The ringing was abrupt, especially in this room, drawing everyone's gaze to Li Se, as it was his phone that was ringing.
"Otherwise... should I hang up?" Li Se dangled his phone, the number clearly visible to everyone.
While others might not recognize the number, Springhall certainly did. Wasn't it his own number? He immediately understood and quickly hung up. With a smile plastered on his face, he walked towards Li Se and said, "It was all a misunderstanding just now. Doctor Li, so you are the esteemed Chinese medicine practitioner our president spoke of. I was blind not to see it."
"Dr. Springhall, is this the Chinese medicine practitioner our president highly recommends?" Peter was also somewhat surprised.
"Haha!" Steven chuckled. "Peter, I told you earlier that this young miracle doctor's medical skills are superb, but you didn't believe me. Now even the president of the Medical Association praises him, you should believe it now, right?"
Peter chuckled awkwardly. "Doctor Li, it was my oversight just now."
"Doctor Li, can you really treat Mr. Peter without surgery?" Springhall asked quickly.
"Chinese medicine can!" Li Se nodded slightly. "Chinese herbal medicine can expel Mr. Peter's kidney stones."
"Can it really?" Peter was a little excited. As long as it wasn't surgery, he would naturally be very happy. However, as soon as he said this, his expression changed. Kidney stones weren't fatal, but the pain was truly agonizing.
"Quickly give Mr. Peter some painkillers!" Springhall said hastily.
Li Se waved his hand. "Mr. Peter has likely taken many painkillers and is already somewhat immune to them. Acupuncture can relieve pain!"
As he spoke, Li Se produced silver needles and inserted them into the acupoints of Shenshu, Jingmen, and Sanyinjiao. With these simple three acupoints, Peter's pain was instantly relieved.
"Chinese medicine is amazing, it's truly miraculous!" Peter exclaimed in awe.
Springhall also felt a surge of emotion. Chinese medicine was indeed remarkable. If President Rowling hadn't visited China and consistently praised Chinese medicine, he would still have harbored doubts about it.
Li Se quickly wrote down a prescription and said, "Following this prescription, it can be expelled in one go."
Peter nodded and immediately dispatched someone to fetch the herbs. There were many traditional Chinese medicine shops, and within half an hour, the herbs were returned. However, boiling the decoction also took considerable time. After Peter finished drinking it, he immediately went to the restroom, and the kidney stones were indeed completely expelled at that moment.
"Doctor Li... no, Miracle Doctor Li, thank you so much." Peter gratefully grasped Li Se's hand. He had suffered from this ailment for a long time and was finally cured.
"As long as it's Miracle Doctor Li's company, my HR will invest heavily!" Peter added, considering it his consultation fee.
"Then thank you, Mr. Peter." Li Se smiled.
Peter chuckled. "Don't worry, I will announce the cooperation with your company tomorrow. Oh, right, your company is called..."
"Muzi Group," Zhang Aimin replied.
"Good, I'll draft the contract immediately. Let's have in-depth cooperation." Peter nodded.
After leaving Peter's room, Zhang Aimin smiled. "With HR's cooperation, our Muzi Group's Yunmeng Company will have no problem establishing a foothold in Beijing. Our beauty cream can then enter the international market."
Relying solely on the previous business model, although the beauty cream was popular, it was limited to Qingyun City. It was difficult to venture beyond Qingyun City, and even entering Beijing was quite challenging. But now it was different. With HR's cooperation, entering Beijing would be a matter of minutes, and they could even promote the beauty cream internationally!
The financial summit was still ongoing, and Steven remained the main focus of this conference, so the events that had just transpired were quickly forgotten.
*Bang!*
At the financial summit's buffet, Zhang Aimin accidentally bumped into a woman. The other woman exclaimed and then flew into a rage, "You bitch, how dare you bump into me?"
Zhang Aimin frowned. "You bumped into me yourself, didn't you?"
"Heh, who do you think you are? Do you think I, Qiao Weiyue, would bump into you?" The woman's face was filled with disdain and a look of disgust.
"It's Qiao Weiyue, she's a big star."
"It seems she bumped into someone. Isn't she going to apologize?"
"I vaguely heard that this Qiao Weiyue is here because she was invited by a big shot in Beijing."
"If you anger Qiao Weiyue, you'll have to pay a heavy price."
"..."
Many people who witnessed this scene began to whisper amongst themselves.
"You bumped into me yourself, and you're not even apologizing. Now you have the nerve to say this?" Zhang Aimin frowned.
"I apologize to you?" Qiao Weiyue burst into laughter, a contemptuous laugh. "What kind of trash are you, that you deserve an apology from me? Do you know who I am? I'm an internationally renowned A-list star, and you're, at best, the boss of a small company, or perhaps a mistress kept by some small boss. Do you think you deserve an apology from me?"
Qiao Weiyue's words were quite harsh, but many agreed. Zhang Aimin was so beautiful and charming, it was plausible she was being kept.
*Slap!*
Zhang Aimin was not one to bully the weak and fear the strong. She slapped Qiao Weiyue across the face and said angrily, "Apologize!"
The surrounding crowd was stunned, as no one expected anyone to dare hit Qiao Weiyue, an A-list star with the backing of a powerful figure. Hitting her would surely lead to trouble.
"You dare hit me?" Qiao Weiyue was also stunned. She raised her hand to slap back, but Li Se caught it.
"You vile creature, take your hand off me!" Qiao Weiyue tried to pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
Qiao Weiyue's bodyguards noticed the situation and immediately walked over.
"Please let go of Miss Qiao!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The two bodyguards shouted angrily.
Li Se released Qiao Weiyue and said calmly, "If you touch my woman, I can only act against you."
"You are audacious! You two vile creatures, how dare you hit me? Kneel down and apologize! And you, you slut, clean up the food on the ground, otherwise, you won't be leaving this financial building today!" Qiao Weiyue snarled.
When she bumped into Zhang Aimin earlier, the food in her hand had fallen to the ground. That food was still lying there quietly.
"Did you hear? Miss Qiao wants you to kneel down and eat the food on the ground!"
"You have a lot of nerve, daring to hit Miss Qiao? Hurry up and do as you're told, don't make things worse for yourselves!"
The two bodyguards spoke fiercely.
