Chapter 83: How Many Brothers Does Bai Zhi Actually Have?
After Bai Zhi left, Dr. Li looked at Lu Ye with an embarrassed expression, "Company Commander Lu, I knew that doing it this way would definitely not work. Dr. Bai isn't that stupid."
That wasn't your average country girl; she was incredibly smart.
Besides, their performance just now was so fake that even they themselves felt guilty.
I really don't understand how Company Commander Lu could make such a basic mistake.
I've heard Mr. Lu complain that Company Commander Lu is a blockhead and has never been in a relationship.
Now it's clear that he really has no talent for romance.
With Bai Zhi gone, Dr. Li could only perform moxibustion on Lu Ye.
Lu Ye rested his arms behind his head, his eyes deep and unfocused, lost in thought.
Dr. Li and Dr. Yang didn't disturb him. After the treatment, they left, tactfully leaving him undisturbed.
Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
I got out of bed and opened the closet to look for clothes.
Bai Zhi stopped by a public phone at a store on her way to work and called Ye Tiandong to ask if he had brought the medicinal herbs on the long-distance bus.
Ye Tiandong said on the phone that he had already handed it over to the driver. Because he couldn't contact Bai Zhi, he couldn't notify her in time. He asked her to pick up the medicinal herbs at the long-distance bus station at 2 p.m.
Bai Zhi happily expressed her gratitude to Ye Tiandong.
After making the call, she went to the bank to deposit money.
Before her uncle left, he gave her 1,000 yuan. Today, Lu Ye paid 2,000 yuan for the medical treatment, making a total of 3,000 yuan. It was not safe for her to carry the money with her. She had kept the money her uncle had given her in her room.
Lu Ye's treatment is about to end, and she plans to leave Nancheng. She definitely needs to save this money.
After depositing the money and looking at the numbers on the bankbook, Bai Zhi instantly felt a sense of security.
This is the first time I've felt this way since my rebirth.
I always feel anxious when I don't have any money.
There's no need to panic for now.
She carefully packed it away and went to work humming a song.
Today, Dr. Zhou was living his usual monotonous life, dozing off while flipping through an old novel he had already finished reading.
Bai Zhi hummed a song as she came in, seemingly adding a touch of life to this dull life. He closed his book and watched the girl tidying up the medicine cabinet in a good mood. Doctor Zhou's drowsiness dissipated by half.
"Xiao Bai, I think you should come to work earlier in the future."
Starting work at 10 am is too late.
Bai Zhi usually opens for work at eight o'clock, but now he's two hours late. He's so bored by himself that he has to take a nap for two hours.
He's read all the good novels.
No patients came in for treatment.
How incredibly boring.
"Dr. Zhou, I might..."
"First of all, thank you very much for your understanding and care during this time."
"What do you mean?" Dr. Zhou lifted his eyelids and looked at her, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into his heart.
A thank you is never a good thing.
really......
"I'm planning to resign."
Bai Zhi said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making this decision so suddenly. If you need to hire people, you can post the job posting now. I'll work for two more days and try to wait until you find someone. That being said, Bai Zhi thinks that Dr. Zhou's Jishengtang doesn't really need apprentices to dispense medicine."
As long as Dr. Zhou is a little more diligent, he can manage the workload.
After all, they can only see a few patients a day.
"Why did you suddenly resign? Did you think the salary was too low?" Dr. Zhou glanced at her and asked casually.
"Dr. Zhou, you're joking. The salary you pay me is the highest among all the apprentices in the pharmacies of the entire South City."
"I'm going to find my grandfather." Bai Zhi explained earnestly, "I sent him a letter, but I haven't received a reply yet. I'm worried about his safety, so I want to go and see him."
Although her grandfather was a doctor, he was getting on in years. She wrote to him using the address from her previous life, but received no reply, which made her worried.
She didn't know where the letter she wrote to the old man was mailed, or whether the old man received it.
Dr. Zhou said, "You can take leave to go find your grandfather. Once you find him, you can come back to work."
Bai Zhi chuckled, her tone troubled, "Dr. Zhou, my maternal grandfather owns a Chinese medicine shop. Once I find him, I'll definitely have to work for him."
Upon hearing her words, Dr. Zhou finally gave up on trying to persuade her to stay. He waved his hand, said nothing more, and continued reading his book.
Bai Zhi sensed that Doctor Zhou seemed very angry. She wanted to explain further, but the words stuck in her throat.
It seems pointless to say anything.
Dr. Zhou cares about the outcome.
As a result, she may have to resign.
She initially stayed in Nancheng to make up for the regrets of her past life and to detoxify Lu Ye.
Now that Lu Ye's health has stabilized, she only needs to give them the prescription and get the medicine.
Because Bai Zhi mentioned that she wanted to resign, Dr. Zhou didn't speak to her for the entire afternoon.
At mealtime, Bai Zhi said she would go get food for Doctor Zhou, but Doctor Zhou said he would eat out by himself. After saying that, he dragged his slippers out the door.
Around 1 p.m., after Dr. Zhou woke up from her afternoon nap, Bai Zhi asked her for leave, saying she needed to go to the long-distance bus station to pick up some medicinal herbs.
Dr. Zhou still ignored her, and she didn't care whether he agreed to her request for leave or not, and rode her bicycle straight out the door.
These men are all like silent gourds; they get upset over the smallest things.
Lu Ye is like this, and so is Dr. Zhou, the middle-aged boss. Should she accept their fate?
Dr. Zhou watched from the window as the girl sped away on her bicycle. He put down his book and sighed heavily.
He thought of Ye Tiandong's words...
He quickly shook his head again.
Jishengtang was the culmination of the old man's life's work; if he were to abandon it, he would be unfilial.
Dr. Zhou sighed heavily again as he thought about the shackles binding him.
If Bai Zhi had stayed, perhaps Ji Sheng Tang could have been revived.
But he also knew very well that the girl was no ordinary person, and this small temple could not keep her.
Just as Dr. Zhou was sighing 108 times, a man dressed in black with a white shirt, carrying a large watermelon, walked into Jishengtang.
Ever since Wang Shufen caused a scene due to side effects from using black plaster, Dr. Zhou has become hesitant whenever a patient comes in.
With Bai Zhi available recently, he can simply be a hands-off manager; when patients come, Bai Zhi takes them on without him getting flustered.
But right now...
Dr. Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Would you like me to dispense medicine or to see the doctor?"
"Hello, I'm looking for someone."
Upon hearing the man's words, Dr. Zhou inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
The man's voice was deep and polite. "Excuse me, does Bai Zhi work here?"
"Who are you?" Upon hearing that the handsome man was looking for Bai Zhi again, Doctor Zhou's eyes instantly lit up with a gossip-loving light.
"I am her...brother."
Lu Ye originally wanted to say that she was her fiancé, but he changed his mind because he was afraid of causing her trouble.
"Brother?" Doctor Zhou looked him up and down. The man had an imposing aura and a cold face, completely different from the lively and fashionable handsome guy from yesterday.
Doctor Zhou's expression was meaningful. "Another guy?"
Lu Ye, “???”
