499: Chapter 499: I’m Very Serious 499: Chapter 499: I’m Very Serious “Why do you have so little confidence in yourself?
This is a great opportunity for learning and performance, I think you can do it,” Tangyu said.
“It’s not that.
I am very aware of my own level.
It’s not that I lack confidence, and I know this is a very, very good opportunity for learning and performance.
I truly believe that, if I can seize this opportunity, it will be greatly beneficial for my future developnt.
It could even be said as a turning point in my life, an opportunity for my fortunes to soar.
But—this matter is serious business.
I can’t just go into it with a half-hearted attitude.
Joining the Traditional Chinese dicine team ans having responsibilities and obligations.
If I can’t contribute sothing practical to the team, then I would be too ashad,” Liu Shiyi said.
Tangyu was pleased and admired that Liu Shiyi could think this way and consider the bigger picture.
The more she did so, the more Tangyu wanted to give her this opportunity: “I think your skills are quite good, definitely not worse than anyone else’s.
I believe in you, and that’s enough.
Rest assured, I’ll help you.
I absolutely won’t let you drag anyone down.
And besides, our team for traditional Chinese dicine is already very strong.
We are definitely going to win, so the role you play will actually be very minor.
I together with Rao Yuanzhi, Rao Yuanzhen, and Doctor Xiao will collaborate, so you don’t need to worry about this concern.”
Hearing this, Liu Shiyi hesitated, but truthfully, she was very eager for this opportunity.
It would have a huge impact on her life, she knew that well.
It was a chance to leap through the dragon’s gate.
Opportunities like this co once in a lifeti; seizing it could an a whole new life.
Liu Shiyi wasn’t just considering herself.
She ca from a family steeped in traditional Chinese dicine, had loved it since childhood, and held high expectations placed upon her by her grandfather.
Thus, she had grand ambitions from a young age, and this opportunity was clearly to her benefit to realize the great ambitions in her heart.
She truly did not want to miss out.
With Tangyu’s words, she felt much more reassured.
She deeply believed that with Tangyu, the Divine Needle, and Doctor Xiao involved, there was no fear of losing this Sino-Western dical exchange conference.
“Can—can I really do this?” Liu Shiyi asked.
“Yes, you absolutely can, you definitely can.
Have a little more confidence in yourself.
I know your talents and your dical skills.
If you truly weren’t capable, I wouldn’t recomnd you,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shiyi smiled, rarely having soone so sincerely praise her: “Thank you so much, I never expected to be hit by such a huge pie from the sky, even if one did exist I wouldn’t have thought it would hit .
But today, I’ve actually been hit by one, and it still feels like I’m dreaming, slightly in a daze.
Anyway, Tangyu, thank you very much.
Knowing you is one of the greatest honors of my life; I owe you so much, I probably won’t be able to repay you in this lifeti.”
Tangyu grinned, his smile a bit odd, “You can repay all at once.”
Initially, Liu Shiyi didn’t understand, but after a mont she did, and her face turned red as she gave Tangyu a disgruntled look: “Can’t you be serious for a mont?”
“Haha, no, I’m very serious.
You can take it seriously,” Tangyu said.
“I—I’m not taking you seriously.
You just know how to tease ,” Liu Shiyi said.
“Just joking a bit, I’ve said what I had to.
President Bi ntioned the Sino-Western dical exchange conference is in three days, right?
I guess they’ll call us together tomorrow to discuss the details.
I’ll call you when I have news,” Tangyu said.
“Okay, call anyti.
Won’t you sit for a while longer?
You haven’t even had a drink,” Liu Shiyi nodded.
“No need, I should be going back,” Tangyu imdiately shook his head.
Liu Shiyi teased with a smile: “What, could it be that you’re actually afraid of my grandfather coming back and catching us?”
Tangyu wasn’t afraid.
He just felt embarrassed; last ti, he felt that Liu Shiyi’s grandfather looked at him as if he were seeing his future grandson-in-law.
“Oh, young Tang, haven’t seen you for a few days,” as Tangyu was turning to leave, a robust voice called out, and Mr.
Liu walked in.
“Haha, Grandpa Liu, hello, it has been a few days.
I was just passing by and ca to check on you, but you weren’t here, so I had a chat with Liu Shiyi for a mont.
Now it’s ti for to head back,” Tangyu said with a smile.
Mr.
Liu squinted and smiled at Tangyu: “Don’t rush off.
Weren’t you here to see ?
How co as soon as I arrive, you’re about to leave?
You were here to see my Shiyi, weren’t you?”
“Er—no, both, both,” Tangyu said.
“Haha, I understand the matters of young people, you don’t need to play dumb with .
Young people should spend more ti together, especially at night.
As for the shop, I can manage it myself,” Mr.
Liu said.
Tangyu blinked, slightly startled, especially at night?
What did Mr.
Liu an by that?
Was he suggesting that he should take Liu Shiyi out on evening dates and then not return for the night?
This kind of suggestion from the old man was indeed worth considering.
Liu Shiyi said, “Grandpa, what are you saying?
I don’t like going out at night; it’s unsafe.”
Mr.
Liu said, “See, that’s what I’m talking about.
You stay ho too much.
That’s why you haven’t dated anyone until now.
Look at other girls, always with their boyfriends.
You see, you are not in a hurry, but Grandpa is worried for you.”
“I’m still young, what’s there to hurry about?” Liu Shiyi blushed a little.
Tangyu nodded and said, “Exactly, exactly.
Girls shouldn’t be too much of a hobody.
Being a hobody is a right for boys, not for girls.
Be careful, or it might be difficult to find soone to marry later.”
“Tangyu’s right, so you should take Shiyi out more often,” Grandpa Liu said.
As the two of them spoke in turns, it made Shiyi’s face turn even redder.
There was nothing urgent Shiyi could do but change the subject, “Grandpa, I have so great news to tell you.”
Grandpa Liu’s eyes widened, his face imdiately beaming with a smile.
He looked at Shiyi and Tangyu, “What great news?
Tell your grandpa quickly.
Are you two dating now?
Or, have you two accidentally tasted the forbidden fruit?”
Grandpa Liu’s open-mindedness made Tangyu smile as well, as it was rare for elders to bridge the generation gap with the young so smoothly.
“What are you talking about?
You’re getting more and more outrageous, who’s with him?” Shiyi was at a loss for words: “Tangyu and I are just ordinary friends, Grandpa, where is your mind going?
The great news I’m talking about is that I have been invited by the Traditional Chinese dicine Association to participate in a dical exchange conference between Eastern and Western dicine.”
“Oh, that’s your great news?
You got your grandpa all excited for nothing.
There’s even a Traditional Chinese dicine Association at your school?
Sounds impressive.
Participating in a dical exchange conference is indeed sothing to be happy about; it at least shows that you’re quite outstanding at your school,” Grandpa Liu said sowhat disappointedly.
“…It’s not my school, where would my school have a Traditional Chinese dicine Association?
It’s that Traditional Chinese dicine Association,” Shiyi hurriedly explained.
“Which one is that?
Does Donglin City even have a Traditional Chinese dicine Association?” Grandpa Liu was still not thinking along those lines.
“It’s the Traditional Chinese dicine Association of Huaxia Country, that’s the full na,” Shiyi explained.
Grandpa Liu’s expression suddenly froze, and his eyebrows furrowed deeply as he looked at Shiyi and even reached out to touch her forehead, “What nonsense are you talking about?
It’s not April Fool’s Day today.
Have you been deceived?”
“No, Grandpa, if you don’t believe , ask Tangyu.
He recomnded ,” Shiyi said.
Grandpa Liu imdiately turned towards Tangyu.
If it was Tangyu saying so, he was sowhat inclined to believe it.
“Grandpa Liu, this is true.
Let explain the situation briefly,” Tangyu then summarized the situation to Grandpa Liu.
After hearing Tangyu’s explanation, Grandpa Liu could hardly contain his smile, his face full of excitent.
He tightly grasped Tangyu’s hand for a while before calming down sowhat and said, “Tangyu, you have given my Shiyi a trendously rare opportunity, a once in a century encounter.
I, the old man, don’t even know what to say.
Speaking of which, you don’t have a girlfriend yet, do you?
What do you think of our Shiyi?”
“Grandpa, what are you talking about, he already has a girlfriend.
Tangyu, you were saying you had sothing to attend to, right?
You better hurry, or you’ll be late,” Shiyi was once again speechless, pushing Tangyu slightly, who also didn’t want to stay longer and nodded, “Oh yes, Grandpa Liu, I do have so errands to run, so I must be leaving now.
I’ll visit you again soon.”
“Don’t rush off, sit for a while longer.
Let’s chat so more,” Grandpa Liu said.
However, Tangyu had already made a quick escape from the dicine Hall.
Shaking his head with a smile, Tangyu thought Grandpa Liu was truly a fun old man, having hardly any generation gap with the youngsters.
This reminded Tangyu of his own master, the Ghost Doctor, who also didn’t have much of a generation gap with the young.
After all, he had been in Donglin City for over two months now, the first ti he’d been away from his master for so long; Tangyu indeed missed him quite a bit.
“It’s been a long ti since I called the master.
I might as well call and check on him, and also talk about the Tai Yi Heart Sutra,” Tangyu thought, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a peculiar number.
“You little rascal, why are you calling again?” The phone took a long ti to connect, but as soon as it did, an unhappy voice ca through.
“Er—about that, Master, I just realized I haven’t called you for a while, so I wanted to check up on you,” Tangyu said.
“Check up on what?
Your master is very healthy.
What’s there to check up on?
Didn’t we talk last month?
What, faced so trouble again?
Solve your own problems, don’t co to ; I can’t help you,” the Ghost Doctor retorted.
“…” Tangyu was speechless.
Was this really his master?
“Don’t hang up just yet, Master, I really have sothing important to report to you.
I recently got hold of an ancient scripture nad ‘Tai Yi Heart Sutra.’ It’s a cultivation technique that can cultivate Pure Yang Qi, even more exquisite than the Immortal Finger Technique, nearly two to three tis faster.
However, I know very little about this ancient scripture; do you know anything about it, Master?” Tangyu asked.
“Hmm, what, Tai Yi Heart Sutra?
Such a miraculous technique, well—I can’t say for sure right now, but there might be so clues.
Protect that ancient scripture well.
Once you’ve sorted out your affairs, co back and let take a look.
There might be so leads, perhaps those things really do exist,” the Ghost Doctor replied, sounding quite surprised and solemn.
“Those things?
What things?” Tangyu frowned, also very curious.
“Never mind, don’t ask about these things; it’s beyond what you should know.
Just keep up with your work,” the Ghost Doctor said abruptly and hung up the phone.
Pocketing his phone, Tangyu shook his head, acknowledging that there must be many things in this world that he still didn’t understand.
