Chapter 232 - 232. The Meeting Gifts from the Grandpas
The Idol Group Pet Became a Final Boss
Using his chopsticks, Elder Fang picked up a piece of braised pork belly which was coated in sweet and sticky sauce that seeped entirely into the meat.
He squinted while savoring the meat for a moment before saying slowly, âIn terms of age, I am the oldest, so I should be addressed as Master. You two, call me your Senior.â
The netizens were dumbfounded. â
why?
why??
why?!
Why had even Elder Fang, who was the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of China, fallen for it too!?!
Xiang Yi, who suddenly had three masters, was dumbfounded.
Laughing incessantly, she said, âGrandpa Fang, Grandpa Yun, Grandpa Jing, I may be very interested in medicine, but Iâm afraid I donât have time to study recentlyâ¦â
Since she promised to star in âTwo Under One Roofâ, she had to keep to her word.
Otherwise, it would make things difficult for Shi Sui, Li Jianyu, and the others.
Elder Jing looked around and said after some pondering, âThis place has beautiful scenery, and the air is fresh and pleasant. I can stay and teach you all about medical skills, my beloved apprentice.â
Elder Yun said, âYes, this is a serene place that is suitable for meditation.â
Elder Fang said, âLittle apprentice, you wonât mind us being here, right? Ah, well, itâs normal that people would dislike us three old fogiesâ¦â
Xiang Yi said, âI donât mean that, Grandpas, you may stay for as long as you wish, Iâm just afraid that Iâll be too incompetent and end up letting you guys downâ¦â
Elder Fang was just waiting for her to say those words. He winked at the people following him and soon, someone immediately carried a brocade box over and stood still in front of Xiang Yi.
Xiang Yi opened the box to see that there was a superior-grade ginseng inside.
It was wild ginseng that was as thick as a human arm and at least decades old.
âGrandpa Fang, I canât take thisâ¦â Xiang Yi wanted to decline politely, but Elder Fang said calmly, âThis is a meeting gift from me. Take it as a snack and munch on it, it isnât that valuable.â
The netizens were appalled.
ââ[Treating ginseng like a snack?]
ââ[I take my hats off to the big shots. Some people might mistake that ginseng to be a carrot.]
ââ[Previously, I saw a ginseng of similar size being sold for a six-figure amountâ¦]
Elder Yun also sent someone to bring his gift over, which was a box of Tianshan snow lotus.
Before Xiang Yi could speak, he said calmly, âDonât stand on ceremony with me. Soak this lotus in water to brew floral tea for reducing the dampness in your body. It comes with beautifying effects.â
The netizens were appalled.
ââ[Snow lotus⦠Floral tea⦠Forget it, Iâll mute my mic.]
Elder Jing was the only one who was staring with his eyes wide open.
âAh, these two scheming old men! How could they secretly prepare gifts for her behind my back!?â
âIâve never tried to cozy up to anyone all my life, nor do I know how to communicate well with others. How could I have thought of bringing a gift for my good apprentice!?â
Seeing how surprised and flattered Xiang Yi was when she looked at the ginseng and snow lotus, Elder Jing was heartbroken!
âHow good can this thing be? Whatâs the point of these little gifts?â
He humphed and pulled out a card from the pocket of his Traditional Chinese garb. âThere you go, come to our store and use this card to get whatever youâd like to eat!â
What he pulled out was clearly the card that was exclusive only to insiders, which could be used in all medicine hall branches under Jishi Tang Medicinal Hall!
The netizens commented: [Elder Jing is just like the domineering grandfather of the overbearing CEOs in novels!]
Elder Fang was dumbfounded.
Elder Yun was speechless.
âCrap, he has outshone us!â
With his hands in his pocket, Elder Jing glared at Elder Fang and Elder Yun menacingly before turning to look at Xiang Yi with a childish but happy grin.
