“Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meridians stagnate when exposed to cold and flow smoothly when exposed to heat. Jade has a constricting property and absorbs the yin and yang energy of the human body for nourishment. You also have shoulder muscle strain, which is already a blockage of meridians, and your constitution is cold. Wearing jade will only aggravate your condition,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Nonsense! Jade is good for health, how could it worsen your condition?" Geng Yuan sneered.
"Then Auntie might as well try it on. In five minutes, you'll feel a chill run from your feet to your head, and your strained shoulder muscles will also ache slightly." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"I've already put it on, so what?" Li Qianlan didn't believe her and put it on her wrist directly.
However, less than five minutes later, she shivered, a chill running from her feet straight to her head.
Moreover, the shoulder muscles, which had not recurred for a long time, started to ache slightly again.
She was startled and quickly took off the bracelet, after which she felt a little better.
"Mom, why aren't you wearing it anymore?" Lin Nianwei asked.
"No, I won't wear it anymore, I'll put it away first." Li Qianlan quickly put it away, it seemed that Ye Xingchen was telling the truth.
Although she can't wear it, the bracelet costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and she can't bear to give it up.
Upon seeing her expression, Geng Yuan knew what was going on, and his face turned somewhat grim.
"What is this again?" Li Qianlan looked at the traditional Chinese medicine inside the sealed box.
"This is……"
"This is Anshen Xihuang Pill, a miraculous medicine from Geng's Pharmaceutical Company, right?" Ye Xingchen interrupted him: "It is made from Asparagus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Polygonatum sibiricum, ginseng, rhinoceros horn, and other ingredients."
"It's said to nourish the liver and kidneys, replenish yin and blood, beautify the skin, and calm the mind. It's claimed that it can eliminate dark spots on the face within half a month after taking it?"
“That’s right, this is a recipe passed down from my great-grandfather. Because the process is demanding and the production is complex, it cannot be mass-produced. Now, one pill can fetch 30,000 on the black market.” Geng Yuan snorted.
Then he smiled and said, "I noticed that Auntie has dark spots on her face. This medicine can remove the dark spots and make her skin smoother."
"Really? Is the medicine that miraculous?" Li Qianlan's eyes lit up.
"Medicine shouldn't be taken indiscriminately. The dark spots on Auntie's face are due to poor blood circulation, blocked liver meridian, and an imbalance of yin and yang in her body, leading to poor blood circulation. If I'm not mistaken, Auntie doesn't have her period for half a year, and even when she does, it's with blood clots."
"And do you experience lower abdominal pain and chills every month? And frequent dizziness and blurred vision?"
"How...how do you know so much?" Li Qianlan was stunned.
"Mom, I told you he's a very skilled doctor, why didn't you believe me? Today, let him help you regulate your body," Lin Nianwei said.
"Can my situation be adjusted?" Li Qianlan asked.
"Yes, but if you actually take this An Shen Xi Huang Wan, it will make your condition worse. I happen to have a gift for you, Auntie."
After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he took out a dried herb. The herb was about five inches long, with fine, dense hairs and naturally formed patterns on it, resembling plum blossoms.
"This is... Thousand Heart Grass?" Geng Yuan's expression changed slightly; he was somewhat unsettled.
"What is Thousand Heart Grass?" Li Qianlan asked in confusion.
"It nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves complexion and blood circulation, calms the mind and brightens the eyes, and it's a very precious traditional Chinese medicine." Geng Yuan, who makes traditional Chinese medicine, was no longer calm. He rubbed his hands together and asked, "Ye Xingchen, can you sell me this medicine?"
"This is for Auntie's treatment. I'm selling it to you? Are you alright?" Ye Xingchen put the medicine on the table and smiled, "Auntie, take this medicine home, cut off a small piece, and decoct it in water."
"In just one week, your hidden ailments will be cured, the dark spots on your face will disappear, and your skin will become more radiant."
"Oh? Really? Okay, thank you." Li Qianlan could tell from Geng Yuan's expression, who couldn't take his eyes off the medicine, that it must be very valuable.
She quickly and carefully accepted it, then said with a smile, "Xiao Ye, I think I've heard of your company. It must have involved a significant investment, right?"
"We invested 500 million yuan. Of course, it can't compare to the foundation of the Geng family, but the orders for the drugs we developed are already close to 10 billion yuan," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Good, very good, you're quite promising for your age." Li Qianlan praised repeatedly, "Hey, you young people should handle your own affairs, haha."
"Ye Xingchen, how much is the medicine you gave my mother worth?" Lin Nianwei caught up with him after dinner.
"It's probably worth around 300,000," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Are you crazy? Why would you give her something so expensive?" Lin Nianwei was speechless.
"What's wrong with giving my future mother-in-law a gift?" Ye Xingchen joked.
"Who's your mother-in-law? How annoying!" Lin Nianwei lightly punched him with her fist, but the expression on her face was one of great joy.
"One of my dramas has already started filming at the film and television city in Tianhai Ruyi Lake Scenic Area. Shall we go visit the set today?" Lin Nianwei said with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and then nodded.
Ruyi Lake Scenic Area is located at the westernmost point. A film and television city has been built here, with many facilities, but for some reason, not many film crews come here to shoot scenes.
Lin Nianwei chose this place because the rent was cheap.
After all, her company was just starting out and needed money in many areas, so she wanted to save as much as possible on costs.
"The investors for the new drama are quite good, but I didn't hire any big names. I only found a few newcomers, but their acting skills are excellent."
Inside the film studio, Lin Nianwei and Ye Xingchen walked towards the film crew's encampment.
“If you need investment, you can come to me. Otherwise, I won’t feel comfortable holding onto these shares,” Ye Xingchen said.
“It’s not that we can’t afford popular celebrities, but I think we should give more opportunities to newcomers. As long as they have good acting skills, that’s enough,” Lin Nianwei said. “And it would be better to spend the money on production.”
"Your idea is good, but the current state of dramas is... well, let's just say it's not great." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
“I came from this industry, so I know that there’s no shortage of good actors and good scripts, so we can’t be swayed by capital,” Lin Nianwei said with a smile.
As they talked, the two arrived at the film crew's location. It was just past noon, and the actors were preparing to start work after their rest.
"President Lin, President Ye, you've arrived?" Director Liu greeted them.
Director Liu is the bearded director who shot commercials for Xingchen Group. Lin Nianwei felt good about working with him, so she invited him over.
"Director Liu, have we started filming?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
"Haha, this is Ms. Lin giving me an opportunity, and it's also an opportunity for me to try," Director Liu said with a smile. "I'm confident I can succeed."
"Everyone, perk up, let's get to work!" a crew member shouted through a megaphone.
The actors arrived one by one, and everything was ready.
Just then, a dozen or so local villagers barged in noisily.
"Are you a new film crew? We'll set off some firecrackers to bring you good luck." A simple-minded guy picked up a string of firecrackers, lit them, and they went off with a series of crackling sounds, filling the ground with the smell of firecrackers.
