That afternoon, Su Ning called Huang Yunyun to his office.

"Yunyun, come out with me tomorrow morning," Su Ning said while organizing the documents.

Huang Yunyun was recording the itinerary when she heard this and looked up, "Where...where are we going?"

“Come to my house,” Su Ning said.

Huang Yunyun's pen fell to the table with a "clatter," and her face flushed red to the roots of her ears. "Go...go to your house? Why...why?"

Su Ning then realized the ambiguity in her words and couldn't help but laugh. "Don't misunderstand! The old Chinese medicine doctor I invited is in Shenzhen. He'll be seeing guests at my house tomorrow. I asked him to take a look at your stuttering while he's at it."

Huang Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned even redder. She quickly lowered her head to pick up the pen. "I'm sorry... President Su, I... I misunderstood."

"Little girl, what's on your mind?" Su Ning shook her head. "That old Chinese medicine doctor is very famous. He specializes in treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. I pulled a lot of strings to get him here. Your stuttering is due to acquired nerve damage. Maybe he can cure it."

Huang Yunyun looked up, her eyes filled with expectation and unease. "Can...can it really be cured? I...I've seen so many doctors, and they all said...that there's no hope."

"Give it a try," Su Ning said. "Even if it can't completely cure you, it would be good if it could improve your condition. At least it would make your speech a little smoother and less strenuous."

"Thank you... thank you, Mr. Su." Huang Yunyun's eyes reddened. "You've been so good to me."

"Alright, stop crying. People will think I bullied you." Su Ning handed her a tissue. "I'll pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to wear comfortable clothes; the treatment might require acupuncture."

"Needles... acupuncture?" Huang Yunyun was a little scared.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt," Su Ning said. "That old Chinese medicine doctor's technique is very good."

……

The next morning, Suning drove Huang Yunyun to his place.

Huang Yunyun sat in the passenger seat, her mind completely blank with nervousness.

This was her first time visiting Su Ning's home. Although she knew it was for a medical appointment, she couldn't help but overthink things.

Actually, I was secretly hoping that Su Ning would sexually harass me, so that I could stay by Su Ning's side with peace of mind.

Suning was naturally unaware of the girl's thoughts, otherwise he would have been unable to resist letting loose again.

Soon, Tiger Head arrived at Suning's place, a high-end apartment in Futian District, not far from the company.

The house wasn't big, but it was decorated exquisitely and was clean and tidy.

Upon entering, Huang Yunyun saw an elderly gentleman sitting in the living room.

The old gentleman looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair, wearing a Chinese-style jacket, and exuding a refined and scholarly air.

He is Hua Rui, an AI robot summoned by Suning from the system space, who has always been in charge of medical and health tasks.

Moreover, the AI ​​chip contains a complete collection of human medical knowledge, making it virtually omnipotent.

Bringing the dead back to life isn't a huge problem; the main issue is whether Suning, the controller, has the will to do so.

"Dr. Hua, this is Huang Yunyun, whom I told you about," Su Ning introduced.

Hua Rui stood up, smiling as he looked Huang Yunyun over. "Ms. Huang, please have a seat. President Su told me about your situation—language nerve damage caused by a high fever at age three, right?"

"Yes...yes," Huang Yunyun said softly.

"Don't be nervous, let me take your pulse first." Hua Rui asked Huang Yunyun to sit down and gently placed his fingers on her wrist.

Huang Yunyun looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor nervously.

I noticed that the old Chinese medicine doctor's fingers were very cold, but his eyes were very gentle, which made me feel relaxed involuntarily.

After taking her pulse, Hua Rui examined Huang Yunyun's tongue and asked her some questions: When did she start stuttering? Does she usually have difficulty speaking? Does it get worse when she's nervous?

Huang Yunyun answered them one by one.

Strangely, when talking to this old Chinese medicine doctor, she seemed less nervous, and her stuttering became less pronounced.

“I understand the situation,” Hua Rui said. “You have a typical case of acquired language disorder. The high fever damaged part of the nerves in the brain’s language center, causing poor signal transmission. However, the good news is that the damage is not serious and there is still a possibility of recovery.”

"Can...can it really be cured?" Huang Yunyun's voice trembled with excitement.

“It can be cured,” Hua Rui said confidently. “However, it will take time and your cooperation. The treatment consists of two parts: first, acupuncture to stimulate the self-repair of the damaged nerves; second, you need to exercise, like rehabilitation, to retrain your language function.”

Su Ning explained from the side, "Yunyun, Dr. Hua is a top expert in the country. If he says he can cure it, then he definitely can. You must have confidence."

"Yes!" Huang Yunyun nodded vigorously.

The treatment will begin next.

Hua Rui had Huang Yunyun lie down on the sofa and took out silver needles to disinfect them.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt," Hua Rui said. "It mainly affects the acupoints on the head and neck. Relax and take deep breaths."

Huang Yunyun closed her eyes and felt the silver needles gently pierce her skin.

It doesn't hurt at all, just a slight soreness.

Hua Tuo's technique was very steady, and his needle insertion was precise.

As he administered the acupuncture, he explained, "This is Baihui, which governs brain function. This is Fengchi, which regulates the nervous system. This is Lianquan, which is specifically for speech disorders..."

As the silver needles were inserted one by one, Huang Yunyun felt a warm and comfortable sensation in her head and neck.

That constant tension seems to have slowly eased.

The acupuncture lasted for half an hour.

After removing the needles, Hua Rui said, "Ms. Huang, try saying something now. Say anything you want."

Huang Yunyun sat up, thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you... thank you, Dr. Hua."

She was stunned after she finished speaking.

That last sentence went much more smoothly than usual!

Although there are still some slight pauses, it's not as hesitant and intermittent as before.

"I...I..." Huang Yunyun was too excited to speak.

"The results are good." Hua Rui smiled. "The improvement after the first treatment shows that your nerves have great potential for repair. However, this is just the beginning, and you will need to continue treatment for a period of time."

Suning was also very happy, "Yunyun, did you hear that? It really works!"

Huang Yunyun burst into tears, "Thank you... thank you Dr. Hua! Thank you President Su! I... I really didn't expect this..."

“Don’t cry, this is a good thing,” Hua Rui said. “Next, I’ll give you an exercise plan. You have to practice every day, just like that famous King George VI of England. You know, he also stuttered, but through training, he became an excellent orator.”

Huang Yunyun nodded, "I...I've seen that movie. King George VI was truly remarkable."

“Yes, that’s it,” Hua Rui said. “I’ll give you a few practice methods: First, read aloud every day, starting with simple articles and gradually increasing the difficulty. Second, practice tongue twisters to train your tongue’s flexibility. Third, speak in front of a mirror and observe your mouth shape. Fourth, and most importantly—don’t be afraid of making mistakes, don’t be afraid of others laughing. Stuttering is not shameful; the most important thing is to speak up bravely.”

"I...I remember," Huang Yunyun said, wiping away her tears.

Hua Rui then gave some further instructions and wrote a prescription…

Actually, they are some health supplements for nourishing the nerves, which I redeemed from the system store.

“One treatment per week for six weeks. With exercise and medication, I guarantee your stuttering will improve significantly after six weeks.” Hua Rui then got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Thank you... thank you!" Huang Yunyun bowed deeply.

……

Huang Yunyun was a completely different person after leaving Suning's house.

With a smile on her face and bright, sparkling eyes, she walked with a light step.

"So happy?" Su Ning drove her home and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like that.

"Yes!" Huang Yunyun nodded vigorously. "President Su, I really... really didn't expect that I could be cured. I thought... this was how my life would be."

"Now you know, nothing is impossible," Su Ning said. "As long as you don't give up, there will always be hope." "It's all...it's all because of you." Huang Yunyun looked at Su Ning with deep gratitude in her eyes. "If it weren't for you, I...I might have lived in inferiority for the rest of my life."

“Don’t say that,” Su Ning said. “It’s your own courage to accept treatment. Many people are unwilling to face their problems and would rather run away from them their whole lives. You are willing to try and willing to change, which is remarkable.”

Huang Yunyun blushed. "It was...it was you who gave me courage."

As the car arrived at Lanyuan Village, Huang Yunyun suddenly said before getting out, "President Su, could I... could I treat you to a meal? Although... although it might not be as good as what you usually eat, but... but I want to thank you."

Su Ning thought for a moment, "Okay... but we don't need to eat out, let's just eat at your place. I haven't tried your cooking yet."

"Really? Really?" Huang Yunyun's eyes lit up. "My cooking... is pretty good! Even my dad says it's delicious!"

“Then it’s settled. I’ll come to your house for dinner this weekend,” Su Ning said. “Now you should go back and start practicing. Start today with the methods Dr. Hua mentioned.”

"Okay!" Huang Yunyun nodded vigorously.

Watching Huang Yunyun's cheerful figure disappear into the distance, Su Ning smiled.

It feels good to be able to help someone.

Moreover, Huang Yunyun is indeed a very nice girl.

Diligent, meticulous, and grateful—a typical Chaoshan girl.

Having such an assistant is a stroke of luck.

……

In the following days, Huang Yunyun seemed like a completely different person.

I arrive at the company early every day, and after finishing my work, I make the most of my time to practice.

She printed out several articles, starting with simple children's stories, and read them aloud every day.

At first, I stuttered a little, but I gradually got the hang of it.

To this end, she even found a few tongue twisters: "Four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty..."

I practiced it over and over again until my tongue went numb.

During her lunch break, Huang Yunyun spoke to herself in front of the bathroom mirror, observing her lip movements and adjusting her pronunciation.

Huang Yunyun's colleagues were all surprised to notice the changes in her.

"Yunyun, you seem to be speaking much more smoothly now?"

Is there some secret to it?

Huang Yunyun said shyly, "President Su... found me an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and I'm... I'm receiving treatment."

"Really? That's great! Congratulations!"

Everyone was happy for Huang Yunyun.

Huang Yunyun felt a warmth in her heart.

It turns out that not everyone would laugh at her; most people are kind.

This gave Huang Yunyun even more confidence.

A week later, the second treatment.

The effect was even more obvious this time.

After acupuncture, Huang Yunyun's speech has mostly stopped stuttering, although her speech is still a bit slow and she needs to think.

Hua Rui was very satisfied. "The progress is very fast. At this rate, it should be basically back to normal in six weeks."

Huang Yunyun was so excited that she couldn't speak and could only keep bowing.

……

On the weekend, Suning went to Huang's house for dinner as promised.

Huang Renfa knew that Suning was coming, so he specially prepared a large table of dishes.

The feast was even more lavish than the last time I hosted a dinner party. It included chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicacies from land and sea.

Huang Yunyun personally cooked several of her signature dishes.

At the dinner table, Huang Renfa saw that his daughter's speech was much smoother, and he was so happy that tears streamed down his face. "President Su, you are a great benefactor to our Huang family! Yunyun's illness has tormented her for more than ten years, and it has tormented us for more than ten years. Now there is finally hope. I... I really don't know how to thank you."

“Village Chief Huang, please don’t say that,” Su Ning said. “Yunyun is my assistant. She’s very hardworking and has helped me a lot. It’s only right that I help her.”

“No, no, no, these are two different things,” Huang Renfa said. “We will always remember how good you have been to Yunyun. If there is anything we can do for you in the future, please just ask, and we will do our best to help.”

Huang Yunyun sat next to him, her face flushed, and kept putting food on Su Ning's plate, saying, "President Su, please try this. I... I made it."

"Okay, I'll try it." Su Ning took a bite. "Hmm, not bad, even better than the ones in restaurants."

Huang Yunyun smiled, a very happy smile.

During that meal, the entire Huang family treated Su Ning with utmost respect, regarding him as their benefactor.

Suning could sense that the Huang family was sincere.

Such families, though lacking any significant background, are loyal, righteous, and grateful.

In this realistic society, this is a rare find.

After the meal, Huang Yunyun escorted Su Ning to the village entrance. "President Su, thank you. No... it's not just because of the treatment. It's because you gave me confidence, made me feel... that I am a useful person too."

“You are a useful person to begin with,” Su Ning said. “Yunyun, remember, stuttering is not your fault, nor is it a flaw. It’s just a small problem that’s being addressed. You have many strengths—attentiveness, responsibility, kindness, and gratitude. These are far more important than whether you can speak well.”

Huang Yunyun's tears came again, but this time they were tears of happiness.

"I will...keep trying. I won't let you down."

"Well, I believe you."

Watching Suning's car drive away, Huang Yunyun stood at the village entrance for a long time without leaving.

I had a feeling I'd never experienced before.

Warm, reassuring, and full of hope.

I know that my life changed the day I met Suning.

And this change has only just begun.

At this moment, Huang Renfa's sarcastic voice rang out, "So? Isn't this President Su quite outstanding?"

"Yes, Dad, it's not easy for President Su to do business. I hope you and my older brother can help him more," Huang Yunyun said, turning to her father beside her.

"Don't worry! Shenzhen has become a mixed bag in recent years, but most people have no bottom line or rules. Young people like Suning are still rare."

"Dad, you have a great eye for people." Huang Yunyun's face showed admiration.

"Yunyun, if you like it, you can take the initiative. Dad supports you."

"Dad, don't joke with me. How could a man like President Su possibly be interested in me?" Huang Yunyun immediately blushed with embarrassment.

"Silly girl, how will you know if you don't try? You know, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man."

"But... he can never be a live-in son-in-law."

“Yunyun, finding a son-in-law to live with us is a last resort. If we meet someone better, who would still want a son-in-law who lives with us?”
