Power and Wealth Chapter 1306: New Power -SLOW

Chapter 1306: New Power – SLOW

Next day.

Morning, after 8 am.

Its a bright and windy day.

Dong Xuebing got out of bed in his old apartment. He yawned and took out a cigarette. He sat on his bed and smoked. He was alone as Sister Xu had left last night. Although Xu Yan said they had forty minutes, their session lasted more than one and a half hours. He hoped he did not delay her matters. He was exhausted and fell asleep while hugging her. He does not know what time she left.

Eh?

Theres something on the table.

Dong Xuebing saw a note under the ashtray while flicking the cigarette ash. He read it.

I am leaving. Have a good rest.

Xu Yan.

Dong Xuebing smiled and kept the note.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebings phone rang.

Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and picked up his phone. It was from Yao Cui.

Hello. Dong Xuebing answered.

Xuebing, its me. Yao Cui.

Haha I know.

I am at our workplace. The leaders asked me to check with you on your recovery. How are you?

The doctor says I will be fine after some rest. What is it? Did something happen at work?

Not really. Its about the funds from the Central government. The higher-ups felt keeping the money in our Finance Department was not a good idea. Many department heads and townships are eyeing the money. There will be someone coming to ask for funds every day. The fund is insufficient for every department, and the County had several meetings to discuss how to distribute the funds. Secretary Meng cannot decide. The Party Committee wanted to decide during the next meeting next month. You are in charge of the Finance Department and have received money from the Central Government. Mayor Jiang called me yesterday, and I think she hopes you can attend next months Party Committee meeting. But your body

Dong Xuebing blinked. Mayor Jiang wants me to return?

I dont know. But I heard it from Mayor Jiangs secretary.

All right. I know. The meeting is more than ten days away. I will attend the meeting.

Your injuries need at least three to four months to recover. Dont force yourself. What if you worsen your injuries?

Its fine. I shall see about it. This is about the fund, and I must attend the meeting.

Ok. Take care of yourself.

Dont worry about me. I recover fast.

Dong Xuebing noted it on his phone. He got the money and wants to know how the County will use it. Mayor Jiang should have had some plans but did not call him because of what happened. Thats why she got her secretary to contact Yao Cui to pass the message. She needs Dong Xuebings support at the meeting as they were from the same camp.Updated from n0v𝒆lbIn.(c)o/m

There are still over ten days to the meeting.

Dong Xuebing was in no hurry to return.

Dong Xuebing stretched and washed up. He prepared breakfast and ate it. He was feeling good, but his wounds were still hurting.

Never mind.

I will recover from my injuries now.

Dong Xuebing was not returning to the hospital and did not need to worry about the doctors finding out he had recovered. He can recover and pretend in front of others.

REVERSE!

Dong Xuebing recovered all his injuries.

Of course, he did not heal those minor wounds. He focused on the fractures in his ribs, arms, and legs. These were painful, and the remaining wounds are for others to see. He got to keep some injuries to show others. He cannot be seen without wounds when he removes his clothes.

A few minutes later.

Dong Xuebing moved his arms and legs. All right. He could not feel any pain, and his fractures had healed.

Ahh

It feels so good.

Dong Xuebing finally can relax after living with his injuries for a few days. He took the clothes made by Xu Yan to the bathroom and put them on. He checked himself in the mirror and nodded. He did not wear his new clothes at home and changed out of it. He does not want to dirty them.

What should I do today?

Its been a while since I came back. I should walk around.

Dong Xuebing went to a shopping mall and a library. He did not have time to recharge since he started working. He finally got time to rest, and no one was with him. He could read some books.

Thick Black Theory

The Art of Leadership

Dong Xuebing tried reading these books, but these books did not interest him.

He walked to the medical books section.

Dong Xuebing picked several books about Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture points and started reading. He claimed he knew Traditional Chinese Medicine and had treated many people. He feared his lie would be exposed and needed to learn the basics.

Chinese medicine

Human acupuncture points

Types of surgeries

Traditional Chinese massage

Dong Xuebing does not care whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine. He bought over a dozen books and DVDs. He started reading at home and found these books more attractive than those on leadership. Maybe it is because he does not want to think about work when resting.

One book

Two books

Three books

Dong Xuebing read fast. He only wanted to understand the basics and did not need to memorize them. He finished three books late at night. He likes to read Western medicine books, too. Western medicine books are more organized, and they have more machines. Their surgeries have standard procedures, unlike Chinese medicine. Just the acupuncture points are enough to give him a headache. The prescription is complex, too. The medicine for the same illness differs depending on the patients body condition. The medicines for men, women, skinny, fat, etc., are different. He does not have time to research about these. No wonder most Chinese Doctors are old doctors. One needs decades to learn this trade. Western medicine is easier to understand.

Dong Xuebing knew he could not learn Chinese medicine and started reading Western medicine books after memorizing the acupuncture points.

3 am.

Dong Xuebing looked at the time. He was tired but not sleepy. After the session with Sister Xu yesterday, he was satisfied, had a good sleep, and recovered from his injuries.

Lets read a while more and sleep at 4 a.m.

Dong Xuebing started reading the fourth book. It is a translated book. Although the book was translated into Mandarin, many terms and words were in English. He lit a cigarette and started reading the book on the sofa.

The usage of hemostatic forceps are

Dong Xuebing read softly and read out the English words. When he saw the word SLOW, he suddenly thought about his power. He blinked and read it. SLOW!

The next moment, Dong Xuebing felt something in his mind.

Dong Xuebing paused for a second. This was how he felt when he used his powers. What happened? Did I give a command?

Dong Xuebing called out his MENU to check.

Remaining time.

Two minutes thirty-five seconds

Two minutes thirty-four seconds

Two minutes thirty-three seconds

His time was decreasing.

Dong Xuebing dropped his cigarette. What command did I say?

SLOW?

Its SLOW!

Dong Xuebing felt he dropped his cigarette, and his natural reflex was to catch it. To his surprise, his cigarette was floating in the air. It was dropping very slowly. It looked like a feather falling to the ground and landed a few seconds later.

SLOW? What is SLOW?

Does it mean slowing down?

Dong Xuebing knew he found a new command. He looked at the curtains moving by the breeze. It was moving very slowly, as if it was in slow motion. He was overjoyed.

SLOW!

This means time has slowed down!

Dong Xuebing was glad he read these medical books.
