Director Yu, being a leader who had been in a high position for many years, was not used to being humble for a while. Since Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo were both quite sensible, he took the opportunity to back down.
"Xiao Ye, do you have an elder in your family who practices medicine?" Director Yu asked.
Lu Mo helped answer, "Qingqing's ancestors were imperial physicians, and Madam Sheng, the manager of Yimintang, is also her elder. Her father runs a clinic, and his medical skills are renowned far and wide."
Director Yu, working in a medical-related department, had naturally heard of the old lady's reputation. Upon hearing this, he was startled. Considering the legends surrounding Lu Mo's identity, he couldn't help but sized up the two of them.
What a perfect couple!
Those who can thrive in officialdom are mostly shrewd and calculating. Director Yu guessed the relationship between Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing and cautiously asked, "What is the relationship between Xiao Ye and Mayor Sang?"
Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "He's my uncle."
Mrs. Yu was taken aback, relieved that she hadn't kicked them out earlier and that she hadn't been impolite. She forced a warm smile and said, "Why didn't you say so sooner, child? That was really rude of you!"
Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "My uncle said we can't use his name outside."
Sang Huaiyuan would certainly not say such things, and Ye Qingqing herself was unwilling to use his name to add some good reputation to him.
"Mayor Sang is truly a good cadre who is wholeheartedly for the people. Please have some candy." Madam Yu presented a plate of snacks, showing a stark contrast in treatment.
Ye Qingqing chuckled to herself and didn't eat any candy. This Director Yu seemed to be a truly honest official; not only was the furniture simple, but the candy was also very ordinary. She was used to eating high-end candy, and she really couldn't stomach this kind of ordinary candy.
Lu Mo knew this girl was very picky, so to avoid an awkward atmosphere, he simply stated his purpose directly. Although it was his first time meeting Director Yu, he could tell that this leader was a man of action and there was no need to beat around the bush with him.
"Leader Yu, actually we came here with a request."
Director Yu was taken aback and looked at him warily with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. Although he admired Ye Qingqing and was wary of Sang Huaiyuan, he would never agree to let the two of them do anything against their principles.
"Just say what's on your mind, don't be shy," Mrs. Yu quickly tried to smooth things over, feeling helpless about her husband's inflexibility.
If it weren't for her husband's stubborn nature, he would have been promoted long ago, given his abilities.
"That's how it is..."
Lu Mo briefly explained Ye Qingqing's unlicensed medical practice: "It is indeed wrong for Qingqing to practice medicine without a license, but she just didn't take the license exam. As for her medical skills, you just saw it. She has treated several people and cured them each time. You are the leader, but the law is not without human consideration. I would like to ask you to help cancel Qingqing's record of practicing medicine without a license."
Director Yu felt relieved. He knew very well that Ye Qingqing's medical skills were better than many so-called experts. In his opinion, whether she had a certificate or not didn't really make much difference.
However, the rules cannot be broken.
“Practicing medicine without a license is definitely wrong, but Xiao Ye’s situation is indeed understandable, but…” Director Yu hesitated.
He could easily destroy the disciplinary record with a single word, but that would violate his principles. However, he didn't want a promising young man to have his bright future affected by this stain. He was in a real dilemma.
The old lady and Madam Yu simultaneously struck with their elbows, one on each side, stabbing Director Yu in the lower back, causing him to roll his eyes in pain.
"It's no big deal, we'll cancel the record tomorrow, don't worry!"
The old lady and Mrs. Yu spoke at the same time, proving they were a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were truly in sync, their actions and tones perfectly synchronized.
