Wang Hao hadn't expected to run into a familiar face in the county town bookstore.
He approached Chen Hongying to greet her and noticed she was engrossed in a book about parent-child harmony.
"Wang Hao?"
Chen Hongying was surprised to encounter Wang Hao in the bookstore as well.
She wondered what the young man was doing in the county town instead of digging for herbs on the mountain.
The last time he sold Lingzhi, Peng Lao gave Wang Hao his business card right in front of Chen Hongying—it was clear he wanted to bypass her and deal directly with Wang Hao.
Because of this, Chen Hongying had been unable to let it go.
Now that Wang Hao had come to the county town in person, she began to suspect he might have found something valuable and was here to make a trade without going through her.
"Sister Hongying, I really owe you for finding a buyer last time. I came to the county town just to thank you, but I got held up by some trouble as soon as I arrived."
