Chapter 414 Sister’s Worry

With a glint of his eyes, Ding Ning stuck a Speed-slowing Charm that he had long been prepared to him. As a beam of charm light flickered, the charm entered him.

This was a charm he specially made, which could slow down the speed of metabolism in him, but now it could only work in theory. As for how effective it was, he still had no idea.

Ding Ning took his wrist and amplified his Absolute Touch numerous times, nervously observing the changes in Qiao Zhenya’s body. When he found that the metabolism of Qiao Zhenya’s cells had begun to slow down as expected, he couldn’t help feeling relieved. It seemed that this method was feasible.

Facing the aging disease that no one in the whole world could treat, Ding Ning was not sure if he could cure it, either. What he could do was constantly use the charm to reduce the updating speed of his cells and supplement vitality for him at the same time, so to slow down his aging speed, and then elongate his lifespan.

But all this was based on the condition that his charm could work. As a result, he was lucky, and his bet was successful.

Since the first step was successful, the following procedure was simple. Ding Ning took out the Green Ivy Bead and guided the dense vitality that he did not want to give to his body, and the vitality moved along his meridians to every part of his body to repair the organs which had shown signs of aging.

One hour later, the organ-repairing procedure was finished. The white hairs on Qiao Zhenya’s forehead had miraculously become dark, and every piece of his kin had also begun to become white and glossy, meeting the standards of his current age.

But Ding Ning knew that this was only temporary. When the effect of the charm disappeared, he would return to his previous state and even age faster.

So, he, who had long been prepared, took out a charm made of red coral and put it on the neck of Qiao Zhenya who had fallen asleep. After doing all this, he opened the door wearily.

Qiao Qiao walked to and fro in the sitting room, feeling quite anxious. When she saw Ding Ning open the door, she went over nervously at once. “What about it?”

“So far, this disease can’t be cured. I can only use the jade charm to suppress it and slow down his metabolic speed. As long as he has the jade charm, he can live like a normal person, but he had better not do some vigorous exercise again, lest that it should make his metabolism speed up and cause the disease again. If that happens, he will age faster.”

Ding Ning warned very seriously.

What he did not say was that he carved two charms in the red coral. One was the Speed-slowing charm, which was used to suppress his metabolic speed; the other was the Soul-guiding Charm, which was used to automatically absorb the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth and slowly supplement Spiritual Energy consumption of the Speed-slowing charm.

This was to keep the balance between the consumption of the Speed-slowing Charm and the absorption of the Spiritual Energy. If he exercised too vigorously, the balance would be easily damaged and lead to the overconsumption of the Speed-slowing Charm. Then, the charm would lose its efficacy and make him sick again.

“I will let him remember that. Thank you, Ding Ning!”

Qiao Qiao cried with joy. Ding Ning had not cured Qiao Zhenya, but since he could make him live like a normal personal, she was very satisfied.

“Okay, I’m leaving. Thank you for inviting me. The treatment cost is 200!”

Thick-skinned, Ding Ning reached out his hand to ask for the treatment cost.

Qiao Qiao opened his cute little mouth in shock. “200?”

“Right, 200. A doctor should be benevolent. My master said that I can only charge 200 for each home treatment.”

Ding Ning pouted helplessly but protested inwardly. “Sister Qiao, you are too stubborn. I should ask a wealthy man like Qiao Yuhan to pay large sums.”

Qiao Qiao took out a check with fluster, forcibly put it into his hand, and being angry about his non-motivated attitude, said, “200 for each treatment, and when will you become rich?”

“What’s the use of charging so much money? To be a man like your father who thinks he can buy everything with money?”

Ding Ning knew that Qiao Qiao was different from Qiao Yuhan, but he couldn’t help ridiculing her, then put the five million check back into her hand, and said coldly, “I can’t change the five million check. Give me 200 cash or transfer money to me.”

Qiao Qiao’s eyes turned red, and she lowered her head, bit her red lips, directly took out 200 cash, and put it into his hand. “Let me see you off.”

“No need, I know the way.”

Ding Ning hardened his heart, waved his hand expressionlessly, pushed the door open, and left.

“Cured?”

The study’s door was opened. Dark-faced, Qiao Yuhan walked out and looked sharply at Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao turned around and took a deep breath to hide the tear marks on her face. “Yes, cured. My brother can live like a normal person.”

“That’s good. If he hadn’t cured my son, I would break his leg. Well, we won’t owe each other anything from now on, and you should not see each other anymore.”

Qiao Yuhan skewed the corner of his mouth and said coldly.

“Here is your check.”

Qiao Qiao looked gloomy and forcibly put the check into Qiao Yuhan’s hand.

Qiao Yuhan was a little shocked and said, “He didn’t accept the check?”

Qiao Qiao said ironically, “Not everyone treats money more important than anything else.”

“Humph, feigned purity, because he wants to leave you a good impression and build ties with our Qiao Family. Qiao Qiao, I’ve met many such bumpkins, and you shouldn’t be hoodwinked.”

Qiao Yuhan softened his tone a bit and persuaded earnestly, “You and he don’t belong to the same class. Now your status is different, and you won’t have any connections with him in the future. Don’t miss him anymore.”

“I know!”

After answering expressionlessly, Qiao Qiao turned around, walked into his brother’s room, closed the door, leaned against it, and cried uncontrollably.

“Qiao Qiao, open the door!”

Qiao Yuhan kept knocking on the door outside.

Qiao Qiao wiped away his tears and opened the door. Qiao Yuhan glanced at her, walked expressionlessly to Qiao Zhenya’s bed, and gently looked at his face which had just become young again, and he was in a sound sleep.

His eyes suddenly fell on the red coral on Qiao Zhenya’s neck and brightened, and he shouted in surprise, “When did Zhenya get the pendant made of the best red coral? This is something worth a few million.”

Shocked, Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of Ding Ning’s words and instantly shrieked, “Don’t touch it.”

“Look at the way you talk to your father! Don’t be afraid. I will just take a look.”

Qiao Yuhan said, dissatisfied.

“That is what Ding Ning gave him. He said that Zhenya’s disease can’t be cured temporarily. This jade piece can help him live like a normal person. Never take it off.”

Qiao Qiao explained hurriedly.

“Humph, don’t talk nonsense. He is a beggar. How could he use the best red coral to save others? Do you really think he is a great master who can make magic weapons?”

Qiao Yuhan didn’t believe a word of that, but since he treated his son’s life with great care, he did not do anything. With his status, he must have met some excellent magic weapon makers, but if someone told him that Ding Ning could make magic weapons and also use them to save lives, he would never believe it.

“No matter whether you believe it or not, you can’t take the jade pendant.”

Seeing that he did not believe her, Qiao Qiao lost her patience to argue. Since this was related to his brother’s life, she gritted her teeth to roar like a young leopard mother protecting her cubs.

“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t take it, okay? No matter what measures he took, he saved Zhenya once. Being a great family, our Qiao Family won’t owe this poor boy anything. Later, I will find a chance to repay him, lest that he should pester you.”

Qiao Yuhan said coldly, making Qiao Qiao feel powerless and sad.

Since her mother suddenly passed away soon after her graduation last year, Qiao Yuhan’s character had dramatically changed: He became domineering, autocratic, cold, and cruel. She could no longer feel the warmth of her father’s love, and he would never allow anyone to disobey his decisions.

Fortunately, her fate had recently come to a turning point, and Qiao Yuhan’s attitude toward her had become much better also because of it, but this turning point would only make her further and further away from Ding Ning. That was why she felt so much pain in her heart.

When he came home, Ding Ning found that his sister was very sorrowful and Luoxue was comforting her with whispers.

“What’s up? Sister, you’ve met any trouble?”

Ding Ning went over and asked with concern, and he had long forgotten the sleeping embarrassment of holding his sister in his arms last night.

“Alas, it is still the matter of the project. Although Zhu Chang’an and Director Ma have been arrested, Ninghai’s local building materials suppliers are unwilling to end this matter and are still making more trouble. Without enough building materials, how can I finish the project as scheduled? By then, I will have to pay an astronomical penalty, which will destroy our Longteng Group.”

Ding Qianlie said with worries.

Ding Ning instantly passed Holman’s autograph to Uncle Zhang and angered. “What’s wrong with these building materials suppliers? They don’t want to make money? What about the previous cooperation partners of our group?”

“Forget it. Those building materials suppliers who cooperated with us before are in dilemma too. They did want to earn the money, but they were warned by the Industry Association. No one wanted to offend the Industry Association because of us, so we had to stop the project.”

Leaning against Ding Ning’s shoulder, Ding Qianlie said with distress, “Initially, I thought that with Prince Halidan’s recommendation, we would be able to reach a deal with the Dibai Business Mission and also force the Industry Association to become a little restrained. After all, this is the business cooperation that even the National Business Department attached great importance to, but I never expected that their Mission’s leader Apudule is a just and stern man. Although he added our Longteng Group’s name to their business tour list, he will still conduct a strict formal investigation and require an effect display.”

“Do I need to tell this to Halidan again?”

Ding Ning never expected that this matter could be so complicated and said with a frown.

“Useless. Mission Leader Apudule also said that although they are a Dibai Holding Company, they need to be responsible for the Dibai royal family. A successful business deal must be based on the cooperation partner’s decent power.”

Ding Qianlie said with distress, “Their main cooperation project is refrigeration equipment this time. You know that most areas in Zhongdong are deserts and are very hot, so manufacturers of advanced refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and others are their first target. Previously, Dibai was very dissatisfied with the brand of a German manufacturer that it cooperated with. Thus, it plans to find a more advanced refrigeration equipment manufacturer to cooperate with this time. Based on this, it will consider other aspects of cooperation.”

“Is there any refrigeration equipment manufacturer in our group?”

Ding Ning twisted the section between his eyebrows into a knot.

“Yes, there is an “Ice Sea” refrigeration equipment factory in our group, but their requirements are too harsh. With our current production technology, we can now produce a refrigerator with the cold-air and frost-free function in its refrigerating chamber, but how can we make all the refrigeration equipment free from noise and the freezers free from ice?”

Ding Qianlie said anxiously.

“Can a refrigerator be called refrigerator if its freezer is free from ice?”

Ding Ning asked with confusion.

“It’s not that the freezer doesn’t freeze. They mean they want two larger freezers. One can be used to make ice, and the other cannot even with the same low temperature. I guess the Dibai Great Hotel wants to replace all its refrigeration equipment and provide the best service. After all, the sailing hotel is a seven-star hotel. The project is not big, but if we can take it, it means that our “Ice Sea” has the top production capacity in the refrigeration equipment industry. This will be a live ad, which can build the best word of mouth and take our “Ice Sea” to the international market.”

Ding Qianlie heaved a sigh, “Alas, pitifully, our researchers have no such ability.”
