Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Verse 108 is to encourage you to take the initiative.
Hanging Pot Medical Hall, Yang Wanli sat in front of the table in the Inner Hall, his brows furrowed with worry.
Yang Tianzhen came over with a pot of tea, "Grandpa, you’ve been sitting here for half a day, have some tea."
Yang Wanli sighed, "The debts of the medical hall are getting more severe. Given the current situation, if no turnaround comes, in another month, we will be forced to shut down."
Yang Tianzhen looked at Yang Wanli sympathetically, "Grandpa, don’t be too anxious. Let’s think it over again, we might find a way to alleviate the problem."
Yang Wanli shook his head, "Relief is not easy in such matters. I’ve asked all my friends, but once they learned of the heavy debts I’m carrying, they treated me as if I were a plague."
Yang Tianzhen furrowed her brows, "What if we could get the agency rights for the Youth-Preserving Pill?"
Yang Wanli gave a bitter smile, "I haven’t ignored your suggestion. Yesterday afternoon, I went to Qingyan Pharmaceuticals, and the line of people there to talk about agency rights stretched from the office to the company entrance; I didn’t even get to see the person in charge."
"Besides, even if we’re lucky enough to get the agency rights, we can’t afford the agency fee!"
Yang Tianzhen remembered that yesterday Chen Fan had promised to help Hanging Pot Medical Hall get the agency for the Youth-Preserving Pill for free. She opened her mouth to mention this but swallowed the words back down.
"That guy was probably just joking with me. Qingyan Pharmaceuticals is such a large company, why would they give away the agency rights for free?"
"Sigh." After heaving a sigh, Yang Tianzhen’s beautiful face also drooped.
At that moment, Chen Fan entered the hall.
"Doctor Yang, sorry to disturb you, please forgive me," Chen greeted Yang Wanli with a clasped fist.
Yang Wanli hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Chen, what brings you here?"
Chen Fan smiled, handing over the contract in his hand, and glanced at Yang Tianzhen, "I’ve come to fulfill the promise I made to your granddaughter."
Yang Wanli took the contract, his face full of shock, "Youth-Preserving Pill agency contract, this..."
Yang Tianzhen also widened her eyes, "You... you actually secured the agency rights for the Youth-Preserving Pill for grandpa?"
Yang Wanli looked at Yang Tianzhen, puzzled, "What’s going on here?"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Yang Tianzhen still honestly recounted the events of the day before.
After listening, Yang Wanli looked at his granddaughter angrily, "You little rascal, those two ginseng roots were my gift to Chen, and you secretly took them back! Are you trying to infuriate me to death?"
Yang Tianzhen wore a guilty expression, meekly saying, "I was just afraid that you, Grandpa, would be taken advantage of again..."
"You!" Yang Wanli waved his sleeve sharply and turned to face Chen Fan, "Chen, I am deeply sorry. It’s my fault for not disciplining this girl. Please don’t take it to heart. I will have her bring the ginseng to you immediately."
Then Yang Wanli glared at Yang Tianzhen, "Don’t just stand there; go and bring those two ginseng roots to Chen immediately!"
Yang Tianzhen reluctantly entered the inner room.
Chen Fan hastily spoke up, "Doctor Yang, do not blame your granddaughter. Had she not spoken up, I would not have known the extent of your difficulties. Since I wanted the ginseng, it’s only right that I help you out."
Yang Wanli gave a helpless smile, "Chen, you’re too kind. The two ginseng roots won’t change my situation; it’s fine to give them to you."
"Besides, please take back this contract. Frankly, I am in such a difficult position that even if I secured the agency rights, I wouldn’t be able to afford the agency fee."
Chen Fan said with a smile, "Doctor Yang, rest assured, the contract clearly states that the agency is given to you for free." freēwēbnovel.com
Yang Wanli’s eyes widened in an instant.
At that moment, Yang Tianzhen came out holding a brocade box filled with ginseng. Hearing Chen Fan’s words, she quickly ran up to him, "Did you really get the agency rights for the Youth-Preserving Pill for free?"
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "It’s all written clearly in the contract, you can have a look."
Yang Tianzhen eagerly took over the contract and flipped through it. Soon, she looked incredulously at Yang Wanli, "Grandpa, what he said... it’s true!"
Yang Wanli’s hands began to tremble with excitement, and he looked at Chen with tears streaking down his face, "Chen, the kindness you’ve shown to us, grandfather and granddaughter, Mr. Yang will never forget!"
Chen Fan laughed heartily and took the brocade box with ginseng, "There’s no need for formality, Doctor Yang, it’s just an exchange of courtesies, this is what I should do."
"For the follow-up agency procedures, you just need to coordinate with the people from Qingyan Pharmaceuticals, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any further."
Chen Fan gave a fist salute to Yang Wanli and turned to walk out of the medical hall.
Yang Wanli personally escorted Chen Fan to the door and watched him walk far away before returning to the main hall.
"Although the agency fee has been waived, purchasing the pills still requires a significant sum of money. I heard that Qingyan Pharmaceuticals offers a unified price of four hundred thousand per pill to its agents, which is still a significant expense for us."
"However, fortunately, dealing in Youth-Preserving Pills is almost a surefire profitable business. We still have time, I can mortgage the medical hall to the bank to get the money for the pills."
"Everything will get better."
Yang Wanli looked at Yang Tianzhen, hope filled his eyes, as the worry that had furrowed his brows had largely dissipated.
Yang Tianzhen was still leafing through the contract when she heard Yang Wanli’s words and suddenly paused, "Grandpa, what did you say just now about the price for agents to purchase the pills?"
"Four hundred thousand per pill, any issue?" Yang Wanli asked, puzzled.
Yang Tianzhen, shaking, handed over the contract, "But... but this contract says three thousand per pill!"
Yang Wanli quickly grabbed the contract, scrutinized it for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and after confirming it several times, was completely astonished.
He and Yang Tianzhen looked at each other and became choked up with emotion, "Tianzhen, you must clearly remember, Chen is a major benefactor to us, grandfather and granddaughter. We must repay his kindness tenfold or even a hundredfold in the future!"
Yang Tianzhen’s eyes also reddened, and she nodded earnestly at Yang Wanli, "Grandpa, I’ll remember that, and I’ll definitely repay him if I get the chance."
After speaking, Yang Tianzhen’s eyes widened as she looked at Yang Wanli, "Grandpa, I promised Chen Fan yesterday that if he got the agency rights for free, I would agree to any request he made unconditionally. I forgot in the excitement..."
Yang Wanli was somewhat surprised, "Agree to any request unconditionally, Tianzhen, you really went all out."
Yang Tianzhen’s face turned red, "Ah, I didn’t expect Chen Fan to manage this, who would have thought..."
Yang Wanli pondered for a moment, "Chen Fan didn’t mention this matter, could it be... he wants you to take the initiative?"
"Take the initiative on what?" Yang Tianzhen asked, her face a picture of innocence.
Yang Wanli laughed heartily, looking at his granddaughter, "Tianzhen, let me ask you, what do you think a young man would ask for when given the opportunity to make any request to a beautiful young girl, unconditionally?"
Yang Tianzhen thought about it, and her face grew even redder, "Grandpa, could it be that he wants me to..."
Yang Wanli nodded, "There probably isn’t any other possibility. Since he didn’t bring it up himself, nine times out of ten, he wants you to take the initiative. Tianzhen, what do you think?"
Yang Tianzhen looked frantic, the shyness of a young girl written all over her face, "I... I’ll have to think about it."
She then turned and ran toward her room.
