"Good heavens..."
Even Lin Xiaoqi, standing beside Fang Yanxi, covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide open, looking at Wan Yunting in disbelief as she heard Lucy speak.
Fang Yanxi, on the other hand, remained expressionless, as she had already guessed it!
"Impossible, isn't he just a TCM doctor? How could he be our Chairman..."
Xie Zhihao, realizing what was happening, shook his head repeatedly, refusing to believe it. "Miss Lucy, have you made a mistake?"
Lucy looked at him with cold, blue eyes and said, "Mr. Xie, I'm not in the mood for jokes. Also, I'd like to speak with you privately about the Wan Shi Da Group matter!"
Xie Zhihao's expression shifted slightly, his heart suddenly tightening. He forced an unnatural smile. "Miss Lucy, you should be talking to President Fang about the Wan Shi Da Group's affairs..."
"Mr. Xie, this is President Jiang's intention!"
Lucy's demeanor was imposing, especially as her blue eyes fixed on Xie Zhihao. "As far as I know, the Chairman of Wan Shi Da Group, Wang Tianrui, met with you privately in the United States before, correct!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Zhihao's face turned pale. His heart plummeted, and a chill ran down his spine. He hadn't expected that President Jiang and Lucy would already know about his private meeting with Wang Tianrui in the US!
"It seems you were the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes."
Wan Yunting took the last drag of his cigarette, then directly crushed the butt with his fingers. He looked at Xie Zhihao with cold eyes, and without hesitation, slapped him with his right hand. The ashes in his hand scattered onto Xie Zhihao's left cheek, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Xie..."
Secretary Ding Jie, seeing this, quickly rushed to help him up.
Lin Xiaoqi once again covered her mouth in shock, while Fang Yanxi frowned, not expecting the man to suddenly hit Xie Zhihao.
"You..."
Xie Zhihao clutched his left cheek, looking up at Wan Yunting with anger, his heart trembling.
The true identity of the Chairman of Zhao Ting Group had always been a mystery, unknown even to Xie Zhihao. Yet, to his utter surprise today, Fang Yanxi's boyfriend, Wan Yunting, was the Chairman.
"Kid, this slap is for your earlier nonsense. Get out."
Wan Yunting stood up, glared at Xie Zhihao with sharp eyes, and waved his hand.
"Take him away."
Lucy immediately called in two foreign bodyguards waiting outside the office door. They dragged Xie Zhihao away, followed by his secretary, Ding Jie, who looked desperate, knowing she and Xie Zhihao were completely finished.
After they had all left, Wan Yunting turned back to face Fang Yanxi. She stood before him, her expressionless face and cold eyes fixed on him. Neither of them spoke for a moment.
"Oh, President Fang, you two continue talking. I'll go do some work..."
Lin Xiaoqi, who had been standing by, finally reacted. She nodded repeatedly and quickly exited the office.
"Having fun?"
After Lin Xiaoqi closed the office door, Fang Yanxi looked at Wan Yunting with a cold gaze and said icily.
Wan Yunting's expression faltered. He turned to look at the woman with a cold face and smiled, "Yanxi, listen to me. I never intended to lie to you from the beginning..."
"Never intended?"
Fang Yanxi's pretty face flushed with anger. She glared at Wan Yunting and said, "Wan Yunting, you've been lying to me from the very start. Now you say you never intended to? Do you take me for a three-year-old child, someone to play tricks on?"
Seeing that the woman was truly angry, Wan Yunting forced a bitter smile. It was as he expected. "Yanxi, please calm down first. Can you let me explain?"
"You don't need to say anything."
Fang Yanxi immediately picked up her phone from the desk and her bag. She shot Wan Yunting a cold glare and said, "This company is yours now. You manage it yourself."
Seeing her fury, she coldly uttered this sentence, then turned and headed for the office door. Wan Yunting quickly went to grab her arm. "Yanxi, can't you just listen to me properly?"
"I don't want to hear you speak right now. Let go."
Fang Yanxi's face was cold. She violently shook off Wan Yunting's hand, opened the door without hesitation, and walked out.
"Yanxi..."
Wan Yunting chased her to the door. He watched as she entered the elevator, turned to give him a cold look, and pressed the button to close the elevator doors...
"Alas..."
Seeing this, Wan Yunting sighed helplessly. The reason he had revealed his identity as the Chairman of Zhao Ting Group today was that he knew this matter could not be hidden from Fang Yanxi forever, so he used this incident to publicly reveal his identity.
He had also anticipated the woman's strong reaction. Now, he could only wait for Fang Yanxi to calm down before going to explain to her.
Just then, his phone rang. Wan Yunting took it out and saw it was Jiang Wenhao calling. "Teacher, Lucy has already told me. I didn't expect that scoundrel Xie Zhihao to set up a trap behind the scenes for President Fang to fall into. This is my fault; I shouldn't have arranged for him to return to China as President Fang's deputy."
"Alright, you handle it. The most important thing now is to quell this matter and prevent public opinion from escalating and harming the company," Wan Yunting said as he pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.
"Yes, Teacher. As for President Fang, I believe in her ability to manage our company well," Jiang Wenhao said.
He was still unaware that Fang Yanxi was currently angry with Wan Yunting. "She knows I've been hiding things from her now, so she's upset. She probably won't be managing the company for a while. You should quickly find someone to take over and handle the company's affairs."
"Is that so."
Jiang Wenhao gave a wry smile and said, "Alright, I'll have Lucy stay in the country to manage the company. After I help you investigate that matter, I'll return to China."
"Good, be careful. Report any developments to me immediately," Wan Yunting said as the elevator doors opened, and he walked in. "Then that's all for now. I'm taking the elevator."
"Okay, Teacher..."
After they hung up, Jiang Wenhao called Lucy and asked her to temporarily take over as the acting CEO of the company to handle the current affairs of Wan Shi Da Group...
Wan Yunting left the company and drove directly to the TCM department of Southern Hospital.
The parents of young Jing, who had palmoplantar keratoderma, had called him earlier, arranging to see him in the afternoon. So, when Wan Yunting arrived at the TCM department, he was surrounded by nurses like Sister Yan, who were asking him questions. It wasn't until Jing and his parents arrived together that Wan Yunting led them to his consulting room on the second floor. "Jing, Uncle, please have a seat. I'll go wash my hands."
"Okay..."
Jing and his father sat down. Wan Yunting washed his hands and returned. He saw that Jing's hands had basically recovered. "Jing, do you still feel any discomfort in your hands or feet?"
"No more, Big Brother Wan."
Zhang Ruijing shook his head happily and held up his palms, smiling. "My hands aren't peeling anymore, and my feet are better too."
"Let me see..."
Wan Yunting sat down and examined his hands carefully. His palmoplantar keratoderma on both hands and feet had basically fully recovered. There were only faint scale-like marks on the skin, but that was not a big problem. "You've recovered very well, but you still need to use the ointment for another week to consolidate the results, and then you'll be completely recovered."
"Alright, Dr. Wan. We'll go down to get the ointment later." Zhang Ruijing's father nodded, smiling with great joy. "Dr. Wan, on behalf of my entire family, I thank you. Thank you for curing Jing's illness. Thank you..."
"No, Brother Zhang, please don't do this."
Seeing Jing's father bow to thank him, Wan Yunting quickly got up to support him and waved his hand, smiling. "Saving people and treating illnesses is our duty as doctors, so you don't need to do this."
Jing's father nodded excitedly and sighed. "This child's illness has always troubled our family. Now that he's recovered, the burden in our hearts is lifted."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile. "From now on, Jing can live like a normal person. This is a good thing."
"Yes, yes, thank you."
Jing and his father thanked him again and again.
"Dr. Wan..."
At this moment, a man entered with a woman. It was Zhang Wenxia and her husband, who suffered from skin laxity.
"Isn't that Jing?"
When Zhang Wenxia saw Jing, she immediately recalled when they were all patients at the Dou Yi competition at Huadu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and had met this child. He seemed to have palmoplantar keratoderma.
"Jing, your hands are all better!"
Zhang Wenxia looked at Zhang Ruijing's hands, which were now like a normal person's, no longer cracked and shedding skin as before.
"Yes, Sister Wenxia. I've been using the ointment prescribed by Big Brother Wan for two weeks, and my illness is already cured," Zhang Ruijing said, holding up his hands and smiling happily. He had become much more confident now.
"That's wonderful."
Zhang Wenxia was also happy for him. At the same time, she was happy inwardly because her skin laxity had visibly improved after the herbal fumigation therapy during this period. She had come today for a follow-up check-up with Wan Yunting.
"Well, Dr. Wan, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take Jing downstairs to get the medicine first," Jing's father said.
"Alright, Brother Zhang. Remember to have Jing continue using the medicine for another week when you get back, and then come back for a follow-up check-up," Wan Yunting said with a smile and a nod.
"Okay, okay. You two carry on..."
With that, Jing's father waved goodbye to Zhang Wenxia and her husband, and the father and son left Wan Yunting's consulting room and headed downstairs.
Next, Wan Yunting proceeded to examine Zhang Wenxia. Seeing that her skin had clearly improved, it indicated that the previous herbal fumigation therapy was effective. He instructed Zhang Wenxia to continue with it and also performed an acupuncture treatment for her.
He remained busy until four o'clock in the afternoon before seeing them and their spouses out.
"Xiao Wan, tidy up, and come with me for a meeting."
At this point, Jiang Yichun came over and called him to drive together to the office of the Lingnan Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a meeting. They were going to discuss matters regarding donations for the post-disaster reconstruction of Lingyun County and Fengshan County...
