“Hello, I’m Zhong Changning, the president of the Art Association. I’d like to invite you to join the association…”

Zhong Changning’s voice echoed clearly from the speakerphone, making everyone in the room hear it distinctly.

Tang Tang’s expression immediately changed. She had joined the Art Association through her own assessment, and in two years, she hadn’t even met President Zhong Changning in person, let alone received a personal call from him.

But here was Lin Zhiyan not only answering President Zhong’s call but also being personally invited to join the Art Association.

Tang Tang was almost exploding with anger, wishing she could snatch Lin Zhiyan’s phone and smash it to pieces. She had been expelled from the association, so why should Lin Zhiyan get in?

She couldn’t accept this!

However, nobody paid any attention to her thoughts.

Lin Zhiyan, after a moment of astonishment, eagerly asked, “Can I join?”

She looked at Nan Yan in disbelief.

Nan Yan nodded calmly in response.

President Zhong Changning, who usually had a serious demeanor, tried to sound gentler this time. “I’ve seen your artwork, and you’re a talented artist with lively creations. That’s why you qualify to join the Art Association.”

“Are you willing to accept?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course, I’m willing!” Lin Zhiyan’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Thank you so much. I feel incredibly honored to be able to join the Art Association!”

The Art Association was a sacred place in the hearts of every artist. She had always dreamed of joining, so there was no reason for her to refuse now that her dream was coming true.

“Alright then,” President Zhong Changning continued, “N… Nan Yan mentioned that your health isn’t in the best condition, so you need some more time for recovery. When you feel better, just come to the Art Association and report.”

Lin Zhiyan eagerly agreed, saying, “Yes, yes!”

After notifying President Zhong Changning, she hung up the phone. Then, she hugged Lin’s mother excitedly and tears of happiness streamed down her face.

Once her emotions had settled a bit, she approached Nan Yan and gratefully said, “Nan Yan, thank you!”

She could guess that Nan Yan had helped her behind the scenes to get into the association.

Being friends with her was such a stroke of luck!

Nan Yan reached out and patted her shoulder. “In the coming days, take your medication, and cooperate with the treatment.”

“I will!”

Mrs. Tang and Tang Tang watched Lin Zhiyan’s triumphant demeanor, which infuriated them to no end. However, they had to face Nan Yan’s dominance next. They didn’t even have a chance for their lawyer to intervene before they were taken to the police station.

This time, it was a punishment.

Tang Tang was sentenced to three months in prison and fined for inciting netizens, exposing Lin Zhiyan, and engaging in threats and intimidation.

Mrs. Tang threw a tantrum at the police station, and Tang Tang resisted detention, but they were ultimately forcibly subdued by the police.

When Tang Xiangming learned that his daughter was facing imprisonment, he couldn’t care less about the affairs of his company and rushed to Jin City with Mrs. Tang.

However, with pressure from Qin Lu in the background, Tang Xiangming could only return to the capital city with Mrs. Tang in disappointment.

As for Tang Tang, no one could save her. She had to be detained in the detention center for three months before she could be released.

With Tang Tang’s detention, the hot topics on Weibo were removed. The Tang family had encountered major troubles, and they temporarily had no interest in causing trouble for Nan Yan and the Lin family.

As for the An family, they had been cursed for many days until new news emerged, pushing this matter down. However, the reputation of the An family had already plummeted, and the company’s business was in a slump.

Old Master An only found out about all this later.

Seeing what his son’s family had done to Nan Yan in the past, he was thoroughly disappointed and didn’t want to have anything to do with them anvmore.

He directly announced that he was transferring his entire shareholding to Nan Yan, and he wouldn’t be involved in the company’s affairs any longer. This move by Old Master An left An Yaoqing so furious in the hospital that he nearly fainted.

Lu Lehua wanted to take An Zhici and An Siting to the old family estate to confront him and make him calm down.

Unfortunately, this time, they couldn’t even get through the gates of the old mansion.

Upon learning that Old Master An had transferred all the shares to her, Nan Yan went directly to find An Xiran.

“Fourth Brother, sign this.”

She handed over a stack of printed documents and placed them in front of An Xiran.

“What is this?” An Xiran picked up the share transfer contract with a puzzled look, glanced at it, and pushed it back. “This is from Grandfather, I can’t accept it.”

Nan Yan had a cold expression. “If you don’t want it, I’ll sell it on the trading website.”

An Xiran: ‘

Wasn’t she forcing him to take it?

Although he didn’t like taking over the company and didn’t want to get involved in family matters, the family’s business couldn’t be handed over to outsiders for nothing.

He believed that if Nan Yan said it, she would definitely do it.

With no other choice, he signed the share transfer agreement.

After signing, he said, “Yanyan, I’ll hold onto these shares for you for now. When you want them in the future, I’ll transfer them to you.”

Nan Yan replied firmly, “There won’t be such a day.”

She picked up the share transfer document and continued, “As long as the shares remain in your hands, I won’t destroy the An family.”

An Xiran was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“Exactly what I said.”

She had no emotional attachment to the An family; her only emotional connection was with Old Master An and An Xiran. As for the others, they were all accomplices in the original host’s demise. She wouldn’t let them off easily.

After settling the matter of the shares, Nan Yan returned to First Hospital once again.

Director Tao had some questions related to traditional Chinese medicine that he wanted to discuss with her. It was difficult to explain over the phone, so they decided to meet in person.

After resolving Director Tao’s questions, Nan Yan remembered the patient she had arranged to meet on the Dark Realm.

“Elder Tao, in a few days, there will be a patient coming here. Please help arrange their admission when the time comes.”

“No problem,” Director Tao agreed with a cheerful smile. “Nan Yan, does this patient have any specific medical condition?”

Nan Yan thought for a moment and replied, “Yes, the situation is quite critical.”

Although she hadn’t met the patient yet, she had a pretty good idea of their condition.

Director Tao’s eyes brightened, and he said, “In that case, can I bring a few colleagues to observe when you treat them?”

The opportunity to observe clinical treatment like this was quite precious.

“That’s fine,” Nan Yan had no objections. She paused for a moment and added,

“If there are any questions in their daily practice, they can come to me as well.”

“Thank you, Nan,” Director Tao exclaimed joyfully, his eyebrows almost flying off his forehead. “Those old guys always think they’re the best, but it’s only you who can make them humble and seek advice.”

Nan Yan was taken aback. She thought Director Tao was referring to his own disciples. However, it turned out he was talking about several experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the Chinese Medicine Association.

She hadn’t had much contact with domestic Chinese medicine, so she was unaware of the level of development in this field. If given the chance, she would be willing to share her knowledge of Chinese medicine theory and experience with them. After all, reviving traditional Chinese medicine was her master’s wish.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the national physics competition.

Nan Yan had promised the headmaster that she would bring back the first prize in the physics competition.

She had to accompany the students from Zhide High School who were participating in the physics competition on a bus to the best high school in Jin City, the First High School.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Nan Yan, who didn’t get motion sickness even when flying on airplanes, felt dizzy on the bus….
