The physician wiped his face, then rolled down the car window and waved goodbye to her.
Just as Shi Yiling instinctively turned to wave back, she saw something that made her immediately turn and run back.
“Hey, handsome, mind if we get acquainted? Make a friend?” A woman with heavy makeup, wearing a leather jacket and black stockings, now stood by the physician's car. The weather was only in the teens, and she was wearing only a knit cardigan over her clothes. There seemed to be a mark on her neck, something like a "hickey." kuAiδugg
“Uh…” The physician hadn't expected to be hit on while just waving goodbye to his fiancée. Moreover, this woman had approached him so boldly after just a brief glance.
He was a little caught off guard by her forwardness.
It was at this moment that Shi Yiling had rushed back.
She quickly stood between the woman and the physician.
“He’s my fiancé!”
Shi Yiling declared her claim loudly.
“Oh.”
The woman, seeing this, wisely turned and entered the school.
“This person is actually a fellow student?!” Shi Yiling found it utterly bizarre. How had she never met such a female classmate before?
“Alright, it’s time for class. Don’t be late,” the physician said calmly.
“I’m so mad, there really are people like that!” Shi Yiling thought about what she had said in the car, and she became even angrier.
She hadn’t expected that she herself was the most naive!
“The world is vast and full of wonders, there’s nothing we can do,” the physician continued to comfort her.
“Mmm…”
This time, as Shi Yiling walked away, she couldn’t help but glance back repeatedly, fearing that some unwanted admirer might approach her fiancé again!
After seeing Shi Yiling safely inside, the physician finally drove away.
Meanwhile, Uncle Qi accompanied Lin Xiao to the medical hall.
The traditional Chinese medicine hall was still under renovation.
“This will be your future workplace. I brought you here today to show you around. You come from the Ning family, and as the physician mentioned, when he’s away, you’ve basically been handling the matters he’s supposed to. Therefore, I believe your medical skills and capabilities make you the most suitable candidate for this position,” Lin Xiao patted Uncle Qi on the shoulder.
“Thank you.”
Uncle Qi looked at the immense medical hall. Honestly, it was more like a hospital than a medical hall. It occupied four to five times the space of the adjacent businesses and appeared to have three to four floors.
Such a large place was no less than the Ning family estate.
“You don’t need to thank me. The right position goes to the right person. If you have the ability, you earn this post,” Lin Xiao said. If he didn’t have to spend most of his time accompanying his wife and children, he might have been stationed here himself.
With Ning Fengzhi present now, he felt at ease.
“Come, I’ll guide you through the process. There are still some procedures and assessments to go through, but I imagine it will be quite simple for you,” Lin Xiao said, gesturing towards a car nearby.
When Ning Fengzhi turned his head to look at the car, his brow furrowed.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi frown, Lin Xiao nodded, seemingly realizing that he had noticed something.
The two arrived at the car, and Lin Xiao knocked on the window.
The window rolled down, revealing the old man who had claimed to be an acquaintance of the Lin family. However, the old man now looked much more drained than before.
