Chapter 426: Chapter 426: You Have a Good Eye

Wang Chenning didn’t know if Li Yanxian was putting on an act or if she truly thought that way.

But regardless of the possibility, this twenty-two-year-old woman leaning in his arms was, frankly, a little scary.

If she was just acting, she was so serious and invested in her performance that she could probably win an Oscar.

If it wasn’t an act, and she really thought that way, then her ruthlessness was truly terrifying.

Recalling her reaction from earlier when he’d mentioned that performing acupuncture was his most vulnerable time, Wang Chenning was inclined to believe that Li Yanxian was just that ruthless.

This woman was not so easily controlled, nor was she easy to fool.

A woman so cunning she was almost demonic, and ruthless to boot—one could never let their guard down around her.

Wang Chenning didn’t stay with Li Yanxian the whole time. After massaging her for a while and teasing her until she once again dropped her reserve, he gracefully departed.

That night, Wang Chenning and his female companions all slept soundly. In contrast, many of the influential and high-status people they had interacted with that day did not sleep well at all.

Dai Xingfeng was practically sleepless, but after managing one or two hours of light sleep, his spirits were surprisingly not bad.

After arriving at his office, the first thing he did was summon Yan Dongling and ask her what plans she had for her future.

Yan Dongling was no ordinary person. When Dai Xingfeng summoned her so early in the morning, she had a keen sense that something was afoot.

She didn’t hide anything, speaking of her aspirations and her desire to help alleviate Dai Xingfeng’s burdens.

Dai Xingfeng had his own way of judging people. The moment he saw Yan Dongling, he knew she was a pragmatic woman who was decisive and bold in her actions. Her answers to his questions were very tactful; her words were reserved, but her meaning was perfectly clear.

Yan Dongling was very capable and beautiful. It was no wonder Miao Jianhang had designs on her, and that she had also earned Wang Chenning’s high regard.

"In that case, come work by my side," Dai Xingfeng said without beating around the bush. "Join the office staff. It would still be a deputy position. What do you say?"

Yan Dongling was instantly overjoyed, but she managed to conceal her emotions well. "I will follow your arrangements!"

Dai Xingfeng was very satisfied with Yan Dongling’s response. He then brought up Miao Jianhang. "Old Mao did many things he shouldn’t have. From now on, you must use him as a cautionary tale. Constantly remind yourself not to make the same mistakes!"

Yan Dongling thanked him sincerely and said she would take Dai Xingfeng’s reminder to heart—to live with integrity and act with a clear conscience.

As Yan Dongling was about to leave, Dai Xingfeng added meaningfully, "Wang Chenning, Teacher Wang, is very concerned about you. You should communicate with him more on certain matters and listen to his opinions!"

Yan Dongling understood perfectly. After leaving Dai Xingfeng’s office, she immediately sent a message to Wang Chenning, thanking him and giving him a brief overview of the situation.

Wang Chenning replied with this message: "Since you’ve earned a new opportunity for yourself, seize it. Strive to train yourself into someone capable of shouldering great responsibilities. Opportunity is for those who are prepared!"

Receiving such a reply from Wang Chenning made Yan Dongling even happier. She promised that she would work even harder in her new position and strive to achieve outstanding results. She added that she would pour all her energy into her work and put personal matters aside for the time being.

Yan Dongling’s reply was laden with meaning. Wang Chenning understood it, but chose to ignore it. ℴℴ𝘮

’Keeping a sufficient distance is the only way to make her feel a sense of awe and fear.’

Today, he, Luo Yuqing, and Yang Xiaofei continued their tour of Jinling, but he didn’t announce their specific itinerary. He only mentioned that he wanted to visit attractions like the President’s Mansion, the Yangtze River Bridge, Zhonghua Gate, Xuanwu Lake, and the Qinhuai River.

Their actual itinerary was to visit the Zhonghua Gate fortress in the morning, followed by the President’s Mansion, then Xuanwu Lake, and finally a trip to the banks of the Qinhuai River at dusk.

He hadn’t specified his route, which left the fans who had rushed to Jinling hoping for a chance encounter with him unsure of how to plan their day.

They could only try their luck, so all of these tourist attractions were packed with visitors.

For the Jinling tourism board, Wang Chenning’s appearance directly resulted in a several-fold increase in tourist traffic, which made their performance reports look much better.

Many people were grateful to Wang Chenning. The man’s drawing power was greater than any internet celebrity’s.

And Wang Chenning didn’t disappoint his fans. Whenever he appeared at an attraction and was recognized, he would greet them and give them opportunities for photos and autographs, acting very approachable.

The fans lucky enough to get a photo or an autograph with him were naturally ecstatic, and they all rushed to post about it on their social media feeds and Weibo.

Topics related to Wang Chenning continuously trended on Weibo’s hot search list.

Many people in Yandu were following Wang Chenning’s movements. The amount of attention he was getting even overshadowed that of certain important figures.

Zhao Xiao’an had returned to Yandu late last night. After a hurried discussion with her father, she was now with him to face her grandfather, Zhao Jiefang. She, too, was surprised by the level of attention these so-called upper-echelon individuals were paying to their Jiangnan trip.

"Grandpa, are you saying that through this incident, you’ve been able to get a clear picture of Wang Chenning’s abilities and the achievements he might attain?"

Zhao Jiefang looked at Zhao Xiao’an with a smile. "I’ve gotten a pretty clear picture, yes. You have good taste. The man you like is truly a talent. Whether in terms of ability or boldness, very few can compare to him. Just give him an opportunity, and he will undoubtedly soar to the heavens!"

Zhao Xiao’an’s eyes widened. "Grandpa, are you saying... the Zhao family is prepared to cultivate him with our full support?"
