Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Zhang Mingchao didn't think Wang Chenning was joking, which only made him more excited.

"Then I'll be counting on you, Brother Ning!"

If he could establish a connection with Li Fuzhen, his status within his family would rise even higher.

The losses he had suffered at Wang Chenning's hands would also be recouped.

A short while later, Yang Xiaodong also arrived.

When Wang Chenning had invited Zhang Mingchao, he had also made a special call to Yang Xiaodong, asking him to come join them.

Yang Xiaodong had long since changed his attitude toward Wang Chenning. In fact, Wang Chenning's recent performance abroad had filled him with admiration.

When Wang Chenning called to invite him to dinner, he didn't even think about refusing and came over immediately.

The moment he saw Wang Chenning, he began to flatter him relentlessly, calling him "Brother-in-law" over and over. It made Zhang Mingchao want to smash a plate over his head.

Wang Chenning was quite satisfied with Yang Xiaodong's change of heart.

This prospective brother-in-law of his was a straightforward person and not stupid, so Wang Chenning was willing to maintain a good relationship with him.

Yang Xiaodong was also quite furious about the slanderous comments about Wang Chenning online.

But amidst his anger, he also tactfully reminded Wang Chenning to handle these matters well, especially his relationships with the women around him, and not to give anyone any leverage.

Wang Chenning ignored Yang Xiaodong's words and started talking about his outlook on pharmaceutical investments and his future plans.

Wang Chenning told Yang Xiaodong and Zhang Mingchao that he was currently collaborating with Luo Yuqing and Yang Xiaofei in the medical industry. However, he explained that Yang Xiaofei and Luo Yuqing were only cooperating with him on one or two fronts. With their current capabilities, they couldn't produce everything he could bring to the table. In other words, they weren't equipped to take on all of his projects.

Therefore, he needed to find other partners.

For his foreign partners, he had temporarily chosen Li Fuzhen and her aunt, along with the Pu and Tian families. In the future, he would expand to new partners, continually adding more from both home and abroad.

Wang Chenning's words, which amounted to an invitation, made both Zhang Mingchao and Yang Xiaodong incredibly excited. They knew very well how profitable the pharmaceutical industry was, and they knew even better just how large the domestic market could become with Wang Chenning's current influence in the world of traditional medicine.

"Brother Ning, you have to give us a chance!" Zhang Mingchao made his request directly. "If you're starting a new company, let us invest a little and give us some shares."

Yang Xiaodong chimed in, "Brother-in-law, I want to get involved too. My grandpa and my sister have always thought I'm just a good-for-nothing playboy. I want to achieve something and make them see me in a new light."

"We can talk about all that. There's no rush. We'll take it slow," Wang Chenning said, naturally not refusing them.

After dinner, Zhang Mingchao left first, while Yang Xiaodong lingered behind.

He was hoping to receive treatment from Wang Chenning—and to be bestowed with some of his medicine.

Wang Chenning had treated him once before going abroad, and the effects had been immediate and dramatic.

The medicine Wang Chenning had given him had also worked wonders.

For this reason alone, never mind anything else, Yang Xiaodong had to suck up to Wang Chenning.

With Wang Chenning around, he would no longer have to worry about being willing in spirit but weak in the flesh when he met a beautiful woman.

Wang Chenning didn't disappoint him. He performed acupuncture on him for over twenty minutes until Yang Xiaodong felt a noticeable effect, and then gave him two pills.

Yang Xiaodong thanked Wang Chenning profusely and said he would have to come and hang out with him more often.

"Just don't make me angry in the future," Wang Chenning said with a grin, delivering a very real threat. "If you piss me off, I definitely won't treat you or give you any more medicine!"

Yang Xiaodong froze for a second, then immediately put on a fawning smile and replied, "Of course I wouldn't make you angry, Brother-in-law! If you need my help with anything in the future, just say the word."

After taking care of these matters, Wang Chenning went to treat Ling Weiguo.

Ling Weiguo was very pleased that Wang Chenning had come to treat him right after returning to the country.

After receiving Wang Chenning's treatment, Ling Weiguo felt his body's coordination improving, and he was filled with confidence that he would make a full recovery.

Seeing Wang Chenning again, he was all smiles, praising him nonstop for performing a great service for the nation on his recent trip abroad and for helping them out in a big way.

"If you hadn't intervened, we might have lost personnel," Ling Weiguo said, explaining the significance of the operation to Wang Chenning from a different perspective.

He told Wang Chenning that eliminating those key figures would prevent them from suffering even greater losses.

"Besides, it taught our adversaries a lesson. They'll likely be more wary of us now."

"It was nothing, and besides, I recruited two pretty decent people out of it." Wang Chenning told Ling Weiguo about Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu. He knew Elder Ling was already aware of the matter, so he didn't hide anything.

"Those two are not people that just anyone can handle." Speaking of Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu, Ling Weiguo's brow furrowed slightly. "If they ever got out of control, the destruction they could cause would be staggering. Are you sure you can keep them in check?"

"Right now, I'm controlling them with drugs. If they don't take my specially made antidote within the specified time, they'll experience a fate worse than death. The feeling is relentless and cannot be alleviated, eventually leading to death. They tried it once and never dared to again. I've mixed new psychoactive drugs into their antidote, along with my own genes. As long as they keep taking it, it will be impossible for them to escape my control. They will have no choice but to obey my every command."

After this brief explanation, Wang Chenning stated bluntly, "I don't have many capable people around me, but I definitely have things that need to be done in the shadows. So, I need them to work for me, even risk their lives. I can guarantee I'll keep them under control and not let them do anything to harm our interests. In fact, in special circumstances, I can even have them fight for the interests of Huaxia!"

"Don't tell anyone else about this. I trust that you can keep them under control." Ling Weiguo dropped the subject of Wang Liqing and Wang Liyu. "If you need manpower, I can recommend some people to you. In a few days, we'll have a batch of team members retiring. If you're interested, you can have first pick. Their skills and character are beyond question. As long as you don't ask them to do anything illegal, they certainly won't disappoint you."

"Then thank you, Uncle Ling!" Wang Chenning was naturally overjoyed. Lei Danyun had already mentioned this to him a few days ago, but with Ling Weiguo bringing it up again today, it was now set in stone.

"I'll have Wu Ziyue contact you about it when the time comes." Ling Weiguo then asked Wang Chenning if he was willing to become an unofficial member of their team. "We'll give you an official status, but you can go about your own business most of the time and just help us out when it's critical. Are you interested?"

Ling Weiguo's words made Wang Chenning's eyes go wide.
