"Xiao Fan, you're finally back."
Xia Xue walked into the medical clinic with a cold face.
"Sister-in-law, you're here."
Lin Fan straightened up with a jerk, afraid his sister-in-law would notice something.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xia Xue asked.
"Nothing, just tired."
Lin Fan chuckled and brushed it off.
"What made you so tired? By the way, where did you sleep last night? I came to the clinic just now, and you still hadn't returned."
Xia Xue's eyes were full of suspicion as she looked at Lin Fan.
"Sigh, don't mention it. I was working like a horse for Tian Mengyao."
Lin Fan complained, then immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me that the villagers were unwilling to work for the cooperative?"
Xia Xue was a little surprised. "Is there such a thing? Oh, I hear the loudspeakers every day calling people to work. Is no one going?"
"Alas, it's my fault, to be honest."
Lin Fan narrated the whole story.
"Luckily, I was there. Otherwise, with that girl, she would have surely messed things up."
"How did you resolve it?"
Xia Xue asked.
"Heh, a wise man has his ways."
Just as Lin Fan was about to boast about himself, his phone suddenly rang.
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment, I need to take a call."
Lin Fan prayed inwardly, hoping it wasn't Su Yurou or Wang Ying.
He had barely managed to fool his sister-in-law, and it would be difficult to explain then!
"Sister Zhou?"
Seeing the caller ID, Lin Fan remembered that he had promised Zhou Yi that he would go and treat Deputy Director Li's wife.
"Sister-in-law, it's Boss Zhou from Xinghe Real Estate. She's probably calling me to treat someone."
Lin Fan said, then pressed the answer button.
"Xiao Fan, you're finally back!"
Zhou Yi's voice was full of excitement.
"Sister Zhou, what's making you so happy?"
"I'm happy for you, Xiao Fan. Congratulations on defeating that Li Yusheng. You've really brought honor to us northerners!"
Zhou Yi was extremely excited.
It was no wonder. The more powerful Lin Fan was, the more accurate her judgment seemed.
"Did Long Yun tell you?"
Lin Fan was a little unhappy.
If it weren't for Long Yun meddling, he wouldn't have participated in any competition.
"He's planning to retire from the profession and specifically came to say goodbye to me. Then he mentioned your duel with that Zong Sect and your great victory!"
Zhou Yi exclaimed excitedly.
"It wasn't that exaggerated. It was just a lucky win."
Lin Fan said humbly.
"I know your capabilities, Xiao Fan. This small place will soon be too small for you, a great dragon!"
Zhou Yi showered him with praise.
Lin Fan was so flattered that he felt embarrassed.
"Sister Zhou, did you call for something?"
"Of course, I did. I worked hard and finally managed to persuade that rock in the latrine. You can try it, Xiao Fan. Do you remember Director Li's wife? The one with the mental illness."
Zhou Yi reminded him in case he forgot.
"He's already a director so soon?"
Lin Fan was a little surprised.
He was just a minor deputy director before, and seemed rather dejected.
He never expected him to be promoted several levels and become a director!
"He's acting director, but I've inquired. If he doesn't make any major mistakes, he'll very likely be the director. Xiao Fan, how about it, when are you free?"
Zhou Yi's tone was tinged with eagerness.
"Then... how about today?"
Lin Fan said, then secretly glanced at his sister-in-law.
"Alright, I'll send someone to pick you up now."
Zhou Yi happily hung up the phone.
"Sister-in-law, I really can't get a moment's rest. I promised Sister Zhou I'd treat someone a while ago, and she's calling to rush me."
Lin Fan sighed.
"Then hurry up and go. Don't keep them waiting."
Xia Xue's face showed a hint of guilt.
Was she being too suspicious?
Xiao Fan was so busy he could barely stand still, and she was still doubting him. It was really not right.
"Okay, Sister-in-law."
Lin Fan hurried to prepare, stuffing a pile of medicinal herbs into his medicine box, and then found a medical book on mental illness to read.
Beep!
Soon, a car horn sounded outside.
Lin Fan put down the medical book and looked out the window. Indeed, a Rolls-Royce had arrived.
He slung the medicine box over his shoulder and said to Xia Xue, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving. Please lock the door for me. If a patient comes, turn them away for now. I'm too busy to handle more."
"Can you come back for dinner tonight?"
Xia Xue said unhappily, "You're so busy these days, I barely see you."
"To make money!"
Lin Fan said with a smile. "Sister-in-law, I want you to live a good life, better than anyone else."
Xia Xue's heart stirred.
If there was anyone in the world who would give her everything without reservation, it would undoubtedly be Xiao Fan!
"I'm living quite well now. Let's just live a peaceful life..."
Smack!
Lin Fan, with lightning speed, kissed Xia Xue on the cheek.
"Sister-in-law, I'll come back for dinner if I can make it. If not, I'll call you."
Lin Fan bolted.
Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, then her face instantly flushed.
Her flawless, pretty face turned as red as peach blossoms in March, looking incredibly beautiful.
Seeing the driver get out of the car, Xia Xue hurriedly turned her head away, afraid of being discovered.
Only after the car drove away did Xia Xue turn back and huff, "You brat, you're getting bolder and bolder."
...
Lin Fan quickly arrived at his destination.
This was his second time at Zhou Yi's company.
Guided by the driver, Lin Fan, carrying his medicine box, walked into the opulent lobby.
"Mr. Lin, this way, please."
The driver maintained a distance of two to three steps ahead of Lin Fan.
Although Lin Fan was carrying a medicine box and dressed somewhat unusually, no one in the lobby dared to stare at him.
Anyone who could make their boss so respectful must be an extraordinary figure.
No one would want to cause trouble for themselves.
"Boss, Mr. Lin is here."
The driver knocked on the door and led Lin Fan into the office.
"Sister Zhou."
Lin Fan smiled.
"Oh, let me see. The master Lin who saved the reputation of the Northern Feng Shui community and gained great fame."
Zhou Yi teased him slightly, sizing Lin Fan up.
Lin Fan shrugged. "Don't make fun of me."
"What do you mean 'make fun'? I'm sincere."
Zhou Yi gave him a thumbs-up and said seriously, "That old fellow Long Yun has retired from the profession. From now on, you are the foremost Feng Shui master in Yunqing. It might be difficult to even get an audience with you in the future."
"Sister Zhou, please stop talking about such hypothetical things."
Lin Fan placed the medicine box on a nearby sofa. "When are we going to see the patient?"
"Around six in the evening. I put in a lot of effort for them to agree to let you try."
Zhou Yi sat back in her chair and sighed, "Xiao Fan, your physiognomy and divination are truly accurate. Li Jian was so marginalized before, and now in the blink of an eye, he's a director. The thing is, regarding Li Si's matter, so many people have been purged from top to bottom."
She shook her head. "As long as no mistakes are made, he'll very likely have gained a powerful directorship for nothing."
"Sister Zhou, I've been busy with other things lately. To be honest, I'm not very confident about mental illnesses."
Lin Fan was a little nervous. "What if I can't cure him..."
"If you can't cure him, then you can't. Without him, Li Jian, my business will continue as usual. It'll just take a little more effort and I'll earn less money. It's no big deal."
