The woman was Jin Youcai's cousin, and she was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a black lace dress that looked more elegant and glamorous than when they last met.
Yuan Dao said, "Zhang Fan, get in the car, we're going to the auction."
As Zhang Fan got into the car, Yuan Dao introduced, "Zhang Fan, this is my daughter, Yuan Xin, who is also Jin Youcai's cousin."
Zhang Fan greeted him: "Hello."
Yuan Xin nodded slightly and replied with a curt "Mm".
Yuan Dao laughed heartily: "Xin'er, aren't you two very familiar with each other? Don't worry, don't be shy."
Yuan Xin glared at Yuan Dao: "Dad, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't go."
Yuan Dao quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
He started the engine, and the black Maybach drove away from the hospital.
Yuan Dao didn't stay quiet for long before he couldn't help but speak up: "Zhang Fan, we are really destined to meet. You helped me identify fake medicine before, treated my nephew, and you even went to the same university as my daughter."
Yuan Xin gave him a warning look and said coldly, "Dad, drive carefully."
Zhang Fan glanced at Yuan Xin subconsciously. Was Yuan Xin also from Jiangcheng University?
Fearing that Yuan Xin would be angry, Yuan Dao ultimately chose to keep quiet.
Yuan Xin stays locked in her room writing scripts all day. It took him a lot of effort to coax her out of the room, and he really angered her. Who knows when he'll be able to coax her out again?
Yuan Dao was very worried because Yuan Xin was getting on in years and didn't go out to make friends. Today, he planned to let Yuan Xin go to the auction to meet more people, just in case she found someone she liked.
Inside the moving Maybach, there was no sound of conversation; it was unusually quiet. However, Yuan Dao couldn't hold back for long and couldn't help but speak up.
Zhang Fan then learned that Yuan Dao, like Jin Youcai's father, worked in the construction industry.
However, Yuan Dao entered the industry early and made a lot of money. Now the company basically doesn't need to be managed anymore. With so much money, he got bored and started collecting things.
However, he doesn't like collecting antiques or collectibles; instead, he prefers collecting traditional Chinese medicine, especially rare and expensive herbs. He believes that these herbs are becoming increasingly scarce, and their prices will definitely rise.
After being scammed when buying medicine last time, he had someone come to his home to check the medicine and discovered that he had bought a lot of fake medicine, resulting in a significant financial loss.
Later, when Jin Youcai fell ill, Yuan Dao heard Zhang Fan's name again and realized that Zhang Fan was a capable person.
Since Zhang Fan happened to be borrowing a rhinoceros horn, he took the opportunity to have Zhang Fan check the quality of the medicine he was using, so as not to be deceived.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of Tianren Hospital.
Leng Juan and Wei Yangze argued frequently, and she was worried that if Wei Lai found out, it would affect her recovery, so she tried her best to cover it up, which left her exhausted and unable to resist going out for some fresh air.
She stood at the entrance of the building, enjoying the fresh air coming in from the window, finally getting a moment to catch her breath.
After enjoying the breeze for a while, she regained her spirits and was about to return to her ward when she caught a glimpse of a patient being pushed in a hospital bed downstairs. In a daze, she saw a very familiar face.
Leng Juan's pupils suddenly dilated. She took a few steps downstairs, but the place was deserted.
She shook her head, thinking she must have been seeing things.
Fan Yuan's child died at birth. Even if the child looks like Fan Yuan, it's just that the child looks like her.
Thinking of Fan Yuan, Leng Juan sighed.
I wonder if Dr. Zhang can treat mental illnesses. If he can, I must ask Dr. Zhang to treat Fan Yuan.
Perhaps Fan Yuan can return to normal.
Outside the Jiangcheng Haosheng Auction House, a black Maybach stopped. Yuan Dao got out of the car and handed the car keys to a waiter.
When the waiter saw Yuan Dao, he immediately assumed that the man must be wealthy and was very curious about who the important person sitting in the back of the car was.
As soon as the door opened, a pair of flip-flops came out, followed by baggy trousers and a white T-shirt.
The waiter was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He never expected that the man sitting in the back seat would be dressed like a loser.
However, the waiter was a man of the world. When he saw that Zhang Fan was handsome, he immediately thought that the clothes Zhang Fan was wearing must be from some luxury brand.
Luxury brands like to manufacture clothes that look cheap but are actually incredibly expensive.
Thinking about it this way, the waiter felt that Zhang Fan exuded an air of nobility.
The Haosheng Auction House is a very large building with ten floors in total. The bottom six floors are the auction halls, and the top four floors are the offices.
Each floor has a different type of display. Medicinal herbs are on the fifth floor. Zhang Fan followed Yuan Dao into the elevator and went up to the fifth floor.
Upon entering the VIP lounge on the fifth floor, two waiters in suits stood at the door, checking everyone's entry credentials.
This medicinal herb auction is quite high-end; only those with an invitation are eligible to attend.
Yuan Dao took out a red and gold-plated invitation and handed it over. After the waiter checked it and found no problems, he let the three of them in.
As soon as you enter the hall, you are greeted by the melodious sound of a guzheng. The hall is decorated in an antique style and has fifty mahogany tables and chairs, each seating four people.
Yuan Dao was led to a seat at the back by a waiter. A tall female waitress in a cheongsam walked over and made tea for them.
Yuan Dao took a sip, closed his eyes contentedly, smacked his lips, and slowly said, "Pre-rain Longjing tea, indeed, tastes sweet."
Yuan Xin said irritably, "Dad, how long will the auction last? I need to go back and finish my script."
Yuan Dao: "It will only take two hours at most, and it will be over soon. After it's over, Dad will take you to the antique market to look for old books."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xin's eyes lit up, her irritation disappeared, and she became quiet and still.
Each table had a brochure for the medicinal herbs to be auctioned that day, listing the names and quantities of the herbs, along with photos of the actual herbs.
Yuan Dao flipped through the catalog and pointed out several medicinal herbs that Zhang Fan wanted to photograph, urging Zhang Fan to pay special attention to them.
