Urban Genius Divine Doctor

"Do you really think you're worth that much?" Wang Chenning began to lay out the figures for Li Yanxian. "If my joint ventures in South Korea and Japan were fully operational, a conservative estimate would be a hundred billion US dollars in revenue within five years. From what I know, the Shanxing Group's profits last year were less than fifty billion US dollars. An annual profit of twenty billion US dollars... that should be enough to make the Shanxing Group's directors sit up and take notice, don't you think?"

Li Yanxian's eyes widened. "You're that optimistic?"

Wang Chenning shook his head. "It's not optimism. It's a fact."

Li Yanxian asked again, "Then how much did you make in the years before this?"

"Before, I was lying low, cultivating my Inner Power!" Wang Chenning said with a laugh. "I came to Yandu because I felt I was finally ready to make a name for myself. Coming from Chang'an to Yandu was a huge step for me, but then I discovered I'd overestimated everyone else."

"Yeah, right!" Li Yanxian said with a scornful look, then added meaningfully, "I've actually been very curious. I'd never heard of you before this year, but right after the New Year, you suddenly became famous. You aren't like something out of a novel... a reincarnator, are you?"

"You're so smart, you guessed it!" Wang Chenning gave Li Yanxian a thumbs-up. "A woman of both beauty and brains. Truly remarkable!"

"Ugh, gross!" Now that Wang Chenning had said it, Li Yanxian didn't believe him. She also thought reincarnation was impossible, so she pressed on. "I know there must be another reason. Come on, tell me!"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you!" Wang Chenning reached out and caressed Li Yanxian's delicate cheek. "Didn't I just tell you? I was cultivating my Inner Power. You can think of it as the kind from martial arts novels, or you can take it to mean I was working hard, arming myself with knowledge. For the past few years, I was completely focused on traditional medicine without any distractions, and I finally made a breakthrough. After that, I came out to join this glamorous world. You know, before I came to Yandu, I had never even held a girl's hand!"

"For real?" Li Yanxian's eyes flew open. "You mean... you still have your first kiss and lots of other firsts?"

Wang Chenning didn't answer, simply gazing at Li Yanxian with a faint smile.

A sudden excitement seized Li Yanxian. She leaned forward, pulled Wang Chenning's head toward her, and kissed him.

They had shared a few kisses before, but none had been particularly passionate. They were all just Wang Chenning's tricks, stolen in surprise attacks.

Li Yanxian had probably never kissed a man before. Her technique was clumsy, and she had always been a little resistant, so it had never felt very good for either of them.

But this time, with her taking the initiative, it felt completely different.

A few minutes later, Li Yanxian pulled away, panting. She wiped her mouth a couple of times, then asked Wang Chenning with a charming blush, "So, does that mean you agree?"

"I don't have a problem with it. The real issue is your aunt, Li Fuzhen," Wang Chenning said, smiling as he looked at Li Yanxian's flushed, charming face. "As long as you can convince her, I can put you in charge of all the joint ventures in South Korea."

Both Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian had their sights set on him, which made it clear to Wang Chenning that the internal power struggles at Shanxing Group were fierce.

'Trying to break into the group's traditional industries would definitely be difficult.'

'Even Li Fuzhen could only manage Shanxing Group's hotel and tourism industries; she had a hard time getting a foothold in other areas. It would be even more difficult for Li Yanxian, who was still just a student!'

'If they wanted to achieve something astounding, they had to find an unconventional path.'

'It was no wonder that he, this dark horse, had caught the attention of both the aunt and niece, Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian.'

'Of course, in Li Fuzhen's case, simply giving her a sense of bliss was enough to satisfy her. The business ventures were secondary.'

Wang Chenning believed that any woman he had been intimate with was the same, including Luo Yuqing and Zhao Xiao'an.

'In the future, Yang Xiaofei, Yang Xiaofu, Zheng Qiuhang, Li Yanxian, and the others would surely be the same.'

Now more than ever, Wang Chenning believed in the truth of that saying by Zhang Ailing.

'The surest path to a woman's soul was indeed that one.'

"You have to help me convince Li Fuzhen!" Li Yanxian began to wheedle. "Brother Chenning, I believe in you! I know you can convince my aunt. You've helped her so much; she'll listen to you."

"Hah! 'Brother'?" Wang Chenning swatted her hand away. "I call your aunt 'sis.' By that logic, shouldn't you be calling me 'uncle'?"

"Uncle Chenning!" Li Yanxian called out obediently, just as he'd asked. She grabbed his hand again, pouting. "I know you're the best. You'll definitely help me, right?"

Wang Chenning shook her hand off. "I don't fall for these insubstantial, sweet-talk attacks. If you want to make a move, make a real one!"

Unexpectedly, Li Yanxian took him at his word and kissed him again.

But just as Wang Chenning's hands began to wander, she slipped away.

"Hmph. I'll only give you what you want after you help me get my business done!" she said, shooting him an impossibly alluring glance. "It's getting late. I'm going to bed. Good night!"

Wang Chenning didn't get up to stop her, letting her go.

Zhao Xiao'an and Li Yanxian were both young and loved to sleep in. Li Fuzhen, however, was much older and needed far less sleep than the two young beauties. She was up very early.

After waking up, she sent a message to Wang Chenning, asking if he was awake yet.

Wang Chenning didn't sleep much, but his sleep quality was excellent. Four or five hours of deep sleep a day was all he needed to fully recover his energy.

He was already awake when Li Fuzhen's message came in.

"Just up," he replied with two words.

"Li Yanxian is still sound asleep in the next room. Can I come over and see you?" she asked, adding a few blushing emojis before sending another message: "Were you with Zhao Xiao'an last night?"

"Then come on over for some 'morning exercise'," Wang Chenning replied, giving her the green light.

Soon, Li Fuzhen arrived.

Without hesitation, Wang Chenning got right down to business with her.

Wang Chenning's directness was a pleasant surprise for Li Fuzhen, who had been feeling a bit anxious.

After getting what she'd come for, she didn't even bother to tidy herself up before fleeing back to her own room.

"On this trip, I'll help you get Li Yanxian!" she messaged Wang Chenning after returning to her room. "How about this: come to our room tonight. First, you can help me 'tune up my body,' and then you can help her. I'll create an opportunity for you. I can tell she's fallen for you, so you can be a little bolder. Even if she's hesitant, with your abilities, she'll submit to you!"

Wang Chenning didn't reply, so Li Fuzhen sent another message: "Little brother, doesn't it feel wonderful, having the three of us accompany you through Jiangnan? Hee hee. Once the house by West Lake is ready, I'll come to Huaxia often, and I'll bring Li Yanxian to you. Better yet, let her bear your child. Then, your influence in South Korea will be untouchable!"
