Chu Ge squinted his eyes. Young Master Yunxi? Nangong Yunxi?
The situation with Chairman Zhang is also related to Nangong Yunxi. What exactly does this Nangong Yunxi want to do? Could it be that the path with Chairman Zhang isn’t working out, so now he’s turning his attention to the Shen Family?
The Shen Family is the most famous dicinal herb rchant. If they connect with this giant, there’s no fear of shortages when developing the dicinal herb business in the Capital City.
Moreover, if Nangong Yunxi wants to engage in drug research and developnt, partnering with the Shen Family for future dicinal herb reserves would be a wise choice.
Chu Ge pondered for a mont, but before he could speak, he heard the person across say, "Mr. Chu, you said they want to engage in drug research and developnt, logically they would need various dicinal herbs, but they only want the Earth Ganoderma."
"..." Only the Earth Ganoderma? A sense of doubt arose within Chu Ge. He’s not particularly knowledgeable about dicinal herbs, so he couldn’t rashly conclude.
"Alright then, I’ll look into the situation and get back to you later."
Chu Ge said to Shen Congwen.
Shen Congwen was afraid Chu Ge might overthink, so he hurriedly explained, "Mr. Chu, I’m not calling to haggle the price with you. I’ve already turned down the Nangong Family. I just wanted to inform you about this, just so you’re aware. I’m worried that you were quite close to the Nangong Family before, and now they’re trying to snatch your business. I’m afraid they’ll also sche against you in the Capital City."
A warm feeling swept over Chu Ge’s heart. Although he had never t Shen Congwen, he could tell from his words that he genuinely cares.
"I understand. Don’t worry; I’ll be cautious."
After hanging up the call, Chu Ge stared ahead in a mont of daze, but soon collected his thoughts.
Starting the car again, Chu Ge now headed directly towards the Gambling Stone Field, unlike his previous aimless wandering.
He wanted to learn from Jian Chunqiu about the uses of Earth Ganoderma and understand the grievances between Mr. Chu and the Nangong Family.
Chu Ge drove to the entrance of the Gambling Stone Field, where there was a hustle and bustle. The scene was different from before. Now, the old street is gradually thriving, and the locals ntioned how it’s because Mr. Chu opened the Gambling Stone Field and bar here.
Before, he had noticed the surroundings, and there wasn’t much of a business opportunity here. This area is called the old district not only because the buildings are old, but also because the residents are predominantly in their fifties and sixties.
After work, you could see many grandpas and grandmas walking and playing in the little park, whereas the younger people have moved to the city center for developnt.
Standing from his perspective, this area would definitely not be within his plans. Yet, just because of Mr. Chu’s two entertainnt venues, the higher-ups began paying attention to the area.
Chu Ge parked the car and got out, coincidentally seeing Liu Yue coming downstairs holding a batch of dicinal herbs, "Mr. Chu? You’re here."
Liu Yue was slightly surprised upon seeing Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, have you been really busy lately? Haven’t seen you at the Gambling Stone Field much."
Before, Chu Ge would often hang around here, whether he had sothing to do or not. But now, he was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Ge chuckled, "Yeah, I’ve been a bit busy. By the way, is Uncle Jian around?"
"Probably, I saw him having lunch with Lin Dong, so he should be inside the Gambling Stone Field."
"Okay, understood, I’ll go have a look. Thanks for your hard work."
Chu Ge said politely.
Liu Yue, slightly embarrassed, smiled, "No worries about hard work; it’s definitely easier than us running around outside doing cattle trading. Lin Dong and I have always wanted to thank Mr. Chu. Thanks to you, we get to live peacefully."
Liu Yue didn’t understand the path Lin Dong chose but she knew he didn’t regret it. And working in the pharmacy with Lin Dong and the others supporting her, she lived comfortably and learned a lot.
She always wanted to find a chance to properly thank Chu Ge, but he was always too busy, nearly impossible to find. Even when she spotted him, he was usually surrounded by others, making it hard for her to express such sentintal words.
Now, finally eting Chu Ge, she blurted it out in the heat of the mont.
Chu Ge chuckled, "We’re family, no need for thanks. Keep up the good work; I’m off to find Uncle Jian."
"Alright."
Chu Ge entered the Gambling Stone Field, finding it as lively as ever, and heard clamoring sounds imdiately.
He scanned the room, finally spotting Jian Chunqiu at a table.
Jian Chunqiu looked bored, lacking sothing to do, so he casually joined a table.
Chu Ge approached, watching Jian Chunqiu completely focused, unaware of his presence.
"Have you picked? If you have, I’ll start."
The person next to Jian Chunqiu impatiently urged.
Jian Chunqiu calmly picked a small stone and handed it to the croupier.
"You chose so quickly?" The person beside was stunned, casting a skeptical look at the stone in Jian Chunqiu’s hand, "You joking around? Do you even know how to play gambling stone? Picking such a small one, are you disrespecting , Third Master?"
The self-proclaid Third Master scornfully snorted, "I heard the people in this Gambling Stone Field are good at gambling, not sure who spread that rumor."
"Third Master, don’t be mad; so people are just thoughtless with their money, keen to lose them; can’t bla them for wanting to lose."
The person speaking next to Third Master was clearly his underling, displaying excessive flattery.
"Enough; stop flattering . If he’s playing mindlessly against , what’s the point even if I win? That’d be a hollow victory."
Acting as if his victory was assured, he puffed his chest arrogantly.
Jian Chunqiu smiled lightly, "How do you know I’ll lose without even opening the stone?"
"You won’t shed tears unless you see the coffin. Our Third Master here is a Gambling God in this realm, never lost before. If he says your stone doesn’t contain spirit stones, then it doesn’t. This is for your own good, giving you a chance to select another one."
The person next to Third Master huffed at Jian Chunqiu, "You look quite old; shouldn’t have much pocket money left, right? Don’t lose too badly, or your wife might scold you when you return!"
"Hahaha..."
"Haha..."
As his words fell, laughter rang out from the surroundings.
Jian Chunqiu chuckled and shook his head, "Words won’t matter; determining if I’ll get scolded can only be seen after stone opening."
