The Hummer pulled up outside the gates of a villa complex, and Wang Xiaoqiang called Zhong Ping. Shortly after, Qili came out to greet him.

As the weather got hotter, women's clothing became skimpier, but Qili was different. She was still bundled up in a neat denim outfit, although her overly curvaceous figure still managed to draw attention, even clothed as it was.

Her androgynous style combined with her fiery figure had Wang Xiaoqiang ogling unabashedly.

"Hey, you can't just stare at people like that..." Qili, feeling uncomfortable under Wang Xiaoqiang's intense gaze, couldn't help but scold him, "Is this how you country folk look at women?"

"Hmph, looking at you is giving you face... If you weren't pretty, I wouldn't bother even if you begged me to look," Wang Xiaoqiang boasted arrogantly.

"Pfft..." Qili glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, yet couldn't help but smile at his backhanded compliment, "Hey, last time you mentioned you were missing a wife, have you found one yet...?"

"Not yet. Why? Are you taking such an interest in my marital affairs because you want to introduce someone to me?..."

"What kind of person do you hope to find?"

"Not too high-maintenance, someone like you would do..."

"I spit... dream on!" Qili rolled her eyes in frustration.

"Hey, I never said I wanted to find you, why are you getting worked up?" Wang Xiaoqiang spread his hands.

"I... you..." Qili was at a loss for words, her face flushing red and then turning pale, finally pursing her lips and falling silent.

"Don't just stand there, get in the car!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, opening the car door for Qili like a perfect gentleman.

"Wow, Wang Xiaoqiang, this Hummer is pretty nice!" Qili climbed into the vehicle and sat down in the passenger seat.

"Of course!" Wang Xiaoqiang replied proudly. Following Qili's directions, he drove the Hummer slowly into the complex. He saw villas that were imposing yet elegant. Under the sunlight, the glazed tiles dazzled the eyes. Each villa stood alone with a large garden, suggesting that their prices must be steep. Indeed, only the rich and prestigious could afford to live here.

Feeling provoked by Wang Xiaoqiang just now, Qili purposefully started to tease him, "Hey, Wang Xiaoqiang, last time Director Zhong accompanied you for a meal and it exacerbated her stomach ailment... She really put her life on the line to keep you company. You better not be ungrateful!"

Although she was teasing Wang Xiaoqiang, the statement was true. After drinking a lot at the Qingcheng Grand Hotel last time, Zhong Ping's stomach condition had worsened, and she had been on a drip in the hospital for two days before resting at home.

"The reason I'm here this time is to treat Sister Ping's illness..."

"At least you have some conscience left to call her 'Sister Ping.' Director Zhong has really been good to you..." Qili said, then suddenly with incredulity, "What, you're going to treat Director Zhong's illness... Wang Xiaoqiang, are you joking?"

"It's no joke, Qili, I know you won't believe it," Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly, "but I truly can cure Sister Ping's illness..."

"You..." Qili turned and looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with disbelief. After all, Wang Xiaoqiang was just a country boy. Although he ran a business, she'd never heard that he had studied medicine, and even if he had, at his age, how proficient could his medical skills be?

She shook her head, "Your intentions are good, but who can believe such a claim? Director Zhong wouldn't believe you either..."

"So, Sister Qili, you've got to help me out..." Wang Xiaoqiang pleaded with her, cupping his hand in the other in a salute, "Brag about my medical skills to Sister Ping for me..."

"Cut the crap, calling me 'old lady' won't work. Is treating an illness a joke? It's not just because Director Zhong is my boss and treats me well, but I couldn't do this to a stranger either..." Qili was wholly unconvinced.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt helpless. He had felt guilty after hearing Qili mention that Zhong Ping's stomach ailment worsened due to drinking with him, affecting her work, so he had wanted to use Spiritual Energy to treat her.

"Then forget it!" Wang Xiaoqiang sighed, "What a pity that my great medical skills can't be used to treat Sister Ping's illness..."

Qili saw Wang Xiaoqiang self-promoting, showing signs of a charlatan, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Hey, Wang Xiaoqiang, there's more than one guest at Director Zhong's home today. Be careful with what you say later..."

Wang Xiaoqiang frowned, "There are other guests? Who are they?"

"If I tell you, it might scare you. Never mind, better not to say it..."

"Could it be that they're not human?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can they not be human?"

"Well, that's strange. If he's human, and I'm human, what do I have to be afraid of! Psh!" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a dismissive eye roll.

"Alright, listen, the guests today are leaders from the provincial level. How about that, are you scared now?"

"Psh, I haven't broken any laws. What can the provincial leaders do to me?" Wang Xiaoqiang said disdainfully.

Qili was speechless and rolled her eyes repeatedly. However, she also felt that her words might have been a bit of an overstatement.

But she truly admired Wang Xiaoqiang's courage; she herself felt slightly intimidated in the presence of those provincial leaders.

What surprised her even more came later. When she led Wang Xiaoqiang into the villa's living room and took the flower pot from his hands, Director Zhong Ping stood up to greet them. And the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, also stood up, with even more enthusiasm than Zhong Ping, quickly stepping forward and extending both hands, "Mr.

Wang, it's a great pleasure to meet you!"

Seeing the excited manner in which Xu Kunpeng shook Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, not only was Qili dumbfounded, but Zhong Ping was also taken aback.

"Secretary Xu, you're here too?" Wang Xiaoqiang saw Xu Kunpeng and showed a look of surprise.

"Uh, Zhong Ping and I were classmates, and now we have some business to discuss, so..." Xu Kunpeng didn't hide anything from Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Oh, so Little Qiang, you know Kunpeng too? That saves me from making introductions..." Zhong Ping said with a joyful smile upon seeing the two were acquainted.

Although Xu Kunpeng was surprised at how Wang Xiaoqiang knew Zhong Ping, he didn't ask at that moment. As the maid served tea, Zhong Ping didn't mention the matter of Plain Crown, Lotus Cauldron and invited them to sit down for a chat.

Although Zhong Ping and Xu Kunpeng were classmates, they seldom met. Zhong Ping inquired about Xu Kunpeng's mother's illness; his mother, Liu Yueying, was once Zhong Ping's teacher, and she was aware of Liu Yueying's rheumatic heart disease.

"My mother has fully recovered!" Xu Kunpeng said with joy, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Wang!"

"Oh?" Zhong Ping's gentle eyes suddenly focused on Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, you know medical skills?"

Xu Kunpeng regretted saying those words as soon as they left his mouth because Wang Xiaoqiang had instructed not to spread the news about treating his mother's illness. Seeing Zhong Ping asking Wang Xiaoqiang, Xu Kunpeng felt anxious, he looked at Wang Xiaoqiang guiltily, afraid that Wang Xiaoqiang would be put on the spot, and even more scared that he might become angry because of it.

Meanwhile, Qili, witnessing the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee's anxious expression, was even more shocked. Could it be that the Secretary was actually afraid of Wang Xiaoqiang?!

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang smiled naturally and said modestly, "Actually, I don't know much about medical skills, I just know how to use Qigong to heal..."

"Uh, Qigong can heal?" Zhong Ping said, looking puzzled.

Xu Kunpeng, quick on the uptake as he was, saw that Wang Xiaoqiang was willing to acknowledge his Qigong, and immediately agreed, "That's right, my mother's illness was cured by Mr. Wang's Qigong..."

"Really?!" Zhong Ping's eyes brightened as she stared at Wang Xiaoqiang. She might not have believed it from someone else, but since Xu Kunpeng, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary and her old classmate, would not lie to her, she couldn't help but believe it, and exclaimed with admiration, "Who would have thought Little Qiang is so talented!"
