Chapter 89: Treatment for frequent and urgent urination +2, Treatment for weakness in the lower back and knees +2!
A beautiful woman, with a figure to match, stripped down to that extent and still unable to attract a man—Cai Yao did not even know whether she ought to be relieved that nothing happened, or annoyed that nothing happened.
After reading her best friend’s message, she replied with a single word:
“Get lost.”
Then she remembered the most embarrassing thing of all: she had actually done something so shameful right in front of President Chu, and he had even recorded it on video.
In other words, if President Chu wanted to watch it, he could watch it whenever he pleased?
What she ought to do now seemed to be asking him to delete the video.
But wouldn’t that only make things more awkward?
For no apparent reason, Cai Yao chose to pretend she knew nothing about it.
Any embarrassing matter, so long as one pretended not to know, would no longer be embarrassing.
Besides, President Chu was a gentleman; surely he would not go on watching that shameful video, would he?
At the farm, after Chu Lin sent Cai Yao the video, he also “accidentally” tapped play. One had to admit, this young lady truly had the goods.
He even compared with his hand, guessing at the exact size.
Either way, it was abundantly endowed.
After washing up and heading out, Chu Lin went to the farm and, with a single thought, entered the Atlantis map.
Aside from today’s refreshed fresh shrimp, oysters, and blue-ringed jellyfish, he indeed saw two strange fish bones.
He stepped forward and picked one up.
When he saw the note attached to it, surprise appeared on his face.
[Special Atlantis Whale Bone: Quality 2]
[This is the bone left behind by a special whale from Atlantis, located in the spine. Crack the bone open, and the marrow inside makes excellent liquor for infusing:
Special effects after infusing: cures frequent urination and urgency +2, cures weak lower back and knees +2, taste +1, special fragrance +1!
Restriction: One bone can be infused in proportion with fifty jin of white liquor; it will be ready in one week.]
Chu Lin had assumed these were just two fish bones of no use whatsoever, but at the sight of this, he was astonished.
Who would have thought they were another Quality 2 item?
And whale bones could even be used to infuse liquor like this?
He had little schooling; he truly did not know.
Still, since it was a special Atlantis whale, it made sense enough.
Most importantly, after infusion it still carried two Quality 2 attributes.
Curing frequent urination and urgency +2, curing weak lower back and knees +2—wasn’t this medicinal liquor?
Though it was useless to a young man like him, full of vigor and vitality, for men past middle age it was absolutely a priceless treasure.
After all, once people reached middle age, these two ailments more often than not appeared; such liquor would likely have them begging on their knees.
Especially those prominent figures who suffered from such troubles—no matter the price, they would fight to buy it.
And the key was that it also had taste +1 and special fragrance +1.
They always said that the pleasure of drinking lay in its taste and aroma; the older the liquor, the smoother its taste and the richer its fragrance.
With just those two attributes, ordinary liquor could be turned into exceptionally fine wine.
After leaving the game, Chu Lin went straight out of the farm and headed to the city’s tobacco and liquor market, where he bought a wholesale batch of one hundred jin of white liquor at fifty-five degrees.
Generally speaking, bone liquor required alcohol above fifty degrees.
And he had not chosen the cheapest option either; he went with white liquor costing three hundred yuan per jin. After all, if these special Atlantis whale bones could brew such high-quality liquor, how could he use something costing ten yuan a jin?
That would be far too shabby.
Those hundred jin of liquor cost him thirty thousand yuan.
Chu Lin returned to the farm, and not long after, the liquor delivery arrived as well.
After signing for it, he had Liu Fa help him carry the hundred jin of white liquor into an empty room in the prefabricated building. He then went to Darunfa Supermarket in Pingjiang District specifically to buy two sixty-jin special infusion containers.
These containers could be sealed and fitted with a tap for drawing off the liquor.
Just like the ones used to soak the alien in the movie Crazy Alien.
After that, Chu Lin brought the two special Atlantis whale bones out of the game, rinsed and disinfected them, and waited two hours before carefully using a tool to crack the two bones into a network of fine fissures.
It had to be said that there was quite a lot of marrow in those bones; even the tiniest crack caused marrow to ooze out.
He hurriedly placed the two bones into the two containers respectively, then poured the hundred jin of white liquor he had bought into each container.
All that remained was to wait one week, and the special bone liquor would be ready.
After finishing this, Chu Lin received a call from Huang Bin.
“Chu Lin, our chairman has already arranged a time. This afternoon at Erbai Construction Group, among those few members of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, there is one Mr. Wu, who happens to be the boss of Erbai Construction. We’re just waiting for your reply. Our chairman was cheated once before, so he’s a bit nervous now.”
“All right, I’ll be there this afternoon,” Chu Lin replied with a smile.
He had heard of Erbai Construction Group; it dealt in real estate and had a great reputation in Min City.
So in the afternoon, he contacted Huang Bin once more, then took a bag and left the farm with those three jin of Atlantis ambergris, heading for Erbai Construction Group.
Erbai Construction Group was located in the central area of Lougu District.
Huang Bin and Wang Yang had already arrived at the underground parking lot of Erbai Construction.
Wang Yang kept checking the time, his face full of anxiety. After being tricked by Zhao Sheng once before, he was truly afraid. If he were cheated again, he would be humiliated beyond recovery, and he might as well give up any fantasies of joining the Fujian Chamber of Commerce.
He would not even have the face for it.
If not for the fear that his meddling would cause some new fiasco, he would have preferred to contact Mr. Chu himself; but he knew nothing at all about Mr. Chu’s background, personality, or temperament.
Huang Bin smiled and reassured him, “Chairman, don’t worry. Mr. Chu will be here soon.”
Wang Yang nodded. “Manager Huang, if this business goes smoothly, then the commission on this deal will not be taken by the company. Consider it your bonus.”
“Thank you, Chairman.” Huang Bin’s smile widened even further.
If the company did not take its cut, then on a deal of more than seven million yuan, a three percent commission would be more than two hundred ten thousand.
Naturally, this commission was being paid by the Fujian Chamber of Commerce members; they were the ones who needed it, and Chu Lin was now the one being needed.
At last, when they saw Chu Lin’s Panamera, Huang Bin immediately said, “Chairman, Mr. Chu has arrived.”
Wang Yang and Huang Bin hurried forward.
Huang Bin introduced him perfunctorily: “Chairman, this is Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu, this is our Bafang Guest Chairman, Wang Yang.”
“Mr. Chu, a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you!” Wang Yang was extremely surprised to see how young Chu Lin was.
Perhaps that was why Huang Bin had managed to close the deal—young people had things in common, and thus something to talk about.
But that was not important. Seeing Chu Lin carrying the first bag, he finally let out a slight breath of relief. So long as the thing had been brought, that was enough.
“Chairman Wang, let’s see the clients first,” Chu Lin said, not wanting to waste too much time with this Bafang Guest chairman.
“Very well, I’ll contact Mr. Wu right away.” Wang Yang immediately took out his phone and placed a call.
A moment later, a woman with a graceful figure and dressed in a business suit came downstairs. “The three of you, our Mr. Wu asked me to come down and receive you.”
“Thank you for the trouble,” Wang Yang said politely at once.
The group was led into the elevator, taken up to the office floor of Erbai Construction, and directly brought to the chairman’s office.
Inside, four middle-aged men were already gathered, drinking tea.
“Mr. Wu, Mr. Li, Mr. Hu, Mr. Lu, I truly am very sorry about yesterday. Today, at last, I have made up for it,” Wang Yang said apologetically the moment he entered.
Mr. Wu looked at him and said, “Mr. Wang, don’t let us get our hopes up for nothing again today.”
“It won’t happen, it won’t happen!” Wang Yang said, immediately introducing Chu Lin. “Gentlemen, this Mr. Chu is the owner of the finest white dragon fragrance. He has brought it with him today. Mr. Chu.”
At this, all four men turned to look at Chu Lin, surprise written across their faces, for he was far too young.
By appearance alone, he looked barely in his early twenties.
Still, none of them underestimated him. To be able to produce three jin of the finest white dragon fragrance at this age was proof enough of ability.
Had they not seen it? Their original supply of the finest white dragon fragrance had been cut off, and now they could not buy any even if they wanted to.
“Mr. Chu, please sit,” Mr. Wu said, inviting him at once. Once Chu Lin was seated, he hurriedly asked, “Mr. Chu, might we take a look at your white dragon fragrance?”
“Of course.” Chu Lin nodded and opened the bag in his hand, revealing the pieces of Atlantis ambergris inside.
The eyes of the four men instantly lit up at the sight of the white dragon fragrance. It really was white dragon fragrance; the only question was whether it reached the level of the finest.
“Mr. Chu, might we try this incense?” Mr. Wu asked, his voice filled with anticipation and urgency.
“Certainly.” Chu Lin also took out a packet of incense powder he had already ground and handed it to Mr. Wu. “Mr. Wu may give it a try.”
Mr. Wu took the packet of ambergris and paused, because the grinding was extremely rough, almost careless.
This...
For a man who loved incense as he did, such rough workmanship was truly painful to behold.
Still, he knew they were here to test the fragrance, and at such a moment he could not be bothered with whether the ambergris had been ground finely or not. He immediately took an incense burner, poured the ambergris into it, fiddled with it for a while, and finally lit it.
When wisps of smoke, carrying an enticing fragrance, rose from the burner, he visibly showed surprise.
How fragrant!
It was actually even more pleasant than the finest white dragon fragrance they had used before.
