Chapter 347 Gu Yan Offline 1
On the other side, the Chu family in Beijing.
Chu Hao dd'd Fu Zhi twice on WeChat, but not only did he fail to reach Fu Zhi, his message was also pushed to the bottom by other people's chats on Fu Zhi's WeChat.
He didn't dare to call Fu Zhi, but he was sure that Gu Yan was an imposter.
Chu Hao did not want to deal with Gu Yan, but Chu He, despite Chu Hao's obstruction, accepted Gu Yan as his apprentice and placed her in a bungalow in his yard. "You don't need to worry about Chu Hao. He has always had high standards and has few apprentices. I like the dosage and technique you use in making perfume. You have a promising future."
This was the first time Gu Yan heard such an evaluation after the accident.
The elder from the Chu family nodded with a little excitement. On the way, he made small talk, "By the way, Master, I saw that the first prize of our competition this time has some herbs that I can't even name. What are they used for?"
"You mean Youtengcao? That's an ancient herb that can rival Youlan, but it has less medicinal properties. It mainly has a calming effect. Ancient books have recorded that it can be used to refine Xiaohuandan, which can cure autism and other diseases."
Gu Yan's expression changed for a moment, her thoughts were in a mess, and her mind went blank for a moment.
She ran out with Lu Yumo's invitation letter, but she didn't carefully investigate what the invitation letter in Lu Yumo's hand was used for!
But now she understood that there was only one person in the Lu family who had medical skills and met the age requirements for the competition. "So this is what Fu Zhi used to treat Lu Yushen..."
She murmured quietly, but Chu He heard it with his sharp ears, "You mean Fu Zhi?!"
Gu Yan was startled and said cautiously: "You, you know her."
Chu He sneered, "Yes, of course I know her! I have a huge grudge against her!"
Chu He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he thought about the fact that he was still using Fu Zhi's medicine to prolong his life. "Since she needs the prize so much, then you should fight for her and let her go home disappointed!"
"But Master, I am not so confident in treating diseases other than perfume making, especially those caused by severe burns and damaged vocal cords, and I don't have any good herbs, but Fu Zhi has orchids..."
Gu Yan was very afraid that if she didn't do this to bring honor to Chu He, her future would come to an end immediately.
No different from a street rat.
"I heard that Chu Hao also specially prepared Qianling Grass for a student this time. This is a magical medicine for treating vocal cords. However, the Chu family only has this one herb, and if you are not careful in the process of making the medicine, you will waste the good herb. You also know that for a pharmacist, the most important thing is whether the herb in hand is of high quality..."
As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. If you don’t even have high-quality medicinal materials, and still want to make high-quality medicines, isn’t that just a pipe dream?
Therefore, Chu He looked at Gu Yan, a little puzzled, "I saw that my senior brother treated you well at first. This Qianling Grass has been kept in the treasure room. Is it prepared for you?"
Gu Yan swallowed her saliva. She wanted to win fairly and also wanted the Lu family to completely dislike Fu Zhi.
The pleasure of revenge grew in her heart. She thought she had not revealed her identity as an imposter, so she nodded and said, "I have an invitation letter from Senior Chu Hao. Although I don't know that he will no longer host the competition, I am sure that these are medicinal herbs for me. Can you help me get them out?"

After returning from the Ouyang family, Fu Zhi casually gave Li Nanli a basket of orchids, and began to prepare for the Chu family's assessment. Every day, she watered and fertilized the fairy grass she planted and cultivated, praying that it would bloom soon.
It is worth mentioning that the person who came to deliver Youlan to Fu Zhi was Lu Yumo who skipped classes.
She wore a pair of oversized sunglasses, a small flowered dress, a pair of cloth sandals, and her hair was tied into two buns with cherry hairpins. She said she was afraid of being robbed.
Fu Zhi: “…”
What could Fu Zhi say? She could only hug her flowers and plants and hide in the corner, away from the fool.
But this didn't stop Lu Yumo from getting closer to her. He hadn't seen Fu Zhi for a long time, and he missed her. He also explained to her, "You now have millions of fans online. Some time ago, someone even created a CP super topic for you and President Fu."
Lu Yumo clicked on the super topic on Weibo to show Fu Zhi.
This is a group of posts that became popular from a certain forum.
The moderator of the forum was particularly disgusted by Fu Zhi's going to foreign physics competitions to win glory for the country, and Fu's method of taking cultural relics without paying.
I think these two patriots, one holds the lifeline of China's economy and lives in a luxurious high-rise building with 888 floors, and the other grew up without a father or a mother and was hit by a little white flower...
Who wouldn’t love this kind of overbearing president vs. inspirational little wife? !
...Yes, this kind of character setting inexplicably touched the hearts of some people. Netizens made up stories out of nothing and forcibly paired up Fu Zhi and Mr. Fu as a cp [Fu Fu Dezheng cp] and [Fu Chang Fu Sui cp]!
Fu Zhi who witnessed everything: "???"
I talk about myself?
Will I have to sleep with myself in the future?
Of course, a big name is a big name after all, and Mr. Fu is Mr. Fu after all. It is conceivable that a national husband worth hundreds of millions and a small-time figure like an eighteen-tier character are paired together. Except for a few cults who are making fun of it, most people think this is a crazy criticism.
Occasionally there are a few comments scolding Fu Zhi for being a loser.
However, Lu Yumo comforted Fu Zhi, "You don't need to read the online comments, it's not important. Our mother said that because you were scolded, she has completely unfollowed Mr. Fu, and followed Mr. Fu's negative posts together with our father. Just like them if you have nothing to do."
Fu Zhi: “???”
Just stop being a fan, and now you’re still trying to get the big fans to backtrack? !
Fu Zhi's soul questioned, "Isn't she one of Mr. Fu's wives? Doesn't she have any bottom line?!"
Lu Yumo: "You are her bottom line!"
After a pause, he patted Fu Zhi on the shoulder and said, "From now on, if Mr. Fu's fans scold you, I will also scold him as a dog man in Mr. Fu's black post!"
Fu Zhi: “…”
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Lu Yumo put away his phone, frowned, and pointed at the ugly pot of dogtail grass in Fu Zhi's hand, "What the hell is this?"
"Xianzhicao is an exotic herb that grows in high-temperature magma areas. You won't understand it even if I tell you more. Anyway, it is the most professional for treating vocal cords!"
Lu Yumo: “…”
Why doesn't he understand?
As for the Herba Epimedii, he had heard of it on the news when he was a child. There were only a dozen or so plants of this herb left in the world. It was almost a cultural relic and had been auctioned abroad for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Anyway, just looking at the price, it is hundreds of times more advanced than other herbs.
But the problem is, the fairy grass in my impression is pretty good-looking, it doesn’t look like a dog’s tail, and it has an indescribable strange smell...
In response, Fu Zhi only said, "Beautiful parents may not give birth to beautiful children, and you should not be too perfunctory in life. This grass has a beautiful heart!"
Lu Yumo: “…”
It's just a blade of grass, and you're still telling me whether its soul is beautiful or not?
It was during the period when Fu Zhi was growing the Xianzhi grass.
Chu He taught Gu Yan a lot of theoretical knowledge. None of the freshmen this year were exceptionally strong enough to beat the teacher. This was why Chu Hao was disappointed and didn't want to manage the competition anymore.
Although he didn't expect Gu Yan to get the most out of Qianling Grass, using good medicine and concocting a lower-level potion would definitely make it easier to win the competition than others who didn't have any spiritual medicine to make potions.
Chu He couldn't wait to see Fu Zhi's regretful expression.
If Fu Zhi dares to come, he will make him hand over the antidote and never come back!

After all, the Chu family is a big family, so for this enrollment competition held every few years, they also invited news reporters to the scene for interviews.
At this moment, the scene of the final round of the competition.
All the disciples and teachers of the Chu family had arrived. They sat down on their small stools and gathered in groups of two or three, chattering in low voices.
"Look, Senior Chu He's disciple is here!" Someone shouted, and there was an uproar in the crowd. Everyone looked at Gu Yan who got out of the car next to Chu He.
Gu Yan dressed up deliberately today, but still wore a mask.
He did not seem stage-frightened in front of a group of experienced seniors.
Especially at this moment, many people recognized that she was holding the Qianling Grass for treating vocal cords in her hand, and they stared at her with their eyes wide open.
The Qianling grass has dense branches and leaves, and at the top there is a small pink flower, which is small and exquisite, with a strong fragrance.
"Is this the Qianling Grass that our Chu family treasures?"
"It's really a magical medicine. Just smelling the scent of this herb makes people feel refreshed!"
"Isn't it too lucky to be Senior Chu He's apprentice? Everyone knows that for a pharmacist, having high-quality medicinal materials will make him invincible. What's the point of this competition? Even if she made medicine with her eyes closed, she would still win first place!"
"But I remember someone said that this spiritual herb was used to make medicine for our uncle to treat his vocal cords. There is only one of this herb. Can she just take the herb away? Does Grandmaster Chu Hao really know about this?"
…
All kinds of amazed gazes fell on Gu Yan.
Gu Yan felt satisfied again. She didn't notice that some disciples quietly slipped away from the venue. She bowed gracefully and said, "I will make the medicine well and try to cure my brother's illness. I hope you can give me your advice on the areas where I didn't do well."
Everyone was a little jealous and dissatisfied that a junior like her had such an opportunity.
However, seeing that she became humble, they put their worries aside and cheered her on.
"Compared to Gu Yan, who participated in the competition honestly, I heard that there is another contestant who was recommended to participate in our competition." Some disciples who knew about the situation muttered, "Her name is Fu Zhi. I heard from Senior Chu He's other disciples that she got Senior Chu He's recommendation letter through the back door. She has no ability at all, but she still dreams of becoming a disciple of our Chu family!"
As soon as the words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of ridicule.
"Backdoor? How can you cure diseases and save lives without being down-to-earth?"
"With so many reporters here today, if she can't even mix the medicine, she'll be useless and will be reported as a selling point!"
"Gu Yan easily beat those who took the backdoor, not to mention that she had the support of the Thousand Spirit Grass in her hand. Who will be embarrassed?"
No one took Fu Zhi seriously.
Seeing this, Chu He nodded with satisfaction and sat down on the field.
"Hey, hey, hey, Fu Zhi is here!" Suddenly, a disciple who came running from outside shouted, and the others immediately looked towards the door in tacit understanding.
The girl has a delicate appearance, a pair of beautiful almond eyes, and delicate and smooth skin. When she is next to Lu Yumo, she is simply a beauty attack!
However, everyone's eyes did not stay on her for too long, and soon fell on the flower pot in her hand.
There is a big doubt in the little eyes.
"What is that thing she's holding in her hands? It's so ugly and has a weird smell. Is she making medicine for our uncle to drink? She must be crazy..."
A person's first impression often determines her subsequent view of that person.
They didn't like people taking the back door, and the grass in Fu Zhi's hand was really unsightly, so they were all speechless.
Seeing this, Gu Yan took the lead and walked towards Fu Zhi, lowering her voice and saying, "I know you want to ask for medicine for Lu Yushen, but you'd better not have such a dream. I will definitely be the winner in the end!"
In the final round of the competition, including Fu Zhi, there were only three people.
Fu Zhi felt that Gu Yan's confidence mostly came from the weeds in her hands.
She hated Fu Zhi to death, but she was also extremely grateful that she had taken the lead in becoming Fu Zhi's master, while Fu Zhi was still standing still.
She wanted to use her medical skills to completely crush Fu Zhi's pride today.
Before she could even think of the word "arrogant", Gu Yan felt a huge force coming at her, and she flew several meters away and fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I've been eating too much rice recently, so I'm a little too strong." Lu Yumo rubbed his wrist and looked at Gu Yan with a smile, "But don't be angry, I'm just chasing away a fly! It's buzzing and it's giving me a headache!"
After a pause, he boasted on behalf of his sister, "We will definitely win this game!"
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then she burst into laughter. She looked at Lu Yumo with a look of disdain, "I think you are crazy. Do you know what Qianlingcao represents? In all the books on flowers and herbs, Qianlingcao ranks third in the degree of being used as medicine to treat vocal cords. Even if I make a low-level potion, the effect is better than this pot of rotten flowers of yours!"
Fu Zhi: "So why are you so proud if you're not number one?"
Gu Yan: “…”
Gu Yan's heart sank. Qianlingcao is a high-grade medicinal herb that is very difficult to cultivate. People in the know know that the number one medicinal herb, Xianzhicao, is on the verge of extinction. How could she get it, a national first-class protected herb?
Gu Yan felt upset. "I don't have any fairy grass, but what about you? You can't say that the thing in your hand is fairy grass, right?!"
Fu Zhi subconsciously touched her fairy grass, then came to her senses and wiped her hand on Lu Yumo's sleeve in disgust.
With a straight face, he nodded seriously, "Yes, that's right, it's the fairy grass."
An unexpected answer.
Gu Yan was stunned on the spot.
Crazy, really crazy!
The others also looked at the ugly herbs in Fu Zhi's hand with an expression of "what a lunatic".
I don’t know who laughed first, but then everyone started laughing.
"How dare you pretend this ugly herb is fairy grass?"
"Have we never seen fairy grass in books?"
"Can you be kind enough to cheat someone? Is it so bad to use a backdoor?"
Fu Zhi was confused.
Why can't her medicinal herb be Herba Cibotii?
It turns out that not only do people look at each other’s faces, but they also look at medicinal herbs’ faces?
Alas, it was her fault, she only cared about her own appearance and let the flowers and plants in her hands grow into abnormal shapes and never return...
Fu Zhi lowered his head and sighed, but in the eyes of others, this expression showed that he was guilty.
Gu Yan stood up from the ground, "Ms. Fu has always been arrogant, but I didn't expect that she can lie so easily. If you don't find it disgusting, please don't dirty our land!"
Lu Yumo refused to be outdone and said, "You know it's not true now? Why are you so proud? Did you become so beautiful by yourself? My sister has done everything by herself. I advise you to say less rude words, so as not to be disgraced and despised by everyone today!"
Gu Yan couldn't win the argument with him, so she finally said, "Okay, just comfort yourselves. When the game is over, I'll see how you can still be so proud!"
