Chapter 115 Taking on an apprentice is a nightmare.

Jiang Zhicheng found it strange that Chi Shaokang looked so distressed.

"What's this? Why do you look like you're in pain?"

With Chi Shaokang's status, what good things hasn't he seen?

It's not like you're in such pain just because you're sending something away.

Even he looked pained; what kind of good stuff could this be?

"This is some medicinal wine I made myself when I had nothing else to do. It's just the right amount to drink, so I brought you a jar. It's nothing special," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

Jiang Zhicheng clicked his tongue and said with dissatisfaction, "You can't even bear to give me a jar of medicinal wine that Xiao Huan brewed herself? Chi Shaokang, how stingy can you be!"

Chi Shaokang rolled his eyes: "Heh, so what if I'm stingy? If you don't care, give me back the wine, and I'll buy you another case of Moutai in exchange, how about we trade?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhicheng narrowed his eyes: "Old Chi, judging from your attitude, this jar of wine must be something good."

As he spoke, he asked Xia Yuhuan, "Apprentice, what did you use to make this wine? Tell me."

Xia Yu said with a smile, "It's made with a nourishing and blood-tonifying herbal formula. The main ingredient is ginseng rootlets. The taste should be pretty good. Anyway, my dad likes it."

As the vice president, Jiang Zhicheng had seen plenty of good things, including ginseng that was over a hundred years old, let alone just ginseng rootlets.

So he really didn't think this jar of wine was that valuable.

However, he knew that Chi Shaokang was definitely not the kind of person who spoke without reason. If it weren't something good, Chi Shaokang wouldn't feel this pain and reluctance to part with it.

Jiang Zhicheng chuckled and said, "Then we'll drink this wine with dinner later. I'd like to try it and see just how good it is."

Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang's eyes lit up immediately. "Really? You're really going to drink this later? No backing out!"

Jiang Zhicheng rolled his eyes at him. "Heh, do you think I'm some kind of liar who goes back on his word? If I say I'll drink this wine, I'll drink this wine, and I won't go back on my word."

Chi Shaokang was overjoyed and hurried to look at Xia Yuhuan: "Xiaohuan, Lao Jiang is treating, so I can have a drink, right?"

Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "You can drink a little, just don't overindulge."

"Hehe, then I'll wait and see." Chi Shaokang rubbed his hands together with a smile, looking expectant.

Seeing his behavior, Jiang Zhicheng thought he was just being mysterious and felt extremely disdainful.

After the three of them talked for a while, the people Jiang Zhicheng had invited arrived one after another.

The people who came were all Jiang Zhicheng's close confidants, friends, and colleagues.

There weren't many people, less than ten, and they could squeeze in at a large round table.

"Old friends, this is the person I want to introduce to you, my apprentice, a medical genius. Her talent is unprecedented. I think it won't be long before her medical skills surpass mine."

“Strictly speaking, I benefited from her taking her as my apprentice.”

Jiang Zhicheng introduced Xia Yuhuan with a smile, speaking with great seriousness and elevating her status significantly.

Upon hearing this, the guests looked at Xia Yuhuan with surprise, their eyes full of curiosity and scrutiny.

Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "Uncles and elders, don't listen to my teacher's nonsense. He's exaggerating. I'm not that amazing."

Those who can walk with Jiang Zhicheng must be of good character, so they all smiled kindly upon hearing this.

Sun Xiangqian, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Xiao Huan, don't be modest. You are indeed exceptionally talented. You have no idea how envious I am of my junior brother for discovering such a prodigy as you."

If he had met Xia Yuhuan first, he would definitely have tried his best to take her as his disciple.

Xia Yuhuan smiled shyly upon hearing this.

She truly possesses extraordinary talent in medicine, a quality that has remained unchanged throughout her two lifetimes.

Moreover, she has a photographic memory, which is amazing, so she learns things quickly and well.

Of course, the most important factor is her diligence and hard work.

With these buffs, her diligence and hard work directly opened up a path for her in the ladder, allowing her to progress extremely quickly.

Jiang Zhicheng, who was standing to the side, was very pleased to hear Sun Xiangqian say that he envied him.

"Hehe, I'm not as good as my senior brother in terms of medical skills, but I'm luckier than him. Look at me, I've taken on such a precious disciple. His talent and hard work... hehe, he'll crush so many young people!"

"Senior brother, those three little apprentices of yours, it seems they caused you some minor trouble a few days ago, right?" Jiang Zhicheng said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Faced with Jiang Zhicheng's attitude, even the usually refined and upright Sun Xiangqian couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Treating patients, managing the hospital, and handling miscellaneous matters are all things he can easily handle and have no problem with.

But the matter of taking on apprentices was a major headache for him.

He'd rather perform a few more surgeries himself than face his three foolish apprentices.

The key point is that, in his youth, he didn't realize the benefits of not taking on apprentices, and was instead eagerly accepted as one by his idol.

Now he hopes every day that those three brats won't cause him any trouble, and that he won't have to clean up their messes.

"Teacher, please say less." Xia Yuhuan saw that Jiang Zhicheng was so smug that he was about to annoy the good-tempered Sun Xiangqian, so she quickly reached out and pulled him, looking helpless.

Jiang Zhicheng realized that he had gone too far by jumping around in his senior brother's minefield, so he quickly raised his hand to rub his cheeks, which were sore from laughing, and coughed lightly.

"I'm not going to say anything more, senior brother, let's have a drink."

"This wine was brewed by my apprentice himself. He specially brought it to me as a gift. When Old Jiang first gave it to me, he was reluctant to part with it."

"Let's try it and see what it tastes like," Jiang Zhicheng said with a smile.

Sun Xiangqian smiled and agreed.

Jiang Zhicheng invited everyone to toast together, and everyone congratulated him on gaining a beloved disciple, making Jiang Zhicheng so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

He happily downed the wine in his glass, the rich aroma filling his mouth making his eyes light up.

As the wine went down his throat, a gentle warmth slowly emanated from it, which pleased him greatly.

"This wine...it's excellent! Xiao Huan, I didn't realize you had this skill. You can even brew wine so well!" Jiang Zhicheng looked at Xia Yuhuan in astonishment.

Xia Yuhuan smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards: "It's just something I brewed haphazardly. I'm glad Master likes it."

Just kidding, how could medicinal wine brewed with spiritual spring water and a tonic prescription be bad?

She wouldn't comment on the taste, but if she kept drinking it, the health benefits would definitely be good.

Jiang Zhicheng nodded happily: "I like it, it tastes good, this wine is really good."

Chi Shaokang, who was standing to the side, was shrewd. After finishing his cup, he poured himself another cup while the aftertaste was still sweet.

Sun Xiangqian was sitting next to Chi Shaokang. Seeing this, he silently pushed his cup towards Chi Shaokang.

"Old Chi, thank you for your trouble," Sun Xiangqian said gently.

Chi Shaokang glanced at him with a smile and silently poured him a glass as well.

He thought to himself: Hey, that old Jiang didn't know what was good for him. He'll regret it now!

Everyone present was knowledgeable and discerning; after just one glass of wine, they could all appreciate its merits and asked for another.

"Okay, there's enough. Old Jiang said there's plenty of wine today, so everyone can just drink."

As he spoke, he decisively handed the wine jar in his hand to the person next to him, letting him pour it himself.

"Everyone pour it yourselves, take turns," Chi Shaokang said with a smile.

Jiang Zhicheng stared at him, his face stiff: When did he ever say that there would be plenty of alcohol? That scoundrel Chi Shaokang deliberately framed him!
