This Doctor Is Too Wealthy Chapter 998 - 680 You should be born in the Year of the Dog

"Very familiar?"

"Well, not really. It’s just that this woman’s family lives in the apartnt above ours, so I’ve seen her a few tis over the days."

Wei Kaida shook his head with a wry smile, while Du Heng asked with interest, "Wow, you live in the sa building? She must be very bold then. Isn’t she afraid you’ll tell her husband?"

"Sigh, let put it this way, Du," Wei Kaida said, affecting a profound tone. "Before I started working at the clinic, I just thought it was a way to earn a living. But after I really got into it, I realized this place isn’t just for seeing patients and making money; it’s an intelligence hub."

Wei Kaida glanced sideways at Du Heng. "After these past few months of experience, there’s nothing that happens in the residential areas around our clinic that I don’t know about."

Du Heng looked at the sowhat smug Wei Kaida and laughed. "Heh, not bad. You’ve skipped many years of groundwork and gone straight to being the director of an intelligence station. But seriously, isn’t she afraid you’ll spill the beans?"

"Pfft, spill the beans? Am I sick in the head? I’m not a gossip; I don’t have a hobby of stirring up trouble about others." Wei Kaida expressed strong disdain for Du Heng’s idea. "Besides, patients have a right to privacy. If I were to blab that so-and-so is ssing around with so-and-so and caught so disease, believe it or not, they’d sue in minutes. If sothing like that happened even once, do you think the ordinary people around here would still co to my clinic for treatnt and dicine? Who the hell wants to admit they’re sick?"

Du Heng nodded in understanding. "That’s true. A clinic relies on repeat business, on serving regular custors. Confidentiality is indeed very important."

With that, Du Heng slapped his thighs, stood up directly, and said, "Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a al."

But Wei Kaida, unexpectedly, waved his hand. "Forget it, I’ll pass. My Dad went to visit relatives today, and the nurse took leave for so family matters. I should stay a bit longer, just in case soone cos to the door for dicine, so things aren’t delayed."

"Are you sure you don’t want to go?" Du Heng looked at Wei Kaida in surprise. "You’ve worked hard these past two months. On behalf of Xiao Yi, I want to thank you, his Master. Co on, being dedicated doesn’t an you can’t take a short break."

As Du Heng spoke, he started to pull Wei Kaida towards the door. He had thought that given Wei Kaida’s personality, he would reluctantly get up with a little coaxing.

However, Wei Kaida’s choice once again exceeded Du Heng’s expectations. "Alright, we’re brothers, so let’s not be so formal. Xiao Yi is your nephew, and now he’s my disciple too. There’s no need for such sentintality. Besides, from now on, you have to send him here every weekend. I need to supervise Xiao Yi’s review of his lessons; otherwise, these two months of effort will have been for nothing."

Du Heng looked Wei Kaida up and down. "Are you really taking this seriously?"

Wei Kaida chuckled softly. "Of course, I have to. Xiao Yi is a good seedling, and most importantly, the child is willing to learn. Recognizing dicine Ingredients, morizing prirs—it’s all tedious and ti-consuming, but he can sit still and rember it. If I don’t take it seriously, I’d be letting him down."

He sighed softly before continuing, "I guess this is how my life will be. I understood things too late. No matter how hard I study now, I’ll never be able to catch up to you and Jin in this lifeti."

He then looked around the clinic. "You’ve seen it; the clinic’s conditions are what they are. In the future, I’m destined to deal with colds, fevers, and diarrhea for the rest of my life. However, this kind of work and life is actually best for soone restless like —it’s free and comfortable. So, if I’m not capable myself, so be it. But I must train a brilliant disciple. A master gains honor through their disciple. Those outstanding people whom I can’t catch up to now, when I’m seventy or eighty years old, they’ll have to address as Elder Wei and Brother Kaida."

Wei Kaida suddenly winked at Du Heng, teasing, "Take your current teacher, for example. Riding on your reputation, Du Heng, who dares to call your teacher just ’Li’ anymore? Everyone respectfully addresses him as Professor Li now. Of course, he benefited from a ready-made situation, while I have to cultivate my talent from scratch. So, when Xiao Yi makes a na for himself, I’ll stand even taller—straighter than your teacher."

There was a mix of truth and exaggeration in these words, but they also reflected Wei Kaida’s genuine thoughts. Hearing Wei Kaida ander his way to Li Jianwei, Du Heng was utterly speechless.

"That’s enough out of you. Although my teacher hasn’t taught much directly, he has provided with incredible resources."

Du Heng rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, do you really think I was selected as a Famous Traditional Chinese dicine Doctor and got into the Health Group at such a young age solely because of my high skill level?"

"Isn’t that it?"

"Bullshit. There are plenty of people in this world more skilled than I am," Du Heng said, a bit helplessly. "Let tell you about one I know. There’s a senior doctor in Lin County Town. His skill in feeling the pulse and diagnosing is exceptional, not to ntion his prescribing and preparing of dicine—I’ve learned a lot from him. He’s highly skilled and has a good reputation locally. But can he be selected as a Famous Traditional Chinese dicine Doctor? Can he apply for the research projects I currently have?"

As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, Wei Kaida imdiately beca displeased and said sarcastically, "Du, what are you trying to say? Are you suggesting I won’t be of any help to Xiao Yi’s future developnt?"
