Chapter 317 Finally Standing Up
Maldini Jr. picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then, he licked his lips. The world-famous financial giant and living Midas people looked up to now seemed a little intense.
After a pause, he asked, âMedical Sage, what do you think of this whole investment thing?â
âIâll think about it. Weâll discuss the cooperation in detail when Iâm ready to enter the European and American markets.â Qin Haodong looked at him with an intrigued look and then asked back, âMr. Maldini Jr, is this really what you want to talk about?â
He had already sensed that the man bore an unspeakable difficulty that might be some kind of disease.
Maldini Jr. looked both intense and embarrassed as he replied, âMedical Sage, Iâm here to talk about my disease. Thatâs also why I visited the Celestial Land this time.â
He had suffered from an unspeakable illness for years and visited a great number of famous doctors, but none of them had been able to treat him. A couple of days ago, Qin Haodong had cured Old Maldiniâs brain tumor with acupuncture. He had been talking his son into this trip to the Celestial Land ever since. Maldini Jr. hadnât trusted Chinese medicine back then, so heâd thought being cured wouldnât be possible.
However, a few days ago, when the Blood Revival Elixir had entered the market, Maldini Jr. had sent someone to study this specific situation. After he was convinced that Qin Haodong had developed a drug that could completely cure leukemia, he became a believer of Chinese medicine and started trusting Qin Haodongâs medical skills. In no time, he had set off on this trip to the Celestial Land for the treatment.
âOh, what can I help you with?â Qin Haodong asked.
âWell⊠Iâve heard that Chinese medicine practitioners have a magical way to diagnose things. They can tell the illness by feeling oneâs pulse. I wonder if thatâs true.â
Maldini Jr. didnât answer Qin Haodongâs question directly.
âOf course it is. The four ways Chinese Chinese medicine practitioners diagnose are by looking, listening, questioning and, like youâve said, feeling the patientâs pulse.â
âThen can you feel my pulse?â
âSure.â
Qin Haodong put his hand on his veins as soon as he answered. He had already diagnosed Maldini Jr.âs illness vaguely. He was just trying to make a trick out of this, and he became certain about his idea after feeling the pulse.
Maldini Jr. found it hard to talk about this because he had a serious male-specific disease. In the slang of the Celestial Land, this was called âEmasculated since Birthâ, which meant that his penis worked for nothing but peeing. No wonder Lin Momo said he still hadnât gotten married or created any rumors. Heâd had no chance to be caught in gossip under the circumstances.
Given the position he was in, he mustâve had many wooers. However, the more women courted him, the bigger the burden he felt. His assistant, Alice, had been batting her eyelashes at him, but he wouldnât even look at her if she stripped off.
After getting all the information, Qin Haodong retracted his hand. The man asked nervously, âMedical Sage, whatâs wrong with me?â
He had been visiting famous doctors from all over the world in private all these years, but none of them had been able to cure him. The diagnosis of the hospital was that his physical development was normal. Why did his penis keep lowering its head before women then?
Qin Haodong actually liked this passionate, straightforward guy. Therefore, he quit trying to make fun of him and said bluntly, âIâve heard of your problem, and I know thereâs nothing western medicine can do about it. Chinese medicine is your only hope.â
âMedical Sage, are you saying that you can cure my illness?â
He had harbored a lot of hope while coming to the Celestial Land this time, but he had also been captured by fear. His voice was trembling while he heard Qin Haodong say that his illness was curable.
âChinese medicine has a concept called âmatch the medicine to the indicationsâ. Youâll be cured fast as long as we can find the cause,â Qin Haodong said as he took out his needle bag, âCalm down. In ten minutes, Iâll make you a second-to-none sex machine.â
It turned out that what caused Maldini Jr.âs Erectile Dysfunction was the blocked meridians he had been born with. The meridians that connected his manhood and other parts of his body couldnât transfer nutrients, which was why his penis wouldnât stand up.
Western medicine had no way to solve that dysfunction. Even among all the Chinese medicine practitioners, Qin Haodong, who used Rejuvenative Acupuncture, might be the only one who could cure this.
Ten minutes later, Qin Haodong pulled all the silver needles out of Maldini Jr.âs waist and asked, âHow do you feel?â
âI feel warm on my waist. Itâs comfortable, but it still doesnât work,â Maldini Jr. answered intensely.
âDonât worry! Thereâs one last step!â
Qin Haodong then pressed on the Shenshu Point in his lower back and injected a wisp of Green Wood Genuine Qi. Maldini Jr.âs meridians, which had been blocked for more than thirteen years, were immediately fixed. His penis stood up in no time.
He had never felt this before. Maldini Jr, who couldnât be more excited, cried out with tears in his eyes, âItâs standing up! Finally!â
His family business was worth hundreds of billions, so he had been surrounded by beauties all day. He had experienced deeply the feeling of âno playing, only watchingâ. Now that he had been cured, he would be able to hold his head up at last.
Qin Haodong patted his shoulder and smiled. âMr. Maldini Jr, Iâm glad youâve been cured. Have a good day!â
He then knocked on the door of the other room and left the hotel with Lin Momo, leaving Maldini Jr. and Alice alone for the night.
As Qin Haodong walked, his lips cured into a smile. Maldini Jr. had finally gotten his penis to stand up, so he would definitely make up for suffering for so long. Qin Haodong could even hear Alice cry out in joy.
After hopping in the car, Lin Momo said, âWhat was that about, Haodong? Was Maldini Jr. hiding something? Did he say anything important to you?â
Qin Haodong repeated the whole curing process and concluded, âNow you know why he had no girlfriend and created no gossip.â
Lin Momo was surprised by the news. It had never occurred to her that this world-renowned rich man would have that kind of secret sorrow.
Qin Haodong smiled and said, âHappiness is actually always around you. Your daily life may be what someone else is striving for. Now letâs go back and enjoy our lives!â
He patted heavily Lin Momoâs thigh while watching her charmingly.
âStop it!â Lin Momo certainly knew what Qin Haodong was implying. Her blushing cheeks glowed like the sunset.
She soon realized something and sighed indignantly. âPoor Xiaoxiao. She waited for that jerk for more than five years. That man is such an ungrateful scumbag.â
âSheâs poor, indeed, but weâre all grown-ups. No one else is to blame for the way she chose to live her life.â
âNo one except Wang Dacheng. That jerk! Xiaoxiao has been so nice to him. Their family business took off because of the help of Xiaoxiaoâs father. I still canât believe he pursued me over her. I bet that guyâs head has been kicked by a donkey!â
Qin Haodong said, âThink about it, Momo. There were many more complicated factors that drove him to pursue you.â
âComplicated factors?â
Lin Momo was a very smart woman, or she wouldnât have become the president of the group. She had been occupied this time only because she felt angry.
She thought calmly for a few minutes and then said, âNow that youâve mentioned it, I find it weird, too. Wang Dacheng had never shown any affection to me before. It was strange that he suddenly came here and tried to pursue me.
He knew very well that Xiaoxiao and I are BFFs. He shouldnât have chosen me even if he wanted to use a woman as a target.â
Qin Haodong said, âThatâs why I thought he was acting suspiciously.â
Lin Momo contemplated this and said, âIs this about the Blood Revival Elixir?â
âVery likely.â Then, he added, âAs youâve said, he wasnât that into you before, but now he showed his affection for you in public. Thatâs unusual.
He chose to do it at a special time, when the Blood Revival Elixir had just entered the market. He did this to arise public attention. The fact that he just came back from M Country makes him even more suspicious.â
Lin Momoâs expression changed as she asked, âYou mean that he had something to do with Wilsonâs Company?â
âMaybe, but Iâm not so sure. Many people see the Blood Revival Elixir as a chicken that can lay golden eggs. Many companies, including Wilsonâs Company, have been watching us. This could be another opponent hiding in the dark.â
He thought about it. âApparently, Wang Dacheng knows nothing about Chinese medicine, which means that he was never a fan. However, he came back hastily and established the Hall of Medical Fame. He is either going after our formula, or trying to share a piece of the pie of the Chinese medicine industry.â
âNow that youâve mentioned it, itâs crossed my mind that Wang Dacheng does not trust in Chinese medicine at all. He had made quite a lot of speeches against Chinese medicine during student union activities. Now, he suddenly wants to invest in the industry? How weird is that?â
Qin Haodong said, âWeâll see. I donât care what he is after. Regardless of whether this is his personal compassion or desire to get a finger in the pie of the Chinese medicine industry, Iâll welcome him warmly as long as he helps Chinese medicine develop. If he tries to poison the well, then Iâll show no mercy.â
His eyes turned grim when he said that. Chinese medicine was declining now. Therefore, he wouldnât allow anyone to harm the industry.
In the Wang Villa, Wang Haiting and his son went back to their own rooms frustratedly after they returned home.
Wang Dacheng had been depressed after coming back from the club, but his face changed immediately when he closed the door of his room. His disappointment disappeared, and he looked like someone else.
He checked the door to see if it had been locked. Then, he took another phone out of the drawer and dialed a number.
When the call was connected, the person on the phone asked, âHowâs it going?â
âNot so well. Thereâs been an accident!â Wang Dacheng said, âI pursued Lin Momo to cause conflict between her and Qin Haodong, but it didnât seem to work.â
âWhy? You should be charming enough to attract her. Qin Haodong will be mad if sheâs affected.â
Wang Dacheng said, âThis time was different. Lin Momo had no feelings for me. She actually hated me because of my relationship with my ex-girlfriend. Qin Haodong seemed pretty cool with it and sure about Lin Momoâs love. He didnât look jealous at all.â
âItâs fine. It doesnât matter if they turn on somebody or not.â The man then asked, âHowâs the establishment of the Hall of Medical Fame going?â
âJust fine. Iâve established it, but now that Qin Haodong is the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, half of the famous doctors in the Celestial Land have refused to join us.â
âThat annoying bug! Heâs such a pain in the neck!â
Wang Dacheng agreed. âHeâs a big trouble-maker. The cooperation between us and Midas Investment Corporation has changed because of him. Maldini Jr. refused to cooperate with me clearly, so weâll have to find another way to solve the funding issue if you want to invest in the factory.â
