Chapter 50 - 50 49

50: Chapter 49 50: Chapter 49 When Fang Yi stepped onto the stage, everyone was taken aback.

Originally, Fang Yi was standing next to Shen Binan, appearing merely as an attendant or perhaps a bodyguard.

Moreover, the suit he wore was extremely old-fashioned, with nothing eye-catching about it.

If anything was eye-catching, it was the recent bidding competition with Bai Mingqi.

Everyone thought he was overreaching himself, like a moth to a flame.

Yet, it was this bodyguard who was so significant that this iconic figure had personally invited him on stage, causing such a stir, something that everyone had not anticipated.

Who the hell could have expected such a twist!

When Secretary Hu saw Fang Yi, he couldn’t help but size him up.

The young man was dressed rather old-fashionedly, but the spirited look between his brows could not be concealed.

Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Fang Yi remained so calm and strolled leisurely, completely indifferent to the complex expressions of the crowd, which showed that his state of mind had reached a certain level.

Secretary Hu thought to himself that this young man really was different, no wonder he made Mr.

Zhou so anxious.

“Excuse me…

are you Mr.

Fang Yi?” Secretary Hu asked.

Fang Yi smiled and said, “Yes, thank you.”

Secretary Hu nodded his head.

Meanwhile, Fang Yi walked over to Mr.

Zhou and greeted him, “Old man, hello.”

Umm…

The air instantly froze, and Mr.

Zhou’s face showed slight embarrassment, while the audience below, upon hearing the address, were speechless.

This man, whom even Secretary Hu treated with such respect, was bluntly called “old man” by this guy, showing audacity indeed.

Even Secretary Hu felt somewhat uncomfortable, but seeing Mr.

Zhou waving it off indifferently, he then smiled and said, “Fang Yi, right?

Come, let’s talk in the back.”

“Just a moment,”

Fang Yi turned his gaze towards Ying Zheng and said, “Mr.

Ying, I need a favor.”

Ying Zheng, being astute, said, “Mr.

Fang, is it about that ginseng?”

Fang Yi smiled and replied, “That ginseng is very important to me.

I would appreciate it if you could keep it for me.”

Ying Zheng said, “You know Mr.

Zhou, naturally.” The implication was that he was doing it as a favor to Mr.

Zhou.

Ye Qing nodded, signifying she understood his intention, and then walked to the back of the stage with Mr.

Zhou, followed by Secretary Hu.

In the backstage area, Fang Yi was about to speak when he saw Mr.

Zhou suddenly bowing deeply to him.

Fang Yi was startled and asked, “Old man, what are you doing?”

Mr.

Zhou solemnly said, “I, Zhou Xuewen, didn’t expect that thirty years later, I would be able to meet the offspring of my benefactor.

It’s truly the honor of my lifetime.

Please, tell me what you need, and I will do everything within my power to repay you.”

Secretary Hu was genuinely shocked, seeing Zhou Xuewen show such respect to Fang Yi.

He could not help but take a few more looks at Fang Yi, finding nothing extraordinary at first, yet an aura of mystery was undeniably present.

Knowing that Mr.

Zhou was even his employer’s personal physician, whom his employer held in high esteem, Secretary Hu was utterly baffled by Mr.

Zhou’s excitement towards such a young man.

Fang Yi waved his hand dismissively, curious, “This benefactor you mentioned, is he my old man?”

Zhou Xuewen replied, “Exactly.

It was Mr.

Fang, your benefactor.

Just a while ago, he made a phone call to me, asking me to look after a young man who’s his descendant, to help in any way possible.

Helping in this matter means repaying the favor, and finally, your call is what I’d been waiting for.”

Fang Yi stroked his chin and said, “That indeed sounds like the old man’s style.

Well, Mr.

Zhou, thank you for the trouble.”

Zhou Xuewen hurriedly said, “It’s no trouble at all.”

Actually, Fang Yi had not expected that the eccentric old man had such influence; a single phone call had established such a connection.

He wondered if the old man had other contacts.

If so, things would be much easier in the future.

Hmm, he’d have to have a good chat with the old man one of these days.

…

Meanwhile, outside in the hall, Lin Mengyan led Yiyi to Shen Binan.

Lin Mengyan said, “Wow, Shen Binan, who would have thought?

Your bodyguard turned out to be so impressive, even I didn’t see that coming.”

Shen Binan gave her a glance and said indifferently, “Are you jealous?” Her words hit the mark.

Lin Mengyan slightly raised her chin and defiantly said, “Jealous?

Ha, me, jealous?

Do I look like I’m jealous?

Do I?”

“…Yes.”

“…”

Lin Mengyan took a deep breath and said, “Shen Binan, don’t get smug.

So what if you have that bodyguard?

I’ll find someone even better.”

Shen Binan mocked, “Aren’t you going to poach him?”

Lin Mengyan replied, “Once the person I hire beats your bodyguard, I’ll poach however I want, and you won’t be able to do anything about it.”

Shen Binan remained as cold as an iceberg, “Good, I look forward to seeing your performance.”

…

With Secretary Hu making the arrangements, Fang Yi met with Ying Zheng alone.

As one of the three great tycoons of Moon City, Fang Yi took a closer look and saw him clearly.

This fat man indeed had a very pale face covered with layers of fat and wore a suit without any mature man’s grace.

Yet, ironically, he was one of the tycoons of Moon City, which proved that sometimes ability really had nothing to do with appearance.

However, because of the close distance Fang Yi took an even clearer look, the dark circles under the fat man’s eyes were noticeably severe.

“Mr.

Ying, nice to meet you,” Fang Yi reached out smiling.

“Mr.

Fang, nice to meet you,” Ying Zheng responded with a smile, lacking any pretentious airs of a tycoon.

The two shook hands and then sat down, and Ying Zheng had someone serve tea.

“Mr.

Ying, it seems you have had some trouble sleeping these days,” Fang Yi casually remarked.

Ying Zheng’s chubby face smiled, “Mr.

Fang, you have sharp eyes indeed to notice that right away.

Yes, I’ve indeed been having poor sleep lately; these dark circles are too heavy.”

Fang Yi’s smile turned slightly sinister, “It seems Mr.

Ying’s nightlife must be pretty good.”

Ying Zheng was initially stunned, then burst into loud laughter, pointing at Fang Yi and said, “Mr.

Fang, you are impressive to have noticed that.

I wonder if you have any good solutions to help me out.”

Fang Yi replied, “That’s simple.

Mr.

Ying, I can prescribe you a remedy, and if you follow it, I guarantee it will cure your ailment.”

Ying Zheng was taken aback, his comment having been just a joke.

He only met this young man because Secretary Hu had introduced him as a gesture of goodwill.

Yet, he hadn’t expected Fang Yi could actually solve his problem with such certainty.

Ying Zheng asked, “Mr.

Fang, you aren’t fooling me, are you?”

Fang Yi laughed, “Why would I fool you, Mr.

Ying?

Besides, I want to discuss another matter with you.

Let me guess, your sleep issues stem from beautiful temptations, right?”

Ying Zheng was internally shocked, taken aback by Fang Yi’s accurate guess.

Seeing Ying Zheng’s astonishment, Fang Yi continued, “Don’t be too surprised, Mr.

Ying.

I do have a bit of medical skill, and I’m quite confident I can treat your issue.

If you don’t believe me, I can have Old Mr.

Zhou vouch for me.”

Ying Zheng waved his hand, “No need, Mr.

Fang.

If you can cure my issue, I’d be incredibly grateful.

By the way, you mentioned you wanted to discuss a matter with me, which is…?”

“Oh, it’s this.

I recently bid on a ring and that ginseng.

I was hoping you could give me a few days’ extension until I can gather…”

“Never mind that,” Ying Zheng waved his hand again, “It’s just a small amount of money.

If you can get rid of this issue for me, you can even have those items for free.”

Fang Yi was slightly taken aback, having expected Ying Zheng to be more frugal and hard to negotiate with.

However, the tycoon turned out to be quite agreeable, so Fang Yi immediately took his pulse, then prescribed a remedy for Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at the prescription, clearly puzzled as he didn’t know a thing about it.

“Mr.

Ying, let someone get this prescription filled and brewed, take it once a day,” Fang Yi said with a chuckle, “Just keep taking it for three days, and I guarantee it will cure your ailment.”

Ying Zheng hesitated, “Does this medicine have any side effects?”

“Side effects?…” Fang Yi pondered for a moment and replied, “Yes.”

“What side effects?”
