Chapter 346 - A Man and a Woman
“What's the matter, Jiaang Yu? Is there something you need me for?” Zhang Xiaolong answered the phone.
“It's not me. It's my dad. He asked you for something.” Jiaang Yu chuckled, “I heard that the guy named Gingis has already returned to A Country. Anyway, he won't cause any trouble for a while. My dad seems to be in a good mood, but I'm not sure what he wants from you. Oh, right, he invited you to a meal. Maybe he wants you to be the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association President. You better be careful, don't get dragged into the old man's trap.”
“Haha, if your dad finds out that you said that to him, he will probably be in trouble.” Zhang Xiaolong threatened.
“We're brothers. You won't trick me.” Jiaang Yu did not care about the jokes. “By the way, it's eight o'clock in the evening. Celestial Mansion Family, the private room reserved for the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. They will bring you there when the time comes.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolong could not figure out why Jiaang Qin wanted to see him. However, if he really wanted him to be the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association President, he would not agree to it.
However, it was not very likely either. They had already talked about this once. As for the celebration after Gingis left, it was even more impossible.
Whether it was him or Jiaang Qin, they did not really take Gingis seriously. That guy was just playing with schemes and tricks. He was still far from being able to use his little tricks to shake the C Country Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At around seven-thirty in the evening, Zhang Xiaolong had already arrived at the Celestial Mansion Family. As soon as the taxi stopped, the doorman immediately ran over and opened the door.
Zhang Xiaolong paid the taxi fare and got out of the car. Just as he was about to ask about the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, another taxi arrived at the door.
Naturally, it was treated the same as Zhang Xiaolong, but the difference was that the two young men and woman who came down from the top had flushed red faces, as if they had done something wrong.
The man was very handsome, and the woman was also very pretty. They carried a shy and introverted aura that was similar to those who had just entered the city.
“Sorry, we… We didn't want to come here to eat.” The man was the first to speak, and he said awkwardly, “We wanted to eat at the Celestial Mansion Family, but the driver directly brought us here…”
The doorman was also a little stunned. He probably didn't understand what these two wanted to do.
“We really aren't here to eat…” The girl also blushed and said.
“These are my two friends.” Zhang Xiaolong walked forward and smiled. He then took out a small fee and gave it to the two doormen, “They still have some other matters to attend to. If they come again later, tell them to come to the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion room and find me.”
The doorman quickly thanked him and agreed, then took the initiative to return to the door.
“Thank you!” The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the doorman leave.
“You're welcome. This is just a piece of cake.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled faintly, “Actually, you don't have to worry. There is no need to be embarrassed. A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. Furthermore, the tips here are not like those in movies and novels, where you would be forced to give a few large bills. It's fine to give ten dollars as a tip, but there is no need to force it.”
He could tell at a glance that these two people were not from Yanjing. Furthermore, they were not familiar with this place. They probably thought that he was not here to eat, and that they had to pay tips at a high-class hotel. However, they did not know how much they should pay, which was why they were so embarrassed.
“We'll know. Thank you!” Seeing that the other party had seen through her thoughts, the girl was once again embarrassed for a moment before she felt relieved.
“You're welcome. Then, we'll meet again.” Saying that, Zhang Xiaolong waved his hand and walked away.
“He looks to be around our age.” The girl whispered from behind, “He should be younger than us, but he seems to be very familiar with this place. Aiya, we should ask him more. This way, we'll be able to avoid the awkward situation.”
“To be able to eat here, he must be a rich second generation. It seems that the rich second generation has a lot of good people.” The boy nodded his head as well, “He said that he was in a private room in Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. However, we are not familiar with him. If we really go up, it will be even more awkward.”
“Let's think of a way ourselves.” The girl also felt the same way.
……
In the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion on the top floor, it was one of the best private rooms in the Celestial Mansion Family. There were only a few rooms like this on the entire floor. The facilities inside were very complete. It could be said that in the room, other than the special services, all the entertainment activities could be included.
Zhang Xiaolong arrived early, but when he entered, there were already people inside.
One of them was naturally Jiaang Qin, who had invited him out, and the other was the vice president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, Qu Hong. As for the other man who was about the same age as him, his hair was a little bald, but Zhang Xiaolong had never seen him before.
“Yo, Xiaolong, you came quite early. You really give me a lot of face.” Jiaang Qin saw Zhang Xiaolong's appearance and was a little happy.
According to Zhang Xiaolong's request, everyone was basically calling him by his name. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable if they called him by his name, “Mr. Zhang.”
“Dr. Jiaang asked me to come. How could I dare to not come!” Zhang Xiaolong gestured to everyone and then sat down.
“Let me introduce you. There's no need for Dr. Qu. You have already met him before. This is also an old friend of mine, Chen Zhi. He told me about you, so I must invite you out so that I can meet you. He even used two bottles of good wine to provoke me. Haha, I have no choice but to sell you out.”
Jiaang Qin's words seemed to be very unreasonable, but Zhang Xiaolong knew that he must have had other intentions. Besides, this person would definitely have a reason to see him.
His gaze swept across the other party, and he already understood the reason behind his visit. “Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be feeling well? And it has been quite a while, right?”
“Oh? You can tell?” Chen Zhi was surprised for a moment.
However, Jiaang Qin immediately realized that he didn't come to see Zhang Xiaolong, but Jiaang Qin. Jiaang Qin insisted that he come to see this person, who was said to be the rising star of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Realm.
“Don't look at me. I didn't tell him that you were here, and I didn't give him any hints. TCM emphasizes on looking, hearing, and questioning. It's not strange for Xiaolong to be able to tell.” Jiaang Qin laughed.
In fact, most people who were successful in Traditional Chinese Medicine, or those who were sensitive to skin color, could tell that Chen Zhi's complexion was not normal with just a glance.
“Xiaolong, can you tell me what kind of illness Mr. Chen has?” Jiaang Qin asked.
Chen Zhi was even more confused. If he could tell what illness he was suffering from just by looking at him, why would he need the hospital's medical equipment?
“I'm not too sure about that.” Zhang Xiaolong shook his head.
Other than acupuncture, he was not too proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Chen Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. Although the other party said that he was not too sure, this was normal.
“However, his complexion is dark and his eyes are a little strange. If I'm not wrong, there seems to be some lingering poison in his body, and it should have been a long time,” Zhang Xiaolong thought for a moment and said, “If that's the case, then we need to do it as soon as possible. If the poison doesn't get rid of itself in his body, it will continue to spread out.”
