Chapter 2458: Chapter 2255: I Have What They Don’t

"Although I don’t have as much money as they do, I have something they don’t." Song Xiaodong replied.

"Show off, huh? So when are you coming back tonight?" Li Sijie asked.

"I don’t need until tonight, I’ll come back once the deal is done." Song Xiaodong answered.

"Then come back earlier, bring me home, and let’s pick up our son." Li Sijie said.

"Okay."

Song Xiaodong and Zhou Yuanzhi drove together to the foot of Yunzhong Temple.

Even though it’s already deep autumn, around ten in the morning, the sun is warm, the air is fresh, and although it’s barren at the foot of the mountain, the view is expansive, offering a good scenic overlook.

"Boss Niu and his group haven’t arrived yet; it seems he’s gone to meet the provincial leaders." Zhou Yuanzhi, along with Zhang Lijiao, approached after parking and spoke to the distant-gazing Song Xiaodong.

"Let’s take a break at the foot of the mountain, it’s tiring to sit in the car, my legs are numb." Song Xiaodong turned back to Zhou Yuanzhi and Zhang Lijiao.

"Alright." Zhou Yuanzhi and Zhang Lijiao readily agreed.

After all, Zhou Yuanzhi and Zhang Lijiao were patients cured by Song Xiaodong, and from yesterday’s events, they realized Song Xiaodong was not just about money; their respect, even fear, for him grew. Zhou Yuanzhi feels a bit awkward speaking to Song Xiaodong, but fortunately, Song Xiaodong’s attitude remained unchanged, allowing Zhou Yuanzhi to gradually adapt.

Song Xiaodong turned and saw Zhou Yuanzhi and Zhang Lijiao had come here in a single car, knowing they were together the previous night, deliberately teased Zhou Yuanzhi: "Director Zhou, did you come with Miss Zhang?"

Miss Zhang blushed, Zhou Yuanzhi laughed so hard his eyes almost disappeared, with three crow’s feet at the corners, and said to Song Xiaodong: "Mr. Song, isn’t it obvious? You asked it on purpose."

"Hahaha."

"Mr. Song, thank you so much, the needle you placed on my waist yesterday, I haven’t had a headache all day and woke up without any pain! Mr. Song, you are amazing!" Zhang Lijiao said with a smile to Song Xiaodong.

"Your problem is indeed difficult to treat, acupuncture only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, other solutions are needed." Song Xiaodong told Zhang Lijiao.

"Mr. Song, please think of a solution for me!" Originally holding Zhou Yuanzhi’s arm, Zhang Lijiao leaped towards Song Xiaodong upon hearing his words, grabbing his arm, and said in a playful tone.

"Well, it’s actually a bit troublesome because it requires acupuncture and medication. The medication is easy to solve; I’ll write you a prescription, and you can get the herbs from a Chinese pharmacy. However, acupuncture is complicated as my technique is special, and only my disciple and I can perform it. If Miss Zhang plans to completely cure her illness, she’ll need to stay in Minghe for a while." Song Xiaodong replied helplessly to the playful Zhang Lijiao.

"What do I do then? I have to shoot films, always flying around, how can I stay long in Minghe?" Zhang Lijiao said, frowning.

"Then you can only come regularly for appointments; I’ll have my disciple perform acupuncture on you." Song Xiaodong said.

"Really? That’s great!"

"Yes, we’ll arrange it when we get back."

"Really, thank you, Mr. Song!"

While Song Xiaodong, Zhou Yuanzhi, and Zhang Lijiao were chatting, two more cars worth millions drove up and parked together, with two formally dressed bosses with sunglasses and potbellies getting out.

They were Wang Shangjin and Ma Jiayi, associates of Boss Niu from yesterday.

"Director Zhou! Mr. Song! Miss Zhang!" Ma Jiayi greeted the trio enthusiastically as he walked over quickly.

Wang Shangjin followed behind but didn’t greet Song Xiaodong.

"Boss Ma, you’re early!" Song Xiaodong greeted Ma Jiayi.

"Yes, Minghe’s transportation is quite good; the morning rush wasn’t as bad as I imagined." Ma Jiayi said.

"That’s because it’s relatively remote here." Song Xiaodong replied.

"Indeed, Yunzhong Temple being away from the bustling city is quiet and relaxing, a perfect place for cultivation and rest. Boss Niu has a keen eye!" Ma Jiayi didn’t miss the chance to flatter Boss Niu.

"Yes." Song Xiaodong nodded.

"Boss Niu hasn’t arrived yet?" Wang Shangjin asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Yes, Boss Niu went to meet provincial leaders." Zhou Yuanzhi answered.

"Mr. Song, why haven’t you guys gone up?" Ma Jiayi asked Song Xiaodong, Zhou Yuanzhi, and Zhang Lijiao.

"Mr. Song thinks the view down here is good, was tired from the drive, and wants to rest a bit." Zhou Yuanzhi replied.

"Oh, just right, I’ll rest down here too; the mountain path is steep, and climbing to the top leaves me breathless." Ma Jiayi also said.

"Boss Ma, Mr. Song, you rest here, I’ll head up first." Wang Shangjin said to Ma Jiayi and Song Xiaodong.

Wang Shangjin still doesn’t have a favorable view of Song Xiaodong.

But Ma Jiayi has already switched sides; he nodded to Wang Shangjin and turned to Song Xiaodong.

"Hmph." Wang Shangjin snorted coldly, turned to go up the mountain alone, but heard a car honking behind him.

Everyone turned around to see, finding it was two more cars—also luxury cars, the kind that would cost millions—and recognized them from the vehicle models.

Two car doors opened, with two middle-aged men stepping out, one of average build with a face full of wrinkles, the other portly, walking towards Wang Shangjin.
