Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen shook his head: "My time is quite tight, and I can't possibly spend that much time seeing patients every day. Hiring someone wouldn't make sense either, so the clinic thing didn't go through with!"

Li Wenlong's eyes brightened: "Master, if you don't have time, you can let me see patients. I can also take pulses and prescribe medicine!"

Ye Chen had no doubt about Li Wenlong's medical skills.

Becoming the head of the acupuncture department is no easy feat, and that doesn't mean he only knows acupuncture.

He should know some basic TCM procedures.

There was absolutely no problem with the doctor on duty.

Seeing Li Wenlong's serious expression, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious? You should know that the workload at a clinic is no less than at a hospital, and the income isn't as stable. You might feel quite disappointed!"

Li Wenlong nodded seriously: "Master, I'm serious. There are too many rules and regulations in hospital work. I feel like I'm becoming a tool."

"I never had the courage to go solo before, but this time it felt like fate had ordained it, making the most difficult decision for me!"

"I've thought a lot these past two days, repeatedly asking myself, 'If I can't go back to work at the hospital, what can I do?'"

"My answer has always been the same: to open my own small clinic. Anyway, my daughter has been admitted to university, so the pressure isn't too great!"

"I also worked in a clinic for a few years in my early years, and I still miss those days when I wasn't bound by rules and regulations."

"I spent the first half of my life living for a paycheck; for the second half, I want to be myself again!"

"However, opening a clinic is quite complicated, and I don't have the boldness to be a boss. If Master really plans to open a clinic, I'd like to work with him!"

Li Wenlong spoke very seriously; it didn't sound like he was joking at all.

Ye Chen pondered for a while before finally speaking: "Think about it calmly today. If you still have this decision tomorrow, then we'll put opening the clinic on the agenda!"

Li Wenlong became excited upon hearing Ye Chen's words: "Master, are you telling the truth!"

Ye Chen nodded: "You need to think this through first. If you really open a clinic, I might just be a hands-off manager. At most, I'll hire a nurse for you."

Li Wenlong excitedly said, "I've been mentally prepared for this for a long time. All I needed was a trigger. I think I don't need to consider it anymore!"

Ye Chen was also waiting for an unknown opportunity to open a clinic.

Now that Li Wenlong has brought this up himself, he thinks it's feasible and can be put on the agenda.

Ye Chen has no shortage of funds and connections, so opening a clinic is a piece of cake for him. The difficulty lies in running it.

He didn't have that much time to spend on the clinic's daily operations.

Now that this problem has been solved, opening a clinic is a natural thing to do.

Ye Chen still approved of Li Wenlong's character, and even after handing over the clinic to him, Ye Chen was still at ease.

Of course, it's up to Li Wenlong to make the decision.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'll give you a day to think it over, but I'm afraid you'll make an impulsive decision!"

"Alright, we can talk about this tomorrow. Since we have nothing to do today, I'll teach you some acupuncture techniques. Since you've become my apprentice, I should at least live up to that title!"

Upon hearing that Ye Chen was about to give a lecture, Li Wenlong immediately stood up with utmost respect!

At the same time, he was also very excited, and bowed deeply to Ye Chen: "Master, this way to the study!"

On this day, Ye Chen formally taught Li Wenlong the Nine Forms of Mysterious Needle Technique.

This was also to make it easier for him to benefit more people and to ensure that the Nine Styles of Xuanzhen are passed down in this world.

Li Wenlong was the director of the acupuncture department, and his acupuncture skills were excellent. Although he wasn't at the top level, he was still considered a master.

People with a solid foundation like this are much easier for Ye Chen to teach them.

Li Wenlong could grasp some concepts with just a little understanding, which made Ye Chen, the teacher, feel relaxed.

Of course, it is probably also related to Li Wenlong's comprehension.

The exquisite techniques of the Nine Forms of Mysterious Needles seemed to open a door to a new world for Li Wenlong.

Li Wenlong listened with great excitement and seriousness, even more attentive than a primary school student.

In the evening, Ye Chen finished his day of teaching.

Li Wenlong bowed deeply to Ye Chen once again!

Ye Chen had gotten used to Li Wenlong's tedious etiquette.

These days, having such a reliable and easy-going disciple is like finding a treasure.

Ye Chen went straight back to Longjin Residential Area and found Dongzi. He told him about opening a clinic and asked if he wanted to invest together.

Normally, people avoid having business partners if possible.

Because when interests are involved, partners can easily turn against each other, and then you can't even be friends anymore.

There are plenty of ready-made examples of this online!

However, opening a clinic is quite different from running a business. Ye Chen doesn't lack funds and doesn't care about such things.

He didn't open the clinic with the intention of making a lot of money.

Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume he has the ability to control the overall situation and the ability to cover up the fallback, everything else can be ignored.

It's no big deal to help Dongzi out; he still trusts his judgment of people.

If the clinic can actually be set up, it would be a source of income.

Dongzi from the province really did go and become a security guard.

Of course, this also depends on whether Dongzi has the willingness to invest.

If Dongzi isn't interested, Ye Chen won't force him. He's given the opportunity, and the choice is up to him.

As a result, Dongzi agreed without hesitation when he heard that Ye Chen wanted to open a clinic.

"Damn, Brother Chen, since you're going to give your buddies a hand, how can I refuse? I'll put up 20!"

Dongzi spoke very decisively.

Ye Chen blinked; he knew that 20 was all the money Dongzi could come up with.

"So direct? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?" Ye Chen said casually.

"Hey, what's the big deal? It's just 20. If I lose it, I lose it. Consider it my support for your business. You've already saved me millions for the villa, what's a little money like this!" Dongzi waved his hand dismissively.

"Besides, if your clinic opens, wouldn't that mean my investment has been successful? What investment doesn't involve risk? Come on, I'll transfer the money to you right away!"

As Dongzi spoke, he immediately took out his phone.

Ye Chen's face darkened: "One thing at a time, please be serious, this is a legitimate project!"

"I'm very serious!" Dongzi said with an air of utter indifference.

"In that case, I think it's better to clarify some things beforehand, so as to avoid an awkward situation later!" Ye Chen looked at Dongzi.

Dongzi looked at Ye Chen with a serious expression: "Brother Chen, whatever you say, I'll listen to!"

Ye Chen slowly said, "I will hand over the clinic to my apprentice. You cannot interfere with the daily operations, and you can only enjoy the rights to the year-end bonus. I can't guarantee whether it will be profitable or not, after all, I didn't open the clinic to make money!"

"Even if I wanted to get involved, I wouldn't know how. Just do as you say. As for the profit sharing, you can decide what to give. I'll accept any losses!" Dongzi said solemnly.
