Chapter 170 Someone Else
Chapter 170 Someone Else
Although Tang Yiyuan had frequently visited the provincial government residence and was a significant figure in the medical community of Jiangnan Province, he had never imagined that one day he would step into this solemn siheyuan, nor had he imagined that he would meet this elder, whom he could only ever see on television.
Before coming, Feng Jiahui had not told Tang Yiyuan why her father had invited him. It would be more appropriate for her father to explain this matter. Moreover, back then, that person had not even left a name for her father. After so many years, she, an outsider, truly had no way to clarify.
"Elder, Elder Chief, hello!" Even as someone well-traveled, Tang Yiyuan felt a surge of warmth around his eyes and instinctively straightened his back when he saw the elder.
Not knowing why, the elder felt a bit disappointed upon seeing Tang Yiyuan because his instincts told him that this man was definitely not the Descendant or inheritor of his benefactor.
However, the fact that Tang Yiyuan had produced Qinghe Herbal Tea was undeniable. And so, despite some disappointment, the elder still welcomed him with a smile, "Ha-ha, Professor Tang, please, have a seat, a seat."
"Yes, Elder Chief." Tang Yiyuan took a deep breath and then carefully took his seat, keeping his spine straight.
Seeing Tang Yiyuan acting so constrained and nervous, the elder became even more convinced that he was not the person he was looking for.
Because in the elder's mind, that person's every action exuded a strong sense of confidence and ease. Even if his Descendant didn't have comparable abilities, at least he should have inherited a bit of his confidence and ease.
"You must be wondering why I invited you here, aren't you?" the elder said cheerfully.
Tang Yiyuan glanced at the elder's legs covered with a blanket, his eyes showing confusion, and nodded, "Yes, Elder Chief."

Although his medical skills were excellent, what place was the capital? It was a gathering place for National Medical Masters. Tang Yiyuan was not yet confident enough to think that the elder's daughter had invited him from afar just to treat the elder.
"Who gave you the formula for this Qinghe Herbal Tea?" the elder saw Tang Yiyuan's confused expression, smiled, and finally got to the point.
Tang Yiyuan trembled when he heard this question and then suddenly became very tense.
He finally understood why the elder had invited him—it was because of the Qinghe Herbal Tea, or rather, because of Ge Dongxu behind the Qinghe Herbal Tea!
No one knew better than Tang Yiyuan the miraculous nature of Ge Dongxu, especially his dealings with jade, which were shrouded in indescribable mystery!
But the more mysterious a person, the greater the matters they are likely involved in!
Now indeed, because of Qinghe Herbal Tea, he had alarmed this former influential figure of Huaxia Country!
But was this a good thing or a bad thing? As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. For someone like Ge Dongxu, who possessed miraculous abilities, what awaited him once the state discovered him?
Tang Yiyuan felt utterly unsure!
So, he was nervous. Faced with a simple question, he did not know how to respond. Because Ge Dongxu had told him they were friends, but in reality, he was also his teacher, and subconsciously, Tang Yiyuan wanted to protect him.
"Don't be nervous. The owner of this formula is in my good graces," the elder noticed Tang Yiyuan's nervousness and hurriedly reassured him with a smile.
Tang Yiyuan looked at the elder, knowing the elder's reputation and status, he surely didn't need to lie to him. Moreover, with the elder's status, if he were to delve deeper into the investigation, it would be easy to uncover Ge Dongxu. Hence, Tang Yiyuan finally let go of his nervousness and honestly replied, "Elder Chief, since you are aware of me, it must mean you have seen information about our Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory. You should know our factory has a young major shareholder, Ge Dongxu."
"It's him!" The elder was slightly stunned by this revelation. He had thought that if it was not Tang Yiyuan, then it must be one of Tang Yiyuan's elders or someone similar. He hadn't expected that, after all the twists and turns, it would lead back to the young shareholder of the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory.
"That's right, the formula was provided by him. Since he still needs to study, he gave the formula to me and asked me to be in charge of the technology," Tang Yiyuan explained.
"I didn't expect that I was the one who misjudged!" The elder found the situation somewhat worth both tears and laughter, and Feng Jiahui felt it the most.
Because this meant that her trip had been in vain and that she would need to make another trip, and this time, to invite a high school student.
Keep in mind that she is a central bank leader!
But the problem is that her father couldn't care less whether she was a leader or not!
"Since the old chief wants to meet him, why don't I give him a call and ask him to come to the capital," Tang Yiyuan mustered his courage and said. After all, Ge Dongxu wanting to keep a low profile definitely wouldn't be possible anymore, so it's better to take initiative.
"Let Feng Jiahui go again. After all, the young man is just a high school student. It's not good for him to travel so far alone, and also someone needs to find a reason to inform his school," the elder said.
Since the elder had spoken, Tang Yiyuan naturally did not dare to speak further, and Feng Jiahui felt the same.
She just had to make another trip to Jiangnan Province, but this time Tang Yiyuan accompanied her.
...
Ge Dongxu had never imagined that one day he would be face-to-face with the old revolutionary he had seen in history books and on television.
To say he wasn't thrilled would be a lie; this was a genuine hero of the resistance against Japan, a figure nobody in Huaxia Country could meet without feeling stirred and deeply respectful! Ge Dongxu was no exception.
He had admired this veteran of the resistance against Japan since he was very young!
However, Ge Dongxu wasn't particularly nervous or uneasy; instead, he excitedly bowed and said, "Hello, Grandpa Feng!"
From the moment Ge Dongxu stepped through the door, Elder Feng knew he was the person he had been looking for because he saw that person's reflection in him—calm, confident, cool, and with an especially sharp gaze, as if he could see through everything.
"Who taught you the herbal tea formula? Cough cough…" Seeing the person he was looking for, the elder's excitement was no less than Ge Dongxu's, and he immediately asked with a trembling voice, even erupting into a severe cough due to his agitation.
"Dad! Please, don't get too excited," Feng Jiahui hurried forward and gently patted the elder's back.
But once the elder caught his breath, it didn't settle easily, and in her urgency, Feng Jiahui's patting became somewhat forceful.
"Let me do it!" Seeing Feng Jiahui being a bit too rough, Ge Dongxu stepped forward and offered. He couldn't care less that this was Elder Feng's house, and that, normally, an ordinary person shouldn't get too close to an elder with such a status.
"No way!" Feng Jiahui swiftly rejected him without a second thought, joking aside, what status her father held, how could she let a young kid pat his back.
If he wasn't gentle enough and caused any pain, that would be too much to bear!
"I understand medicine," Ge Dongxu said.
"Even if you do, it's a no," Feng Jiahui replied instantly. In her eyes, Ge Dongxu was just a high school student, how much could he possibly know about medicine?
