Lu Xuan, who was still eating breakfast, was startled when the boss suddenly grabbed him, causing the at bun he had just picked up with his chopsticks to fall to the ground and roll away irretrievably.
Turning his head, Lu Xuan saw it was the boss who had ntioned earlier that he would bring his elderly mother to the Health Center for a check-up. Frowning, he asked, "What’s wrong?"
"A kindergarten teacher at Cow Eating Grass seems to have a health issue. She looks really unwell, and I heard people saying she’s about to die."
"What’s happening?"
"I don’t know either. I just noticed so commotion inside and asked about it."
"Dr. Lu, you should go take a look. The teacher’s condition seems quite serious; many custors are too scared to stay in Cow Eating Grass."
Lu Xuan looked in the direction the boss was pointing and indeed saw many people hastily leaving, carrying their things, looking a bit distressed, whispering among themselves.
Lu Xuan’s expression changed. After exchanging a glance with Ji Xiuwen, he quickly put down his chopsticks: "Let’s go and have a look."
With that, he got up and ran towards Cow Eating Grass.
Ji Xiuwen didn’t delay, shouting to the breakfast shop owner, "Boss, don’t clean up yet. I’ll be back soon."
Before the breakfast shop owner could react, Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen had already run out of sight.
However, seeing another shop owner present, he asked, "Old Wu, what’s going on?"
"Dr. Lu ran off to save soone. He said not to clean up yet because they’ll be back to eat. The problem is with a female teacher over at Cow Eating Grass, looks like she might not make it."
"Is it serious?"
"I don’t know, I didn’t dare to go inside and look."
"Alright, I’ll just retrieve the things first, or they might get dirty with so many people walking around. I’ll serve Dr. Lu a new portion later."
Old Wu gave the breakfast shop owner a thumbs up, "Old Qi, that’s generous of you."
Old Qi blushed, "What’s generous about it? Dr. Lu didn’t even have a chance to eat before rushing off to save soone. We may not be able to save people, but we can handle these small matters we can do."
Old Wu and Old Qi both run shops opposite the Health Center and have been for many years, not having much acquaintance with the doctors there. After all, no famous doctor erged from the Health Center over the years.
That was until Lu Xuan ca along, and his reputation grew day by day. Many people even co from other parts of the city to see him, and many of them dine at their shops.
During this ti, they’ve heard Lu Xuan’s na countless tis from those patients.
Initially, they didn’t think much of it.
Just figured, what’s so great about a doctor from the Health Center, maybe it’s all just hype.
But as ti passed, more and more people started recomnding Dr. Lu to others, and then they decided to learn more about him.
What they didn’t know was that upon closer inspection, they were taken aback.
The young man, who they thought would be of little skill, was actually using his superb dical skills to save one patient after another, including several that other hospitals were helpless with, yet Lu Xuan handled with ease.
Since then, everyone running stores near the Health Center knew that the Traditional Chinese dicine departnt had a remarkable Dr. Lu.
Skilled in dicine, saving countless lives, he beca a particularly respected practitioner in everyone’s eyes.
Now that Lu Xuan had gone to save soone, Old Qi saw it as a great opportunity!
A couple of days ago, he had heard Old Wu wanted to waive Lu Xuan’s al fees but failed and instead got lectured by Dr. Lu.
But this ti it’s different; he hasn’t even finished his food yet. Just co up with any excuse, say soone accidentally dirtied it, and serve a new portion. What reason would Dr. Lu have to refuse?
After all, we have a legitimate reason!
No intent to bribe Dr. Lu whatsoever.
Thinking of this, Old Qi’s face broke into a broad smile.
Businessn, few are fools. Seeing Old Qi’s grin like a flowering chrysanthemum, Old Wu imdiately knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but be envious.
Last ti, he tried to cozy up to Dr. Lu Xuan but ended up being lectured. Now seeing Old Qi hit upon such a good opportunity, he felt a pang of jealousy, "I might as well switch to running a breakfast shop myself."
Old Qi, understanding Old Wu’s frustration, quickly comforted him, "Old Wu, don’t feel bad. I just got lucky this ti. Besides, Dr. Lu might not even co back."
"Maybe Dr. Lu is already full." Old Wu smiled.
Old Qi’s face fell instantly, "Old Wu, can’t you wish people well? Finally hit such a good opportunity, and you say that. Next ti, I’ll treat you to a al."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Just having you say that is fine, let’s have a drink next ti."
"I’ll take the vegetables back to let the wife prep a bit, then go see what happened. Hope the young lady is okay."
Old Qi laughed, "With Dr. Lu there, how could anything go wrong?"
"That’s true." Old Wu agreed with a chuckle.
Their opinion of Lu Xuan was extrely consistent. Was there any illness that Dr. Lu couldn’t cure?
Even if King Yama ca across Dr. Lu, he’d have to detour.
The two didn’t chat much more. Old Wu hastily took the purchased vegetables back before heading straight to Cow Eating Grass.
anwhile, in the Cow Eating Grass store.
As soon as Lu Xuan entered, a patient who had co by today to see him greeted him, "Dr. Lu!"
