Chapter 19 - Danger from the Song Dynasty Painting
Being in control of Nie Weiting's condition, it would require a month or two for Su Tao to completely recover, which he had left leeway on purpose to mediate with Yan Jing. The balance between them would break if he treated Nie Weiting so quickly. She was a fearful woman, and he wasn't alone in the world, so he had to prevent Yan Jing from threatening those around him.
Yan Jing looked elegant as she ate, which left Su Tao surprised. He never thought that a woman could eat so charmingly as if dining was a piece of art to her. With a gorgeous view, Su Tao's appet.i.te had also grown and he swiftly swept the food on the table.
Yan Jing had noticed Su Tao's bold eyes as he purposely ate while glancing at her chest. To be able to act so lecherous before her, it could be considered as a talent.
Yan Jing took a sip of water, then broke the silence, "I'll arrange for my secretary to send you off after this meal. You are only required to come once a week to treat Nie Weiting."
Su Tao wiped his mouth with a napkin before he spoke with difficulty, "I'm swamped with work!"
Yan Jing smiled, "I'll pay you for your service, how much is your consultation fee?"
Things were easier to deal with if money was involved. Thus, he had extorted, "¥1,000 for each consultation."
Yan Jing pondered briefly and offered, "I'll pay you ¥2,000 for each session. How about it?"
Su Tao accepted without any hesitation, "Deal!"
He caused Nie Weiting's current state. In the end, he had become his doctor and was even receiving such high treatment fees. The logic behind it was a little messed up, but Su Tao did not feel that there's anything wrong about it.
After their meal, Su Tao was sent off by the chauffeur, while Yan Jing asked her secretary, "This is the second meeting, what do you think about him?"
The secretary supported her spectacles as she answered, "He's more mature than he looks. Despite looking immature, he's well-composed."
Yan Jing sighed, "He had already predicted that we would bring him here to treat Nie Weiting. His mind isn't at all inferior to his medical skills, which leaves me curious about his ident.i.ty."
The secretary smiled. "For my impression, I think that this is the first time that you gave someone such a high evaluation."
Yan Jing responded, "w.a.n.g Guofeng, you've also seen him, right?"
The secretary blushed, "I have some impressions of him. The youngest talented physician of this century."
Yan Jing sighed, "They're two of the same kind. But compared to w.a.n.g Guofeng, I feel that Su Tao is even deeper and more unfathomable."
The secretary was surprised by her superior's evaluation before she answered, "But you only met him twice."
Yan Jing refuted, "You doubt my vision?"
The secretary gently held her chest and smiled. "I dare not! So you're preparing to cooperate with her and not bewitch him?"
Yan Jing sighed, "Who can tell what's real or a sham. As of now, he is still valuable to me. Nie Weiting has been refusing to talk, and I feel that we can break through, starting from Su Tao, so he's worthy of my short-term investment!"
"So we're not going to demolish the Old Street?" Secretary was astonished.
Yan Jing's gaze grew deep as she said, "The City Hall sent word that a foreign investor has taken a liking to that piece of land and wants to develop it into a cultural project for tourism. According to the City Hall's intention, they wish for us to cooperate with that foreign investor to develop that piece of land. It doesn't matter to me if the Old Street is demolished or not, that matter is for Nie Weiting to talk about."
The Hongsheng Group had long gotten the paperwork for demolition. After they demolish it, they would open it out for auction to earn profits. But now, they had to save their troubles for the following segment, since the City Hall had introduced them a financial backer.
