Chapter 129 You're celebrating too soon.
Hearing what Grandma Su said, Su Zichen nodded and prepared to put away the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
Splash...
A series of crisp sounds suddenly rang out.
A food cart carrying trays in the hotel suddenly tipped over, scattering plates, bowls, wine glasses, and other items all over the floor.
The sudden situation startled Su Zichen.
With a tremor of his hand, the box slipped from his grasp.
"Zi Chen! Watch out!" the old lady cried out and quickly reached out to catch it.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Just as the box was about to shatter, Lu Chenyang gently stretched out his foot, and the box landed steadily on his foot.
With a gentle flick, the box flew back into Lu Chenyang's hands.
"My goodness!" Grandma Su breathed a long sigh of relief, but couldn't help scolding, "Zichen, you are so careless."
"How can we afford to be distracted at a time like this?"
"Fortunately, Lu Chenyang reacted quickly."
"If we break that Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, all our preparations will be in vain."
Grandma Su patted her chest and let out a long sigh.
"I'm sorry, Grandma, I'll be more careful." Su Zichen was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat, apologizing repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, it's good that everything's alright. Hurry up and pack your things away." Grandma Su calmed down and urged them repeatedly.
"Pity!"
Su Youfei and Deng Lingling clenched their fists tightly, the same thought flashing through their minds.
If the item is really broken, then Su Zichen will have no hope at all.
Even if I can't get a recommendation spot, I can't let Su Zichen get one.
After all, if you can't have it, no one else can either.
"That damn Lu Chenyang, how come he's so fast?"
"If only the Nine-Bend Ginseng could be broken."
Deng Lingling's eyes were filled with resentment and malice, and her mind became somewhat twisted.
Just then.
"Zi Chen, why is your hand bleeding?" Lu Chenyang asked in surprise.
When everyone looked down, they saw that there was indeed a trickle of blood seeping from the back of Su Zichen's hand.
"It's just a small cut, nothing serious. It was probably from the flying glass shards," Su Zichen replied with a smile, wiping the wound with a tissue.
I originally thought it was just a minor incident.
Suddenly, the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng in Su Zichen's hand turned completely black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, a foul stench emanated from it.
"What, what exactly happened?" Su Zichen was stunned and at a loss when she saw the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng that had suddenly rotted and deteriorated.
Even Lu Chenyang was slightly taken aback.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Su Zichen was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale.
"Did the blood on your hands just now contaminate this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng?" Lu Chenyang asked with a strange expression.
"Well...maybe, I haven't paid much attention. Is it related to this?" Su Zichen asked nervously.
Lu Chenyang sighed softly, "The reason why the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng is called 'spirit' is because it breaks when it encounters metal, dissolves when it encounters water, and rots when it encounters blood."
“Your blood just now may have been stained with the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.”
"This ginseng has rotted now."
"Huh? You mean, because of that just now, this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng has really turned into a rotten radish?" Su Zichen's anxious voice trembled. "Husband, you're quick-witted, think of a solution quickly!"
You know, that's a Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng worth 100 million!
Most importantly, that's a treasure that Chairman Zhuo offered a hefty reward for.
Just because of this little incident, does all our previous efforts have to be wasted?
“The stuff is already rotten, how can you possibly make it fresh?” Lu Chenyang shook his head speechlessly.
He already knew that this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng was extremely precious.
That's why a box was specially made for this treasure as a form of protection.
He just didn't expect that such a mishap would happen at the last minute.
"What did you say? That Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng was contaminated by Su Zichen's blood and has now turned into a rotten radish?"
After the Su family learned of this news at the Zhonghai City Grand Hotel...
Everyone had a different expression; some were regretful, some were happy, and some were gloating.
Those who were delighted and gloating were naturally the young women led by Su Youfei and Deng Lingling.
They all sighed inwardly, thinking that God had truly opened his eyes.
It seems that Su Zichen is destined to be an insignificant person his whole life; even if he were given a tremendous opportunity, he wouldn't be able to seize it.
The one who felt regret and worry was naturally Old Mrs. Su.
I originally thought that I could use this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng to build a good relationship with Chairman Zhuo and thus obtain a recommendation for the position of image ambassador.
Now all our efforts have been in vain.
“Lu Chenyang, only a little bit of blood has seeped into this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.”
Is there any way to salvage this situation?
"Why don't we scrape off the outer layer? Maybe the other half can still be used."
Despite knowing the chances were slim, Grandma Su still refused to give up.
“This…this is like wood that has been burned into charcoal. How can we restore it to its original state?” Lu Chenyang shook his head helplessly.
There's nothing he can do about this; it's even harder than bringing someone back from the dead.
"Alas... Heaven has not blessed my Su family." In an instant, Old Mrs. Su lost most of her energy and spirit.
She gave Su Zichen a deep look, wanting to scold him for showing off.
But upon closer reflection, the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng belonged to Su Zichen, and he had no right to blame her.
He sighed deeply and said, "As expected, luck won't always be on the Su family's side."
"Grandma, don't be sad. It's okay if Su Zichen's gift is gone. Our Su family isn't just about him. The things I prepared are no worse than anyone else's, and Chairman Zhuo will definitely like them." Su Youfei leaned close to the old lady Su and whispered a few words to her.
"Is everything you said true?" Grandma Su's eyes lit up instantly.
"Grandma, how could I dare to talk about such things?" Su Youfei nodded confidently.
"Good, good, good, Youfei, as long as you can get this recommendation spot this time, I will give you the chairman's position!" Grandma Su laughed heartily.
"Then thank you, Grandma." Su Youfei looked at Su Zichen with a haughty expression. "Su Zichen, now that your Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng is ruined, what are you still doing here?"
Even if you manage to snag a bargain by chance, so what?
"Such a great opportunity fell into your lap, yet you couldn't hold onto it. This just shows that you're destined to be a nobody in this life."
"Su Youfei, you've gone too far." Hearing Su Youfei's sarcastic remarks, Su Zichen felt both aggrieved and angry.
He didn't laugh at others when he got the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, but now he's being ruthlessly ostracized by Su Youfei.
Since I'm staying here, all I'll get is ridicule.
It's better to leave; out of sight, out of mind.
She grabbed Lu Chenyang's arm and said, "Honey, let's go."
However, Lu Chenyang did not leave.
Instead, he turned to Su Youfei and said, "Su Youfei, you seem to be celebrating a little too soon."
"Do you think that without the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, we can't get a recommendation spot?"
