Chapter 647 Are You Really Getting Married?
Qiao Xi is a new face here.
The people who came in one after another couldn't help but look at her. They had only heard that Cheng Han's apprentice won the first prize in the needle testing competition, but they had never seen her up close.
I didn’t expect that now that we have become colleagues, many older directors have expressed their admiration for the fact that the younger generation is pushing the older generation forward.
Shen Xuanzhi's seat was right next to Qiao Xi.
He moved the chair and sat down. Qiao Xi glanced at him and whispered, "I didn't expect to see you here."
Last night, Huo Xingzhou told her that he had received the Guan family's wedding invitation.
Shen Xuanzhi and Guan Jingtan are getting married, not engaged.
I never thought that two people who had nothing in common would get together.
When Shen Xuanzhi faced Qiao Xi, he was also very frank: "The Guan family recommended me through their connections. I originally only applied to become an ordinary member of the association. It just so happened that a director retired due to old age, so I filled the vacancy."
Qiao Xi said, "That's because you're really strong! After all, you came in fourth in the needle testing competition. To be in the top ten is already very impressive."
For some reason, she always felt that Shen Xuanzhi was in a very low mood, even though he still had that cold face.
Shen Xuanzhi looked at her and remained silent.
Last night, the Guan family first sent an invitation to the Huo family.
He knew about it, but he didn't know Qiao Xihe...
Qiao Xi looked at Shen Xuanzhi and said in a low voice, "Are you really going to marry Miss Guan?"
Because she always felt that Shen Xuanzhi liked Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao was pursuing him relentlessly, so he was not unmoved.
Why is the marriage so sudden?
Shen Xuanzhi heard what she said, his eyelashes drooped slightly and said: "Well, we are getting married."
"Then..." Qiao Xi didn't know what to say, "Then congratulations."
"Thanks."
Shen Xuanzhi's fingers were tightly bent, and his knuckles turned white.
If Qiao Xi knew, then Huo Sijiao would know too. So be it, they just weren't destined to be together.
Most of the seats in the conference room were filled.
Only the main seat and one director's seat were left.
Qiao Xi looked at the gray-haired vice president standing beside her and nodded slightly as a greeting. This vice president had served in the Chinese Medicine Association for over thirty years and was a truly amazing acupuncturist, considered a descendant of the Lin family's acupuncture tradition.
But the Lin family's acupuncture could not compare to the reputation of the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Needles in the imperial capital, and was completely suppressed.
Vice President Lin Chunsheng has a gentle personality and is not competitive, which has helped the Lu family grow and develop.
It took a long time.
Lu Yingxue appeared at the door of the conference room. She wore a mask to cover the wound on her face and sat directly in the president's seat.
She put down the documents, glanced at Qiao Xi and Shen Xuanzhi, and said, "My father is busy today, so I will take over the regular meeting."
She spoke very naturally.
The most important thing is that no one objected.
Qiao Xi's eyes flashed with surprise. It turned out that Lu Yingxue, a simple director, could act as the president of the Chinese Medicine Association. In Lu Bannong's absence, she filled in.
This father and daughter completely control the leadership of the Chinese Medicine Association.
Lu Yingxue sat in the chairperson's seat, her voice cold and clear, "First, let me discuss the arrangements for the free clinic at the end of the month. Two new members recently joined the association, and I will be participating in the free clinic at the end of the month. The other directors don't have to worry about it. The venue for the free clinic will still be the original square. The relevant notice and online appointments will be released next week. We have been holding free clinics like this for ten years. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No."
"No, the free clinics arranged by Yingxue are always perfect. We old guys are able to rest for so long because of you. Otherwise, it would be too much for us old bones to deal with so many patients."
"Yes, the opportunity still belongs to you young people."
Vice President Lin Chunsheng, who was sitting nearby, said, "How about we welcome the newcomers first? We're not that familiar with each other yet."
"Uncle Lin, let's do this outside of the meeting. We can't waste time socializing during our monthly meeting. If there are no new proposals, we'll adjourn. You can meet anyone you want."
Lu Yingxue was obviously deliberately ignoring Shen Xuanzhi and Qiao Xi.
I also didn't want to introduce them to the old directors.
Lu Yingxue's cold expression also had a certain aura of power. She looked at everyone and said, "Do you have any new proposals?"
Qiao Xi looked at her and raised her hand.
"I have."
Lu Yingxue looked at her and said calmly, "Speak."
Qiao Xi stood up and said, "We were assigned patients at the acupuncture test before, but we haven't seen them since those competitions. Could you please hand those patients over to us and let us take care of them throughout the whole process? For example, Ms. Cheng, who suffers from narcolepsy in the last round of the competition, I think her condition is quite complicated. Could I..."
"cannot."
Lu Yingxue refused before she could finish. "These patients with difficult and complicated illnesses are all members of the Chinese Medicine Association and cannot come into contact with other people. My father is responsible for treating Ms. Cheng, and he has kept her condition under control for many years. You don't think that simply waking her up can cure her illness, do you?"
Her tone was cold, hiding a hint of disdain.
"Doctor Qiao, your medical skills are indeed excellent. But you can't be so arrogant as to make fun of your patients."
Qiao Xi knew that the Chinese Medicine Association would not easily hand Ms. Cheng over to her.
But she had to achieve her goal.
If that Ms. Cheng is really Grandpa Cheng's daughter, then she must cure her. Although she doesn't know why Grandpa Cheng has a daughter, nor why she has any connection with Lu Bannong.
But only by curing Ms. Cheng's illness can we get the truth.
"Director Lu, I'm not kidding about the patients. If I can't take them away for treatment, then as the vice president of the association, do I have the right to contact these patients within the association? I can at least check on her, right?"
Qiao Xi did not give in and spoke in a firm tone.
Lu Yingxue looked at her stubborn face and had some violent thoughts in her mind. She wanted to break her spine and bones.
"This matter is up to my father to decide. I can't give you a reply for the time being." Lu Yingxue was refusing in disguise, thinking that delaying it for a while would be enough to dissuade Qiao Xi from having the idea.
The next regular meeting is in a month.
At that time, Qiao Xi might not have been in the mood to ask the Chinese Medicine Association for help.
Her father had instructed that no one else should come into contact with the woman surnamed Cheng. Although she didn't know why, she still obeyed her father's orders.
Seeing her act this way, Qiao Xi treated the Chinese Medicine Association as the Lu family's one-man show.
She laughed and said, "So the Chinese Medicine Association doesn't need to follow regulations at all. In the absence of the president, the vice president should exercise power on his behalf. The Chinese Medicine Association Management Regulations I got have 221 articles. Is it just for show?"
"Director Lu, please answer my question."
