Chapter 94

"Doctor Wu! I'm not flattering you; everything I said is true. I, Zheng Huatang, dare to say that you are absolutely the most skilled and ethical doctor I have ever met. Otherwise, you wouldn't have refused the 500,000 yuan consultation fee I offered you without hesitation." Although Zheng Huatang still didn't understand why Deputy Secretary Deng was so concerned about Wu Potian, his years of business experience told him that someone who could make Deputy Secretary Deng so concerned was definitely not an ordinary person. To get closer to Wu Potian, Zheng Huatang naturally wouldn't let such a rare opportunity slip away.

Seeing Zheng Huatang bring up the 500,000 yuan consultation fee again made Wu Potian feel a bit embarrassed. He said to Zheng Huatang with a gloomy expression, "Mr. Zheng! Please don't keep bringing up the consultation fee. I didn't charge because the patient was a child. If it had been an adult, my fees would have been quite high."

When Zheng Huatang heard Wu Potian's response, he didn't know if Wu Potian was telling the truth, but instinctively thought that Wu Potian didn't want to show off. He smiled and said to Wu Potian, "Doctor Wu! Please go wash up, and then let's find a place to sit and chat."

Wu Potian didn't expect Zheng Huatang to be so persistent. Although this experience made him realize the importance of networking, he wasn't good at socializing. Moreover, Lin Xiaqing was still by his side. Instinctively, he replied, "Mr. Zheng! Your enthusiasm really leaves me at a loss for how to refuse, but I appreciate your kindness. Let's meet another time when we have the chance!"

Although Lin Xiaqing had learned about Wu Potian's experiences over the years and knew that he had achieved his dream of becoming a doctor, she subjectively believed that his medical skills were on par with those of ordinary doctors. However, now, after seeing Wu Potian save someone with silver needles, her bright eyes revealed admiration without reservation, and she felt an immense sense of pride.

Lin Xiaqing was very clear about why her mother opposed her relationship with Wu Potian, which was mainly due to Wu Potian's family background and his choice not to pursue a political career. But in Lin Xiaqing's eyes, even if Wu Potian didn't choose a political path, she believed that with his medical skills, he would have many more reliable friends in the future than political allies.

Thinking about this, and considering Wu Potian's future, despite not liking the current social situation, Lin Xiaqing took the initiative to say to Wu Potian, "Potian! Since Mr. Zheng is so热情地邀请你，我们就去坐坐吧！"

Lin Xiaqing's response undoubtedly shocked Wu Potian. He didn't expect her to accept the invitation, but after a brief moment of surprise, he quickly understood her purpose. Feeling grateful, he replied to Zheng Huatang, "Mr. Zheng! Since Xiaqing wants to sit and chat, let's do it together!"

Seeing Wu Potian accept the invitation, Zheng Huatang, Deputy Secretary Deng, Wang Xudong, and others were undoubtedly very pleased. However, they were not ordinary people and didn't show their true feelings on their faces. Only Zheng Huatang wore a happy smile and invited Wu Potian, "Doctor Wu! My car is outside, this way please!"

Just as Wu Potian finished washing his hands and was about to leave the entrance of Pin Yi Xuan, an elderly man's voice suddenly called out behind him, "Doctor Wu! Please wait a moment!"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Wu Potian instinctively stopped and turned around. He saw an elderly man in his seventies and felt very puzzled. However, he politely asked, "Sir! May I ask what you need?"

The elderly man's name was Hua Guowei, the current head of the Hua family, a renowned Chinese medical family, and the president of the Chinese Medical Association. He had come to Fujian Province at the request of an old friend to treat a critically ill elderly person. Unexpectedly, in this small city of Hancheng, he saw the long-lost Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique.

Chinese medicine is profound, and the most essential part is acupuncture. Among the most famous techniques are the Yellow Emperor's Unity Needle, the Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique, the Trembling Needle, and the Heaven and Earth Needle. However, due to historical changes and the outdated thinking of the ancestors of various medical families, these once-famous techniques have long been lost, leaving only vague records in some rare medical books. Whenever Chinese old doctors think of this, they sigh with regret.

However, today, Hua Guowei was fortunate enough to see the legendary Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique in this small city of Hancheng. How could he not be overjoyed? When he heard Wu Potian's question, he quickly grasped Wu Potian's arms and asked excitedly, "Doctor Wu! My name is Hua Guowei, from Yanjing. I want to ask if the acupuncture technique you used to save that gentleman was the Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique?"

Wu Potian was very surprised to hear Hua Guowei's question. The Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique was a lost technique. It wasn't until over a hundred years later that a tomb raider discovered this technique in an ancient tomb, allowing it to be passed down again.

Although Wu Potian was also from a medical family, he had been focused on learning medical skills in recent years and rarely paid attention to medical news. Therefore, he didn't know who Hua Guowei was. When he saw that Hua Guowei knew the technique he used was the Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique, his face immediately showed shock. He looked at the elderly man in front of him and asked, "Sir! How do you know I used the Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique just now?"

Upon receiving Wu Potian's confirmation, tears streamed down Hua Guowei's face. He said to himself, "I never thought it was really the Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would have the chance to see the Qilin Life-Extending Nine-Needle Technique! This is enough for my life!"

Apart from those who came with Hua Guowei, no one else in the scene recognized him. However, his name was well-known in China, and he could be described as a towering figure in the Chinese medical community. Even among high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, there was a saying that knowing Hua Guowei was like having an extra life. As a result, many officials and businessmen were proud to know Hua Guowei.

Therefore, when the guests who had heard this saying heard Hua Guowei introduce himself, their faces all showed shock. They couldn't believe that the elderly man in front of them was the famous Hua Guowei, and they were even more surprised that the acupuncture technique Wu Potian used to save someone could make Hua Guowei so emotional. Immediately, a buzz of discussion filled the entrance of Pin Yi Xuan.
