Chapter 40: Chapter 38: The Sassy Young Lady Wants to Snatch Qiao Jing’s Ginseng

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I'm a bit busy these days, let's do it next week.”

In the following days, she had to visit the research institute, as the experimental results for the new variety of

corn were about to cout, and she needed to monitor them every day.

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s response, Zhan Qipei was taken aback.

She agreed just like that?

That simple?

“Sister Jing, when are you going to do it? | want to ctoo!” Xu Mogian said, practically drooling at the

thought.

“And me, | want to ctoo!” Zhan Ruiting also wanted to taste Qiao Jing’s signature dishes.

Zhan Qipei looked at Qiao Jing without a word, just gazing at her steadily.

Qiao Jing understood the man’s intentions and turned to Zhan Ruiting and Xu Mogian, “From now on, it's better if

you don’t cover when you have nothing to do.”

“So stingy!” Xu Mogian glared at Zhan Qipei and stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.

Zhan Ruiting, understanding the situation, said to Qiao Jing, “Doctor Qiao, | understand. | won't put you in a

difficult position. After you divorce my cousin, I'll cto you for meals then.”

Zhan Qipei really wanted to throw Zhan Ruiting out of the window!

Eating his family’s food, and still after his woman!

There was a saying that was really true, “It’s hard to guard against a thief within the family!”

The sun was shining brightly that day.

Qiao Jing cout of the research institute; the research results would be out in at most a week.

“Buzz buzz buzz—" The ring of her mobile phone sounded.

Why was Zhan Yuanshan calling her instead of resting properly in the hospital?

“Hello?”

“Jing Girl, my birthday banquet is the day after tomorrow. What do you plan to give me?”

This old man, asking for a gift from someone younger, how could he be so shameless?

That being said, even if Zhan Yuanshan didn’t ask for it, she would still have given him something.

“I haven't decided yet, what do you want?”

“Hehe!”

Zhan Yuanshan’s sudden laughter made Qiao Jing’s scalp tingle.

“I want you to givea great-grandchild.”

Qiao Jing “..."”

“I can’t do that, choose something else.”

“I just want this; | don’t want anything else! | don’t care!” Zhan Yuanshan threw a tantrum like a child.

There’s a saying that the older people get, the more childlike they become, and Zhan Yuanshan was a prime

example.

“I have something else to do, I'm hanging up now.”

Without giving Zhan Yuanshan the chance to respond, Qiao Jing immediately hung up the phone.

“Achoo! Achoo—" Qiao Jing sneezed twice in a row. Without a doubt, Zhan Yuanshan must be grumbling about

her in the hospital.

What gift should she pick out for Zhan Yuanshan?

That's right, she could go to Wonderful Hall and get spremium ginseng.

Conveniently, Wonderful Hall was very close to here.

Before long, Qiao Jing arrived at Wonderful Hall.

Upon entering, she saw a girl who looked like a wealthy young lady disdainfully critiquing the merchandise.

“How can you say that Wonderful Hall is the number one traditional medicine shop in our Imperial City when you

don’t even have any decent products? Look at these lingzhi mushrooms and ginseng; they are clearly inferior.

They might be good enough to sell to those poor souls, but do you think | would take a fancy to them?”

Hearing the girl speak like this, Qiao Jing felt somewhat displeased.

Wonderful Hall was a business she had backed and brought up, the true big boss behind more than 100 chain

stores nationwide.

But the girl was just talking, there was no need for her to trouble herself over this.

When Steward Li saw Qiao Jing arrive, he immediately cup to greet her.

“Miss Qiao, how cyou did not notify us in advance of your arrival? Do you want to go over this year’s

accounts?”

“I am not here for that. | remember two months ago, you acquired a 28g Hundred-Year Wild Ginseng.”

“Yes, that’s correct. I'll go fetch it now.”

Soon, Steward Li cout carefully holding a delicate wooden box.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately caused a stir.

The shape was intact, resembling the character “human,” with a thick main root, complete fibrous roots, long

length, and lush branching.

“What a treasure!”

“Indeed! Such a rare item is hard to find in the world!”

“As expected of the empire’s number one Chinese medicine shop, to have such a treasure hidden away.”

Qiao Jing looked at the Ginseng in the box, nodding with satisfaction.

“This is the one.”

“Alright, | will have someone wrap it up for you,” Steward Li said, but before he could finish, an arrogant voice

rang out.

“Ill take this Ginseng!”

The one who said this was none other than Deng Yunran, the sgirl who had been finding fault all along.

Qiao Jing glanced toward Deng Yunran, giving her a brief indifferent look before turning her gaze back to Steward

Li and saying, “Hurry up, | have other matters to attend to.”

“Of course, of course, please wait a moment.”

Finding herself ignored by Qiao Jing and Steward Li, Deng Yunran becfurious.

“Hey, you two, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what | said? I'm taking that item!”

Qiao Jing took the wooden box from Steward Li's hands and turned to leave.

“Hey! Stop right there! The two of you, stop her!”

Deng Yunran'’s two bodyguards intercepted Qiao Jing, and then she strutted up to Qiao Jing with her hands on her

hips and head held high.

“Do you know who | am? | am the Miss of the Deng Family, my dad is the chairman of Laiyi Culture.”

Qiao Jing looked at Deng Yunran

indifferently, “So, does your family

possess civ R&I,

apleto Wisfegard it, boldly snatch

other people's private property in

broad daylight, and even if caught,

not be subject to legal punishment?”

“I, I—" Deng Yunran was at a loss for words, blocked by Qiao Jing’s retort.

“Who's snatching? | want to buy the Ginseng in your hands!”

“Not selling,” Qiao Jing lightly uttered the two words.

Deng Yunran claimed that this was the first tin her life she had experienced such infuriating impotence.

Deng Yunran produced a card, “Here's five million, far more than its price. Sell it to me!”

Indeed, five million was far above the Ginseng'’s original price, but such a pristine wild Ginseng in perfect

preservation could be considered priceless in the market.

In short, its value far exceeded its price, making it a rarity that even money could rarely buy.

“Not selling. Can't you understand?” Qiao Jing’s voice was tired, her patience clearly nearly exhausted.

Fuming, Deng Yunran stomped her feet and pointed at Qiao Jing in anger, “I insist on having it!”

“Such a willfully capricious demeanor, truly believing that the entire world should treat you as if you were their

child, expecting everyone to pamper you like ssort of deity?” Qiao Jing sneered.

“You—you, who are you calling

capricious? Apologize to me! If you
