The Medicine Market is located in the southern part of Zhonghai City District, divided into two main layouts: scattered stalls and storefronts.

In the scattered stall area, many platforms are built with cement slabs, rented by small vendors.

The variety of medicinal herbs is relatively homogenized.

Mainly supplying small pharmaceutical companies.

Previously, New Moon Company would buy herbs from these small vendors.

The storefronts have large warehouses, and the variety of medicinal herbs is more comprehensive.

Large pharmaceutical companies like Tianhao Group all source their stock from storefronts.

This time, Lin Wanxi came to find Ma Kuiyuan, the biggest storefront owner.

The car stopped to the side, and Lin Wanxi looked slightly nervous.

Having been pushed to a dead end, she had no choice but to come to Ma Kuiyuan.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Wanxi stepped out of the car, holding her handbag as she walked toward the store entrance.

Chen Xuan followed closely behind, his expression indifferent.

With him there, no one could lay a finger on Lin Wanxi.

"Is President Ma busy?" Lin Wanxi walked into the store, smiling as she greeted.

"Oh, isn't this the beautiful Miss Lin? How do you have the time to visit me today?"

Ma Kuiyuan cheerfully got up and walked toward Lin Wanxi.

Chen Xuan observed Ma Kuiyuan, about 1.7 meters tall, slightly chubby.

His belly protruded like he was four months pregnant.

He had a short crew cut, fat face, and ears, with leering eyes.

A thick gold chain hung around his neck, and a square gold ring adorned his hand.

An instant impression of a nouveau riche.

By then, Ma Kuiyuan had already walked up to Lin Wanxi, proactively extending his fat right hand.

Lin Wanxi really didn't want to shake hands with such a person, but she had no choice.

Etiquette called for it, so she extended her hand to the other party.

However, Ma Kuiyuan took the opportunity to grip Lin Wanxi's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Lin Wanxi immediately felt a bit angry but controlled her emotions without losing her temper.

She forcefully withdrew her hand, "President Ma, I'm here to buy some herbs, please grant me this convenience."

"No problem, no problem, Miss Lin has spoken, I must accommodate you."

Ma Kuiyuan cheerfully said, "Let's sit down and talk."

Lin Wanxi deliberately kept her distance from him, while Chen Xuan stood behind Lin Wanxi, his gaze toward Ma Kuiyuan unfriendly.

If this guy dared to take advantage of Lin Wanxi again, he would definitely not be polite.

"President Ma, here's the list of herbs I need, please take a look." Lin Wanxi retrieved a list from her bag and handed it over.

Ma Kuiyuan took it, glanced over briefly, and smacked his lips saying, "What a coincidence, all the herbs on this list have been bought by President Zhang of Tianhao Group."

Lin Wanxi sighed inwardly, Zhang Peng was well prepared, leaving her no room to maneuver.

"President Ma, please see if there's any way around this, I believe you can still procure them."

"You can sell them to me later, I can pay a deposit first, what do you think?"

Lin Wanxi said softly.

Ma Kuiyuan chuckled and said, "This is indeed not a difficult task for me."

"Especially since Miss Lin has spoken up, how can I bear to refuse?"

"That would truly deserve a big thank you to President Ma." Lin Wanxi nodded with a smile, "This is a check for two hundred thousand, consider it a deposit."

Hahaha...

Ma Kuiyuan waved his hand with a laugh, "No hurry, I haven't finished talking."

"President Zhang of Tianhao Group specifically instructed me not to sell the herbs to you."

"If I agree to your request, I would be under tremendous pressure!"

Lin Wanxi's thoughts shifted slightly, showing no change in expression, "I understand this makes it difficult for President Ma, feel free to state your conditions."

"No problem! Miss Lin is straightforward, so I won't hold back either."

Ma Kuiyuan showed a lascivious smile, "I've always been very fond of Miss Lin's beauty. If Miss Lin is willing to grace me with a dinner tonight, and we chat through the night."

"Satisfy me, and I promise to fulfill your wishes! I'll supply the herbs to you first thing, and even give you a fifty percent discount!"

Lin Wanxi's expression changed slightly, "President Ma, you must be joking."

"There's no problem in having dinner, but chatting through the night doesn't seem very relevant, does it?"

Hahaha...

Ma Kuiyuan laughed loudly, "Miss Lin, you're a smart woman, you can't possibly not understand my meaning."

"I'm simply infatuated with Miss Lin's beauty, it's also a form of transaction, isn't it? We both get what we want, isn't it a win-win?"

Lin Wanxi's face turned very unpleasant, "President Ma, please have some decency."

"Some jokes, when taken too far, aren't funny at all."

Ma Kuiyuan sneered, "Miss Lin, do you think I'm joking with you?"

"I'm well aware of your current situation! If you don't agree to my demands, then there's nothing to discuss."

Lin Wanxi controlled her temper, slowly standing up, "Since that's the case, I won't bother President Ma any further, goodbye."

"Hold on!"

Ma Kuiyuan called out to Lin Wanxi, gesturing with his eyes, and four henchmen blocked the store's entrance.

"Having entered my store, Miss Lin wants to leave easily?"

"Ma Kuiyuan, what are you trying to do?" Lin Wanxi glared coldly at him, "In broad daylight, I don't believe you dare act recklessly!"

Ma Kuiyuan remarked disdainfully, "Just close the door! Miss Lin, don't worry, I won't harm you, just fulfilling my small wish."

"I believe you'll feel quite pleased too, hehe."

Lin Wanxi was immediately filled with fury, instinctively stepping back two paces.

Chen Xuan wrapped an arm around Lin Wanxi's slender waist from behind, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
