"Don’t worry, I know what you’ve taught , Master. If anything confuses , I’ll consult you again. You’ve had a long day too, so you should rest early. Oh, have you had dinner yet? Otherwise, shall I make sothing for you?"
"What’s this, you’re even offering to cook? If I had brought you here, wouldn’t I have really hit the jackpot? To think, I’d have gained an assistant too?"
"Master, what are you talking about? It’s just that in the past, when I was with Grandpa, sotis he’d get so absorbed in his research that he’d forget the ti. So, if I was free, I’d cook so als for him—simple dishes, those are no problem; complicated ones, I definitely wouldn’t manage."
"All right, no need for that, I’ll do it. You’re here as an apprentice, and don’t worry, I’ll pay you a regular salary. Moreover, I won’t make you work for nothing."
"No need, no need, I’m just an intern at the mont. Besides, we don’t expect to be paid during our internships, so you don’t need to pay . As long as I have food to eat and a place to stay here, I’m already very contented."
"Fine, I know what to do, so you don’t have to worry about these things. Okay, it’s getting late, you should go now and rest up for tomorrow morning. Rember to co over early; I have to rush to the town first thing."
"Okay, I got it, Master. Then I’ll be off now."
After finishing the conversation, he rely greeted and then swiftly left the place. Watching his departing figure, Liu Zheng just nodded with reassurance.
It seed like he might finally have soone to help share the burden of his responsibilities, not just at the village committee but even at the health clinic, where he could start focusing his attention on other matters.
At the very least, Liu Zheng saw hope, and it wasn’t a hopeless situation.
The day had passed safely amidst the hustle and bustle.
In fact, Liu Zheng was still wrapped in worry and concern over the condition of the child in the hospital.
Just as he was about to call Director Xiao for an update, they heard soone knocking on the door from outside.
It was late, which suggested that an ergency patient had sought him out. Fortunately, he had returned in good ti.
Furthermore, he really wasn’t sure whether Liu Yang alone could handle such ergency cases properly.
"Coming."
Liu Zheng responded and then went to open the door. However, when he saw who was outside, he indeed was startled for a mont.
It was a middle-aged man around 50, wearing gold-rimd glasses. But from his dress and deanor, he seed not likely to be a local.
"May I ask who you are? Are you looking for ?"
"Ha-ha, Doctor Liu, you’ve forgotten already?"
No sooner had the man spoken than Liu Zheng felt a déjà vu, as if he had heard this voice before.
His mind whirled, trying to recall when he had heard this voice.
Suddenly, the scene from the operating room that morning flashed through Liu Zheng’s mind.
The lead surgeon, Doctor Wang, had a voice very similar to that of the man before him, only at that ti, he was fully geared with a mask on, and his real face couldn’t be seen.
Now, Liu Zheng peered more closely and realized that the eyes and the area between the brows did indeed bear a resemblance.
"You, you’re Doctor Wang?"
"Sorry about that, we t during the surgery today, and I didn’t get a chance to show you my face without the mask. Yes, I am Wang Dazhong."
"Ah, Doctor Wang, co in, please do co in."
While in the operating room that day, he had clearly felt this doctor looked down on him, but in the end, his dical skills had genuinely won him over.
As there might be occasions for them to et and interact in the future, Liu Zheng had no desire to sour relations unnecessarily.
He warmly invited Doctor Wang into his clinic.
Upon entering, Doctor Wang just wandered around with his hands behind his back.
The clinic wasn’t much like what he had imagined. In fact, it was really as simple as could be.
It was just that at the cabinet where items were stored, he noticed many unlabelled jars and containers, each marked in a special way.
Apart from these, he didn’t see the usual drugs found in hospitals, indicating that all his dications must’ve been made by him.
"Are these the dicines you usually give to the villagers?"
"Ha-ha, Doctor Wang, sorry for the modest display. These might look like no-na products to you, but they are indeed developed by , without any side effects. Rest assured, I’ve been practicing dicine here for many years without a single accident."
"That’s fine, don’t be so tense. I’m not here with other intentions, nor am I here to investigate this matter. I just feel your clinic is very secretive—at least from appearances, it’s cloaked in mystery."
"Ha-ha, Doctor Wang, you really have a way with words. Ah, please, have a seat. The place is small and can’t accommodate much. Usually, this space is for consultations, and there’s a room inside where I rest at night. I’ll get you a glass of water."
"No need for formality, Doctor Liu. I’m just here because I was reminiscing about what happened this morning and wanted to co and see for myself. I didn’t an anything by it."
"Oh, I’m really sorry, I have many chores to attend to, so I simply didn’t have the ti to wait for you at the hospital. Director Xiao already conveyed your request to et , but I just can’t spare the ti."
"No worries at all, I understand. Doctor Liu, you seem quite young?"
"I’m reasonably young, already in my thirties this year.
"In your thirties, and yet so accomplished in the field of dicine—when did you start studying? And which university did you graduate from?"
