At this moment, Xie Ziyuan sat with her hands folded on her knees, looking at the person in front of her with a dignified and elegant posture and a smile.
"Master, thank you for taking me to the auction held by the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association."
Across from her, the old man sneered, "If it weren't for your exceptional talent, I wouldn't have brought you in to broaden your horizons."
The old man spoke rudely, but Xie Ziyuan smiled gently the whole time. When the old man paused, she even offered him tea, saying, "Master, please have some water."
He paused for a moment, then apologized, "I'm sorry, my family treated you badly. I apologize on their behalf."
The old man took a sip of tea, and just then someone else came to invite him, so he got up and went out.
Xie Ziyuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. To be honest, her master had a terrible temper. Even after so much time had passed, he still scolded Xie Ziyuan in front of everyone the day he returned.
However, as the other party continued to curse, Xie Ziyuan sensed something was wrong. It seemed that her master had a lot of opinions about Ding Huizhu.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she wasn't Ding Huizhu's biological daughter, otherwise her master wouldn't have been able to accept her back so easily.
Thinking about this, she felt somewhat dissatisfied with Ding Huizhu.
She's the eldest daughter of the Ding family, a wealthy heiress, how can she not know how to behave properly?
What a useless piece of trash! He's good for nothing except showing off at home!
However, now is not the time to completely break off relations; she can only endure it for the time being.
When Huo Yuntang came in, he saw his fiancée looking downstairs with a slight smile, which touched him deeply.
"Why are you so happy? Is it because there are medicinal herbs at this auction that can treat Old Master Xie?"
Xie Ziyuan snapped out of her reverie, not denying it, but her brows furrowed slightly. "Speaking of which, I'm a little worried. I only got the land-level number plate..."
The Pharmacist Association's medicinal herb auctions differ from other auctions. In addition to ordinary pharmacists, they are divided into three levels—Heaven, Earth, and Profound—for major families.
The best resources are naturally prioritized for holders of top-tier license plates, and so on.
Only the medicinal herbs that are left over by the major families are made available to ordinary customers for auction, with the highest bidder winning.
Before Huo Yuntang could speak, Xie Zhendong interjected, "Miss, you are too modest. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't even have the right to come in!"
That's true. The Xie family is a powerful force in Linjiang City, but they're no match for the capital.
Unless Grandpa Xie personally intervenes, there is no chance of obtaining the land-grade license plate.
Xie Ziyuan's abilities are now no less than those of the Xie family patriarch.
Xie Ziyuan smiled, pursing her lips, and didn't say anything. Noticing that Xie Zhendong's eyes were a little unfocused, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Xie Zhendong snapped out of his daze: "Miss, I just saw Pharmacist Chen downstairs... Could he also be here for the auction?"
Xie Ziyuan shook her head. "I don't know about that, but I didn't invite him, so he probably can't get in, right?"
Xie Zhendong felt relieved. As long as it wasn't Xie Ziyuan who invited him, he could still keep Pharmacist Chen firmly under his control.
Huo Yuntang waved his hand and instructed his assistant to investigate. Soon after, the assistant hurried upstairs.
"Young Master, Miss Ziyuan, Pharmacist Chen came with Xie Li."
The private room fell silent for a few seconds. Xie Ziyuan's gaze swept lightly across Huo Yuntang's face as she smiled and said, "Has Yuntang met my sister? Come to think of it, I haven't."
Huo Yuntang didn't want to answer the question. The experience of forcing Xie Li's car to stop that night, wanting her to withdraw the lawsuit with a check, but being outmaneuvered instead, made him very unhappy.
