Although Su Yixue was exhausted by the torments of the night, she woke up very early the next day as soon as the dawn broke!
She had intended to get out of bed quietly, but as soon as she moved, Ye Fan opened his eyes and stared at her, making Su Yixue feel somewhat embarrassed.
“Xiao Fan, are you awake? I have important business to attend to at the company today. Is it okay for you to stay home and play by yourself?” Su Yixue really wanted to accompany Ye Fan, but the affairs of the company were too pressing. Now that they had the Snow Beauty Cream provided by Lei Qianjue and the channel support of the Xia Family, Su Corporation was facing a great opportunity for development.

“Yixue, wife, I want to be with you! What are you going to be busy with?” Ye Fan’s current plan was to first help Su Corporation grow before anything else, and he would do his utmost to assist with any trouble the company faced.
While dressing, Su Yixue let out a long sigh.
“Sigh! Hasn’t Su Corporation already announced the miraculous effects of the Snow Beauty Cream and received so many orders? But there’s still a problem—before we can officially start producing the ointment, we need to acquire a production license from the Medical Association… However, Yu Qiang, the president of the Southwest Medical Association, doesn’t give face to anyone, not even Divine Doctor Lei’s intervention worked…”
“The only thing he likes are antiques and calligraphy. I’m planning to go to Antique Street to buy a couple of calligraphic works and then visit Yu Qiang to see if we can expedite the production license for Su Corporation!”
“These production license slots are in high demand. For the entire Southwestern Region, there’s said to be only one slot this year! And our rival, the Jin Family, is also actively vying for this slot! If they snatch it away, it will be a big trouble for Su Corporation. With so many orders that can’t be delivered on time, just the penalties for breach of contract would be a considerable sum!”
Regardless of whether Ye Fan could understand or not, Su Yixue explained the whole situation to him.
The president of the Southwest Medical Association, Yu Qiang?
Upon hearing this name, Ye Fan felt it was somewhat familiar. After quickly racking his brains, he immediately remembered that Yu Qiang’s name was on the list of core members of Tianji Pavilion within the dragon-patterned ring.
On the surface, Yu Qiang was the president of the Southwest Medical Association, but in reality, he was the person in charge of the Assassins’ Hall of Tianji Pavilion, with formidable strength!
According to the information in the dragon-patterned ring, Tianji Pavilion had been in a state of semi-dormancy ever since the Old Pavilion Master’s incident.
For the sake of Su Corporation, Ye Fan had previously informed Pang Hai.
So, by taking advantage of this opportunity to deliver antique paintings, he could also tap into Yu Qiang.
After all, Ye Fan now needed more allies to fight against those who had harmed the Ye Family.
“I want to come with you. I love those antiques and calligraphy… Yixue, wife, I have a good eye for these things. Can I come with you, please?”
Ever since Ye Fan activated the dragon-patterned ring, his eyes underwent some peculiar changes.
He acquired a function similar to the Devil’s Pupil. Although claiming it could see through things might be an exaggeration, when Ye Fan circulated his Qi Force around his eyes, he could see things that others couldn’t.
Last time he visited Cloud City’s underground trade market with Wang Fugui, it was by using his eyes’ special ability that he discovered the Vitality Pill wrapped inside a rock.
“Alright! Since you want to come along, I’ll take you. But you have to behave and not run around, understand?” Su Yixue looked deeply into Ye Fan’s eyes, as Divine Doctor Lei had said, Ye Fan needed more companionship. Visiting places he was familiar with before might help stimulate him to recover his memory more quickly.
One of the places Ye Fan and Wang Fugui used to enjoy visiting was Antique Street.
Perhaps, visiting these places might help Ye Fan recall something and regain some of his memory!
…
Cloud City’s Antique Street is quite renowned throughout Great Xia!
It’s large in scale, and there are plenty of good finds to be had.
Although it was only around nine in the morning, the antique street was already packed with people.
Thousands Treasure Pavilion, this was a standalone nine-story building, decorated resplendently, sticking out from the surrounding architecture.
Su Yixue, leading Ye Fan, headed straight for this place.
Since they were planning to visit Yu Qiang, it was natural to bring him some fine gifts.
However, before entering the building, Ye Fan’s gaze suddenly turned to the side where, in a small antique shop, two middle-aged men were stealthily handling a painting, as if trying to sell it to the owner.
With the perception of someone at the Martial Emperor Level, Ye Fan could clearly sense all movement within a five hundred meter radius.
With just a concentrated look, Ye Fan could feel the ancient aura emanating from that painting.
That ancient painting was a good thing!
“Hello, I’d like to see Manager Wu; I want to buy a couple of nice things from him. Could you pass on the message?” Su Yixue had been acquainted with the manager at Thousands Treasure Pavilion and had contacted Manager Wu prior to arriving.
The receptionist must have also received a notification from the manager, and greeted Su Yixue warmly as she arrived, “President Su, Manager Wu instructed us to take you directly to the private room if you came, please follow me!”
“Okay!”
Su Yixue, gesturing to Ye Fan, was about to follow the receptionist into the private room.
But at that moment, Ye Fan’s keen hearing clearly picked up that the two men in the neighboring shop were actually planning to sell the painting for a mere thousand yuan.
According to Ye Fan’s assessment, that painting was worth at least ten million yuan!
To sell it for only a thousand… if he went over there, wouldn’t he be able to pick up a bargain?
With this thought, Ye Fan turned to Su Yixue, “Yixue darling, you go ahead. I’m going to use the restroom and then I’ll come to find you, okay?”
“This…” Su Yixue hesitated. In her memory, Ye Fan was still in a cognitively impaired state. If he got lost amidst such a crowd, and with so many people keeping an eye on Ye Fan, any issue would be too much for her to handle.
“Darling, don’t worry! I won’t run around, and I’ve grown up, I won’t have any problems!” Ye Fan stared intently at Su Yixue.
Su Yixue pondered for a while. Judging from Ye Fan’s performance over the past few days, it seemed his intelligence had largely recovered. Since they were just inside Thousands Treasure Pavilion, surely nothing would go wrong?
“Alright then!” Su Yixue, seeing the receptionist was still waiting and feeling bad for making her wait too long, said, “If anything comes up, you have to call me, okay?”
As Su Yixue followed the receptionist into the private room, she didn’t forget to instruct some of the other reception staff, “Ladies, please help me keep an eye on my husband; his intelligence is a bit… ”
“Miss Su, rest assured and go ahead. Nothing will happen in Thousands Treasure Pavilion!”
As soon as Su Yixue followed the receptionist into the private room, Ye Fan quickly made his way towards the restroom. After turning the corner, with a Teleportation, he was already in front of the shop next to Thousands Treasure Pavilion!
At that time, the shop owner Ma San was in the midst of the transaction with the two men, “We agreed on this beforehand, one thousand yuan, cash on delivery, no regrets after the exchange!”
Shop owner Ma San suppressed the excitement in his heart, despite not being sure about the authenticity of the painting.
Even if it was a fake, it was one of the better imitations… Buying it for a thousand and flipping it to a gullible customer could easily bring in a few tens of thousands without much trouble…
