Chapter 464: Tomorrow, Listen to My Arrangements

Wang Chenning had been very busy these past two days.

There were many things he had to personally oversee and handle after returning to Yandu.

He had made two special trips just to deal with matters concerning the national-level laboratory.

Fortunately, no one tried to throw a wrench in the works this time, and he obtained the official approval documents smoothly.

After receiving the formal approval from the relevant departments, construction on the laboratory headed by Wang Chenning could officially begin.

When Wang Chenning told Lu Yuanshan the news, Lu Yuanshan was ecstatic.

He immediately instructed his people to announce the news to the public.

Wang Chenning also shared the news on his own Weibo account, taking the opportunity to recruit talented individuals.

Wang Chenning was garnering more and more public attention, and the news he posted was almost always positive and uplifting.

This latest announcement was, of course, just as inspiring and exciting.

Spearheading the establishment of a national-level laboratory at such a young age was an absolutely unprecedented achievement.

Even though many people loved to gossip about and criticize his romantic affairs, his role in leading the development of traditional medicine was unimpeachable!

Wang Chenning had listed Wu Jingyi’s and Chang Qingfeng’s email addresses in his Weibo post. The moment it went live, the two poor souls’ inboxes were “carpet-bombed.” If there weren’t ten thousand applicants sending in their resumes right away, there were at least several thousand!

Wang Chenning had no choice but to announce two more email addresses, sharing those of Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan with the public.

Afterward, he went to see Lu Yuanshan about officially starting the laboratory’s construction. As expected, Lu Yuanshan wouldn’t cause any trouble for Wang Chenning.

Need money? Here’s money. Need people? Here are people. That was his principle for getting things done.

“Anyone from the university or the affiliated hospital—if you want them, they’re yours!”

Wang Chenning was quite satisfied with Lu Yuanshan’s attitude.

He still put his several disciples in charge of the laboratory’s construction, trusting their abilities and their diligence in overseeing such matters.

Yang Xiaofu also wanted to get involved. The day after she officially explained the situation to Yang Xiaofei, she came to see Wang Chenning openly and without reservation.

She explained in detail to Wang Chenning how she had resolved the conflict with that female streamer.

She told Wang Chenning that she’d had the streamer’s channel shut down and had her blacklisted across the entire internet.

When doing things like this, her attitude was ‘I would rather wrong the world than let the world wrong me.’

Furthermore, using her family’s influence in the field, she had publicly called for new industry regulations to crack down on unscrupulous, clout-chasing behavior. She advocated for strict oversight of live streaming to guide the industry toward healthy, standardized development and to reject vulgar content.

Yang Xiaofu told Wang Chenning that the Yang family controlled several major live-streaming platforms. Her grandfather, Yang Liansheng, had previously wanted to hand them over for her to manage, but Yang Xiaofu hadn’t been interested at the time.

Now, she was interested and wanted to make her voice heard in the industry.

Since Wang Chenning wanted her to help manage his entertainment and media businesses, Yang Xiaofu naturally had to show him what she could do.

“I’m starting to see you in a new light!” Wang Chenning praised Yang Xiaofu. “You’re decisive. You’re destined for great things!”

“Then let me manage your Cyan Bird Media now. Just make me the de facto manager, and I’ll definitely run the company well. Oh, and I want to get involved with your lab construction, too. Just think of it as training for me!” Yang Xiaofu said with a grin. “You can trust me completely. I’ll help you keep a good eye on those disciples of yours, and everyone else involved in the construction. Anyway, like I said before, I definitely won’t let you down!”

However, Wang Chenning didn’t agree to let Yang Xiaofu participate in the lab construction, since she wasn’t a traditional medicine practitioner.

He did promise, however, that he would let her take part in supervision and management at specific times.

Furthermore, he agreed to let her manage all of Cyan Bird Media’s affairs starting immediately.

Yang Xiaofu was quite satisfied with Wang Chenning’s decision.

“Brother Ning, I definitely won’t have as much time to hang out with you anymore. I’m going to pour most of my energy into helping you with your work!” Yang Xiaofu said to Wang Chenning with a giggle. “If I do a good job, you have to reward me properly, or you’ll break my heart!”

Wang Chenning didn’t refuse. “Of course. When the time comes, you can name your reward!”

Zhao Xiao’an had also been a bit busy these past few days. She was creating a brand-new show and was planning to invite Wang Chenning as a guest.

Naturally, Wang Chenning fully supported Zhao Xiao’an’s endeavors. He told her that whenever she needed him, he would make time to help her.

This made Zhao Xiao’an quite happy.

Soon, it was Yang Xiaofei’s birthday.

The day before her birthday, Wang Chenning went to the Lingyang Group headquarters to find her.

“Tomorrow’s your birthday. Will you be free to do as you please?”

“Of course!” Yang Xiaofei nodded. “As long as no major emergencies pop up, most of my day will be free!”

Wang Chenning said with a mysterious expression, “In that case, don’t come to the office tomorrow. Just leave everything to me!”

A rare look of longing appeared on Yang Xiaofei’s face. She smiled and pleaded with Wang Chenning, “What do you have planned? Can you give me a little hint?”

“Nope!” Wang Chenning refused. “If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise!”

“Then I’ll be waiting for your surprise!” Yang Xiaofei flashed a sweet smile.
