Chapter 647 Are You Really Getting Married?
Qiao Xi is a new face here.
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 never thought that now that we have become colleagues, many older directors have expressed their admiration for the fact that the younger generation always outstrips the older generation.
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 just applied to become an ordinary member of the association. It happened that a director retired due to age, so I filled the vacancy."
Qiao Xi said, "That's also because of your strength! After all, you were the fourth in the needle testing competition, and being able to make it to the top ten is already very outstanding."
She didn't know why, but she always felt that Shen Xuanzhi was in a very low mood, even though he still had that sullen face.
Shen Xuanzhi glanced 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 Xi and...
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 get married so suddenly?
Shen Xuanzhi heard what she said, his eyelashes drooped slightly and he said, "Well, we are getting married."
"Then..." Qiao Xi didn't know what to say, "Then congratulations."
"Thank you."
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 had no fate.
Most of the seats in the conference room were filled.
Only the main seat and one director seat were left.
Qiao Xi looked at the gray-haired vice president and nodded slightly as a greeting. This vice president had served in the Chinese Medicine Association for more than 30 years and was an amazing acupuncturist. He was considered the successor of Lin's acupuncture.
But the Lin family's acupuncture was not as famous as the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Needles in the imperial capital and was completely suppressed.
Vice President Lin Chunsheng is also a gentle person who does not like to compete with others. He has helped the Lu family grow and prosper.
A long time passed.
Lu Yingxue appeared at the door of the conference room. She wore a mask to cover the wounds on her face and sat directly in the president's seat.
She put down the document, glanced at Qiao Xi and Shen Xuanzhi, and said, "My father has something to do 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, an ordinary director, could exercise the responsibilities of the president in 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 talk about the arrangements for the free clinic at the end of the month. Recently, two new members have joined the association, and I will participate in the free clinic with the two new members at the end of the month. The other directors don't have to worry about it. As for the venue of the free clinic, it will still be in the original square. The relevant notice and online appointment will be issued next week. We have been conducting such free clinics for ten years. Does anyone have any objections?"
"no."
"No, the free clinics arranged by Yingxue are always perfect. We old guys can rest for so long because of you. Otherwise, we would be too exhausted to handle so many patients with just a handful of bones."
"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 are not familiar with each other yet."
"Uncle Lin, let's do this outside of the meeting. We can't waste time on socializing during our monthly meeting. If there are no new proposals, we'll adjourn. You can get to know anyone you want."
Lu Yingxue obviously ignored Shen Xuanzhi and Qiao Xi on purpose.
I also didn’t want to introduce them to the old directors.
Lu Yingxue's cold face also showed some 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 previous acupuncture test conference, but we haven't seen them since those competitions. Can we hand those patients back to us and be responsible for the whole process? For example, Ms. Cheng, who suffers from narcolepsy in the last round of the competition, I think her condition is very complicated. Can I..."
"cannot."
Lu Yingxue refused before she finished speaking. "These patients with difficult and complicated diseases are all members of the Chinese Medicine Association and cannot come into contact with other people at will. My father is in charge of treating Ms. Cheng, and her condition has been under control for many years. You don't think that a simple awakening can cure her disease, do you?"
Her tone was cold, hiding a hint of disdain.
"Dr. Qiao, your medical skills are indeed excellent. But you can't be arrogant and make fun of your patients casually."
Qiao Xi knew that the Chinese Medicine Association would not hand over Ms. Cheng to her easily.
But she had to achieve her goal.
If that Ms. Cheng is really the daughter of Grandpa Cheng, then she must cure her. Although she doesn't know why Grandpa Cheng has a daughter, and she doesn't know why she has any connection with Lu Bangnong.
But only by curing Ms. Cheng's illness can we get the truth.
"Director Lu, I didn't joke with 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.
When Lu Yingxue looked at her stubborn face, she had some violent thoughts in her mind and wanted to break her spine and bones.
"This matter is up to my father. I can't give you an answer for the time being." Lu Yingxue was refusing in disguise, thinking that delaying for a while would be enough to dissuade Qiao Xi from having the idea.
The next regular meeting will be 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 was allowed to come into contact with the woman named Cheng. Although she didn't know why, she still obeyed her father's orders.
Seeing her act this way, Qiao Xi regarded the Chinese Medicine Association as a one-man show for the Lu family.
She laughed and said, "It turns out that the Chinese Medicine Association does not need to follow the regulations. When the president is not around, the vice president should exercise power on his behalf. The Chinese Medicine Association Management Regulations I got has Article 221. Is it just for show?"
"Director Lu, please answer my question."
