Because at this moment, Hu Xiaobei discovered that this girl named Song Xue'er was indeed a super cute beauty!

With a cute ponytail, she was dressed in a knee-length white pleated skirt. Beneath the skirt, her slightly bony legs were encased in black bubble socks. Following them down, a pair of white sneakers wrapped around her plump feet, exuding an undeniable air of youthfulness!

So beautiful!

After sincerely admiring her looks, Hu Xiaobei came back to his senses and softly said, "Hello, I'm Hu Xiaobei!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak, Song Xue'er scrutinized him carefully a few times, after which a trace of suspicion flickered through her eyes!

Previously, she had received a call from Song Feng, telling her to come here because something had happened, so she hurried over!

However, upon arriving, no terrible incident had occurred, but instead, her grandfather Song Feng had met a so-called 'famous doctor'!

Knowing this, she did not believe it at first because she didn't think a renowned doctor would choose to live in such a place!

Now, seeing how young Hu Xiaobei was, she was even more skeptical about him being a famous doctor…

Thinking in this way, Song Xue'er quickly asked, "Doctor Hu, right? My grandfather said you had gone to the mountain to collect medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, I went up the mountain for a while!"

"Can I see what you collected from the mountain?"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "I was only there for a short while, so I didn't collect much!"

"That's okay, I just want to take a look!"

"Well... okay then!"

Knowing that if he didn't show her, she would really start to doubt him, Hu Xiaobei took down the medicine basket!

Following this, Hu Xiaobei poured out all the medicinal herbs he had collected...

"There really isn't much, is there!"

Seeing that there were only a few plants, Song Xue'er murmured to herself quietly!

However, she quickly yelped in surprise...

Not only her, but Song Feng was also visibly astonished at the sight of these herbs!

Thus, both Song Xue'er and Song Feng scrutinized them very carefully…

Seeing this scene, Hu Xiaobei smiled!

Hu Xiaobei knew that although the quantity of the medicinal herbs he had gathered this time was not large, the quality of them was very high, especially the Bamboo Ling Root that was over a hundred years old—it was simply priceless!

As Hu Xiaobei thought this, Song Xue'er carefully held the Bamboo Ling Root in her hand and then excitedly asked, "Grandfather, is this... is this Bamboo Ling Root?"

Hearing Song Xue'er's question, Song Feng nodded in astonishment, "Yes, it appears that this Bamboo Ling Root is over a hundred years old!"

"This…"

Hearing Song Feng's affirmation, Song Xue'er was full of shock!

She owned a medicinal factory, so she understood how valuable a Bamboo Ling Root over a hundred years old was—in fact, it was sometimes impossible to buy no matter how much money you offered!

Because it was just too rare…

After her initial shock, Song Xue'er looked anew at the other medicinal herbs and found that although their age was relatively lower, they were still very precious!

"Just a few hours to find so many medicinal herbs, that's really incredible!"

As she thought this, Song Xue'er turned to look at Hu Xiaobei, realizing that she had underestimated him before!

"Doctor Hu, right? I'm really sorry about before! I... I..."

Hearing Song Xue'er's apology, Hu Xiaobei gently waved his hand!

Following this, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "It's okay, I understand! If I were you, I would have been cautious too!"

"Thank you for your understanding! By the way, can I buy this Bamboo Ling Root from you? Of course, we can discuss the price!"

Nervous! Song Xue'er was extremely nervous as she asked the question!

Because she feared that Hu Xiaobei would not agree!

"No problem! Selling it to you is completely fine!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

During this conversation, Hu Xiaobei looked at Song Feng and said, "Old man, now that we have all the medicinal herbs, I'll start preparing the medicine. You'll be able to take it in a little while; remember, during this period, avoid eating anything too spicy, okay?"

"Okay, I understand."

Song Feng felt a bit excited while speaking!

Because he knew he really had hope again…

After starting to prepare the medicine, Hu Xiaobei heard footsteps. Turning around, he saw a somewhat blushing Song Xue'er standing not far behind him!

Seeing her somewhat embarrassed expression, Hu Xiaobei smiled and softly asked, "How old are you this year?"

"I'm eighteen!"

Hearing Song Xue'er's age, Hu Xiaobei was somewhat startled, "You're managing a company at eighteen?"

"I wouldn't really say managing the company. My grandfather makes most of the big decisions! I just help out with overseeing things."

"I see."

Hu Xiaobei nodded slightly!

Hu Xiaobei knew that Song Feng was actually focusing on training her because sooner or later, the pharmaceutical factory was meant to be hers!

"Doctor Hu…"

Hearing her address him that way, Hu Xiaobei quickly waved his hand, "Don't call me Doctor Hu, it sounds strange. I'm only a year older than you; call me Brother Xiaobei instead!"

"This…"

Seeing her hesitation, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "What? Does calling me brother feel like a bad deal?"

"No! You're older than me, so it's only right I call you brother! Brother Xiaobei, can… can my grandfather really recover?"

Hearing her anxious question, Hu Xiaobei earnestly responded, "There shouldn't be a big problem! But as I said, he needs to rest properly during this time."

"Yes, resting won't be a problem!"

At this point, Song Xue'er, having completely relaxed, quickly changed the topic, "Brother Xiaobei, can I ask if there's any special trick to collecting herbs?"

Watching her become a curious soul, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand, "There's no special trick, I just often go to the back mountain, so I'm more familiar with the environment and can find more medicinal herbs!"

"So that's how it is! By the way, you can sell all the medicinal herbs you find to me in the future! I promise I won't let you suffer with the price!"

"Alright! In the future, we'll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate well!"

"Great!"

While Hu Xiaobei and Song Xue'er were setting their future cooperative plans, in the herb collection point in the county town, Guo Demeng and Su Wei, who previously sought Hu Xiaobei's 'secret recipe', were frowning…

At that moment, Guo Demeng, somewhat impatient, spoke up, "Something isn't right here, there used to be a lot of people causing trouble in Xiaohe Village, so why haven't we heard anything yet!"

Before, they had paused purchasing herbs!

They had informed everyone that the pause was because of Hu Xiaobei…

After that, they knew many people had gone directly to Xiaohe Village to seek accountability. Knowing everyone had gone to Xiaohe Village made them extremely happy!

In their opinion, since these people had gone to Xiaohe Village, good news should come soon, but now, no news had come, which was really driving them crazy…

"Could it be…"

Before he could finish, Guo Demeng's phone rang…

"Looks like good news has arrived!"

With such excited muttering, Guo Demeng quickly took out his phone, and to let Su Wei hear the good news immediately, he picked up the phone and instantly turned on the speaker…
