Wu Tian's words made Xiao Meng's eyes widen, and even Xiao Ding was taken aback.
Xiao Meng stared wide-eyed and said, "What did you say? Wu Tian, what do you mean by that? This is the position of Technical Director, how can you refuse?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to being wild, so I don't want to be bound by too many rules."
"This Technical Director position can be left for someone else to do."
After a few seconds of speechlessness, Xiao Ding did not force the issue. Instead, he smiled and said, "You really are no ordinary person, you surprise me at every turn."
"But it's okay, if you don't want to do it, then don't."
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and choosing the way that makes you most comfortable is the best."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, President, for understanding me."
Xiao Meng scratched her cheek and murmured softly, "He's such a strange person. Others can't get this position even if they want it, but you just refused it outright. I really don't understand..."
After that, Xiao Ding didn't continue the conversation on this topic.
He straightened his expression and said, "But speaking of which, Wu Tian, since you have qualified for the regional competition, there are some things I should remind you about."
"Our southern region is, after all, a prosperous land, and the culture of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been very developed since a long time ago. For example, two of the three major pharmaceutical families originated from our side."
"This has led to a large number of TCM forces in our region, with seven or eight powerful ones."
"Although these forces cannot compare to the three major pharmaceutical families, they are still rich in heritage and have hundreds of years of history."
"The geniuses who emerge from them are all extraordinary."
"What you can do today, they might also be able to do."
"So, when participating in the regional competition, you must be very careful and not take it lightly."
Wu Tian knew that Xiao Ding was saying this for his own good, so he nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for the reminder, President."
"However, my strength is not just this. Even if the opponent is very strong, I think I can still handle it."
Xiao Ding felt a powerful confidence emanating from Wu Tian.
This confidence was fundamentally different from Yuan Hai's arrogance. Yuan Hai's confidence came from blind self-assurance.
But Wu Tian's words came from... true strength!
For a moment, Xiao Ding's mind drifted.
He suddenly realized how unfathomable Wu Tian was. This young man definitely had many hidden aspects that he had not yet witnessed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding couldn't help but glance at Xiao Meng again, his eyes changing slightly.
Then, he smiled and said, "Since you have such confidence, I am very relieved."
"If you need anything in the future, you can ask me directly, and I will satisfy all your requests!"
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, no problem. Thank you in advance, President."
Xiao Ding smiled and said, "You don't need to be so polite with me. In my heart, you are already one of us."
"Oh, right, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll take my leave for now. You can chat with my daughter."
After saying that, Xiao Ding left directly.
In the room, only Xiao Meng and Wu Tian remained.
Wu Tian slowly drank his tea, while Xiao Meng kept observing him.
As she continued to look, Wu Tian began to feel a little embarrassed.
He couldn't help but put down his teacup and give Xiao Meng a wry smile, "Xiao Meng, why do you keep staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Xiao Meng didn't shy away at all and said with admiration, "Wu Tian, the more I look at you, the more magical you seem!"
"What do you eat to grow up to be so amazing?"
Wu Tian chuckled and said, "What else would I eat but grains? I'm from the countryside, so my food isn't any better than yours!"
Xiao Meng said, "But I just find it very strange!"
"Do you know, this is the first time I've seen my father talk to a young man like this!"
"It's as if... it's as if he treats you like his son."
Wu Tian smiled again, "Son? Then, according to you, should I be your older brother or your younger brother?"
Xiao Meng said, "I'm twenty-two this year, and you?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Twenty-two? Then you are two years younger than me. In that case, you should call me brother, shouldn't you?"
Xiao Meng pouted and said, "Don't even think about taking advantage of me. I will never call you brother!"
Wu Tian chuckled again.
He thought Xiao Meng was such a cute girl, and she was so beautiful too. Who wouldn't like such a girl?
But after looking at Xiao Meng for a few more moments, he suddenly froze and then stared intently at her.
Xiao Meng noticed Wu Tian's gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"
Wu Tian did not answer Xiao Meng.
When Xiao Meng realized that Wu Tian was looking at her chest, her face immediately turned red.
She said with some shy anger, "Hey, what are you looking at? Are you trying to play tricks on me!"
Wu Tian was startled and quickly shook his head, "No, no, how could I play tricks on you? I just suddenly discovered something."
"Something?" Xiao Meng was stunned. "What is it?"
Wu Tian asked, "Let me ask you first, have you often felt a tightness in your chest recently?"
"And at its worst, you might even have trouble breathing."
Xiao Meng was immediately surprised and said, "How did you know? I have indeed been having this problem recently. It's so annoying!"
"Although I am a doctor, I can't figure out what the problem is."
"Not only that, even Western medical equipment can't detect it, which makes it uncomfortable even when I sleep."
Wu Tian said, "It's normal that you can't find out."
"Because you are not sick at all, and your condition is caused by a problem in your chest. So perhaps you were looking in the wrong direction from the start."
Xiao Meng was stunned by Wu Tian's words.
She asked, "What do you mean? Don't speak in riddles, okay?"
"Just tell me directly what the situation is. I can handle it."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You don't need to put on a brave face as if you're going to your death. Your condition is not serious yet, and I can cure it if you want."
"Simply put, there is a mass of stagnant qi accumulated in that area."
"That stagnant qi has been unable to dissipate for a long time, and slowly, it has begun to cause problems with your respiratory system."
"Now, that stagnant qi has not yet permeated into your chest, but if it does completely, then your physical condition will be much more serious than it is now."
"That area?" Xiao Meng heard this and couldn't help but look down.
And when she saw the curve of her chest, her face immediately turned red.
"No way, what you're talking about... could it be here?"
