After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 583 Family Legacy

At Feng's Pharmacy, Chi Xiaorou found Shen Xu, who was learning about medicinal herbs from Qian Zengming.

"Xiaorou, are you familiar with the area up there?"

"Xiao Rou has handled the matters entrusted to her by Huo Jingshi at headquarters, so there is nothing difficult about it."

"Don't be too proud or complacent. What you learn at headquarters is one thing, but its actual application is another. You still have a lot to learn from Huo Jingshi."

In addition, there are many special situations in actual work that cannot be found in the college's teaching. You need to deal with them on the spot and communicate with Mingge to solve them.

Don't try to take everything on yourself. A person is always limited and prone to making mistakes.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Qian. I understand all of this."

Chi Xiaorou could understand the warning in Qian Zengming's words. He was telling her not to interfere in Wu Hen's affairs, so that she could be safe if something happened to Wu Hen.

She was well aware of this, but this opportunity was very important to her. If she missed it, she didn't know how long she would be sidelined.

"Uncle Qian, can I come with you to browse the pharmacy?"

“Of course, but only within the pharmacy, since the head of the mirror has his own responsibilities.” Qian Zengming smiled.

"Xiao Rou knows."

Looking at Chi Xiaorou in front of him, Shen Xu sighed softly. He didn't want things to develop this way either.

Blame the person who insisted on sending him here!

The work at the pharmacy may seem simple, but in reality, it's quite complicated.

The maintenance and storage of those medicinal herbs alone gave him a headache, not to mention the procedures and accounting precautions required for their acquisition and sale.

Looking at Chi Xiaorou's serious expression, Shen Xu's thoughts began to wander...

"It's getting late, the pharmacy should be closing up shop."

"This is your first time visiting Danding City. I've booked a banquet at Zuihonglou Restaurant. Tonight, let me, as your elder, do my best to be a good host and welcome you."

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Qian to spend the money." Chi Xiaorou looked tired, and her dark circles seemed even more pronounced.

"Xiaorou, you also need to take care of yourself. Filming is already very tiring, and you're still so young. Don't ruin your health."

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Qian. I'm fine." Chi Xiaorou gave a weak smile.

"Wu Hen, please take better care of Xiao Rou and don't let her do too much."

"I will do my best," Shen Xu quickly assured him.

"Just do your best."

……

In a private room on the top floor of Zuihonglou.

Standing outside the window, looking at the brightly lit night scene of Danding City, Shen Xu suddenly felt as if he had returned to Earth.

The streets radiated a soft, milky-white glow, which mingled with the spirit stone lanterns lit up in front of the shops and the Dan Pavilion.

Large shops like Wandan Pavilion used arrays to project dazzling light and shadow, reflecting their signs and images of precious elixirs into the night sky, creating a radiant display.

The furnaces in the workshop area shone even brighter in the night, reddening half the sky and reflecting off the pale golden clouds in the sky formed by the accumulation of rich cinnabar energy over the years, creating a fantastic and magnificent picture.

Dan City, on the other hand, presents a different kind of prosperity amidst the lights.

The night market opened, its stalls illuminated by colorful lanterns. Selling relatively inexpensive pills, basic medicinal herbs, and local snacks, the market attracted many cash-strapped cultivators and curious tourists.

The sound of the bells and chimes seemed even more distant and profound in the twilight.

In the core area, the Dingyuan Hall, Dan Tower, and Wanfang Pavilion resembled lurking giant beasts in the night, their outlines delineated by the array's halo, making them appear even more mysterious and majestic.

"Isn't it spectacular! When I first came to Danding City, Old Mingge brought me here."

However, I was much worse off than you. I was so shocked that my mouth was agape, and it took me a long time to come to my senses...

Ha ha……"

As if recalling the scene from that time, Qian Zengming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, he said with some emotion, "A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. I never thought I would understand the feelings of the old Ming Pavilion. Dancheng is like my second hometown. How can I not feel sad about leaving now?"

I still remember what the old Mingge told me: Dancheng is a good place for most people, but for the new Mingge, it is a hell.

Too many people are watching you, both inside and outside, all trying to find your weaknesses and ready to drag you down to hell at any moment.

He didn't think highly of me back then, just as he doesn't think highly of you now.

But I stayed in Dan City for over a hundred years.

And now I wish you well in finding your place in Dancheng, just as he wished me well back then.”

"Thank you, senior!" Shen Xu bowed and said.

"You don't need to thank me, I'm just doing my job."

Whether you can survive in a place as fiery and chaotic as Dancheng depends entirely on your own abilities; Fengyulou is not a peaceful place.

Where storms are created, storms will never be lacking.

"Junior understands."

Shen Xu could sense the sincerity in Qian Zengming's words, though perhaps he still harbored many grievances against him.

But at this moment, he felt that his senior truly hoped he could make a name for himself in Dan Ding City.

"I've heard that older people seem to enjoy teaching younger people, so it seems I've reached that stage too," Qian Zengming said with a self-deprecating laugh.

“Uncle Qian is in his prime, how can you say he’s old?” Chi Xiaorou said with a smile.

"Before I came to Danding City, the old ancestor said that he had misjudged Uncle Qian back then, and that it was one of the few times he had misjudged him."

Perhaps it was because he had such deep feelings for Dan Ding City that he felt no one could do a better job than him, no matter who succeeded him.

But the fact is that Uncle Qian not only perfectly took over the business left by his ancestors, but also developed it to its current scale.

The old ancestor said that your achievements in Dancheng have completely surpassed his, and he felt very gratified.

They even said they'd invite you to visit the Chi family after you get to headquarters!

"Haha... I didn't expect to hear Old Mingge's evaluation of my work before I left. I think I can leave this city without any regrets."

However, I dare not admit that I have surpassed Lao Mingge's achievements; I have merely added to the framework left by Lao Mingge.

"Once I get to headquarters, I will definitely visit Old Ming Pavilion as soon as possible." Qian Zengming was clearly very happy to hear Chi Xiaorou's words.

Shen Xu was certain that some benefits had already been exchanged during the conversation, and he hadn't expected that his predecessor would be a member of the Chi family.

Indeed, family traditions are inevitable no matter where you are.

The Wind and Rain Tower is not a place to stay for long.

How can a 'genius' from a small place compare to the accumulated knowledge and skills of others over dozens of generations?
