Chapter 438: Going Forward with a Bite in My Eyes
"I bought breakfast."
Lu Ya raised the bag she was carrying.
She was carrying the exact same breakfast that Bai Zhi had bought yesterday.
She just had an added touch of melancholy.
"You're up really early."
Bai Zhi said with a smile, "You should come inside quickly, I'm going to wash my face."
Although she didn't look for a job, getting up early to buy breakfast was already an improvement.
When they were in the military compound, every morning when everyone sat down to eat breakfast, Lu Ya would use the excuse of sleeping in and not being able to get up to avoid coming down to eat.
Shen Qian had just finished washing up when Lu Ya called out, "Sister Qian."
Lu Ya's diligence and enthusiasm only made Shen Qian's expression even stranger.
For so many years, whenever this young lady saw her, she would always snort arrogantly. Today was the first time she had called her Sister Qian so affectionately.
"I overheard you telling Bai Zhi last night that you're going to look for a job today?"
Hearing Shen Qian bring up this topic, Lu Ya's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Sister Qian, do you have any jobs you can recommend to me?"
It seems that Shen Qian's mother has also gone into business. Even if it's not a secure job, as long as Shen Qian is willing to recommend her, she can get a job in her mother's clothing company.
Shen Qian answered without hesitation, "No."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ya lowered her eyes and head.
Shen Qian said with concern, "It's so cold, what kind of job are you looking for? Just stay home and let your family arrange something for you after the New Year."
Lu Yaqiang straightened her back with great effort, "I don't want to rely on my family."
Shen Qian smiled.
Haha, are you sure you don't want to?
Instead of relying on her family, she's asking him to help her find a job?
"Yes, now that we're grown up, we have to support ourselves. We can't rely on our families to support us forever, and we can't let our parents arrange everything for us. That would be no different from being parasites, and it would be too unambitious."
Shen Qian looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't you think so?"
Lu Ya's face burned because of what she said.
But she still forced herself to agree, "Sister Qian, you're right."
"Keep going! I believe you will find a satisfactory job, make a name for yourself, and make your parents proud and your relatives and friends envious."
Lu Ya, "!!!"
She didn't believe she had that ability.
But Shen Qian's words inspired her fighting spirit to some extent.
After all, she was a young person herself. In the past, she was only concerned with romance and thought that her older cousins and other peers in the military compound were all confused by their studies and future prospects, and were lifeless and lacked the vitality that young people should have.
But at this moment, looking at Shen Qian, who was confident, arrogant, and spoke with great conviction, she felt increasingly inferior.
The confidence and charisma she exuded as a successful person were something she had never possessed.
The so-called radiance she exudes is all a facade created with her parents' money.
Without her parents, she was nothing.
But now that Shen Qian had put her in this position, she had to at least pretend to be decent.
"Thank you for your encouragement, Sister Qian. I will keep working hard."
As soon as Bai Zhi entered, she heard Lu Ya's spirited words.
She glanced at her with a strange expression.
"Sister-in-law, come and have breakfast."
Lu Ya handed her a fried dough stick.
"Thanks."
Shen Qian said to Bai Zhi, "Lu Ya just said that she's going to look for a job later. She'll definitely make a name for herself to show that scumbag and prove her abilities to her parents."
Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
She smiled and said, "Really? That's great."
She didn't say much and focused on eating her breakfast.
Shen Qian didn't give Lu Ya a chance to catch her breath, as if afraid that she would change her mind. She quickly finished her breakfast, wiped her mouth and urged Lu Ya, "Lu Ya, are you done eating? I want to go home, let's go together."
Lu Ya, "......."
Meeting Shen Qian's inviting gaze, Lu Ya could only reply, "Okay."
After finishing the last of her soy milk, Lu Ya stood up passively.
But before she took a step, she looked at Bai Zhi for help.
I hope Bai Zhi can stop her.
I can take her home.
"Go after you finish eating, good luck."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Ya completely gave up hope.
She could only go inside to get her scarf, wrap her head tightly, and then follow Shen Qian out the door.
It's the coldest time of the year, and after running around on the streets for several days in a row, it's really cold.
After the two of them left, Bai Zhi tidied up the table and called Ye Tiandong to ask him when he would arrive in Bincheng that day.
Fortunately, her uncle was coming over, so she could see him and have a good chat with him before she left.
Unfortunately, she didn't manage to find out Chen Lin's great-aunt's real name last night.
There's no way to find your place in this situation.
Over the phone, Ye Tiandong said he wouldn't arrive in Bincheng until the afternoon, and told Bai Zhi to go about her business and not wait for him. He said he would come directly to her house after arriving in Bincheng.
After confirming Ye Tiandong's arrival time, Bai Zhi planned to use this half-day to find someone to inquire about the name of Chen Lin's great-aunt.
She had finally found this clue, and she absolutely couldn't let it go.
Even if there's only a one percent chance, she has to try her best to verify the situation.
After much deliberation, I decided I should ask the elders about this matter.
Besides the Lu family, the Xie family was also familiar with the Chen family.
Grandpa must know what Aunt Chen Lin's name is.
And Xie Zheng's grandparents...
However, Bai Zhi still felt somewhat troubled.
Xie Zheng's parents both work in special professions and are now living in semi-anonymous circumstances, rarely returning home.
Xie Zheng's grandparents were both very conscientious elderly people who knew the confidentiality regulations better than anyone else.
Grandpa Lu is a man of principle and good judgment. If she rashly asks a question that violates confidentiality regulations, they will absolutely not tell her.
Perhaps, they might misunderstand her.
After all, she wasn't familiar with the Chen family.
After thinking it over, she decided to go home and talk to the old man.
Before going home, she went to Jishengtang to ask Doctor Zhou to make some pills for the old man.
The old man had liver problems and had been relying on traditional Chinese medicine to treat them. Now that his health has improved, he has switched to honey pills.
Take two pills daily for health benefits.
While she's at home, let's resolve the old man's medication issue first.
Bai Zhi took a bus to the bus stop next to Jishengtang, and after walking a few dozen meters, she saw the plaque of Jishengtang.
She walked over excitedly, lifted the heavy curtain, and called out loudly, "Dr. Zhou, are you still asleep?"
Dr. Zhou, who was dozing off, was so startled by the sudden noise that he almost bumped his head on the table.
He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Bai Zhi standing in front of him; his eyes suddenly cleared.
"Dr. Bai, what brings you here?"
"Just passing by, so I came in to take a look."
Bai Zhi looked around the shabby pharmacy, then at the listless Doctor Zhou, and rolled her eyes.
She sighed, "What's going on, Comrade Zhou? It's only been a short time, how come Jishengtang is so deserted and desolate again?"
"It proves that there are no diseases in the world." Doctor Zhou chuckled. "At least the people on our street are happy and healthy, free from illness and disaster. Isn't that great?"
Bai Zhi, "..."
What else could she say?
She took out a prescription she had written at home from her pocket, placed it in front of Doctor Zhou, and said, "Get the medicine according to this prescription, make it into honey pills, and I'll come back to pick them up in a couple of days."
Doctor Zhou finally got to work. He immediately got up, took the prescription, glanced at it, and cheerfully replied, "Okay!"
He put the prescription on the medicine cabinet and asked Bai Zhi, "Dr. Bai, when will the work at the hospital end?"
“It’s over,” Bai Zhi replied.
Upon hearing her words, Dr. Zhou's eyes brightened even more, and he looked at her with a smile, full of anticipation, "Then could I invite you to continue seeing patients at Jishengtang?"
