The old saying is true: not listening to the advice of elders leads to imdiate losses, and this really holds true.
Lu Xuan felt that if he had always kept his mother's advice in mind, he wouldn't have offended Liu Rong from the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine.
However, speaking of it, if he hadn't left the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine, he might not have experienced what he has after coming to the Health Center.
A loss may turn out to be a gain.
A bad situation suddenly turned into a good one.
But thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt a bit troubled, as his parents still didn't know about his leaving the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine, and this matter couldn't be hidden for long. Sooner or later, it would have to be said, otherwise when his parents found out on their own, it would beco a huge issue.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and told the truth: "Mom, actually, there's sothing I've been afraid to tell you."
"Go ahead, it's okay, even if the sky falls, your mom will hold it up for you."
"I left the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine and went to the Health Center." Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
After saying this, Lu Xuan could obviously feel the breathing on the other end of the phone had beco sowhat stagnant.
After a while, there was still no sound, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"N-Nothing."
Lin Fangling pretended to be okay and said, "The Health Center is also quite good."
Lin Fangling didn't ask Lu Xuan why.
Maybe, after coming to the Health Center, Lu Xuan's future prospects wouldn't be as good as at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine. But to her, it didn't matter as long as her son was well.
Also, Lin Fangling wasn't foolish. She could tell from Lu Xuan's relaxed tone when he ntioned it that this matter didn't really affect him negatively, so there was no need to ask further.
But Lu Xuan didn't think so.
He had already co to the Health Center, so how could his mother not mind? Thus, he comforted, "Mom, you don't have to worry, I'm doing well at the Health Center. Currently, I'm also the head of the Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt here. I get the chance to see patients and accumulate clinical experience. In the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine, I didn't even get to feel a patient's pulse for half a year. Compared to that, the Health Center is much better."
"Mm-hmm!"
Lin Fangling responded repeatedly, "As long as you're happy, then mom is fine."
As she said this, her expression suddenly changed: "I'll talk to you later, your dad is back."
After speaking, she didn't give Lu Xuan a chance to speak and directly put the phone aside.
However, it seed Lin Fangling forgot to hang up the phone, and Lu Xuan could faintly hear the sound of the door opening and a hearty laugh coming from the receiver.
Alongside it, there was also his mother Lin Fangling's complaints.
"I told you to co back early, but it's like I didn't say anything."
"Isn't the clinic busy?"
It was evident that Lu Guoquan was in a good mood today.
"The weather hasn't been great recently, so many people are sick. Naturally, there are more patients, and many people are too lazy to go to the hospital; getting an appointnt is too troubleso. Our clinic is much more convenient."
"You're just full of yourself."
Lin Fangling couldn't help but scold.
Lu Guoquan changed his shoes and suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard you talking inside when I was outside, who were you on the phone with?"
"I was talking to our son," Lin Fangling replied irritably.
Lu Guoquan didn't care about his wife's attitude. After changing his shoes, he went straight to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip of tea before saying, "Fangling, I saw your tense expression just now, did sothing happen to our son?"
"N—Nothing," Lin Fangling waved her hands quickly.
Having been married for decades, how could Lu Guoquan not know Lin Fangling? He shook his head and said, "Don't bother lying to , you're not cut out for lying."
Hearing this, Lin Fangling imdiately rolled her eyes at Lu Guoquan: "As if you're so great!"
Lu Guoquan gave a sheepish smile and said nothing.
Lin Fangling sighed, her face no longer had the earlier ease but was now full of worry: "I can tell you, but you must not lose your temper, especially with your son."
Lu Guoquan stayed silent for a mont and then nodded in agreent: "Alright, I promise not to lose my temper."
"If you dare lose your temper, I'll shut your clinic down!"
Lu Guoquan: "..."
What did my clinic ever do to you?
Lin Fangling sighed and said, "Our son left the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine for the Health Center."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guoquan stood up in shock with his voice incredibly loud, and his face full of surprise: "What's going on? Why would our son leave the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine for the Health Center?"
He really couldn't comprehend.
Everything was going well, and they had confird he'd go to the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine. Now soone was telling him that his son went to the Health Center. Who wouldn't be confused?
Lin Fangling directly pushed him back onto the sofa: "I told you not to worry, I didn't ask the details, just heard a bit from our son, but I can tell from his tone that it shouldn't be a bad thing."
"Not a bad thing?"
Lu Guoquan sneered: "Going to the Health Center isn't a bad thing?"
"What kind of place is the Health Center? How many doctors there have ever made it out?"
"No, I need to ask what's really going on here, why did he leave the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine for the Health Center? It completely defies logic!"
As Lu Guoquan spoke, he got up to grab the phone.
Lin Fangling quickly stopped him, only to discover that her phone seed to have not been hung up, and her complexion imdiately changed.
On Lu Xuan's end, hearing his parents getting anxious and upset over his move to the Health Center, he loudly called out a few tis.
Lu Guoquan heard his son's voice from the phone and took it in hand while Lin Fangling was briefly distracted, pressing it to his ear and said, "Son, is what your mom said true?"
"What exactly happened?"
Lu Xuan had no choice but to recount his offense to Liu Rong, and before he could elaborate further, Lu Guoquan's words of disappointnt ca rushing head-on: "I told you long ago to co back to the ho County Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine. There, I could still try and pull so strings for you, but you insisted on staying in Yong City, and now look, you lost your job at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine and went to so Health Center."
"The Health Center in our ho county barely sees a soul, hasn't as many patients as my clinic does."
Lu Xuan didn't know how to explain to his father, who probably wouldn't believe it anyway, so he could only try to reassure him as much as possible: "Dad, don't worry. I'm doing well at the Health Center; we have a lot of patients here in the Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt every day, and I'm now the head of the departnt. It's much better than staying at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine."
"Plus, your son is sowhat well-known now in Yong City, and going to a bigger hospital is just a matter of ti."
Sowhat well-known?
Lu Guoquan sneered but didn't say anything to dampen his son's spirits and instead sighed, "Alright, alright, if you're at the Health Center, then just stay at the Health Center. If things don't go well, co back, and at worst, I'll pull so strings to get you into the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine. If you don't want to go there, my clinic can be converted into a Traditional Chinese dicine clinic. You don't have to worry."
Lu Xuan's eyes beca slightly red.
Although his father's temper was sowhat bad and his nature rather impatient, which father doesn't care for his son? It's just that n aren't as adept at expressing emotions as won are, tending to be straightforward instead.
That clinic was essentially his father's life's work. Over the years, Lin Fangling had ntioned closing it countless tis, but Lu Guoquan never did. Yet now, upon learning that his son had moved to the Health Center, he was ready to convert it into a Traditional Chinese dicine clinic without a second thought.
A father's love is always so heavy.
Impossible to refuse.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath: "It's not necessary now. If it really doesn't work out, I'll co back to inherit the family clinic."
"But for now, Dad, I won't keep you on. I've already delayed quite a bit, and I still have sothing to do."
Lu Xuan glanced at the ti, noticing that he was already a bit late for a scheduled appointnt.
At this mont, a group of people was probably waiting for him, and it wouldn't do to be overly late.
"What kind of urgent matter is there this late at night?"
Lu Guoquan said grumpily, "Is it so urgent that you can't talk to your parents a bit longer?"
"It's nothing; it's just that the City Ninth Hospital invited for a consultation on a patient," Lu Xuan casually replied.
On the other end of the line, there was sudden silence.
The City Ninth Hospital invited my son for a consultation on a patient?
Lu Guoquan suddenly felt his brain wasn't functioning correctly.
Could it be that… my son is fooling ?
He's just a doctor at a Health Center and a recent graduate at that. Would the City Ninth Hospital invite him for a consultation?
And… an invitation?
