Chapter 129 How long can my grandson live?
"Bai's Pharmaceuticals?" Wang Chengwen was taken aback. "What do you want with him? To buy medicine? Are you feeling unwell? Have you been to the hospital?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at Feng Tianyu discreetly: "I do want to order some precious medicinal herbs from him because of some things. But don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy."
Xiang Yueqi and Guan Xianshi immediately understood her intention and looked towards Feng Tianyu in unison.
Feng Tianyu's lips curled slightly, his expression revealing obvious smugness.
"I see." Wang Chengwen pondered for a moment, "I do know this Mr. Bai; he's an old classmate of our station director. He did come to the annual meeting, but..."
"It's just that he's getting old and doesn't like crowded places. The station director prepared a lounge for him, and he's probably spending his time there making tea right now."
"In other words, I won't be running into him today."
"That's right," Wang Chengwen said, then asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
Ye Wanxi turned to look at Feng Tianyu: "He's in a hurry."
"Then I'll take you there."
Ye Wanxi lowered her eyes slightly and did not agree immediately. After all, it was the director who invited her and the director gave her the lounge.
Originally, he didn't want to be disturbed, but Wang Chengwen must take responsibility for taking people out so rashly.
Seemingly sensing Ye Wanxi's thoughts, Wang Chengwen stood up and urged, "Alright, I'll take you if I say I will. It's not a big deal, and I can still save face for you. But taking you there is one thing, whether they want to see you or not is not something I can control."
Ye Wanxi was slightly relieved: "Okay, then please pass on a message for me in a bit. Whether I'm willing to meet or not, I should at least give it a try."
"Then let's go quickly."
"Hmm." Ye Wanxi turned to look at Feng Tianyu. "Do you want to sit here with your second brother for a while? I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you."
"I'll join you too."
"Wouldn't it be bad if too many people were together?"
“No.” Feng Tianyu took Ye Wanxi’s hand and said mysteriously, “He would probably be very willing to see me.”
"Um?"
Putting aside Ye Wanxi's doubts, it can be seen that the director of Banana Channel is really caring towards her old classmate. The lounge arranged for him is not downstairs, but in the director's independent reception room.
When Ye Wanxi and the others arrived, the two were busy playing chess. The security guard standing outside the door pushed the door open and entered to announce their arrival.
"Director, Brother Wang brought over a Miss Ye, who said she would like to meet Mr. Bai."
The station director was already in a predicament due to the encirclement and suppression by his old classmates. With one move, he fell right into the opponent's trap and lost the whole game.
"Oh dear, I lost!" The station manager said with a face full of regret. "If I hadn't gone to the wrong place just now, I could have won this round."
Old Mr. Bai chuckled and said, "You always say that. With your terrible chess skills, you'd better wait until your next life to beat me."
"Sigh, I just don't believe it!" The station manager said, intending to overturn the chessboard and start another game. But just as he reached out his hand, he remembered something and turned to look at the security guard.
What did you just say?
"Brother Wang brought a Miss Ye over, saying she wants to meet Mr. Bai."
"Miss Ye?" The station director's face darkened. "What's wrong with Wang Chengwen? Why is he bringing people here at this time? Go out and tell them that we are busy right now and we won't see anyone."
"Wait a minute." Mr. Bai suddenly called out to the security guard, "Miss Ye, the Miss Ye who caused such a commotion at your annual party just now."
"Yes, yes, that's her."
"Is it her who wants to see me, or the young master of Mingqi Real Estate?"
"Brother Wang said that Miss Ye wants to see you."
Mr. Bai looked up at his old classmate and laughed loudly, "This is quite strange. A young girl I've never met before has come to find this old man. Well then, let her in."
When Ye Wanxi walked in, she immediately saw an old man wearing a dark Tang suit, with gray hair, who looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old, sitting on the other side of the sofa with a cane.
Opposite him was another stylishly dressed elderly man, presumably the station director Wang Chengwen had mentioned.
After entering the room, Wang Chengwen greeted the station director first, and then turned to look at Old Master Bai.
"Mr. Bai, this is Miss Ye Wanxi. She has something to discuss with you."
As an elder and someone who needed her help, Ye Wanxi was very respectful and greeted him first: "Hello, Mr. Bai."
"Hello, Miss Ye." Mr. Bai's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he turned to greet Xiang Yueqi, "President Xiang is here too."
"Old Bai, I'm free today, so I'm just hanging out with the younger generation in my family."
When Xiang Yueqi said this, his eyes were always on Ye Wanxi, and his protective intention was evident in his words.
Mr. Bai nodded, but his gaze lingered on someone on the other side.
"President Feng is here too."
Feng Tianyu nodded, taking it as a response.
Ye Wanxi blinked, subconsciously tugged at Feng Tianyu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know him?"
"I know his grandson."
"Grandson?" Ye Wanxi looked closely at the old man's face, then suddenly realized, "Fellow patient?"
"Hmm." A smile flashed across Feng Tianyu's eyes; he wasn't surprised that Ye Wanxi had guessed it.
Old Mr. Bai observed their subtle actions, his weathered eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a profound and insightful depth.
After confirming that Feng Tianyu knew the other party, Ye Wanxi calmed down considerably and got straight to the point: "Mr. Bai, we apologize for disturbing you. We came to see you today hoping to order a batch of medicinal herbs from you."
"Medicinal herbs? What kind of medicinal herbs do you want?"
Ye Wanxi was well prepared and handed over a piece of paper filled with the names and quantities of medicinal herbs.
Mr. Bai took a look and asked in surprise, "What do you need so many precious medicinal herbs for?"
Ye Wanxi smiled and said, "I naturally have my reasons."
"These things are quite expensive."
“Price is secondary; the quality of the herbs is what matters most. I’ve heard that the Bai family has been herb merchants for generations, with a deep-rooted expertise and genuine products. That’s why I’ve come here, hoping that your herbs truly live up to their reputation.”
When Mr. Bai heard her say that, he raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "The medicine produced by the Bai family's pharmacy is absolutely of high quality."
"So you mean you're willing to take my order?"
"Don't rush into that. I heard you just told the fortunes of a few spoiled brats down there, and it was incredibly accurate."
"You flatter me. It's just a side job, and I'm grateful for everyone's high regard for it."
"I wonder if I have the honor of having Miss Ye tell my fortune?"
Ye Wanxi was stunned and found it a little funny.
What's going on today? Usually, hardly anyone comes to her for fortune telling, but today they're all flocking to her.
"What do you want to calculate?"
"Let's see how much longer my grandson Bai Haoqi can live."
