"President John..."

"Dr. Li, please just call me George."

"George," Li Chu said, pointing to the medicine on the table, "I believe you understand the importance of strictly following doctor's orders."

"Of course, I won't deviate from your medical advice."

“Very good, I hope I can hear some good news in the next few days.”

"Uh... Dr. Li, I will try my best."

After George and his group left, Li Wenxuan immediately came over.

"Dad, did you add some useless medicine to the medicine?"

You figured it out?

This was truly an unexpected surprise; the fact that Li Wenxuan could recognize it shows that his understanding of medicinal properties has reached another level.

"Hehe, I can only tell that three of the ingredients are useless, and I can't tell the rest, but I feel that the combination of some of the ingredients is a bit strange."

"Teacher, senior brother, what do you mean? Are there any useless medicines in the prescription?"

Duan Jianing and Liu Ziqiang were completely confused.

"Oh, junior brother and sister, it's like this..." Li Wenxuan explained to them.

“You don’t need to consider this right now, because your understanding of the medicinal properties is far from sufficient, and it might backfire.”

After Wenxuan finished explaining, Li Chu looked at the three of them and gave them some instructions.

"Yes, teacher, we've got it."

Then he rewrote the prescription he had just written and explained it to them.

Looking at the useless medications their teacher had drawn up, the three of them didn't know what to say.

There are more useless things than medicine, is that even acceptable?

"Alright, just learn about it. These things are still far from you right now. What you need to do is understand the properties of the medicines and the relationships between them. Only when you have mastered these things can you consider other things."

"Yes, teacher."

"Director, your friend Xu Damao is here. I told him to wait outside." At this moment, Liu Dazhuang, who had just gone out, walked up to Li Chu and said softly.

He nodded, then said to Li Wenxuan and the other two, "Alright, you guys continue seeing patients and keeping records. I have something to do."

Outside the clinic, Xu Damao was lounging on a bench, watching the diverse crowd in the corridor.

In less than ten minutes, he saw two groups of patients' family members weeping bitterly, and it was obvious why.

Sigh, he had just sighed when he heard someone talking to him beside him.

"Why are you sighing? What life lesson have you learned?"

"Brother Chu, you're done with your work. What could I possibly be thinking about? I just saw two groups of people crying their eyes out." Xu Damao hurriedly stood up from his chair when he saw Li Chu come out.

Li Chu glanced at the consultation rooms in the surgery and internal medicine departments and shook his head: "Let's go, let's talk outside."

The Fairy Tree Romance

I came to the outside of the outpatient building through a side door, but instead of going to the office building, I found a place where the sun wouldn't shine on me.

"Speak, what brings you here today?"

"Brother Chu, I wanted to ask if you can still find someone here to exchange US dollars?"

"What? Why are you exchanging so many US dollars? And who wants to go abroad?" Li Chu was taken aback and asked with some curiosity.

His second son had already left home, and he helped find quite a few replacements for him back then.

“Nobody wants to go abroad. Last night, Jiye called to say he was out of money and wanted us to send him some more.”

Xu Damao said calmly.

He couldn't help but feel unsettled, since it wasn't his money being spent. All the expenses for his second son's overseas studies were covered by Lou's father.

When it was suggested that Jiye go abroad to study, Xu Damao disagreed, partly because it was too expensive, and partly because his surname was Lou, not Xu.

Finally, Lou's father patted his chest and said that he would cover all of Jiye's expenses, and only then did Xu Damao agree.

His meager savings can't withstand the financial strain of studying abroad, especially since he has a son and a daughter. Even if his daughter can give him less in the future, he still has to consider his eldest son's feelings.

Now that his father-in-law is willing to take full responsibility, he certainly won't be the bad guy anymore.

However, Lou's father probably didn't expect the expense to be so large, almost emptying his savings in one go.

It's only been a short time, and the several thousand yuan in living expenses I was given back then is gone. Who can withstand this?

Come to think of it, it would be strange if someone who earns money in the country and becomes the beautiful national flower didn't lack money.

"Hehe, can your father-in-law still keep this up?" Li Chu asked with a smile.

Xu Damao also laughed: "I think the old man is in trouble. He'll definitely be fine this time, but what if it happens a few more times? I don't know exactly how much of his old strength he has left, but he definitely can't withstand this kind of torment."

What will you do if I really lose you?

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao felt a sharp pain in his teeth. He had considered this issue before, but he simply couldn't come up with an answer.

It's not right to just stand by and watch the second son do nothing; he's still my son, after all.

He's really reluctant to pay for it, since he was against it in the first place.

"Brother Chu, I don't know what to do either." Xu Damao said irritably as he pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one for himself.

"Hehe, you guys think studying abroad is too simple. How much are the prices there? How much are they here? How much do foreigners earn in a month? How much do we earn in a month? Even if the expenses are three hundred US dollars a month, do the math and see how much you need to earn in China."

Xu Damao had calculated this before, but what good would it do to do so?

“Da Mao, you still need to talk to your father-in-law. You can’t just give Ji Ye money whenever he asks for it. Do you know what he’s actually doing with the money over there? Once he develops a habit of spending money recklessly, you won’t be able to control him even if you want to. When he runs out of money, do you think he might come up with some crooked ideas?”

Sigh, Xu Damao sighed again. This time, it wasn't because he had any insights, but simply because he was worried.

"Brother Chu, do you have any good ideas?"

"What good ideas do I have? I've never been abroad, I've only talked to some foreigners before. But I heard from them that you can apply for work-study programs at school. I don't know the specifics, but you can contact Jiye and have him ask at the school. That way, he can at least earn some money to support himself each month, and at the same time, it can stop him from going out and spending money recklessly when he's bored."

Xu Damao nodded: "I'll let him know when I send the money."

"You also need to talk to your father-in-law about it."

"Definitely. Anyway, I think the old man is in a bit of a dilemma now. When he asked me to find a way to exchange the money today, he was really heartbroken!"
