NOVPUBLiu Hanyan explained, "It’s the owner of the villa next to us when you saved Mr. Lu last time. I think his name is Wang Guodong."
Chen Nan nodded slightly, "There were several people present at the time; I don’t quite remember which one was Wang Guodong."
Liu Hanyan added, "It’s the one you said had kidney deficiency."
"Oh, it’s him!" Chen Nan recalled the slightly overweight middle-aged man, but his eyes were still full of doubt, "I don’t know him, so what does he want with me?"
Liu Hanyan shook her head, her voice weak, "He wants me to introduce you two, and he said he has an important matter to ask of you."
"Right, he brought a case of Maotai, two cartons of cigarettes, and a set of high-end skincare products when he came—all are downstairs."
"I didn’t want to accept them, but he was so enthusiastic, I simply couldn’t refuse." As she said this, a bitter smile appeared on Liu Hanyan’s face.
Chen Nan knew that Liu Hanyan was a rich lady, although he didn’t know what kind of business she was in, but to live in this wealthy area, she was certainly no ordinary person.
The fact that she accepted these gifts showed how strong Wang Guodong’s enthusiasm was.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Nan said, "Why don’t you give Wang Guodong a call and have him come over?"
Liu Hanyan said okay, then picked up her cellphone and sent a message to Wang Guodong.
After receiving a reply from Wang Guodong, Liu Hanyan and Chen Nan got up, put on their clothes, and then went downstairs to the living room. In less than five minutes, Wang Guodong had rung the doorbell.
Chen Nan went out to open the door and invited Wang Guodong into the villa.
However, Wang Guodong didn’t enter, his face full of apologies and politeness, "Mr. Chen, I apologize for the disturbance so late at night! I’ll get straight to the point, to avoid affecting your and Miss Lu’s rest."
"It’s like this, I wanted to ask if you have a remedy for kidney deficiency?"
He looked embarrassed, as the subject was related to a man’s dignity.
But he had a premonition that Chen Nan’s medical skills were extraordinary, and since he could diagnose his kidney deficiency with just a glance, perhaps he had a way to treat it.
Chen Nan liked straightforward men the most, and Wang Guodong’s character was very much to his liking. After some thought, he said, "You know, I actually do have a formula for treating kidney deficiency."
"However, it’s not a medicinal formula, but an elixir formula."
"It requires the concoction of an elixir."
Wang Guodong was overjoyed; he didn’t doubt Chen Nan’s words. Although the idea of an elixir sounded quite mysterious, the man was wearing a Taoist robe, giving off an aura of an immortal.
Without hesitation, Wang Guodong said eagerly, "I wonder if Mr. Chen would be willing to concoct some elixir for me? I know the rules—just name your price!"
"President Wang is indeed straightforward," Chen Nan said with a smile. "As for the price..." He raised his right hand and stretched out five fingers.
In fact, Chen Nan was a bit uneasy because the herbs needed for his elixir formula cost just a few hundred yuan, and he felt like asking for five thousand yuan was a bit too much.
Wang Guodong said excitedly, "Fifty thousand yuan? Okay, we’ll go with your price."
???
???
???
Chen Nan’s face was full of confusion.
He had intended to say five thousand yuan per pill.
But unexpectedly, the other party had assumed fifty thousand.
What was more outrageous was that without thinking, he had agreed to it.
Seeing Chen Nan’s astonished look, Wang Guodong shuddered. He suddenly realized that Chen Nan’s price wasn’t fifty thousand.
Without further thought, he quickly corrected himself, "I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, I misunderstood. As long as it can cure my illness, let alone five hundred thousand—I would be willing to pay five million!"
With Wang Guodong’s current net worth, spending five million yuan wouldn’t have too great of an impact on him.
Pfft!
Chen Nan barely stopped himself from spluttering out blood. "You’ve indeed misunderstood my intention, but I wasn’t asking for five hundred thousand!"
Indeed, the thoughts of the wealthy are beyond the imaginations of ordinary people.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan tried to calm his emotions and said, "Let’s stick to the price of fifty thousand. If there’s no effect, there’s no fee."
Admittedly, the price of five hundred thousand was very tempting even to Chen Nan.
But he always remembered the words his master had said when he left the mountain.
To be human, one must have a conscience.
That’s why he refused the astronomical offer of five hundred thousand.
Because accepting that money would violate his conscience.
He could be trashy, poor, worthless, but he couldn’t be without a conscience.
After exchanging contact information.
Wang Guodong entered the night, his face full of excitement and anticipation.
Waiting for Chen Nan to contact him to come and collect the medicine.
Liu Hanyan, wearing a red spaghetti strap dress, exuded a sensual and enchanting aura as she stepped out in slippers, her eyes filled with admiration: "You’re quite impressive, actually able to resist such a tempting offer!"
Initially, she simply liked the feeling of being with Chen Nan.
That was all.
She didn’t understand him.
But now, she felt there was something extraordinary about Chen Nan.
And she liked that about him.
Chen Nan shrugged unavoidably, "A gentleman loves wealth, in a way that is proper. I can’t earn a single dime against my conscience!"
He paused and then said, "Aunt, it’s getting late, I should head back."
Liu Hanyan’s heart fluttered, and her face revealed a look of reluctance: "Wouldn’t it be nice to stay tonight and keep your aunt company?"
Having only just become a woman and experienced the joy of it, she had been looking forward to spending a wonderful night with Chen Nan, only to find out he was planning on leaving.
It left her feeling hollow inside, as though she had been abandoned by the entire world.
Seeing the reluctance in Liu Hanyan’s eyes, and that despondent look, Chen Nan suddenly felt an intense sense of guilt.
He could satisfy every woman’s desires around him, even to the point of making them beg for mercy.
But it was obvious,
He couldn’t give them the companionship they wanted.
This sense of guilt was like a knife slicing through his heart, almost suffocating.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan’s face broke into a brilliant smile: "Alright, I won’t leave tonight, I’ll stay with my aunt."
Joy lit up in Liu Hanyan’s once dim eyes, as she casually closed the villa’s main door. With a happy countenance, she hooked Chen Nan’s arm and headed toward the villa, asking with concern, "You’ve been busy for quite some time, are you hungry? Want some late-night snack?"
Chen Nan looked at her deeply, not hiding his desire: "I want to eat you!"
He wanted to cherish the time with Liu Hanyan and give her everything she wanted as much as possible.
Liu Hanyan’s heart rippled with waves, and a palpitation rose within her, but she still said, "Your aunt will take a shower first. After the shower, wherever you want to eat, you can eat."
Chen Nan’s eyes lit up: "How about, we take a bath together?"
Liu Hanyan was stunned for a moment, a seductive blush spreading across her face. Her eyes clouded with allure, she nodded, her heartbeat quickening: "Then let’s wash together!"
Seeing this, Chen Nan immediately bent down, picked up Liu Hanyan in his arms, and after reaching the second-floor bedroom, entered the bathroom with anticipation...
