"Are you planning to turn that building into a traditional Chinese medicine studio?"

Shen Congli's face instantly froze with curiosity upon hearing these words.

Hu Meiqiao's sudden decision left Shen Congli not only stunned but almost feeling as if she were listening to a story.

Shen Congli held her phone for quite a while before reacting to Hu Meiqiao's crazy decision, "Are you insane? That's a five-story building, and you're crazy enough to turn it into someone's studio? The district health bureau over there will never agree."

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

Hu Meiqiao knew it was very challenging, but she didn't think too much about it. How can you know if something is impossible without trying?

Indeed.

The likelihood of the district health bureau agreeing wasn't high, but she no longer cared much in order to keep Lu Xuan and turn the Health Center's traditional Chinese medicine department into a standout. At worst, she would risk her old face and go to the district health bureau to cause a ruckus every day.

"You're really crazy."

Shen Congli repeated the same words.

"You may think I'm crazy, but I believe in Lu Xuan's abilities. If we can keep him, with his skills, he will eventually attract many highly-skilled Chinese medicine practitioners to join the Health Center and his studio."

Hu Meiqiao was convinced of this.

Shen Congli knew that no one could change Hu Meiqiao's decision, and with her tenacious character, she might actually accomplish it. In the end, she could only sigh and say, "For someone who makes Hu Meiqiao go this crazy, I no longer doubt his abilities. I'm just afraid that once he becomes famous, he'll leave, and by then, you'll be left with nothing."

"Using that building, and in the end, if he leaves, your term as director might also come to an end."

"If I really can't keep him, then it's my own lack of ability to blame, not his choice to leave." Hu Meiqiao had an open-minded attitude.

"That's right, that's the Hu Meiqiao I know."

Shen Congli realized she couldn't persuade her old classmate, "How about this, send me the registration data of the Health Center's traditional Chinese medicine department later, you can hide the patients' names. I'll take a look, and give you an answer tomorrow."

"I'll send it to you right away."

Shen Congli: "..."

"Old classmate, you were prepared for this!"

Hu Meiqiao laughed, "It's not that I was prepared in advance. I just simply believe that Lu Xuan has the ability to see patients at United South, that's all. If he didn't have the ability, I wouldn't have brought it up."

"Alright, just send it over. I won't nap at noon so I can take a look at it, and I'll ask the person in charge of United South in the afternoon." Shen Congli looked exasperated.

"Old classmate, I won't say anything extra, thank you this time, I'll treat you to dinner over the weekend."

Not chatting much longer with Shen Congli, the two hung up the phone, and Hu Meiqiao directly sent the materials through the government chat software.

Just after sending it, Hu Meiqiao saw the read receipt.

Shen Congli sent an "ok" in return.

Hu Meiqiao responded with a "fist bump" emoji.

Moving her gaze away from the government chat software, Hu Meiqiao opened a Word document on her computer desktop.

"Qiu City Street Health Center's Application to Start a New Medical Office for a Traditional Chinese Medicine Studio"

...

Afternoon.

With a quarter of an hour before work, Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen had already woken up. They came out to wash their faces and freshen up, only to find that Su Kenan had already turned on the light in the consultation room and was sitting there.

"How long have you been here?" Lu Xuan asked.

Su Kenan softly replied, "Not long."

"Wait a moment, I'll wash my face, and we'll start a bit early to try to finish up sooner this afternoon." After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he turned and walked to the restroom.

Although there was a sink in the consultation room, it was a small space, and water would easily get on the floor, so the restroom was much better for that, and it allowed for a quick bathroom break.

Ji Xiuwen smiled at Su Kenan, then quickly followed along.

Washing their faces and finishing up only took two or three minutes.

Back in the consultation room, Lu Xuan glanced at Ji Xiuwen, "Ready?"

"Ready."

Lu Xuan nodded and looked at Su Kenan, "Let's start calling numbers then."

Su Kenan opened the calling system and clicked start.

In no time, the sound of numbers being called echoed through the lobby.

The staff in the testing department had just arrived at their posts, and since work hadn't officially started, they were chatting about various interesting topics. Hearing the calling from the traditional Chinese medicine department, Li couldn't help but glance at the clock on the wall, "Wow, there's almost twenty minutes until work starts, and Dr. Lu is already beginning. He's too diligent; it's one thing for his medical skills to be so amazing, but he's this dedicated, it's like he's leaving other doctors without any room to breathe!"

Overtime work and extra appointments...

Lu Xuan didn't miss a single thing that other doctors were unwilling to do.

No wonder that the patients who came here would complain about doctors in big hospitals.

Patients who understand are easy to come by, but doctors as responsible as Lu Xuan are rare.

However, Li's musings led to a gentle smack across the head from Wang Youqing, the head of the testing department, "Alright, stop babbling, use your spare time to study more, aim to pass the attending physician exam, then you won't have to draw blood for others anymore."

Hearing about the attending physician exam, Li felt a wave of frustration, "Uncle, it's tough. It's not that easy to pass!"

"And look at me, what if I pass the exam and still can't treat patients? What if people come get my number and I end up drawing their blood instead?"

"You're just full of talk," Wang Youqing said, exasperated.

Li laughed heartily, "But seriously, Uncle, Dr. Lu is really a prodigy, too amazing. You couldn't be this skilled at traditional Chinese medicine even from birth!"
