“Yup…” Rong Qi nodded.
Lu Qi felt that she was always drawn into these situations. She pouted, sipping her boba tea while lamenting, “This boba tea suddenly doesn’t taste good anymore. Sob.”
A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Rong Qi’s mouth. Lowering her head, she pondered for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Eagle, [Send some people to watch over Rong Holdings. 1 have shares in there, so make sure 1 don’t lose money.]
Eagle replied almost instantly, [Got it, Madam Qi! 1’11 send someone right away. Is there anything else you would like us to do?]
This was the first time Rong Qi had initiated contact with Eagle. She looked at the way Eagle addressed her, pondering for a moment.
‘Madam Qi? What kind of address is that?’ Rong Qi thought.
Then, Rong Qi replied, [Nothing else.]
Eagle responded, I Alright! Madam Qi, please focus on your studies, and we’ll take care of it.]
After giving her instructions, Rong Qi tossed her phone aside and leaned on the desk, taking a nap.
In the back row, Xu Yi was beyond envious of Rong Qi.
‘While others were doing their a.s.signments, she was napping; when others were studying, she was playing with her phone; and when others were diligently taking notes during cla.s.s, she was daydreaming. And yet, she could still get a perfect score and be a top student! What kind of supernatural life was this?’ Xu Yi thought. He pursed his lips, feeling somewhat resentful.
After school, Rong Qi sent a message to Ye Nanshen and had Xu Yi drive her to South City. She was going to the same herbal shop as before, and she wore a mask as she went in to buy herbs.
Xu Yi followed behind Rong Qi and whispered, “Do we need to change the medicine for Master Shen?”
Rong Qi shook her head and said, “I’ve already prepared his medicine, and 1 gave him needle treatment regularly. There’s no need to change it for now.”
Xu Yi nodded, relieved that Ye Nanshen was okay. He had heard from Lu Chengzhou that Ye Nanshen had a one-month critical period during which he had two episodes already. But now, his condition had stabilized a lot and Xu Yi felt rea.s.sured.
Because Rong Qi had purchased a large quant.i.ty of herbs the last time, the shopkeeper had already taken note of her. When he saw Rong Qi and Xu Yi come in, he immediately approached them and asked, “Miss, do you need the same herbs as last time?”
Rong Qi shook her head and said, “This time, 1 need Scarlet Firevine, Nine-Bell Blossom, Lone Hornroot, Wild Peony Blooms, and Ebony Blossom Chives… Same as before, five kilograms each.”
Rong Qi listed a series of herb names, and the shopkeeper noted them down one by one.
It was only after Rong Qi had finished listing them that the shopkeeper looked at her in astonishment. He said, “Miss, the herbs you’ve mentioned are all used for treating severe external injuries. Traditional medicine works slowly, so if someone is injured, 1 suggest you take them to the hospital for treatment. It should be a better option depending on the situation.”
The inclusivity of traditional medicine could be seen from the att.i.tude of this medical pract.i.tioner. In the face of patients and injuries, there was no distinction between traditional and modern medicine.
Rong Qi smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, there are no severely injured people. I just want to provide some recuperation.”
“That’s good then,” the shopkeeper said.
The herbal shop wasn’t large, but it had a comprehensive collection of herbs. Moreover, it was somewhat hidden in terms of location, which Rong Qi liked.
Counting and sorting the herbs took nearly an hour and a half. After all the herbs were accounted for, Rong Qi asked the shopkeeper for a few additional herbs before leaving.
Rong Qi didn’t ask Xu Yi to drive to Jingsheng Corporation this time. Instead, she headed straight back to Clearcreek Mansion and moved all the bags and packages from the car to an empty room next to the study.
Meanwhile, in Jingsheng Corporation, the sound of high heels echoed in the corridor outside the CEO’s office..
