Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 642 Expanding the Storefront
"You mentioned before that you had a surprise for me. I never expected that this surprise would be prepared by you."

"Yes, you didn't believe me back then. Actually, it was just a coincidence. When I went there before, I found out that he was actually the president, so I asked him for a favor."

After a while, Qin Tongtong broke free from Wang Yang's embrace. Only then did she realize that her actions just now were inappropriate.

After so many years of divorce, there had been almost no intimate moments between them, yet this time she had taken the initiative to throw herself into Wang Yang's arms.

Before she could fully break free, Wang Yang grabbed her and held her tightly in his arms.

"If you have any questions, just ask, and I will explain everything to you."

"You only treated him once, why would he agree to cooperate with our company? Is there some other relationship between you two?"

Once a woman's jealousy and possessiveness are aroused, they are like a flood that has burst its banks, and cannot be stopped.

"No, he had a rather rare and difficult-to-treat illness, which I just happened to cure. Moreover, he only agreed to give your company a chance to cooperate, not that he would definitely cooperate with your company."

Qin Tongtong nodded gently in his arms. No wonder, last time their general manager only said that they should submit a new set of materials and that they would need to review them again.

"However, Manager Zhao has already called me and said that this project is most likely to be our company's. Their boss reviewed the documents and felt there were no major problems. Once the procedures are completed, it will be basically confirmed."

Wang Yang affectionately stroked Qin Tongtong's hair.

"Yes, you see, I only helped you get an opportunity; everything else was done by you. So, the person you should thank the most is yourself."

"Then why would they take you shopping?"

Seeing Qin Tongtong's determined look, Wang Yang sighed helplessly.

"It's obvious they were being grateful. They had previously offered to open a shop with me, but I declined. They couldn't find any other way to express their thanks, so they offered to treat me to a meal."

Qin Tongtong looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Then why don't you agree? If you do business with them, things will definitely develop better than they are now."

Qin Tongtong always thought that Wang Yang's previous shop was purely for making money.

"I don't want to get too involved with those rich people or have too many conflicts of interest with them, as that's not a good thing."

Qin Tongtong looked at Wang Yang with a surprised expression; she really hadn't expected him to say such a thing.

"Actually, this is what I was thinking when I told you not to go and rescue Master Ye. Getting too involved with those rich people's interests is ultimately not good for us."

Wang Yang nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, I think the same way as you, so I’ve been trying to avoid it. But I’m a doctor, and I can’t refuse to treat patients just because they have money. That doesn’t make sense.”

Hearing Wang Yang say that, Qin Tongtong chuckled softly. She knew that Wang Yang had always been kind-hearted.

Only now did she realize that Wang Yang's medical skills were so superb; before, she thought that his clinic was just a small-scale operation.

“I understand that you may feel very uncomfortable at times, but don’t worry, I will support you and stand by your side no matter what.”

Although the two are no longer in a real marital relationship, they still have a certain affection for each other after so many years.

"Alright, now you shouldn't be jealous anymore, right? I've explained everything clearly. But in the future, you'll probably still have to deal with them quite a bit."

As soon as Wang Yang said that, Qin Tongtong's face turned even redder.

"Who's jealous? I was just asking casually. After all, if you cheat on me, I'll be the one who loses face!"

“How could I possibly cheat? My life is very simple, just going between two points every day, either at the store or at home.”

Today was truly an accident; he was forced to do those things by them. At this moment, Wang Yang was still conflicted about whether or not to tell Qin Tongtong about running into his mother at the store today.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately decided to keep it a secret, since he didn't know whether his mother really had a lot of money hidden away.

"You seem to have something to say. If you do, just say it!"

After all, they've lived together for so many years, they can tell what the other is thinking at a glance.

"No, I wanted to discuss something with you. I'm planning to expand my clinic a bit. Now that we've built up a reputation, we expect to have more and more patients in the future."

"That's great, of course, but do you have enough money? If not, I have..."

Wang Yang immediately interrupted Qin Tongtong.

"I'm discussing this with you because I've made thorough preparations and have the money ready. You don't need to worry; you can keep the money for yourself."

Qin Tongtong smiled at him and said, "What do you mean? We're family. If there are risks, we should share them together."

“Precisely because we’re family, if the store doesn’t perform as expected, at least you still have savings. If you take out your money too, what will happen if there are losses later?”

Qin Tongtong thought about it and realized that what Wang Yang said made sense, so she nodded.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. So what are your plans next?"

“I have a vacant shop next to mine. I can just rent it and knock down the wall between the two shops. It’s actually quite simple.”

Qin Tongtong frowned slightly. Wang Yang was currently only seeing wealthy patients, and she worried that he might encounter even more outstanding people in the future.

Will he eventually discover that he's actually quite ordinary?

She looked up at Wang Yang again, but deep down she felt that Wang Yang was not that kind of person at all; he was a very kind and innocent person.

Just like how, even though his family was so poor, he was able to devote himself to studying medicine and has now developed such excellent skills.

The next day, when Wang Yang arrived at the shop, he discovered that a very rare herb was gone.

He always personally collected this herb, since the shop was short-staffed and the herb grew in a relatively remote place.

There was a small clinic there that specialized in selling some hard-to-find herbs; the quantity was limited, but the prices were high.

After explaining things to the shop assistant, Wang Yang drove off alone.

"Uncle Li!"

The man looked up and saw it was Wang Yang, and immediately greeted him warmly.

"It's Wang Yang. Why did you arrive so quickly this time?"

"Business is pretty good at the store. The medicine is going through quickly. Are we running out of stock?"

Previously, Wang Yang would come once a month, and sometimes there would be no stock available. Now he comes once every two weeks.

"You're lucky, we happen to have some stock, and quite a lot of it, it's freshly harvested."

"That's good. I was worried I'd made a wasted trip!" Although sometimes there might be no stock, Uncle Li wouldn't let Wang Yang make a wasted trip. He would always give him some other herbs, which were all very precious varieties.

How's business at your shop lately?

"Business at the shop is alright, but I've been taking on a few patients on the side."

Uncle Li looked at Wang Yang with a smile, knowing in his heart that Wang Yang was not just someone who ran a small clinic; he had real skills and expertise.

"These herbs today are more than you bought in total last time. How about this, I'll divide them into two portions, and you only need to take half."

"No need, I'm taking all of these with me."

Wang Yang thought about it for a moment. He would probably be very busy recently, as he had to treat several patients and wouldn't have much time to drive back again.

Moreover, now that he has some spare money, buying these herbs is no problem for him.

"Okay then, you're being so generous now!"

When Wang Yang came to buy these herbs before, he took them little by little. It wasn't that he wanted to make more trips, but mainly because he didn't have much money on him at the time.

So Uncle Li understood, and he always gave him only a little bit each time, as a way of supporting the newcomer. Unexpectedly, this newcomer really had potential and developed better and better.

"By the way, Uncle Li, I'm planning to expand my shop, and I'll probably need a lot more herbs in the future. But it's not a long-term solution for me to keep coming here to pick them up every time!"

For their traditional Chinese medicine clinic, these medicinal herbs are the most important thing. But Uncle Li's place is too far away from him.

"What you said makes sense, but I can't move this place. How about this, each time you send someone to pick up the goods, just bring a little more, would that work?"

Wang Yang thought for a moment. These medicinal herbs were extremely precious and absolutely could not get wet. He would only take a small amount each time and place it directly on his seat to protect it.

But if we use trucks to haul it away one load at a time, who knows what problems might arise.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. After all, my shop hasn't even opened yet!"

"You've got a bright future ahead of you, kid. What, are you opening another new store now?"

Seeing Wang Yang's career flourishing, Uncle Li was genuinely happy for him.

"No, actually it's about opening another store next to my current one, combining the two stores. My current store is a bit small."

"That works too, then we won't have to move. Just let me know what herbs you need, I have a full range of herbs here."

Not only is everything here complete, but it also has very rare herbs. If he hadn't stumbled upon this place by chance, he would never have known that such a "treasure trove" existed.

Most importantly, the herbs here are much cheaper than those from other sourcing channels; the only downside is that the location is too far away.

"Uncle Li, have you really not thought about promoting your place properly? Or like me, why not just rent a shop and open it in a more bustling area?"

Before Wang Yang could finish speaking, Uncle Li quickly waved his hand.

“Countless people have said this to me hundreds of times, I can recite it by heart. Don’t bother telling me what they’re saying, I really don’t want to do such a big business, I just want to stay here and take care of this place.”

Wang Yang knew that Uncle Li's house was his ancestral home, where his ancestors had lived for a long time, so he was always reluctant to leave.

He had previously said that if he left, his business might fail miserably, all because his ancestors were protecting him.

Although Wang Yang didn't really believe in these things, since Uncle Li was so insistent, he wouldn't force him.

"If you need anything in the future, just let me know. You can also think of more convenient ways. I know that when you open a new store, the demand will be even greater."

However, Uncle Li had always run a small business, so he didn't really understand what it meant to buy in bulk.

"Alright then, I'll let you know when I've thought it through. That's all for today, I'm leaving now!"

After Wang Yang packed the herbs, he drove off.

Unexpectedly, halfway through my drive, a huge truck suddenly appeared in front of me.

The truck seemed to have lost its brakes and headed straight for him. Luckily, there was a vegetable patch on his right, so he quickly swerved to the right.

After the car came to a smooth stop, he saw that more than a dozen people got out of the truck.

Wang Yang was startled, knowing that the situation was not good.

"Hey kid, aren't you coming down? Do we have to ask you to?"

The person speaking looked menacing. Wang Yang thought for a moment; he probably didn't have any valuables on him, and besides, their car was better than his, so there was no reason for them to rob him.

"What do you want to do?"

Wang Yang sat in the car and locked the doors. His hand was fumbling for his phone, but he had accidentally flung it away during the sudden stop.

"I'll count to 10. If you don't get down by then, we'll smash your car!"

Those people were impatient; they knew that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for them.

There was nothing Wang Yang could do; he was heartbroken about the car, especially since it contained such precious herbs. So he had no choice but to get out.

"You seem like a decent guy, so why did you do something so underhanded?"

Wang Yang's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Then tell me, what heinous thing have I done?"

"We can't tell you this directly; you'll have to figure it out yourself." The leader waved his hand and shouted menacingly, "Brothers, get him! Beat him until he's unconscious!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dozen people surged towards Wang Yang like a tidal wave. Left with no other option, Wang Yang had to brace himself and fight back.

Just then, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be much stronger than usual.

Without a second thought, he immediately engaged in a fierce fight with those people. He knocked one of them down and snatched a stick from his hand.

He swung his stick and swept it across, knocking the others to the ground. The leader, seeing this, was startled.

"This kid's got some skills. Wasn't he supposed to be just a doctor? How come he's so strong? Get up, all of you, keep going!"

The person directing from behind the scenes kept a close watch, ready to flee at any moment should the situation turn sour.

Holding two sticks, Wang Yang dodged and parried, managing to send more than a dozen people around him fleeing in disarray.

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

Seeing the situation was dire, the leader realized that even combined, they were no match for Wang Yang. It seemed their intelligence was flawed; this man wasn't just an ordinary doctor, but clearly a martial arts expert!
