“Alright, how much is the design fee?”
“Design fee?” Tian Yuantu replied. “I’m not going to take your money for this small matter.”
“Okay then. Let’s meet up with Mingbao and the others some other day. It’s my treat.”
“Sure.”
After staying on the hill for more than an hour, Tian Yuantu and his wife left.
The refreshing feeling disappeared immediately when they started to descend Nanshan Hill. The air became a lot hotter. The distance was just about 10 meters on the same mountain, but Tian Yuantu felt like he was under two different skies.
“How do you think he did it?”
“Perhaps it has something to do with the plants?” Xu Jiahui replied.
“He’s a young man who always surprises people.” This was Tian Yuantu’s comment about Wang Yao when he was having a conversation with his wife a few months ago.
Now, it seemed that his judgment was correct.
In the car, before they could get back to Lianshan County, Tian Yuantu’s mobile phone rang. He was slightly stunned when he saw the caller ID.
“Hello, President Sun.”
The caller was Sun Zhengrong.
“Yuantu, are you busy at the moment?” On the other end of the phone, Sun Zhengrong sounded unusually gentle and friendly. Tian Yuantu thought he had heard it wrong.
He knew very well how domineering the prestigious President Sun was in Dao City. His stratagems were aggressive and he never changed his tone. It was not the first time that they had contacted each other. It was, however, Tian Yuantu’s first time to hear such a tone from President Sun.
“You’re driving. I’ll call you later then.”
“I’ll return your call in a moment.”
After the phone call, Tian Yuantu felt very confused. Why would President Sun call me all of a sudden? Was there something wrong?
“Who was it?” Xu Jiahui asked.
“Sun Zhengrong.”
“Him? What did he call you for?”
“I don’t know.”
Both of them were very baffled. No matter what they thought, they probably would not be able to associate this matter together with Wang Yao. In fact, Sun Zhengrong was still in Jing City. He had been thinking about Wang Yao a lot these past few days. Although he knew that Wang Yao was in Lianshan County, Lianshan County was neither big nor small. Through his indirect sources, he knew that Dr. Wang lived like a hermit and did not want to be disturbed by strangers. He thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that Wang Yao went to Dao City with Tian Yuantu before. Hence, he immediately gave Tian Yuantu a call.
“Wang Yao?”
After hearing the name when Tian Yuantu returned Sun Zhengrong’s call, Tian Yuantu instantly understood Sun Zhengrong’s intention behind calling him.
He wanted to ask Wang Yao to treat his son.
“Yes, I know him. I’ll help you find out where he stays. Alright, alright.” Tian Yuantu did not reveal where Wang Yao was staying to Sun Zhengrong.
After hanging up, Tian Yuantu called Wang Yao right away and told him about it.
“Don’t tell him for the time being,” Wang Yao said after contemplating for a while. “I apologize. This matter puts you in an awkward position.”
“It’s okay,” Tian Yuantu replied with a laugh.
To Tian Yuantu’s slight surprise, after hearing his reply, Sun Zhengrong, on the other end of the phone, did not sound dissatisfied at all. It seemed that he had already guessed the result.
Looks like I need to make a trip to Lianshan County as soon as possible. Sun Zhengrong looked out at the bustling Jing City outside through the glass window.
It’s no better here than Dao City. This was Wang Yao’s opinion as well.
In the afternoon, Wang Yao carefully read the two design proposals brought by Tian Yuantu in the cottage. After comparing several times, Wang Yao directly gave up on the proposal designed by Tian Yuantu’s internal personnel. Professor Lu was indeed a well-known figure in this industry. His designs were exceptional. Wang Yao thought about it carefully and made some modifications based on the aspects of medication and the Five Lines according to the knowledge he obtained through the system.
“Okay, that’s it!”
After the proposal was finalized, the next step was to start the construction. Tian Yuantu was naturally asked to do it.
Demolishing the old houses, laying the foundations, and building new houses; this amount of work was nothing to Jiahui Group’s construction team.
When the medical center is opened, I don’t have to run around anymore.
At night, Wang Mingbao returned to the village and specifically went to Wang Yao’s house.
The buddies chatted for quite some time.
“Are you free tomorrow?”
“I plan to go into town tomorrow morning to see how Wei Hai and Kang are recovering from their illnesses and to drop by Brother Zhao Tian’s company.”
He had asked Wang Mingbao to meet up in Lianshan County the next morning.
His life had become peaceful again.
Early morning the next day, he practiced on the hilltop as usual and carefully tidied up the herbal field. Then, he informed San Xian and Daxia of his travels. After activating the battle array, he went down the hill. Afterwards, he let his family know where he was going, and drove out to Lianshan County.
He went to Tian Yuantu’s company first and returned the design proposal to him. Wang Yao also told him about the small changes he made to the proposal.
“We’ll do it this way then. Let’s begin the construction after picking a good day!” Tian Yuantu said.
“Sure. Are you free at noon?”
“Yes. Now that you’re here, I’ll put everything else aside, no matter how important they are,” Tian Yuantu replied with a smile.
Lately, not only did his condition start to improve, his company and his position in it were also doing well. This, in turn, made him more relaxed. It was a complementary effect.
“We’ll meet at the usual spot then?”
“The usual spot is good.”
After staying at Tian Yuantu’s company for a while, he went to Wang Mingbao’s place. He had already waited for Wang Yao in the shop. Wei Hai had also arrived a while ago.
Wei Hai looked very well. His face was rosy and lustrous. His eyes were bright and he was full of energy when he spoke.
“Brother Wei, you look very good,” noticed Wang Yao.
“Yes. I also feel that my spirit lately is excellent. My appetite is great and I have been falling asleep easily. I feel very healthy!” Wei Hai said with a smile, “Why don’t you take another look?”
“Sure.”
In fact, just by smelling and listening, Wang Yao could already roughly judge that Wei Hai’s illness was almost cured.
He sat down and checked Wei Hai’s pulse.
“Well, you’re nearly healed.”
He was indeed almost cured. The poisonous insects in the deepest part of the organs, however, had not been removed completely.
“With your current physical fitness, you can try to increase the dosage.”
Wang Yao had this thought long ago. He had tried it, but the effect was poor. Not only did it not produce the expected effect, it almost killed him. It was different this time.
“Okay. I’ll listen to you,” Wei Hai replied. He had nothing else to say regarding this matter.
After a short while, Li Maoshuang, Zhou Xiong, and his son had also arrived.
The friends whom Wang Yao met in less than a year were mostly all here.
Zhou Wukang’s illness was also recovering well. The spirit of the child was also very strong.
“How was it? Did the trip to Jing City go well?”
“It’s alright. It went quite well.”
They got together and chatted while laughing. They also had lunch together at noon. This was probably the fabled “going out with some friends for a drink.”
It was a delightful morning, unlike in Jing City, where there was no one to talk to. Despite their friendship, when talking with Chen Ying, there were still some things which Wang Yao could not say.
“You’re not going to rush out again, are you?” Wei Hai asked with a smile.
“Not for the time being. The construction on the land I bought has recently started, however.”
“The medical center?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll congratulate you in advance then.”
“Thank you.”
After lunch, Wang Yao was not in a hurry to go back. They went to Wei Hai’s teahouse and sat for a while.
There was a pot of tea and a few interesting things to talk about.
It was past four o’clock in the afternoon when Wang Yao returned home.
It was already July. The hottest part of summer was about to start. The weather was very stuffy, making people feel very uncomfortable. Of course, this was not a problem to Wang Yao. With his current physical fitness, neither the heat nor cold could invade his body.
After returning home, he left his car and went up the hill. When he arrived at Nanshan Hill, he happened to meet two people from the same village, who led a man in his fifties up to wander around the hill. The man stopped after walking for a while, looking at the things in his hands.
Huh? Wang Yao’s vision was extraordinary. He could see very clearly that the older man was holding a compass, which was a professional tool used in Feng Shui.
“This place is alright. However, it only brings luck to females but not males,” the man dressed in traditional Chinese attire said.
“Why don’t you take another look to see if there’s a better place?”
“Okay.” The middle-aged man looked around and finally fixed his gaze on a piece of lush, green land.
