The Physician Tycoon

Jiang Qian looked up and exclaimed, "Wan Hong, what brings you here?"

Wan Hong smiled and said, "I was passing by and heard you were here, so I came up to see you. You really are something, coming to work in Jiangzhou without even telling me, so I could have given you a welcome dinner."

"I just arrived and have a lot to take care of. I was planning to contact you in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

Wan Hong tentatively asked, "You're not ignoring me because our businesses are competing, are you?"

"How could that be? Do you think I'm that petty?"

Wan Hong looked Jiang Qian up and down. "She wasn't like that when we were in school. I don't know if she is now."

Jiang Qian retorted angrily, "Get lost!"

Wan Hong chuckled, then looked at Ye Kai, "Weren't you at the Su family's house just now?"

Ye Kai nodded.

Jiang Qian introduced, "This is my client Ye Kai, and this is my classmate Wan Hong."

Wan Hong extended her hand to Ye Kai, "Hello, Ye Kai."

"Hello there."

"How about this, I'll treat you two to dinner as a welcome back dinner for Jiang Qian."

Jiang Qian politely said, "Let me treat you."

"No, you've just arrived in Jiangzhou, so of course I'll treat you. You can treat me later."

"All right."

So the three of them went to a local restaurant called Taoyuan Cuisine nearby. Wan Hong introduced it to them.

"This local restaurant is run by people from Taoyuan. It's very famous. Not only people from Taoyuan come to eat here, but many people from Jiangzhou also come here because of its reputation."

There's a queue to eat at her house, but I'm close to the owner and managed to get a seat through a back door.

Sure enough, there was a long queue in front of the door, with many people sitting on benches waiting.

The three of them went up to a window seat on the second floor and ordered a few dishes.

The waiter brought out sunflower seeds and peanuts, free of charge, to help guests pass the time.

Wan Hong seemed quite interested in Ye Kai. "Ye Kai, where is he from?"

"From Taoyuan Peach Blossom Village."

"You're also from Taoyuan? Then you and Jiang Qian are from the same hometown! We've come to the right place today."

Taoyuan is really impressive; its local cuisine is especially famous. According to statistics, there are hundreds of Taoyuan restaurants in Jiangzhou!

Jiang Qian was quite surprised, "Are there that many?"

"Yes, the local dishes in Taoyuan are indeed delicious, and I heard that all the ingredients here are transported from Taoyuan."

"Do you have to transport vegetables from Taoyuan every day?"

"Yes, that's what makes it fresh."

"How much manpower and resources would that require?"

"I heard there's a logistics company that specializes in transporting vegetables from Taoyuan to Jiangzhou, and then distributing them to various local restaurants."

"It's quite big."

"Yes, I think you Taoyuan people are very good at business. Look, your family business is quite large, isn't it?"

Jiang Qian laughed, "You're quite the smooth talker. You went around in circles, but it turns out you wanted to praise my family. Your business is the bigger one!"

Jiang Qian turned to Ye Kai and said, "Ye Kai, let me introduce you to this Miss Wan."

Ye Kai already knew Wan Hong's identity, but he pretended not to.

"Didn't you already introduce him? He's your classmate, isn't he?"

"She also has another identity: purchasing manager of the Wanlele Group. You've heard of Wanlele Group, right? The largest chain supermarket in Jiangzhou!"

Wan Hong immediately retorted, "Your Jiang family's Hai Shang Lian Hua is the largest retailer in Jiangzhou!"

"Alright, let's stop flattering each other. If we keep doing this, Ye Kai will start laughing at us."

At this moment, the dishes were served.

Jiang Qian opened three bottles of beer. "Come on, let's drink."

Wan Hong asked curiously, "Ye Kai, what products do you make?"

Jiang Qian explained, "Ye Kai makes watermelons and peaches; you could talk to him about a collaboration. Ye Kai, if you could get into the Wanlele Group, your sales would skyrocket. You two should have a good talk; I'm going to take a look."

After saying that, Jiang Qian left her seat and went to the restroom.

Wan Hong was clearly intrigued. "Ye Kai, how much are your watermelons per pound?"

"Supply price is ten yuan, retail price is fifteen yuan."

"It's not cheap. Is there anything special about it?"

"My watermelons have health benefits; they can nourish yin and strengthen yang in men, and beautify the skin in women."

"Does it really work?"

"You can buy it at Lianhua Supermarket, and many small supermarkets and restaurants sell it. You can try one and see for yourself."

Wan Hong became increasingly interested. "Then why don't you send me a batch of goods to try?"

Ye Kai shook his head. "No need to see me out."

Wan Hong asked curiously, "Why didn't you send it?"

"I'm not sending it."

Wan Hong speculated, "Did Jiang Qian sign an exclusive sales contract with you, preventing other companies from selling it?"

"no."

"Then why are you turning down the business that comes to you? Is it because the business is too easy to come by? Well then, I'll have to have a good talk with you about it."

You need to understand that our Wanlele Group isn't easy to get into. If it weren't for the fact that you and Jiang Qian have a good relationship, I wouldn't have agreed to work with your products so quickly.

Wan Hong was a little angry. Usually, customers would ask her to sell their products, but now that she had offered to distribute Ye Kai's products, Ye Kai refused outright, which made her lose face.

Ye Kai wasn't angry. "I know the Wan family is very powerful, but I won't do business with them."

Wan Hong was practically going crazy. She had never encountered anything like this before. Someone didn't want to do business with the Wan family. She wanted to know the truth, "What's the reason? Has our family offended you?"

"no."

Wan Hong felt she had reached her limit. No one had ever dared to disregard the Wan family like this before. Ye Kai was just a country youth; how could he have such confidence?

She urged, "Why is that? Tell me now, or I'll go crazy!"

Ye Kai hadn't decided whether to tell Wan Hong that the Wan family was a traitorous enterprise. He said unhurriedly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Your family is very powerful, but not everyone wants to do business with your family."

Wan Hong stood up angrily, "If you don't tell me the reason today, I won't let you off the hook!"

Jiang Qian returned and, seeing Wan Hong was angry, asked curiously,

"What's wrong with you two? Why are you arguing?"

Ye Kai smiled slightly, "It's nothing. I was discussing some business matters with Miss Wan, but we disagreed and are currently debating."

"What's wrong?"

Wan Hong said angrily, "I invited Ye Kai to include our products in Wanlele, but he refused!"

"Huh? Ye Kai, is that so? Why are you unwilling?"

"Can we stop talking about business and just focus on eating?" Ye Kai tried to change the subject.

"Of course we can! We're here to eat!"

With emotion, Wan Hong picked up the wine bottle and said, "Come on, Ye Kai, I'll toast you."

She blew into the bottle and quickly finished the entire bottle of beer.

Someone at the next table cheered, "What a great girl, she can really drink!"

You don't even need to look at the person; just by listening to their voice, you can tell they're from Japan.
