The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 73 Chen Fangyu's third visit to Jiangda, Su Chenjin cleverly arranged a banquet for Hongmeng
The color of the sky gradually dimmed, as if it was ruthlessly swallowed by a huge devil's claws. The originally azure sky was covered by layer after layer of thick dark clouds, shrouding the entire world in depressing darkness.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the clouds, as if the gods were swinging their hammers in anger, shaking everyone's hearts and filling them with fear.

In this inky darkness, Kui Lao's figure was looming. His eyes were like icicles in the winter, cold and sharp. He stared at Gu Xinliang intently, as if he wanted to see through his skin and directly into his soul.

Every movement and every look of Mr. Kui was full of threats, making Gu Xinliang feel unprecedented pressure.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that it was almost suffocating, a figure appeared as if walking out of an ancient scroll, tall and tough, like a thousand-year-old pine tree, standing tall and unyielding.

He was none other than Yao Lao, and his appearance was like a ray of hope.

He stood there quietly, facing the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, like a wise man, calm and composed.

Yao Lao's gaze wandered between Kui Lao and Gu Xinliang. His eyes were deep and wise, able to see through all appearances and reach people's hearts.

His existence gave Gu Xinliang an invisible strength, allowing him to find support before the storm came.

As for Mr. Kui, when faced with the appearance of Mr. Yao, a hint of surprise and fear flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Kui, these two are the distinguished guests I invited personally!" Yao Lao's voice was like the collision of metal and stone, firm and sonorous, instantly breaking a hole in the solemn atmosphere.

Mr. Kui raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of imperceptible surprise in his eyes.

He did not speak immediately, but the majesty emanating from his body was like a majestic mountain, weighing heavily on Yao Lao's heart, blocking all his escape.

"Oh? Your friend?" There was a hint of gritted teeth and indifference in Mr. Kui's voice, like the cold wind blowing across the cheeks in winter, which made people shiver.

His eyes were as sharp as a sword, scanning back and forth between Su Chenjin and Professor Gu Xinliang, trying to see into their hearts and devour the fearlessness in their hearts.

Su Chenjin felt Kui Lao's scrutiny and her heart tightened, but her eyes did not flinch.

She took a deep breath, as if she had gained courage, and straightened her back, speaking in a firm and clear voice: "I am here today and I have to ask Elder Yao to personally receive me. If I have disturbed Elder Kui, please forgive me."

Professor Gu Xinliang also nodded, and his eyes revealed a hint of support for Su Chenjin.

He said gently: "Student Xiaojin is right, please don't take it as an offense, Mr. Kui."

After hearing this, Mr. Kui suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the empty Peach Blossom Valley.

However, when his eyes fell on Yao Lao, his laughter suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a deep fear.

He was well aware of Yao Lao's strength. This old friend's influence in Taohua Valley was extraordinary, so he had to deal with him with caution.

"So you are Yao Lao's friend. No wonder you were able to break my Pipa Formation." There was a subtle hint of vigilance in Kui Lao's voice.

His eyes fell on Su Chenjin again, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about a mystery that was difficult to solve.

"But why are you here in this peach forest? This place is far away from the rest area and is not a tourist attraction."

His words revealed his dissatisfaction and doubts about Su Chenjin's appearance. She was like an uninvited intruder. Kui Lao's voice was like a cold blade, instantly piercing the silence around him, making Su Chenjin feel an inexplicable pressure.

However, she calmed herself down and looked directly into Kui Lao's eyes that were as deep as the sea.

She knew that at this moment, she couldn't reveal any flaws.

So she said openly: "I didn't see anyone passing by my rest area. They just happened to pass by here."

Her voice was firm and powerful, and she was saying something that was very ordinary.

There was a fearless light in her eyes, trying to tell Kui Lao that she was not a timid person.

Kui Lao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he carefully looked at the woman in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, a hint of surprise and a hint of doubt.

He felt as if he had been seen through by the other party, and the feeling of being spied on made him feel a little uncomfortable.

His expression changed slightly, and his originally warm smile became a little stiff.

He understood that at this moment, his thoughts were revealed by the other party, which was undoubtedly a challenge and a threat.

At this moment, Yao Lao was like a bystander, observing everything calmly.

There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and everything was under his control.

He knew very well what Kui Lao's purpose was. This old friend was testing them, trying to find their weaknesses in order to gain an advantageous position.

So Yao Lao decided to take action. He stepped forward with a gentle smile on his face, but his tone was as firm as stone: "Kui Lao, we have been friends for many years, why should we hurt our relationship over such trivial matters?"

Old Kui looked at Old Yao and couldn't help but hesitate.

His lips moved slightly, as if he had something else to say, but when he met Yao Lao's determined gaze, all his words were suppressed by an invisible force.

In the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh. He knew that at this moment, Yao Lao was no longer the old friend with whom he could chat and laugh casually, but a key figure who could decide their life and death.

At the same time, Gu Xinliang's mood was completely different.

His originally tense nerves relaxed instantly when Yao Lao appeared, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He knew that with Yao Lao there, they had hope of escaping.

Yao Lao didn't say any unnecessary words, and every move he made was full of decisiveness and strength.

He simply waved his hand, signaling Su Chenjin and Gu Xinliang to follow his pace.

Behind them, Kui Lao's gaze was still deep and sharp, but Yao Lao did not look back, because he knew that at this moment they had no way to retreat and could only move forward bravely.

Deep in the Pipa Formation, the three warriors were like dancers walking on the edge of a knife. Each of their steps was light and cautious, as if they were walking on thin ice. A single mistake could lead them into an abyss from which there was no return.

This Pipa Formation is like an ancient maze, hiding countless murderous intentions. If you are not careful, you may trigger the traps.

The dim sunlight sprinkled on the Pipa formation, adding a touch of mystery and weirdness to this ancient battlefield.

The sounds of the piano are melodious and plaintive, like the whispers of ghosts from ancient times. They permeate the dim sky and earth, telling secrets that have been forgotten for thousands of years.

The sound of the piano is both gentle and moving, but also a little sad and chilling.

In this dim light, Yao Lao's figure is looming, his steps are light and erratic, and he has some mysterious connection with this ancient array.

His eyes were deep and could see through the mist of the Pipa Formation and understand the secrets within it.

Behind Yao Lao, Su Chenjin and Gu Xinliang followed closely. Their shadows swayed in the sun, looking particularly cold.

Su Chenjin's heartbeat was as rapid as a war drum, and every breath was filled with a hint of nervousness.

She clenched her fists, her eyes were firm and resolute, and she was ready to deal with any emergency.

Gu Xinliang had a solemn look on his face, his eyes moving back and forth in the Pipa Formation, trying to uncover the truth behind this mysterious array.

His brows were furrowed. The appearance of Yao Lao was definitely not accidental. There must be more complicated reasons behind all this.

Gu Xinliang took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil. Every heartbeat reminded him of the upcoming challenge.

His gaze is firm, like the Big Dipper in the night sky, illuminating the way forward.

The three of them walked through the tortuous and complicated Pipa formation for a long time. Every step was like walking on the edge of a knife, full of unknowns and dangers.

Finally, they saw the exit of the formation. It was a faint light that seemed particularly bright in the darkness.

Yao Lao stopped and looked back at the two of them. There was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, which showed his deep concern for the two people in front of him.

He waved his hand gently, and the exit in front of the three people instantly became brighter, like a door of hope opening in the darkness.

Yao Lao smiled and spoke with a hint of self-blame and apology in his voice: "What happened today was really due to Yao Lao's inadequate care, which frightened Miss Su! Fortunately, Director Gu is familiar with this place, otherwise it would really have caused a big mistake!"

Although his tone was calm, the worry and concern contained in it were self-evident.

Gu Xinliang frowned, with a bit of confusion and curiosity in his eyes: "No one was looking after this place before, who is this Mr. Kui?"

Yao Lao sighed softly and explained, "He is Zhang Lao's nephew. He is well versed in Qimen Dunjia and usually works as a handyman in the pharmaceutical market. The market is closed these few days, so he returned to Kuiyuan!"

There was a hint of regret and helplessness in his voice, trying to tell a fact that could not be changed.

Yao Lao seemed to be hesitant to speak when he got to this point. His eyes moved between Su Chenjin and Gu Xinliang, and finally fixed on Su Chenjin's face. He continued, "He didn't mean to offend Miss Su. Please forgive me, Miss Su!"

Su Chenjin nodded to show his understanding. Gu Xinliang then said, "If we hadn't arrived in time!"

There was a hint of relief and fear in his words, as if he was savoring the thrilling moment just now.

Yao Lao sighed again, his voice so thin that only he could hear it: "Let's close Kui Garden from now on!"

There was a hint of determination and helplessness in his tone, as if he was making some kind of compensation and decision for his mistake today.

His words echoed in the air like a heavy verdict, plunging the entire Pipa formation into silence.

The golden afternoon sunshine poured down, and every leaf and every brick and tile on the Jiangnan University campus was gently caressed by the warm light.

This ancient institution of learning awakens in the soft light, like a beautiful woman who has experienced many vicissitudes of life but still retains her charm, exuding a quiet and charming charm.

Chen Fangyu stood quietly at the school gate, her eyes revealing a hint of depth and determination.

She looked through the bustling crowd, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar land in front of her. This was her third time stepping into the fertile land of Jiangda, but each time, she was like an explorer embarking on an unknown journey, carrying different missions and expectations.

At the same time, Su Chenjin could no longer contain his excitement and arrived at the gate of Jiangda early.

She anxiously searched the crowd for the familiar figure.

When her eyes fell on Chen Fangyu, a smile as bright as spring suddenly bloomed on her face.

She walked quickly forward and hugged Chen Fangyu tightly.

The friendship between the two seemed particularly deep at this moment.

All the waiting and anticipation were rewarded at this moment.

Chen Fangyu's eyes flashed with determination. She said to Su Chenjin excitedly, "This time when we come to Jiangda again, our Qinyi Clinic's business will be fully opened up, just like a horse galloping on the vast grassland. We will fight side by side with Yao Lao and stand at a higher starting line. We will not only go beyond the South China pharmaceutical market, but also advance into the North China pharmaceutical industry, making the world tremble under our feet!"

Her voice was full of confidence and passion, as if she had seen the glory of the future.

After hearing what Chen Fangyu said, Su Chenjin showed recognition and admiration in his eyes. "President Chen, Qin Medical Clinic will thrive!"

Su Chenjin helped Chen Fangyu carry the suitcase, and the two of them returned to the apartment that Gu Xinliang had helped find last time.

The apartment is simply and warmly decorated, and every detail reveals the care and love for Chen Fangyu.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, adding a bit of warmth to this small space.

Chen Fangyu looked at this home that was tailor-made for her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Su Chenjin was well aware of Chen Fangyu's recent fatigue, so in order to give her a moment of peace, he personally cooked and prepared an exquisite lunch for her.

In the kitchen, there is a symphony of spatulas, curls of oil smoke, and every dish is presented on the table like a work of art.

The two sat at the dining table, enjoying the rare peaceful moment.

Chen Fangyu gently picked up a piece of Chinese toon egg with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The familiar taste instantly made her feel relaxed and satisfied.

She held the big bowl carefully, savoring the delicious food while relieving her fatigue.

Su Chenjin looked at her satisfied expression and felt extremely relieved in his heart.

Chen Fangyu turned her head and looked at Su Chenjin. With a serious tone in her voice, she said, "Xiaojin, don't forget the most important thing tonight!"

Su Chenjin nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry, Dean, everything has been prepared according to your requirements!"

Chen Fangyu said with a satisfied smile. She patted Su Chenjin on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I'm confident that you can do it!"

Su Chenjin smiled slightly, with respect flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Xinliang walked into the apartment. Su Chenjin saw Director Gu Xinliang carrying some fruit into the room. She turned around and said to Chen Fangyu, "Tonight's preparations are also thanks to Director Gu's help!"

Gu Xinliang waved his hand and smiled faintly: "It's a small matter. This is what I should do."

Time is plain and years are quiet songs.

However, this peaceful time did not last long. The news brought by Chen Fangyu was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the medical community of Jiangcheng.

After days of unremitting efforts and careful planning, she actually succeeded in circulating all the medicinal materials from the Yaolao South China Market to the North China Market.

This initiative not only broke geographical restrictions, but also opened up an unprecedented distribution channel for the medical industry.

Yao Lao called at the right time.

His slightly vicissitudes of life voice came through the microphone, "Xiao Yu! If you come to Jiangcheng today, invite Miss Xiao Su to go to Baiyue Tower for tea and snacks in the evening!"

Yao Lao's voice was full of anticipation.

Chen Fangyu's mood at the moment was extremely complicated. She came to Jiangcheng not just to report her work, but more importantly, she invited Professor Fang Zhiying.

This important task made it difficult for her to respond to Yao Lao's invitation easily.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm and firm. "Comrade Yao, I just arrived today and I have a lot of things to do. I'm afraid I can't do it tonight. Xiao Su has other plans tonight. If you want to see us, you must arrive on time tomorrow morning!"

The old man on the other end of the phone seemed to have anticipated Chen Fangyu's response. He deliberately made trouble with a bit of mischief in his tone, "Don't say I don't know. You invited Professor Fang Zhiying and forgot about me, your old friend. I'll give you half a day to prepare. After you're done, you must come to me to report your work!"

Although Yao Lao's words sounded a bit impolite, Chen Fangyu knew that this was Yao Lao's trust and expectation for her.

She nodded quickly and agreed, but she was secretly glad in her heart.

At eight o'clock in the evening in Jiangcheng, the lights are turned on, and the starlight and the neon lights of the city are interwoven into a magnificent picture.

In the center of this city, a top-notch hotel shines like a pearl. Its lights illuminate the night sky and warm the hearts of every passerby.

Inside the hotel, a carefully planned Hongmeng Banquet is taking place.

The host of the banquet, Chen Fangyu, was dressed in gorgeous banquet attire and had a decent smile on her face, but her heart was as nervous as a taut string.

The great professor Fang Zhiying from the Provincial Capital Hospital who was invited this time will have a crucial influence on the future of Qinyi Clinic.

Chen Fangyu had already arranged everything properly long before Professor Fang arrived in Jiangcheng.

From the layout of the banquet hall to the selection of the menu, every detail was carefully selected and arranged by her.

She hopes to impress this renowned figure in the medical field with her sincerity and enthusiasm.

Professor Fang Zhiying is not only Gu Xinliang's fellow student, but also a medical expert with profound knowledge and rich experience.

At the top of the medical field, Professor Fang Zhiying's name is well-known, and his academic achievements and contributions are known to everyone.

Each of his research leads the trend in the medical field, and each of his speeches causes a stir in the industry.

In order to invite Professor Fang, Gu Xinliang visited him three times. Although he failed to meet Professor Fang on the first three times, he did not give up.

Finally, I moved him with my sincerity and determination.

At the banquet, Su Chenjin was like a skilled conductor, skillfully combining elements such as food, music, and art to present a double feast for the eyes and taste.

She specially invited a team of top local chefs.

Shili Ginkgo, a delicacy of Shandong cuisine, became one of the highlights of the banquet with its unique cooking skills and profound cultural heritage.

The golden ginkgo nuts and the emerald green leaves complement each other beautifully. The taste is delicious and nutritious, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

And Farewell My Concubine perfectly demonstrates the perfect combination of chicken and turtle meat.

After careful stewing, the chicken is tender and juicy, the turtle meat is smooth and delicate, and the soup is rich and mellow, which not only satisfies the taste buds but also has the effect of nourishing and maintaining health.

Butterfly floating on the sea is a delicacy with good color, aroma and taste.

The main ingredient is Dongting fish, accompanied by Chinese cabbage buns, shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and other ingredients. It tastes delicious and the soup is rich.

This dish brings together the essence of nature and is unforgettable.

Beside the Seven-Star Stove, the guests raised their glasses and drank, tasting the classic Fujian dish - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Rare ingredients such as sea cucumbers, abalone, fish lips, etc. are paired with yak skin glue, oyster mushrooms, tendons, etc. and are slow-cooked for a long time. The texture is soft and tender and the flavor is rich and meaty.

This dish is not only delicious, but also symbolizes the beautiful wishes of good luck, happiness and longevity.

Su Chenjin's smile was like a spring breeze. Deep in her eyes, there was an indescribable expectation, hiding thousands of stars, shining brightly.

"Good wine goes with good food, and good scenery goes with beautiful women!" She opened her lips gently, her voice gentle and beautiful, like a beautiful poem.

Professor Fang picked up the wine glass, the moonlight sprinkled on his wise face, adding a bit of mystery to him.

He gazed at the bright moonlight and chanted poetically: "I raise my glass to the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three. Today's gathering is truly a match made in heaven. I would like to thank Dean Chen Fangyu for her warm reception, and I would like to thank student Su Chenjin for her thoughtful arrangements. Let us enjoy the bright moon and drink fine wine together!"

His voice is so long and deep that it makes people intoxicated.

Gu Xinliang was not to be outdone. He raised his glass and toasted Professor Fang, saying, "Brother, I toast you! In this tide of reform and opening up, the country has provided us with many good policies. Dean Chen actively responded to the country's call and led us to a better future. Brother, your wisdom and experience are our precious wealth. Please say a few words for us!"

Professor Fang clinked glasses with Gu Xinliang, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I will do my best to bring you a wonderful sharing at tomorrow's exchange meeting. Director Gu, you will not be disappointed!"

As the sound of glasses clinked, laughter and joy rose one after another.

Chen Fangyu warmly invited Professor Fang to taste the food and wine. She said, "Professor Fang, I toast you a glass!"

Professor Fang smiled and clinked glasses with Chen Fangyu, took a sip of the wine, and couldn't help but praise Su Chenjin's attentiveness. He said with emotion: "Dean Chen's business ability is really outstanding, and with Xiaojin's thoughtful arrangements, tonight is really a home away from home, and we left happily!"

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more harmonious. Su Chenjin felt that the time was ripe and proposed cooperation.

Professor Fang couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He said with emotion: "It turns out that this is really not the Hongmen Banquet, but the Hongmeng Banquet!"

"
