The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Ninety-Four: Brother Chen's "Enthusiasm"

Tie Xiong walked briskly through the crowd, and soon he saw an alley, which he quickly turned into.

A figure dressed in short black clothes followed him to the alley entrance, looked inside, and suddenly froze: "Where is everyone?"

However, the figure from before was nowhere to be seen in the alley. His expression turned strange: "I clearly saw him come in!"

He walked a few more steps toward the entrance of the alley, looked around, and finally had no choice but to go back the way he came. His eyes searched through the crowd, but he could no longer find her.

Finally, he had no choice but to walk back into the teahouse, his face looking rather grim, clearly never expecting that he would lose them.

Not long after he left, Tie Xiong's figure slowly emerged from a corner of the alley, and without hesitation, quickly walked away.

……

At the stall, Mo Bai glanced at the man who had returned to sit down, seemingly casually, and felt a slight sense of relief.

Knowing that Tie Xiong had already shaken him off, he stopped paying attention to them and continued to guard his stall, waiting for business.

And so it went until sunrise, without taking on another business.

Just as he was wondering if he should call it a day, a man sauntered over from the other side: "Mr. Changqing, it's already noon, are you still busy?"

Mo Bai smiled slightly, stood up, gave a wry smile, cupped his hands and said, "Manager Wu, are you making fun of me? Your clinic has been packed with people all morning, you must be very tired."

"I was just busy with trivial matters, how could I compare to you, sir? You were busy with important things, just yesterday you made a house call for Master Chu..." Manager Wu said politely, but his eyes were carefully examining Mo Bai's face.

Seeing that he still had that pale and sickly complexion, I couldn't help but wonder. Doctor Chen said he only had one or two days to live, but it's been three days already, and this guy still doesn't seem to have changed much.

"Manager Wu, you're here for a meal, right? How about I treat you..." Mo Bai asked with a smile when he heard him mention Master Chu.

"No, no, no! How could I dare to trouble you, sir?" Manager Wu shook his head repeatedly.

"Alas, I have been planning to repay Manager Wu for calling a car for me that day, but I was really short of money the other day... I just made a house call yesterday and earned some money, so I would like to ask Manager Wu to come today!" Mo Bai said solemnly.

Originally, Manager Wu had a chance to eat for free, which he certainly wouldn't miss. However, upon hearing about Mr. Changqing's house call yesterday, he immediately felt uncomfortable and declined, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Changqing, but I'm really busy at my clinic. Another day, another day I'll treat you!"

"This..." Mo Bai was about to ask again when suddenly a voice came from not far away: "Brother Bai!"

"Hmm?" Mo Bai and Manager Wu looked back at the same time and saw a rickshaw parked right in front of He Ji Restaurant.

It turned out that Manager Chen had returned. He was carrying a wooden signboard in his hands, and was getting off the carriage with a ruddy complexion, heading towards Mo Bai's stall.

"Brother Chen, you're back now?" Mo Bai quickly cupped his hands and smiled at Manager Chen.

Manager Wu was taken aback by what he heard. He really didn't know that Mo Bai had only been here for two or three days, yet he had already become sworn brothers with Manager Chen.

"Oh, Manager Wu is here too?" Manager Chen walked over and greeted Manager Wu when he saw him.

"Manager Chen, you look radiant, is there some good news?" Manager Wu nodded with a smile and asked politely.

"Haha!" Manager Chen laughed upon hearing this, but then turned to Mo Bai and said, "Brother, take a look, are you satisfied with this signboard?"

Manager Chen held the signboard horizontally, and immediately the four large carved characters "He Ji Restaurant" appeared in front of Mo Bai and Manager Wu.

Mo Bai first looked at Manager Chen's face and saw that he was indeed full of joy, so he knew that he must have gained something from this trip.

I remember he said yesterday that he wanted to invite the boss to come. Did he succeed?

But looking at the sky, it's already this late, so it's not a good time to put up the sign.

As I was thinking these things, I heard Manager Wu beside me exclaim in amazement, "What beautiful calligraphy! What exquisite carving!"

"Brother, take a look, is it worthy of your calligraphy?" Manager Chen was even more pleased to hear Manager Wu's praise, and then asked Mo Bai.

Manager Wu was suddenly taken aback. His gaze went straight to the bottom row of small characters, and sure enough, he saw the name Changqing at the beginning. He looked up at Mo Bai with surprise in his eyes. He knew that Mo Bai had good handwriting, but he did not expect that he would write the signboard of Heji Restaurant.

For some reason, looking at the young man's calm expression, Manager Wu felt a slight unease.

Mo Bai ignored what Manager Wu thought and actually looked down to examine it closely. Then he looked up and said, "Brother Chen, this carving is no ordinary work. It must be the work of a master!"

"Brother, you have a good eye. Let me tell you, this signboard was carved by Master Liu, who is known as the best knife craftsman in Mingzhu, personally invited by the owner..." Manager Chen couldn't hide his joy.

Mo Bai was taken aback, then realized why Manager Chen was so happy.

His employer values ​​this signboard so much, isn't that a sign that values ​​this store? And if they value this store, they're paying attention to him, so naturally they're happy.

"Congratulations, Manager Chen!" Mo Bai cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's just because of you, brother. Our boss said today that he will definitely come to see you in person tomorrow..." Manager Chen said with a smile, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly glanced at Manager Wu, whose expression had changed slightly, and said, "It's perfect that you're here, Manager Wu. Our shop is getting a new name tomorrow, and we hope you'll definitely come and join us for the celebration!"

"Definitely, definitely!" Manager Wu's face stiffened slightly. He knew who the owner of He's Restaurant was, but he didn't expect that this young man would be involved with him. Instantly, he became wary.

He had offended Mo Bai deeply, so naturally he didn't want Mo Bai to be happy.

"Brother Bai, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, let's go have a couple of drinks!" Manager Chen ignored Manager Wu and turned to look at Mo Bai.

"Well, Brother Chen, I was just about to treat you to thank Manager Wu for his hospitality! You see..." Mo Bai said with a wry smile, looking at Manager Chen with some embarrassment.

"Oh, brother, are you referring to the medical consultation you gave Master Chu yesterday?" Manager Chen seemed somewhat surprised, then replied, "Of course, brother, you should thank Manager Wu. Shall we talk about it later?"

As Manager Chen spoke, his gaze swept across Manager Wu's face. Manager Wu was immediately embarrassed. Seeing how good the relationship was between the two, he could easily understand that Manager Chen had once again clashed with him over this young doctor.

But he didn't have time to get angry. Instead, his gaze suddenly swept over Mo Bai's face, which showed no sign of resentment, and a chill flashed through his heart.

This young man must have already learned everything from Manager Chen.

Yet I couldn't discern anything from his face just now, and he was so enthusiastic in inviting me to dinner. What kind of cunning is that?

"You're too kind, Mr. Changqing. It's no wonder you were able to treat Master Chu. I dare not take credit for it... I have some business to attend to at my clinic, so I'll take my leave!" Manager Wu was restless and couldn't stay any longer. He cupped his hands in a few polite words, and after his gaze swept over Mo Bai's still unchanging face one last time, he quickly turned and left.

"Hmph, shameless old geezer!" Manager Chen snorted heavily as he watched his retreating figure.

Mo Bai was speechless. He knew that Brother Chen was helping him vent his anger, but... this really left him speechless. Needless to say, Manager Wu must have become wary of him. This was not good for his goal of entering the Jishi Medical Hall!

"Brother..." Mo Bai didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head, feeling bitter.

So be it, he's just a shopkeeper, does he really think he can stop me?
