Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 480 : Crazy Woman
"A gift is a definite must, but my visit was hasty this time, and I didn't prepare anything. If the gift isn't to your liking, I hope Miss Gu won't scorn it," Hao Jian said with a smile.
"Don't worry, even if I don't like it, I won't say so," Gu Qingcheng replied playfully.
"As magnanimous as Qingcheng is, if you pull out something too cheap, better not to embarrass yourself by showing it," Luo Ruihe mocked, clearly not planning to let Hao Jian off the hook that easily.
At that moment, all eyes were on Hao Jian, but their expressions were teasing, doubtlessly skeptical that Hao Jian could produce anything of value.
A teacher at Chinese Medicine Hospital, with a monthly salary of a few thousand yuan, what decent gift could he afford?
Swiftly, everyone saw Hao Jian pull a bottle from his pocket, place it on the table, and say, "Just a small token, no great homage, but I hope you accept it."
"Giving medicine? That's really in line with your job," Luo Ruihe let out a chilling laugh, his face full of disdain and mockery. Was Hao Jian really implying that Gu Qingcheng was already ill by giving her medicine?

"Handsome, don't you know that medicine isn't something to give away carelessly, especially at a birthday party?" a woman asked, her tone playful.
Luo Ruihe also looked somewhat embarrassed, as she hadn't expected Hao Jian to give her medicine, which felt like a bad omen.
"This is no ordinary medicine; this is called the 'Marrow-Cleansing Detox Elixir.' Once taken, it detoxifies and beautifies," Hao Jian explained.
"So it's just the Detoxifying Beauty Capsules, but you call it the Marrow-Cleansing Detox Elixir? Do you think we're fools?" Luo Ruihe scoffed disdainfully.
Everyone else also found it somewhat laughable—it was just Detoxifying Beauty Capsules, nothing special.
"It works on the same principle as Detoxifying Beauty Capsules, but its effects are hundreds of times stronger. Just one pill, and you'll see effects within ten minutes!" Hao Jian claimed.
"A hundred times stronger than Detoxifying Beauty Capsules? If you had such a thing, would you still be a penniless teacher?" Luo Ruihe teased. If it were him, he'd have marketed it already and be counting his money every day.
Any normal person would do the same, so he simply didn't believe Hao Jian's pill was as miraculous as claimed.
"First off, I teach as a hobby. Secondly, who said a teacher has to be broke? Lastly, would you have achieved today's success without teachers? Don't you understand gratitude toward teachers? 'Once a teacher, a lifelong father'—don't you get that? Have you forgotten Huaxia's five thousand years of noble tradition? Have you lived the last twenty-plus years as if on a dog's years?" Hao Jian ranted on and on.
"You... you..." Luo Ruihe pointed at Hao Jian, too angered to speak.
"Teacher Hao Jian, what is so extraordinary about your elixir?" At that moment, Gu Qingcheng's friends couldn't help but ask.
"This elixir is my own creation, a unique secret formula, priceless, and I even take it myself. If it doesn't work, I'm willing to bet my head and use it as a football!" Hao Jian declared confidently, his good health attributed to his periodic use of the Marrow-Cleansing Detox Elixir to rid his body of toxins.
"Hmph, you talk as if it's real. It's better not to believe him. You heard him—the medicine is his own concoction and hasn't passed any safety certifications. Don't let it kill someone by accident; that would be a real problem," Luo Ruihe said sarcastically.
The women, initially curious about Hao Jian's medicine, hurriedly diverted their attention away from it after hearing this.
Feeling resigned, Hao Jian merely shrugged his shoulders without explanation and reached for the medicine bottle on the table: "Since you don't like it, forget about it."
He wasn't very eager to give it away anyway. Producing a single bottle of elixir was no small feat—it took at least a week, and the ingredients were extremely rare.
Giving it to Gu Qingcheng was meant to honor her, and if she didn't want it, that was her loss.
"Hold on!" Just then, Gu Qingcheng grabbed Hao Jian's hand, her eyes blazing as she smirked, "Did I say I didn't want it?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Hao Jian was taken aback.
Luo Ruihe was also stunned, looking at Gu Qingcheng in confusion: "Qingcheng, this guy's medicine is definitely fake; don't just take it rashly, it could upset your stomach."
"If even the medicine from a Divine Doctor is considered fake, then there's no real medicine in this world," Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hao Jian couldn't help but furrow his brows, also surprised that Gu Qingcheng knew of his identity.
"Divine Doctor? Demon Gu, what are you talking about?" The crowd was utterly baffled.
"You don't recognize this guy?" Gu Qingcheng pointed at Hao Jian and asked the crowd.
"Are you joking? Isn't he a new friend brought by Xinya? How could we possibly know him?" the crowd responded, half amused—they had only met Hao Jian today; how could they possibly know him?
"You really are ignorant," Gu Qingcheng said with a resigned shake of her head, "Did you forget the Chinese Medicine teacher from the Chinese Medicine Hospital who recently overcame a foreign chess genius with his Chess Technique that we talked about?"
"Of course we remember, wait, Demon Gu are you saying he's that teacher?" Everyone's expression suddenly became blank. They had talked earlier about inviting this Teacher Zhongyi, who had brought glory to the nation, to dinner if they ever got the chance, but who could have expected that he was so far yet so near?
Gu Qingcheng nodded and smiled, "He is that Traditional Chinese Medicine teacher, and moreover, he's not the pauper you think he is. His master is Liang Wangsun, a highly revered figure in Huaxia's medical community. Therefore, the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital pays him a high price of 500,000 per class to give lectures there. At 500,000 for a 40-minute class, he earns more than any of us."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. A disciple of Liang Wangsun? Just that title alone is worth millions, right?
500,000 for 40 minutes, making over 10,000 a minute, that's a lot more money than any of them had.
Initially, everyone had looked down on Hao Jian because he was a teacher, but now, having heard what Gu Qingcheng said, they all looked at Hao Jian with awe.
This also reflected a truth indirectly: if you excel in anything you do, you can reap rich rewards.
Who says you can only make big money in business? Isn't Hao Jian, a doctor, earning more than them?
Luo Ruihe was literally petrified on the spot, still somewhat unable to recover even after hearing Gu Qingcheng's explanation, staring blankly at Hao Jian.
"What the hell is going on? Why does this guy have such a big background?" At this moment, not only was Luo Ruihe stunned, but Su Xinya was also taken aback, for she too had not realized that Hao Jian had such an extraordinary background.
Entrepreneur, artist, doctor, teacher, just how many identities does this guy have?
Meanwhile, Hao Jian, also interested, looked at Gu Qingcheng: "It seems you know a lot about me?"
"The director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, Du Yuelin, is my grandfather, so what do you think?" Gu Qingcheng said with a smirk, having recognized Hao Jian from the first glance and thus decided to tease him a bit.
However, she did not expect that, in the end, she would be the one getting teased by Hao Jian.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian was immediately surprised. Gu Qingcheng's answer caught him off guard—Gu Qingcheng was Du Yuelin's niece? This is interesting!
Hao Jian smiled and nodded: "I see, it seems your grandfather has told you all about me."
"No, he hasn't told me everything, at least he didn't tell me that the legendary Teacher Hao Jian is actually so... wolfish behind the scenes!" Gu Qingcheng teased with a mischievous smile.
"Cough, cough..." Hao Jian coughed awkwardly, feeling somewhat aggrieved: It was clearly you who seduced me first, right?
"So, this means the elixir is real, huh?" A girl stared eagerly at the Marrow-Cleansing Detox Elixir on the table, utterly mesmerized. Clearly, if Hao Jian was indeed the Divine Doctor, then the elixir must be genuine.
"I believe a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine wouldn't bring a fake medicine just to fool me, smashing his own reputation," Gu Qingcheng said with a beaming smile: "Right?"
Hao Jian, half laughing, half crying, replied: "Of course not."
"So, Teacher Hao Jian, how much is this bottle of medicine?" someone asked, now deeply interested in the Marrow-Cleansing Detox Elixir.
"About one million," Hao Jian said after some thought.
At his words, everyone was shocked; the medicine was that expensive?
"Talking nonsense, selling one bottle of medicine for a million, do you think you're selling gold?" Luo Ruihe said resentfully, his ego bruised by Hao Jian stealing the spotlight.
"You're wrong, my medicine is even more expensive than gold. For those I like, I give it away for free, for those I don't like, not even for ten million would I sell!" Hao Jian retorted with a scoff. He wasn't lacking money and he certainly didn't need to rely on his talents to make a living because he was also very handsome.
"Do you really think someone would be foolish enough to spend a million on your medicine? Ridiculous!" Luo Ruihe scoffed, disbelieving that anyone would spend so much.
"I'll buy it! I want a bottle!"
"I want one too, Hao Jian, sell me one, please? I don't mind if it's expensive, maybe two million?"
"Hao Jian, do you have any on you right now? I'll give you three million!"
However, as soon as Luo Ruihe's words fell, Gu Qingcheng's friends started scrambling to buy Hao Jian's medicine.
"You all..." Luo Ruihe was dumbfounded, these women were literally slapping him in the face.
Just said no one would buy Hao Jian's medicine, and the next thing they did was scramble for it, unbelievable...
Wasn't this deliberately making him embarrassed?
