224: Acupuncture!

Acupuncture!

Qin Yan heard the pounding of gavel in the auctioneer's hand. She felt relieved that no one increased the price.

After discussing some things with Liu Ran and telling him to find her a broker who could help her register her business and renovate the building, the two of them separated on the road.

The next day.

"Dr. Wei, did my brother also have no reaction today?"

Qin Yan put down her backpack and approached Qin Mufeng.

"Yes, but don't be disappointed. After the serious injuries he sustained, it's already a miracle that he's alive," Wei Yuanfan replied.

"I'll take a look at him. As for the care worker, can you please ask him to visit often and take care not to stop the massages."

After lying in bed for long periods of time, muscle atrophy was common. If they didn't stretch his body and massage his muscles, and he continued to lie there, his body would become useless even if he woke up in the future. If that happened, he would never walk again.

"You don't have to worry about that. I've been visiting him several times a day."

Wei Yuanfan's eyes lit up as he watched Qin Yan pull out an acupuncture needle.

"Miss Qin, may I stay and watch? I guarantee that I won't make a sound and disturb you!"

Wei Yuanfan had witnessed Qin Yan's impressive skills. Moreover, Qin Mufeng was her brother, so he knew she would never make a move unless she was 100% sure.

When he was young, he had read many wuxia novels. Inside, the Chinese medicine practitioners were amazing and he had once longed to witness them at work. Only later did he find out that there were too few Chinese medicine practitioners who really had the skills.

Who knew he'd witness these amazing skills in this young lady.

"That's fine. If possible, can you give me a hand?"

Qin Yan nodded as she asked Wei Yuanfan to help her untie Qin Mufeng's hospital gown. She lowered her eyes, concentrated, and applied the needle…

The tip of the thin silver needle vibrated. Qin Yan focused all her energy on Qin Mufeng. She pressed her lips together and continuously used the needle to stimulate his acupuncture points.

Half an hour later, Qin Yan sighed.

"Okay, this is it for today. Thank you, Dr. Wei."

Qin Yan put her needle away, stood up, and sincerely thanked Wei Yuanfan.

"It's nothing!" Wei Yuanfan waved his hand. "I should be thanking you for teaching me something new."

He stuck out his tongue, hoping that the acupuncture would be effective.

If Qin Mufeng actually managed to wake up — that would be a real medical miracle!

Qin Yan left the ward before she got a call from Liu Ran who ushered her to meet the broker who would handle everything for her to set up her company. Brokers had a very important role in the business world. They connected all the businesses and businessmen and businesswomen together through them.

Of course, there are some brokers who couldn't resist money and thus, would only stick close to one person or two. They also cost a lot more than you think. One broker could amount to millions and some even tens of millions. There were also some cheaper brokers, but if you didn't want to be scammed and given a useless connection, one must avoid them at all costs.

The broker that Liu Ran introduced to Qin Yan was called Maria Chang. She was of Filipino-Chinese descent and had been in the brokering industry for five years. But one couldn't underestimate her just because she played in the industry for only five years as she had several big shots in her list of clients and had been in contact with them ever since.

When Qin Yan met Maria Chang, she was in for a bit of a shock. Maria was younger than she thought and a bit of a smaller height around 5'1.

And when they first saw each other, the first thing that Maria said to her was, "I'm not a middle schooler."

Qin Yan wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Not in front of the person in concern.

It was true that Maria was small and really looked like she was a middle school student. But Qin Yan didn't look down on her. This woman was the one Liu Ran chose as her broker, of course, she should be quite useful.

"Nice to meet you... I am Qin Yan."

"Nice to meet you too," Maria looked at the woman in front of her. It was just as Liu Ran had told her. Qin Yan looked very beautiful and bright. But more than that, Maria could already sense that the latter was a capable and ambitious woman.

The smile on her face deepened as she moved closer to Qin Yan.

Previously, when Maria received a call from Liu Ran about Qin Yan, she was slightly uncertain. Though she trusted Liu Ran's judgement in the people he thought was good, she was afraid that someone would be too fake and pull a false upfront on Liu Ran and trick him.

Maria took Qin Yan to a cafe. She said to the waiter, "I'd like to order a cup of Cappuccino." She turned to Qin Yan and asked her what she wanted.

Qin Yan didn't hurry and skimmed over the menu, she finally said, "Hot dark chocolate."

After ordering and after the waiter left, Maria pulled her briefcase and took out the business registration papers before handing it over to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan looked down at it and was very satisfied. Everything was done meticulously.

"Thank you."

"I heard from Liu Ran you're starting a company. Have you thought about the employees and shareholders?" Maria asked quickly, worried that Qin Yan was new and had no knowledge on starting her own company.

She had known several heirs and heiresses who wasted their parents' money to create their own company and businesses. However, they did not know how to manage their companies and ended up bankrupting a few weeks or months after.

That was why Maria was worried. Probably because she didn't know what Qin Yan's reason to start her own company was, she was a bit nervous.

"You do not have to worry, Sister Maria. I have experience in handling a company in the past. As for employees, I think there are a lot of opportunity seekers in the imperial capital," Qin Yan calmly said, chuckling to herself at the good memories she spent with Yun Jian in managing her pharmaceutical company.

Seeing how confident she looked, Maria pressed down her worry.

The waiter came back with their drinks. The two of them thanked the waiter before grabbing their drinks and sipping from it.

After a while, the two of them finally finished their drinks in silence. Qin Yan paid for their drinks. And after bidding farewell to each other, they separated on a good note, planning to meet each other once again when they had time.

The next day, Qin Yan again went to visit Qin Mufeng.

After applying acupuncture, the man lay peacefully in his bed, breathing long steady breaths.

There was a pink scar on his forehead and his chest heaved with every breath.

If one didn't look at him carefully, they may have thought he was dead.

Even the machinery connected to his body was quiet without any reaction.

Qin Yan held onto a book and sat quietly by his side.

The weather was good today, so the window was open. Every now and then, the temperature increased a little.

Sunlight filled the room, dissipating the scent of disinfectant.

The man's eyes were shut tightly. He had lost a lot of weight, and his powerful aura had disappeared. All that was left was a sick and pale body.

Click—

The room door was pushed open.

Qin Yan glanced over. The middle-aged man who entered looked like he had clearly aged.0

In the past, he had Qin Mufeng to share the burden. Now, everything was on his shoulders.

After flying back and forth, today was the first day that he got some time to rest, so he decided to visit Qin Mufeng.

There were a lot of bodyguards outside. On the way home, Lu Yaran complained in her high-pitched tone that Qin Yan was always opposing her. She even got people to guard Qin Mufeng's room and not let her in.

But…

Qin Yicheng did not get angry. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Lu Yaran loved her son, but her love was sometimes too extreme. If they left her alone with Qin Mufeng, who knew what stupid thing she would do.

He felt a lot more comfortable with Qin Yan by his son's side.

After their eyes met, he quietly looked away.

Qin Yan stood up. She placed a bookmark in her book and shoved it into her backpack.

She nodded slightly and quietly left Qin Yicheng's side.
