NOVPUBChen Nan furrowed his brows, clearly not expecting this woman to lose her temper.
With a cold voice, Wu Mei said, "The fragrance of lilies contains substances that stimulate the central nervous system, something anyone who likes flowers would know; how could I not be aware of it?"
"However, there are only two lilies in the vase, and in such a spacious environment, how much impact could they have, even if there is one?"
Chen Nan smiled, "Does Secretary Wu know that every type of flower has different healing properties?"
"The effect of two lilies is indeed minimal, but what kind of chemical reaction will occur when combined with white roses, jasmine flowers, and devil’s ivy?"
A hint of suspicion flickered in Wu Mei’s eyes; she knew that lilies could stimulate the central nervous system, but since Secretary Dai liked lilies, she could only follow his preferences and had prepared two lilies.
She had never considered what kind of chemical reaction would occur when various flowers were gathered together.
Chen Nan’s voice rose slowly, "Arranging flowers is much like alchemy; only by melding the right ingredients together can one produce unexpected effects."
"On the other hand, if the medicinal properties conflict, even if the pill is successfully concocted, it may contain some toxicity."
Wu Mei understood, and curiosity sparked in those seductive peach blossom eyes, "Do you also know how to concoct medicine?" She then took the two lilies out of the vase and threw them into the trash can.
Watching the woman’s captivating eyes, Chen Nan’s heartbeat quickened, but he controlled his emotions, his face humble, "Medical practice and alchemy are intertwined; although I don’t specialize in the art of alchemy, I do know a bit."
Wu Mei nodded thoughtfully, clicked her heels, took an elegant seat on the sofa, and invited Chen Nan to sit down as well.
"Since you know about medical practice, why not take this opportunity to check my health?" Wu Mei sat with an air of superiority and extended her right hand onto the sofa’s armrest.
Chen Nan smiled, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes inspection, listening, and inquiry. I do not need to take your pulse to diagnose."
A mysterious smile spread across Wu Mei’s beautiful face; she knew about the inspection, listening, inquiry, and palpation of traditional Chinese medicine, but even some of the well-known old doctors wouldn’t dare to make such an arrogant statement.
She watched Chen Nan with a half-smile, "Then in your opinion, is my health in good condition?"
Chen Nan immediately looked at Wu Mei’s cold yet alluring face.
For some reason.
When she saw Chen Nan’s profound gaze.
Wu Mei’s heartbeat hastened, and a strong sense of unease rose within her.
It seemed as if the man’s eyes held a magical power.
In front of him, she felt an absurd sense of being completely exposed.
Besides this.
His eyes seemed to even peer into all the secrets deep within her heart.
At that moment, Chen Nan’s voice rang out, "Secretary Wu’s body is healthy, although there is a bit of deficiency in qi and blood, and imbalance between yin and yang, but it’s nothing serious."
Wu Mei was startled; indeed, she had a deficiency of qi and blood and an imbalance between yin and yang, but she hadn’t expected Chen Nan to actually see it.
This made her look at Chen Nan with new respect.
Chen Nan: "However..."
Wu Mei asked, "However, what?"
Chen Nan: "Although Secretary Wu’s body is healthy, your psychological state is not. You are deeply unsatisfied, extremely empty inside, leading to the imbalance of yin and yang."
"If I’m not mistaken, you also suffer from insomnia and even mild depression."
As these words were spoken.
Wu Mei’s pupils shook, revealing a look of shock on her face.
It was unbelievable to her that Chen Nan could discern her physical condition.
After all, the guy looked to be just in his early twenties.
But she never dreamed that this guy would also see the emptiness in her heart.
He even stated that she suffered from mild depression.
Despite that, she coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense. When have I ever been dissatisfied and felt emptiness in my heart?"
Chen Nan smiled and didn’t say much else. He simply spoke the truth about Wu Mei’s physical and mental state. Whether she accepted it or not was another matter.
"Cough, cough!"
Just then.
A man’s coughing sound came from the second floor.
Wu Mei’s face subtly changed, seemingly not expecting Secretary Dai to wake up so soon.
She coldly looked at Chen Nan with a superior air, "Remember, keep what you said today to yourself!"
Chen Nan smiled, "I didn’t say anything."
"Xiao Wu, who are you talking to?"
A slightly feeble voice came from the second floor, followed by a man in his fifties with gray hair and sleepy eyes walking down.
Though his eyes were blurry as if lacking energy,
Chen Nan felt a sense of authority unique to those in high positions emanating from him.
This sense of authority was much stronger than Lu Yuanyang’s.
Upon reflection, it made sense.
Though Lu Yuanyang was the newly appointed mayor of Jizhou, in terms of influence and position, he was far less than the Municipal Party Secretary Dai Shouyi.
Of course, the evils he had done were also numerous.
Because Chen Nan knew well that the case of Nie Xiaoyu’s tampered grades definitely involved this man!
Wu Mei quickly stood up and respectfully said, "Secretary Dai, just now Li Zhenqiang came by to introduce a well-known doctor to you."
"That fellow is quite thoughtful," Dai Shouyi said indifferently and then scrutinized Chen Nan, who was dressed in a Taoist robe with a hairpin, without any hint of disdain.
Not only that, his eyes softened a great deal, as if he were looking at a younger relative of his own.
He knew that Li Zhenqiang always wanted to curry favor with him, and if this person did not have genuine knowledge and skills, he would definitely not bring him before himself.
Of course, he also knew that there were some extraordinary people in the world who had extraordinary abilities.
"Secretary Dai, I tested Master Chen’s medical expertise just now. His methods are indeed miraculous; he can discern a patient’s condition through their complexion without even taking their pulse," Wu Mei said respectfully to Dai Shouyi, although she had a high and mighty attitude in front of Chen Nan.
"Is that so?" Dai Shouyi showed some genuine interest and smiled at Chen Nan, "Then I would like to trouble Chen young friend to have a look at my condition."
"Yes!" Chen Nan respectfully agreed and then carefully observed Dai Shouyi’s facial features before saying, "If I’m not mistaken, Secretary Dai’s heart isn’t very good, and you’ve probably had coronary artery bypass surgery."
"Besides that, you also suffer from severe neurotic insomnia."
"And your kidneys aren’t doing too well either."
Hearing this, Dai Shouyi’s sleepy eyes suddenly shone with incredulity, and a tidal wave of shock surged in his heart.
He was considered a man who had been through storms.
But he hadn’t expected that this young man’s medical skills would be so extraordinary.
He had only glanced at him and then discerned all of his ailments.
Even knowing that he had undergone heart bypass surgery.
How could this not shock someone?
