Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Arrogant

Luo Yuqing didn’t leave with Wang Chenning.

"I have something to take care of. You guys go on ahead!" For once, Luo Yuqing didn’t make a dirty joke to Wang Chenning. She even handed her car keys to him. "Just park my car at Li Garden Hall."

Wang Chenning didn’t ask any questions. He drove Zheng Qiuhang back to Li Garden Hall.

On the way, Zheng Qiuhang finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity. "Young Master Wang, who exactly is Miss Luo?"

"Why all the questions?" Wang Chenning chuckled. "To be honest, you don’t even have a complete picture of who I am, let alone Luo Yuqing."

Then he added, "I’m not entirely sure who she is myself!"

"You don’t know who she is either?" Zheng Qiuhang was stunned. "Then how can you two trust each other so much?"

"That’s a question you could ask about our relationship, too!" Wang Chenning said, smiling at Zheng Qiuhang in the passenger seat. "We’ve only known each other for a few days, yet I’m putting you in charge of such an important matter. Don’t you think that’s unreasonable?"

Zheng Qiuhang didn’t know how to respond.

"Relationships can be a strange thing sometimes." Wang Chenning sighed softly. "You can know some people for years and still feel like they’re strangers. But with others, you’ve only just met, and you feel like you can trust them. It’s like the saying, ’Some remain strangers even with white hair, while others become old friends at first meeting.’ I guess that’s what this is."

"Thank you for your trust, Young Master Wang!" Zheng Qiuhang was quite moved.

Wang Chenning smiled again. "Then don’t let me down!"

"I definitely won’t disappoint you!"

"Tomorrow, go register a company. Register it in your name. Then, put both Li Garden Hall and Qingyun Hall under it and consolidate their financial statements." Wang Chenning said it as if it were a trivial matter, but for Zheng Qiuhang, it was a seismic event. "From now on, you will manage both Halls. Don’t overthink it. Just do a good job."

"I understand!" Zheng Qiuhang didn’t dare ask any more questions and immediately nodded in agreement. "I’ll find a way to get the company registered tomorrow. By the way, what should the company be called?"

"Just call it Bluebird. It doesn’t need any special meaning."

"Okay!" Zheng Qiuhang still didn’t ask any more questions.

After dropping Zheng Qiuhang off at Li Garden Hall, Wang Chenning returned to the university.

He had just walked into his room when he received a message from Zhao Xiao’an: "Did you and Luo Yuqing raise hell again tonight?"

"’It really is true what they say: good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles!’" Wang Chenning told Zhao Xiao’an that Luo Yuqing had used him as her "gun" again that night, and that he’d even hit Lin Annian.

Zhao Xiao’an was startled and immediately called him.

"You even dared to hit Lin Annian?"

Wang Chenning laughed. "Luo Yuqing said he was the prime suspect for the trouble at Li Garden Hall today, so I hit him!"

"Aren’t you afraid he’ll retaliate?"

"If they want revenge, I’ll just pull Luo Yuqing out to take the bullet." Wang Chenning still didn’t seem concerned. "Besides, I’m all alone here. If things go south, I can just pack up and run back to Chang’an. Or... I could resort to my last resort."

"What last resort?"

"I’ll tell you later!" Wang Chenning asked Zhao Xiao’an if she’d been busy the last couple of days, since she hadn’t contacted him much.

Zhao Xiao’an fell silent. ’There was no way she would tell Wang Chenning that the only reason she contacted him was because of a message from Luo Yuqing.’

A little while earlier, Luo Yuqing had messaged her. After explaining what had happened that night, she revealed a shocking piece of "insider information."

Wang Chenning hadn’t necessarily come to Yandu to marry Yang Xiaofei, but to break off the engagement.

"He met with Yang Xiaofei the moment he arrived in Yandu, and their first meeting lasted less than ten minutes. When Wang Chenning left, he even got into a conflict with Yang Xiaodong. Based on all that, we can draw this conclusion."

"Since neither of them accepts this engagement, it’s basically off. I think that’s also why he dares to flirt with you."

Zhao Xiao’an had simply replied, "What’s that got to do with me!"

And then she had proactively contacted Wang Chenning.

"The plans for the two shows I mentioned last time have been approved. How about I bring the proposal over tomorrow and we can discuss the details?"

Wang Chenning of course agreed, "No problem! I have class tomorrow morning, but I’m free in the afternoon!"

"The afternoon it is, then! I can also show you the pictures we took at the Forbidden City the other day. They turned out great."

"That’s great!"

Zhao Xiao’an then told Wang Chenning that the station had also invited several other famous figures from the world of traditional medicine for one of the shows, and that she wanted to visit one of them tomorrow.

"Why don’t you come with me?" Zhao Xiao’an suggested. "It’s Chang Hongwei from the Imperial Acupuncture Hall National Medical Hall. He’s a highly respected old gentleman in the field of traditional medicine!"

"Okay!" Wang Chenning agreed. "I guess I’ll tag along and meet some people!"

The next day at two in the afternoon, Zhao Xiao’an came to pick up Wang Chenning in her car.

"I’ve already made the arrangements. Old Master Chang Hongwei said he’s an old acquaintance of your grandfather." Zhao Xiao’an, who was dressed very beautifully today, greeted Wang Chenning with a sweet smile. "Since he and your grandfather go way back, it should be easier to talk to him!"

"I don’t think I’ve ever heard my grandpa mention him!" Wang Chenning laughed sheepishly. After looking Zhao Xiao’an up and down, he showered her with praise, telling her how beautiful she looked today.

Today, Zhao Xiao’an was wearing a white trench coat and high-top boots, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. At first glance, she had a very striking, heroic air.

"Really? Beautiful?" Zhao Xiao’an was instantly pleased.

"We definitely have to take a picture together later. It would be an honor to be the green leaf next to a red flower like you!"

Wang Chenning was such a smooth talker. A few simple compliments were all it took to make Zhao Xiao’an beam with joy.

The car quickly arrived at their destination. As Wang Chenning hopped out, his eyes were immediately drawn to a sign hanging by the entrance of the Imperial Acupuncture Hall National Medical Hall.

It actually said, "Huaxia’s Number One Needle"!

"What a boast!" Wang Chenning pointed at the sign and said to Zhao Xiao’an, who had walked up beside him, "This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone in the world of traditional medicine dare to call themselves ’number one’!"

An apprentice from the National Medical Hall walked over, frowning. "What are you two yelling about!"

"Why not just write ’Number One in the World’?" Wang Chenning pointed at the sign and asked the young apprentice with a chuckle. "Just writing ’Huaxia’ is too small-minded."

"Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know anything," the apprentice said, looking at Wang Chenning with a sneer. "Besides our Huaxia, only a few places like Japan and North and South Korea have acupuncture, but Huaxia’s is the best. ’Huaxia’s Number One Needle’ is more than enough!"

"So many people puffing themselves up to look important!" Wang Chenning shook his head and sighed at Zhao Xiao’an. "They’re not confident in themselves, so they use a plaque to keep up appearances. True masters are humble and open-minded, always feeling they have room to improve. They would never be so shameless as to call themselves ’number one.’"

"That’s true!" Zhao Xiao’an naturally agreed with Wang Chenning. "Anyway, I’ve never heard you claim your acupuncture is the best in the world!"

The young apprentice was furious. He pointed at Wang Chenning, enraged. "Get lost! Who the hell do you think you are, causing trouble here?"

"Well, this is a new one," Wang Chenning’s face turned cold. "Just a lowly apprentice, and you dare to be this arrogant? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your master’s reputation?"

"Get out, you’re not welcome here!" The apprentice actually started to push Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning snapped. With a swift, simple counter-grapple, he subdued the apprentice.

Just then, another furious voice rang out. "Who are you people, daring to cause a scene at our establishment?"
