Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Two Sessions of the Conference
"Of course it's true. When have I, Tan Long, ever lied?" Brother Long declared, thumping his chest.
Wang Ye nodded, pointing at Zhou Tianhao and Yuan Hongming, "These two were causing trouble in our clinic, what do you think we should do?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Long immediately looked towards Zhou Tianhao and Yuan Hongming with a fierce glare.
"So it was you two causing trouble at Peerless Medical Hall?"
Facing Brother Long's interrogation, fear was written all over Yuan Hongming's face.
Though he was nominally a Divine Doctor, that was merely a title bestowed by the Yang Family. Without the Yang Family's protection, he was nothing in front of Brother Long.
"Brother Long, you are mistaken. We were not causing trouble at Peerless Medical Hall; we were here to help," Yuan Hongming explained.
By this time, Zhou Tianhao had gradually recovered.
"Tan Long, what right do you have to speak to me like this?" Zhou Tianhao did not consider Tan Long a threat.
With his cousin Yang Junsheng backing him, he feared nothing.
"Slap!"
Tan Long did not give Zhou Tianhao any face, and slapped him directly across the face.
"You son of a bitch, dare to hit me?" Zhou Tianhao yelled, covering his face.
But as Tan Long's dozens of men surrounded him, he was immediately frightened.
"You, you... what do you want to do? Do you know who I am?" Zhou Tianhao's voice began to tremble.
"I don't care who you are. From now on, anyone who dares to touch Peerless Medical Hall is going against me, Tan Long. Scram!"
Seeing this, Yuan Hongming quickly pulled Zhou Tianhao and ran away.
Tan Long didn't care about them; instead, he turned back to look at Wang Ye.
"Divine Doctor, are you satisfied with this resolution?"
Wang Ye nodded slightly, not saying much.
Using someone else's strength to deal with Zhou Tianhao was not what Wang Ye desired. He did this only to send them away quickly.
"As long as the Divine Doctor is satisfied! Divine Doctor, here is my business card. Take it and call me anytime," Tan Long said as he handed his business card to Wang Ye with both hands, then turned and swaggered off.
The man who had been paralyzed for several months was finally physically recovered, and he couldn't have been happier, wishing to show off to the world.
"Finally, they're all gone! Junior brother, well done just now," Chen Li patted Wang Ye's head.
"Senior sister, I have urgent business to discuss with you! I need some herbs to prepare a prescription," Wang Ye said seriously.
Seven days is not short, but it's also not long. The needed herbs, some of which are very rare, should be prepared as soon as possible.
Chen Li, upon hearing Wang Ye's request, also became serious.
"Junior brother, what's going on? Why do you need to prepare a prescription as soon as you come down the mountain?"
"Senior sister, it's like this..."
Wang Ye recounted everything that had happened at Tiansheng Restaurant to Chen Li.
After listening, Chen Li took a deep breath, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "This matter does seem troublesome. Three billion in funding would have been easily provided by our senior sister. But if senior sister can't help you, then it might be a bit difficult to manage."
"Yes, second senior sister, what should I do? I must fulfill this marriage contract. Otherwise, I'll never find out about my origins." Wang Ye looked at his second senior sister with hopeful eyes.
After listening, Chen Li pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "I've got it—there's a medicinal material conference coming up soon. National physicians from everywhere will participate to compete in medical knowledge. As long as you stand out at the conference, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with medicinal merchants and make a good amount of money."
"That might work, but can it really make three billion?"
Competing in medical knowledge was not difficult for Wang Ye. However, the biggest issue was whether it could make three billion.
Chen Li thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Earning three billion is difficult. In previous medicinal material conferences, the most anyone has earned was one billion."
"That's still not enough! I need to think of another way."
Even though Wang Ye wouldn't make a billion at the medicinal material conference, he knew he still had to participate. Of course, he also had to look for other options.
"Yes, aside from the medicinal material conference, there's also another opportunity. Yun City is also hosting a treasure appraisal conference soon. However, I'm not sure if there's enough time. Both conferences are being held on the same day."
"A treasure appraisal conference? Yun City is really bustling with events! A medicinal conference and a treasure appraisal one as well." Wang Ye, having recently come down from the mountain, was unaware of everything.
It was unexpected that within such a short time, two significant conferences would be happening.
"These are two events that Yun City officials really fought hard to host, considering that Yun City's two main industrial pillars are medicinal materials and antique gems. These conferences would give Yun City a great publicity opportunity," Chen Li explained.
Chen Li had been preparing for the medicinal material conference for a long time. Originally, she wanted to showcase her skills at the conference, but now that her junior brother Wang Ye needed help, she would unhesitatingly give him the opportunity.
"It's settled then, second senior sister. I must participate in both conferences. By then, I'll earn the three billion myself and fulfill the marriage contract successfully," Wang Ye was filled with confidence.
Medicine and treasure appraisal were subjects Wang Ye diligently studied while at the monastery, training under his master. Just having come down from the mountain, it was rare to have such a good opportunity to showcase his skills.
"That's good, junior brother. I'll take care of other things for you. Just concentrate on reviewing your knowledge in medicine and treasure appraisal and showcase your skills when the time comes," Chen Li had great confidence in Wang Ye.
...
Meanwhile, at the Yang Family residence.
After Yang Junsheng returned home, his rage had not subsided, and he immediately wanted to send someone to deal with Wang Ye.
But before he could arrange it, Zhou Tianhao came to the Yang Family to see him.
And he arrived with a face as swollen as a pig's head.
"Tianhao, what happened to you, kid? Did someone beat you up again?" Yang Junsheng asked upon seeing Zhou Tianhao's miserable state.
Zhou Tianhao lowered his head and explained in a low voice, "Cousin, it was Tan Long who did this."
"Tan Long?" Yang Junsheng's gaze immediately tightened.
That was a well-known figure in Yun City, always ruthless and cruel in his methods.
"How did you get involved with him? Hang on, isn't Tan Long paralyzed? How could he have hit you?"
"Cousin, here's what happened..."
Zhou Tianhao recounted the incident at Peerless Medical Hall to Yang Junsheng.
Yang Junsheng, furious, yelled, "Damn it, it's that Wang Ye again!"
Yang Junsheng himself had been slapped twice because of Wang Ye. And now, his cousin had also been publicly humiliated.
So Yang Junsheng's resentment towards Wang Ye deepened a great deal.
"Cousin, we must take revenge!"
