After the dinner at Gancaotang ended, when everyone was drinking tea and chatting in the yard, Mr. Ye received a message from Fan Anping.
"Tomorrow, it has been confirmed that it was indeed caused by allergies."
When Mr. Ye saw Yu Zhiming nodded slightly without much expression, he suddenly felt that he was really old.
"Zhiming, have you been practicing the Longevity Kung diligently? How is your grasp of it? Do it once now and let me see."
Is it bad to exercise right after a meal?
Although Yu Zhiming had some opinions in his mind, since the teacher had spoken, it was not a big deal, so he got up without saying a word and went to an open space in the yard.
He stood in the right position, calmed his mind and adjusted his breathing, then began to practice the longevity exercise using his shoulders, elbows, hips and legs.
Yu Zhiming performed the longevity exercise smoothly, which took him just over three minutes.
After he finished his training, he took a few steps to come closer to Mr. Ye amid the soft applause.
"Teacher, I practice this longevity exercise at home at least five times every day. How am I doing?"
Elder Ye nodded gently and said, "It's okay, so-so. Zhiming, you have to remember that this longevity exercise must be practiced persistently to achieve the effect of strengthening your body and prolonging your life."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Teacher, this kind of perseverance is what I'm best at."
Yu's father said proudly, "I can testify to this. In the riverside woods, he used stones to hit cicadas. He persisted for three to five years until he hit every one accurately."
Mr. Ye said with a smile: "Perseverance is an essential quality for anyone who wants to achieve success."
He then looked at his sons and several apprentices sitting nearby, his face filled with disdain as he said, "If only you had understood the principle of learning like a seedling sprouting in spring, and studied diligently every day, you wouldn't be struggling so much in the competition with the National Medical Hall and Tong Ren Tang."
These words made Ye Peng, Liang Qian and others feel wronged and bitter, but they didn't dare to say anything.
During this period, they have been training day and night in preparation for the three-hall competition to be held in June.
However, given the fame and scale of Guoyitang and Tongrentang, no one, including Mr. Ye, was sure about their future.
This led to Mr. Ye disliking them, and when they went to the bathroom, he would say they were lazy donkeys going to the millstone, with a lot of shit and urine.
At this time, Xiao Qiao came to Mr. Ye and handed him a handful of shelled walnut kernels.
"Master, eat walnuts."
Mr. Ye immediately smiled and said kindly, "I don't want to eat it. You can eat it yourself."
Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "I eat them every day. I'm very determined. My mom said my uncle is so smart because he ate a lot of walnuts since he was a child."
"I want to be as smart as my uncle when I grow up."
Amidst the laughter, Qingning pulled Xiaoqiao to her side and let her sit on a chair with her.
Yu Zhiming said softly, "Teacher, to improve the effectiveness of the training, could you please invite Elder Qin, Elder Liu, and Elder Bai over to give Doctor Ye and Doctor Liang some pointers?"
Mr. Ye shook his head slightly and said, "My relationship with them is average, so I can't invite them."
Yu Zhiming asked in surprise and confusion: "Just an average relationship?"
Seeing Yu Zhiming's expression, Mr. Ye smiled and asked, "Zhiming, you don't think our relationship is very good, do you?"
He added, "As competitors, I don't have a deep relationship with them. In the past, due to consultations and industry conferences, we just sat together to discuss superficial issues in Traditional Chinese Medicine. We didn't have any personal relationships."
"To be honest, it's because of you, Zhiming, and this ginseng pill that I've had more contact with the three of them, and we've even had some interest in each other."
"But my friend, I can't say yet."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and asked thoughtfully, "Teacher, if I invite them to give some advice to Doctor Ye and the others."
"Are you welcome?"
Mr. Ye was slightly startled and said, "Of course I welcome it, but, Zhiming, you don't have to do this."
"It's not easy to owe favors to these old guys. Besides, given the current situation, winning the three-hall competition would be the best. If we can't win, it won't be a loss for our Gancao Hall either, and our reputation will be greatly improved."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Teacher, regarding favors, at the moment, they owe me."
"If we keep owing each other favors, won't our relationship become close? Taking a step back, even if I don't owe them a favor, if they ask me for help in the future, given our relationship, can I really refuse?"
Elder Ye sighed softly and said, "Zhiming, with your medical skills and your age, countless people would love to owe you a favor."
After a pause, he continued, "I won't be pretentious this time. Zhiming, I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry."
Mr. Ye added, "Well, if it's inconvenient for them, don't force them."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "That's natural..."
After chatting for another ten or twenty minutes, the Yu family said goodbye and left Gancaotang.
Yu Xinyue used a taxi app to call a seven-seater private car and left with her two children and Yu's parents.
Qing Ning drove a sports car with her elder sister, while Yu Zhiming, Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan took a Phantom, returning to Junshan Mansion one after another.
After the car was running smoothly, Yu Zhiming casually asked Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan, "I've been busy recently and haven't chatted with you for a while."
"Um, are there any boys chasing you?"
Zeng Yan chuckled and said, "Uncle, my daily life is just going back and forth between the dormitory, the playground, the classroom, the laboratory, the study room, the cafeteria, and other fixed places. I don't have many opportunities to interact with male classmates."
Xiaoxue also hurriedly said: "Uncle, I am almost there too. At most, I can go to one more English corner to practice speaking."
After hearing what the two said, Yu Zhiming felt a chill in his heart.
He could tell that Xiaoxue's voice was a little nervous and her breathing was much heavier.
This little girl lied.
This made Yu Zhiming angry, because he had raised Xiaoxue since she was a child, just like his own daughter.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“No is best!”
Yu Zhiming replied casually, then organized his words and said, "Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan, let me tell you something. Some people have been having trouble getting through to me lately. Perhaps you, the people around me, have become their indirect targets."
"If you suddenly meet a boy who has good looks, temperament, and personality, and who shows great concern for you, you must be careful."
"If such a person appears, remember to tell me."
"Uncle, I will." Zeng Yan replied first.
Yu Zhiming noticed that Xiaoxue hesitated and struggled for a moment before she spoke: "Uncle, what do those people want from you?"
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice, "They want so much, like saving people they don't want to save or can't save, making me do jobs I don't want to do, and signing agreements I don't want to sign."
"These are still light..."
Yu Zhiming decided to make his statement more serious. He said, "Do you know why the country sent special agents to protect me? It's because there are bad people, hostile forces abroad who want to attack me."
"Perhaps they will use the most common beauty trap to get close to me through you."
Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan both let out a soft cry.
The next moment, Xiaoxue continued, "Uncle, um, um, my roommate and I once met a few boys on campus, and one of them fits the profile you described."
Yu Zhiming asked with concern: "Are you dating him?"
"No! No!"
Xiaoxue quickly explained, and then said, "It's just that a few of us went out to play together once and had dinner together twice."
She emphasized again: "We have never been alone together."
Yu Zhiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaoxue, apart from other things, you have just entered university and have not experienced much of the world. You lack comprehensive judgment on many things."
"If I really wanted to have a boyfriend, I would have gotten one after my junior year."
Xiaoxue whispered, "I understand, uncle."
Yu Zhiming added, "I'll have someone investigate that guy. Even if he's fine, you still have to focus on your studies."
Xiaoxue nodded her head in response.
Yu Zhiming was a little annoyed. Once a little girl started to fall in love, it would be difficult to deal with her.
It's really annoying...
Yu Zhiming took out his cell phone and wanted to contact his elder sister, but he stopped the moment he pressed the number.
It’s better not to let my elder sister know about this matter for the time being. Let’s first check whether that brat has any other intentions.
If he was really instructed by someone, Yu Zhiming would secretly make sure that the person behind the scenes would suffer the consequences and understand deeply what regret means.
Family is Yu Zhiming's Achilles' heel!
Yu Zhiming suppressed his annoyance and said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital to meet Chen Long and the actress Zhang Yuhan who will be filming the public service announcement with me."
As he was speaking, Yu Zhiming saw the name of the Poison King Liu Lao in the address book.
In order to find something to do, Yu Zhiming called Mr. Liu.
The call was quickly connected and Mr. Liu's voice came through.
"Doctor Yu, I really can't say enough. We are so close. I just mentioned you."
He chuckled again and said, "Doctor Yu, you don't call for nothing. Tell me about your business first."
Yu Zhiming said succinctly: "Mr. Liu, if Gancaotang wants to win the competition among the three halls, we need guidance from an expert."
"Would it be convenient for you to come and guide them for a few days?"
Elder Liu didn't answer but asked, "Doctor Yu, was this Elder Ye asking you to invite him?"
Yu Zhiming replied frankly, "I took the initiative to bring it up. Master Ye is my teacher, and just today, my little niece was officially accepted as an apprentice by Master Ye's son."
"This guy is so shameless..."
Elder Liu scoffed halfway through the call, then said, "I can come over, but let me make it clear first. This isn't for Elder Ye's sake, but for your sake, Doctor Yu."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Okay, as long as you are willing to give me some pointers, I'll owe you a favor."
Old Liu said with a smile: "Forget the favor. After all, I still owe you a favor."
"Well, Doctor Yu, you cured two lupus patients in a row, and now you have a constant stream of patients coming to see me."
Yu Zhiming quickly said, "Mr. Liu, I've been a bit busy lately and my time is tight."
Elder Liu replied, "Doctor Yu, don't worry. I've successfully cured two lupus patients according to your plan. I need to think carefully about adjusting the prescription. I won't be accepting any more lupus patients in the short term."
"It's just a small matter that I need to trouble you with."
"What's the matter?" Yu Zhiming asked.
"Doctor Yu, we in the Liu family also have people who work as Western medicine doctors in large hospitals. They're surgeons who perform surgeries on patients."
"I heard that you are very good at giving surgical instructions..." (End of this chapter)
