Chapter 33: Yunhai Pavilion
After Ning Yu's playful teasing, the atmosphere became more relaxed and Chen Tong was no longer tense. Su Nan's hand stroked Chen Tong's belly, naturally sensing the changes. Knowing it was time to give her acupuncture, he put down his hands and took out the needle package.
Having had experience with Ning Yu's treatment, Chen Tong looked at the long needle in Su Nan's hand and didn't feel afraid. She lay there calmly, allowing Su Nan to insert the needle into her body.
After acupuncture, proceed with massage as per previous protocol. Chen Tong lay on the bed, recalling the sensation Ning Yu had described before, and now she was experiencing it herself - a warm current that made her feel languid, flowing back and forth inside her body, ironing out all the knots within her wherever it went.
"Alright, rest well now and we'll continue the treatment tomorrow." Su Nan stood up, but still couldn't help sneaking a glance at Chen Tong's plump buttocks. Ning Yu was a dance major, with a toned physique, her buttocks were perky and upright. In comparison, Chen Tong's figure was more voluptuous, so her buttocks also appeared more rounded. And under the tight pants, the outline was even more striking, although Su Nan controlled himself, he still couldn't help but steal glances from time to time.
The next morning, Su Nan got up as usual and went to the stadium of Pucheng University for exercise. It was just that after not having to go to work, he suddenly had some free time and didn't have to rush through his morning routine like before.
After exercising, he went home and changed his clothes, then had breakfast. For a while, Su Nan didn't know what to do next.
He had told Zhou Ying that he wanted to make money with his medical skills, and of course, it wasn't just an idle boast. In fact, he already had two targets in mind. The first one was Liu Shaozhou. On the day when Wang Tianhe invited him out, Liu Shaozhou arrived halfway through, although they had only met once before, Su Nan had already diagnosed that he suffered from a very serious illness, or rather, poisoning.
At that time, Su Nan had mentioned this matter to Yu Xiaohui before.
But even Yu Xiaohui, who regarded him as a benefactor, did not believe it, let alone others. So Su Nan has been waiting all along.
According to his judgment, the poison had no effect in the initial stage, but once it took hold, it would be rapid and not only cause people to lose consciousness, but also make it impossible to find the root cause. Unless you knew what kind of poison it was, you could directly treat the symptoms with medicine. Otherwise, the patient would only lose their life after a period of unconsciousness. Fortunately, this situation was recorded in "Cha Wei Ji", so Su Nan was able to discover Liu Shaozhou's abnormality at the first time.
At that time, Su Nan had mentioned to Yu Xiaohui that as long as Liu Shaozhou couldn't find a treatment method after being poisoned, Yu Xiaohui would definitely think of him. By then, they would come to look for him when there were no other options left.
Calculating the time, Liu Shaozhou should have had an outbreak yesterday. The reason he hasn't contacted himself until now is probably because they are still in the hospital seeking a solution.
"Brother Wang, what have you been busy with lately? If you have time, please come out for a cup of tea and bring Sister Yu along. I'll treat today at noon." Su Nan wouldn't just wait around, he had to show his face in front of Wang Tianhe, deepen his impression, and let him recommend himself to the Liu family in a timely manner.
"Alright." Wang Tianhe agreed readily. He had a pretty good impression of Su Nan, who always maintained an equal attitude towards him, unlike others who thought they were doing him a favor and tried to get as much benefit from him as possible.
They agreed on the time and place, and then ended the call.
Yunhai Xuan is very famous in Pucheng, of course this fame is not external reputation, but basically everyone in the upper class knows about this place. As the general manager of Shunxing Company, Wang Tianhe naturally also knew where Yunhai Xuan was located. So when Su Nan asked where it would be suitable to meet, he directly mentioned this name.
Su Nan currently has no car and Yun Hai Xuan is far from where he lives, so he needs to make early preparations. After hanging up the phone, he didn't wait any longer and went out directly.
Inside the Pucheng Park, there is a bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest, there is a small path paved with bluestone, winding and extending inside. Walking along the path all the way forward, suddenly a clearing appears, giving people a sense of sudden openness. The clearing is surrounded by a large courtyard with a fence, and in the middle of the courtyard is a small lake, about the size of a football field. In the middle of the lake is a small bridge that leads directly to the inside. On both sides of the lake are several small pavilions scattered around. Further inside, after crossing the bridge, there is a three-story building.
Although Su Nan said he was treating, the location was actually chosen by Wang Tianhe. Otherwise, if Su Nan had come alone, he wouldn't have even been able to get in the door. Even with Wang Tianhe's reservation, since he wasn't the boss of Xingxing Company, they could only book a table on the first floor lobby. They basically couldn't go upstairs to the second or third floors, let alone those few attic rooms outside.
Found Wang Tianhe's reserved table, Su Nan sat down. Although Yunhai Xuan was pretentious, the service quality was good and they didn't look down on Su Nan for his ordinary clothes. He ordered a cup of green tea, savoring it slowly while waiting for Wang Tianhe and Yu Xiaohui to arrive.
Although it is a table, it is not like an ordinary large hall where everyone can see each other. Here, each table is separated from others by screens, and except for the sound, you cannot see what's happening elsewhere.
"Haha! Old Wang, admit defeat already! After thinking for half a day, you should see that you're completely out of power!" someone exclaimed loudly and excitedly.
"Nonsense! Old Li, shut your mouth. Don't you know that a true gentleman doesn't speak while watching chess? What are you shouting about? I just thought of a move and you shouted it away. You owe me compensation, and I'll play the next game!" Another voice shouted out in dissatisfaction.
"Haha, I'm telling you, Old Wang and Old Li, can't you two keep your voices down a bit? Aren't you afraid of losing face when others hear you? You two stinky chess players, taking turns to play against me, still have the nerve to shout so loudly?" Another voice chimed in with a teasing tone.
"Hum! Old Hu, you're really talking nonsense. Just now I was clearly letting you win a game, and now I won't let you again. I'll make sure to defeat you thoroughly!" Li old man's voice rang out, "Wang old man, hurry up and step aside, watch me take revenge for you, this time we must beat Hu old man!"
"Hmph!" This time it was Old Man Wang's voice, apparently not very willing. But they must have agreed beforehand that whoever lost would give up their seat. Although unwilling, there was no way out, so he could only let Li Old Head take his place.
Su Nan sat and listened for a while. Since it was still early for his appointment with Wang Tianhe, he stood up and walked to the next room to watch the old men play chess.
This is also a characteristic of Yunhai Xuan. As soon as Su Nan entered, he saw that the walls of the hall were filled with calligraphy and paintings, and an ancient zither was placed in one corner. As for Go and Chinese chess, several sets were placed on the service desk, presumably to be taken away by anyone who wanted to play.
A fashionably dressed woman is playing the guqin. Several people are standing next to her, nodding their heads and tapping their feet from time to time, applauding occasionally. They must also be guests who came to drink tea.
When Nan came over, the three old men looked at him and didn't say anything. Just like a wine party, guests would hold their cups and walk around, chatting with others at will. In the main hall of Yunhai Xuan, it was also normal to walk around freely, watching others write, paint, play chess or play the piano. Most people who could come here were people of status, pursuing a certain taste, making friends with like-minded people, which was beneficial to both parties.
Su Nan once told Chen Tong that he was proficient in all aspects of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which was not just a casual remark. From childhood under the personal guidance of his grandfather, he had an interest in these traditional knowledge and worked hard to learn them, indeed mastering them all.
Standing by the table and watching for a while, Su Nan easily saw the strengths and weaknesses of the two players. The old man Hu was indeed one move ahead, if his level was measured as ten, then Li Lao's current chess skill was only seven, the difference wasn't small, of course he couldn't win.
Just a few moves, Li's situation has already fallen into crisis. The chess pieces under his command, although struggling hard, are restricted everywhere and cannot make a comeback. On the contrary, his old general is already a bird in a cage, only needing Hu to push it lightly to capture it.
At this moment, Lao Li still did not realize his own danger and continued to command the army to continue attacking.
The chess piece was still in his hand, not yet fallen, when Old Li raised his eyes and swept a glance at Old Hu, who had an air of profundity about him. But out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Su Nan standing there with a faint smile on his face, his mouth slightly upturned.
"Slap!" Old Man Li stretched out his right hand, stopping the chess piece that was about to fall. He glared at Su Nan, "You little brat, what are you laughing at? Are you mocking me?"
"Not at all, sir. Please continue." Su Nan's smile remained unchanged as he lightly gestured for Li to make his next move.
"No way, I feel that your kid's smile is not good intention." Li old head is not stupid, he knows that his chess level is far inferior to Hu old head. Although nothing can be seen from Hu old head's face, but when he saw Su Nan's smile, he was inexplicably shocked in his heart. Just because of this, he cannot put this move on the chessboard. In order not to let Hu old head and Wang old head pursue himself for regretting the chess, of course, he has to divert the conflict to Su Nan. "Hehe, kid, you temporarily help me old man hold off for a while."
These old men are all cunning. If you say that at the beginning, they didn't understand Li's purpose, but after thinking about it, they all understood.
"Old Li, don't interrupt, no regrets after the fall, hurry up and put down the chess piece!" Old Hu, of course, would not let go of winning this game against Old Li, urging him on from the side to put his chess piece on the board.
"Haha! Old Hu, you just said 'no regrets after the move', my piece hasn't even landed on the board yet, of course I can take it back." Li old man laughed loudly, delighted that he had figured out his next move.
"Suit yourself!" Old Hu didn't bother arguing with him. "No matter how you play from now on, this game of chess is already lost for you."
Old Li naturally knew this situation, his eyes rolled over and he glared at Su Nan, "You little scoundrel, come down here!"
