Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 697 Taotie Restaurant

In Shanghai, Lin Momo was still at work. She was sitting on the sofa in the office and had a slight frown on her face. Recently, she had been worried about the events happening in the capital.

Lin’s Jewelry and Tangmen Pharmaceutical Company were located in Shanghai. They had spent money on all aspects and their capital chain was broken.

Although the impact was not too serious and the company could still maintain its operations, it had hindered her work and she could not rush to the capital within such a short period of time.

Although she had just called Qin Haodong, she did not have much hope. After all, she needed quite a large amount of money.

At this moment, the phone gave out a “ding” sound. She grabbed the phone and glanced at it casually. When she read the contents clearly, she suddenly sat up with an incredulous look on her face.

In such a short period of time, one billion yuan had been transferred into her account and the source of it was from the capital.

Where did he get one billion yuan in such a short time?

She quickly dialed Qin Haodong’s cell phone again.

“Haodong, I suddenly received one billion yuan in my account. What’s going on?”

“I asked someone to transfer it,” Qin Haodong said, “I’m at the auction house in the capital. It’s just the first payment. There will be more money going to your account later.”

“How many pills did you sell?”

“Nine pills, I just sold nine pills.”

“What? You earned so much money with only nine pills?”

Lin Momo was shocked. The profit margin was so high. If selling medicine could make so much money, what was the point of running a company? A casual sale of a batch of pills could land tens of billions of yuan into the account.

“Why are you surprised? My pills are worth those prices.”

Qin Haodong’s pills were all made from 5,000-year-old herbs. They were extremely precious.

If it wasn’t for the presence of the Alien Demon, he would not be willing to sell these pills in order to help the Seven Great Families, no matter how much money they could fetch. After all, there were only very few of the 5,000-year-old medicinal herbs. They were absolutely non-renewable resources.

After he hung up, the action at the auction house was starting to get lively. The news had spread and the masters of the Seven Great Families in the capital could not keep still. Pills that could improve cultivation were too precious for any family. After receiving the news, they immediately brought their people to the auction house.

Seeing the huge lineup of the Seven Great Families, those small families and rogue cultivators felt desperate. Originally, when they heard that ten pills were up for sale this time, they still held a glimmer of hope of getting one. But now, it was virtually impossible.

Hua Mingrui said, “Haodong, I don’t think the way you’re doing the auction it is right.”

Qin Haodong asked, “What’s wrong?”

Hua Mingrui said, “As the saying goes, rare things are expensive. You have taken out too many pills at one time. You should sell them separately. You should only take out one or two pills a day, so that you can sell them at a higher price.”

“If you take out more than 30 at one time, I’m afraid that the price will not be much higher than the price just now.”

“I didn’t expect the Tea Fairy to be so business minded.” Qin Haodong looked at Hua Mingrui and smiled. “It’s enough. There’s no need to sell them at a higher price.”

Of course, he knew that rare things were expensive, but he just wanted to make money. In addition, he had to help the Seven Great Families, so he would not do it the way that Hua Mingrui had suggested.

If it were not for the fact that there were not many pills left in the first batch and he needed to meet the Tang Sect’s needs first, he would have taken out more to sell.

Because of the huge impact of his pills, most of the other items in the auction were sold off hastily. When all the people from the Seven Great Families were present, the auction of pills began.

As expected, although Qin Haodong took out 10 Big Strengthening Pills, 10 Energy-gathering Pills and 10 Spirit Culturing Pills at one time, the auction price was only a little higher than before, barely reaching 1.5 billion yuan.

With so many pills available, people would naturally offer a lower price.

At this time, when the last Saint Pill was auctioned, the auctioneer said on the stage, “This is a magical pill. It is called the Saint Pill, which can help a level nine supreme power master to break through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm and the rate of success is 50 percent.”

“The starting price is 500 million yuan and each bid must not be less than 10 million yuan. This rare opportunity must not be missed. Now, please start your bidding!”

Qin Haodong sat in the private room and watched. According to his plan, this Saint Pill would definitely be sold at a sky-high price. After all, there were very few pills that could help a level nine supreme power master to break through the bottleneck.

Unexpectedly, after the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, even after a long while, there was silence in the venue and no one made any bids.

After an initial period of shock, he immediately understood. It seemed that these people did not believe in the Saint Pill. There were only two level nine supreme power masters in each family and they were not at the same level as the other supreme power masters.

If something really happened and their strength was affected, the family would immediately become the last of the Seven Great Families.

Qin Haodong was right. The masters of the Seven Great Families did have such concerns. After all, for so many years, none of the masters in Seven Great Families in the capital had ever broken through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm.

No one had ever seen the Saint Pill before. If it could help in the breakthrough after taking it, it would be great. But what if it had a bad effect on one’s cultivation? It would be disastrous for any family to lose a supreme power master of ninth level.

The room remained silent for a long time. At this moment, Qin Zhan’ao raised the number plate in his hand. “I’ll pay 500 million yuan.”

After his bid, the others immediately looked at him. The other six families were whispering among themselves. Everyone was very curious about the effect of this pill. Since the Qin family was willing to take this risk, let them try it.

Because everyone had the same idea, no one else bid after Qin Zhan’ao put in his bid. In the end, this Saint Pill was sold to the Qin family at the starting price.

Qin Haodong shook his head slightly. Being ignorant was a terrible price to pay. They missed such a great chance to buy such a precious pill.

No matter what, he had received two billion yuan and the purpose of his need to raise funds had been achieved.

At the end of the auction, Wu Mufeng ran into the private room. his face filled with great joy. He looked at Qin Haodong as if he was the God of Fortune, with great respect.

His pills were sold for three billion yuan in a night. The auction mart had taken 500 million yuan as the percentage. With such a high profit, the bonus was enough to make him feel as if he was in a dream.

“Mr. Qin, we can offer you cash or we can transfer the money to your account.”

Qin Haodong took out a bank card and handed it to him, saying, “Please transfer one billion yuan to the previous account and then transfer another 500 million yuan to this card.”

“Okay, Mr. Qin. I’ll do it for you.”

Wu Mufeng was highly efficient. Within minutes, he had completed the transfer.

Qin Haodong and the other two walked out of the store. Wei Yanran looked at him with even more admiration in her eyes.

“Haodong, should we go now?”

From the beginning to the present, she had always wanted to elope with the man in front of her. Looking at the intimacy between her best friend and Qin Haodong, Hua Mingrui felt an inexplicable pang of envy in her heart.

Although she tried her best to restrain this feeling, she could not control it at all.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Don’t hurry. Miss Mingrui has given me so much help. I have to treat her to dinner.”

He felt that it was too impolite to call her Miss Hua, so he called her Miss Mingrui.

Hua Mingrui said, “Haodong, you can just call me Mingrui. Besides, it’s not a big deal for me to help you tonight. We’re friends, so you don’t have to be so polite.”

“You’ve helped me so much, so it’s only right for us to have a meal. Tell me, where is the best restaurant?”

It was already midnight and Wei Yanran did not have dinner yet. She felt a bit hungry. She said, “Let’s go to the Taotie Restaurant. The food there is very good.”

“Well, let’s go there for our meal.”

When he heard the name of the restaurant, Qin Haodong’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t this the restaurant that Han Wuji was going to use as a dowry for Han Jieyu today?

Hua Mingrui did not want to be separated from Qin Haodong so soon, so she had no objection. They got in his car again and drove to the Taotie Restaurant.

After they arrived at the restaurant, they asked for a private room. After entering the room, Qin Haodong took off the hat on his head and also the sunglasses on his face. Wearing those items made him very uncomfortable.

Wei Yanran felt the same. She took off her hat and sunglasses and revealed her original appearance.

They called for the waiter and ordered a few special dishes and a bottle of red wine.

After the waiter took their orders, he turned and walked out of the private room. Just as he opened the door, a young woman in her twenties passed by.

The woman inadvertently glanced into the room. When she saw Wei Yanran, she immediately stopped, pushed open the door and walked into the room.

“Yanran, I didn’t expect to meet you here. What a surprise!”

As the woman spoke, she came to Wei Yanran’s side. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

“Han Meilin, you’re also having your dinner here.”

Wei Yanran was obviously a little surprised to see this woman. She looked a little nervous and her manner was a little stilted.

Hua Mingrui was sitting beside Qin Haodong. She was very familiar with Wei Yanran and knew the woman in front of her. She whispered in Qin Haodong’s ear, “This woman is from the Han family. Although she is also a direct descendant, she is not favored.”

She and Yanran were classmates, but their relationship was not as good as it seemed. This woman was jealous of Yanran’s appearance, talent and her status in the Wei family and the title she had as one of the three beauties in the capital.

“Every time we meet, she tries her best to mock Yanran, as if this is the only way she can satisfy her vanity.”

Qin Haodong nodded slightly. He had seen too many people like this. They were not as good, but they would try their best to belittle others.

At this time, Han Meilin said to Wei Yanran with a fake smile, “Yanran, I just heard that your family has arranged a good marriage for you. As an old classmate, I really want to congratulate you!”

She said those words of congratulations, but her face was full of sarcasm and schadenfreude.

Thinking of the marriage, Wei Yanran’s face quickly became cold.

“Han Meilin, what do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything. Didn’t I just congratulate you?” After seeing Wei Yanran’s reaction, Han Meilin seemed very happy and said with a smile, “I heard that that person already has a girlfriend. As the eldest daughter of the Wei family, you will only be a concubine after getting married.

“Even so, he doesn’t seem to be willing to commit. Until now, he hasn’t given a definite answer. Your life is so pitiful. Yanran, do you think I should be happy for you or sorry for you since we have been classmates for so many years?”

Speaking of this, she sighed and said sarcastically, “It’s not good for women to be too outstanding. They can’t control their own fates. Maybe their marriages are all arranged by the family.”

“You…”

Wei Yanran was trembling with anger. Although she was talented, it was obvious that she was no match for this mean woman when it came to a battle of words.

At this moment, a cold voice said, “You’re right. Only outstanding and beautiful women can get married through arranged marriages. An ugly woman like you does not have such qualifications.”
