Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 407: Chapter 406, Use Your Driver

Xu Wendong also felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He had only helped Bai Lu with a massage, not expecting she would have such a physiological reaction.

Was this woman really so easily moved?

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Wendong cleared his throat and said, ”Uh, why don’t you try walking a bit?”

”Okay.”

Bai Lu pretended to be calm as she put on her shoes and then tried taking a few steps on the ground. By now, she could already feel her right foot, and it felt perfectly normal.

”I didn’t expect your medical skills to be so amazing. It’s truly a great loss that you’ve switched from medicine to politics,” Bai Lu exclaimed.

Xu Wendong chuckled and said, ”A certain philosopher once said that studying medicine cannot save the country.”

Bai Lu’s eyes brightened.

She didn’t know Xu Wendong’s background or origins.

But now she realized he had great ambitions.

Much like her entry into politics, both wanted to do something real for the people, not to be famous in history, but at least to live this life without regrets.

Bai Lu turned and got into the car, saying, ”Drive to the viewing platform!”

Xu Wendong immediately drove the Passat to the viewing platform, and by this time, Ye Qingxin had already been waiting for a while.

She wore a red trench coat, a color rarely managed by others, yet on her, it appeared stunningly beautiful.

Underneath, she wore a deep blue cheongsam dress, with her long hair tied up, adorned with a jade hairpin, giving her a unique bewitching yet elegant aura.

This woman knew how to enjoy herself, with a set of camping chairs and a table in front of her, snacks laid out, and a stove before her, brewing tea.

Beside her was a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom, exuding a powerful presence.

”Hello, Ms. Ye, I’m Bai Lu, Deputy Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Bai Lu said somewhat nervously.

Firstly, the other party was an investor intending to build a large-scale shipping terminal in Lianyun County.

Secondly, this woman’s presence was incredibly strong.

”Please take a seat, Chief Bai,” Ye Qingxin said mildly, then picked up the kettle to pour Bai Lu a cup of tea. As for Xu Wendong...

She didn’t even glance his way.

After all, she was the investor now, and Xu Wendong was just a mere driver.

Ye Qingxin calmly asked, ”Chief Bai, you must be aware of my intentions. I’m planning to build a large terminal here. What incentives does your county offer?”

Bai Lu said, ”Ms. Ye, please feel free to put forward any conditions. Even though my authority is limited, I can strive on your behalf.”

Although she was the Deputy Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, her power was limited, and the final decision had to be made by a higher-up.

Ye Qingxin said, ”My request is simple, a fifty-year free usage of North Mountain Peninsula, and during the initial construction phase, I need everything to go smoothly without any hindrance.”

”This...” Bai Lu was somewhat troubled. If the request had been financial assistance, she would have promptly agreed, as lending money still involved collecting interest.

But she hadn’t expected the other party to demand fifty years of free usage of North Mountain Peninsula.

Honestly, while the government wanted to attract business, their income came from land sales and addressing local employment.

Now, she was asking for fifty years of land use for free.

This was practically asking to freeload on Lianyun County’s land.

Although the condition was stringent, Bai Lu still said, ”Ms. Ye, I will definitely report your condition to the higher-ups and strive to give you a satisfactory response.”

Ye Qingxin smiled slightly, ”I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation, Chief Bai, please drink your tea!”

Bai Lu replied, ”Please!”

Ye Qingxin took a sip of the steaming tea, letting the aroma fill her mouth, then looked at the vast blue ocean and the endless coastline with a murmur, ”I’ve heard the seafood this season is the most succulent. I wonder if we can find any by the shore.”

Bai Lu smiled and said, ”If Ms. Ye wants to eat seafood, I could take you to a nice place in the city. It might not seem upscale, but the taste is excellent.”

Ye Qingxin shook her head slightly, ”I don’t like eating seafood.”

”But I enjoy seashore scavenging.”

Saying this, she looked at Xu Wendong behind Bai Lu and said, ”Chief Bai, do you mind if I use your driver?”

Bai Lu replied, ”Serving Ms. Ye is his honor.”

Ye Qingxin nodded and gracefully got up, looked at Xu Wendong, and said, ”I have a bucket in my car, come scavenging with me!” She then headed down the stairs toward the sea.

Bai Lu quickly said, ”Ms. Ye, let me accompany you!”

Ye Qingxin replied, ”No need, rather than scavenging, I hope Chief Bai can quickly convey my intentions to the leading officials of Lianyun County and expedite our cooperation.”

”I’ll leave this to you.” Bai Lu gave Xu Wendong a look and then drove away.

After Bai Lu left, Xu Wendong, hands in his pockets, followed relaxedly and casually as he came to the seaside with Ye Qingxin, remarking, ”Scavenging in such cold weather, I really wonder if your head was kicked by a mule!”

”Yeah, it was kicked by you!” Ye Qingxin, too, dropped her previous aloofness, a faintly intriguing smile appearing on her face.

”No more joking, let’s talk business.”

Her expression suddenly turned much more serious, ”The martial world is in chaos, really chaotic, and the news of Nie Yunchuan and his disciple being killed has spread throughout the martial world.”

”Ye Gucheng is furious, determined to find the culprit, and is pressing the Su Residence for information on all the guests that day.”

”I’m worried that the Su Residence will leak our identities.”

She regretted it a bit. Back at the Su Residence, she shouldn’t have attacked Lu Qing, shouldn’t have displayed her grandmaster skills.

Xu Wendong chuckled, ”The Su Residence probably won’t leak our information to Ye Gucheng.”

Ye Qingxin, full of worry, said, ”Even if the Su Residence doesn’t reveal our information, Ye Gucheng will learn about our presence from others.”

”After all, people who could kill Nie Yunchuan are few, and I am highly suspicious.”

Though she wanted to tear Ye Gucheng into pieces and kill him to avenge her mother, she knew her own strength.

If she were to meet Ye Gucheng now, she’d surely be defeated in one blow.

Just then.

Xu Wendong’s phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number. Upon answering, Su Xiaodie’s voice from the Su Residence came through, ”Mister Xu, we have prepared the herbs you need. Could you give me an address, and I’ll deliver them to you personally?”

”Alright, come to Lianyun directly!” After a brief chat, Xu Wendong hung up and looked at Ye Qingxin, ”The Su Residence has prepared the herbs I need. Once they’re delivered, I can refine the elixirs to help you break through the barrier and enter the Great Grandmaster realm!”

Ye Qingxin beamed with joy, was she finally going to become a Great Grandmaster?

Though excited, she felt more nervous and expectant.

Because Xu Wendong had said, when she reached the Great Grandmaster level, it would be time for the two of them to unite!
