Busy times always fly by!
When Su Zhengnan finished his midday consultations, it was almost 2 p.m., and the students were due for class.
"Dr. Su, how are things? You should be done with your work now, right?"
The school clinic had just quieted down when Deng Changfeng arrived at Su Zhengnan's clinic right on time, greeting him with a smile, "Can we go eat now? Let's call Nurse Zhou along too?"
Su Zhengnan tidied up his desk, smiled and nodded, saying, "Director Deng, you're really proactive. Okay, let's go, I'll go call Sister Zhou."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan went to the nurses' station and called out to Zhou Zixuan:
"Sister Zhou, let's go eat together. Director Deng is treating us to dinner."
"What? Director Deng is inviting us to dinner?"
Zhou Zixuan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Deng Changfeng, who was following closely behind Su Zhengnan, and asked, "What's going on today? Director Deng, you're actually treating us to dinner?"
Deng Changfeng smiled and said, "Isn't this to thank Dr. Su for curing my old ailment? Nurse Zhou, you should come too. I also invited a few other teachers to come along."
"Oh, okay then. If Dr. Su is going, then I'll go too."
Zhou Zixuan smiled and glanced at Su Zhengnan, then took off her white coat and followed the two of them out of the school clinic.
On the way to dinner.
Zhou Zixuan couldn't help but laugh and ask Deng Changfeng, "Director Deng, where are you planning to take us to eat? This doesn't seem to be the way to the school cafeteria, does it?"
Deng Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "Since I'm inviting Dr. Su to dinner, it's impossible for us to go to the school cafeteria. Let's go to Quanjude outside for Peking duck."
At this point, Deng Changfeng paused, then turned to Su Zhengnan and asked:
"Dr. Su has been working here for a while now, but he probably hasn't tried Quanjude roast duck yet, has he?"
Su Zhengnan was not a native of Beijing.
Deng Changfeng had inquired about this news, so he guessed that he probably hadn't tried Peking duck in Beijing yet.
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Director Deng, you can even tell that? To be honest, I've never actually eaten authentic Peking duck from Beijing. I must thank you for your kindness, Director Deng."
"Hahaha... Dr. Su, you're too kind. It's just a roast duck. You don't need to be so polite."
Deng Changfeng waved his hand with a big laugh, appearing very magnanimous.
But it really is very grand!
If you're only inviting Su Zhengnan and Zhou Zixuan, a meal at Quanjude won't cost too much.
But Deng Changfeng invited more than just the two of them; there were other teachers as well, and this meal would cost several thousand dollars.
Afterwards, Deng Changfeng drove his car out and took Su Zhengnan and Zhou Zixuan to the Quanjude restaurant closest to the Beijing Film Academy.
"Let's go, the private room I booked is on the second floor!"
After parking the car, Deng Changfeng smiled and led Su Zhengnan and Zhou Zixuan to a private room on the second floor.
With a creak!
As soon as Su Zhengnan pushed open the door and entered the private room, he saw four or five men and women sitting inside, all of whom looked older than him.
Deng Changfeng smiled and pointed to Su Zhengnan, then introduced him to the people present: "This is Su Zhengnan, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor in our school clinic, and this is the nurse in our school clinic next to him. I don't need to introduce them, do I?"
"No need for an introduction, everyone knows Nurse Zhou!"
"Is this Dr. Su over there? He looks so young and handsome. I wonder if Dr. Su has a girlfriend yet?"
"What? People come here to eat. It's really inappropriate for you to ask them if they have a girlfriend right away."
"Hello Dr. Su, I am Huang Boming, a vocal teacher in the Performing Arts Department. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Chen Hai, a teacher majoring in drama and film. It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Su."
"I am Ding Zhihong, a teacher majoring in recording arts. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The teachers present stood up one by one and introduced themselves, with faint smiles on their faces.
Su Zhengnan quickly nodded to the teachers present and replied with a smile, "Hello, teachers. It's a pleasure to meet you all and an honor to have dinner with you all!"
"Oh my, Dr. Su really knows how to talk. It should be our honor."
Huang Boming, a vocal teacher in the performing arts department, said with a smile, "We are just a group of teachers. There is nothing to be honored about. People can learn on their own without a teacher, but they can't be without a doctor when they are sick!"
Deng Changfeng, who was standing nearby, quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, you all stop bragging to each other and hurry up and sit down to get ready to eat. I have two more classes this afternoon!"
Upon hearing Deng Changfeng's words, everyone immediately fell silent.
Su Zhengnan and Zhou Zixuan sat down, and then Deng Changfeng called the waiter to serve the dishes.
Roast duck is, of course, indispensable.
You know what, Quanjude's roast duck is really something else. It's crispy and more refreshing than regular roast duck.
This was also Su Zhengnan's first time eating Quanjude's roast duck, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Quanjude's roast duck is just different! It's fragrant, crispy, and melts in your mouth. No wonder it's so expensive."
"Of course, otherwise how could it be so famous?"
Deng Changfeng smiled and took a bite of the crispy skin of the roast duck in his hand, muttering, "Dr. Su, you should also try their plum juice later, it's very delicious."
"Plum juice? That's a great remedy for cooling down in the summer! I must have a few sips!"
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
that's all.....
Su Zhengnan ate roast duck at Quanjude with Deng Changfeng and others, chatting casually, and soon became familiar with the other teachers.
However, the lunch didn't last long.
Because Deng Changfeng had two more classes to teach, he drove Su Zhengnan and Zhou Zixuan back to the Beijing Film Academy after lunch.
Su Zhengnan thanked Deng Changfeng for treating him to dinner today, and then took Zhou Zixuan back to the school clinic.
It was only a little before 3:30 in the afternoon!
As soon as he returned to the school clinic, Su Zhengnan sat down at his desk and quickly logged onto the auction website to check the current auction prices.
The auction webpage displayed:

"Wow, the auction price has already exceeded ten million?"
Su Zhengnan's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but marvel at how many nouveau riche there were in the capital. They really didn't treat money like money!
Keep in mind this was only in 2004!
It's not even twenty years from now!
