"You little rascal, your skin is getting thicker by the day, admitting it so readily like that." Old Li pointed at Chen Yang, shaking his head as he spoke.
"Hehe, Old Li, you’re not an outsider, so it doesn’t matter if I have a thicker skin."
Chen Yang chuckled and continued.
This made Old Li feel quite pleased.
He laughed, teasing Chen Yang with a couple of sentences, and didn’t continue joking around.
"Hey, who is this?"
Old Li suddenly noticed the girl standing behind Chen Yang, Xiao Cui.
Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly introduced her, "Old Li, this is Xiao Cui, you must have seen her before. Last ti at the hospital, she was from the family that runs a barbecue restaurant, rember?"
At that ti, Xiao Cui’s mother’s illness was cured not only because of Chen Yang’s dical skills but also due to Old Li’s help.
The dicine needed was provided by Old Li.
Old Li had a bit of an impression of this matter, and upon hearing Chen Yang’s reminder, he instantly recalled it.
"Oh, so it’s you. As you get older, your mory doesn’t serve you well, and you can’t rember many things." Old Li smiled.
Xiao Cui, being sensible, heard what Old Li said and imdiately smiled, slightly bowing as a gesture of respect.
Then she began to express her gratitude, "Old Li, about my mother last ti, I really have to thank you. Without you gathering the dicine, she wouldn’t have woken up so quickly."
Old Li waved his hand, "If you need to thank soone, then thank Chen Yang. I just gathered a few herbs, hardly sothing to thank for."
Old Li didn’t want to dwell on this topic and after a few simple words, he invited Chen Yang and Xiao Cui to sit down.
After pouring them each a cup of tea, he delved into Chen Yang’s purpose for coming today.
Chen Yang didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
He wanted Xiao Cui to work as an intern doctor at Old Li’s clinic, gaining familiarity with the dications while accumulating clinical experience.
The main purpose was to study dicine under Old Li’s guidance.
Chen Yang initially thought that Old Li might need so ti to consider granting such a request.
At the very least, Old Li might conduct so simple assessnts, since taking in a student wasn’t sothing to be taken lightly by a master in traditional dicine.
But to Chen Yang’s surprise, as soon as he made the request, Old Li imdiately agreed, saying it was no problem at all.
This left Chen Yang montarily stunned by Old Li’s decisiveness and straightforwardness.
"Uh... Old Li, aren’t you going to test Xiao Cui’s dical skills first?" Chen Yang was stunned for two or three seconds before asking.
Old Li, with a smile, waved his hand swiftly, "No need. Since you recomnded her, she must be competent. Going through a whole rigmarole takes too much ti."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but feel grateful to Old Li.
Grateful for Old Li’s trust in him.
"Alright, then I’ll have Xiao Cui co over directly tomorrow. Please ensure you guide her properly," Chen Yang smiled and said.
"Yes, let her co tomorrow. Coincidentally, there’s a scheduled appointnt today, and tomorrow she can have a go," Old Li nodded again, expressing no issue with this plan.
Xiao Cui, having observed their conversation from the side, imdiately began to thank Old Li upon realizing she had been accepted.
"Thank you, Old Li. I promise to study diligently and not bring sha to your clinic," Xiao Cui said with determination.
"No need to be so formal. As long as you are willing to learn earnestly, I’m happy to teach," Old Li chuckled before returning to chatting casually with Chen Yang.
The two of them sat on the second floor, talking for about an hour. Noticing the late hour, Chen Yang bid farewell to Old Li and drove away from the clinic with Xiao Cui.
On their way back, Xiao Cui was still filled with excitent.
She couldn’t believe she had beco Old Li’s disciple so effortlessly, which was a great honor in the dical field.
"Xiao Cui, make sure you study properly. If you encounter any problems, you can always consult Old Li or discuss them with ," Chen Yang said while driving, reminding Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui nodded seriously, "Mm-hmm, Chen Yang, don’t worry. I will definitely make sure you and Old Li are proud."
"It’s not about making anyone proud. What matters most is that you learn well."
Chen Yang said with a smile.
Feeling warmth in her heart, Xiao Cui replied softly and didn’t continue the conversation.
In no ti, they arrived back at the foot of the building.
"Here we are, Xiao Cui. It’s late, I won’t co up with you. Once you’re ho, take a bath and get so rest to be ready for tomorrow’s rounds," Chen Yang turned to her with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui was taken aback, "Chen Yang... you’re not coming up to rest... with ?"
She expected Chen Yang to stay over given the late hour.
So when she heard he was leaving, she was a bit puzzled.
"I won’t co up, Xiao Cui. I have many tasks to handle at ho first thing in the morning, so I need to head back tonight," Chen Yang explained.
Realizing he truly wasn’t staying the night, she felt a bit disappointed.
But without saying much more, she nodded, reminded Chen Yang to drive carefully, and got out of the car.
At the entrance of the staircase, she turned and waved to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang smiled back, waved in return, and after making sure she got ho safely, he turned the car around and left town, heading towards Liuhua Village.
There were few cars on the road at night, allowing Chen Yang to drive quickly.
In about half an hour, he reached Liuhua Village.
At this ti, the streetlights in the village were still on, illuminating the whole place brightly.
Driving past the Gu Family building, Chen Yang paid particular attention to it.
He noticed, just like the other night, that many lights were on in the building.
Nurous luxury cars were parked downstairs, several of which he recognized.
They were the sa that had been parked outside the mountain villa earlier that day.
It seed like Gu Xuanyu had arrived.
Seeing this, Chen Yang didn’t dwell on it, took a cursory glance, and then drove back ho.
Knowing he’d return late, Chen Yang had already called Dai Annie in the afternoon, advising her to stay at Wu Kexin’s village office for the night.
Once ho alone, Chen Yang didn’t think much else and went straight to bed after freshening up.
By the following morning, just as he got up, he received a call from the advertising company.
They inford him that the custom packaging from the other day was ready for pickup, asking when he could collect it.
Hearing this, Chen Yang paused for a mont before asking, "Can’t your company deliver it?"
"We can, boss, but there’d be so additional delivery and labor fees."
The person on the other end responded.
"How much?" Chen Yang asked.
"A thousand."
Upon hearing a thousand, Chen Yang thought it wasn’t too expensive, so he agreed promptly.
"A thousand is fine. Deliver it to , and I’ll send the address to the designer right away."
"Alright, boss."
Hearing Chen Yang’s quick agreent, they didn’t waste any more words and hung up the phone.
Putting away his phone, Chen Yang didn’t think further, continued preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and after eating, headed out for a stroll.
