Chapter 24 What is luck? This is skill!
When Song Xiaoxiao heard the words "ten million", she felt like she was in a dream.
It took her several seconds to find her voice.
"How much did you say?! Ten million?!"
Feng Yizhen stroked his beard and sighed, "Indeed, Blood-Encountering Ginseng is a legendary elixir, and a thousand-year-old one is even rarer. If this ginseng were intact, let alone ten million, even twenty million would be enough for wealthy people to fight over it."
Song Xiaoxiao's head was buzzing.
She tried to find a trace of joking on Feng Yizhen's face, but Feng Yizhen's face was full of genuine amazement and envy, without any pretense.
The thought of how she had just criticized Su Hao for picking up broken ginseng, and even wondered if Su Hao was mentally ill for rummaging through the trash, made her feel utterly ashamed.
Ten million!
This one ginseng is enough for her to live on for hundreds of years without eating or drinking!
"With your luck... you could probably empty the lottery jackpot if you just bought a ticket!"
Song Xiaoxiao felt that her worldview had been severely impacted.
"What is luck? This is skill!"
Su Hao chuckled lightly: "Doctor Feng, since it was found in your shop, it should rightfully belong to you."
"Are you crazy?!"
Upon hearing that Su Hao intended to return the multi-million dollar ginseng to Feng Yizhen, Song Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed Su Hao's arm and whispered, "This is ten million! Not a thousand!"
Su Hao was amused by her anxious appearance: "Just because I found something in someone else's store doesn't mean I can take it with me."
"But you're the one who recognized it! If you hadn't recognized it as Blood-Enhancing Ginseng, it would have been thrown into the incinerator and burned to ashes by now!" Song Xiaoxiao stomped her feet anxiously.
"Even Doctor Feng himself said this is waste, something he threw away. Whoever picks it up can keep it. Why are you being so polite with him?"
Seeing that Su Hao remained unmoved, she added urgently, "Do you know how big a funding gap my cousin's company is right now? The initial investment has almost drained their working capital, and the bank loan approval is stalled. She was so worried last month that she couldn't sleep at all!"
"If you sell this ginseng, you'll get ten million, and she won't have to beg and plead for help anymore!"
When Song Xiaoxiao said this, her eyes were filled with disappointment, as if she were looking at a spendthrift son who threw gold ingots into the river.
"That's true, but money isn't a big deal for me, and I don't need to make money through such means."
"You...you...you might as well just kill me with anger!"
Song Xiaoxiao glared at Su Hao, clutching her throbbing fortress, unable to catch her breath for a long time.
"Master, you are so young, yet you have such a broad mind and magnanimity. I admire you greatly." Feng Yizhen laughed heartily.
"However, what this young lady said makes sense. The ginseng was personally dug out of the waste pile by the master, identified by him, and awakened by his own essence and blood. It has nothing to do with me."
"If I were to shamelessly accept it, that would truly dishonor the master's magnanimity."
He paused for a moment, then said, "How about this? I'll take the liberty of contacting my friends at the auction house to try and get you a good price. I'll only take 10% commission as a running fee, and the remaining 90% will all go to you."
Song Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately.
She nudged Su Hao and whispered, "Didn't you hear that? Doctor Feng has already said so, what are you still refusing for?"
"Why are you acting like a miser?" Su Hao said, both amused and exasperated.
Song Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips: "Me, a miser? I'm just worried about your money! Do you know how many companies outside are begging on their knees for a few hundred thousand yuan? And you, with ten million yuan right in front of you, you're turning it away!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't accept it, I just didn't want to take advantage of their shop."
"You think you're so great! You think you're so high and mighty!"
Song Xiaoxiao glared at him, then tugged at his arm, her tone softening and carrying a hint of pleading.
"Just accept it, consider it... consider it giving me face? I don't want to see my cousin worrying about money every day!"
"Alright, alright, then I'll leave the auction to Physician Feng."
Seeing that Su Hao had finally relented, Feng Yizhen smiled and said, "Master, you are too kind. It is my honor to serve you."
Su Hao glanced at Song Xiaoxiao: "Are you satisfied now?"
"I'm barely satisfied."
Song Xiaoxiao raised her chin, not forgetting to add insult to injury with her words.
"If you're this wasteful again, I'm really going to get angry with you."
Su Hao smiled without saying a word, followed Feng Yizhen to the ginseng section, picked out a medium-aged wild ginseng, and took all the warming and tonifying herbs on Li Zhongguo's prescription, and paid for the medicine.
Feng Yizhen tried his best to persuade them to stay for tea and conversation.
Su Hao, preoccupied with buying a new phone, politely declined to say goodbye and left with Song Xiaoxiao.
……
On the other side, a Rolls-Royce was speeding towards a top-tier hospital in the city center.
Inside the car, Ma Teng leaned back in his seat, his overall condition visibly improved.
"Dad, how are you feeling?" Ma Fei sat beside him, carefully observing his complexion.
"Much better."
Ma Teng let out a long breath.
"That young man's medical skills are truly remarkable. With just a few acupressure points, the stagnation in my chest that had been there for years was actually relieved quite a bit."
He turned his head and looked at Ma Fei sternly: "Why didn't you admit your mistake just now?"
Ma Fei lowered his head, not daring to meet his father's gaze: "Dad, I just felt it would be embarrassing and affect the Ma family's reputation..."
What does face matter compared to life?
Ma Teng let out a heavy snort, his aura weak but his authority undiminished: "If that young man had stood by and watched, I would have been dead on the spot. Are you going to risk my life for a little face?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong..."
Ma Teng said in a deep voice, "I must immediately return to Chuntang, humble myself, sincerely apologize, and beg the master to cure the root cause of my illness!"
Ma Fei dared not disobey his father's orders and quickly instructed the driver to turn around.
However, when they arrived, Su Hao was no longer at Huichuntang.
Feng Yizhen was organizing medicinal herbs at the counter when she saw the Ma family father and son return. She secretly admired Su Hao's foresight.
"Where did that master go?" Ma Fei asked anxiously.
Without looking up, Feng Yizhen said, "The master left half an hour ago after buying the medicinal herbs."
Ma Fei pressed, "What's his name? Do you have any contact information? Tell me everything you know!"
Seeing his attitude, Feng Yizhen simply pretended not to hear.
Ma Teng slapped Ma Fei on the head and scolded, "How dare you speak to Physician Feng like that?"
After saying that, he bowed slightly to Feng Yizhen: "Doctor Feng, my son has spoken without thinking and has offended me many times before. Please forgive him."
"Could you provide information about that master? My health won't hold up much longer, please help me!"
Feng Yizhen then spoke up: "I only know that his name is Su Hao. You can find out the rest yourselves."
Ma Teng's heart sank, and the sluggish pain that had just subsided in his internal organs showed signs of recurring.
He forced himself to stand up and instructed Ma Fei: "Use all the channels of the Ma family to thoroughly investigate the background of this Master Su. At the same time, prepare generous gifts and personally pay him a visit."
"Even if he demands you kneel in public, you must do it, understand?"
"Yes..." Ma Fei hung his head, filled with regret.
If he hadn't questioned Su Hao earlier, and hadn't refused the other party's conditions because of that damned pride, his father's health might have almost recovered by now.
This is truly a case of one wrong step leading to eternal regret; looking back, I've already strained my back...
