Chapter 45: Loser Psychology

  The crowd fell silent again in just a few seconds, with everyone looking at Zhang Yi with an unbelievable expression. They couldn't express their thoughts except by rolling their eyes widely.

  Assets of over 1 billion are not wanted, just 200 million?

  Has his brain rusted away? Or is it that half of his brain is water and the other half is flour, and after shaking it becomes a paste?

  "I used to dislike him, but now I quite like him. He didn't take advantage of others' misfortune or loot in the fire. After weighing his options, he only took the 20 million, which shows that he's not a bad person." Gu Xin Yue said with a complex expression in her eyes.

  "That's right, through my contact with Zhang Yi, I feel that he is upright, kind and has his own bottom line. Although he is young now, I dare to say that his future achievements will be boundless." Hou Tianfang said slowly.

  The old shopkeeper and Zhong Haitao exchanged a glance, both nodding in agreement.

  A storm of sky-high medical bills has come to an end. Amidst Lei Dafu's gratitude, Zhang Yi's account has increased by 200 million.

  Lei Dafu warmly invited Zhang Yi to return with him to his home thousands of miles away, but was rejected by Zhang Yi. Lei Dafu expressed regret and exchanged contact information with Zhang Yi before leaving with his son.

  Zhang Yi occasionally inserted his right hand into his pocket and reached for his wallet.

  Twenty million!

  He never thought that he could earn 200 million, and with the additional 40 million transferred to him by Hou Tianfang, there were already 240 million in the bank card in his wallet.

  It was a huge fortune for him.

  He never even dared to imagine that he could have so much money.

  Square edge.

  The old shopkeeper smiled and looked at Zhang Yi, saying: "Can you tell me, when you were treating that young man, did you really use pulse diagnosis? I've never heard of this treatment method before."

  Zhang Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. This treatment method of pinching the pulse was just something he had made up, to cover up the fact that he had injected the life-saving fluid into the young man's body.

  Let him explain?

  How to explain?

  Are you going to make up another bunch of stories?

  "Hong Zhanggui, pulse-taking is my master's exclusive secret technique and cannot be passed on to outsiders. I hope you can understand." Zhang Yi directly shut down the topic with his words.

  The old shopkeeper nodded with a hint of regret and smiled, "Nothing, it's just that being able to witness such an incredible treatment method feels a bit unbelievable! Zhang Yi, now that you've purchased the Golden Tail Teng, what are your plans next?"

  "Go back and save people."

  The old shopkeeper said, "The Pharmaceutical Materials Conference, held once every three years, will be the most lively tomorrow. Merchants of pharmaceutical materials from all over the country will also rush to attend. Moreover, the most important thing is tomorrow's pharmaceutical auction, don't you want to take a look?"

  Auction of medicinal materials?

  Zhang Yi's expression changed, and he asked: "Hong Zhanggui, what is going on with this medicinal material auction?"

  The old shopkeeper said: "The organizer of the medicinal material auction is a person from the Chinese Medicine Association. Every time the medicinal material conference is held, there will be people from the Chinese Medicine Association participating. They unite with many medicinal material merchants to collect precious medicinal materials and hold centralized auctions. Many medicinal material merchants have precious medicinal materials, which they also take out at this time. After all, many medicinal material merchants, as well as famous Chinese medicine masters in the industry, and even some wealthy businessmen interested in medicinal materials, will come here to participate. Therefore, almost every kind of precious medicinal material that is auctioned off has a value higher than what the medicinal material merchants sell it for themselves. If someone urgently needs a certain type of medicinal material, then the price of that medicinal material at the auction will soar to an unbelievable level."

  Zhang Yi's heart moved slightly, and he hesitated for a moment.

  According to Hong's words, there will be many precious medicinal materials up for auction tomorrow. This is a great opportunity to see a large number of precious medicinal materials. If one leaves today, it would really be a pity.

  And!

  The treatment of Li Cuie's illness is also not different from today.

  Why don't you stay one more day?

  He turned his head to look at Hou Tianfang and smiled: "Hou Lao, what about you? Are you leaving today or waiting until the medicinal material auction is over before leaving?"

  Hou Tianfang smiled and said, "I won't stay much longer. As soon as my wife's illness is cured, the huge stone in my heart can be completely put down. I think that if you're not in a hurry, it's actually possible to stay and take a look, even if you don't participate in the auction, seeing those countless precious medicinal materials with your own eyes is also a great gain."

  Zhang Yi made a firm decision and nodded: "Well, I'll stay for another day."

  Suddenly.

  Gu Xinyue looked at Hou Tianfang and said, "Hou Lao, since you've already obtained the Blood Lingzhi, I'll head back to Haishang City. Please give my regards to Grandma Ge."

  Hou Tianfang nodded with a smile: "Good."

  Gu Xinyue turned her head and glanced at Zhang Yi, then bid farewell to the old shopkeeper and walked away towards a distant place.

  "Wait!"

  Zhang Wei caught up with him in a few steps and called out loudly.

  Gu Xinyue stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Zhang Yi with a calm expression, asking: "Do you have something to say?"

  Zhang Wei looked around and found that about 100 meters away from them, at the corner of the intersection, the young man with ill intentions they had discovered earlier was squatting by the side of the road smoking. He immediately said in a low voice: "I've found someone who seems to have ill intentions towards you. From when we picked up the goods until now, that person has been lurking around you. So be careful."

  Gu Xinyue looked at Zhang Yi with a thoughtful expression, without rushing to observe her surroundings, and calmly said:

  "Is it about this matter?"

  "Yes!" said Zhang Yi.

  Gu Xinyue nodded slightly and said expressionlessly: "I see, goodbye."

  Zhang Yi looked at Gu Xin Yue's back as she turned and left again, giving her a big white eye for free: This woman is really rude, not even knowing how to say thank you.

  "Thank you!"

  Gu Xinyue suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around and said something to Zhang Yi, then lifted her legs again and left.

  Zhang Yi weakly rolled his eyes, with a hint of helplessness and amusement in his heart. He turned to face Hou Tianpeng, the old shopkeeper waved his hand, then walked away in another direction.

  At the bustling intersection, Mao Xinxin puffed on his cigarette, casting a sly glance around him. In his mind, he was indulging in a delightful fantasy: Zhang Yi had made a fortune of 20 million, and as his "eyes", he should at least get a share of 10,000 to 80,000 yuan. With that amount, he could live comfortably for another two months.

  With that illusion, when he found Zhang Yi had already taken a step forward, he suddenly beckoned him over.

  "Zhang Yi, brother, you're amazing! So many famous doctors couldn't cure that strange illness, but you just grabbed his wrist and it's healed? It's unbelievable!" Mao Xinxin chuckled.

  Zhang Yi revealed a hint of a smile and said: "Luckily, I happen to specialize in treating that particular illness."

  Mao Xinxin, with that strange smile, leaned in close to Zhang Yi and asked in a low voice: "I say, Brother Zhang Yi, who exactly is that goddess? Did you know her before?"

  Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "I don't know her, today is also my first time seeing her."

  Mao Xinxin rolled her eyes and smiled: "How is that possible? The first time they met, she knew you could cure the young man's strange illness?"

  Zhang Yi smiled and didn't explain anymore.

  "Mao Xinxin, I plan to stay here for another day. Is there a hotel around here? Take me there!"

  Jinbao International Hotel

  When Mao Xinxin brought Zhang Yi and opened a room here, he bid farewell and left.

  Zhang Yi came to the room alone, closed the door, and directly threw the travel bag in his hand onto the big bed, fiercely waving his fists a few times.

  Quickly taking out his bank card, Zhang Yi kissed it and then lay heavily on the large bed.

  "Two billion four hundred million, I've become a super rich man! From now on, I'll have cars and houses, and finding girls won't be a problem..."

  Lying in bed, staring at the bank card in his hand, Zhang Yi's mind was fully expressing its bitter and helpless identity.

  Two billion four hundred million!

  To his former self, it was an astronomical figure.

  Even a sum of 100,000 yuan was a staggering amount for him. Now that he had 240 million, he felt that if he wore a thick gold chain around his neck, shaved his head bald, wore several glittering gold rings on his fingers, and put on a pair of black sunglasses, he would absolutely exude the aura of a nouveau riche.

  "Now that I have money, should I go buy something to reward myself?"

  Zhang Yi subconsciously touched his stomach and only then remembered that he had just casually bought something to eat at noon and hadn't eaten enough.

  "Today I'm also being luxurious, going to McDonald's and KFC for a meal. In this lifetime, I've only seen the appearance of McDonald's and KFC on TV, but have never been there before!"

  After tidying up briefly, Zhang Yi turned around and went out the door.

  The economic development of Chuzhou City has been exceptionally rapid in recent years. Now the whole city is filled with high-rise buildings, and vehicles are flowing continuously on the highways that lead to all directions.

  It's not even summer yet, but the streets are already filled with beautifully dressed girls, exuding a youthful aura. A few passing girls left behind a string of silvery laughter, making Zhang Yi feel that life is actually so beautiful.

  "Baby, I want that necklace we saw at Chow Tai Fook. Can you buy it for me?" A couple walked towards them, the girl swinging her boyfriend's arm, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

  "There are still three days, and the salary will be paid in three days. After receiving the salary, I'll buy it for you." The boy smiled and scratched his girlfriend's nose with his finger, saying with a smile.

  A familiar scene made Zhang Yi's body suddenly stiffen in place.

  In his mind, unstoppable scenes of him and Wang Xiaoqiu together kept emerging...

  "If I could have earned that much money back then, would Xia Qiu not have left me? We should be living a happy life now, shouldn't we?"

  The heart-wrenching pain, like a knife cut, made all of Zhang Yi's good mood disappear without a trace. His fists were clenched tightly, unsure whether he was resentful of his past uselessness or the woman who had once loved him and abandoned him for a better life.
