Boom-
Qin Chuxia felt a rush of heat shoot from the soles of her feet straight to the crown of her head. Her beautiful face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
Her heart pounded wildly despite herself, and her mind went blank. She nodded instinctively and stammered out a promise. "I... I promise! I won't tell anyone! Even if my parents ask, I won't breathe a word!"
Seeing her adorably bashful expression, Chen Lin nodded in satisfaction.
He walked straight out of the office and into the CEO's office next door.
Song Qiuya sat behind her desk, absorbed in her documents. Her impeccably tailored business suit perfectly accentuated her cool, capable air.
At the sound of the door opening, she looked up. When she saw Chen Lin, delight instantly rippled through her cool, almond-shaped eyes.
She hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly. It seemed these medicinal ingredients really mattered to him.
Song Qiuya wasted no time. She rose and took four exquisite boxes made of expensive huanghuali wood from the cabinet behind her, setting them before Chen Lin one by one.
"The four things you wanted are all here."
Pointing at the four boxes, she explained, "The century-old polygonum multiflorum, century-old Solomon's seal, and century-old reishi are rare, but you can still buy them on the market if you're willing to pay enough. The hardest one to obtain was this century-old wild ginseng."
She opened the longest wooden box, and an intensely rich medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.
Chen Lin looked over.
A perfectly formed ginseng root lay quietly on the red satin lining inside the box.
Its main root was thick, its crown densely knotted, and its shape resembled a human figure, with four distinct limbs and fine, resilient rootlets, like a sleeping immortal sage.
