"Hello, I'm looking for your Director Ruan."

In the bustling lobby, Yang Buqun wasn't angry, instead he spoke quite gentlemanly.

"I'm sorry, sir, do you have an appointment?"

"No."

Yang Buqun shook his head. With his status, seeing the heads of some companies doesn't require appointments, so he never adopted this habit.

"Sorry, sir, without an appointment, you can't see Director Ruan."

The receptionist said.

"Did that guy have an appointment?"

Yang Buqun's expression turned slightly dark, because he saw Qin Yang had already pulled ahead several steps, and no one stopped him.

"Mr. Qin didn't have an appointment."

The receptionist shook her head and said.

"He didn't have an appointment, but he can go up; why can't I?"

Yang Buqun's expression sank. He felt his dignity was being unreasonably and mercilessly challenged.

"Manager Luo specifically ordered that Mr. Qin doesn't need an appointment and can directly see Director Ruan."

The receptionist responded.

"Secretary Luo? Which Secretary Luo?"

Yang Buqun frowned.

Ding!

At this moment, the elevator opened.

A beautiful woman dressed in a black OL outfit walked out from the elevator and headed toward Qin Yang.

"Young Master Qin, Director Ruan sent me to escort you, please follow me."

Luo Caijie said respectfully to Qin Yang.

"That's Secretary Luo."

The receptionist looked towards Luo Caijie and Qin Yang's direction and said.

"Is she Director Ruan's secretary?"

Yang Buqun raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I don't know what position that Young Master Qin holds, but I've seen Secretary Luo personally welcome him twice."

The receptionist nodded, her gaze carrying a hint of admiration as she spoke.

Yang Buqun's face darkened; the contrast was too obvious.

I, Young Master Yang, am blocked here while this kid has free access and even has someone to welcome him. Just then, Yang Buqun bypassed the receptionist and quickly walked over.

"Hey, sir, sir, you can't..."

The receptionist hurried after him.

"Hello, I'm Yang Buqun, Chairman of World Jewelry Group, and I want to see your Director Ruan."

Yang Buqun said, staring straight at Luo Caijie.

"Ah, Chairman Yang."

Luo Caijie was a bit surprised. The World Jewelry Group has competitive ties with their company, and she had seen Yang Buqun at a banquet before and knew about his entanglement with Ruan Xinxue.

"Please wait a moment; I will inform Director Ruan."

Luo Caijie responded with great professionalism.

Yang Buqun's eye twitched slightly; even after revealing his identity, he couldn't see Ruan Xinxue directly.

At this moment, Yang Buqun felt like swearing.

Haven't you noticed how nicely I'm dressed in this suit? Haven't you noticed the large bouquet of roses in my hand? How dare you let me, the wooer, wait here?!

"Ahem, Young Master Yang, this should be for Sister Ruan, right? How about I deliver it for you?"

Qin Yang coughed lightly, pointing at the huge bouquet of roses in Yang Buqun's hand, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

As he spoke, Qin Yang stretched out his hand, and in the moment that Yang Buqun was stunned, he took the bouquet of roses into his own hands.

Yang Buqun's eyes shrank. In such a public setting, he couldn't just snatch it back. For a moment, Yang Buqun stood there feeling awkward.

However, Qin Yang and Luo Caijie didn't bother with him any further and directly stepped onto the elevator.

The receptionist then kept a close watch on Yang Buqun, fearing he might force his way up.

"Huff!"

Yang Buqun's face was slightly sullen, taking a deep breath to relieve his frustration, he thought waiting for two minutes wouldn't be too bad.

Ding dong!

The elevator stopped on the 18th floor, and Qin Yang entered Ruan Xinxue's CEO office, holding the bouquet of roses.

"Sister Ruan, these are for you."

Qin Yang smiled as he handed the flowers to Ruan Xinxue at her desk, without mentioning how he got the flowers. Anyway, he didn't have much goodwill towards Yang Buqun, given the previous jadeite robbery incident; he considered not dealing with him was already fortunate.

"Thank you, the flowers are lovely."

Ruan Xinxue accepted the flowers with a trace of a smile on her lips.

Luo Caijie naturally wouldn't expose the matter; seeing Director Ruan happy receiving the flowers, she made Qin Yang a cup of tea, mentioned Yang Buqun waiting downstairs, and then left.

"Qin Yang, there's something I want to ask of you."

Ruan Xinxue hesitated a bit before slowly speaking.

"Sister Ruan, please go ahead."

Qin Yang nodded, indicating for Ruan Xinxue to continue.

"Here's the thing, my grandfather has an old friend from decades ago, who is addicted to drinking. He started drinking during the wars and hasn't stopped, drinking almost daily. Recently, his health has deteriorated, and he's even coughed up blood. My grandfather is very concerned, so I want to ask if you could visit and have a look, would that be possible?"

Ruan Xinxue looked at Qin Yang with a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Sure, no problem."

Qin Yang smiled and nodded.

"You've agreed?"

Ruan Xinxue's face lit up with joy. She was fairly familiar with Qin Yang's character; someone with such high medical skills like Qin Yang doesn't take action easily. Last time, when Zhou Yizhen, Old Zhou, invited Qin Yang, he offered a diagnosis fee of five million.

"Haha, it's not a big deal."

Qin Yang laughed. For strangers who want him to provide medical treatment, five million is the base price; whether he goes or not still depends on his mood. But when it comes to Ruan Xinxue, he wouldn't do that; Sister Ruan is good-natured and indeed his lucky star.

"Don't worry, I will cover the diagnosis fee."

Ruan Xinxue said with a smile.

"No need, Sister Ruan, whoever wants treatment should pay."

Qin Yang shook his head, indicating he wouldn't take Ruan Xinxue's money.

Additionally, cultivators have some sense of fortune and fate, and he could vaguely feel that this might be an opportunity.

"Shall we head out now?"

Ruan Xinxue asked.

"Let's wait a moment. Before we go, we need to prepare some things first."

Qin Yang smiled, writing several names of herbs on a piece of paper.

"Fresh oranges, snow lotus, self-heal herb, honeysuckle..."

Ruan Xinxue glanced at the list, her eyes turning to Qin Yang.

"Qin Yang, what are these for?"

Ruan Xinxue asked curiously.

"I'm going to brew something and need these materials."

Qin Yang replied.

"Okay, I'll instruct Secretary Luo to purchase them."

Ruan Xinxue knew Qin Yang had his reasons for doing this and didn't ask further.

"Remember, the oranges must be the freshest, get five pounds, and for other herbs, three units each will do. Also, prepare an empty jade wine bottle."

Qin Yang instructed Secretary Luo.

Luo Caijie nodded, took the list, and went out shopping.

Twenty minutes later, Luo Caijie returned with everything Qin Yang needed.

"Sister Ruan, I'd like to borrow your employee cafeteria."

Qin Yang said.

"Alright."

Ruan Xinxue nodded and led Qin Yang to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was clean and tidy, with only Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue present.

Qin Yang picked up a small stainless steel basin, pinched his fingers, and roughly ten bright red oranges floated. Several small wind blades emerged from Qin Yang's fingertips, and within a few moments the orange peels were entirely removed, leaving only the bright red flesh.
