Previously, Master Yang’s complexion was pale. After Chen Fan’s treatment, his color returned to normal, with a hint of rosiness.
Seeing this, Yang Sitian’s old face broke into a smile, and he said excitedly, "Chen Fan, thank you!"
Chen Fan waved his hand casually, viewing it as a trivial matter.
"Just remember to transfer the money!"
"Yes, yes… no problem!" Yang Sitian chuckled. In his eyes, Second Master Yang was far more important than money, for he was the pillar of the Yang family.
Feeling his body recover, Second Master Yang got out of bed and knelt, saying, "Chen… Chen Fan, thank you for saving my life!"
Chen Fan nodded, wrote down a prescription, and said, "Your injury is internal. You need to take internal medicine. Get the herbs according to this prescription!"
Second Master Yang took it and replied, "Okay…"
After handling the immediate matters, Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing left the lounge to attend the birthday banquet.
The banquet, originally centered around one protagonist, now had two: Yang Sitian and Xia Bingqing.
As soon as she appeared, the passing Jiangnan merchants all crowded around her.
Their faces were all smiles, full of flattery.
"Ms. Xia, hello, I am the chairman of Haitian Company from Shuoshi!"
"I am from Changlin Industrial!"
"And us…"
The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, led by Wang Liang, also surrounded them, all with fawning smiles.
They flattered both Xia Bingqing and Chen Fan.
Tonight, Chen Fan's name was destined to become famous in Jiangnan.
This was Xia Bingqing’s first time experiencing such adoration, and she felt a bit embarrassed. She said, "Everyone, I… I don’t drink much…"
"Ms. Xia, you don’t need to drink, just a gesture is fine!"
"Yes!"
"It is our greatest honor for you to clink glasses with us!"
"That’s right!"
Xia Bingqing was somewhat overwhelmed but nodded. "Then… I’ll toast all of you!"
"No, no, no, it should be us toasting you!"
Xia Bingqing felt a little shy at their words but still engaged in merry conversation and drinking with the Jiangnan businessmen.
As for Chen Fan, he was on the side, enjoying the lavish feast.
Soon, three to five flamboyantly dressed beauties, all tall and top-notch beauties, approached him.
"Brother Fan, hello, may we get acquainted?"
"I'm Lili!"
"I'm Angie!"
"And… also, I can drink plain water today!"
Chen Fan hadn't expected so many charming women to suddenly surround him. He smiled, "Of course, we can get acquainted!"
"Great, could you give us your phone number?"
"We’ll call you later!"
"Yes… we sisters can be together!"
They winked suggestively.
Chen Fan, even with his eyes closed, knew their intentions but didn't expose them. "Alright, alright…"
The beauties giggled happily, unable to close their mouths.
For them, if they could win over Chen Fan, it would be akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate, a meteoric rise.
Therefore, they all put on a show, waiting for this great opportunity to fall into their laps.
Xia Bingqing, from within the crowd, saw many beauties surrounding Chen Fan. A pang of jealousy struck her. She politely excused herself from the merchant beside her and went to Chen Fan’s side, deliberately clearing her throat. "Drinking is drinking, why are you swaying?"
The beauties scattered as soon as the true empress arrived…
Naturally, they dared not provoke Xia Bingqing.
