"We should break up. I don't want to delay my studies anymore."
When Chu Yang preemptively said these words, the campus belle was stunned. Wasn't this what she was supposed to...
This business trip is to Bozhou.
Bozhou Chinese Medicinal Herbs Market is the world's largest Chinese medicinal herb trading market, as well as a distribution center and price formation center, and is known as the top of the four major Chinese medicine capitals.
Bozhou is an ancient city in Anhui Province with a rich historical heritage and numerous scenic spots and historical sites.
It is worth mentioning that Bozhou is the birthplace of Cao Cao, and there is a Cao Cao Memorial Hall and Cao Cao's underground military tunnels built here.
In addition, there are many tourist attractions to visit.
Chu Yang's trip this time was certainly not for tourism.
After arriving in the evening, Lou Chunyue and I found a hotel near the medicinal herb market to stay at.
"Big Brother won't arrive until tomorrow, so let's rest here tonight." Chu Yang put his luggage away and looked around the luxury suite to see if there were any hidden cameras or anything like that. He also checked the mirror.
The bathroom in the luxury suite is very large, and the double bathtub is quite spacious.
After filling the tub with water, Chu Yang and Lou Chunyue soaked in it.
Lou Chunyue stirred the water with her hand and said something shocking: "Are you secretly seeing Xiao Li?"
Chu Yang was taken aback, then feigned surprise and said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. She's Big Brother's daughter. How could we possibly..."
Lou Chunyue pressed her finger to his mouth: "Still trying to argue?"
Chu Yang removed her hand: "Sister, let me continue my excuses."
"Ah, I knew it!" Lou Chunyue looked angry, but she wasn't really angry.
Instead, he sighed softly, "Actually, I realized a long time ago that the girl had fallen for you. That day, she told my uncle that she had a boyfriend, but wouldn't say who it was. I guessed that it was probably you."
"When did you start?" she asked.
"Back in high school, we had only known each other for a short time then." Chu Yang stopped hiding it and told Xiao Li about his relationship with her.
"...You're really something! You truly are my uncle's good second brother. If he finds out, let's see how you handle this!" Lou Chunyue pointed at his forehead.
Then, counting on his fingers, he said, "Let me count how many: Li Qingshu, Zhou Yang, Xiao Li, and me... four! Now tell me, are there any other women?"
Chu Yang grasped her slender waist and moved slightly.
A ripple appeared on the surface of the bathtub water.
Lou Chunyue patted him on the shoulder: "Finish what you have to say. I'm magnanimous and won't get angry."
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher Su Yan shouldn't count, since she was only a jerk once."
"There are teachers too?" Lou Chunyue rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "You're really something! You've got some nerve!"
"That's not important. The main thing is my brother. He's asking me to help investigate Xiaoli's boyfriend. Sis, can you give me some advice?" Chu Yang said shamelessly.
"How would I know? I only know that your older brother will definitely be very angry," Lou Chunyue said huffily.
“If it were just Xiaoli, it might be easier to resolve, since you’re not your uncle’s biological brother. But now you’re with another woman… Sigh, it’s too complicated, too difficult.”
Chu Yang smiled helplessly: "Alright, I'll think of another way."
"Who told you to be such a womanizer!" Lou Chunyue snorted twice.
Chu Yang said seriously, "Don't say that. I would never start something and then abandon it. Being serious and responsible is my attitude."
"I believe you." Lou Chunyue chuckled and pondered for a moment, then said, "Let me think about it. Let's get through this first."
"Then, don't be too quick to confront your uncle. Wait a while, until your relationship and interests are stronger. Even if he's angry then, he probably won't really do anything to you. He'll probably have no choice but to accept it."
"After all, he's even more absurd than you. Now I finally understand why you two hit it off so well and became sworn brothers."
Chu Yang smiled, and then heard her say, "Xiao Li probably doesn't know, right?"
"About you?"
"Yes, I bet you're keeping it from her. This girl is naive, but not stupid. She might react even more strongly than your uncle when she finds out. You should be prepared."
“I know that.”
Chu Yang sighed slowly: "It's too hard to be a scumbag, but it's even harder to be a deeply affectionate scumbag."
...
The next morning, Chu Yang and Lou Chunyue left the hotel and went to the Chinese herbal medicine market.
After getting off the bus, the entrance to the Chinese herbal medicine market was right in front of us, and a strong smell of Chinese herbs wafted towards us.
Shen Nansheng was waiting by the gate, and raised his hand to call out, "Second brother, Chunyue, over here!"
He had already sent people to scour the market here beforehand, bought some of the medicinal herbs he specified, and rented a large warehouse to store them.
Then they collected them from all over the country and transported them over in batches discreetly.
Today, the last batch of Banlangen (Isatis root) arrived, and with this shipment, the warehouse is now completely full.
Chu Yang and Lou Chunyue walked over.
"Big brother, why are you all alone?"
“Didn’t you say we should keep a low profile? Fewer people means better results,” Shen Nansheng said.
"Big Brother is indeed cautious," Chu Yang praised.
"Let's go, let's go check out the warehouse." Shen Nansheng led them all the way to the warehouse area of the medicinal herb market, found the warehouse he had rented, and opened the door.
The dazzling array of Chinese medicinal herbs, filling the warehouse to the brim, startled Chu Yang.
"Brother, this is too much!"
“If you hadn’t told me to keep a low profile, I could have gotten even more!” Shen Nansheng stretched out his hand and clicked his tongue, “With your brilliant planning, Second Brother, all of this is just shiny money in my eyes. Who would complain about having too much money?”
Chu Yang laughed and said, "That's true, but this much is already enough. Big brother, do you have the inventory record? Let me take a look."
Shen Nansheng took a notebook out of the desk drawer, opened it and handed it to him: "It's all written here. The goods were delivered in different batches, and the quality is the best."
Chu Yang took a closer look and found that he had indeed stockpiled quite a lot.
