Then looking at Wang Pingyuan, he added: "Wang Pingyuan, our grudges have been settled. The favor you did for my father has already been repaid when I spared your life after sending him overseas. Our...Shortly after, Liu Sufang brought down a bottle of Maotai from the second floor and placed it on the table. She said, "Old Wang, your health isn’t great. You should drink less!"

"It’s fine, it’s fine! I’m in a good mood today!" Upon hearing Liu Sufang's words, Wang Jun showed a hint of a smile and waved his hand.

At this moment, Wang Jun no longer appeared as stern as when Xiao Yu first arrived. He now seemed quite amiable.

Sitting beside them, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but glance at Wang Jun's face after hearing Liu Sufang mention his poor health. After a while, he nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, let me take your pulse!"

"Oh, ha-ha! That’s great! I still have quite some confidence in Xiao Yu’s medical skills," Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wang Jun’s eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly.

Wang Chengzhi also showed a hint of a smile. In recent days at Hangcheng Hospital, Xiao Yu had fully demonstrated his exceptional medical abilities, not falling short of the reputation of being a national master. Hence, hearing that Xiao Yu wanted to diagnose him, he was very pleased. Wang Jun's health had been deteriorating over the years, with occasional coughing fits; neither seeing doctors nor taking care of himself seemed to help.

Liu Sufang looked at Wang Jun and Wang Chengzhi in puzzlement, unable to understand why they were acting this way. Although she did hear that Wang Chengzhi spoke highly of Xiao Yu’s medical skills, she hadn’t thought deeply about it.

After all, how good could a doctor be who was so young It felt strange seeing her usually composed husband and son act in such an uncharacteristic manner.

Wang Jun finished speaking and stretched his hand onto the table. Xiao Yu placed his hand on Wang Jun's wrist as his eyes gradually narrowed. Liu Sufang and Wang Chengzhi, watching him intently from within the room, held their breaths anxiously.

About a minute later, Xiao Yu released Wang Jun’s wrist and opened his eyes.

"Fourth Brother, how is my dad" When Wang Chengzhi saw Xiao Yu open his eyes, he asked quickly.

"Hehe, Uncle Wang doesn’t have any serious issues. It seems that when he was a child, he had a major illness which damaged his fundamental health. Back then, with his robust constitution, the effects weren’t noticeable, but now, as he ages, these underlying problems are gradually surfacing."

After hearing Wang Chengzhi's words, Xiao Yu chuckled and explained to them in detail.

Liu Sufang and Wang Chengzhi were startled upon hearing this. However, seeing the smile on Xiao Yu's face, they inexplicably felt reassured.

Wang Jun pondered for a moment after hearing Xiao Yu’s words before slowly speaking up, "I also remember that my elders mentioned when I was about seven or eight years old, it coincided with the decade of turmoil. Due to family reasons, our family became an object of criticism and struggle. At that time, I fell ill, but because we were targets for criticism, no one would help us. According to what the elders said, if not for a nurse who pitied me and gave my family some medicine, I might have died from illness!"

Upon hearing Wang Jun's words, Liu Sufang let out a long sigh as well. She had experienced that era herself and was very familiar with it; it could be said to be an era that overturned people's perceptions. Whenever she thought of that time, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Xiao Yu, then how do you treat Uncle Wang’s condition" After letting out a long sigh, Liu Sufang asked Xiao Yu worriedly.

"I will give him a prescription later. Once the root cause is addressed, he’ll improve," said Xiao Yu confidently as he had already assessed Wang Jun's health thoroughly upon hearing Liu Sufang’s question.

“Mm-hmm, then please give Old Wang a prescription! I'll have Liu Yong fetch the medicine immediately!” Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Liu Sufang nodded repeatedly and said.

Xiao Yu nodded when he heard her. He accepted the paper and pen that Liu Sufang handed over and wrote out a prescription on it before standing up straight and saying, "First go fetch the medicine! There is one main ingredient in my luggage; I’ll get it right away!"

“Fourth Brother, you drink with Dad first. I'll go get it. We'll stay here tonight!” Wang Chengzhi quickly said upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words.

"Right, right, let Little Zhi go and fetch it!" Upon hearing that Wang Chengzhi would fetch the medicine himself, Liu Sufang immediately took over and said, ever since Xiao Yu mentioned he could cure Wang Jun's condition, she had been treating him very courteously.

After speaking, Liu Sufang walked to the side of the table and picked up the phone. She made a call; soon after, Liu Yong, who they saw at the door earlier that day when Xiao Yu arrived, entered from outside the door.

As Wang Jun's secretary, Liu Yong hardly returned home before eleven o'clock every night in order to be on standby at any time. But today, due to Wang Chengzhi’s return, Wang Jun allowed him a leave of absence.

However, although Wang Jun had given him leave, he dared not to go away, fearing that Wang Jun might need him in case of an emergency. Liu Yong was also like this for years on end, which was why Wang Jun still brought him along when transferring from another city to Hangzhou.

Of course, the benefits Liu Yong received were not few either; he could be promoted to a deputy department-level position at the age of thirty-five or so without any family background. This was mainly due to Wang Jun's efforts. If he were demoted now, he might even become the chief executive of a region.

Although Liu Yong had thought about this issue and Wang Jun had also asked him about it, he decided not to do it anyway. Even though taking over as the chief executive of a region was an option if he were demoted now, there would still be a huge gap between deputy department-level and provincial-level positions. Many promising officials have stopped at provincial-level posts. However, following Wang Jun was different; with Wang Jun's current momentum, advancing one or two steps further wouldn't be much of a problem. If Liu Yong kept working under Wang Jun for several more years, once he crossed that hurdle, it would come naturally to him as well. At that time, demotion would be far better than now and would at least save him ten years of hard work.

When she saw Liu Yong enter the room, Liu Su Fang picked up the prescription and handed it over for him to get the medicine.

After receiving the prescription from her, Liu Yong glanced at it before looking back at Xiao Yu and left. He knew a bit about Xiao Yu because he had been instructed by Wang Jun to look into everything regarding Xiao Yu at Hangzhou Hospital in the past. Therefore, he naturally knew that Xiao Yu's medical skills were excellent. According to Director Zhou’s words, they could be regarded as national master level, with him being one of the country’s most famous masters.

When Liu Yong saw how highly Director Zhou evaluated Xiao Yu, it surprised him; after all, Xiao Yu's age made people feel that he was not real.

Holding onto Xiao Yu's prescription, Liu Yong headed towards Hangzhou Hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, Director Zhou had already brought Chief Lin to wait there since it was an opportunity for them to show off their capabilities. Even if they couldn't help much, just being able to put a face with the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee would be beneficial to them. People who work in administration naturally understand these things and wouldn't miss out on such opportunities.

"Chief Liu, what kind of medicine do you want" When Director Zhou and Chief Lin saw Hangzhou’s Number One car slowly pulling up beside them, they asked the person who looked out from the car, which was Liu Yong.

Hearing Director Zhou's words, Liu Yong got off the car and handed Xiao Yu's prescription to him. "Find a TCM doctor to check if there are any issues with this prescription!"

It wasn't that Liu Yong didn’t trust Xiao Yu; as Wang Jun’s secretary, he had to do things and say things on Wang Jun's behalf when the latter couldn't or shouldn't. Although Wang Jun hadn't asked him to verify it, Liu Yong still needed to do so for his boss's sake.

"Haha, Chief Lin is our best TCM doctor here! He can have a look!" After speaking, Director Zhou handed the prescription over to Chief Lin beside him.

After taking a look at the prescription, Chief Lin nodded and said: "It's a very orthodox warming and tonifying prescription. There’s nothing wrong with this prescription! But judging from the handwriting on it, it seems like it was written by Master Xiao Then there is even less to worry about; I admire Master Xiao Yu's medical skills and ethics the most!"

Director Lin spoke the truth; he has lived for almost sixty years and met countless renowned doctors, but none of them possessed such medical ethics as Xiao Yu. When those famous doctors see patients, they usually only examine twenty people a day and never work overtime. However, Xiao Yu is different—he arrives early in the morning and leaves late at night without any complaints. In his view, this is what truly makes someone a master.

Because if one is to be called a national master doctor, they must not only have superb medical skills but also high medical ethics.

Upon hearing their conversation, Liu Yong nodded and said, "Since there are no issues, let's get the medicine!" With that, the three of them headed towards the pharmacy.

Back at Wang Jun’s house, after Wang Chengzhi and Liu Yong left, Wang Jun and Liu Sufang invited Xiao Yu to sit down with them.

At this moment, Liu Sufang treated Xiao Yu very kindly. Although she had been polite from the start, her initial courtesy was merely a formality extended to guests, but now it felt like genuine warmth reserved for family.

"Old Wang, you may make an exception today and have a drink, but no more than two ounces!"

"Xiao Yu, you should drink up too. Don’t be so polite; this bottle of wine your Uncle Wang has kept as a treasure and never shared with anyone else, even when guests come over! Today, just finish it for him to put his mind at ease."

After Liu Sufang took out that bottle of Maotai and poured some for Wang Jun, she said this to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu and Wang Jun drank while Liu Sufang kept offering him dishes.

Seeing the full plate of food in front of him, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but chuckle; such overenthusiastic hospitality can be quite trying. However, he said nothing and just ate from the plate and occasionally sipped on the wine with Wang Jun.

About forty to fifty minutes later, Wang Chengzhi and Liu Yong returned separately from their respective places—his house and the hospital.

"Fourth Brother, I’ve brought back the stuff!" After carrying a box in and entering the room, Wang Chengzhi said to Xiao Yu.w what Xiao Yu was saying made sense but doubted that such a young person like Xiao Yu could have deep expertise in calligraphy, hence his confrontational tone. If the old masters Hu or Wu had spoken...
