"Young man, despite your youth, you were able to awaken someone who had fainted from pain with just a few golden needles. If this is the wonder of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then I must admit my understanding of it was too superficial before."
Doctor Huang, standing beside them, had witnessed the entire process of Du Fei's treatment of Chen Huizhu from start to finish.
Seeing Chen Huizhu wake up and no longer show any signs of pain, he was utterly stunned.
After regaining his composure, Doctor Huang spoke to Du Fei with great admiration.
Before witnessing Du Fei's miraculous acupuncture, Doctor Huang had always believed that TCM was only capable of treating minor ailments and prided itself on being an ancient Chinese tradition.
However, in this day and age, Western hospitals were prevalent worldwide, proving that Western medicine was more advanced and effective than TCM.
But all of this changed after Doctor Huang witnessed Du Fei's TCM acupuncture.
"Actually, there are many skilled doctors within Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it is easy to learn and difficult to master, which is why there are fewer and fewer practitioners nowadays. So, it's understandable that your knowledge is limited, Doctor Huang."
Du Fei spoke as he removed the golden needles from Chen Huizhu and placed them back into his needle bag.
At this moment, Yu Wenjing, being comforted by Chen Huizhu, finally calmed down.
"Brother Fei, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I really don't know what I would have done."
Yu Wenjing was extremely grateful to Du Fei for saving her mother.
She then remembered that Du Fei was introduced by Du Dabao and couldn't help but glance at Du Dabao, feeling that her choice was correct and that Brother Dabao truly cared about her.
"You're welcome, it was just a small favor. As long as Auntie is well, that's all that matters."
Du Fei nodded.
Afterward, Doctor Huang informed everyone that he had other matters to attend to and needed to leave.
Before departing, Doctor Huang once again expressed his admiration to Du Fei and also asked for Du Fei's contact information.
In his words, although he was a Western doctor, after witnessing Du Fei's acupuncture skills, he had suddenly become very interested in TCM and wanted to ask Du Fei for guidance sometime.
Du Fei happily agreed, seeing it as an opportunity for more people to understand TCM.
At this point, even Lian Haichao felt awkward staying any longer and left the ward with Doctor Huang.
"Excuse me, I need to take a call. By the way, Dabao, I'll wait for you in the car later."
Du Fei's phone rang, and as he walked towards the ward door, he said to Du Dabao.
Du Dabao nodded.
Soon, only Yu Wenjing, her mother, and Du Dabao remained in the ward.
"Mom."
Yu Wenjing looked at Du Dabao.
Chen Huizhu: "What is it?"
"Mom, this matter is thanks to Brother Dabao. You spoke so harshly to him before, but now, shouldn't you..."
Her mother's illness was cured, but Yu Wenjing, as a daughter, felt a little uncomfortable with the harsh words her mother had used to criticize Du Dabao previously.
In Yu Wenjing's opinion, Brother Dabao had been so attentive to her mother, only to be met with sarcasm and mockery. Now that Du Fei, whom he had invited, had cured her mother's illness, Chen Huizhu should at least say a few words of thanks.
"What is it? He's your boyfriend, and I'm his elder. Even if he invited someone to treat me, it's only natural."
Although Chen Huizhu knew very well that she had been cured thanks to Du Dabao inviting Du Fei, her attitude towards Du Dabao had always been poor. It was difficult for her to say a few polite words now.
"Mom! You're simply..."
"Wenjing, Auntie is right. I am your boyfriend, and this is something I should do. Alright, you help Auntie pack, and I'll go outside to handle Auntie's discharge procedures."
Hearing her mother stubbornly refuse to say polite words, Yu Wenjing was furious and about to argue with Chen Huizhu again.
At this moment, Du Dabao, who was standing by, quickly stopped her.
About fifteen minutes later, Yu Wenjing had packed for Chen Huizhu, and Du Dabao had also completed the discharge procedures.
As soon as he entered, he picked up all the belongings without a word.
The three of them walked and soon arrived at the parking lot.
Du Dabao opened the trunk and let Yu Wenjing and Chen Huizhu in. He put down the luggage and then sat in the front passenger seat.
...
"What? Okay, I'll be there immediately."
Liu Shishi was in a meeting when she suddenly received a call, and her expression turned grim.
After hanging up, Liu Shishi told the two company directors in front of her that she had to go out for something.
Immediately after, Liu Shishi, accompanied by her secretary, hurried out of the company.
"Ms. Liu, what happened?"
Liu Shishi's secretary, Xu Ying, seeing Liu Shishi's anxious expression, couldn't help but ask.
Liu Shishi rubbed her temples with her hand and told Xu Ying the content of the phone call.
It turned out that the person who had called Liu Shishi was the person in charge of the factory in the development zone in Rongcheng.
He informed Liu Shishi that a group of unsavory individuals were blocking the factory entrance, claiming that the dump trucks entering and exiting the factory had damaged their crops and demanding fifty thousand yuan in compensation.
"Ah! These people are so brazen. Then let's call the police quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying realized that these unsavory individuals were after money.
Demanding fifty thousand yuan right off the bat, they were indeed very bold.
"There are many local residents in the development zone. I had a general understanding of this before. Calling the police will only solve the problem temporarily. The process of building the factory will take a long time. We must solve the problem fundamentally. I'll go and see first."
Liu Shishi's thoughts differed from Xu Ying's.
Xu Ying was just a secretary, and her approach was simple and direct.
However, Liu Shishi, as the head of the company, had to consider the bigger picture.
The construction of the factory was of crucial importance to her plan, so time was of the essence.
She had visited some factories in the development zone before, and they had encountered similar problems during their construction.
Calling the police at the time did resolve the issue, but those people were locals. As soon as the police arrived, they would easily present some crops to fool them, making it difficult to arrest them directly, and it could only be resolved through civil mediation.
After a few rounds of this, the construction timelines of those factories were significantly delayed.
Later, there was even malicious sabotage, but since no one was caught, it could only be left unresolved.
Now that the same situation had occurred, Liu Shishi felt that she could not repeat the mistakes of those previous factories and allow those unsavory individuals to slow down the construction process for no reason.
"By the way, hand me my phone."
Liu Shishi said to Xu Ying beside her.
Xu Ying handed the phone to Liu Shishi, who then began to make a call.
"Du Fei, there's a problem at the factory. Are you with Dabao? Okay, then we'll meet at the factory later. Yes, I'll wait for you."
Remembering Du Fei's earlier instructions, Liu Shishi called him.
The car sped along the road, and soon, the sign for the development zone came into view.
