Rakish Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 217 I won’t let him get away with it.

Seeing Chu Mingyue so angry, Zheng Tianhua panicked instantly.

Now that the old master of the Chu Family had plans to retire behind the scenes and his son and daughter-in-law were not involved in the Chinese medicine industry, he was ready to hand over power to Chu Mingyue, so indeed, Chu Mingyue had the full right to kick him out.

"Miss Chu, it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, listen to me explain..."

Zheng Tianhua’s face was as pale as paper, and he spoke in an extremely humble tone, "I swear, this is the first time I’ve sold fake medicinal materials. Please give me one more chance, I’ll never dare to do it again. I have elderly to care for and children to raise, if I lose my job, what will my family do?"

"Heh, you say it’s your first time and that’s supposed to be true?"

Although Chu Mingyue was young, she was not foolish. Since Zheng Tianhua had done such a thing as selling fake drugs, keeping him would naturally be a disaster. She said coldly, "Now, get out. From this moment on, you are fired."

Seeing Chu Mingyue so decisive, Li Qianfan nodded silently to himself, thinking that such measures would allow Ruyi Hall to go further.

"No, please... Miss Chu, give me another chance, I really won’t dare to do it again."

Zheng Tianhua was in a complete panic, continuing to beg desperately, and he was about to kneel to Chu Mingyue.

Over the years, thanks to his job, he had made no small amount of illicit gains. How could he find such a good job elsewhere if he were fired?

"Won’t leave, is it? Then I’ll call the police right now, and just so happen to check whether you’ve been selling fake medicinal materials over these years!"

No sooner had she spoken than Chu Mingyue immediately took out her phone to call the police.

"No, don’t call the police, can’t I just leave?" Seeing Chu Mingyue was about to call the police, Zheng Tianhua panicked even more. Over the years, he had colluded with Wang Wu and Li Wei to profit from fake medicinal materials. If an investigation was launched, he feared he might end up sitting in prison for a long time.

Even losing his job, he did not want to end up in jail.

"Out!"

Chu Mingyue’s voice was fierce and resolute.

Soon, Zheng Tianhua, Wang Wu, and Li Wei left the medicinal herb shop with their tails between their legs.

"Brother Hua, what do we do now? It’s bad enough that we were beaten up, but now you’ve been fired. How are we going to make money in the future?"

Wang Wu rubbed his sore abdomen, speaking with a face full of anger.

Li Wei was equally furious and said, "Brother Hua, to cut off one’s livelihood is akin to killing one’s parents. We must get our revenge. We have to make that blind bastard Li Qianfan pay."

"Don’t worry, I won’t let him get off easily."

Zheng Tianhua’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze filled with a hint of murderous intent. "Over these years, I’ve made quite a few friends in South Gate of Taoyuan County and even know many people from the Four Seas Martial Pavilion. I’ll contact a few members of the Four Seas Martial Pavilion now and give that blind bastard a good lesson."

Four Seas Martial Pavilion!

Instantly, Wang Wu and Li Wei’s eyes glinted with gold, and their faces couldn’t conceal the surge of excitement.

"The kid’s good in a fight, sure, but he’s nothing compared to the members of the Four Seas Martial Pavilion, just a little chick."

"Exactly, any member of the Four Seas Martial Pavilion could beat Li Qianfan into a dead dog."

Amidst their excited voices, Zheng Tianhua took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

...

After Zheng Tianhua left, Chu Mingyue looked at Li Qianfan with a face full of remorse. She said, "Qianfan, I’m truly sorry. I’m usually at Ruyi Hall, and Zheng Tianhua runs this place. I had no idea he would do such a thing, nearly causing you to buy fake medicinal herbs."

"I understand, after all, the boss can’t always keep track of every employee’s actions. Just pay a bit more attention to this sort of thing in the future. If someone really gets cheated and complains to the Market Supervision Bureau, it could bring a lot of trouble to Ruyi Hall."

Li Qianfan didn’t take the incident to heart, since he hadn’t suffered any loss after all.

Although Li Qianfan didn’t seem to care, Chu Mingyue still felt guilty. She glanced at the fake medicinal herbs on the coffee table and asked, "Qianfan, are these the herbs you need?"

Li Qianfan answered, "Yes, these are all the herbs I need."

Chu Mingyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "In that case, to compensate for the trouble caused, I’ll give you a set of these herbs for free."

"No, no, no——"

Li Qianfan immediately waved his hand to refuse, saying, "Mingyue, the herbs together are worth at least six or seven hundred thousand. It’s really too valuable."

"It’s alright, the market price is six or seven hundred thousand, but we have our channels, so it doesn’t cost that much." Chu Mingyue was very sincere as she continued, "Moreover, if it weren’t for you, we still wouldn’t know when we would have found out about Zheng Tianhua selling fake herbs. Consider it a token of appreciation from the Chu family."

"In that case, thanks old classmate. I’ll treat you to lunch."

Seeing Chu Mingyue’s resolute attitude, Li Qianfan didn’t insist. Although six or seven hundred thousand was a lot to the average person, it was just a drop in the bucket for the Chu family.

"Sure, I feel like eating hot pot." Chu Mingyue didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately said so.

"Shall we head out now?" Li Qianfan asked.

"Wait a minute, I need to report this to my grandfather first. Now that Zheng Tianhua has been dismissed, the store is short a manager. We need to arrange for a replacement quickly."

Chu Mingyue promptly picked up the phone and called her grandfather.

When the elder Chu heard about the incident, he was very angry. He had had a lot of trust in Zheng Tianhua’s character, which is why he had given him significant authority to manage the medicinal herb store. He hadn’t expected him to commit such a disgusting act.

Luckily it was discovered in time, or they would have faced irreversible consequences.

So when he heard that Chu Mingyue was giving Li Qianfan herbs worth six or seven hundred thousand, elder Chu had no objections and even proactively asked if Li Qianfan needed any more herbs. Seeing the fake herbs on the coffee table, Chu Mingyue told her grandfather all their names.

"By the way, Mingyue, I’m still missing three kinds of herbs."

Li Qianfan suddenly remembered he needed twenty types of herbs, but there were only seventeen on the coffee table.

Seeing Chu Mingyue’s puzzled look, Li Qianfan immediately told her the names of the three herbs, which she passed on to her grandfather.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Mingyue’s expression turned serious. She said, "Grandfather just told me to warn you to be careful with Zheng Tianhua. The man is narrow-minded, and since he was dismissed because of you, he will definitely seek ways to get revenge."

"Alright, I’ll be careful." Li Qianfan was nonchalant. He simply didn’t take Zheng Tianhua seriously. When he had first come to Taoyuan County, he had dared to beat up Wu Lang’s subordinates; a mere Zheng Tianhua was even less of a concern.

If the man dared to seek revenge, Li Qianfan wouldn’t mind teaching Zheng Tianhua a harsh lesson.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Mingyue drove Li Qianfan to a hot pot restaurant in the county center. Due to the hot weather, there weren’t many people in the restaurant.

While the two were dining, Zheng Tianhua and two others quietly appeared at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant. He looked up at the sign before taking out his phone to make a call: "Hey, Zhang Di, the guy who got me fired is eating at Spicy Chili Pepper Hot Pot. Bring some people over quick."
