Lan Yu glanced at the work permit and laughed, "Oh my, this is incredible—this is a formal job in Beijing!"

Qiao Tianyue clutched the work ID in her hand and then to her heart, feeling her body go weak.

This shock was even greater than learning that she was the Qi family's long-lost daughter! It excited her even more!

After all, returning to the Qi family would mean living off others, but having a proper job in Beijing would make her an independent person!

At this moment, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Su Ruyi was no longer just gratitude, but a deep and heartfelt reverence: "Dr. Su, I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. Rest assured, I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life! If I can't repay it in this life, I'll repay it in the next..."

Lan Yu quickly interrupted her: "Girl, watch your words! Don't make wild accusations!"

Qiao Tianyue stopped talking, her eyes filled with hot tears that were about to roll down her cheeks.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Su Ruyi laughed and said, "Alright, enough talk, come back with me—I brought three friends from Heilongjiang Province this time, and they're all waiting to meet you!"

The Huichuntang branch of Beijing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine opened on a Sunday in late autumn or early winter.

After the two strings of firecrackers went off, countless neighbors were drawn over.

They read the notice posted on the door—

The Huichuntang branch of Beijing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine officially opened today.

Dr. Su Ruyi, a disciple of Jin Dachun, a renowned doctor in Heilongjiang Province, and a direct descendant of Su Qiushi, a renowned doctor in Haicheng, is available for consultation.

For the next seven days starting today, all medical consultation fees will be waived and medication costs will be halved.

Everyone peeked out from the doorway, looking around curiously.

Inside is a newly renovated consultation room.

Not only were the wainscoting painted a clean and bright blue-green, but a large, floor-to-ceiling medicine cabinet was also installed.

The medicine cabinet was freshly painted white, and the handwritten medicine labels on it were Lan Yu's handwriting—you should know that Lan Yu's calligraphy is priceless!

Looking at the brand-new consultation room and then at the young-looking doctor inside, the neighbors just peeked in curiously, but no one was willing to be the first to go in.

Just then, Qi Yasheng arrived with a group of students!

The students shouted and yelled:

"Wow, this is the Huichuntang branch where the famous doctor Su Ruyi from Heilongjiang Province practices?"

"Great, it's finally open."

An older woman from the neighborhood stopped a few students: "Young men, is this doctor very famous? She looks like a young girl to me."

The student laughed and said, "Auntie, you're mistaken. You can't judge a book by its cover! This Dr. Su is a direct descendant of Su Qiushi, a famous doctor in Haicheng!"

"What diseases can he cure?"

The student exclaimed, "Let me put it this way—except for the fact that she can't bring the dead back to life or heal flesh and bones, Dr. Su can cure all other illnesses. That's why I asked her to treat my arm!"

It was only then that everyone noticed that the student had one arm in a sling.

After the student went inside, everyone gathered at the door and saw Su Ruyi, who quickly put the student's arm back in place.

Then another student went in.

The student stood at the door and looked around at the crowd of onlookers.

Everyone immediately noticed that he was slightly crooked in the mouth and eyes, which was clearly a symptom of a minor stroke.

Su Ruyi exclaimed, "You have facial paralysis? It's okay, I'll give you a few acupuncture needles and you'll be fine!"

As he spoke, he led the students behind the screen.

A dozen minutes later, everyone saw the student walk out, his eyebrows and eyes now perfectly straight, without a trace of crookedness.

He smiled at everyone, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

He spoke a few words, and his pronunciation was clear.

The older women then realized what was going on and began to line up eagerly.

—Actually, the students with broken arms and facial paralysis were all arranged by Qi Yasheng; he really went all out.

The student in the arm had genuinely had the incision removed, but the symptoms of the mini-stroke were completely faked.

The students who came to support the event all had a dollar in their pockets as a token of their appreciation.

If the older women don't go in, he has other tricks up his sleeve.

However, the clinic is now packed with middle-aged women.

So he stepped forward and began to maintain order: "Line up! Line up! You'll all get to see it, don't worry!"

The Huichuntang branch of Beijing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was thus established and became an instant success.

That evening, Su Ruyi was busy until after 9 p.m. before she finished seeing the last patient.

Moreover, all the medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet and the reserve herbs in the warehouse were sold out.

Of the money from selling these medicines, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital collects 90%, leaving only 10% for Su Ruyi, the branch director, to freely dispose of.

Jin Xingqiu spent a long time calculating with pen and paper, then looked up and said, "Ruyi! After deducting the portion to be handed over to the government and the cost of the warehouse, we made 185 yuan from selling medicine today!"

Su Ruyi was organizing medical records—she had created a medical record for each patient who came to Huichuntang for the first time, and was now sorting the records alphabetically by name for easy retrieval in the future.

Hearing Jin Xingqiu's words, she looked up, frowned, and said, "This is not a good thing!"

Jin Xingqiu was still immersed in joy: "Ruyi, we're rich now! Think about it, today is the first day. Even if we only sell 100 yuan worth of medicine every day, that's 3,000 yuan a month! 3,000 yuan! Those expensive medicinal herbs that the main hospital is withholding from you, can't we buy them ourselves? You're the branch director, you have purchasing authority!"

As Chu Liang'an swept the floor, he sighed, "A tall tree is bound to attract the wind!"

Song Wenyu didn't seem to care much: "The main hospital has already taken 90%, aren't they satisfied? Besides, the consultation fee is waived and the medicine is half price! In the future, earning two hundred yuan a day is possible!"

Chu Liang'an said worriedly, "The young Comrade Dou that the General Hospital sent to help us today, he said he was here to help, but I saw him holding a little notebook and writing something down the whole time—he's just a spy!"

Hearing what everyone said, Jin Xingqiu was a little incredulous: "But... this is a good thing for us, to generate revenue for them and increase their fame!"

Chu Liang'an said, "We're new here, and we're outsiders. We're using someone else's name, so no matter what we do, we'll end up pleasing neither side!"

“Yes!” Su Ruyi interjected.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about too much."

If we fail to achieve results, we will inevitably be suppressed and swallowed up by them!

If we achieve something, it will be like what my second brother said—the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it, and we will become the target of people's resentment.

But for now, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and keep going!

On the one hand, all records must be kept in good condition; not a single word can be omitted from the written records.

If I'm not mistaken—within the first week of opening, the main hospital will likely cause trouble.

Everyone's expression tightened!

The main hospital has administrative jurisdiction over the branch hospitals. If they want to cause trouble, there is no way to defend against them!
