Chapter 110 A Chance Encounter
After their lovemaking, the two showered and lay in bed.
Lin Yi-an said, "I am not a noble person. When I was learning medicine from my grandmother, she said that doctors treat people and it is related to people's health. Every aspect must be taken seriously and there can be no falsehood. One is one, and we must be realistic. Only by maintaining this rigorous attitude can we better treat people."
Zhou Mingshi: "Grandma was a good doctor. It was a blessing for the villagers to have her as their doctor."
When elderly people living alone in the village came to see her, she only charged them a token fee. That little money wasn't even enough to cover the cost of medicine or the consultation fee.
Lin Yi-an: "My grandmother did good deeds her whole life."
When I was a child, my family was poor. At that time, many people believed in Western medicine, and pharmacies didn't make much money. When poor families in the village came to get medicine, she would charge them a small amount for the cost of the herbs. However, she didn't include the herbs dug from the mountains in her charges.
The next day, Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi went to work.
As soon as I arrived at the TCM clinic, Cai Zixin came over wearing glasses and a mask. She wasn't alone; she had brought a friend with her.
After registering, Cai Zixin and her friend went into the consultation room.
Cai Zixin took off her mask and asked happily, "Dr. Lin, look at my face, doesn't it look much rosier?"
For them, celebrities pay the most attention to their figure and their face. A person's condition is directly reflected on their face.
Some time ago, she lost too much weight for filming. Although her face was free of blemishes, her skin was loose and dull, her eyes were lifeless, and she looked listless and dispirited. She was worried about herself, let alone going to work.
Lin Yi'an looked her over and said, "You're still young, you'll recover quickly. Once your blood and energy are replenished, you'll gradually return to your normal condition."
After taking your pulse, she said, "I'll change your prescription today. Go to the treatment room and have a massage therapist give you a back massage."
After prescribing the medicine, I looked at the girl next to me. She took off her mask and said, "Doctor, I look a bit chubby on camera. I want to slim my face. Can you help me slim my face?"
Cai Zixin rolled her eyes: "Didn't you say you came here with irregular periods and wanted to get treatment? Do you think the Chinese hospital is the plastic surgery department?"
The girl said, "My friend is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He said acupuncture can slim the face. You all say this place is good, so I'm here to try it."
“If I had known this was your purpose, I wouldn’t have brought you here. If you want to slim your face, go to a plastic surgery hospital. Your face shape should be shaved, not come here for acupuncture.” After saying that, Cai Zixin looked at Lin Yi’an: “Dr. Lin, don’t listen to her nonsense. She doesn’t have any friends who practice traditional Chinese medicine…”
Lin Yi'an wasn't angry. Since becoming a doctor, she had seen all sorts of patients. If she got angry every time someone questioned her, she wouldn't be a doctor anymore.
She looked at the girl and said honestly, "You are not fat, and your face is not puffy. You have a round face, firm cheeks, and a rosy complexion. You are in very good condition. Acupuncture will not be of much use to you, and there is no need for you to suffer."
The girl then said, "I heard from them that you charge a lot of money here. I have money, so please do whatever you want to me. If my face can get thinner, I'll pay you 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, let alone that little bit."
Lin Yi-an said, "We only charge the fees that are due. We won't charge a penny more than we should."
The girl glanced at her: "I don't believe it. You wouldn't make money if you had the chance?"
Lin Yi'an: "You just registered but didn't see a doctor. You can go and get a refund. I have other patients. You can leave now."
The girl asked to confirm, "You really won't earn this money?"
Lin Yi'an: "You can leave now."
The girl sat down instead: "Okay, I know you're determined. I actually have tenosynovitis, and it's been hurting for two days..."
Cai Zixin rolled her eyes. Was this guy out of his mind? If you asked her, she should get his head checked, not his face.
Lin Yi'an touched her hand: "Is it here?"
The girl replied, "Mm."
Lin Yi-an: "Acupuncture can be performed here."
The girl said, "Actually, I do have a friend who is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He said that you can slim your face by using acupuncture. I don't know if it's true or not, so I wanted to ask you. I apologize for my bad attitude just now."
Lin Yi'an looked at her and said, "Acupuncture can unblock meridians, regulate qi and blood, and strengthen the spleen and kidneys. If your cheeks are loose and lack elasticity, acupuncture can help improve them, but you don't need it now."
The girl scoffed, "I knew I had a large frame. Can acupuncture really make your frame smaller? Turns out he was just kidding me."
Cai Zixin said unhappily, "Chen Yuanyuan, so you don't believe my recommendation and said that on purpose?"
Chen Yuanyuan said apologetically, "I'm often deceived, so I have to test the waters first, Dr. Lin, I'm sorry."
Cai Zixin snorted.
Lin Yi'an called a nurse and asked her to take them to the treatment room.
Around noon, Lin Yi'an had just finished seeing her last patient and was taking a teacup out to rest when three people came in, one of whom was a middle-aged woman being supported by the other two.
A man in his sixties asked, "She's dizzy, could you please call a doctor for me?"
Lin Yi'an asked in surprise, "Principal Tao?"
Principal Tao looked at her: "You, you are Lin Yi'an?"
Lin Yi'an was an outstanding student, and he was deeply impressed by her. He even planned to introduce her to work at his senior's hospital, but she said she had other plans. He was quite disappointed about that.
"Principal Tao, I need to see the patient first." After saying that, Lin Yi'an quickly called for the nurse's help: "Come and help the patient to the examination room."
Principal Tao watched from the sidelines without intervening.
Lin Yi'an methodically examined the patient, taking her blood pressure and pulse. After determining the cause of the illness, she took out silver needles and began acupuncture...
After Lin Yi'an finished the acupuncture, Principal Tao asked, "Do you work here?"
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "After graduation, I opened this traditional Chinese medicine clinic."
Principal Tao looked around and said, "It's pretty good."
As they were talking, Cai Zixin and Chen Yuanyuan came out of the treatment and said goodbye to her.
Chen Yuanyuan said, "Dr. Lin, you are a good doctor. I will come to you for treatment whenever I feel unwell in the future."
Lin Yi'an thought this was really childish: "You've only been treated once, and you already know I'm a good doctor?"
Chen Yuanyuan said, "Before I became an artist, I tried to lose weight in many places and was scammed many times. Since you didn't treat me randomly for money, I trust you."
Lin Yi'an chuckled: "If your hand still hurts, let's do it again."
Chen Yuanyuan: "Okay."
After the two women left, Principal Tao smiled and said, "It seems our school is about to produce another famous doctor."
He and his friend came here on business. His friend suddenly felt dizzy and happened to see a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Unexpectedly, they ran into students from the school.
He had just observed the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and there were quite a few patients coming and going. Traditional Chinese medicine relies on word of mouth; if the clinic couldn't treat patients, so many people wouldn't come.
Hearing that girl's words again just now confirmed my observations once more.
Lin Yi'an dared not admit this: "I'm still far from it, there's still so much to learn."
Principal Tao looked at her and suddenly said, "You should know about Professor Qian. He wants to take on two apprentices. If you are interested, I can introduce you."
Lin Yi'an knew that Principal Tao was also Qian Lao's student, and she happily said, "Of course."
Principal Tao: "My master will be seeing patients at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital tomorrow morning. Come early, and I'll introduce you..."
Lin Yi-an: "Thank you, Principal!"
Principal Tao waved his hand: "I only recommended you because I thought you were suitable. I wouldn't help ordinary people who came to me."
He knew his master's temper and wouldn't casually introduce people to others, otherwise his master would get angry.
After seeing Principal Tao off, Lin Yi'an returned to the clinic and took out her phone to see the message from Zhou Mingshi.
The first message was sent around 10 a.m., asking if she was free at noon so they could have lunch together.
Seeing that she didn't reply, I sent another message at 11 o'clock.
Seeing that she still didn't reply, he asked again, "Wife?"
Then below is a string of "wife" followed by question marks.
She laughed and replied to him, "Are you skipping work?"
When Zhou Mingshi saw her reply, he tapped on the screen with his phone: "I learned it from the company employees, they've corrupted me."
Lin Yi'an laughed: "Do your company's employees know that they're leading their boss astray?"
After sending that message, she asked, "I'm free this afternoon, but it's almost one o'clock now. Have you eaten yet?"
Zhou Mingshi replied with a smile, "If you ignore me, I can only offer myself up to you."
Lin Yi'an: "So, you're already on your way?"
Zhou Mingshi: "We're almost there."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over, then we'll go out to eat."
