Hearing the voice, this charming woman looked at Henric, a surprised look on her face.
"Beauty, we must be fated to meet here. Let's get to know each other," Henric said again. The special business card in his hand gleamed golden. It was very eye-catching.
However, she did not receive it. Instead, she smiled faintly and politely rejected him. "Sorry, I don't feel well. I require rest."
As she spoke, she leaned into the back of her chair and closed her eyes.
It was an obvious rejection, but Henric did not give up. He continued to stay next to her and said in solicitous concern, "Beauty, what's wrong with you? I happen to be a doctor. I can help you."
As soon as he said that, she looked at him again.
The other two middle-aged wealthy businessmen smiled. They thought to themselves that this boy was too thick-skinned. The beauty just said that she was uncomfortable, and he promptly replied that he was a doctor. If the beauty said that she was hungry, this boy would probably say that he was a chef.
Just as they were secretly laughing at him, Henric took out a set of silver needles and said, "Beauty, I am not lying to you. I am indeed a doctor, I specialize in traditional Chinese medicine."
"Traditional Chinese medicine!" The beautiful woman seemed to be a little interested.
Henric suddenly became invigorated. He proudly introduced himself. "Beauty, my surname is Cao, and I am from South Bay City. All my elders are traditional medicine practitioners, and my grandfather is the famous National Chinese Medical Doctor of South Bay City. He is a famous figure in the country!"
"Is he really that good?" She asked in surprise.
The two wealthy businessmen frowned even more and kept grumbling to themselves.
"This brat, how dare he brag like that! He even brought the National Chinese Medical Doctor into it."
"D*mn it, he's pestering and boasting all the while. What if he really wins over that beautiful woman?"
As they grumbled, the two wealthy merchants could not sit still any longer. They got up and prepared to battle it out for the beauty's heart.
Butthen, Henric said, "My grandfather's name is Lamont Cao. You may not be familiar with his name, but he has a nickname that you should have heard before. The 'Acupuncture King' refers to my grandfather. I, on the other hand, have inherited my grandfather's skills. I am known as the Acupuncture Prince."
After saying that, Henric looked at the woman boastfully.
But she had a blank look on her face. She had never heard of that name before.
However, the old couple who had closed their eyes to rest, opened their eyes and asked in surprise, "The Acupuncture King, Old Master Cao? He was a truly famous figure! Young man, are you really the descendant of the Acupuncture King?"
Henric took out a jade pendant and replied, "Of course, this is the heirloom of our family. My father passed it to me. This means that I am the representative of the Acupuncture King from the Cao family."
The old couple's eyes lit up when they saw Henric's jade pendant. They were surprised. "It's really the Cao family's jade pendant. You're really his descendant!"
"Of course!" Henric had a look of pride on his face.
The old couple immediately came over excitedly. With a hint of pleading, they said, "Acupuncture Prince, Mr. Cao, we have a stuffy feeling in our chests. Can you take a look at it?"
