Chapter Thirty-Eight: Inviting Guests

  After winning the auction for the Millennium Ginseng, Yun Feng didn't dare to linger and immediately packed up the ginseng. He reported to the old butler and then drove straight to the Yunlu Villa under the tight escort of several family bodyguards, where the old butler was waiting for him in the mansion.

  Upon arriving at the villa, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the old butler with his hands behind his back, slowly pacing back and forth in the hall.

  "Yunfeng, you're back!"

  As soon as Yun Feng walked in, the old steward's face immediately broke into a smile, and he stepped forward two steps to greet him.

  Although his expression and demeanor were calm as usual, the anxiety and longing in his eyes were revealed without a trace.

  Yun Feng felt a little surprised, the old steward was the second most important person in the family after Yun Xiong, he had been working by his side for many years and had never seen him so enthusiastic about anyone!

  "Yes, I'm back." He hastily stood up and replied respectfully.

  "Has the Millennium Ginseng Emperor returned?" The old butler didn't continue with the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

  "It's in my bag."

  Yun Feng hastily pulled out a dark red sandalwood box from his bag and held it in front of Old Guan's eyes with both hands.

  The old housekeeper carefully took over, opened the wooden box, and a strange fragrance of agarwood suddenly floated out of the sandalwood box, filling the entire room.

  "What a huge, thousand-year-old ginseng king! I never thought that such a rare treasure really existed in the world!" The old butler's face revealed an expression of surprise and delight, as he held the thousand-year-old ginseng king, admiring it from all sides, reluctant to look away.

  "If this Xian Cane is refined into Pei Yuan Dan and rewarded to the outstanding young masters in our family, the overall strength of our Yun family can even be improved by a level! Yun Feng, you have made a great contribution to the Yun family this time!"

  Seeing that he had gained the approval of Lao Guan's family, Yunfeng suppressed the joy in his heart and humbly said: "You're overpraising me, I was able to take down this thousand-year-old ginseng because you supported me from behind, I just did a small thing."

  "Credit where credit is due, no need to be overly modest. Although last time you were tasked with secretly investigating the mysterious demon that entered Dong'an and didn't quite succeed, your achievement this time more than makes up for it. The old master is currently in seclusion, we can't disturb him, but once he comes out, I'll report your merit to him."

  Yun Feng was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Yun Xiong is the master of the Yun family, if he can leave a deep impression on his mind, it will be very helpful for his future!

  The old steward encouraged him a few more words, then let him leave, and he himself was excited to order people to collect various materials, preparing for the refining of Pei Yuandan.

  Just as Yun Feng brought back Qian Nian Can Huang to Yun Lu Flower Garden, Zhao Rui also left the Hilton Hotel with Lin Bao De.

  Zhao Rui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a thousand-year-old ginseng would sell for such a sky-high price. Professor Lin, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for your suggestion, I wouldn't have known there was a way to sell it like this!"

  Lin Bao De stroked his beard, chuckled and jokingly said: "This is what I should do, you know, you gave me a thousand-year-old ginseng worth 500 million, providing some information is nothing! Little Zhao, now you're a billionaire! How are you going to spend this money?"

  "How much does it cost?" Zhao Rui thought for a moment, but didn't have a clear idea.

  He was originally a poor man with only 30,000 yuan in savings at the bank. Overnight, his net worth skyrocketed nearly 20,000 times to reach 500 million yuan, this kind of transformation is indeed quite huge.

  Of course, if you really want to spend money, it's very easy, but Zhao Rui doesn't like to be too showy, because that would make the people around him who know him well suspicious.

  "Put it in the bank first, and spend it when the time comes." He said casually.

  After saying goodbye to Tong Linbao, Zhao Rui returned to school and was still the same as before. He didn't show any signs of excitement or pride due to the sudden large deposit in his bank account.

  It wasn't until dinner time in the evening that he called all three brothers in the dormitory and said he was treating them to a meal.

  "Heh heh! Alright! Boss, let's eat! We can save on dinner tonight."

  Luocheng laughed so hard that his two small eyes narrowed into a slit. As long as he could eat and drink for free, he was happy.

  "Boss, why are you treating us to dinner?" Zhou Wei asked with some curiosity, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose with two fingers.

  "Come and eat, do you need a reason?"

  "Of course we need it, otherwise you'll put drugs in our food, knock us out and sell us off." Zhou Wei joked.

  "Then you don't have to go, one less of you means I can eat double portions, anyway I'm not afraid of being sold out." Luo Cheng hastily said.

  "It's like this, three big guys, whoever wants to buy can just go and buy it. If the buyer is a beauty, that would be even better, my single problem will also be solved at the same time." Han Xing smiled and added.

  "You should play less CS, being single was solved eight hundred years ago, why wait until now?" Zhou Wei shook his head.

  Since all three of them agreed to go, Zhao Rui said: "Then it's settled, we'll go eat at the Sichuan restaurant."

  "Now we have to go, the Sichuan restaurant is doing well and there are a lot of people. If we go early, we can grab a seat." Luo Cheng said as he grabbed a T-shirt and put it on.

  "I'll make a call and get someone over here," Zhao Rui said, picking up his mobile phone and starting to dial Sun Xiaolan's number.

  "Is that your little Lan sister?" Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow and made a silly face, looking very annoying.

  "Needless to say, when the boss invites you out for dinner, which time did he ever not foot the bill?" Zhou Wei had a gentle and refined face, but the sly smile at the corner of his mouth revealed that he was also a scoundrel.

  "Childhood friends, it's really enviable!" Han Xing sighed on the side, "And it's still a campus belle-level childhood friend, Boss, how did you get so lucky? Why can't we run into someone like that?"

  "It's not what you think!" Zhao Rui felt a bit of a headache, to him, Sun Xiaolan was like his own family, but every time it involved Sun Xiaolan, these three guys in the dormitory would get all tangled up.
