All Novel Full Chapter 343
343- Undeniable Attraction (挡不住的诱惑)
Jing Yun Zhao listened and agreed with a smile.
“However, since the things I’ve mortgaged are worth more, won’t the two of you sacrifice a little more?” she remarked.
Everyone was also very excited by this. They had spent the past few days comparing/competing in private, but they still held back, afraid that someone would manage to find out how things stand. Rather than calling it a competition, it was more like a recon, and it was also the first time things were like this, where things were being mortgaged and the atmosphere so fiery.
“What do you want us to mortgage? Jing Yun Zhao, just be direct,” Cousin Cui dropped her facade.
‘If I win, your name will be removed from the entire pharmaceutical industry.” Once Jing Yun Zhao made her intentions known, she made Tong Yan go to her room to fetch for the things she had prepared in advance, “If you think it’s unfair for one loss to be exchanged with two, then I’ll add this on as my betting chip!”
She opened the brocade box.
Once its contents were exposed to the crowd, everyone took a chilling breath.
Inside the brocade box was a Ginseng, long and flawless. WIth just a glance, they could tell it grew in the wild, and had been growing for many many years. Its price was past the range of millions. If it was a stubborn person, they might even spend a few billions just to get it in their hands!
The one that Jing Yun Zhao had taken out now was several levels better than the one she had sold to Old Man Xu back then.
The Medical Fair this time required everyone to show off one or two herbs of their own. The purpose wasn’t about its cost, but about its value and medical efficacy. She only understood this after she had arrived and read the introductory booklet.
Therefore, she originally prepared to give the ginseng to Elder Xu after the event to thank him for his continuous teaching.
As soon as Jing Yun Zhao’s ginseng appeared, everyone’s eyes practically popped out, not to mention Cui Jun and his cousin.
Cui Jun was still alright. Although he knew that Ginseng was a good thing, he wasn’t very knowledgeable on the specifics and couldn’t really accurately identify its value, but it was different for Cousin Cui. Because she knew, she suddenly became jealous and greedy as her heart started beating faster.
Everyone was already feeling a little upset inside. If winning such a competition could get them a ginseng of such quality, they would all be fighting to compete with her!
Unfortunately, there is only one of them. Chances are that it would be taken by Miss Cui, such a pity.
Everyone looked enviously at the Cui family’s pair of cousins. Cousin Cui’s gaze was burning, and she knew she couldn’t refuse.
Even if she had to risk her name in the industry.
Of course, the possibility of losing to Jing Yun Zhao didn’t exist in her mind at all.
Her parents treated her badly and threw her in the Cui family’s care. She knew that she had been relying on their charity since she was a child, so she could only work hard to cater to the Cui family’s love. The silver lining was her talent for Medical herbs; she had a keen sense of smell and a good memory. Only then did the Cui Family place importance on her.
How could someone like her lose to someone without any family background like Jing Yun Zhao?
“If you don’t want to make this bet then forget it, treat it like I’m making a joke,” Jing Yun Zhao suddenly changed her tune once she saw the pair’s expressions, putting away the ginseng as she spoke.
“I’ll do it!” Seeing what she was about to do, Cousin Cui suddenly shouted!
After shouting, her face looked like a cloud of fire. She knew her reaction was too intense, but what could she have done otherwise? If Jing Yunzhao really regretted it, she too would regret it for her entire lifetime.
If she really won over the Ginseng, then she would finally have capital. Its value was enough to get her out of the Cui family.
Jing Yunzhao laughed mockingly: “You weren’t behaving like this just now. So righteously raising funds for me, not asking for anything in return. But turns out…it’s just for that one moment!”
