Chapter 102: He Was Simply Unlucky

Watching Ye Yaoyao pull out a silver needle, Feng Yuqi’s expression shifted instantly. Could it be that the boss possessed medical skills as well?

Feng Yuqi was stunned on the spot, his admiration for Ye Yaoyao growing deeper. Was there anything in this world that the boss didn’t know?

Ye Yaoyao looked up and caught the astonished look in Feng Yuqi’s eyes. She touched her nose, momentarily at a loss for how to explain.

Indeed, she had never revealed her medical abilities to anyone before, not even Feng Yuqi. So his shock was understandable.

“Don’t be nervous. I really do know medicine. I…” Ye Yaoyao hesitated, unsure how to quickly convince Feng Yuqi to trust her and allow her to treat him.

Before she could finish her sentence, Feng Yuqi obediently lay down on the bed like a fish ready to be filleted.

“Go ahead,” Feng Yuqi said, barely able to contain his excitement. “I thought maybe one of your friends was suspicious, but it turns out it’s you yourself, boss. Since that’s the case, I’m sure I’ll be fine.”

No wonder the boss had been so confident earlier—she had the skills herself.

Ye Yaoyao was a little speechless. Sometimes human faith was just that powerful.

“Alright, but don’t move. No matter what, stay still,” she warned Feng Yuqi, partly to scare him.

Her needles were swift and precise; if placed correctly, there would be no pain.

She searched Feng Yuqi’s face for any trace of panic but found none. It seemed he truly trusted her.

The first insertion was to clear the blockages in Feng Yuqi’s meridians. It hurt a little at first, but afterward, an endless smoothness followed.

Feng Yuqi felt a comfort that radiated from his body to his heart. The boss’s technique was truly impressive.

After clearing the meridians, Ye Yaoyao withdrew the needle and began the treatment. Because the meridians had been painful, she needed to reconnect the severed tendons and vessels.

As she worked, Feng Yuqi felt his body connect from head to toe, accompanied by a tingling sensation. Warmth spread from his head all the way to his feet.

The feeling was light and ethereal, and Feng Yuqi’s respect for Ye Yaoyao grew even more.

Indeed, the boss was extraordinary—even the sensation of being treated was different!

The first treatment session ended.

Feng Yuqi’s condition was severe and required seven days of treatment from Ye Yaoyao to fully recover.

In truth, Ye Yaoyao had a faster method but it was risky. She didn’t want Feng Yuqi to take chances, so she chose a steady and reliable approach.

Ye Yaoyao pulled out the needle and patted Feng Yuqi. “How do you feel?”

“This is an unprecedented feeling!” Feng Yuqi’s eyes gleamed. “Boss, is there anything in this world you can’t do?”

At that moment, he felt that befriending Ye Yaoyao was like having a treasure chest—there was nothing he couldn’t get from her.

Feng Yuqi was strong in body but a bit lacking in intellect.

Ye Yaoyao, worried he might be too reckless in the future, poked his head. “Of course there are things I can’t do. There are many things in this world I’m not good at.”

Thinking of the torment Feng Yuqi had suffered under Shen Sheng, she sighed heavily, full of helplessness. “You need to be more tactful from now on. Don’t just blindly charge into everything, understand?”

“Alright, I’ll listen to the boss.”

“And keep this secret.”

Feng Yuqi was momentarily stunned, then nodded vigorously. “Got it!”

Just then, Yu Wanqing pushed the door open. Ye Yaoyao didn’t disturb their moment and quietly stepped out.

She was aware that Shen Yan was secretly undermining Shen Sheng. Since someone else had taken action, Ye Yaoyao didn’t need to get involved and risk exposure.

Of course, she would always keep an eye on the situation. If Shen Yan faltered, she would be the first to step in.

Shen Sheng, beset on all sides, had no choice but to seek help from the matriarch of the Shen family.

The matriarch was irritated at the sight of Shen Sheng. Like everyone else, she had always favored Shen Yan, believing him to be more outstanding.

If not for Shen Yan’s recent loss of control, she wouldn’t have even called Shen Sheng back.

At that time, Shen Sheng had boldly promised to outperform Shen Yan. And yet?

Because of Shen Sheng, she was now subjected to ridicule by the old bastards at the company!

Since he was asking for help, Shen Sheng put away his usual arrogance and served tea and dishes to the matriarch.

He could imagine how submissive he must look, but he had no choice but to endure it.

“Grandma, the weather’s nice today. How about I take you for a walk in the garden?”

After pouring tea for the matriarch, Shen Sheng massaged her shoulders.

“Alright, let’s go.” She sipped her tea, setting the cup down reluctantly.

The two headed toward the garden, with their close aides trailing behind.

“I heard you’ve suffered a series of setbacks recently?” the matriarch asked first.

Shen Sheng was taken aback, feeling both humiliated and hopeful. “Yes, Grandma. It might be because I fought with Ayan the other day. He probably holds a grudge against me because of that…”

Since the matriarch knew, she surely wouldn’t sit idly by.

Previously, Shen Sheng’s overseas development had been effortless, coupled with some capability, so he hadn’t suffered much.

But he still felt that Shen Yan was living better than him!

After finishing his daily tasks, he would inquire about Shen Yan’s every move back home.

When Shen Sheng heard that Shen Yan had brought in several hundred million in projects for the Shen Corporation again, he nearly lost his mind!

How could Shen Yan achieve that?

Shen Sheng believed all of Shen Yan’s success came from luck and the position he held.

He didn’t think he was inferior.

So when the matriarch suggested he give it a try, he accepted without hesitation!

Shen Sheng believed that if Shen Yan could do it, so could he.

However, reality turned out differently.

Only when he took the position did Shen Sheng realize how many troubles came with it. His head ached, but in front of outsiders, he had to maintain an unruffled demeanor.

At first, with the matriarch’s help, everything went smoothly. But whenever someone threw a wrench in the works, he would immediately crumble!

Even now, when the opposition was restrained, Shen Sheng never doubted his own ability. He believed it was just bad luck!

“You fought with Shen Yan?”

Supported by Shen Sheng, the matriarch sat down in a chair. “Did he hit you because of that Feng Yuqi kid?”

“Probably…”

“Bastard!” The matriarch’s expression darkened as she scolded. “Feng Yuqi grew up with you all. What kind of person beats up someone like that?”

“How can you be so reckless? Do you realize how long this matter stayed on the hot search list? How much shame has it brought to the Shen family?”
