Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Two Defiant Young Women

Zhao Xiao’an immediately finished packing up and left with Wang Chenning.

Many of her colleagues were still working overtime or on the night shift. When they saw Wang Chenning had come to pick up Zhao Xiao’an again, many came out to greet him.

The famous host Huang Bingbing, who had become very popular over the past two years, happened to be finishing her show. She jogged over when she saw Wang Chenning and said with a smile, "Dr. Wang, it’s been a few days, and you’ve gotten even more handsome! No wonder Xiao’an keeps having these fits of infatuation!"

"She’s just joking around with everyone. I’ve never seen her act like that in front of me!" Wang Chenning replied with a laugh. "Xiao’an worked hard for my apprenticeship ceremony today, so I have to reward her. I’m taking her out for a late-night snack. Are you off work, Sister Bingbing? Why don’t you join us?"

"I’d love to go with you, but I don’t want to be a third wheel. Besides, I’m not even off work yet!" Huang Bingbing said with a regretful look on her face. "Next time!"

Then, she asked a bit sheepishly, "I was wondering if I could see you for a consultation, Dr. Wang? I looked at your specialist clinic schedule, and it feels like no matter how fast my hands are, I’d never be able to book an appointment with you!"

"If you need a consultation, there’s no need to compete with other patients for a slot. Just schedule a time and come find me!" Wang Chenning patted Zhao Xiao’an’s arm affectionately. "Just have Xiao’an bring you to me then!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xiao’an agreed immediately, happy about Wang Chenning’s high emotional intelligence. "I’ll bring Sister Bingbing to see you then!"

"Great, thank you, Dr. Wang!" Huang Bingbing was instantly delighted. Then she added in a low voice, "I think Hu Xiaodie mentioned this too. Anyway, people in our line of work all have a bunch of minor health issues. We all push ourselves too hard. Xiao’an says your medical skills are amazing, and that you’re especially good at helping women rebalance their bodies. We’re all so jealous of her and would love your help too!"

"When I get the chance, I can hold a free clinic for your staff!" Wang Chenning replied with a smile. "I can give you all check-ups first. If they’re just minor ailments, I’ll give you advice on how to get back in balance or write you a prescription. If the situation is more serious, I’ll treat you personally. How does that sound?"

"That would be amazing!" Huang Bingbing beamed, putting an arm around Zhao Xiao’an’s shoulder. "Xiao’an, you’ve found a wonderful boyfriend. You’re bringing good fortune to so many colleagues at the station!"

"It’s what he does!" Zhao Xiao’an readily accepted the "boyfriend-girlfriend" label and naturally took Wang Chenning’s hand. "Our Dr. Wang always says he studied medicine to benefit the people. He’ll always have a benevolent heart, so if you ever need anything in the future, just ask him directly!"

Huang Bingbing immediately offered a few more compliments, added Wang Chenning on WeChat, and then shared the WeChat contacts of several other hosts at the station with him.

"I need to build a good relationship with your colleagues. You never know when I might need their help, and they’re all very influential people!" Wang Chenning whispered as he led Zhao Xiao’an away by the hand. "I’m also doing everything I can to make you look good and be the envy of everyone."

"I don’t care what other people think! I only care if you’re good to me!" Zhao Xiao’an said, suddenly jumping onto Wang Chenning’s back. "I’m so tired today. My legs are killing me. You have to carry me!"

Wang Chenning had no choice but to carry Zhao Xiao’an on his back as he walked out. He asked teasingly, "Aren’t you afraid of ruining your princess-like image?"

"I don’t care!" Zhao Xiao’an said coquettishly. "If they see us, they’ll just be jealous. So let them be jealous!"

"Hmm, you’re not heavy at all. And this is pretty comfortable!" Wang Chenning chuckled. "The airbag effect isn’t super obvious, but I can still tell you have a great figure!"

"You pervert, you’re teasing me again!" Zhao Xiao’an grew flustered and angry, pinching Wang Chenning several times. Then, seeing no one around and no cameras, she kissed him hard twice and even bit him.

After her little tantrum, she rested her head on Wang Chenning’s shoulder with a blissful expression, even calling out "GIDDY-UP! GIDDY-UP!" a few times as if he were a horse.

"Oh, so you’re riding me like a horse? I’ll have to ride you back later!" As he spoke, Wang Chenning gave her butt a pinch.

"You hooligan!" Zhao Xiao’an, once again flustered and angry, pinched Wang Chenning. Then her whole body went soft against his as she said in a sultry voice, "Is Dr. Wang sure he wants to ride a horse today?"

"You little vixen!"

In response, Zhao Xiao’an bit him again.

The two of them flirted and bickered all the way to the parking lot.

After Zhao Xiao’an unlocked the car, she deftly slipped into the passenger seat, letting Wang Chenning drive her car.

"Let’s go to my university first and see what that group of new disciples is up to," Wang Chenning said to Zhao Xiao’an after starting the car. "I want to show you off to them. Interested?"

"Of course I’m interested!" Zhao Xiao’an beamed again. "I’m not that hungry yet anyway, so I’ll accompany you on your inspection tour!"

And so, the two of them drove to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When they arrived, Chang Qingfeng was still in a meeting with the group.

Chang Qingfeng was indeed very capable. He had arranged many things that day, performing even better than Wang Chenning had expected.

But even such an outstanding performance wasn’t enough to win everyone over.

The young men and women who had become Wang Chenning’s disciples today were all exceptional, and they had all received intensive training over the years.

Talented people are often proud and don’t submit to others easily.

Although some of them had formally become Wang Chenning’s disciples, they still weren’t entirely convinced by their new master, let alone by a fellow disciple like Chang Qingfeng.

During the meeting, conflicts had already arisen because they refused to yield to one another.

When Chang Qingfeng, in his capacity as the senior disciple, tried to assign tasks, Lin Qingyan—granddaughter of the Hejian School’s successor, Lin Zeqing—and Zhang Manxin—granddaughter of the Jing’an School’s successor, Zhang Gangqiang—stood up to openly oppose him.

Lin Qingyan and Zhang Manxin were both twenty years old, tall, and very beautiful. They were the two most attractive among all the apprentices.

The two had known each other for a long time and were, to some extent, best friends.

Having been outstanding since they were young, they were not happy about coming here to study under Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning was too young. Calling a man this young "Master" was embarrassing for them, and they weren’t convinced of his qualifications.

But they didn’t dare to openly confront Wang Chenning, so they directed their frustrations at Chang Qingfeng instead.

When Wang Chenning arrived with Zhao Xiao’an, the two women were in the middle of a fierce argument with Chang Qingfeng.

"Chang Qingfeng, who says you’re our senior disciple? Our ’little master’ just said that whoever is the most capable gets to be in charge. I don’t think the two of us are any less capable than you, so why should we listen to your arrangements?" said the buxom Lin Qingyan, her words blunt.

The slender Zhang Manxin, whose figure was less than impressively developed, spoke even more infuriatingly, "Chang Qingfeng, do you really think you’re so handsome and capable? We’ve seen plenty of men like you. The fact that our ’little master’ puts someone like you in charge just shows his poor judgment. Don’t you dare put on airs in front of us. We couldn’t care less about you!"

"Who are you calling ’little master’?" Wang Chenning walked over, his face devoid of expression. "You’ve already completed the apprenticeship ceremony, yet you still dare to speak ill of me behind my back?"

Standing with their backs to the door, Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan only just then noticed Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao’an enter. Although they were startled, they refused to back down.

"We don’t think Chang Qingfeng is all that great, so we won’t submit to his authority!" Zhang Manxin declared, tilting her head up proudly.

Lin Qingyan followed suit, acting defiantly. "You showed your face and then just handed us over to him to manage. With such irresponsible behavior, how do you expect us to be convinced by you, ’little master’?"

"It seems you two have no awareness of what it means to be a disciple," Wang Chenning said, looking at Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan with a smile. Then, his expression suddenly turned icy. "Since you’re not convinced, I’ll have to punish you properly tonight. I’ll give you two choices. The first is to kneel outside my room until dawn. The second is to land four hundred effective strikes on an acupuncture bronze figure within one minute. If you can’t do it, you don’t sleep!"

The meeting room instantly fell silent. Everyone was stunned...
