“Sword, catch…”
Wan Yunting, who was in the backyard lawn at the time, eating a steamed bun in one hand, saw Duan Yingying, dressed in training clothes, looking half-asleep and looking unwillingly over. He tossed a Tai Chi sword, used for training, to her. She caught it, pouted, and asked, “What should I practice?”
“Wuliang Swordplay, practice it a hundred times!” Wan Yunting sat down, crossed his legs, and said.
“What, a hundred times? Are you crazy?”
Duan Yingying, who had just drawn her long sword, heard him and her sleep-deprived eyes widened. She turned back to look at this pervert in disbelief. Wan Yunting glared at her and snorted, “Is a hundred times a lot? Your senior brothers and sisters practice their swordplay, swinging their swords no less than a thousand times a day. Do they complain about it much?”
“Look at you. You grew up in the sect but are only in the early stage of Hua Jin. Are you not ashamed to say that?”
Duan Yingying’s cheeks puffed up, and she retorted with a pout, “I’m not used to practicing martial arts. This is not my major. What’s there to be ashamed of? I’m not practicing anymore.”
As she spoke, the girl dropped the long sword in her hand and turned to leave angrily. But Wan Yunting shouted, “What, you don’t want to avenge your father anymore?”
These words made Duan Yingying stop in her tracks. Wan Yunting got up from behind her and said, “Don’t forget, your father was poisoned and killed by Sima Boyong. Don’t you want to personally kill your enemy one day?”
Duan Yingying turned her head, her large eyes already red, staring fixedly at Wan Yunting. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she tightly pursed her red lips. Of course, she wanted to avenge her father.
Wan Yunting’s face turned stern, and he said sharply, “If you want revenge, then first improve your own skills. I don’t want to be in a situation where you can’t kill your enemy, and instead kill someone else. Pick up your sword and practice it a hundred times. Hurry!”
This time, Wan Yunting’s words spurred Duan Yingying’s resolve. Although very unwilling, she desperately wanted to be able to kill Sima Boyong one day and avenge her father. So, gritting her teeth, she went forward, picked up the Tai Chi sword from the grass again, and began practicing the Wuliang Swordplay of the Wuliang Daoist Temple…
Seeing that he had provoked her with Sima Boyong, Wan Yunting secretly smiled. He sat down again, crossed his legs, and watched Duan Yingying practice her swordplay while eating breakfast. He would loudly scold her for any improper movements. If she truly couldn’t understand, he would go up and demonstrate personally, teaching her until her movements were correct…
“I’m going to work. You practice well. You must practice it a hundred times. I’ll have Aunt Lan keep an eye on you. If you dare to slack off, just wait and see how I deal with you when I get back. Do you hear me?” Wan Yunting said sternly.
Swish, swish…
Duan Yingying, who was swinging her sword, was already sweating profusely, her training uniform soaked with sweat. Hearing this scoundrel’s words, Duan Yingying bit her lip, glared at Wan Yunting fiercely with her big eyes, and snorted coldly, “Got it.”
“Practice well, and make sure your movements are standard. If any movement is not correct when I check tonight, you won’t get to eat dinner,” Wan Yunting said sternly, seeing her dare to glare at him. Without saying more, he entered the villa.
Duan Yingying, swinging her long sword, looked at his back. Not daring to speak out, she could only mouth curses: “Bastard, I’ll beat your ass until it’s bruised sooner or later…”
Seeing Huang Guilan tidying up the living room, Wan Yunting smiled and said, “Aunt Lan, make her something delicious for lunch, and also boil some sweet soup for her.”
“Okay, Mr. Wan.”
Huang Guilan nodded with a smile, knowing that Wan Yunting was a person with a harsh exterior but a soft heart.
After his instructions, Wan Yunting drove directly to the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine department to work. As soon as he greeted Sister Yan at the front desk, Jin Xiuwen walked in, shouting, “Old Wan…”
Wan Yunting turned to look at him, “Why are you here?”
Jin Xiuwen rubbed his stomach with his hand and chuckled, “My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, so I’ve come to see Qiu Yue.”
Wan Yunting pointed at him, smiled, and shook his head, waving his hand, “Then hurry upstairs.”
“You got it.”
Jin Xiuwen trotted upstairs. Wan Yunting saw Zhou Xiaomin also following, and he smiled, “Xiaomin, how has your work been recently?”
Zhou Xiaomin looked at him with excitement and gratitude, nodding and saying, “Thank you for your concern, President Wan. My work is going well. President Jin teaches me a lot.”
“That’s good.”
Wan Yunting was waiting for Yang Kuan to come for a consultation. Feeling idle, he chatted with Zhou Xiaomin for a bit longer, then asked, “By the way, I heard your father’s health isn’t good. Why don’t you bring him over to live here, or perhaps bring him here for me to see?”
“Well, I was just about to talk to you about this, President Wan.”
Zhou Xiaomin was excited, but her expression was a little embarrassed. She said, “I sold one of your prescriptions last time, Mr. Wan. In a couple of days, I’ll take leave and go back to my hometown to bring my dad over. I might trouble you to take a look at his illness then.”
Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled, “It was me who asked your mother to sell the prescription, so don’t be embarrassed. If your father’s health isn’t good, then hurry up and bring him over.”
“Okay, thank you, President Wan, thank you so much for helping my family so much…”
Zhou Xiaomin bowed to Wan Yunting emotionally, because at her most helpless, Wan Yunting had stepped in to help her and even saved her mother. Now he had arranged for her mother to work in his home, with better treatment than she would have received as a nanny in other families. Therefore, Zhou Xiaomin was extremely grateful.
“Alright, don’t be so polite. If you really want to thank me, then work hard and create more value to repay me,” Wan Yunting said, patting her arm lightly and joking.
“Yes, I will.”
However, Zhou Xiaomin’s gaze was firm, and she firmly remembered his words…
And in the future, through her own unremitting efforts, she would indeed create more value for Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi’s company, becoming a capable female CEO!
These were all matters for later. Seeing Yang Kuan and his son arrive, Wan Yunting took them upstairs to the consultation room for treatment…
In the adjacent consultation room, Jin Xiuwen was using his stomach discomfort as an excuse to pester Dai Qiuyue.
Facing this man who was pursuing her with sheer persistence, Dai Qiuyue was initially very disgusted. However, over this period, she had learned a little about Jin Xiuwen’s character. Although he wasn’t an exceptionally good man, Dai Qiuyue could see that he was sincere towards her.
Therefore, Dai Qiuyue’s impression of Jin Xiuwen had improved considerably, and she no longer maintained a consistently cold demeanor towards him. However, it was impossible for her to immediately agree to a relationship with him.
But for Jin Xiuwen, this was at least a huge step forward. After leaving Dai Qiuyue’s consultation room, he went to the adjacent Wan Yunting’s consultation room to show off, boasting with a smile, “Old Wan, I’m telling you, I’ll definitely bring Qiu Yue back to my hometown for the New Year before the end of the year.”
Wan Yunting rolled his eyes and smiled, “Just boasting.”
“Boasting what? Qiu Yue just said that we’ll start by being friends,” Jin Xiuwen continued to show off.
“Is that so.” kanδん
Wan Yunting widened his eyes, looking at the smug Jin Xiuwen with newfound admiration, and smiled, “It seems there’s an opportunity then.”
“Indeed.”
Jin Xiuwen proudly turned his head, only to see Dai Qiuyue standing at the door of the consultation room with a dark expression, looking at him with deadly eyes. This scared Jin Xiuwen into a shiver, and he quickly ran out, “Qiu Yue, listen to my explanation…”
Seeing this scene, Wan Yunting couldn’t help but shake his head with a laugh, “What a character…”
At noon, Wan Yunting was about to go to work at the association when Su Ke’er came in again with packed lunch boxes, smiling cutely, “Brother Yunting, it’s lunch time.”
Wan Yunting, who was taking off his white coat, turned to look at her. Seeing the girl carrying two packed lunch boxes and starting to set them on the table, he smiled and said, “I saw there was braised salted fish with eggplant, so I got two, and also a portion of beer duck…”
Wan Yunting, with a slight sigh, had no choice but to sit down. Su Ke’er handed him a bowl of soup, saying, “This soup is good. The boss said it’s made with old duck broth…”
“Hmm, thank you.”
Wan Yunting accepted the soup with a smile, then sat down and ate with her…
Meanwhile, at the employee dining hall of Chaoting Group, it was lunchtime, and employees were dining. Fang Yanxi, along with her secretary Xiao Qi, also came to eat. Suddenly, she overheard the employees discussing some gossip.
Fang Yanxi raised an eyebrow in confusion, and Xiao Qi quickly explained to her, “President Fang, you don’t know yet? Today, there’s big news from the marketing department. Manager Bai and a female employee in his department are having an affair, and she’s reportedly pregnant!”
“But Manager Bai asked the female employee to have an abortion, and the female employee, out of anger, complained in their department’s WeChat group, exposing the matter. Now everyone in the company is discussing this.”
“Why should she have an abortion?”
Fang Yanxi sounded a little confused, saying, “The company doesn’t have any rules against employees dating.”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoqi glanced around, then leaned in and whispered to Fang Yanxi, “It’s not that Manager Bai doesn’t want to date. I heard that Manager Bai is a scumbag. He has relationships with several female employees in his department! I also heard that Manager Bai has a girlfriend, and she seems to be a doctor!”
Upon hearing this news, Fang Yanxi looked surprised. Bai Minglang seemed like a decent man, especially in his work. Fang Yanxi quite admired him, but she didn’t expect him to be such a scumbag in private.
“Who did you hear this from? Can these things be true? If it’s just rumors, don’t spread them around recklessly, so as not to slander others,” Fang Yanxi said to Lin Xiaoqi.
“Oh, President Fang, it’s from people in their department. It’s almost certainly true,” Xiao Qi said earnestly.
Just then, Fang Yanxi saw Bai Minglang walking over with his meal, so she stopped Xiao Qi’s gossip. Bai Minglang’s appearance also drew the attention of the surrounding employees, but he acted as if nothing had happened, walking directly towards Fang Yanxi with a gentle smile, “President Fang, can I sit down and eat with you?”
“Mm…”
Fang Yanxi nodded slightly and continued eating.
Lin Xiaoqi, sitting beside her, glanced at Bai Minglang sitting opposite her and then buried her head in her food.
Bai Minglang smiled, sat down, and while eating, he proactively chatted with Fang Yanxi about several business topics he was working on, as if the gossip and rumors had no effect on him at all…
