Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

Jiang Ruoxi went to the provincial capital early the next morning.

She didn't let Ye Chen come along, saying, "You'll only cause trouble if you go."

Ye Chen stood at the door, watching her get into the car. Ayiguli sat in the passenger seat, while the ghost servant guarded the back seat.

He stood at the door for quite a while after the car drove away.

Big Yellow squatted down beside him, looked up at him, as if to ask, "Your wife left again?"

Ye Chen glanced down at it and said, "Don't look at me, she has important business to attend to."

Big Yellow yawned and put its head back on its paws.

The provincial capital's Chamber of Commerce building is located in the city center. It is an old-style Western-style building that has been converted, with ivy climbing all over its exterior walls.

When Jiang Ruoxi arrived, Vice President Zheng Baichuan was already waiting in his office.

Zheng Baichuan was in his fifties, thin, and wore a pair of old-fashioned round-framed glasses. He spoke slowly and deliberately and was a well-known good-natured man in the provincial capital's business community.

He had worked with Jiang Ruoxi several times before and had a very good impression of her.

Jiang Ruoxi laid out Baizhi Valley and Anhetang's qualification documents, medicinal material testing reports, and He'an Ointment's formula materials on the table one by one.

Zheng Baichuan flipped through the report, then adjusted his glasses and said, "Professor Fang Guodong's report? He also conducted animal experiments?"

Jiang Ruoxi said, "Yes, the data is all in the appendix."

Zheng Baichuan nodded and said, "The items are good, but Ruoxi, there's something I need to tell you first."

He put down the report, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Someone came to see me yesterday, Qi Yongchang from the south, you know him, right?"

Jiang Ruoxi's heart sank, but she remained outwardly calm: "I've heard about it. What's wrong?"

Zheng Baichuan said, "He gave me a heads-up, saying that Baizhi Valley's medicinal herbs might apply to enter the distribution channels south of the provincial capital soon. He advised me to 'consider carefully,' without saying anything else, but the meaning was very clear."

Jiang Ruoxi asked, "What did you say to him?"

Zheng Baichuan smiled and said, "I said that I only look at the documents, not the people, when it comes to doing things. If the documents are complete, the channels will naturally open. If the documents are incomplete, no one's opinion will matter. So after he left, I have been waiting for your documents."

Jiang Ruoxi smiled and pushed the documents towards him again, saying, "The documents are all here."

Zheng Baichuan spent most of the morning reviewing the materials. During that time, he received two phone calls and processed an urgent document.

Jiang Ruoxi sat on the sofa, calm and composed.

Aygul stood in the corridor outside the door, a knife hidden in her sleeve, her eyes fixed on everyone passing by.

The ghost servant sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, with a cup of tea that hadn't been touched in front of him. He closed his eyes to rest, but he could hear everyone who came in and out of the lobby.

Before noon, Zheng Baichuan closed the last report and signed the application form.

He said, "Alright, I've issued you the distribution license for the area south of the provincial capital. If Qi Yongchang causes you any more trouble, tell him to come find me."

Jiang Ruoxi stood up, took the documents with both hands, and solemnly thanked them.

As she walked out of the Chamber of Commerce building, she stood on the steps and took a deep breath.

The spring sunshine shines on the ivy, making it glow green.

Aygul walked over and asked, "Is it all done?"

Jiang Ruoxi nodded.

The ghost servant also came out of the hall and said, "Just now, a young man circled around the door twice but didn't come in. I glanced at him, and then he left."

Jiang Ruoxi asked, "Qi Yongchang's men?"

The ghost servant said, "Most likely."

Jiang Ruoxi put the documents away and said, "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back."

At the same time, an uninvited guest arrived at Baizhi Valley.

Ye Chen was helping Ayiguli in the greenhouse. Ayiguli had gone to the provincial capital with Jiang Ruoxi, leaving only him and his seventh uncle in the greenhouse. Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from the direction of the valley entrance.

He went outside and saw a black SUV parked on the dirt road outside the valley entrance, with three people standing next to it.

The man in the lead, around forty years old, with a chubby face and a thick gold chain around his neck, was none other than Qi Yongchang.

Standing next to him were two burly men, one bald and the other with a thick beard, neither of whom looked like easy targets.

Seventh Uncle was already blocking the entrance to the valley, holding a hoe in his hand, his face looking very unpleasant.

Ye Chen walked over and stood next to his seventh uncle.

When Qi Yongchang saw him, he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, we meet again. We couldn't reach an agreement on the phone last time, so I came all the way from Rongcheng today to talk in person."

Ye Chen asked, "What are we talking about?"

Qi Yongchang said, "I'll offer this amount when it comes to moonflower flowers."

He held up five fingers.

Ye Chen asked, "Five hundred thousand?" Qi Yongchang shook his head and said, "Five million, to buy all your seedlings, plus a three-year exclusive acquisition right."

Ye Chen looked at him without saying a word.

Qi Yongchang then said, "Mr. Ye, I am a businessman. In business, there are no deals that cannot be agreed upon, only prices that cannot be agreed upon. If you feel it is not enough, you can add more."

Ye Chen said, "Boss Qi, I'll say it again, moonflower is medicine, it's for patients, it's not merchandise, we won't sell it."

Qi Yongchang's smile slowly faded.

He said, "Mr. Ye, that's not very nice of you. I've come all this way, and you won't even let me in the door?"

Ye Chen said, "You can come in, but you're not welcome to discuss business."

The bald man behind Qi Yongchang took a step forward. Ye Chen didn't even look at him, but simply reached into his pocket, took out the bronze seal, and twirled it between his fingers.

Qi Yongchang's gaze fell on the bronze seal, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Ye Chen asked, "Boss Qi, do you recognize this?"

Qi Yongchang looked at it for two seconds and then shook his head.

Ye Chen said, "This is the seal of Anhetang. You know Anhetang, right? They opened a pharmacy in the southern part of the city during the Republic of China era. This seal was made when Anhetang and Yaowang Valley jointly opened a pharmacy. The two companies merged, then split, and now they've merged again. You just said you've been doing medicinal herb business in the south for twenty years, so you should have heard of the name Anhetang."

Qi Yongchang's expression changed.

Of course he had heard of it. Although Anhetang had been closed for so many years, it was still a well-known name among the elderly people in the southern part of the city.

More importantly, he knew the relationship between Anhetang and Yaowang Valley.

Everyone in the medicinal herb business knows what Medicine King Valley is.

He stared at the bronze seal in Ye Chen's hand for a few seconds, then looked at the medicinal field behind Ye Chen, and finally laughed, but the laugh seemed a little unnatural.

He said, "Mr. Ye, you're trying to intimidate me with your established reputation."

Ye Chen said, "I'm not trying to pressure you, I'm just telling you that this flower isn't something anyone can just take. Whether you offer five million or ten million, we won't sell this flower. If you want to buy medicine, Anhetang has plenty of ready-made medicines. If you want to buy seedlings, we don't have any. That's all."

Qi Yongchang remained silent for a while, then looked back at the bald man and then at the man with the thick beard.

Then he nodded and said, "Alright, Mr. Ye has put it this way, it would be foolish of me to keep arguing. But Mr. Ye, I've been traveling the southern roads for twenty years and know more people than you think. If you want your Baizhi Valley medicine to enter the south, you'd better think it through."

Ye Chen said, "No need to think about it. My wife went to the provincial capital's chamber of commerce on business today. Why don't you call Vice President Zheng Baichuan and ask if he'll give you that kind of face?"

Qi Yongchang's face darkened completely.

He stared at Ye Chen for several seconds, then turned and got into the car.

The bald man and the bearded man followed them inside. The car started, kicking up a cloud of dust, and drove off onto the dirt road.

Seventh Uncle slammed his hoe on the ground and said, "This fat guy's pretty tough."

Ye Chen said, "It won't last long."

He turned and walked towards the greenhouse. After taking a few steps, his phone rang. It was Jiang Ruoxi calling.

She said, "It's all done. We've obtained the distribution license for the area south of the provincial capital."

Ye Chen smiled: "Perfect timing, Qi Yongchang just left."

Jiang Ruoxi asked, "He's come to the valley?"

Ye Chen said, "They came, they left, scared away by your qualification certificate."

Jiang Ruoxi smiled and said, "Then I'll come back now."

Ye Chen said, "Okay, drive carefully."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen stood at the entrance of the greenhouse, looking at the greenhouse full of moonflowers.

The tiny white flowers shimmered in the afternoon sunlight, so quiet and peaceful.

He recalled Aygul's words: "Moonflower can save people, and it can also attract people."

But now he feels that not all the people he's attracted are bad.

Sometimes, what you get is a contract, a qualification, or a path.

As long as you're heading in the right direction, there's nothing to fear.
