everyone's thoughts.

  Lin Bao De seemed to have not expected himself to be rejected, and was taken aback for a moment. However, he didn't take it too seriously and continued saying: "I came looking for you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

  As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Rui to one side and said in a low voice: "Little Zhao, you gave me a thousand-year-old ginseng last time, I've been feeling uneasy about it. So I was thinking, is there any way to make up for it?

  Just yesterday, I heard that the largest auction house in Dong'an - Ruida Company will hold a private auction. If you're interested, you can take your extra Millennium Ginseng to be auctioned off and it's sure to fetch a good price. As for the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Ginseng, this kind of divine object is best kept for yourself.

  I once attended such a private auction, their confidentiality work is extremely strict, this kind of seller does not need to provide any information, just hand over the goods to the auction company and give out a bank account number, if the goods are sold, the money will be automatically transferred into the bank account.

  "Don't worry, the reputation of Ruida Company is very good and they won't cheat you. In this kind of private auction, the items sold are usually rare and valuable, and both the buyers and sellers are often mysterious figures with a lot at stake. The auction company absolutely dare not secretly manipulate things."

  Zhao Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard Lin Baode say this.

  The thousand-year-old ginseng in the Qiankun ring is a rare treasure for ordinary people, but its effect on him is not very great, far less than the ten-thousand-year-old immortal ginseng. It's better to take one out and auction it off to see how much money can be made from it.

  Additionally, being able to obtain a sum of unexpected wealth would also be quite good for him, at least he wouldn't have to go out and work to earn a living in the future.

  "After a moment's thought, he said: 'Professor Lin, thank you for the information. I will consider it carefully. If I decide to auction off the Millennium Ginseng Emperor, I'm afraid I'll still have to ask you to come forward and help me transfer the Millennium Ginseng Emperor to the auction company.'"

  "It's no problem." Lin Baode agreed in one breath, but he was thinking to himself, this young Zhao is not very old, yet he does things so cautiously and meticulously, even with Ruida Company being so secure, he doesn't want to show up personally, and instead lets me be the middleman.

  Lin Baode and Zhao Rui were whispering to each other, while Yunfei and the others looked at them with puzzled faces, wondering what a renowned old Chinese doctor and a business student could have to discuss.

  After waiting for a long time, the two finally finished talking. Lin Baode said goodbye to Zhao Rui and was surrounded by people as he left, but Yunfei stayed behind, like a fierce little hen, tilting her small chin upwards, looking at Zhao Rui with great provocation:

  "I didn't expect you to know Old Man Lin."

  "You can't imagine what else is going on!" Zhao Rui didn't have a good impression of this little loli, and casually brushed it off.

  Yun Fei hummed heavily and said, "I find it strange that Lin Lao Tou, someone of his status, seems to hold you in high regard. Why is that? You're a... a big rascal."

  As she said this, her small face turned slightly red, and she thought of that night again, the ambiguous scene in the boiler room.

  "Hooligan?"

  Zhao Rui glanced at her and felt that he had helped this little girl with good intentions, not calculating the previous grievances, but instead was scolded as a rascal, which was really unpleasant.

  "Now that you know I'm a rascal, why don't you stay far away from me instead of clinging to me?"

  "Who... who's bothering you! I'd rather be further away from you!"

  Yun Fei hastily defended herself, feeling that she shouldn't be left alone. But for some reason, whenever she saw Zhao Rui, she couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to fight with him.

  She is the only granddaughter of the president of Huatian Group, and the future leader of Dong'an Yun's family. Even though she has hidden her identity and is studying at Donglian University, with her beautiful face, she is still being taken care of and noticed by others.

  Zhao Rui, on the other hand, didn't take her seriously at all and even bullied her repeatedly, which really hurt her self-esteem and made her want to regain her dignity.

  Zhao Rui raised an eyebrow: "Just don't bother me, that's all. I'm going to eat, see you later."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  Yun Fei stomped her foot, stood still for a moment, then with a pale and tender face, she followed him from afar with a huff.

  Zhao Rui suddenly became aware of something and turned his head to take a look. He asked in surprise, "Huh? Why are you still following me?"

  Yun Fei gave him a white eye, proudly raised her small head: "Who followed you? I'm going to the cafeteria to eat, do people walking behind you all follow you? Hmph, really self-inflicted."

  As she said that, she seemed to feel that she had finally gained the upper hand and regained some face, a very happy smile spreading across her face, like a rose blooming at dawn, delicate and beautiful, attracting the admiring glances of passing boys.

  "Angel's face, devil's heart, witch's mouth." Zhao Rui made an evaluation of her in his heart.

  After hastily eating lunch in the cafeteria, Zhao Rui found a secluded spot and took out a thousand-year-old ginseng from his Qiankun ring. He carefully placed it in a small box and then took a car to the Bao De Chinese Medicine House, where he handed the ginseng over to Lin Bao De.

  Actually, he had planned to sell one of the Millennium Ginseng from the very beginning, but it wasn't convenient to take it out in front of so many people at that time.

  Lin Baode carefully put the Millennium Ginseng into a safe after receiving it, then told Zhao Rui to send it to Ruoda Company tomorrow. However, if they want to auction it off, they might have to wait for a few more days, as the other party also needs some time to prepare.

  "That's no big deal, a few days can be waited." Zhao Rui said casually.

  "Are you interested in going to the auction site yourself?" Lin Baode stroked his beard and asked, "Although this private auction has strict restrictions on the number of participants, as the seller, I can get two invitation letters."

  Zhao Rui had only seen the live broadcast of auctions on TV before, and couldn't help but be curious about this private auction, so he said: "I want to go take a look, call me on the day of the auction."

  Lin Bao De nodded and agreed.

  After finishing their discussion, the two of them chatted for a couple more sentences before Zhao Rui bid farewell to Lin Bao De and rushed back to school. He still had class in the afternoon and didn't want to be absent again.
