The two of them had left the hotel at 3 pm, which was still quite early . At first, they wanted to go straight back to Lianshan County . However, Sun Zhengrong invited them to dinner . Wang Yao wanted to decline, but Tian Yuantu had accepted the invitation . As a result, they could only leave the next day .
"What do you think?" When they had left, Sun Zhengrong spoke to the expressionless man who had not spoken a word .
"He looks like he has some capabilities," the expressionless man said cheerlessly .
"Yes . He could detect Yunsheng's illness from merely taking the pulse . At his age, he is indeed capable . I'm just afraid that he may not have a way to treat him . "
Sun Zhengrong gazed at his unconscious son lying on the bed and sighed .
All these years, his business had expanded tremendously, and his family's power had grown correspondingly . All was good—except that his son had worried him greatly . Ever since he was struck by the strange illness, Sun Zhengrong had sought for help from renowned doctors but did not see good results . On the contrary, the condition had worsened .
…
As there was still some time before evening time, Tian Yuantu drove Wang Yao around to explore Dao City . At the seaside, they stopped and walked to the beach . Although it was springtime, the sea breeze was still very strong and quite cold .
"Is the illness very hard to treat?" Tian Yuantu asked .
"Very difficult," Wang Yao answered . In fact, he had not thought of a way to treat the illness; he only had a vague inkling .
"It looks like Sun Zhengrong is no ordinary man?"
"Yes . He is a well-known man in the province . His net worth exceeds a hundred billion, and he dabbles in property, food and beverage, electronics and many other industries," Tian Yuantu responded . "Actually, I do have a favor to ask of him . That is why I asked you here . My apologies . " Tian Yuantu told the truth after thinking it through .
"Haha, it's okay . " Wang Yao smiled and waved his hand .
He could already tell that Tian Yuantu and Sun Zhengrong were business partners and were not really friends . Under usual circumstances, Wang Yao would not have come . However, as he had the mission assigned by the system, he had agreed to come . He could take the opportunity to explore and have fun at Dao City; there was no disadvantage in this situation .
"Such a person will have sought help from the most renowned doctors, and yet they have been unable to treat his son?"
"National divine physicians are a rarity . Most of them are located in the capital city and are not that easy to seek . While a net worth of a hundred billion is already beyond grasp in our eyes, in certain peoples' eyes, this is nothing," Tian Yuantu remarked, smiling .
The two of them stayed at the seaside for a while, and the sky slowly grew dark . They then drove back to the hotel . Tian Yuantu pointed out to Wang Yao that this hotel was a very famous one in Dao City and was one of the hotels belonging to Sun Zhengrong's hotel group . It was evident that his business was huge .

Dinner was sumptuous and quite extravagant .
Wang Yao had not heard of certain dishes, let alone seen them . Sun Zhengrong did not speak much . However, the atmosphere was still genial . On the other hand, Wang Yao did not like the ambiance; it made him uncomfortable .
During the dinner, Sun Zhengrong expressed his gratitude to both of them and hoped that Wang Yao would inform him as soon as he had figured out a way to treat his son .
When the dinner ended, Sun Zhengrong prepared some gifts for them . Additionally, he gave Wang Yao a card . It was a bank card .
"What does this mean?" After leaving the private room, Wang Yao asked Tian Yuantu . He did not want to keep it, but while in the room, Tian Yuantu had hinted to him to accept it .
"Fees for your house call . "
"The rich are indeed different . " Wang Yao shook his head .
"Will you please show some respect!" a voice cried .
Wang Yao followed the voice and saw a graceful lady, dressed in a light trench coat with shoulder-length hair . He could only see her back view . At her side, there stood a slightly plump man who had tangled with her .
This back view looked a bit familiar .
"Why? Do you want to be the hero who saves the beauty?" Tian Yuantu smiled and commented when he saw Wang Yao's reaction .
"I'll take a look . " Wang Yao walked towards the commotion, and Tian Yuantu smiled and followed him .
"What are you doing!?" the woman cried again .
"Let's make friends!" The man's hand was about to reach out to the lady when his hand was caught in mid-air .
"Who are you?!" the man exclaimed . He was extremely displeased with Wang Yao's sudden appearance .
"Wang Yao?"
"Tong Wei?!"
When he looked at the lightly made up beauty, Wang Yao was surprised to note that the woman was his old classmate . He did not expect to meet her here . Tong Wei was just as shocked .
"Why are you here?!" the two of them exclaimed at the same time .

"Who are you? Let go of me!" The man who was caught at the wrist by Wang Yao was vigorously attempting to shake him off . However, Wang Yao had a vice-like grip on him, and it felt quite painful .
The two of them had not expected to meet each other at such a place and in such a manner . The last time they met was before the Chinese New Year .
At that time, the beauty was like a flower, showered by the attention of many . However now, she was met with a storm .
"What's going on?" At that moment, a man wearing a suit walked over from afar . "Chairman Ding, what are you doing?" That man's beaming face looked at the man who had attempted to harass Tong Wei .
"I wanted to befriend this lady . She must have misunderstood me . "
"Tong Wei, this is the guest we are meeting today, Chairman Ding," that man remarked .
"Manager Li, he—" Tong Wei frowned .
"Let go!" Chairman Ding's face had turned an ugly shade . On one hand, he felt that he had lost face and on the other hand, he was feeling the pain as Wang Yao's grip was extremely forceful .
"What's going on?" At this moment, another voice rang out . This time, it was Sun Zhengrong who had exited the private room and witnessed the scene .
"Chairman Sun!"
"Mr . Sun . "
Seeing Sun Zhengrong, Chairman Ding and Manager Li, who came with Tong Wei, were both shocked to meet Dao City's all-powerful businessman at this place .
"I guess Chairman Ding must have drunk too much," Wang Yao calmly said .
"This is a misunderstanding," the originally arrogant chairman hurriedly tried to explain . It was obvious that he was awe-struck by Sun Zhengrong .
"Go home to rest if you've had too much to drink," Sun Zhengrong calmly responded .
"Yes, yes . " The man named Ding quickly nodded his head in agreement . He looked like a junior who had seen his ringleader and acted very obediently .
Wang Yao could sense this man's pulse pulsating erratically, and his forehead was beaded with sweat .
"I have matters to attend to and will leave now . Please go ahead with whatever you need to do here," having said that, Sun Zhengrong departed .

His statement represented that Wang Yao and Tian Yuantu could freely spend time in the hotel without paying . The hotel was an integrated one and had more facilities beyond restaurants and accommodation .
"Chairman Ding, regarding tonight—?" Manager Li asked in a soft voice .
"We'll talk another day . " Chairman Ding's voice had calmed down tremendously and had the air of wanting to leave immediately .
"Tong Wei, let's see off Chairman Ding?" Manager Li said .
"Sorry Manager Li, my classmate is here," Tong Wei responded .
"Okay, you carry on . Chairman Ding, I'll see you off . "
"No need . "
After the two left, the corridor was left with the three of them—Wang Yao, Tong Wei, and Tian Yuantu .
"I'll just walk around for a bit . " Tian Yuantu smiled, patted Wang Yao's shoulder and then left .
"Let's find a place to sit?" Wang Yao smiled and said to Tong Wei .
"Sure . "
The hotel had a café with a nice ambiance . The two chose a seat by the window, ordered two cups of coffee and sat there . The view was a beautiful night scene of the seaside .
"Why are you here in Dao City?" Tong Wei smoothed her hair and gently asked .
"I'm here with a friend to run some errands . I didn't expect to meet you here . It's such a coincidence," Wang Yao responded .
"Yes, it's such a coincidence," Tong Wei propped her cheeks with her hands and remarked in a soft voice .
"Will the incident earlier affect your work?"
"It's okay, I already have thoughts of leaving this job," said Tong Wei, smiling .
As the two of them were chatting, Manager Li and Chairman Ding were outside the hotel .
"Chairman Ding, apologies for what happened tonight . I apologize on behalf of Tong Wei and will come to you another day to make a formal apology," Manager Li smiled and said . The person before his eyes was his company's very huge client . Offending him was not an option .
"Forget it! Beautiful women are disasters!" Chairman Ding said morosely .
"Chairman Ding, have a safe journey . "
Manager Li, who looked no older than 30, glanced at Chairman Ding's departing car and sighed softly .
"Why did such a thing happen earlier?!"
At first, he thought that in inviting Chairman Ding to a dinner, he could conveniently close the deal . Hence, he especially sought permission from his boss to also invite the company's pretty lady, Tong Wei along . After all, some things could be more easily accomplished with the help of a pretty lady . Unexpectedly, this incident occurred, and the deal would most likely fall through . He had no idea how to explain this to his boss .
"I wonder what kind of person her classmate was, to have connections with Sun Zhengrong? Is there potential to get his business?" upon this thought, Manager Li's eyes brightened .
…
"What does your company do?" Wang Yao asked .
"Investment and financial management," Tong Wei smiled and replied .
"Financial management?"
"Yes . Put your money with our company, and we'll invest it for you to generate a return . We will charge a commission for this," Tong Wei explained .
"I know . What are the returns like?"
"Hmmm, that is hard to say . But it's definitely higher than the banks . We have several types—minimum guarantees or riskier investments . Before actually making the investment, we will ensure that we seek the client's opinion," Tong Wei said .
"What is the minimum investment?"
"Two hundred thousand yuan . Why? Do you want to invest?" Tong Wei propped her chin up and smiled at Wang Yao .
"No, just casually asking . "
"When will you be going back?"
"Tomorrow, since I'm done with the errands here . "
