The moment the representative team heard that Su Tao was leaving, many of them personally paid him a visit to bid farewell. They even expressed that they must find time to plan a gathering when they returned to the country. Hence, the representatives of the various enterprises established a group chat. Aside from Mr. Xue, only Su Tao was present in it. Even Yue Zun wasn’t invited to join the group. Then again, it was mainly because of the good impression that Su Tao left in the various enterprises. His style had won everyone’s goodwill.

Even Mr. Xue privately went to look for Su Tao and requested for Su Tao to take up the healthcare service for the Vice Premier. That also meant that Su Tao might have to follow the Vice Premier for future activities. Since Mr. Xue knew that Su Tao was a busy man, he told Su Tao to adjust his focus well and sort out a balance in his official and private matters.

Hence, Su Tao spoke to Mr. Xue about his thoughts. With regards to the Three Flavour Hall and Three Flavour International, he had practically handed them over to professionals to manage, and his focus was on the Qihuang Charity Funds as well as executing his duties as a National Healer.

Hearing those words, Mr. Xue was satisfied with Su Tao’s critical thinking and revealed to the latter about the Vice Premier’s intention to greatly promote the TCM culture.

This might seem to be a piece of small news, but don’t underestimate it. As long as someone pays attention to it, they could make use of politics to forge a massive business empire. Thus, Su Tao started to ponder. Regardless of his mountain herbs project or the TCM medicine factory, both of those projects needed to be established as soon as possible. Furthermore, he also had to promote the development for the mobile consultation application so that it can soar with the help of politics.

Actually, Su Tao’s various projects could be developed much faster since he didn’t lack capital. But since he pursued precision and provided the best service, he had been pondering the details over and over again, which slowed down the development.

Hence, Yan Jing felt that Su Tao was the slackest boss since he could give up on the management and financial report. But at the same time, he was also the most difficult boss since he had a strict requirement for some details, and his obsession over those was practically perverse. He wouldn’t allow any half-assed work.

Take the few derivative products that the Three Flavour International intended to launch, for example. But since the effects weren’t as good as the Beautifying Cream and Restoring Serum, it was directly rejected by Su Tao.

Another example would be the admirers that approached him every day intending to open their own Three Flavour Hall branch in an alliance manner, but they were all rejected by Su Tao.

Su Tao might not seem to care about anything, but his obsession over his requirement on the core was practically perverse. But then again, it was also related to his profession. A doctor had to be meticulous, and they cannot leave any flaws behind that might lead to future problems.

Before Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan returned, Jiang Qinghan made a trip to the supermarket and bought a Matryoshka doll for Yan Sha as her present.

Meanwhile, Su Tao also bought a bunch of stuff. He’s no longer alone right now, and everyone in the Three Flavour Hall was practically his family members. It’s rare for him to go overseas, so he had to buy some presents to show his intention.

When Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan got off the plane, they found an unlicensed carpool cab. There were unlicensed cabs that went from Qiongjin City’s airport to Hanzhou City every day. Not only was it inexpensive, but it’s also convenient. Although there wasn’t any insurance, the two of them still chose this method since it allowed them to return home faster. When the cab found enough people, it flew through the road and sent the two of them to Hanzhou City’s bus station, which the two of them flagged a cab for the Yan Family’s residence.

By the time they arrived, the sun was already down. Yan Wujin prepared a whole table of dishes, and Yan Sha had also showered. She’s currently waving the palm-leaf fan around at the flies as she waited.

When Jiang Qinghan and Su Tao got out of the cab, Yan Wujin and Yan Sha came out to receive them with smiles. Seeing her family again, Jiang Qinghan felt a little sour in her nose since she found the feeling of home from them.

In the past, she couldn’t feel it since her heart wasn’t around to feel the warmth. Hence, Jiang Qinghan was determined to spend more time with Yan Sha in the future. She had a clear conscience as a police officer, but as a mother, she felt that she owed Yan Sha too much.

Carefully taking the doll, Yan Sha placed it on her desk with sweetness in her heart and smiled. “I’ll do another twenty mathematics sum today!”

“If you really manage to do it, I guarantee that I’ll get you a present every time I have to go on an official trip.” Jiang Qinghan sourly smiled.

Putting on a straight face, Yan Sha replied, “I hate others provoking me the most! Just watch me do it!”

After that, she wanted to immediately dive into her room and start on her homework.

However, Yan Wujin held onto Yan Sha and smiled. “Rest for tonight. Your mom just returned, so let’s have a meal together.”

As for Su Tao, he did not consider himself as a guest. Looking at the dishes on the table that were purchased from food stalls and even frozen food bought from the supermarket, he went into the kitchen and whipped up two more dishes. After that, the four of them sat at the table as they chatted about the trip to Russia. Occasionally, Yan Wujin would sneak a glance at Jiang Qinghan to examine her expression.

When they finished their meal, Su Tao cleaned up the table while Jiang Qinghan stowed the cutleries. All of a sudden, Yan Wujin pulled Su Tao to the side and asked, “She found Yan Sun?”

“Accurately speaking, master found the answer that she’s looking for, so you don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.” Su Tao replied after a brief ponder.

Nodding his head, Yan Wujin did not pursue as he looked at Su Tao and instructed, “Come and look for me at 5 a.m. from tomorrow onwards!”

Su Tao knew that Yan Wujin was going to teach him the core techniques, to which he immediately nodded his head. “Roger!”

All along, Su Tao felt that Yan Wujin hasn’t been teaching him the true essence of his martial arts. Otherwise, how would he be so weak and get into such a mess by just facing the Nineteenth Dragon, where he had to rely on sudden bursts to kill the latter under a barrage of random punches?

During the second morning, Su Tao found Yan Wujin on time by the lakeside.

Yan Wujin was fishing while pointing at the lake. “Remove your clothes and go in!”

Although it’s early summer right now, the lake was still cold in the morning. However, Su Tao could only listen to Yan Wujin’s instructions and strip himself clean before jumping into the lake. But before he could react, Yan Wujin suddenly whipped his fishing rod over.

Su Tao swiftly reacted and managed to dodge it, but Yan Wujin would constantly shake his wrist, which the fishing hook would fly in his direction under precise control.

Su Tao knew that Yan Wujin was trying to put him under pressure so that he could learn how to survive in danger.

With the resistance from the water obstructing his actions, Su Tao couldn’t dodge at his full potential. However, the barbed hook would occasionally brush past his body. Furthermore, along with the stimulation from the water, the pain made Su Tao gnash his teeth.

On the shore, Yan Wujin slowly explained, “Since ancient times, martial arts have been used to kill. What I taught you in the past was just the foundation, and if you want to improve yourself, you will need practical fighting experience to know how to utilise that foundation. In a battle with life and death on the line, no one gives a damn about elegance. What we emphasise is to defend and attack. From today onwards, I will teach you the brutality of martial arts.”

But before Su Tao could reply, the fishing line lashed on his body.

Yan Wujin might be getting on his age, but he still possessed terrifying power. Receiving all those attacks nearly enraged Su Tao, but he was tenacious and did not even utter a single noise. He gathered all his attention and managed to dodge two attacks. But how would the experienced Yan Wujin go easy on him? The fishing hook felt as if there were eyes growing on it, targeting Su Tao’s blind spots, leaving him flustered.

The entire process lasted for an hour. After Yan Wujin looked at the time and knew that people would be coming over soon, he said, “Alright, that’s all for today. Come and look for me at this time tomorrow again.”

Upon hearing those words, Su Tao weakly sighed. Yan Wujin also took advantage of the fact that he possessed decent medical skills, so those attacks were only superficial injuries.

At the same time, Su Tao was determined to learn martial arts well and hollered, “Roger!”

After returning to the Three Flavour Hall, Su Tao cleaned up his injuries, he would feel pain from all over his body. He knew that Yan Wujin did it on purpose. If one wasn’t tempered by pain, they wouldn’t be able to immediately go into their fighting stance upon encountering an expert. Any Martial Arts Grandmaster was created by accumulating their practical fighting experience and continuously breaking through their limits.

After briefly resting, Su Tao headed to the Three Flavour International's building. He spoke to Yan Jing about some of his thoughts yesterday, which Yan Jing wanted to hold a meeting to discuss them and invited him over to sit in.

The moment he stepped into the main hall, he saw a board with his photo on it in the center. Walking over to the board, he compared it to himself. It was created based on his size; however, that they edited his complexion a little too much. Looking at the board, he found himself looking like a sissy, which he made a mental note about getting Yan Jing to fix it.

Yan Jing was already in her office, sorting out documents. When her secretary brought Su Tao in, she raised her head a little and smiled. “I still have some matters to handle, so find a seat yourself. I’ll talk to you later.”

With a smile, Su Tao started going around the office, which his gaze ultimately fell onto two photo frames. One of them was Hua Yan’s individual photo, while the other one was a photo with him, Qin Meimei, and Yan Jing. Looking at the photo, Su Tao knew that Yan Jing used her scheming capability when placing it there. She wanted to put his photo there, but she was afraid of gossip. Hence, she used one with Qin Meimei in it as well.

Looking at Su Tao messing around with the photo frame with a smirk, she ran over and seized it over before she grumbled, “Can you have some respect? Why are you looking through someone’s stuff!”

“We share such an intimate relationship, so aren’t we practically one entity?” Su Tao smiled.

“Who’s one entity with you!” Yan Jing snapped with a smile. When she finally sorted out the last document, she called her secretary to distribute them.

Thereafter, Yan Jing brewed a cup of tea for Su Tao. After Su Tao took a few mouthfuls, she flipped her hand over and smiled. “Let’s go, our respected Chairman Su. Please attend the meeting and examine our work!”
