After exchanging a few jokes with Wang Qing, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered Yang Zihan's mother's illness. To cure Yang Zihan's mother's illness, he would need Xue Xiangcao.
Since Wang Qing is a member of the Wang family, one of the four great families in the capital, she might know something about Xue Xiangcao.
So Liu Xiaoyuan said seriously, "Manager Wang, I have a question for you!"
Because of Liu Xiaoyuan's jokes just now, Wang Qing's neck was still as red as a peach blossom in March.
"General Manager, please ask. I will tell you anything I know!" Wang Qing's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing others.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Do you know a kind of grass called snow grass?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qing thought for a moment, but she couldn't recall anything like it. She shook her head and said, "General Manager, I don't know."
Although he knew that Wang Qing might not know, Liu Xiaoyuan still looked disappointed after receiving the answer.
Seeing the expression on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Wang Qing couldn't help but ask, "General Manager, do you really need this kind of grass?"
"Yes!" Liu Xiaoyuan nodded. Although there were still about ten months left until the year was up, if there was still no news, that time would pass quickly. By then, Yang Zihan's mother's condition would be incurable, and they would have to leave it to fate, hoping to live as many days as they could!
“General Manager, although I don’t know anything about this Snow Fragrance, I think someone might know!” Wang Qing said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up. As the saying goes, "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you."
"Who knows? Tell me quickly!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, standing up from his chair. If what Wang Qing said was true, and someone knew a clue about Xue Xiangcao, Liu Xiaoyuan would immediately ask them.
Wang Qing said, "This person is from the capital, a doctor at Jishantang, named Xiao Qingfeng. He should be eighty years old this year. Xiao Qingfeng's medical skills are extremely superb. He can cure most difficult and complicated diseases that others cannot, and he also knows many herbs that others do not recognize. This time, Li Yihao was able to save his life because he asked Xiao Qingfeng for help."
"However, Xiao Qingfeng has a rather eccentric temper. He won't necessarily welcome you just because you come to his door. Sometimes he'll help if he's in a good mood, but if he's in a bad mood, he won't treat you even if you offer a fortune."
"The Li family begged Xiao Qingfeng for a long time, standing at the entrance of Jishantang and refusing to leave. It was only after seeing the Li family's plight that Xiao Qingfeng agreed to treat Li Yihao."
No matter how eccentric Xiao Qingfeng was, Liu Xiaoyuan was determined to find him, since he was the only clue to obtaining the Snow Fragrance.
"Thank you so much, Manager Wang!" Liu Xiaoyuan quickly thanked Wang Qing. Although he didn't know if Xiao Qingfeng knew any clues about Xue Xiangcao, this was at least good news, better than having no news at all before.
Since Xiao Qingfeng was in the capital, Liu Xiaoyuan felt it would be best to make a trip there as soon as possible, because if Xiao Qingfeng lost all clues about Xuexiangcao, they could think of other ways.
After thinking it over, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to head to Beijing tomorrow; the sooner this matter was resolved, the better.
Since he was going to the capital, he would naturally need to ask for leave again. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know how many days this trip would take. If Xiao Qingfeng didn't have any clues about Xue Xiangcao, he would return soon.
If Xiao Qingfeng has any clues about Xuexiangcao, then it's uncertain when he'll be able to return.
Liu Xiaoyuan felt a little embarrassed because he had just taken leave from his trip to the provincial capital and now, only two days after returning, he had to take leave again.
However embarrassed, Liu Xiaoyuan still had to ask for leave. He dialed the number of Qiang Ge's father, Shen Feiteng, and explained his leave request over the phone. Shen Feiteng generously said that as long as Liu Xiaoyuan arranged things properly, it would be fine.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan started booking plane tickets online. This time, he was going to Beijing, not the provincial capital. Beijing was far from his hometown, and if he took a bus or train, he would waste a whole day on the road.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Lin Xin calling.
"Hey, Uncle Lin, what's up?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Lin Xin said, "Xiao Yuan, there's something I want to tell you, and I hope you'll agree!"
"What is it? Tell me, Uncle Lin, I'll definitely agree to anything I can!"
"I need to go to the capital tomorrow to take care of some business. I'd like you to come with me, is that alright?" Lin Xin said.
Wow! What a coincidence! Liu Xiaoyuan is planning to go to Beijing tomorrow, and Lin Xin is also going tomorrow. It's truly amazing how coincidental things can happen!
“Uncle Lin, I was planning to go to the capital tomorrow. Since you’re going tomorrow, we can go together!” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Lin Xin was surprised by such a coincidence and said excitedly, "That's great! I'll have someone book our tickets right away!"
Lin Xin went to Beijing this time for business. The reason he asked Liu Xiaoyuan to go with him was to ask Liu Xiaoyuan to protect his safety.
Although Lin Xin already had the Tang brothers, Tang Wen and Tang Wu, by his side, and the capital was still the Tang family's territory, after the last incident, Lin Xin didn't think highly of the Tang brothers at all. When choosing between the so-called Tang family and Liu Xiaoyuan, Lin Xin would rather trust Liu Xiaoyuan.
Lin Xin had been worried that Liu Xiaoyuan might be in a difficult position because of his own business when he called. It was quite a coincidence that Liu Xiaoyuan was also going to Beijing.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that he should first inform the hotel's senior management about his trip to Beijing, because the hotel would still rely on them for management while he was away.
Wang Qing was somewhat surprised to learn that Liu Xiaoyuan was going to Beijing the next day. Although she knew that Liu Xiaoyuan would go to Beijing sooner or later, she did not expect it to be so soon, the next day.
Although Wang Qing looked surprised, she didn't say anything.
After announcing the matter to the hotel's senior management, Liu Xiaoyuan went to the front desk and told Yang Zihan. Yang Zihan was deeply moved to learn that Liu Xiaoyuan had gone to Beijing for her mother's medical condition.
"General Manager, let me go with you!" Yang Zihan said.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "If you go, who will take care of your mother? You should stay home and work. Don't worry, I'm just going to find some medicine, it'll be fine, I'll be back soon!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zihan realized that if she went along, who would take care of her sick mother at home? She had blurted it out because she was worried about Liu Xiaoyuan's safety.
"Okay! Then General Manager, please be careful!" Yang Zihan said with a concerned expression.
“I will. I’m going to Beijing. No one will take you home tonight, so you’ll have to take a taxi home by yourself, okay? Don’t be stingy with the money. I’ll reimburse you for the fare!” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Yang Zihan nodded gently, like a tender wife, and said, "I know, I'll take a taxi home tonight."
