Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2299 A Good Ending and a Good Breakup
Master Geng was the kind of person who knew when to advance and retreat, and seeing this, he got up, exchanged a few polite words with the two men, and drove the van back home.

"Master Geng recovered a bit too quickly, didn't he? Is there some trick to it?" Dian Shuhua suddenly asked.

No wonder he wasn't in a hurry to go back to the clinic.

“Nothing can be hidden from you! Master Geng’s maternal grandparents’ family is somewhat… well, they’re not an ordinary family. Their genetic makeup is rather special. When I took his pulse, I felt like there was something extra around his ‘Qi Hai’ point. At first, considering how carefree he usually is, I was worried that something had grown there. But then I discovered that there was some subtle energy there.” Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Oh... I don't understand. Does it mean... his maternal grandmother's family is a martial arts family?!" Dian Shuhua quickly asked.

"It's actually quite possible. How should I put it... Let me give you an analogy! Compared to ordinary people, he has an extra battery near his Qi Hai acupoint, like the 3V button battery on a desktop motherboard. I usually call it micro-energy. Theoretically speaking, at least three generations of his ancestors were masters of martial arts, Taoism, Zen meditation, etc. Otherwise, they simply couldn't accumulate this kind of micro-energy in their bodies. When those kinds of people encounter something unpleasant, it directly leads to a severe depletion of their vital energy. Hey! At this time, that micro-energy is immediately activated, just like... Yes! The motherboard BIOS is destroyed, the main power is unplugged, and the motherboard's own power is used to refresh the BIOS, and the entire hardware and software system is fully revived!" Bian Mu said with a smile, giving an analogy.

"Oh, I see! No wonder... your complexion is getting better and better. The rest of us are far behind you in this area. We'll have to learn from you properly when we have time in the future!"

“There’s plenty of time! No rush. Luo Zhanqi has had a tough time too, let him be! By the way, judging from this situation, he’s definitely going to resign. Once he leaves… your profits will plummet! During the holiday, let’s all keep an eye out and hire another therapist!”

"Alright! I'll do whatever you say!"

"It's getting late, I'll drive you home!" With that, Bian Mu went upstairs to change his clothes, locked the door, and drove Dian Shuhua back to the clinic.

……

Around 10 p.m., guessing that the forest ranger, Old Liang, was still awake, Bian Mu called the old man and briefly explained Luo Zhanqi's situation.

"Hehe...it was bound to happen sooner or later, no big deal! He's got that...strong sense of pride deep down. In the end, he just doesn't want to face Dr. Gong. Even though we don't see each other often, we still live under the same roof. That lingering worry in his heart hasn't gone away. Sigh! He's not young anymore. If he doesn't become independent soon, it will be even harder for him to take this step in the future! As for Cao Xiuyi, I guess you've already figured out some of her secrets, so she's just playing her cards right now and undermining you! They hit it off immediately. The rent and stuff are just a pretext. Let me tell you! That 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Village' over at the film studio is not simple at all. If Xiao Luo really wants to open a clinic there, the landlord will most likely be Cao Xiuyi!" It was clear from the phone call that the old man knew quite a lot.

"So that's how it is! Well... we need to find one or two more therapists quickly, right?" Bian Mu said with a laugh over the phone.

"No rush! Before New Year's Eve, I reckon someone will contact you. At that time, you might as well ask them to provide the personal information of a few decent physiotherapists, and choose one or two to tide you over. It would be a great help. The contract term shouldn't be too long, a one-year contract would be better first." Old Liang suddenly said these words on the phone.

Bian Mu was deeply surprised and realized that the old men had always been so concerned about him. He was touched and didn't know what to say.

"Don't even mention Xiao Luo. People are always trying to steal Xiao Ye's boyfriend. She's in high demand now. Of course, some of them are also trying to sabotage you. But... in the long run, your relationship with her is probably coming to an end. It's best to let things take their course!"

Although she was somewhat prepared, hearing Grandpa Liang say it directly on the other end of the phone still made Bian Mu's heart skip a beat. She felt empty, even a bit like a building about to collapse. "Out with the old, in with the new! In the long run, it's all normal. Compared to Lao Nie and the others back then, you're already quite lucky! To be honest, Luo Zhanqi, Xiao Ye, and that Xiao Gong all belong to the old system. You're different, in the brand new medical system. You get along well normally because there's still room for compromise. But once a suitable opportunity presents itself, they'll definitely not hesitate to plan for themselves. These past two years have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it's gone forever. It's no big deal! It won't do us any harm to let them have their way. Don't say anything, just let nature take its course! Besides, the world is vast. Upgrade when it needs to, recruit when it needs to, go all out and do your best! What's the big deal?"

"After hearing what you said, I feel much more at ease."

"Your path was too smooth a while ago! It's best for everyone that they left quietly like this. They can still be good friends when they meet again in the future. Really, you'll understand in time."

"Okay! I'll do as you say! Let's end this amicably!"

"You have to go back to your hometown for the New Year, right? Get some good medicinal herbs and prepare some good medicine for them. When you leave, be generous. They will remember you well for the rest of their lives!" Old Liang gave a few earnest instructions over the phone.

"Okay! I won't bother you any longer then, goodnight!"

"I've been working hard all year. I'm taking advantage of the holiday to clear my mind. It's not good to keep my nerves on edge."

"Okay! I'll hang up now!" With that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.

……

Surprisingly, the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Lijin City was the first to close for the holiday, and its holiday was even a few days longer than other physical clinics. For a time, people had all sorts of opinions.

Bian Yue is a little more sensible now. She brought a lot of gifts home to help her parents prepare for the New Year. I heard that she also brought several close classmates home, some from the same department and some from other majors. Bian's mother suspected that the most handsome boy among them might be Yue's boyfriend. She called Bian Mu several times to ask for confirmation. Bian Mu claimed that she didn't know anything and told her mother not to guess. She said that Yue is smart and that they should let them date for a while first.

With his younger sister at home keeping him company, Bian Mu wasn't in a hurry to go home to prepare for the New Year. Besides, he definitely had to go to Mrs. Mai's place; there were many important matters to discuss.

That morning, right after breakfast, Bian Mu's phone rang.

Unfamiliar number, local resident, old number.

Bian Mu answered the call casually. The other party claimed to be the director of a hospital and wanted to meet with Bian Mu to discuss some matters.

Did what Old Liang, the forest ranger, warned us about really come true?!
During the phone call, the two barely exchanged a few words before the male hospital director suggested discussing with Bian Mu the possibility of transforming their hospital into a high-quality medical and elderly care center, in which Bian Mu would play a significant role.
