Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2010: Suddenly, we couldn't connect anymore.
Objectively speaking, the reason why Qi Yuewei and Bian Mu's relationship has lasted until now is largely due to Bian Mu's "amazing rescue" under the overpass! In addition... Bian Mu is indeed amazing in his work, and also... Dad is right, Bian Mu has a peculiar ability to control the small situation around him, and he can always unexpectedly "turn danger into safety" whenever he encounters a hurdle!
Apart from that, Qi Yuewei really couldn't see anything remarkable about him!
A few days ago, Bian Mu suddenly became quite close to the two eldest daughters of the Cao and Zhong families. At that time, the Qi and Lu families were struggling with their businesses, and Qi Yuewei found Bian Mu quite pleasing to the eye.

Now, after several rounds of difficult negotiations, the Qi family's major projects are gradually getting on track, and several long-pending technology investments have finally been finalized. For some reason, Qi Yuewei is starting to feel that Bian Mu is actually quite a stranger to her...

Qi Yuewei suddenly became engrossed when she overheard two old men sitting opposite her talking about Bian Mu.

To know someone's innermost thoughts, listen to what they say behind their back! Instead of just stumbling upon them, listen quietly; you might just discover another version of "Master Bian's" story!
Perhaps because his old friend had revealed his lifelong career setbacks, the old man who had asked the question was a little displeased and seized the opportunity to retort: ​​"Isn't that just you being petty?! Your son works at a top-tier public institution, practically a permanent employee! No matter what that guy surnamed Bian does, it won't affect your son, so why are you so anxious?!"

"Tch! Don't you know me?! I'm not talking about the person, just the issue! This guy surnamed Bian's background is shady! You know, the TCM profession values ​​'orthodoxy and lineage' the most! Either you're from a prestigious university, or at the very least, you have a PhD?! My son, at least, is a properly trained master's degree doctor from a top university, and he scored very high on his CET-6! Even if you have a proper lineage, that's fine! But who did he learn from?! Even Old Nie and the others don't give him a second glance. A self-taught quack! Just a quack! What's so great about him!" The more he talked, the more excited he became, his tone becoming increasingly disdainful of Bian Mu!

"Really?! As far as I know, Master Bian is a genuine undergraduate from a prestigious university!" The old man who asked the question defended Bian Mu.

"A bachelor's degree?! Nowadays, academic qualifications are being elevated higher and higher, and society is developing so fast! Back then, we were just ordinary bachelors, and in our respective workplaces, who could compare to us?! In today's world, a bachelor's degree is really nothing! Just a starting point! You never get to the point in your conversations, and we're talking about development trends! Can his unconventional stuff last?! Even if he knows some shady tricks and just stumbles upon a few lucky breaks, artificially creating some fame online, and he does have some effect on certain new diseases, you know... it's like a whirlpool in the water. At first, the surrounding water is forced to follow it and go around in circles. But looking at the upstream and downstream, over a long time scale, can he control the direction of the great rivers?! Or can he affect the flow rate?! Right? Like a grasshopper after autumn, how many more days can he jump around?!" The old man, with his aged and weathered tone, continued to belittle Bian Mu.

"That can't be right! I've heard that many small clinics on the street are starting to self-examine and correct themselves, following the model of the 'New Concept' clinics! I've heard that the industry atmosphere is getting better, and people are saying that the industry atmosphere is gradually improving! Master Bian has played a role, after all, his medical skills are right there in the open! I've watched those videos online several times, and you can tell the difference in temperament and atmosphere. What's your rush?! We have to let others speak, right?! When you were young, you were always so sharp-tongued, but we're both halfway to the grave now, why can't you say something objective and fair?! Don't just listen to Xiao Le's side of the story all day long. You say that this person surnamed Bian is no good at this or that, but I've heard that some hospitals have already taken the initiative to come to him to talk about cooperating in running a clinic. Your Xiao Le is indeed quite capable. He's almost forty, right? I think he hasn't passed the associate senior professional title exam yet?!"

"Pshaw! They're deliberately ostracizing him! What else can it show besides that my Xiao Le is honest and dedicated?! You know what's going on at the hospital! A joint venture to open a hospital?! That's just hearsay, it's definitely something that guy surnamed Bian made up to fool people! It's a shady tactic, self-promotion, anyone can do that! If my Xiao Le were to play dirty tricks like them, he would have been done for long ago... The noodles are getting cold, waiter! Add some hot soup!"

Qi Yuewei was really patient and didn't say anything.

"Who approached you to open a hospital together? Why didn't they tell me?!" Qi Yuewei asked quietly, lowering her voice.

"They're deliberately trying to shift the blame!" Bian Mu glanced at Qi Yuewei and replied quietly.

By this time, the two old men had finished eating. While continuing their argument, they called on Teacher Zhang to pay the bill and prepare to leave. Bian Mu heard clearly that the two old men were splitting the bill for their two bowls of noodles.

Watching the two old men walk away, Qi Yuewei smiled and said, "It seems your reputation in the community isn't what we thought... Tell me, how are you going to shift the blame?!"

With a smile, Bian Mu didn't mind at all and casually recounted how Wen Boyong had tried to play matchmaker.

"Dean Zheng?! What's his full name?" "I didn't ask! I just heard them say that he owns three hospitals, and they're quite large!" Bian Mu casually replied.

Qi Yuewei, on the contrary, took it quite seriously. After inquiring about the general situation of the three hospitals, she quickly took out her phone from her bag and spent a long time checking some software.

“Here! Zheng Qixuan! It must be him! All the information matches what you said…” As she spoke, Qi Yuewei handed her phone to Bian Mu.

The document contains a photo of Dean Zheng, making it easy to identify him.

Bian Mu glanced at it casually and handed the phone back to Qi Yuewei.

"That's right! It's him. He's lying two out of three sentences. He's got a gangster vibe and doesn't look like a doctor at all. I've met a lot of dental experts, but none of them are like him."

"Hey! You can't say that. Some things only need someone like Dean Zheng to handle. If it were you?! It might not work. The business world is tough! It's quite different from exploring the medical field. In the future, you'll need to gain some experience in this area. I'm not telling you to learn from him. There are some things you really can't do. But... with your talent, it's not impossible to try to overtake others through shortcuts." In her words, Qi Yuewei subtly set another direction for Bian Mu's development.

"I'm still in clinical trials, Miss!" Bian Mu reminded her with a smile.

"Hehe... Don't be so rigid! Think about it another way. Others might spend at least 30 years or more on clinical practice and medical theory research, while doctors like you... and Lu Yisi, might master it in five or six years. After all, times have changed! All sorts of handy tools are emerging one after another. Haven't you already connected with AI technology? Why waste so much time on clinical medicine?! Dean Zheng may seem a bit superficial, but there are plenty of more reputable and capable partners than him! Why not prepare early and be ready to overtake him at any time?!" Somewhat unexpectedly, Qi Yuewei suddenly said these words.

Suddenly, he heard the name "Lu Yisi" in his ear, and judging from his girlfriend's tone, Qi Yuewei already considered the two of them as equals?!

Lu Yisi is indeed quite capable, and Bian Mu has always admired him greatly, but... coming from Qi Yuewei's mouth in this kind of situation, it just sounds a little strange! Anyway, she doesn't feel quite comfortable with it...

"Let's talk about it later! The research and development of traditional Chinese medicine is not yet fully finalized! As for opening a hospital... it's a bit too early for now. Let's add something warmer!"

"No! I'm done eating!" Qi Yuewei's tone carried a hint of coldness.

Thinking that his temper might flare up again, Bian Mu smiled and didn't take it seriously. He lowered his head and continued eating his noodles. The portion wasn't enough, and he was too lazy to order another small bowl.
