Miss Zhan's acupuncture was not as simple as they thought!
To call Miss Zhan a country bumpkin?
They were the ones!
Could the guzheng compare to Miss Zhan?
Could her medical skills compare to Miss Zhan?
Could her combat skills compare to Miss Zhan?
And, was she as beautiful as Miss Zhan?
In a fit of anger, Liu Ning sent all these words to Ning Yecheng.
When Ning Yecheng saw these words, although his expression remained unchanged, he still sent back three words: "You are right."
Liu Ning's eyes lit up as he looked at the words "You are right."
The boss praised him!
"Investigate those who slandered and spread rumors, and warn them one by one."
Another message came from the boss.
Liu Ning nodded repeatedly as he looked at the boss's instructions. The boss's decision was too right!
Just as he was about to make a call, he remembered something and sent the screenshots to Zhang Xin and Zhou Ye.
Their group chat.
He sent the same messages he had sent to Ning Yecheng to them again.
Zhang Xin replied instantly: "Holy crap, what nonsense are these women spouting!"
Zhou Ye followed up: three rolling-eye emojis.
Zhou Ye: "They are ugly and ignorant, so they say Miss Zhan is ignorant? Miss Zhan is capable of more than just that! I think her cooking is the most amazing! Ever since I ate her food, nothing else tastes good. I've lost weight these past two days. My mom asked if I was trying to lose weight and said starving myself isn't healthy. What a load of crap! I'm not starving myself!"
Zhang Xin: "Her driving skills are also superb!! What do they know? Damn it! You two always say her cooking is good, I taught her to drive, and I haven't even eaten her cooking yet!"
Seeing that they were veering off track.
Liu Ning's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Can you focus on the important points! There are many groups spreading all sorts of bad news about Miss Zhan. Can you guys think of a way to make these people shut up? I'll find someone to warn the ones who are most vocal. The boss is angry, do you know that?!"
Zhang Xin: "Do I need to tell you? I've already gone to find a bunch of my friends. They should have already wiped out several groups by now."
Zhou Ye: "I've already taken action, Liu Ning, you're slower than us."
Liu Ning almost wanted to spit blood, his fingers fumbling with phone numbers faster.
He was slow?
There were some things he could take his time with, but when it came to others, he was faster than anyone.
Otherwise, how could he have stood out and become the boss's special assistant?
Meanwhile, at the hotel, after Zhan Xiaojun's performance, everything fell silent.
Several people's expressions were clearly displeased.
Only Grandma Ning snapped back to reality from the world of music and applauded excitedly, "Xiaojun, this is the best guzheng piece I've ever heard. I've never heard anything like it before, it's so beautiful! Our Xiaojun is the best!"
It was absolutely not because she had a bias towards her future granddaughter-in-law; it was genuine praise and admiration.
Liu Ning had told her that although Xiaojun hadn't formally studied medicine in school, her medical skills were even better than Zhou Ye's. For years, she had suffered from her troublesome son's insomnia and headaches, and had secretly tried many folk remedies, none of which worked.
But after Xiaojun appeared, she was able to treat the troublesome son!
Now, seeing Xiaojun's talent, she suddenly felt that if her son didn't work hard, with such a good girl, someone else would surely recognize her talent and snatch her away!
Zhan Xiaojun returned to sit beside Grandma Ning.
Seeing that Grandma Ning's cup was empty, she picked up the teapot and refilled her cup.
Then she looked at Qian Yue.
Qian Yue had naturally fair skin, so any blush on her face was particularly noticeable. Her cheeks were flushed red. Seeing Zhan Xiaojun look at her, she reluctantly said, "Miss Zhan, how many years have you been learning the guzheng? And who is your teacher?"
"I just played it for a while when I had nothing to do. I haven't taken any lessons," Zhan Xiaojun replied calmly.
Besides learning medicine, she had many other hobbies, and her parents let her do as she pleased. She learned whatever she liked.
Fortunately, she wasn't stupid and never disappointed her elders.
Of course, her eldest brother's ability to hear people's thoughts was not something she could learn just by being smart.
And her third brother's beast-taming skills.
Her second brother was naturally sensitive to medicine. Although she also loved medicine and had always studied it, she was far inferior to her second brother in poison making.
Thinking of her three brothers, she felt homesick again.
She lowered her eyes, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of tea, hiding the longing and loneliness in her eyes.
No teacher?
Qian Yue's face turned even uglier. So she was self-taught?
Could self-teaching achieve this level?
It was clear she wasn't telling the truth.
"I heard before that Miss Zhan had been living in the countryside. I didn't expect you to have access to the guzheng in the countryside," Qian Yue said, biting her lip, with a sarcastic tone.
Zhan Xiaojun raised her eyebrows: "Is the guzheng some kind of expensive item?"
She ran through the deep mountains and old forests every day, but that didn't stop her from entertaining herself.
Qian Yue was immediately speechless.
Grandma Qian gave Qian Yue a look, then said to Zhan Xiaojun with a smile, "The young lady is truly remarkable. She's so talented and doesn't show it off. No wonder she's so likable. Even I like her."
Old Mrs. Ning liked to hear this. She nodded repeatedly, "Some things don't need to be said every day, and what's spread online is clearly not true. If we were easily fooled by those rumors, our Ning family would have missed out on such a good granddaughter-in-law!"
Zhan Xiaojun heard Old Mrs. Ning mention the Ning family again and again. If it weren't for the crowd, she would have really wanted to ask Grandma Ning if the grandson she was referring to was the person she was thinking of.
If it was the same person, wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?
Due to the guzheng incident, everyone became quiet.
However, while playing on their phones, they discussed Zhan Xiaojun in their group chat.
"I didn't expect her to have some real talent. Qian Yue, what do you think of her playing?"
Qian Yue's hand, holding her phone, trembled. "It was alright."
"So her playing was just so-so! But Grandma Ning likes her! I really can't understand what's so likable about her. Grandma Ning used to praise me too."
"No way, we can't let her have all the spotlight today, right? We have to make her embarrass herself before she leaves, or I won't be able to swallow this."
"I have an idea. Do you remember there's a shooting range upstairs? I used to practice shooting. If my family hadn't stopped me, I would have joined the national team long ago. How about challenging her to a competition? It would be best if we could get a photo of her looking scared. Then we can find a way to show it to President Ning. He'll definitely dislike her."
"That's a great idea!"
After that, the elders chatted happily.
Zhan Xiaojun had not spoken, and everyone else was looking at their phones.
When Zhan Xiaojun came out after going to the restroom, she was surrounded by Qian Yue and the others.
At first glance, with several people surrounding her, someone without much courage would indeed be a little scared.
This was because they all exuded an inexplicable air of arrogance.
But Zhan Xiaojun's expression was cold.
