“Sure, if you can find it, I’ll personally take you to Beijing.”
A clear, deep voice came with the sound of a door being pushed open.
Su Yan paused for a moment when she saw who came in, then raised an eyebrow and said, "It's you again."
Jiang Jingxing, dressed in a military green uniform, strode in. "Miss Su doesn't seem to want to see me."
He stopped in front of her, looking down at her clean, delicate face.
Su Yan smiled, "No, not at all. It's just that we've run into each other a bit too frequently these past two times, so I was just surprised."
Tang Li looked at the two of them, completely bewildered, and asked, "When did you two meet?"
"This comrade helped me with a small favor a couple of days ago, so this is the third time we've met," Su Yan replied.
Upon hearing this, Tang Li gave Jiang Jingxing a strange look.
Despite wearing this uniform, he has a cold and calm personality. Having known him for so long, Tang Li doesn't think he's a warm-hearted person.
Of course, he didn't think Jiang Jingxing was interested in Su Yan either.
Firstly, although he doesn't say it, his years of being single show that he still has feelings for his first love.
Secondly, the Jiang family is a prestigious family at the top of the ladder in Beijing. As the next successor, Jiang Jingxing not only has extremely high standards, but also not just anyone can cross the threshold of the Jiang family.
Although Tang Li was pleased with Su Yan, he had to admit that her status was indeed a bit low, so he naturally wouldn't think about it in terms of romance.
Since it's not about men and women, then Jiang Jingxing must have ulterior motives towards Su Yan?
"So that's how it is," Tang Li said absentmindedly.
"May I ask Miss Su why you made such a request?" Jiang Jingxing asked, looking at Su Yan.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see right through people's hearts.
What prisoners fear most is being stared at by those eyes.
It looks good, but it can be deadly.
Su Yan was not afraid at all. She met his scrutiny with a generous smile and said, "The medicinal cuisine I make can nourish people's bodies, but on this premise, you must learn medical skills well."
Jiang Jingxing looked at her with surprise and asked, "You mean, you want to try your medical skills to see if you can save that person?"
"No," Su Yan replied coldly and sarcastically, "I want to see just how incompetent these so-called top doctors you talk about really are."
She felt that the doctor who suggested using thousand-year-old ginseng to prolong life was not saving lives, but killing them.
As a doctor with decades of experience, how could he not know the saying "too much of a good thing is bad"?
What if the thousand-year-old ginseng doesn't have a life-saving effect on that leader and instead causes a backlash?
So she wanted to see the doctor to see if he was actually a human or a ghost.
Jiang Jingxing: "..."
Tang Li: "..."
The little girl is quite fierce.
Jiang Jingxing stared at her for a few seconds before finally replying, "Okay, how long will it take?"
"About a week," Su Yan said. "Whether I find it or not, I'll let you know."
Nothing is more important than her making money.
She had only been running her stall for a day, and it was impossible for her to just abandon it because of this, especially since her mother hadn't even started working on it yet.
Jiang Jingxing seemed dissatisfied with the timing and was considering what to say, but Tang Li stopped him with a look, so he didn't speak.
After agreeing on a time, Su Yan left without saying anything more, her mind heavy with worry.
After she left, Jiang Jingxing turned to Tang Li and asked him to explain.
Tang Li tapped the table and explained unhurriedly, "Su Yan said a week, but at her pace, she can find it in three or four days. She likes to do things at her own pace, and if you rush her, she will become dissatisfied with you."
"You know her quite well," Jiang Jingxing said casually.
"I've pretty much figured out her work style and personality. But as for her... she's so young, yet she seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. She just finished her college entrance exams, but does she look like a vibrant college student?"
Tang Li felt that the word "little fox" was the most fitting description for Su Yan.
Anyway, that's the feeling Su Yan gave him after every conversation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing couldn't help but picture Su Yan's face, which was smiling but lacked genuine joy in her eyes, and he raised an eyebrow.
It certainly doesn't look like it.
Do you think she can find it?
Tang Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "Her family owns a mountain. To find these old medicinal herbs, you can probably only find them deep in the mountains. The chances are about fifty-fifty."
It's not that thousand-year-old ginseng doesn't exist, but the regulations require it to be fresh.
Isn't that asking too much of someone?
Jiang Jingxing's expression changed slightly.
There are all kinds of large animals in the deep mountains. If he were to encounter one, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would come out unharmed, let alone a girl who is weak and helpless.
Su Yan is incredibly audacious for money!
Is her family short of money?
"The clothes she wore when she first did business with me weren't good. She made a lot of money selling medicinal herbs to me in the following transactions, and now she's running a stall. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be short of money. Wait... why are you so interested in her?"
Tang Li realized what was happening and immediately re-examined Jiang Jingxing, finding it increasingly strange. "You haven't actually fallen for her, have you?"
“No.” Jiang Jingxing’s face darkened, and he had no choice but to give his reason: “Her brother was my comrade-in-arms. He sacrificed his life while on a mission. Don’t joke about this kind of thing in the future.”
Tang Li gave an awkward smile.
No wonder.
"Okay, okay, I won't joke around with you two anymore."
...
Su Yan handed the last family photo to Huo Qianli and then went back to her stall to pack up.
