Chapter 26 is a tough nut to crack.



"I'll teach you again, but you must learn carefully."

As Ji Minxiu spoke, he adjusted the position of Yun Zhourong's fingers.

The man's fingers were long and slender, with distinct bones, and their touch carried a faint dampness and warmth, causing Yun Zhourong's heart to beat faster involuntarily.

Feeling her mind going blank again, she quickly shook her head vigorously and swallowed hard to keep herself awake.

But deep down, I couldn't help thinking, "The Snow Demon Lord said he wasn't a demon, but he's clearly so good at bewitching people!"

Yun Zhourong has a strong learning ability. After being taught for a while, she was able to write the characters smoothly. However, because she was not familiar with them, she wrote them slowly and they didn't look very good.

The crooked handwriting made her blush with shame. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Ji Minxiu, and stammered softly, "I'm sorry for the poor handwriting."

Looking at her fluffy head, Ji Minxiu found it rather cute.

He subconsciously reached out and touched it, saying gently, "It's okay, beginners are all like this. You've already written very well."

Yun Zhourong felt a sense of relief, raised her head, and asked with bright eyes, "Really?"

Ji Minxiu was momentarily stunned, then nodded, "Yes, you're very smart. With more practice, you'll definitely be able to write it well soon."

"Yes, yes, I will try my best!"

Yun Zhourong nodded vigorously, then quickly added, "By the way, Lady Snow Demon, I would like to learn CPR. Would you be willing to teach me?"

“No problem, but this requires some tools. I’ll prepare them tomorrow and then teach you,” Ji Minxiu said.

"OK."

Yun Zhourong was surprised and delighted that Ji Minxiu agreed so quickly.

"Next, I'm going to conduct a test."

Ji Minxiu explained, "I've discovered that the length of time I can stay still seems to be related to physical contact, so I need to borrow your hand."

“Sure,” Yun Zhourong agreed without hesitation.

After that, Ji Minxiu and Yun Zhourong sat on the sofa and waited. Before long, they felt the jade pendant start to get hot.

Yun Zhourong's eyes widened slightly. "It's hot! Lady Snow Demon's amulet is starting to get hot!"

"Yes, I apologize for the intrusion."

Ji Minxiu nodded and then grasped Yun Zhourong's wrist.

Sure enough, the safety buckle began to cool down rapidly the next moment.

Yun Zhourong also noticed this and exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Snow Demon, your prediction was correct! Physical contact can extend the time. You are truly amazing!"

Feeling a little embarrassed by the sudden praise, Ji Minxiu coughed lightly, withdrew his hand, and instead placed it on her shoulder. "Let me try again to see if it still works through the clothes."

"Okay." Yun Zhourong nodded.

This time, the safety buckle quickly became hot again, and before Yun Zhourong could speak, Ji Minxiu disappeared.

Back in his familiar study, Ji Minxiu realized that the extended time required skin contact to be effective.

After recording the results, he made a phone call and summoned his family doctor.

"Mr. Ji, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Dr. Zhou quickly arrived.

"Take a look at this. Do you know what illness it is?" Ji Minxiu handed over the medical history of Old Madam Yun that he had brought back.

After carefully examining the case, Dr. Zhou said, "Chest pain, which is what we now call coronary heart disease, is only in its early stages according to this description. It should be relatively easy to control the condition."

"In the initial stages, is there a possibility of cardiac arrest?" Ji Minxiu asked.

"Generally, it won't happen, but there are exceptions."

Dr. Zhou explained in detail, "For example, if the weather is too cold, a person is too tired, or is stimulated by strong emotional fluctuations, it may aggravate the condition, induce angina or myocardial infarction, and lead to cardiac arrest."

Ji Minxiu thought that the weather in Dasheng Dynasty was so cold these days, and he had to travel every day. In addition, seeing the thief agitated and being pushed down, there were indeed enough reasons for this.

He then said, "Then please prescribe some medicine to control the condition."

"OK."

Dr. Zhou nodded and began writing the prescription, adding, "Coronary heart disease is also related to daily lifestyle habits. Elderly people are prone to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, so these must be taken into account."

"Okay, I'll remind them."

After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, clutched his stomach, and sat down on the sofa.

"Mr. Ji, is your stomach hurting again?" Dr. Zhou asked anxiously as soon as he saw him.

"Yes, after the stomach stones were removed, the pain subsided for a while, but it's been coming back occasionally recently," Ji Minxiu said.

"Have you gone for a follow-up check-up recently?" Dr. Zhou asked.

Ji Minxiu shook his head, "I've been quite busy lately and haven't been able to go, but it's only been three months, so it shouldn't have any impact."

"It's hard to say. You'd better find time to go for a follow-up examination as soon as possible. Some cases are prone to recurrence and may also have complications," Dr. Zhou advised.

Ji Minxiu rubbed his temples in annoyance, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After seeing Dr. Zhou off, Ji Minxiu called over Assistant Lin and said, "Go get the medicine according to this prescription. Also, contact General Manager Chen of the Yangqu project and tell him that I have recently acquired an antique and would like him to help me appraise it."

This year, Shanghai's Shangyang District launched major projects covering multiple fields, with a total investment exceeding 30 billion yuan.

The Ji family also wanted to participate, but the competition was fierce, and they have not yet been able to secure the cooperation.

The person in charge, Chen Jun, is an upright and rigid man, a tough nut to crack, whose only hobby is collecting antiques.

It's not that no one has tried this path, but most of them have failed. Chen Jun's vision was too high.

However, with this lotus bowl, Ji Minxiu was quite confident.

In a few days, it will be the Ji family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Only those who are qualified to attend can be considered to have truly gained the Ji family's approval.

Therefore, he must secure a successful deal with this project!

As for whether General Manager Chen is willing to meet him?

Previously, the other party might not have believed in his abilities, but with that charity auction as a stepping stone, President Chen certainly wouldn't be able to refuse this invitation.

The little girl is truly his lucky star!

Meanwhile, Yun Zhourong sat down on the ground, completely dazed. It took her a while to stand up, looking somewhat resentful.

Next time you sit on Lord Snow Demon's strange soft couch, be careful he doesn't suddenly disappear!

However, when he saw the watch, he couldn't help but laugh again.

This watch is so beautiful!

No one had ever given her such a beautiful gift before.

Although her second uncle and aunt doted on her, cooking longevity noodles for her and sending her clothes and shoes, they didn't provide her with anything that would appeal to her tastes.

She looked at the watch for a while longer, reluctant to put it down, before finally taking it off and putting it back in the brocade box, which she then placed in her down jacket pocket.

That watch looks very expensive and is not suitable for her to wear now; it's better for her to be more understated.

After that, she quickly grabbed her things and rushed back.

Although there were many things, they weren't very heavy, so she carried them back on her back and ran.

"Grandmother, Father, Mother, Xiao Yuan, the things that Lady Snow Demon sent have arrived."
