"Old Fang, please don't do this. Aren't your apprentices also our apprentices? How about this, we all recognize Vice President Su as our apprentices? I am not very talented, but my family has a few things that we can pass on to our apprentices. What do you think, Vice President Su?"

After the old man finished speaking, the other elders also began to speak.

"Yes, yes, our Chinese Medicine Association doesn't have a rule that a person can only take on one apprentice. In my opinion, Vice President Su has a lot of talent in Chinese medicine. Why not take on a few more masters? We old men don't hope for anything else, we just hope that you can carry forward Chinese medicine in the future."

Suya hadn't spoken yet.

Upon hearing this, Old Fang immediately flew into a rage.

"Get out of my way, all of you. This is my disciple. You can forget about him."

After saying that, Old Fang pulled Su Ya over to stand in front of her.

He looked like he'd fight anyone who tried to take someone from him.

"Old Fang, wasn't my idea forced upon me by you? If you had agreed to let Vice President Su and us, who are almost in our graves, occasionally exchange ideas on traditional Chinese medicine, we wouldn't have had to compete with you for your apprentices, wouldn't you say?"

Old Fang was stubborn and got stuck on what the old man in the wine said.

It seems that's true. Her apprentices would spar with them from time to time, so they didn't need to acknowledge those old men as their masters.

But Old Master Fang forgot that her apprenticeship was only nominal; she could only come a few times a week, and even a few times a month.

They only come to the Chinese Medicine Association when they have something to do; otherwise, you can't find a soul there.

"Then it's settled. We'll spar every time I come here, and you can't try to steal my apprentices anymore."

"Okay, no problem."

After finishing his sentence, the old man glanced at the others.

Everyone quickly expressed their opinions.

Mr. Jiu is the oldest member of the Chinese Medicine Association, so he has a certain degree of influence within the association. However, Mr. Jiu is not interested in fame; his greatest passion in life is researching Chinese medicine.

Suya saw that the matter here was almost over.

Next, we need to help with Elder Xiang's medicine furnace.

However, they need to change their clothes before going to the auction.

"Let's stop here for today. If there's anything else, please have Mr. Fang pass on the message to me, or we can create a group chat."

"Yes, yes, let's create a group chat so we can discuss things with Su Ya anytime. It's not really appropriate to call you by your name. Your abilities are no less than ours, so from now on we'll call you Little Friend Su."

"That's fine, after all, I'm the junior."

"No, no, no, you're too kind, young friend Su. In our field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no distinction between elders and juniors."

"Mr. Fang, hurry up! You're the only one here with Su Xiaoyou's contact information. Quickly add us all to the group."

The old man urged.

"Don't rush, don't rush, I still need to figure out how to create a group on WeChat."

"You're so stupid, you can't even do this. Watch me, I'll create a group chat, and you can add Su Xiaoyou in later."

"Okay, then you can build it."

Suya realized there was nothing more for her to do here.

Because of the lost medicine furnace, Elder Xiang did not have a meeting room.

Su Ya went to Elder Xiang's office.

Old Xiang was still staring blankly at the medicine stove on the table.

"Old Xiang, don't worry, I will definitely find the medicine furnace for you."

"However, I have a suggestion?"

"you say."

“I heard from the security guards at the Chinese Medicine Association that you all opposed the installation of surveillance cameras at the time, fearing it would expose your privacy. But the reason your item was stolen is precisely because there were no surveillance cameras here. The security captain also said that you were the most vocal in your opposition at the time.”

"It's my fault. I'll go find the chairman right now and ask him to install surveillance cameras. You wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

President Yan didn't mention this matter. It was only after Su Ya left the security room after asking about something that she overheard several security guards complaining while strolling around the Chinese Medicine Association. One of them, who was probably a new security guard, was complaining that patrolling every day was too tiring. There were three shifts a day, with three people on each shift, and they had to patrol such a large area. If anything happened, it would all be their responsibility.

Because they are the only outsiders, they are the first to be suspected whenever something goes missing from the Chinese Medicine Association.

Because there is no surveillance, they have no way to express their grievances, and as a result, many security guards have already resigned because they could not stand it.

Then another older security guard said that the security captain had also mentioned installing surveillance cameras at the Chinese Medicine Association, but he heard that the people at the Chinese Medicine Association were very opposed to it, and the most vocal opponent was Elder Xiang.

So Su Ya just mentioned it casually, but if there were surveillance cameras, something as big as Elder Xiang wouldn't be easily switched.

Moreover, Su Ya couldn't guarantee that even if she helped Elder Xiang find the medicine furnace this time, it wouldn't be lost again next time, since there was only human surveillance here.

There are just too many blind spots.

Su Ya didn't want to have to search for Xiang Lao's house every time it was lost, and then buy another one.

Even though she has a lot of money, she doesn't spend it like this.

Soon, Old Xiang returned.

“I have already spoken to the president and asked him to install surveillance cameras in the Chinese Medicine Association as soon as possible, making sure that every corner is covered.”

Never mind, as long as Old Xiang is happy.

Su Ya checked the time and said, "Elder Xiang, I'll take you somewhere now, and then we'll prepare to go to the auction."

"Okay, okay, what do I need to prepare?"

Su Ya wanted to ask Xiang Lao to go back and change his clothes, but then she thought that it would take too much time to go back and forth, so she decided to just buy a new set.

This is the happiness of the rich.

"No need, Elder Xiang."

"Let's go then."

Su Ya texted Ye Qinchuan as she went downstairs.

Old Xiang came out with Su Ya to the door. There they saw a pink car parked there.

His expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.

So he cautiously asked, "Young friend Su, we're not going to take this bus, are we? Why don't you give me the address and I'll take a taxi myself?"

As Elder Xiang already knows, the old men in the Chinese Medicine Association now call Vice President Su "Little Friend Su".

Su Ya was also annoyed; all afternoon had passed and Ye Qinchuan hadn't even bothered to change cars.

Ye Qinchuan got out of the car after seeing Su Ya.

"You're planning to drive this car?"

"Of course, what's wrong with this car?"

Ye Qinchuan said confidently.

Su Ya didn't know what to say. Driving such a flashy car to an auction was something only Ye Qinchuan would do.

At first, Elder Xiang didn't notice that there was someone else in the car. After the person got out of the car, he saw that the person was none other than Ye Qinchuan, the young master of one of the four great families in Kyoto. Only then did Elder Xiang remember that Su Xiaoyou had another identity: Ye Qinchuan's fiancée.

Old Xiang suddenly hesitated. He regretted not seeking out Su Xiaoyou. Rumor had it that Ye Qinchuan had a particularly bad temper. Moreover, he had heard that the previous vice president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association was ousted by the Ye family.

Although outsiders may not know this, it is not a secret within the Chinese Medicine Association.
