Urban God-level Youth

The two drove to the Hundred Medicine Pavilion store outside the Jiangshan City herbal medicine wholesale market.

Qin Hao and Kang Youyi walked in, and there weren't many people buying medicinal ingredients in the pharmacy.

Since Hundred Medicine Pavilion mainly dealt in wholesale medicinal ingredients, the profit from retail was not substantial.

Liang Ya and Liang Chengwang were both inside the shop. When they saw Qin Hao and Kang Youyi enter, Liang Chengwang was startled,

but it was Liang Ya who reacted first, smiling and asking, "Mr. Qin, are you here to buy medicinal ingredients again?"

Liang Chengwang also remembered and said with a smile, "Qin, it has been a long time since we've seen each other."

Qin Hao greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Liang, you look even healthier than a few days ago."

"I've acquired some good stuff in the mountains recently," Liang Chengwang said to him with a smile.

Qin Hao said to Kang Youyi, "You go get the medicinal ingredients."

Kang Youyi nodded and walked up to the counter, but he first took out a confidentiality agreement and placed it on the counter.

Liang Ya's expression turned to one of surprise, not quite catching on. What did this mean?

Kang Youyi said with an awkward smile, "This is a confidentiality agreement. Whatever medicinal ingredients we buy from you, you'll need to keep it a secret.

You can't let it leak out. The terms are all in there; take a look. It's what our boss wants."

After speaking, he glanced at Qin Hao, as if to say this wasn't his fault but rather it was his boss's idea.

Hearing this, Liang Chengwang came over, picked up the confidentiality agreement, and started to read it, while Liang Ya looked on from the side.

They had never signed a confidentiality agreement before; this was indeed a first.

After finishing their review, Liang Chengwang looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Is the Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant owned by Qin?"

Qin Hao nodded with a smile, "Mr. Liang, have you heard of it?"

Liang Chengwang replied, "Heard of it? I've even tasted it. A friend brought some over, and the flavor was indeed good.

However, because it was too delicious, I was afraid there might be some chemical components in it, so I didn't eat it again."

Hearing his words, Qin Hao was at a loss for words with frustration. Had anyone ever refused to eat something because it was too tasty?

This was the first time he had heard such a thing.

The root cause was that Jiangshan Roasted Duck wasn't very well known, and its advertising wasn't strong enough. Otherwise, why would Liang Chengwang have such concerns?

If Jiangshan Roasted Duck were a big company with total assets in the tens or hundreds of millions, it would inherently give people a sense of security.

It's like how people buy electric cars, automobiles, or even houses; they look for well-known big companies because they believe it provides them with security.

Kang Youyi, hearing his words, was also somewhat speechless.

Liang Chengwang said with an embarrassed smile, "Qin, is your roasted duck truly made using only natural remedies?"

Qin Hao responded, "I'm still young. If I sold fake products, it would only ruin me. Mr. Liang, do you think I would do such a thing?"

Remembering Qin Hao's medical skills, Liang Chengwang nodded. Given those exceptional medical skills, Jiangshan Roasted Duck must be genuine.

After all, with just his medical skills, he could make plenty of money. Why would he need to sell counterfeit roasted duck?

Qin Hao said, "Mr. Liang, Xiao Ya, if there's no problem, let's sign the business confidentiality agreement. In the future, all the medicinal ingredients for Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant will come from your place."

Liang Chengwang took out a pen and signed his name on it. The agreement was simple: maintain confidentiality, and if Hundred Medicine Pavilion breached the covenant, it would bear the corresponding responsibility.

This time, Qin Hao took fifty pounds of each medicinal ingredient, totaling over four thousand pounds, which would last a long time.

Of course, if the roasted duck business expanded, these might not be enough.

The over four thousand pounds of medicinal ingredients amounted to roughly eighty or ninety thousand yuan. Qin Hao estimated that it would be enough to make over twenty thousand roasted ducks.

That would suffice for more than half a year.

…

Qin Hao: "I'll leave you my contact information and address, just deliver the goods there, and I'll have finance transfer the money to you in a while."

Liang Ya nodded slightly: "Okay."

Qin Hao said to Liang Chengwang: "Mr. Liang, I think you should stop taking those supplements in the future and eat more Jiangshan Roasted Duck instead.

The medicinal effects of the supplements you're taking may be too strong, not as gentle as Jiangshan Roasted Duck."

Liang Chengwang looked at him and said: "Qin, you're not deceiving me, are you?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you, Mr. Liang."

After speaking, Qin Hao continued to ask: "By the way, Mr. Liang, do you have any good items here? I need a gift."

Liang Chengwang said with a smile: "What do you want? Ginseng? Lingzhi? Deer antler? Deer penis? Or something else?"

Qin Hao didn't know what to gift, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The price shouldn't be too expensive, but it also shouldn't be something too shabby."

Because if it was too expensive, it wouldn't match his identity.

Xia Qing didn't know his identity, and if he spent thousands or tens of thousands on something, it would definitely raise suspicion.

But if it was too cheap, he also felt it would be somewhat improper to offer.

Liang Chengwang said with a smile: "That's easy to handle, Xiao Ya bring over that ginseng and the deer antler from the sika deer."

Liang Ya went to the back and brought out two rectangular brocade boxes, placing them on the counter and opening them up.

A fifty-gram ginseng root and a piece of deer antler were laid out before their eyes.

Qin Hao asked: "How much for these?"

Liang Chengwang: "Qin, if it were someone else, it would be at least one thousand yuan, but for you, just the cost price of four hundred yuan will do."

Qin Hao didn't bargain; he felt Liang Chengwang wouldn't cheat him on such a small matter, and he also found the price very reasonable.

He took out four hundred yuan and gave it to Liang Ya, then asked for a gift bag: "Deliver the goods in the afternoon then. If there's nothing else, Mr. Liang, I'll be leaving first."

"Mmm, okay, take care." Liang Chengwang saw them to the door and watched as they left.

By the time Qin Hao returned to the roasted duck restaurant, it was already past eleven o'clock. He said to the plump guy: "I have something on at noon, I'm leaving early."

"Mmm, okay, Hao."

Qin Hao, carrying the two gifts, walked towards the residential area.

Halfway there, he received a call from Xia Qing: "Hello, Qin Hao, where are you?"

Qin Hao: "I'm on my way, almost there."

Xia Qing said with a light laugh: "Mmm, my parents are almost ready, just waiting for you to come."

"I'll be there soon, hanging up now."

After hanging up, it took Qin Hao less than ten minutes to arrive at Building 3, Unit 3, and then he walked up to the third floor.

Standing at the door of 301, Qin Hao's heart inexplicably began to race, suddenly feeling like a son-in-law about to meet his mother-in-law.

He didn't know why he had this thought, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened from the inside, and there stood Xia Qing, smiling, with two charming dimples.

She wore a loose T-shirt that just covered the ultra-short shorts below, revealing her long, straight, and flawless legs.

"You're here?" Xia Qing asked cheerily.

Then she led Qin Hao inside. Upon seeing the items in Qin Hao's hands, she paused: "Why did you buy something?"

Qin Hao tried to appear calm, as this was his first time visiting a friend of the opposite sex at their home. He smiled and said: "It's my first visit, I couldn't come empty-handed, could I?"

Xia Qing smiled gently and quickly called out: "Mom and Dad, my classmate is here."
