Chapter 407: Chapter 407: An Attack by Innuendo

Wang Chenning clearly saw Miao Jianhang’s expression change.

It wasn’t just Miao Jianhang; the expressions of the others changed as well.

Luo Yuqing seemed to completely ignore this, speaking as if to herself. "We women, we’re born at a disadvantage. In many people’s eyes, we’re just accessories to men, or their prey. But now, everyone’s talking about gender equality, so things like this are bound to become less common. Mr. Dai, wouldn’t you agree?"

"Yes, of course! Miss Luo is right. Women hold up half the sky. Especially a woman like you, you have our utmost admiration. We’re truly humbled!" Dai Xingfeng was slightly awkward. He was well aware of Luo Yuqing’s identity and her temperament.

When this woman threw a tantrum, forget him—even people of a higher rank couldn’t handle her.

She was known as the "Demoness" of Yandu, a woman no rich wastrel would dare to cross. It wasn’t just the young masters; even their parents’ generation wouldn’t dare contend with her. How could people like them possibly dare to provoke her?

Hearing Luo Yuqing’s words, Yan Dongling grew uncertain. ’Should I stand up and expose Miao Jianhang?’

But when Luo Yuqing sat down after speaking, and since Wang Chenning and the others said nothing, she ultimately kept her mouth shut.

Dai Xingfeng knew who Luo Yuqing was, but some of the people with him did not. Seeing a beautiful young woman dare to speak so boldly in front of so many prominent figures, they were getting restless.

If Dai Xingfeng or any of the other leaders had shown the slightest hint of anger, they would have immediately jumped up to harshly reprimand Luo Yuqing.

But Dai Xingfeng showed no anger at all. In fact, he was being awkwardly apologetic. Seeing this, the others didn’t dare to act rashly.

Miao Jianhang also knew Luo Yuqing’s identity, and he was also aware of who Zhao Xiao’an, Yang Xiaofei, and Wang Chenning were. So, although he was fuming inside, he didn’t dare show it. As long as Luo Yuqing didn’t name him and Yan Dongling didn’t expose him, he would continue to play dumb.

After speaking up for Yan Dongling, Luo Yuqing didn’t press the issue further. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few jovial laughs to break the tension, Dai Xingfeng began making introductions.

Yang Xiaofei and Zhao Xiao’an had extraordinary backgrounds, and Wang Chenning was famous throughout Huaxia. Yet they were all very respectful toward Luo Yuqing, who in turn treated them like a senior elder. The two princesses of the Shanxing Group, Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian, were also respectful toward her. Although Dai Xingfeng’s subordinates hadn’t figured out Luo Yuqing’s exact identity, they could piece together the general picture.

Luo Yuqing’s status was clearly extraordinary. No wonder even Dai Xingfeng was being so cautious around her.

The awkward atmosphere in the private room gradually dissipated. Dai Xingfeng raised his glass and, as the host, offered a warm welcome to Luo Yuqing, Wang Chenning, Yang Xiaofei, Zhao Xiao’an, Li Fuzhen, and Li Yanxian. He hoped that Gusu’s culture, scenery, and investment climate would leave a good impression on them.

Wang Chenning raised his glass, drank half of it, and then picked up the conversation with a smile.

He lavished praise on Gusu’s urban development and economic growth, as well as the unique charm of several famous scenic spots.

He also thanked Yan Dongling again for her company, saying he wanted to have a private drink with her later.

Hearing this, Dai Xingfeng also glanced at Yan Dongling.

Yan Dongling seemed to understand the tactic Luo Yuqing and Wang Chenning were employing, so she continued to keep a low profile, barely saying a word.

The officials attending the reception today were all high-ranking. Aside from the second-in-command, who had a conflict with Dai Xingfeng and was away on a business trip, all the other prominent figures were present to entertain the guests.

This was at Dai Xingfeng’s request.

After understanding the status of Wang Chenning and Luo Yuqing’s group, these officials no longer felt it was beneath them.

Not a single person in Wang Chenning’s group was a lightweight. Any one or two of them would have been enough to warrant a full-scale reception from these officials, let alone the entire group.

Dai Xingfeng was quite smooth in his handling of the situation. He first toasted everyone with a drink, and then toasted the women present with another.

When toasting the women at the table, he praised each of them for their outstanding qualities.

When he finally got to Yan Dongling, he praised her as well and told her to continue accompanying Wang Chenning and Luo Yuqing’s group tomorrow.

Yan Dongling simply thanked Dai Xingfeng and said nothing more.

As Dai Xingfeng made his rounds toasting everyone, the other hosts also toasted Wang Chenning’s group one by one.

When Miao Jianhang went to toast Luo Yuqing, his expression was clearly a little tense.

Luo Yuqing noticed this and didn’t mince her words. "A few days ago, I heard quite a few stories about Mr. Mao. I must say, I was very impressed!"

Luo Yuqing’s words made Miao Jianhang’s face fall. But with his experience in handling crises, he just gave a dry laugh and said, "You must be joking, Miss Luo. I am but a humble person of little importance. How could I possibly be on your mind?"

Luo Yuqing gave a meaningful smile and said nothing more.

When Miao Jianhang toasted Wang Chenning, Wang Chenning also smiled and said something profound: "Let’s just drink as we please. For the sake of our health, we should drink less; it’s the thought that counts. Oh, by the way, I think Mr. Mao should also exercise some restraint when it comes to wine and women!"

At these words, Miao Jianhang shuddered, spilling some of the wine from his cup.

Everyone else at the table turned to look. After a moment, Dai Xingfeng burst out laughing. "Teacher Wang, your exquisite medical skills have impressed our countrymen, as well as the traditional medical communities of South Korea and Japan. When we heard the news, we were all so proud that Huaxia has a genius doctor like you. We’re also very curious, how did you learn your diagnostic and treatment methods? Can you really diagnose illnesses just by using the simple methods of observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking?"

Wang Chenning smiled. "Observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking are the classic diagnostic methods of traditional medicine. An experienced practitioner can indeed diagnose most illnesses through these simple means. But the human body is an incredibly complex system, and there are countless thousands of diseases. Relying on these simple methods alone can easily lead to errors. I advocate for integrating them with all available modern techniques. With that kind of diagnostic approach, the chance of a misdiagnosis is much, much smaller!"

"Then how about you give us all a check-up?" Dai Xingfeng suggested with a smile. "Let us experience your superb medical skills firsthand!"

Wang Chenning did not refuse. He readily stood up, first taking Dai Xingfeng’s pulse and performing a few other simple checks, then immediately gave his conclusion. "Mr. Dai, you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and your liver function is suboptimal. It’s likely caused by excessive drinking, frequently staying up late, and an irregular schedule!"

"That’s incredible!" Dai Xingfeng looked astonished. "That’s exactly what my last check-up said!"

Wang Chenning smiled and then examined the man next to Dai Xingfeng, once again giving an on-the-spot diagnosis.

After hearing the results, the man was dumbfounded. Wang Chenning had even detected the calcification in his prostate and advised him not to sit for long periods. ’Wang Chenning might have looked up Dai Xingfeng’s health information beforehand, but there’s no way he could have known about my condition.’

It could only be said that Wang Chenning’s medical skills were truly extraordinary.

Next, Wang Chenning moved on to examine Miao Jianhang.

Miao Jianhang desperately wanted to refuse, but after Dai Xingfeng said a few words, he didn’t dare.

Dai Xingfeng had said that everyone hosting the dinner today had to personally witness Wang Chenning’s outstanding medical skills and take his advice to heart.

After examining Miao Jianhang, Wang Chenning also gave his conclusion on the spot.

"My initial visual diagnosis was correct. Mr. Mao, you have indeed been overindulging in wine and women. While performance-enhancing drugs can certainly boost function, the damage they do to the body is not insignificant. You must stop using them. If you need help, you can come find me in Yandu for treatment!"
