49 One Person, One Family, One Formula (1/2)

The reason why Tian Tuyuan came to visit Wang Yao was very simple—networking. He thought that Wang Yao was a very capable young man and it was worth making friends with him. Businessmen were good at dealing with people for their own interest and Tian Tuyuan was a very good businessman.

Wang Yao shook his head while looking at the Qimen black tea on the table. He guessed that Tian Tuyuan just wanted to be friendly with him for his own interest. He was not against people like Tian Tuyuan, after all, Wang Yao was just a young man with special abilities, not a hermit.

Tian Tuyuan called He Qisheng after he left the village. They decided where and when to meet—a cafe in Lianshan. He Qisheng and Tian Tuyuan sat in a private room of the cafe and ordered a pot of tea.

”I didn't expect to bump into you here,” said Tian Tuyuan with a smile.

”Yeah, what was the last time we met? A few months ago?” said He Qisheng after he took a sip of the tea.

They had known each other for a long time, and kept in contact.

”About 6 months,” said Tian Tuyuan after thinking for a short while.

”How are you? Still busy?” asked He Qisheng.

”Not too bad. I hired more people. We are no longer that busy,” said Tian Tuyuan.

”How is your wife?” asked He Qisheng.

He knew about Xu Jiahui's illness and tried to treat her. But her illness was very tricky and he was not well prepared. He tried his best but he didn't make much of a difference.

”I believe she is cured,” said Tian Tuyuan.

”Really!?” said He Qisheng.

He was very surprised to hear that. He had tried to treat Xu Jiahui and he knew exactly how weird her illness was. It was not as overwhelming as a flood, which could make her extremely sick in a short period of time. Her illness developed gradually and slowly and tortured her in a worse way. It was like cutting meat with a blunt knife. No definitive plan could be made to cure her illness. He Qisheng knew about Tian Tuyuan's network and capability. Tian Tuyuan must have gone to almost every big hospital and visited numerous specialists all who couldn't cure Xu Jiahui. All in all, He Qisheng was so surprised to hear that Xu Jiahui had been cured.

”That's wonderful! Who cured your wife?” asked He Qisheng.

”I'm sorry,” replied Tian Tuyuan with a smile, ”I've promised him not to tell anyone.”

”Oh, that's fine,” said He Qisheng. Wait! I think I probably know who he is!

Suddenly He Qisheng stopped pouring tea from the teapot, as if he thought of something important. He Qisheng was too absent-minded to notice that Tian Tuyuan's cup was full.

”My cup is full,” reminded Tian Tuyuan.

”Oh, sorry,” said He Qisheng.

”What are you thinking about?” asked Tian Tuyuan.

”I'm thinking of a person, a very interesting person,” said He Qisheng when he placed the pot back on the table.

”Really? By the way, I thought you were in Qi Province. How come you are here today?” asked Tian Tuyuan.

”I'm here to ask someone for help,” said He Qisheng.

”Ask someone for help? I didn't expect this from you. Did you go to see Wang Yao?” Tian Tuyuan suddenly guessed.

”Yes. Seems you know him well,” said He Qisheng. The two of them finally started to talk about Wang Yao.

”Not really. I've only seen him a few times,” said Tian Tuyuan.

”Was it him who cured your wife?” asked He Qisheng directly.

”Yes, did you also come to see him?” Tian Tuyuan also stopped hiding.

”Haha, yes,” said He Qisheng.

The two of them looked at each other and started to laugh. All the guard and misunderstanding had gone away.

”How did he cure your wife?” asked He Qisheng.
