Chapter 351: Yang Xiaofu’s Scheme

Around 10 PM, Wang Chenning posted a long Weibo post.

"Today, I officially accepted Pu Zhiyun from South Korea and Tian Zhiheng from Japan as my disciples, marking an important step in the global expansion of traditional medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down in Huaxia for thousands of years, saving countless lives. But it doesn't just belong to Huaxia—it belongs to the whole world. More than that, it *should* belong to the whole world.

Many illnesses that modern medicine cannot cure can be treated with the methods of traditional medicine. To save more lives, we have an obligation to promote the traditional medicine of Huaxia to the entire world, benefiting all of humanity.

In the future, I will not only accept disciples from Huaxia, but I will also continue to recruit more disciples from all over the world. If you are interested in traditional medicine and want to become a great medical master, then come to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine or study under me!"

After posting this message, Wang Chenning immediately pinned a reply beneath it: "What does the Song dynasty acupuncture bronze figure, which has fortunately returned to the embrace of Huaxia, actually look like? In a little while, everyone will be able to see it at the National Museum. Although I love this bronze figure, I know it doesn't just belong to me—it belongs to all of Huaxia!"

Recently, the number of Wang Chenning's Weibo followers had been increasing at an astonishing rate. By now, his follower count had already surpassed twenty million.

Although it was still a far cry from Zhao Xiao'an's nearly sixty million followers, the moment he published this post, it immediately captured the attention of countless people.

The ceremony where Wang Chenning accepted his disciples that afternoon had been livestreamed. There were quite a few viewers, with the peak viewership reaching nearly fifty million.

The livestream was so captivating not only because of the hook—the grandsons of two titans of medicine from South Korea and Japan becoming Wang Chenning's disciples—but also because there were many handsome men and beautiful women at the scene.

The beautiful pair of sisters, Yang Xiaofei and Yang Xiaofu; the stunning superstar, Zhao Xiao'an; and all of Wang Chenning's female disciples were gorgeous. His male disciples were also quite handsome. Such a large gathering of handsome men and beautiful women naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The livestream, combined with a separate Weibo post from Zhao Xiao'an, had already pushed Wang Chenning to the top of the trending lists.

After all the hype, the moment Wang Chenning's own Weibo post appeared that night, traffic was immediately funneled to it.

Many people had been watching to see how Wang Chenning would ultimately handle the acupuncture bronze figure, and today, he finally gave them an answer.

Almost everyone praised Wang Chenning for his noble character.

"Even ordinary relics from the Song dynasty are worth a fortune, let alone an acupuncture bronze figure that is practically one-of-a-kind. If it ended up on the auction market, how much would this figure be worth? I think it would have to be at least a 'small goal'."

"How could it only be worth one 'small goal'? Think bigger! You could definitely add a zero to that. We're talking ten 'small goals,' and in US Dollars. When Teacher Wang had the bronze figure shipped back, he insured it for one million US Dollars. At the current exchange rate, the premium alone is about seven million RMB. You can use that to get a rough idea of its actual value."

"The government should at least reimburse Wang Chenning for the one million US Dollar insurance policy he took out on the bronze figure!"

"One million US Dollars! I couldn't earn that much in a lifetime. It goes without saying that Teacher Wang must be a super-rich tycoon!"

"A rich, talented, and handsome man who is also this kind-hearted... He's totally worth idolizing!"

"He's our national heartthrob!"

Wang Chenning didn't just post the update on Weibo; he posted it on his Friends Circle as well.

The post included seven close-up photos of the bronze figure, one picture of an introduction to the Song dynasty acupuncture bronze figure, and a final picture of the entrance to the National Museum!

Almost all his friends in his Friends Circle liked and commented on his post.

Zhao Xiao'an was the first person to like and reply to Wang Chenning.

"Teacher Wang, you always surprise us when we least expect it. For such a precious cultural relic to return to Huaxia, the country and its people will remember you for this!"

Zheng Qiuhang, Wu Jingyi, Zhang Manxin, Lin Qingyan, and the others also liked and replied to the post.

Yang Xiaofei, Yang Xiaofu, and Yang Xiaodong also immediately left comments praising Wang Chenning.

What surprised Wang Chenning was that Lin Anning had also liked the post in his Friends Circle and subsequently sent him a private message.

"I'm discovering you have quite a few good qualities!"

Wang Chenning immediately replied: "If you look a little closer, you're guaranteed to discover even more."

Lin Anning replied with a smiley face emoji.

Around midnight, Luo Yuqing called him. She first apologized for not attending the ceremony that day, then asked Wang Chenning if he was sleeping alone tonight or if he was with one of his young ladies.

"Tonight, I'm with Zhao Xiao'an!" Wang Chenning deliberately provoked Luo Yuqing. "She did a great job today, so I have to reward her properly!"

"You've already taken down Zhao Xiao'an?" Luo Yuqing sent a bunch of surprised emojis.

Wang Chenning ignored her.

However, Wang Chenning didn't go looking for Zhao Xiao'an. She was going home tonight, and he figured she probably had things to discuss with Zhao Jiefang or her parents.

After ignoring Luo Yuqing, Wang Chenning sent a message to Yang Xiaofu: "Where are you sleeping tonight?"

Yang Xiaofu's reply came back in a second: "If I tell you, will you reward me or punish me?"

"I'll decide whether to punish or reward you based on your performance!"

"I'm at my own place, not at Grandpa's with my sister. Are you coming over?"

Wang Chenning didn't reply to the message. He just headed out the door.

Twenty-some minutes later, Wang Chenning used the password Yang Xiaofu had given him before to open the door to her apartment.

Yang Xiaofu had already showered. When Wang Chenning entered, she was combing her hair.

"Brother Ning, I didn't mean to say that!" Seeing Wang Chenning come in, Yang Xiaofu immediately went up to him, looking aggrieved. "It was my grandpa who told me to say it. The goal was to provoke Zhao Xiao'an a little and get her to stop being the other woman."

"Your grandpa?" Wang Chenning didn't believe for a second that Yang Liansheng would make Yang Xiaofu do something like that; he had seen Yang Liansheng's own reaction at the time. "I don't believe it," he snorted irritably. "Tell me your real motive!"

"Fine!" Yang Xiaofu pouted at Wang Chenning. "I just can't stand Zhao Xiao'an, so I said it. I knew that if I said something like that, you would definitely come and question me about it. If you're angry, then punish me properly! I'll accept any punishment you give me."

After speaking, she even deliberately puffed out her chest.

Yang Xiaofu hadn't put on any underwear after her shower, so her gesture was rather brazen.

Wang Chenning frowned. His eyes fell on her chest for a moment, but he showed no reaction.

"Brother Ning, don't be mad at me. I like you, so I don't want Zhao Xiao'an getting close to you. I was just jealous!" As Yang Xiaofu spoke, she suddenly leaped into Wang Chenning's arms, wrapping her hands around his neck. "Tonight, I'm all yours to command, okay? I have a lot of 'study materials' on my computer. We can watch and 'learn' together!"

After saying that, she blew softly into Wang Chenning's ear, then pressed her entire body against his, her hands beginning to wander...
