The Lone Dragon of China.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. It was because of such parasites that it became increasingly difficult for the common folk to get things done.

"Mom, let me handle this," Qin Fei turned around and said.

"Kid, don't think I don't know who you are. The useless son-in-law of the Su family, spending his days eating and drinking at home, and now you dare to speak arrogantly? Are you out of your mind?" Mr. Li sneered.

Hu Dong couldn't help but laugh as well. "I've heard that Su Ziping's daughter married a good-for-nothing, and today I see it's true. Not only is he useless, but he's also clueless."

Qin Fei sneered, "In Jiangcheng, is there anyone older than you?"

"Heh, don't talk nonsense. In Jiangcheng, aside from Hao Chunming, I fear no one. What? Can't handle it? Why don't you call Hao Chunming here for me to have a look?" Hu Dong said arrogantly.

Qin Fei snorted, "If I didn't know Hao Chunming, you would take advantage of it, wouldn't you?"

"Exactly!" Hu Dong nodded in agreement. "Kid, just based on your attitude today, not only will I not issue a permit for Zhao Ya, but I'll also have your father-in-law, Su Ziping, fired! Of course, if you beg me, maybe I'll give you a chance."

After saying that, Hu Dong and Mr. Li couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhao Ya's face turned pale, and she suddenly regretted her impulsiveness. Offending Hu Dong meant that the Su family was probably going to get into big trouble.

Realizing this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but glare at Qin Fei.

"Who's speaking so arrogantly?" At that moment, Hao Chunming and Captain Zhang walked over from not far away.

Hu Dong, with his back to Hao Chunming, immediately felt anger rise in him upon hearing the voice. He turned around and scolded, "I! Hu Dong, Secretary Hu! What—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his expression changed drastically.

"Minister Hao, what brings you here?" Hu Dong's attitude flipped 180 degrees. He hurriedly approached, bowing and scraping, saying, "What brings you here?"

"If I weren't here, would you be so impressive?" Hao Chunming said coldly, "What, no one in Jiangcheng can handle you now?"

Hu Dong's face turned bitter. "I—I didn't mean that. It's just that this kid is too arrogant, I just wanted to teach him a lesson..."

"Mr. Qin, what's going on here?" Before Hu Dong could finish his words, Hao Chunming bypassed him and walked over to Qin Fei with a smile.

Qin Fei forced a smile. "You came just in time. Otherwise, I might have had to kneel to your secretary."

Upon hearing this, Hao Chunming's face changed drastically. He hurriedly apologized, "This is my negligence. I didn't expect such a parasite to exist around me. Don't worry, I'll have him kicked out as soon as we get back."

"I was wrong. I didn't know you were friends with Minister Hao. Please, don't hold it against me," Hu Dong's face turned pale as he kneeled in front of Qin Fei.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, I'll issue your company's permit right away, please say something!" Hu Dong begged as he clutched Qin Fei's legs.

Zhao Ya was still in shock, unable to come to her senses. She stared at Qin Fei in disbelief. She never imagined her useless son-in-law would have such power.

"Qin Fei, oh no, Mr. Qin, please say something!" Hu Dong begged, still holding on.

Qin Fei's face darkened. "A parasite like you should be sent to jail. You should be begging the judge."

"Mr. Qin is right, go back and wait for your prison sentence," Hao Chunming said with a snort.

Hearing this, Hu Dong's face turned ashen, and he plopped down onto the ground.

"Mr. Qin, let's go. Don't let this petty matter ruin our mood," Hao Chunming said, pulling Qin Fei's arm with a smile.

Qin Fei nodded. "Please wait a moment, I need to talk to my mom."

He then walked aside with Zhao Ya.

Before Qin Fei could speak, Zhao Ya excitedly asked, "You know Hao Chunming? Why didn't you tell me earlier? What's your relationship with him?"

"It's nothing. I just helped him with a small favor. We're not very close," Qin Fei replied with a smile.

Zhao Ya let out an "oh" and smiled brightly. "You're so humble. If you weren't close, how could he help us with such a big favor? I really didn't see through you!"

Qin Fei could only laugh bitterly. Zhao Ya's sudden change of attitude left him unsure of what to say.

"Mom, you can go ahead and do your thing. I need to go out with them for a while," Qin Fei said.

Zhao Ya hurriedly nodded. "Okay, okay, you go do your thing. Remember to come home for dinner tonight. I'll have your dad cook a nice meal for you!"

"Sure," Qin Fei nodded helplessly.

"Where are we going now?" After getting in the car with Hao Chunming, Qin Fei couldn't help but ask.

Hao Chunming laughed heartily. "There's a Traditional Chinese Medicine exhibition on East Tienshun Street today. A lot of herbal medicine vendors are coming from the countryside."

At this point, Hao Chunming paused, his face turning slightly red. "Well, there's something wrong with my body, and I thought I could get some Chinese herbs from this exhibition to treat it. To be honest, I've secretly tried a lot of folk remedies."

Seeing his shy look, Qin Fei couldn't help but laugh.

The car soon arrived at the exhibition, where numerous small vendors had set up their stalls along the roadside.

"Thousand-year-old ginseng, the true king of herbs, don't miss it!"

"Hundred-year-old Tian Shan snow lotus, prolong your life and keep you youthful, come take a look!"

"Deer antlers, pure natural deer antlers, the ultimate tonic for men, guaranteed to make them strong and silent, and women weep!"

Hearing their flashy calls, Qin Fei couldn't help but shake his head.

He had planned to find some spiritually potent herbs at this exhibition, but everything he saw was farmed, and none of the medicinal properties were even fully developed. There was no spiritual energy to speak of.

"Qin Fei, do you see anything here that's suitable for me?" Hao Chunming asked, rubbing his hands.

Qin Fei shook his head. "These herbs are all artificially farmed. They sacrificed medicinal properties for appearance, they're not worth buying."

"I knew it, nothing's worked for me so far," Hao Chunming said with a smile.

"Qin Fei? You're here too?" At that moment, a voice came from behind.

Qin Fei turned around and saw Shen Hongyi and an elderly man with a white beard standing behind them.

"Master Shen, you're here at the exhibition too," Hao Chunming said, quickly greeting the old man.

The elderly man, called Master Shen, smiled and said, "I heard there are some rare herbs at this exhibition, so I thought I'd come and take a look."

At this point, Master Shen looked at Qin Fei and asked, "Who is this?"

"He's the one who treated Director Song," Shen Hongyi said, a hint of reluctance in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Master Shen's eyes immediately lit up.

He walked over and shook hands with Qin Fei. "You're even younger than I imagined. Truly impressive, the younger generation is formidable!"

Qin Fei hurriedly said, "Master Shen, you flatter me. I just happened to recognize the illness."

"Humph, it's good that you know it was by chance," Shen Hongyi muttered.

Qin Fei smiled and shook his head, not paying much attention.

"Young friend Qin, if you don't mind, would you like to join us?" Master Shen invited.

Before Qin Fei could respond, Hao Chunming quickly agreed, "Of course, we'd love to!"

Since Hao Chunming had already said so, Qin Fei naturally couldn't refuse, and agreed.

"The truly good herbs are up ahead. These are just scraps, not worth looking at," Master Shen said with a smile.

Qin Fei nodded. "Yes, I've looked at them carefully. These herbs are even worse than the medicinal ones available on the market."

"Hehe, I just worry you might not recognize the real medicinal kings," Shen Hongyi sneered.

Master Shen didn't react, clearly interested in seeing Qin Fei's abilities.

Qin Fei smiled. "Master Shen, how about a bet between us?"

"Gladly!" Shen Hongyi was already thinking about it, but because Master Shen was present, he hadn't dared to bring it up. Now that Qin Fei had made the first move, he was happy to take the chance to get back at him in front of Master Shen.

"Go ahead, what's the bet?" Shen Hongyi asked.

Qin Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let's compare herbs, see who picks herbs with more medicinal properties and longer age."

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Shen Hongyi was overjoyed. He had grown up under Master Shen's guidance and had seen countless rare herbs, so he was very confident.

"If I lose, I'll apologize to you in front of everyone, and I'll retire from the Chinese medicine field from now on!" Shen Hongyi said with a light sneer.
