Chapter 274 If you have a brain disease, get treatment!
Imagining a bright future, Meng Weiwei's somewhat uneasy heart calmed down, and she regained her confidence and composure, as if she had already reached that step. She glanced at reporter Ding, and curled her lips at his useless look, "There is a little situation, but it's not a big problem. Don't worry, you look so scared."
Reporter Ding choked. It was obviously Meng Weiwei who lost her composure first. He forced a smile and said, "That's good."
He originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing Meng Weiwei's arrogant and disdainful look that looked down on everyone, he finally didn't ask.
Seeing Meng Weiwei so confident, he thought everything should be fine.
If he knew that Meng Weiwei was so confident because of her imagination, reporter Ding would definitely tell her to get treatment if she had a brain disease! Why did she come to harm him? Imagination and reality are completely different!
However, reporter Ding didn't know that after he left, Meng Weiwei imagined a bright future again before returning home. She thought her grandfather should have bought some ginseng, but she didn't see him.
By the time the evening paper came out at 3pm, Mr. Meng still hadn't come back. Meng Weiwei was a little worried, "Could it be that he hasn't bought it yet? Or maybe he just delivered it?"
Mr. Meng indeed hadn't bought it yet, so he went there as quickly as possible. The address Gu Qingshi gave him was that of a specialty store, but when he got there, Gu Qingshi wasn't there.
Seeing that Mr. Meng seemed to have something urgent, the people in the specialty store kindly told him that Gu Qingshi might be in Gu’s Kitchen. He went to Gu’s Kitchen again, but he still wasn’t there.
After waiting for a while in Gu's kitchen but no one came, Mr. Meng couldn't help but go to the hospital to find Doctor Wang, but Doctor Wang's Lu Yuan had already finished the treatment and there was nothing he could do.
After running around without finding anyone, Mr. Meng finally returned to the store. The people in the store told him that Gu Qingshi would come later.
After waiting for another hour, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and Gu Qingshi finally came back.
"Finally I'm back." When Mr. Meng saw Gu Qing, he stated his purpose. "Boss Gu, the ginseng I bought last time was very good. I want to buy another one this time. No, two."
Mr. Meng decided to buy one more to see if Mr. Zheng wanted it later. If he didn’t want it, he could keep it at home just in case.
Gu Qingshi shook his head, "Mr. Meng, you are my first customer after all. I shouldn't refuse a returning customer, but I won't sell you anything today."
"Not selling it for the time being? Why?" Mr. Meng was anxious.
"We don't have any stock." Gu Qingshi certainly has some, but he plans to stop buying in the near future.
Mr. Meng didn't quite believe the reason for being out of stock. "Boss Gu, did you read yesterday's report? That's why you're hesitant to sell it? It's okay."
Gu Qingshi looked at Mr. Meng and suddenly raised her eyebrows. Why didn't she think that Mr. Meng's last name was Meng before? "Who are you to Meng Weiwei? Grandfather?"
Mr. Meng paused for a moment, "Yes, do you know Weiwei?"
"We know each other. You also mentioned the report. It seems that the person behind this report is indeed Meng Weiwei."
Gu Qingshi shook out the newspaper he had been holding in his hand. "I don't plan to sell to ordinary people for the time being, let alone you. Mr. Meng, although I don't know why you came to buy again, I won't sell to you in the future. After all, you are a poor old man who was deceived."
Old Meng froze when he saw the evening paper in Gu Qingshi's hand. He didn't expect that in the end he would be held back by his granddaughter.
The matter was of great importance, so Mr. Meng apologized out of shame and later raised the price, but it was useless as Gu Qingshi refused to sell it.
This put Mr. Meng in a difficult position. He had promised to do it, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't do anything to Gu Qingshi.
Mr. Meng returned home dejected. When Meng Weiwei saw him, she asked, "Grandpa, did you buy it?"
"How can I buy the good things you did?" Old Meng was furious when he saw Meng Weiwei. "Tell me, why did you target Gu Qingshi? How did she offend you? I told you not to continue, why didn't you listen? Now she knows about it and will never sell ginseng to me again!"
Meng Weiwei's heart sank. She didn't expect that the plan would go wrong. "Is it useless to raise the price?" Logically speaking, with Gu Qingshi's background and short-sightedness, he should sell it if he was given some benefits.
"You think I didn't add it?" General Meng threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, "Meng Weiwei, remember, it's your own fault that you can't tune into the main TV station."
Meng Weiwei was getting angry. When she saw Meng Lao making a phone call, she asked hurriedly, "Grandpa, who are you going to call?"
"Of course, call Mr. Zheng and tell them the truth." The patient can't wait.
"Wait a minute, Grandpa." Meng Weiwei hurried over to stop him, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
Meng Weiwei's idea was to find someone to help buy it, even if the price was raised, but Gu Qingshi somehow saw through it and said, "Are you from the Meng family? It seems that the Meng family is in urgent need of ginseng. Tell them that I am not short of money and will not sell it to them."
Meng Weiwei was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Mr. Meng sneered, "Don't bother. I'll contact Mr. Zheng and tell him that I can't buy it."
"Then he will be able to find out about Gu Qingshi once he asks around, and Gu Qingshi will definitely seize the opportunity to hook up with them." Meng Weiwei was upset. She absolutely couldn't let Gu Qingshi hook up with a family like that, and she couldn't let Gu Qingshi step on them to get ahead.
"Grandpa, if it doesn't work, just buy some other ginseng on the market. Gu Qingshi's ginseng is good, and other ginsengs are not bad either. They won't recognize them. They all have the same effects. I still want to go to the imperial capital."
Old Meng felt sorry for Meng Weiwei, so he had to find another way and spent three times the money to buy a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Although it looked a little worse than Gu Qingshi's ginseng, it was still good after all. After buying it, he sent it to the Zheng family overnight.
Mr. Zheng called personally to express his gratitude and still transferred the money to Mr. Meng’s account.
Mr. Meng breathed a sigh of relief. He only hoped that Mr. Zheng had not seen the news and that the ginseng would work and he would get better.
But things did not go as planned. The next day, Mr. Zheng called again and said that the efficacy of the ginseng this time was much worse than before, and wanted to ask where he bought it.
Mr. Meng could only say that he couldn't find him either, but Mr. Zheng had already asked someone to inquire about him, and soon found out about Gu Qingshi and also learned the news.
Having personally confirmed the effectiveness of Gu Qingshi's ginseng, how could he believe this report? Mr. Zheng soon found out why Meng Weiwei targeted Gu Qingshi.
Just for some personal feelings, he used his identity as a media worker to retaliate and discredit ginseng which can really save lives. Such behavior is simply unreasonable.
Mr. Zheng wanted to help Gu Qingshi and clear his name as soon as possible, but he didn't have to do anything at all, because Gu Qingshi had already returned it on his own.
Reporter Meng Weiwei devalued precious medicinal materials and also implicated traditional Chinese medicine. Compared with Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed in decline today, but this is also something left by our ancestors. There are still countless inheritors of traditional Chinese medicine and countless people who believe in it on this land.
