Chu Zuo pinched the root and, boy oh boy, was it strong or was it strong? His fingers had turned pink from pressing down on it hard.

Even though he was prepared for it, Chu Zuo was still shocked when he saw the wild ginseng, let alone Jia Hongyuan. Jia Hongyuan was so dazzled that he couldn't even look away from it. He mumbled, "Judging from its look, this has to be at least 200+ years old."

The Jia family had a precious 200-year-old wild ginseng at home and it was carefully cherished. Nevertheless, when compared to this one, their differences were striking. He even felt that Fang JunRong's one had mystical properties to it. He was a flexible person. He looked at Fang JunRong fervently and said, "Is this for sale? How does 15 million yuan sound?"

A treasure like this should, naturally, become part of his family's collection!

Fang JunRong was taken aback a little but, before she could even recollect herself, President Chu shook his head. "I'll pay 18 million yuan for it."

"How about 20 million yuan?" Jia Hongyuan continued to raise the price.

The corners of Fang JunRong's lips twitched and she didn't know what to make of it. "Sure. I'll sell it to you then."

She hadn't expected that she would make 20 million yuan from her trip today.

Jia Hongyuan let out a sigh of relief and cast a complacent look over at Chu Zuo, obviously happy that he was able to snatch it under his nose. As such, he was no longer disgruntled when he looked over at Fang JunRong. He now felt that this woman was much more pleasing to look at than Chu Zuo. He said in a friendly manner. "Just let me know if you need any help today. I am a generation above you. You can refer to me as Uncle Jia."

"I just might have favors to ask in the future." Fang JunRong, too, took the olive branch that he sent her way. There were, after all, no permanent enemy in business.

Jia Hongyuan went over to the other room to give him family a call and had them had the money ready. A wild ginseng like that was too rare. He would hate to miss out on the opportunity.

Fang JunRong was just about to tell Chu Zuo that she had more wild ginseng that she could sell to him when he said to her, "You should thank me. You were able to make 5 million yuan more because I raised the price for you."

Fang JunRong couldn't help but smiled. As it turned out, President Chu had no intention of purchasing the ginseng from the get-go.

"Lao Jia might be a little bit on the power-hungry side, and sometimes had a sharp tongue, but he knows what he is doing and never goes back on his words. You would not need to worry about him being an obstacle for you in the future with the favor you've given him today."

Fang JunRong felt a warm current through her heart. "Thank you, Uncle Chu."

Chu Zuo was looking at her in a much more tender way now. "We should be the ones thank you. After all, we don't have the daring and resolution to just give away such precious herbal formulas." The White Jade Cream and Detoxification Pills had benefited countless individuals. Chu Zuo was very willing to reach out an olive branch to Fang JunRong just for that alone.

A saying occurred to Fang JunRong. Those who were on the right path would receive more help than those who were not. That described her current state quite well.

Jia Hongyuan was quite happy after he had made the call. He looked friendly even when around Chu Zuo, his all-time rival. All of a sudden, these two archenemies were unusually harmonious around each other today for a change. When the three of them appeared in front of the others, many were stunned. Then they looked at Fang JunRong, who seemed to fit in very well among them. They couldn't help but put her up on an even higher pedestal.
