Li Rui recalled the history of his relationship with Qingman and nodded: "We kissed when we were dating, but we stopped after we got married. You know that she's more traditional and can't let go of this kind of thing, so I didn't want to mess around with her." Zixuan asked nosily: "Then when you two are intimate, can she let go of it?" Li Rui looked at her with a faint smile and said: "Stupid girl, are you having feelings for love again?"
Just as he finished speaking, his face had already made intimate contact with Zixuan's silk leg. Luckily, Zixuan didn't kick too hard, or else he would have been kicked into the door.
When he returned to Qingyang Hotel, it was already past 4 pm. Li Rui went straight to Qingyang Hotel to tell his brother that Huang Xinghua had obtained the copyright. At the same time, he wanted to see if Xie Peilan and her brother had arrived and if they had settled down.
Before Li Rui even opened the door, a faint smoke entered his nose. It smelled like a fragrance but also like medicine. After smelling it, he felt very awake. His heart skipped a beat. He guessed that the Xie siblings had already arrived and were currently treating Huang Xinghua. Among the treatments that Xie Peilan had mentioned to treat Huang Xinghua, one of them was moxibustion. This strange smell should be from the moxibustion. He raised his hand to hold the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.
In the past, when he came to visit Huang Xinghua, he still had to knock on the door. But now, since they were so close, he didn't have to care about this and just opened the door and walked in.
The smoke in the room was even thicker. After Li Rui took a few breaths, although he didn't feel uncomfortable, he couldn't help but frown. Luckily, it was only the smell, but not the smoke. There wasn't a smoky scene like he imagined. He looked up and saw two people in the living room. One was standing, the other was sitting. The one standing was Liang Gen, who was looking at the bedroom door.
The person sitting on the sofa was a woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had a head of soft and thick black shoulder-length hair that was parted in the middle. Half of her hair fell naturally from her forehead while the other half was tucked behind her ears, revealing half of her thin, snow-white cheeks and the fine hair on her temples. Her face was pretty, her facial features were pretty, and under the light makeup, she was tender and beautiful. She was wearing a moon-white office lady suit, and under the short skirt was a pair of long legs that were comparable to Dong Jieyu's. Even if she was just sitting beside the sofa, it still couldn't hide her slender and straight curves. She wore thin black stockings, making her look even more sexy and charming. She wore a pair of black high heels, which made her legs look even more slender. She sat on the sofa without moving. She was looking down at a document on her lap. She was very focused. Even when Li Rui came in, she didn't look over.
Li Rui saw this beautiful woman's outfit and was secretly amazed. He also felt that it was interesting because her white suit and black stockings were the opposite of Zixuan's gray suit and nude stockings. However, they were equally sexy and charming. In fact, this woman in front of him was even more attractive than Zixuan. Although Zixuan was more beautiful, men knew that a woman's main attraction to men was her body, especially her thighs, breasts, and buttocks. In these three areas, this woman in front of him was much better than Zixuan. Dong Jieyu could only be on par with her.
Liang Gen saw Li Rui enter the room and hurriedly went up to greet him. "Xiao Rui, you're here?" Li Rui nodded and asked, "Have Pei Lan and Du Zhong arrived and are now treating my brother?" Liang Gen did not like the Xie siblings from the beginning, and he did not hide the annoyance on his face as he said, "That's right. They arrived before noon, and after lunch, they started to treat your brother. They used Qigong and moxibustion, causing the room to be filled with smoke. Are they doctors or witchdoctors? They're just short of dancing. "
Li Rui was secretly unhappy when he heard this. Wasn't this Liang Gen the descendant of the founder of Wing Chun, Liang Zan? He should be a traditional Chinese. It should be easier for him to accept Chinese medicine. Why didn't he trust Chinese medicine? This was not a good sign. He only hated the Xie siblings now, but in the future, he might use his privilege as a bodyguard to restrict or even harm the Xie siblings. Wouldn't that delay Huang Xinghua's treatment? However, he didn't say anything and only said, "I'll go in and take a look."
After saying this, he walked to the door of the bedroom. The beauty sitting on the sofa looked up at him. Of course, she could only see his back. Then, she lowered her head again as if she had no interest in him.
Li Rui didn't knock on the door and directly entered the room. When he entered, he saw Xie Pei Lan and Xie Du Zhong. Each of them was wearing a white coat and masks. They were performing moxibustion on Huang Xinghua, who was lying on the bed.
In the past, moxibustion was done by holding a lit mugwort incense and placing it close to the acupuncture points. If it was done for a short period of time, the doctor could still endure it. But if it was done for a long time, the doctor's hands and arms would tremble, which would affect the treatment. Modern Chinese medicine practitioners were very smart. They invented an automatic moxibustion device. It was a small plastic pot that looked like a trumpet. The pot's mouth was open, and there were holes in it for inserting the lit mugwort incense. There was tape on the edge of the pot to stick to the skin around the acupuncture points. Before using it, the mugwort incense would be stuffed and lit. Then, the small pot would be stuck on the acupuncture points. The hot smoke produced by the burning mugwort incense would be used to soothe the acupuncture points. As the pot was sealed, the high-pressure medicinal air flow formed by the smoke could penetrate deep into the acupuncture points. The effect was better than manual methods in his previous life.
Right now, Huang Xinghua's upper body was naked, and there were over ten moxibustion devices on his right chest and right arm. Although the small pot used for moxibustion was sealed well, there was still smoke leaking out. The smoke rose to the roof and dispersed outside. This was also the reason why Li Rui could smell it when he was outside the room earlier.
Li Rui looked at the scene in front of him. He felt a little sad, but he didn't show it on his face. He first greeted the Xie siblings, "Peilan, Duzhong, it's been hard on you two." After that, he said to Huang Xinghua, "Big Brother, I'm back."
The siblings looked at him. Xie Peilan didn't say anything and nodded to him as a response. She lowered her eyes and continued with her work. Xie Duzhong said, "It's not hard. Brother Li, you don't have to be so polite with us. Old Huang is a patriotic overseas Chinese, and he's also from Shannan. It's our honor to treat him. Hehe. "
Huang Xinghua asked, "Did you get the rights to the adaptation?" Li Rui smiled, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. I got it as I wished. I can fly to Shanghai tomorrow to discuss the contract with my friend's film company."
Huang Xinghua was also very happy. He shouted outside the door, "Ah Gen … Ah Gen!"
Xie Peilan heard him and frowned slightly. She looked at Li Rui and said to Huang Xinghua, "Old Huang, you're in the middle of the moxibustion. It's better to close your eyes and rest. Don't talk and don't think too much."
Huang Xinghua smiled, "I'll be done soon. I'll close my eyes and rest when I'm done. Hehe."
Xie Peilan shook her head helplessly and ignored him.
Liang Gen ran into the room and said, "Master, I'm here! What can I do for you? "
Huang Xinghua said, "Ask Cindy to come in!"
Li Rui suddenly realized that the woman outside was Cindy, whom Huang Xinghua and Cha Xiaoxian had mentioned before. She was one of the investment advisors of Huang Xinghua's family group and also Cha Xiaoxian's assistant. He didn't expect her to be so beautiful and outstanding.
Cindy was quickly called into the room. She spoke in fluent Mandarin, "Chairman Huang, what do you need me to do?"
Huang Xinghua pointed at Li Rui with his left hand and said, "Cindy, this is my sworn brother, Li Rui. You'll go to Shanghai with him tomorrow to discuss a cooperation with a film company. My sworn brother will be in charge of this trip. You'll only be in charge of the contract and legal review. "
Cindy looked at Li Rui and asked, "Chairman Huang, is this investment from the group or …"
Huang Xinghua said, "It's my personal investment. If there's a need, I'll consider setting up a cultural company with the investment group that's in preparation. I'll use this company's name to sign the final contract with the other party. However, I'll need the results of your trip to Shanghai tomorrow."
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat. An investment group that's in preparation? What does that mean? Is Big Brother going to set up a group to invest in Qingyang City? Is it for the convenience of investment management, or is it because of the large number of projects and the scope of the investment, so it's necessary to set up a parent company? Li Rui didn't really understand, but he knew that Big Brother's investment in his hometown was definitely not small.
Cindy nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Should I book the tickets or should I listen to Mr. Li's arrangement?"
Huang Xinghua said, "Of course it's you. Cindy, during this trip to Shanghai, I hope you can treat yourself as my sworn brother's secretary. Do you understand what I mean? "
Cindy said, "I understand. I'll book the tickets now."
Huang Xinghua said, "No, you should first ask my sworn brother when he'll be free tomorrow."
Cindy looked at Li Rui. Li Rui said to her, "He'll be free tomorrow morning. He can leave at any time. You can book the tickets." Cindy said, "Okay, Mr. Li." Then she turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Xie Peilan turned around and looked at Cindy. When she turned back, she saw her brother, Xie Duzhong, winking at her. She glared at him and continued with her work.
Li Rui asked the siblings, "How long will it take for the moxibustion to end?" Xie Duzhong thought for a while and said, "About an hour. Brother Li, if you're busy, you can go and do your work first. You can come back in an hour."
Li Rui said to Huang Xinghua, "Then Big Brother, I'll go out and do my work for a while. When you're done with the moxibustion, I'll show you the authorization letter." Huang Xinghua waved his hand and said, "You don't have to show it to me. You've been running around for half a day. You must be tired. Go and rest. "
