Chapter 2591: Kang Shaojie Wins
At the beginning, many people thought it was an unfair game, and were suspicious that Kang Yuannan might want to steal the Kang family’s business. Now after hearing Kang Shaojie’s explanation, they were sure of it and turned to give Kang Yuannan an accusatory look.
“What do you mean? Are you implying that I want to steal the power? Although you have the most shares in the Kang family’s business, I only have slightly fewer shares than you. The Kang family’s business matters to me as well. Is it wrong that I care about its future? Don’t make it seem as if I’m scheming against the Kang family’s business. I won’t take the blame,” said Kang Yuannan angrily. He wouldn’t bother to hide his ambition in front of Kang Shaojie, but he must be careful in public.
“I didn’t say that. Uncle, please don’t think too much,” said Kang Shaojie. Even though he implied that, he wouldn’t admit it. “Alright, we haven’t finished yet. Let’s continue to cut the raw jade materials.”
While they were arguing, Kang Yuannan’s raw jade materials were all cut open, and it was discovered that his last one was a normal stone. Because Kang Shaojie cut out another piece of jade, the game was finally over.
The result couldn’t be clearer, so Kang Yuannan felt that Kang Shaojie was making fun of him.
He didn’t think too much about that. It was Kang Shaojie who implied that he was trying to steal the Kang family’s business.
Anyway, Kang Yuannan didn’t argue again, or other people would believe that he was really guilty.
Therefore, Kang Yuannan only gave Kang Shaojie a glare. It seemed as if he couldn’t wait to tear Kang Shaojie to pieces.
Although he had thought about the result and he would accept the result for the time being if he lost, it was hard for him to face the failure right now.
“Shaojie, you’re really lucky today. I heard one of your friends has also chosen six raw jade materials in your store the day before yesterday, and there were four pieces of jade among them. After watching the game, I bet the friend is you, right?” At this moment, Mr. Chen said seriously and joked about it. However, he believed that the person who cut out the four pieces of jade from six raw jade materials had to be Kang Shaojie.
Some people didn’t realize that, but they soon understood what Mr. Chen was talking about.
In that case, Kang Shaojie was much better at stone-gambling than they thought.
Kang Shaojie was a little panicked, because it was actually Gu Ning’s effort, but he couldn’t show it on his face at this moment.
“Are you the one who cut out the four pieces of jade from six raw jade materials that day?” asked Kang Yuannan.
If it was really Kang Shaojie, Kang Shaojie had to be very skilled at hiding himself! Kang Yuannan always believed that Kang Shaojie was no match for him. However, it turned out that Kang Shaojie could cut out so many pieces of high quality jade.
No wonder Kang Shaojie disagreed to having a helper at the very beginning, and gave in when Kang Yuannan said that neither of them could have a helper. Kang Shaojie could cut out jade by himself!
Kang Yuannan had that idea, because he was blaming Kang Shaojie. Though that was unreasonable since Kang Shaojie did nothing wrong! He was completely innocent.
“I didn’t cut out the jade that day. And my friend helped me with my choices today,” said Kang Shaojie. He couldn’t directly tell them that it was another person who chose the raw jade materials today, but he had to make it clear to feel better.
Hearing that, the crowd believed that his friend must have taught him some knowledge about stone-gambling, not that they picked the raw jade materials for him.
Everyone watched Kang Shaojie pick the raw jade materials, no one touched him and he didn’t have any abnormal behavior. Therefore, even though he said that he learned some skills from his friend, people only believed that he was being modest. He still needed to rely on himself to make the choices.
Kang Yaunnan focused on Kang Shaojie’s face, trying to see whether he was lying. However, when Kang Shaojie gave that explanation, he seemed very honest. Kang Yuannan couldn’t tell whether he was lying.
Either way, Kang Yuannan still refused to believe it. He was convinced that Kang Shaojie didn’t cheat today, but he didn’t believe the so-called friend wasn’t him.
Nevertheless, it was meaningless. It wouldn’t do him any good even if he conducted an investigation about it.
It was not only Kang Yuannan, some onlookers also didn’t believe it.
After Kang Shaojie’s jade was cut out, he had to cut his last raw jade material.
Although the result was already out and it didn’t matter whether there was more jade in his last raw jade material, it was necessary to finish the game.
After the very first cut, jade showed again, amazing the crowd.
After the second cut, it showed that it was jade of good quality.
All in all, Kang Shaojie cut out four pieces of jade from five raw jade materials. That had never happened before! Therefore, everyone began to admire Kang Shaojie, but only Kang Shaojie knew how panicked he was right now.
“Fine!” Kang Yuannan was furious. He couldn’t stay there any longer, so he snorted and walked away.
Those directors who supported Kang Yuannan were ready to leave with him. Because the result was already out, there was no need for them to stay here any longer. After all, they couldn’t deny the result.
Two directors hesitated to stay or leave.
In fact, the directors who supported Kang Yuannan were very satisfied with his performance, but they wouldn’t give up and turn to side with Kang Shaojie right away.
The other two directors, however, had the thought of changing sides. Anyway, they were forced to side with Kang Yuannan through coercion and bribery before the game.
Anyway, they couldn’t do that right now, because Kang Shaojie might not need them. What was worse, Kang Shaojie might harbor grudges against them since they supported Kang Yuannan against him. Therefore, they decided to have a private talk with Kang Shaojie afterwards to see his attitude.
When Kang Yuannan was walking out, Kang Shaojie immediately shouted, “Wait a moment, Uncle Yuannan!”
There were many people watching them, so Kang Yuannan couldn’t embarrass Kang Shaojie. He stopped and replied in a displeased tone. “What?”
“Since I won, the bet was that you and the other directors should admit that I’m the new chairman of the Kang family’s business, right?” asked Kang Shaojie.
Chapter 2592: Completely Different
Hearing that question, Kang Yuannan felt humiliated, because Kang Shaojie didn’t trust him. Although he indeed had the intention of denying the result, he still felt embarrassed that Kang Shaojie spoke about that in public.
“Of course.” No matter how reluctant Kang Yuannan was, he had to admit it right now, or it might cause himself trouble.
However, he wouldn’t accept the failure.
“Great, we’ll have a meeting at 10 am tomorrow. I hope you all will be present,” said Kang Shaojie, putting pressure on them. He had to be strong enough to stop them from bullying him!
Kang Shaojie wasn’t weak, so Kang Yuannan and the other shareholders understood that he wasn’t easy to bully. However, Kang Yuannan still didn’t think he was important enough.
“We will,” said Kang Yuannan. Other shareholders immediately chimed in. It was a public place, so they had to appear respectful.
“Chairman Tang, is there anything else we need to know? If not, I think we need to leave first,” said Kang Yuannan on purpose.

“Nothing else,” said Kang Shaojie, then he watched them leave.
Kang Shaojie won, so his supporters were extremely happy. It was hard for them not to show their excitement.
It was just the beginning after he won and his future would only be harder, because all of them knew that Kang Yuannan wouldn’t stop making things difficult for him.
Gu Ning understood that just winning the game today couldn’t completely solve the problem for Kang Shaojie. She had to help him solve the underlying problem as well.
She had to first help Kang Yuanbo recover, so that he could continue to manage the company till Kang Shaojie had the ability to be in charge of it. They couldn’t give Kang Yuannan another chance to steal the business.
Gu Ning decided to help Kang Yuanbo recover, but not for free.
After Kang Yuannan left, Mr. Chen and Mr. Meng also walked away. The crowd dispersed too.
Without delay, Kang Shaojie ran to the backyard to call Gu Ning.
Once her phone rang, Gu Ning picked it up.
“Hi, Miss Gu, where are you now?” asked Kang Shaojie.
“I’m right here,” said Gu Ning.
“What?” Hearing that, Kang Shaojie was startled. He guessed that Gu Ning might be present, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to take a photo of the pile of raw jade materials, but he didn’t see her. “Why can’t I see you?” he asked.
“I put on make-up and look different now, so you failed to recognize me,” said Gu Ning.
Upon hearing that, Kang Shaojie figured out why Gu Ning changed her appearance.
Why didn’t he think of that before? When Gu Ning had the competition with him the day before yesterday and cut out two pieces of jade from five raw jade materials, she should have been targeted.
Although it wasn’t the most surprising result, it was still quite rare.
If it only happened once, it might just be luck, but Gu Ning had also cut out three pieces of jade from five raw jade materials in City Teng last time. And that was only what he knew about. There should be more he didn’t know about her. After all, Gu Ning started up her business by stone-gambling.
Kang Shaojie didn’t collect much information about Gu Ning, because he didn’t know many of her achievements.
“Miss Gu, since you’re here, I bet you haven’t eaten yet, right? I can leave now. Why don’t we go have a meal together?” said Kang Shaojie. Gu Ning had done him a big favor, and he didn’t think what he had done for her was enough to return her kindness. However, he didn’t know how to do that, so he could only buy her a meal to show his gratitude.
“Great, there are three of us now. Two girls and a man. We are all in black suits,” said Gu Ning.
Two girls and a man in black suits? Hearing that, Kang Shaojie immediately remembered them. He just saw them, but didn’t recognize Gu Ning.
Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue looked completely different after disguising themselves.
“Great, see you then,” said Kang Shaojie. He hung up and walked out of the backyard.
Back in the hall, he glanced around and saw Gu Ning at once. The next moment, he walked towards her.
Even though he walked closer, Kang Shaojie still thought that this girl before him was different from Gu Ning. After observing the girl for a while longer, he slightly believed that she was Gu Ning.
Actually, he was unfamiliar with Gu Ning. If they were more familiar, it would be much easier for him to recognize her.
“Miss Gu, you look completely different now. I just saw you, but I didn’t recognize you. If you didn’t tell me, I would hardly notice you!” Kang Shaojie joked. At the same time, he was amazed by the effect of make-up.
“That’s exactly what I want. If you could easily recognize me, it would be troublesome,” said Gu Ning with a smile. Then she introduced Kang Shaojie to Leng Shaoting. “Oh, this is my fiancé. His surname is Leng.”
Kang Shaojie greeted Leng Shaoting right away. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Leng.”
He was stunned by the outstanding appearance of Gu Ning’s fiancé. Her fiancé had to be born in a powerful family given his natural air of nobility.
“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Kang.” Leng Shaoting replied.
Although Leng Shaoting looked cold, Mr. Kang didn’t think he was disdainful because he could see that Leng Shaoting was used to keeping his distance from other people.
After that, they walked out, leaving the jade to the manager of the store.
The manager was Kang Yuanbo’s henchman, so he was trustworthy.
Shortly after they left the store, Gu Ning felt that someone was following them. To be specific, she felt that Kang Shaojie was the target.
It was true that the person came to follow Kang Shaojie. And the person was sent by Kang Yuannan.
Gu Ning didn’t bother to tell Kang Shaojie yet. It wasn’t a big deal that the person followed them. Anyway, he couldn’t hear them.
It was nearly 2 pm, so they didn’t walk far, instead they went to a restaurant out of the raw jade material market.
It was the best restaurant nearby, and they ordered a private room.
The person followed them to the restaurant. After they walked into the private room, he couldn’t see or hear them, so he went back to the hall downstairs.
If he wandered outside their private room, he would get in trouble if he was exposed.
He decided to continue to follow them after they left.
Chapter 2593: Solve the Underlying Problem
In the private room, they finished giving their order. After the waiter left, Kang Shaojie thanked Gu Ning. “Miss Gu, thank you so much for your help today! If it hadn’t been for you, it would have been impossible for me to win. If I lost, it would be serious trouble.”
“No need to thank me, Mr. Kang. It was a deal. I’m not just helping you,” said Gu Ning. Although it was a small favor that Kang Shaojie did for her by helping her deal with the Bureau of Land and Resources, it was Gu Ning’s idea, so she thought it was fair.
“Miss Gu, I’ll never forget what you’ve done for me. Whatever you need in the future, feel free to let me know,” said Kang Shaojie. After that, he stopped thanking her, otherwise it would be uncomfortable.
“Sure.” Gu Ning didn’t bother to talk about it further. She was going to start a business in City Rui after all, so she would need the Kang family one day. However, at the moment the Kang family was in a dangerous situation. “Um, although you won today, I don’t think your uncle will give up. You must be careful.”
Hearing that, Kang Shaojie was a little embarrassed.
It was true that Kang Yuannan wouldn’t stop making things difficult for him even though he won today. Even after he became the new chairman, his uncle would continue to cause him trouble.
“So I think the best solution is to solve the underlying problem,” said Gu Ning.
Please reading on NewN0vel 0rg)
“Solve the underlying problem? How?” asked Kang Shaojie. He didn’t fully understand Gu Ning’s meaning.
“They don’t listen to you, but they’ll obey your father, so I think you should bring your father back to the company,” said Gu Ning.
Kang Shaojie frowned. “My father is in a bad condition now. He can barely take care of himself, let alone work.”
If his father weren’t seriously sick, Kang Yuannan wouldn’t have dared to steal his seat.
“Would you please tell me what your father’s illness is?” asked Gu Ning. No matter what the illness was, she could treat it, but she still needed to ask about it first.
Speaking of Kang Yuanbo’s illness, Kang Shaojie gave a heavy sign and looked upset at once. “My father is suffering from coronary heart disease, which is quite serious. Although he’s been receiving treatment, he isn’t getting better, that’s why my second uncle wants to steal power.”
“Would you believe me if I tell you I can heal him?” said Gu Ning seriously.
“What?” Hearing that, Kang Shaojie was shocked. He could barely believe it.
Gu Ning could heal his father? Really?
It was not Kang Shaojie’s fault that he didn’t believe it. After all, the disease couldn’t really be cured and his father didn’t get better even after being treated for so long. That’s why he had lost hope.
Gu Ning didn’t rush to explain it and waited for Kang Shaojie’s reply.
“Miss Gu, do you mean that you can heal my father? Really?” asked Kang Shaojie. He was full of excitement and anticipation, so his voice trembled a little.
“Yeah, why would I lie to you?” said Gu Ning.
“Well, if it’s possible, please treat my father. No matter how much it costs, I can pay you…” Kang Shaojie couldn’t believe it, but he thought that his family could only give it a try.
“My medicine is indeed a little expensive, but you can totally afford it. It’s far less than a hundred million yuan, but I’ll still ask you for the medical fee,” said Gu Ning. Then she took out a porcelain bottle with three power crystals inside. “There are three pills. Each costs a million yuan. Take a pill every three days. After taking all three pills, your father should be mostly recovered. With careful care for a few days, I think he will be much better. I can’t promise that he’ll make a full recovery, but I’m sure he won’t be as sick again. He will be able to live a normal life in the future.”
Hearing Gu Ning’s words, Kang Shaojie was stunned.
He wasn’t amazed by the price of the pill, he was just shocked by its effect. It was unbelievable that the pill could heal his father’s coronary heart disease!
No matter what, he still wanted to give it a try. Even if it was useless, he believed that Gu Ning wouldn’t harm his father.
“Miss Gu, to be honest. It’s very unbelievable for me. I can’t accept or believe it yet, but I want to give it a try,” said Kang Shaojie. He didn’t hide his worries.
“I know it’s too amazing, making it hard to believe, but if you have courage, you can try it right now. However, you will also need to pay for an extra pill,” said Gu Ning.
“Try it now? How? I’m not sick,” said Kang Shaojie.
“Are there any scars on your body?” asked Gu Ning.
“I do have a scar. I went to a raw jade material mountain a few years ago, and I fell down it in an accident. There was a long cut on my shoulder. Now it’s an obvious scar,” said Kang Shaojie.
“You can directly take this pill or apply it to your scar. It’s very effective in both ways,” said Gu Ning. Then she took out another porcelain bottle. There was only one power crystal in it. “There is a pill inside. Add some water and you can apply it to your scar. If you’re willing to give it a try, you can try it now.”
“No problem, I’ll try it now.” Kang Shaojie didn’t hesitate to have a try. If he directly gave the medicine to his father, he might be worried, but he wouldn’t hesitate to personally try it now.
When Kang Shaojie agreed, Gu Ning poured some water into the bottle before handing it to him. “Try it. Apply the medicine to your scar.”
“Thanks,” said Kang Shaojie and took the bottle Gu Ning handed to him. Then he walked to the washroom.
Although the scar was only on his shoulder, Kang Shaojie still avoided them. It showed his respect for them.
In the washroom, Kang Shaojie took off his coat and pulled off the clothing on his right shoulder. There was a finger long, wide scar, which he immediately applied some medicine liquid to.
Once the medicine touched his skin, he felt a sudden coldness which went straight into his body.
Kang Shaojie didn’t pay much attention to it. He thought that it wouldn’t come into effect so quickly, so he walked out right after he finished.
Afterwards, the dishes were placed on the table and they began to enjoy the meal.
While they were having a meal, Mr. Meng and Mr. Chen went back to their own homes and spoke to their fathers about what happened today.
Chapter 2594: It's Unbelievably Effective!
Normally, kids inherited character from their parents. Although not every child would be as good as their parents, the members of the Meng family had a good reputation.
Just like the Tang family, the members of the Tang family were kind and easy-going.
They could be very nice, but they could also be aggressive when necessary.
The Meng family were surprised by the news that Kang Shaojie cut out four pieces of jade from only five raw jade materials, but they didn’t think too much about that.
They wouldn’t get jealous just because Kang Shaojie was better than them. They had their own ambition, but they wouldn’t compete unfairly. They would rely on themselves to fight for a bright future.
The Chen family, on the other hand, had a bad reputation.
After Master Chen learned that Kang Shaojie cut out four pieces of jade from only five raw jade materials, he was surprised, jealous, and even angry, as if it was Kang Shaojie’s fault.
Please reading on NewN0vel 0rg)
“I didn’t expect him to be so good. He easily cut out four pieces of jade from just five raw jade materials. I’m afraid the so-called friend who cut out four pieces of jade from six raw jade materials at his store the other day is him!” That was the first idea that appeared in Master Chen’s mind.
“I asked him about it, but he didn’t admit it.” Replied Master Chen’s eldest son.
“He obviously wouldn’t admit it. If he did, it would mean that he lied to everyone,” said Master Chen. Anyway, it was just their guess. They would never know the truth.
…
After having the meal, Gu Ning told Kang Shaojie to check his scar to see whether there was any change.
Although Kang Shaojie didn’t think it would be that effective, he listened to Gu Ning and went to the washroom to check on his scar.
However, after a glance, he was amazed, because the scar had obviously faded.
Only slightly more than half an hour had passed! This medicine was unbelievably effective!
“Miss Gu, it’s unbelievable! Only half an hour has passed, but the scar has obviously faded!” said Kang Shaojie in surprise.
At this moment, Kang Shaojie was more convinced about the effect of this medicine. Even though he still had some worries, he wouldn’t hesitate to accept Gu Ning’s advice. Now he only needed to persuade his father to take this medicine.
“Continue to apply the medicine to your scar once a day till it’s finished. How fast you can recover depends on the severity of the scar. If it’s not serious, it should be gone in a few days. If it’s serious, there might be a faint scar left, but no one will be able to see it unless they pay special attention to it,” said Gu Ning.
“Miss Gu, is this medicine on the market yet?” asked Kang Shaojie. Given its unbelievable effect, it would cause a sensation around the country as soon as it was for sale.
“Not yet,” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, Kang Shaojie felt it was a shame. “It has an unbelievable effect. If it’s put up for sale, you can undoubtedly make a fortune!”
“I know, but precisely because of that, I can’t put it up for sale and let more people know about it. Once it’s for sale, there might be too many people who want to own it. I might be targeted. I can make a lot of money, but I don’t think money is that important now,” said Gu Ning.
Kang Shaojie didn’t realize that until now. He just thought about making money earlier, and completely ignored the threats.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault that I didn’t think about it carefully. I just thought about how much money this medicine can bring to you. I didn’t think of the harm it might cause,” said Kang Shaojie with slight embarrassment.
“It’s fine. When you have enough experience in business, you’ll think of the harm and good together,” said Gu Ning to comfort him.
Hearing that, Kang Shaojie felt embarrassed again. He was almost thirty-five years old, but he somehow lacked experience compared to a 19-year-old girl.
It was his issue, but it sounded a little strange when a 19-year-old girl said that to him.
Anyway, he wasn’t annoyed at Gu Ning because of that.
“This medicine has great effects, and can cure nearly all kinds of diseases. So it’s very expensive. I need a hundred million yuan for each pill. Only rich people can afford it. And the amount of the medicine is limited. I might not have enough to satisfy everyone’s needs. Therefore, even if there was no harm, I still can’t sell a lot of it. I’ll just help people I’m willing to help and trust. I don’t want too many people to know about the existence of this medicine,” said Gu Ning.
Kang Shaojie felt touched. He knew that he didn’t deserve Gu Ning’s trust, because they had only met each other several days ago. In other words, he believed that Gu Ning just wanted to help him.
“Miss Gu, thank you so much!” Kang Shaojie thanked her again. Although it cost a lot of money, he couldn’t get it if Gu Ning was unwilling to sell it to him.
Gu Ning smiled and said nothing.
“Oh, medicines produced by my pharmaceutical company also contain this ingredient. They’re also very effective for minor illnesses, like colds. Normally, people need to take medicines for a few days to get better, but with the medicine produced by my company, you can make a full recovery the next day,” said Gu Ning.
“Really? Miss Gu, you also have a pharmaceutical company? What’s its name?” Kang Shaojie asked at once. Although he was surprised that Gu Ning owned a pharmaceutical company too, he didn’t think it was strange since she had such unbelievably effective medicine.
“Colaine. It doesn’t have a direct-sale store in City Rui yet, but I think Colaine medicines are in other pharmacies,” said Gu Ning. Although she didn’t join the expansion, she read reports about it, so she knew it.
“Colaine?” Kang Shaojie was astonished, because he had heard about Colaine before. “I know about it. There isn’t a direct-sale store for Colaine in City Rui yet, but Colaine is on the shelves of all the other major pharmacies. I’ve never used Colaine before, but many people in my circle have. It has a great reputation. I didn’t know it was owned by you! Miss Gu, you’re really impressive.”
While Gu Ning was talking with Kang Shaojie, Leng Shaoting and Baili Zongxue quietly sat there and watched them. They couldn’t and wouldn’t interrupt their conversation. After all, they were talking about business, not just chatting casually.
“Oh, I’ve already chosen a mountain. We can finish the formalities right away,” said Gu Ning.
“What? You’re so fast!” Kang Shaojie was shocked.
How could it be so quick?
Chapter 2595: Is Gu Ning Trustworthy?
“Yeah, I relied on my senses to make the choice. Anyway, we can’t dig a hole and check the inside beforehand, right?” said Gu Ning.
“I know, but you’re too fast. I don’t think you are taking it seriously enough. Are you sure you’re done?” Kang Shaojie asked with doubts. He hoped that Gu Ning could be more serious, because a single mountain cost dozens of millions of yuan!
“I’m sure,” said Gu Ning with certainty.
“Great, if so, let’s go right now.” Since Gu Ning was sure of it, there was nothing else he could say. Although he couldn’t accept it, it was Gu Ning’s business. He couldn’t interfere. What if there were really raw jade materials in the mountain?
Afterwards, they left the restaurant and went to the parking lot, then drove to the Bureau of Land and Resources.
When Gu Ning and the others left, the person who followed them was still there. So when they left in a car, he drove after them.
Gu Ning felt that it was better to remind Kang Shaojie about it, but Kang Shojie drove his own car while Gu Ning and the others sat in the car they rented from the hotel. As a result, she could only talk to Kang Shaojie about it after they arrived.
Please reading on NewN0vel 0rg)
Once they reached the Bureau of Land and Resources and got out of their cars, Gu Ning said to Kang Shaojie, “Mr. Kang, I’m afraid you must be careful these days, because someone’s been following you the entire time.”
Hearing that, Kang Shaojie was scared. Someone was following him?
The next moment, he calmed down and guessed that the person who followed him must have something to do with Kang Yuannan.
After all, Kang Yuannan lost and felt uncomfortable. It was understandable that he was suspicious of Kang Shaojie, so he sent a man to follow Kang Shaojie.
“I will. Thank you so much, Miss Gu.” Kang Shaojie thanked Gu Ning at once. He felt even more grateful to her, because Gu Ning had helped him a lot!
He was very lucky to have met Gu Ning.
After that, they went to the Bureau of Land and Resources and met the deputy director.
The deputy director was also very surprised that Gu Ning had already chosen a mountain. He also felt she didn’t take it seriously enough. However, since Gu Ning wanted to buy that mountain, he wouldn’t stop her.
What if there were raw jade materials inside? He would ruin her business if he stopped her from buying it. Therefore, the deputy director immediately helped Gu Ning complete the formalities.
With the help of the deputy director, within an hour, Gu Ning finished all the formalities and the mountain she chose belonged to her.
However, the mountain was far from the main road, so they needed to build a road before they started digging out the raw jade materials.
Nevertheless, Gu Ning didn’t need to deal with that by herself, because Zheng Peng would handle it.
After leaving the Bureau of Land and Resources, Kang Shaojie said good-bye to Gu Ning and the others. He couldn’t wait to let his father take the medicine.
Gu Ning called Zheng Peng right away and told him that she was in City Rui. If he had time, he should come here as soon as possible.
Zheng Peng was busy with something right now, but it wasn’t important compared to what Gu Ning wanted him to do, so he brought his people over without delay.
The distance between City Teng and City Rui was about two hundred kilometers, so it took a bit more than two hours to arrive, which wasn’t too long.
Zheng Peng wasn’t sure whether there were raw jade materials in the mountain Gu Ning just acquired, but he had great hopes, because it was Gu Ning’s choice.
All in all, he trusted Gu Ning.
…
Kang Shaojie shared the good news with his father after he defeated Kang Yuannan, so his family was aware of the result of their competition.
Although it was just the beginning of their game, at least he won in the first step, so his family felt happy for him.
Madam Kang and Kang Shaojie’s wife didn’t know that he had Gu Ning’s help, so they asked him for details once he got home.
However, Kang Shaojie didn’t have time to tell them the whole story, because he wanted to see his father first.
As soon as Kang Shaojie saw his father, he said, “Dad, I got a special medicine from Gu Ning. She said it can cure nearly all kinds of diseases, including your illness. Even though you can’t necessarily make a full recovery, you can get much better. You’ll be able to live a normal life! I was surprised when she told me that, and couldn’t believe it. So I tried it and it’s indeed effective.”
As he said that, he showed the scar on his shoulder. “See? I just applied some of the medicine to this scar. After two hours, it has faded a lot. It’s enough to prove the unbelievable effect of this medicine. However, I still have some doubts, so I wanted to ask you whether you’re willing to have a try?”
“What? There is such an unbelievable medicine?” Master Kang was amazed and couldn’t believe it either. However, the scar on his son’s shoulder had indeed faded a lot, which was enough to prove the effect of this medicine.
What medicine could cure nearly all kinds of diseases? He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t doubtful, but he still wanted to give it a try, because he was reluctant to lay sick in bed all day long. If he tried it, perhaps he could get better.
“Is the girl called Gu Ning trustworthy?” asked Master Kang. He had never met Gu Ning before, so he didn’t know what kind of person she was.
“Well, we can’t fully trust her, because I’ve just met her, but she helped me defeat Uncle Yuannan. And among the four raw jade materials containing jade, three were chosen by her. She isn’t only the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry, she is also the owner of Colaine. Colaine is so famous that everyone has heard of it. The medicines produced by Colaine have great effects, so I think father, you can give it a try since I also tried it,” said Kang Shaojie.
“She’s also the owner of Colaine?” Master Kang was shocked. Colaine was famous for its effective medicines, and he had heard of it too.
“Are you sure?” asked Master Kang again.
“She told me that,” said Kang Shaojie. At the beginning, he believed it, but now he doubted it after his father asked him that question.
“Check it out on the Internet,” said Master Kang. He wanted to make sure of Gu Ning’s identity so that he could be more relieved.
If Gu Ning was really the owner of Colaine, her words would be convincing. Even if this medicine couldn’t cure his illness, it wouldn’t be harmful.
