Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 506 - 505: A Glimmer of Enlightenment
"What are you doing standing here?" Ge Dongxu frowned and asked.
He naturally did not like the fact that while he was inside having a gathering with friends, an irrelevant person like Chen Jiaxiang was standing outside.
"Mr. Ge, my son caused great offense last night, and I am here to offer a formal apology on his behalf. If Mr. Ge would be so kind as to let this go, my Chen Family is willing to offer a hundred million yuan as a gesture of compensation," Chen Jiaxiang managed to regain his composure swiftly, deeply bowing to Ge Dongxu as he spoke, despite his heart bleeding inwardly.
A hundred million! The Chen Family had accumulated its wealth over many years, yet their assets hadn't even broken through ten billion. And now, they were about to lose a whole billion.
However, Chen Jiaxiang knew that the worth of a person like Ge Dongxu couldn't truly be measured by money, and if a hundred million could make up their relationship, then it would be very much worth it.
"A hundred million, you indeed have the courage of your convictions, but I am not in need of money," Ge Dongxu said indifferently.
At these words, Chen Jiaxiang's expression froze instantly.
Over the years, having made connections with many remarkable individuals, he knew that these people were not like the legendary immortals, aloof from worldly possessions. Instead, they were often in more urgent need of money than the average person, like Sun Yunyang. In Chen Jiaxiang's view, even if Ge Dongxu had great abilities, he couldn't be above worldly desires, so he made a bold offer of a hundred million, thinking at the very least Ge Dongxu would be tempted. But he didn't even bat an eyelid, casually refusing the offer.
Suddenly, Chen Jiaxiang found himself at a loss for what more he could do.
Aside from money, he really didn't know what else he could offer to sway a person like Ge Dongxu.
"Alright, you can leave now. I know what you're worried about, but the pure remain pure and the foul remain foul. Your Chen Family's affairs are not my business, and naturally, I won't concern myself with or ask about them. It's all up to the provincial authorities to decide. I just want to offer one piece of advice—if your Chen Family manages to escape disaster this time, I hope you will learn your lesson," seeing Chen Jiaxiang frozen with that expression, Ge Dongxu waved his hand and turned to go back to the private room.
Watching the door of the private room close again, Chen Jiaxiang stood there for quite some time, eventually letting out a long, shameful sigh before turning to leave.

Returning to the private room, Ge Dongxu thoroughly enjoyed both the auditory and visual feast of the beautiful women taking turns to sing.
Especially Wu Shiyi, who dressed seductively and danced even more so.
Several times, Ge Dongxu found it hard to look directly at her, as her twisting body, wrapped in a tight-fitting dress, presented curves that rose and fell so dramatically that any man would feel his blood racing.
As for Liu Manman, perhaps due to her age, she was relatively more reserved, but her every move and smile were like a ripe peach, exuding charming allure, unconsciously hooking away one's soul.
"Xu, why don't you sing one for us, just one!" After the four beauties had sung and danced for a while without eliciting any response from Ge Dongxu, they swarmed over to him, chirping and coaxing.
"I really can't sing. You all continue, and I'll be responsible for listening and applauding," Ge Dongxu declined to go up.
"If you won't sing, then dance with us," Seeing Ge Dongxu wouldn't sing, the four women playfully insisted for a bit before relenting, not wanting to push him too hard, and then suggested dancing instead.
"No, I'm even worse at dancing," Ge Dongxu was so alarmed at the mention of dancing that he almost considered getting up and leaving.
Last time in the capital, dancing close with Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi, Ge Dongxu still felt "haunted" when he thought about it.
"Don't worry, Xu, this time we'll do ballroom dancing. You have to learn ballroom dancing; you'll need it when accompanying your girlfriend to any functions. There's always dancing involved," seeing Ge Dongxu clearly "haunted" by the memory, Liu Manman recalled how she and Wu Shiyi had taken the initiative to seduce him that night, her face turned slightly red as she flirted with Ge Dongxu, coaxing him.
"Yeah, that's right. Xu, let me tell you, Lili actually loves dancing, but she hasn't been able to find a male partner because of you, and keeps having to drag me along to dance the men's steps," Jin Yushan immediately chimed in.
Upon hearing this, Ge Dongxu thought back to the first day of orientation when the vice president of the cultural department in charge of welcoming him, Ye Tong, had told him about the ballroom dance classes that were going to be organized for freshmen after military training. Considering the wolfish nature of his three roommates, they would definitely sign up and drag him along as well.
Remembering that there were more men than women in the School of Environmental and Resource Sciences, and that he might have to pair up with another man for dance practice, Ge Dongxu felt his skin crawl at the thought. Without further hesitation, he nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll learn a bit."
As long as I learn it now, there will be a natural reason not to join the social dance training class later.
"Wow, Dongxu, you're so nice, letting Manman teach you first." Wu Shiyi and the others immediately clapped and cheered, leaving Ge Dongxu crying and laughing.
"Dongxu, hold my waist and follow the rhythm. Let's start with the simple slow waltz," Liu Manman stepped forward, took Ge Dongxu's hand, and placed it on her slender, soft waist as she spoke softly.
Once again holding Liu Manman's soft waist and smelling the familiar seductive fragrance, a ripple stirred in Ge Dongxu's heart.
The music started at that moment.
Liu Manman then led Ge Dongxu onto the dance floor.
Social dance might be a bit difficult for the average person at first and inevitably, one might step on their female partner's feet, but for someone like Ge Dongxu who could even "fly with the control of qi" and was almost an immortal, it was truly just a piece of cake. Even the quickstep, which many saw as the most difficult and used to gauge one's ability in social dance, Manman only had to lead him through once before Ge Dongxu turned into a dance maestro.
"You're so bad, Dongxu, claiming you can't dance and deceiving us, weren't you?" Once the song ended, Liu Manman couldn't help but raise her small fist and lightly punched Ge Dongxu, chastising him.
"I just learned it just now," Ge Dongxu said with a helpless wry smile.
"I don't believe you! Shiyi is our stage's recognized dance master, it's your turn now," Liu Manman raised her small fist again and lightly hit Ge Dongxu, then turned to Wu Shiyi with a smile.
"Still dancing!" Ge Dongxu couldn't help blurting out.
"Of course, Dongxu, you can't show partiality!" Wu Shiyi said, a sly glint in her beautiful eyes.
Having been around Ge Dongxu for so long, she had quite understood his kind nature.
Sure enough, once Wu Shiyi said this, Ge Dongxu found it hard to refuse again, so he had no choice but to hold Wu Shiyi's serpentine waist, encased in a tight-fitting dress, and drift into the dance floor with the music.
At some point, the lights dimmed.
And at some point, Wu Shiyi almost completely pressed against Ge Dongxu's body, her hot, sexy figure causing a subtle change in Ge Dongxu's body, and he inwardly lamented.
If this continued, sooner or later Shiyi would notice, and that would be embarrassing.
If it really turned embarrassing, the relationship between them would probably become more ambiguous.
Thinking this, Ge Dongxu suddenly remembered the time he promised Liu Jiayao he wouldn't bring her many sisters, and Jiayao had said she didn't need his promise. Her only worry was that he was too outstanding, fearing that too many women would cling to him later. He had a kind heart; he couldn't bear to let one go or leave another behind, ending up having no control over the situation.
Strangely enough, as soon as Ge Dongxu remembered Liu Jiayao's reminder, the stirring in his heart gradually calmed down.
It was as if having Wu Shiyi cling to him wasn't a big deal.
After one song, it was Jin Yushan's turn to dance with him, followed by Lin Sijie.
When Ge Dongxu had danced a song with each person and sat back down on the sofa, he watched the four sexy and graceful beauties continue dancing and singing. Because he suddenly remembered Jiayao's reminder, he now faced the four beauties with a mind as calm as still water.
If Liu Manman and the others were a garden of flowers and I remained unmoved at this moment, I should surely count as having "passed untouched by a single leaf amid a forest of blooms," but what does that have to do with my cultivation? After all, I didn't engage in any dual cultivation with them just now.
Ge Dongxu felt as if he faintly grasped the true meaning hidden within the phrase "passed untouched by a single leaf amid a forest of blooms," yet he also felt as if he hadn't grasped anything at all.
