Chapter 176 Jewelry Tycoon

“Little Fan, are you back?”

Qin Chuchu called him every day, so she naturally knew he was returning to Jiangnan City today.

Ye Bufan said, “I’m home.”

“Little Fan, can you come out for a bit? I need your help.”

Ye Bufan asked, “What’s the matter?”

Qin Chuchu said, “A very important client of mine is ill, and I’d like you to go examine him.”

“No problem.”

Ye Bufan was originally a doctor, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse to treat an illness, especially when it was to help Qin Chuchu.

He greeted Ouyang Lan, then drove away from the restaurant.

At the entrance of Qin's Group, Qin Chuchu got into the pagani. Ye Bufan asked, “Young Miss, where are we going?”

“Yunding Mountain Villa.”

Ye Bufan started the car and, while driving forward, asked, “What kind of important person could it be that requires Young Miss Qin to personally find someone to treat him?”

“You’re right, he really is an important person.” Qin Chuchu said, “Have you heard of Gao Jiajun from Hong Kong?”

Ye Bufan said, “The name sounds familiar, like he’s a big tycoon.”

Qin Chuchu said, “That’s right, he’s one of the top ten tycoons in Hong Kong who has risen in recent years, a famous jewelry magnate in Asia.”

Ye Bufan said, “You mean the person you want me to see is him?”

“Exactly, it’s him.”

Ye Bufan said, “With his financial resources, there should be countless doctors scrambling to treat him. Why did he come to Jiangnan City for medical treatment?”

Qin Chuchu said, “Gao Jiajun’s illness this time is very strange. He has seen famous doctors from all over the world, but there’s been no solution, and they can’t even find the cause of the illness.

Furthermore, Gao Jiajun is originally from Jiangnan City. He has been investing in Jiangnan Province for years and even owns a villa in the Yunding Mountain Villa area in Jiangnan City, returning to stay for a period each year.

Jiangnan is a land of medical practitioners, and he trusts Traditional Chinese Medicine more. Since Western medicine had no solution, he returned to Jiangnan to seek treatment.”

“Oh!” Ye Bufan nodded, “Is your whole family very familiar with Gao Jiajun?”

“Of course not.” Qin Chuchu said, “The Qin Family’s strength in Jiangnan City is decent, but it’s incomparable to Gao Jiajun. He’s a big tycoon from Hong Kong, a jewelry magnate renowned across Asia.”

Ye Bufan asked suspiciously, “Since you’re not familiar, why did you think of bringing me to treat him?”

Qin Chuchu sighed and said, “Grandpa has great ambitions; he’s determined to strengthen Qin's Group.

After learning the news of Gao Jiajun’s return to Jiangnan City, he gave my cousin Qin Guowei and me a test: whoever can secure cooperation with Gao Jiajun to open Qin's Jewelry in Hong Kong will be the new president of the Qin Family.”

Ye Bufan said, “So you want to get closer to him by treating Gao Jiajun’s illness?”

Qin Chuchu said, “It’s not just me; my cousin thought the same, and he acted even faster than I did.

Jiangnan City originally had three great medical masters: Cao Xinghua, the old gentleman from Baicao Hall, Lu Huaian, the old gentleman from Xinglin Academy, and Lin Pingtao, the old gentleman from Huichun Pavilion.

Now Cao is in seclusion and won’t see anyone except you. Lu Huaian has passed away, leaving only Lin Pingtao, who my cousin preemptively invited yesterday evening. He’ll probably also go to treat Gao Jiajun today.”

Ye Bufan smiled, “It seems you had no choice but to come to me.”

Qin Chuchu said, “Who told you not to be home? But I know your Medical skill is better than all three of them.”

Ye Bufan said, “Don’t worry, any illness they can cure, I can certainly cure. If I can’t cure an illness, then no one can.”

As they spoke, they drove to Yunding Mountain Villa. Following Qin Chuchu’s directions, they pulled up in front of a villa near the top of the mountain.

Ye Bufan was surprised to find that this villa was not far from his own Villa No. 1; it was Yunding Mountain’s No. 2. It turned out the two families were neighbors.

It also showed Gao Jiajun’s influence in Jiangnan City. Knowing that No. 1 was a villa reserved by the He Family for their own use, being able to buy No. 2 was definitely a symbol of status and position.

The two parked the car in the parking space and then walked towards the entrance. Qin Chuchu said to the bodyguard at the door, “I am Qin Chuchu from Qin's Group. I would like to see Mr. Gao.”

“Please wait a moment.”

After the bodyguard reported inside, he allowed Qin Chuchu and Ye Bufan to enter.

As the two entered the villa’s main hall, a woman in her thirties greeted them.

Although she was a bit older, she was indeed very beautiful. It was estimated that her looks in her youth would not have been inferior to Qin Chuchu’s, but her chin was held high, and her face showed an expression of arrogance.

This woman was Gao Jiajun’s wife, Qiao Lina. Seeing her, Qin Chuchu stepped forward and said, “Hello, Mrs. Gao!”

“Hello, Miss Qin.”

Qiao Lina said this, but her expression remained extremely arrogant, and her arms were crossed, showing no intention of shaking hands with Qin Chuchu.

From her expression and

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

tone, it was clear that this woman had an inherent sense of superiority, looking down on Qin Chuchu and Ye Bufan.

Qin Chuchu was there to seek cooperation, so she naturally didn’t mind Qiao Lina’s attitude. She said, “Mrs. Gao, I heard that Mr. Gao is ill, so I specially invited Dr. Ye to examine Mr. Gao.”

Qiao Lina’s expression softened somewhat then, and she said, “Miss Qin, you’re very thoughtful. Please come in with me.”

With that, she led the way, bringing Ye Bufan and Qin Chuchu into an adjacent room.

Upon entering, Ye Bufan saw that it was a small reception room, filled with famous paintings and calligraphy, and various antique porcelain pieces. Each item appeared to be quite valuable.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a Middle-aged Man in his fifties. Although he was seated, it was evident that he was very tall; if he stood up, he would be at least 1.9 meters tall.

He was Gao Jiajun, the famous jewelry magnate from Hong Kong. At this moment, he was frowning, his face somewhat pale, and one hand was continuously rubbing his abdomen.

On either side of the Middle-aged Man, seven or eight bodyguards and assistants carefully attended to him.

Qiao Lina walked up to Gao Jiajun and said, “Dear, Miss Qin is here. She said she invited a doctor to examine you.”

Gao Jiajun raised his head and looked at Qin Chuchu, automatically ignoring Ye Bufan next to her, assuming he was a bodyguard or driver who had followed along.

“Miss Qin, you’ve gone to great lengths.”

Qiao Lina said, “Miss Qin, where is the doctor you invited? When will he arrive?”

Qin Chuchu quickly introduced Ye Bufan to the two: “Mr. Gao, Mrs. Gao, this is Dr. Ye Bufan.”

Upon hearing that this Young man in front of them was the doctor who came to examine Gao Jiajun, Qiao Lina’s face immediately fell. She said unhappily, “Miss Qin, are you joking? Can such a Young man really cure illnesses?”

Compared to Qiao Lina, Gao Jiajun was a bit more amiable, but he also said, “Miss Qin, perhaps you didn’t make it clear. I came to Jiangnan City for Traditional Chinese Medicine; Western medicine is out of the question.”

Qin Chuchu said with a slight embarrassment, “Mr. Gao, Dr. Ye is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.”

At this, even Gao Jiajun’s face darkened: “Miss Qin, are you making fun of me?”

It was no wonder he was displeased. If Ye Bufan were a Western medicine doctor, it might barely be acceptable, but if he were a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, he was truly too young.

In his opinion, bringing such a Young Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to treat him was clearly a sign of disrespect.
