Chapter 149: Left and Right Arms Let professionals do professional things

At three in the afternoon, the number of patients began to thin out. Shen Jiang took Godwin to check on the progress of the medicinal fields. This way, she could chat with her cousins ​​about the progress of the medicinal fields, check and repair the magic circle before darkness fell, and go home to bed early.

When I arrived at my cousin's house, I heard passionate curses erupting from inside.

Shen Jiang stopped and looked embarrassed. It seemed like she came at the wrong time.

Chen Houkang's voice was loud and clear with anger: "These bastards are really bullying. How can they invite people to a celebratory lunch at noon, then fire them because of a phone call? How can this be possible? Dad has to go and ask for an explanation for you!"

Chen Songxue was exhausted. "Dad, it's useless for you to go. I'm still in my internship, and they can definitely fire me."

Chen Ru: "Xiaoxue, think carefully, have you offended anyone?"

Chen Songxue was very depressed: "Mom, they only said that I... was not capable enough. They didn't say anything else."

She lowered her voice in the middle, and Shen Jiang couldn't hear it clearly.

Chen Ru became agitated. "Nonsense! You told me the day before yesterday that your boss had high hopes for you, saying you were capable and planning to make you a regular employee early. How could you possibly be incompetent? Have you ever seen anyone fire someone and then invite them to a celebratory dinner? There's clearly something fishy going on."

Shen Jiang was stunned. She glanced at Godwin and found that he was indifferent to these words. Then she knocked on the door.

Seeing the newcomer, Chen Houkang had no time to calm down, and a mixture of surprise and anger appeared on his face. "Shen Jiang, why are you here?"

It was clearly not the right time to welcome guests home today, but Shen Jiang's visit was rare, so he couldn't just turn her away. However, Shen Jiang had brought a strange man with her, which made Chen Houkang hesitate. In Xiaoxue's current state, they had no desire to entertain guests.

Shen Jiang: "He's not a stranger. I heard it all at the door just now."

Chen Houkang looked back at his daughter worriedly. Seeing that she had calmed down, he opened the door and welcomed her in: "Come in first, and we'll talk."

Shen Jiang briefly introduced the two parties. Chen Houkang and his family had no idea that this young man was actually Mingxintang's medicinal herb supplier. Chen Songxue had heard his parents mention him many times in casual conversation, so he had a clear understanding of the effectiveness of Mingxintang's medicinal herbs.

My parents have been growing medicinal herbs for more than ten years. It is said that the medicinal seedlings they planted this year were obtained from Mingxintang, but they have been troubled by a problem recently. That is, the medicinal herbs cultivated in the medicinal fields cannot be compared with the existing medicinal herbs in Mingxintang.

Chen Songxue had gone to the fields to see that the plants were growing luxuriantly, and the quality of the medicinal materials was definitely much better than in previous years. However, his parents were very pragmatic people, and the fact that they were so willing to do so only proved that Mingxintang's medicine was truly good.

She had always assumed that the supplier, who lived deep in the mountains, would be of a simple appearance. After all, dealing with mountain plants all day long, it was hard to associate him with words like elite or elegant. But the man next to her cousin was clearly not simple at all. His gorgeous appearance was even more natural than the domineering CEO of her former company.

Chen Songxue looked at her cousin and the tall man beside her with some curiosity, and was the first to greet her: "Cousin, long time no see."

Shen Jiang had only come here to see if the magic circle had been destroyed when she overheard her cousin Chen Songxue being fired. Seeing the family's distressed expressions, Shen Jiang didn't quite understand. She simply asked, "I just heard Songxue resigned. Is she planning to rest at home for a while or continue looking for a job?"

Chen Songxue's face tightened, and she blushed. She had only been working for a little over a month when she was fired. Although she felt a surge of grievances and had nowhere to complain, this was truly shameful. Even if she was right, others would probably misunderstand her as having made a mistake. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt.

Chen Ru sighed: "You are not an outsider, so I will tell you straight, the Su Group is a big company, but they do things as if it were a joke.

I used to think that if I went to a good university, I would get a good job, but who knew I would regret it even when I was about to sign the contract... Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys stay for dinner today, I'll go prepare it now."

Shen Jiang: "If Songxue is willing, I have a suitable position here."

Chen Ru was stunned. Shen Jiang's job was either a pharmacist, a cashier, or perhaps an accountant? No, no, none of these jobs would suit Song Xue. Her major wasn't suitable. Furthermore, her previous company was a large, publicly listed corporation. Asking her to work at Mingxin Hall now would be too much of a blow for her daughter.

It wasn't that she looked down on Mingxin Hall; they all appreciated Shen Jiang's kindness. But her daughter had a strong personality, and rather than trouble Shen Jiang to arrange an easy, leisurely job for her, which she might not be happy with, it was better to let her calm down and slowly find a suitable job.

Chen Songxue obviously thought the same thing: "Sister Shen Jiang, you don't have to worry about me. I really like working in marketing, and I want to continue looking for a job in this field."

Shen Jiang looked at the slightly resistant expressions of the family of three, and as if thinking of something, he spoke, "My cousin and his wife have been busy planting medicinal seedlings recently and haven't been to the store, so I haven't had time to tell you. Not long ago, I bought shares in Kunyuan Medicinal Materials Factory and plan to launch the "Mingxintang" brand in the future. I wanted to ask Songxue if she's interested in working at the factory to familiarize herself with the job."

Kunyuan happened to have no one close to her. Chen Songxue was her cousin's daughter, someone she trusted, so it was a good fit for her. And if Chen Songxue had any ambition and ability, Kunyuan would be the perfect platform for her to showcase her talents, because what Boss Chen needed most was talent in marketing.

Chen Houkang and Chen Ru both knew Kunyuan Medicinal Materials Factory. After all, it was once a famous leading enterprise in Nanze City. However, they had not paid attention to it in recent years and realized that it had been declining. They still thought it was as powerful as before.

Chen Houkang and Chen Ru looked at each other in disbelief. This place sounded much better than the Su Group, and Shen Jiang was one of the owners. This way, as long as Songxue worked hard, she wouldn't be bullied and marginalized like this again.

Chen Houkang: "It sounds like losing sesame seeds and picking up watermelons."

Chen Songxue obviously figured it out quickly, and she immediately seized the opportunity to express her opinion: "Sister Shen Jiang, I want to try my hand at Kunyuan Medicinal Materials Factory. I've worked at Su Kang Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of the Su Group, and I'm familiar with the processes of pharmaceutical companies. Don't worry, I'll do my best."

When Shen Jiang heard the words "Su Kang Pharmaceutical", her heart tightened. She seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't have time to grasp the fleeting thought.

Shen Jiang looked at Chen Songxue, who was full of anticipation, and promised her, "When you've rested, come find me at the store. I'll take you to meet Mr. Chen, the boss of the pharmaceutical factory. He's the head of the factory and he values ​​practical work. You can learn a lot from him."

Chen Songxue couldn't wait: "Then I will come to the clinic to see you at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Shen Jiang nodded: "Okay. It's settled."

Chen Ru was so happy that she was almost at a loss for words. The gloom that had settled in the house suddenly disappeared. She said cheerfully, "Old Chen, you entertain Xiaogu at home. I'll go to the market to buy some more food. We can celebrate tonight."

Chen Ru picked up her bag and went out in a hurry, not giving Shen Jiang any chance to refuse.

On the other hand, Godwin nodded with satisfaction when he heard about buying food and celebrating.

During this period, the factory has arranged the production of Chinese herbal facial masks, mainly focusing on whitening, moisturizing and acne removal. However, due to the excessive usage of one of the basic medicinal ingredients, Angelica dahurica, Shen Jiang’s stock is a bit tight.

Currently, Shen Jiang's greatest support in the other world was the Black Dragon boss, Godwin. Unfortunately, the Black Dragon had fled to her, forcing her to temporarily put her plans for exploring new areas on hold and instead focus on her cousin's medicinal herb fields, which had recently started production. She had initially intentionally controlled the growth rate of the medicinal herbs in the fields, and she didn't know what was happening there.

When Chen Houkang heard that she came to the village to check out the planting of medicinal herbs, and saw that the sun was about to set, he took her to the fields without saying a word.

"Ever since this batch of medicinal seedlings came to life, quite a few funny things have happened," Chen Houkang said with a laugh. "I used to think these fellow villagers were honest and decent, but I didn't expect them to become thieves in the middle of the night, running into the fields to steal our medicinal seedlings."

This was also the first time Chen Songxue had heard of this. She was a little surprised and skeptical: "What's so funny about this?"

The medicinal seedlings that she had worked so hard to grow were stolen, but her father could still smile about it. He is really heartless.

Chen Houkang: "Haha, you don't know, these medicinal seedlings are all spiritual. Only our family and the villagers who bought the medicinal seedlings from us can grow them alive. The stolen medicinal seedlings can't survive. Isn't it strange?"

Chen Songxue didn't believe this and said casually, "I guess they don't know how to raise them."

Shen Jiang nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, these herbs are highly effective and much more spiritual than ordinary herbs."

You know, this was all her doing. She personally placed magic circles in the fields of my cousin and the villagers who bought medicinal seedlings. Rather than leaving people guessing, she'd rather lead them down a more crooked path, lest some curious people dig up the land to see what was going on.

Chen Songxue was stunned. She thought her cousin Shen Jiang would be disdainful of her father's feudal and superstitious ideas, but she didn't expect that she would be even more excited than her father.

Chen Songxue was a little confused: Has the world become like this now?

The herbs in the medicinal herb fields were growing well, their growth rate no different from that of ordinary herbs. Shen Jiang inspected several large magic circles and found no signs of damage or magic leakage, which pleased him greatly. Aside from stealing herbs, no one here was so bold as to destroy the fields.

Shen Jiang: "Uncle, please take a look at the villagers who didn't steal the medicine. If they are willing, arrange for them to help me grow a few medicinal herbs. The factory will have a high demand for them in the future."

Chen Houkang: "That's great. In fact, quite a few people have come to our house recently to say good things about us, including some who bought too few medicinal seedlings before, and some villagers who regret not buying any. Your aunt and I were just thinking about how to tell you about this."

Everyone was from the same village, and they were all essentially distant relatives, separated by several layers. They were indeed angry when those people spoke harshly, but when others spoke kindly, they found it difficult to rebut. The couple discussed matters at home and eliminated the villagers who had previously made sarcastic remarks and encouraged isolation, as well as those who had stolen the medicinal seedlings. They were still willing to lend a hand to the remaining half of the villagers. After all, they had lived together in the same place for decades, so to say there wasn't any personal connection would be a lie.

Shen Jiang suddenly said, "Uncle, I want to set up a medicinal herb company. You'll be responsible for purchasing the herbs in the village. What do you think?"

She had this idea when she arranged for her cousins ​​to return to the village to grow medicinal herbs. After all, the problem of the source of medicinal materials has always existed. If you want to solve it, you have to solve it from the root. Instead of making small moves, it is better to make this area bigger and stronger. In this way, the medicinal herbs from the other world can grow continuously on this land.

Chen Houkang was completely bewildered by his niece's barrage of offers. Shen Jiang had not only arranged a job for his daughter, but also a new one for him? Head of a medicinal materials company—that sounded pretty impressive.

As Chen Houkang hesitated, Godwin entered the herb field. He gazed at the familiar, neatly arranged weeds, lost in thought. As if sensing wisps of magic in the air, Godwin subconsciously tried to grasp those faint but persistent magical energies.

But to his disappointment, the magical energy seemed to have some kind of natural limitation. It just entered his body and then escaped from his body with his breathing. It was visible to the naked eye that the medicinal herbs grew more lush and rich, and suddenly grew several centimeters taller.

The magical energy extracted from the black dragon's body was extremely pure. Shen Jiang could feel a different presence in the air from a few meters away. When she turned around, she saw Godwin reaching out to grab the air in frustration.

Such a sad picture...

Shen Jiang knew that Godwin wanted to capture the pure magical energy at this moment, but the way he tried his best but got nothing was really funny. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When Godwin heard the laughter, he turned around innocently and saw the believer smiling with narrowed eyes, looking like he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Godwin was stunned at first, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt that the believers' behavior made him feel more comfortable than their trembling and distraught appearance that day.

The bolder the believers were in their interactions with him, the more satisfied Godwin was. After all, this was the personality he had worked so hard to cultivate.
