Chapter 927 Doubt

For the past two years, their team had been developing a special medicine to treat insomnia.

Currently, countless people were suffering from the pain of sleeplessness due to various pressures.

Within a few months, the special medicine they developed showed significant results, and many people experienced substantial improvement in their sleep after taking it.

He also knew that many medical teams in other countries were developing similar special medicines, as the number of people suffering from insomnia was indeed too large.

However, he did not believe that other medical teams could be better than theirs.

"Medication has no effect on CEO Ning," Assistant Liu said with disappointment.

This was his oversight; he should have inquired beforehand when inviting someone.

Li Fei, with all his arrogance, also relied on special medicine.

If it were special medicine, with the Ning family's wealth, it would be simple for them to hire a top medical team.

"What?" Li Fei clearly hadn't considered this possibility. "Has the cause been investigated? Or was the previously taken medicine only moderately effective? I strongly recommend this special medicine I brought. Please have CEO Ning try it and see if it truly has no effect."

Seeing their attitude towards him cool down, he felt as though he had kicked a steel plate, losing all his dignity.

Ning Yecheng's expression was cold as he leaned back on the sofa, showing clear impatience.

"If Dr. Li has no better methods, then there's no need. Please leave," Assistant Liu immediately signaled Li Fei to depart.

It seemed like another doctor who gained fame through hype, lacking any real skill.

This time, he had disappointed CEO Ning again.

Li Fei, young and unwilling to concede, couldn't understand why he was being asked to leave after just a few words.

He had originally intended to use this opportunity to promote himself, letting more people know about him. After all, being recognized by the Ning family would greatly benefit him.

Instead, he was shown the door after only a few sentences.

"Can you give me a reason? I came from afar, and since you invited me, you must have heard of my medical skills. I believe you shouldn't be prejudiced against special medicine. If other people's medicine doesn't work, it doesn't mean my team's medicine is ineffective. Developing mistrust prematurely will not benefit CEO Ning, will it?" Li Fei straightened his back, his attitude even more arrogant than before.

Ning Yecheng narrowed his eyes and swept a glance.

The defiant Li Fei, who had been staring intently at Ning Yecheng, was caught off guard by his gaze.

He instantly felt a pang of fear.

He subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words.

"Dr. Li, there's no need to say more. Please leave." Assistant Liu's face had turned completely cold.

Did this Li Fei not know how to read the room?

Li Fei frowned deeply and, as he left, cast an extra glance at Zhan Xiaojun.

After all, she was a rare beauty.

He recalled that when he presented the special medicine earlier, she had shown clear interest, glancing at it a few times.

For some inexplicable reason, he felt she might also be a doctor.

A colleague?

Li Fei didn't have time to ponder further and didn't want to provoke anyone he shouldn't. He quickly exited.

The moment Li Fei left, Ning Yecheng placed a hand on his forehead and looked up at Zhan Xiaojun.

Their eyes met.

Zhan Xiaojun was somewhat taken aback.

His gaze was too intense.

Her heart suddenly beat a few times faster.

"I don't have any special medicine; I use acupuncture," Zhan Xiaojun said, pursing her red lips.

Given Ning Yecheng's wealth, she believed he had already tried the most advanced medical treatments.

If medication had no effect, it meant his constitution was special, and these drugs couldn't numb his nerves.

"Acupuncture?" Ning Yecheng's thin lips curved slightly, as if recalling the needle she had used on him a few days ago.

It seemed that needle had a slight effect.

"Miss Zhan, as far as I know, you dropped out of high school and have never studied medicine, let alone acupuncture. The last time you rashly used needles on CEO Ning, you were lucky; otherwise, the consequences would have been unbearable for you. And now you dare to lie to CEO Ning?" Assistant Liu, having just entered, heard Zhan Xiaojun's words and immediately questioned her.

After being deceived by Li Fei, now someone with Zhan Xiaojun's reputation dared to deceive CEO Ning?

Zhan Xiaojun was not only bold but also excessively ignorant.

"Some of my privacy is unknown even to my friends and family, let alone you. Do you know me better than I know myself? I am here. What benefit would bragging bring me?" Zhan Xiaojun retorted directly.

She was starting to find Assistant Liu incredibly annoying.

He talked too much!

"You!" Assistant Liu's face changed color.

He was momentarily speechless.

Ning Yecheng's lips curved slightly, and the girl before him piqued his interest. "You think I would believe you?"

Who had sent such a girl to approach him?

Or was it her own initiative?

It genuinely sparked a different thought in him.

"It seems you won't believe me now," Zhan Xiaojun stated frankly.

For the first time, she felt a man's thoughts were unfathomable.

Moreover, his somewhat forceful gaze gave her the peculiar feeling of being a prey.

"I'll give you a chance. Three months. Name your price," Ning Yecheng said, holding a cigarette between his fingers at some point.

Smoke swirled around him.

His refined face was obscured by it.

Making him not entirely visible.

But his words were quite direct.

"CEO Ning, please reconsider!" Assistant Liu quickly interjected.

As expected, CEO Ning had taken some interest in this girl!

Even as a mistress, with Zhan Xiaojun's background and reputation, she was not qualified!

Zhan Xiaojun was momentarily stunned, initially not reacting. Then she became angry. "CEO Ning, I promised to treat your illness, not be your mistress and sleep with you. It seems you still haven't thought this through. When you've decided on treatment, then have someone find me."

With that, she angrily turned to leave.

An incredibly arrogant man!

His mind was indeed filled with useless junk!

If her three brothers heard what he said, they would definitely not let him utter such words again!

Ning Yecheng's eyes suddenly became dark and unfathomable, gazing at the girl as she reached the door.

"I'll trust you this once."

He wanted to see how she would play out this act until the end.

And if she dared to actually use that silver needle on him.

That needle must have been taught to her for a long time, hadn't it?

Ning Yecheng now regarded Zhan Xiaojun as someone else's pawn, a pet he wanted to toy with.

Life had become somewhat boring after living ordinary days.

Zhan Xiaojun stopped.

She turned back to look at Ning Yecheng, her alluring face still cold.

To Ning Yecheng's eyes, every movement was captivating.

Her anger was precisely measured.

Not to the point of being annoying.

"Fine," Zhan Xiaojun had initially intended to leave, but considering the trouble that would arise afterward, it was better to resolve everything today.
