Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 162 - Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Association

Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Association

“Fine, then I’ll do the talking, what are you doing in Hu City this time?”

“Further training.”

“Which hospital? Can you talk about it in detail?”

“I can’t.” She said politely.

“You’re really stingy, or should I talk about myself? I’ve invested in a Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute in Hu City, which seems to match your field, right?”

“Kind of.”

“Then maybe we can collaborate.”

“I’m just a small doctor, I can’t collaborate.”

Bai Anzhi asked her a few more questions, to which she responded perfunctorily. It’s not like he could always talk about himself.

Seeing that she really wasn’t interested in him, he simply said, “It seems the movie is more attractive, you might as well just watch your movie.”

She resumed playing the movie without hesitation.

Bai Anzhi: “…”

…

Su Meixi watched the movie while Bai Anzhi listened to music next to her until the captain announced the plane was preparing to land, asking everyone to stow their tray tables and adjust their seats.

The two didn’t speak during this time.

When the plane was landing, the lights went off, and there was a bit of turbulence. In that moment, Su Meixi felt the familiar pressure in her chest.

She clutched her chest, taking deep breaths.

Bai Anzhi noticed and quickly asked her, “Are you feeling unwell?”

She shook her head, “No, don’t worry about me.”

Yet, he reached out and patted her back, “You’re afraid of flying, right? Don’t worry, it’ll be fine once we land.”

That actually felt quite comforting, and the pressure in Su Meixi’s chest eased a bit.

Passengers in business class disembarked first.

The flight attendants would help them with their luggage.

It was already late at night, and Bai Anzhi caught up with Su Meixi, “It’s so late, may I give you a ride? I have a private car outside.”

“Thank you, but I can just take a taxi.” Su Meixi replied.

Bai Anzhi was puzzled, “You’re the wife of the Second Young Mr. Gu of the Gu Family, why travel so modestly? Didn’t Gu Wei give you any money?”

Su Meixi laughed, “The pandas from Chuan district, even when in the sweltering Guang City, still like to lay on ice. It’s the same for people, once used to saving, it’s hard to be wasteful.”

“The key is your safety, would Gu Wei be comfortable with you taking a taxi alone to a hotel in the middle of the night?”

“Do you know what I like most about Gu Wei? He respects me a lot. Not just going to a hotel at midnight, even if I wanted to go to the border by myself, as long as I wished, he wouldn’t object. Goodbye, Mr. Bai, and thank you for your concern and your business class seat.”

After speaking, Su Meixi walked to the exit, pulling her suitcase.

Bai Anzhi stood behind, watching her silhouette.

She was dressed casually, but her loose shirt couldn’t hide her graceful figure. She had a good waist-to-hip ratio; although not especially tall, her legs were long, giving her the demeanor of a delicate lady from southern Jiangnan, as if she were wearing a cheongsam.

He mulled over her words: Gu Wei really respects her!

After a while, he spit out, “Gu Wei, that man, only knows how to be scheming, appearing righteous on the surface but actually being very cunning.”

…

Hu City, Xin Ren Hospital.

Although this hospital was private, its good reputation and abundance of specialists attracted many people to seek treatment there, especially for complicated illnesses.

Later, the hospital’s board decided to do a public service by adopting the same treatment model as public hospitals, allowing citizens to make appointments and integrating the medical insurance system.

Many people regarded it as a public hospital, still complaining about the prices. Therefore, the board held another meeting to categorize doctors based on their qualifications, allowing patients to choose according to their means, the level of service differing with each category.

Thus, the hospital also hired some general practitioners and collaborated and exchanged with other hospitals.

Su Meixi was there for training; she was assigned to the pain management department, first to shadow a senior doctor for a while, then she might be scheduled for independent consultations.

As expected from one of the top hospitals in Hu City, she realized her shortcomings upon arrival. The system here was advanced, and they had many cases she had never encountered.

So, after her arrival, she worked hard every day, following the senior doctor to see patients, carefully writing medical records, and making summaries.

One day, the senior doctor sent her to the inpatient department to pick up a profile, and she went.

She walked out in a hurry and, upon exiting, ran into a family member who was rushing to get on the elevator. The family member bumped into her, scattering her documents all over the floor.

She hurried to pick them up.

At that moment, Qiu Yurou walked by her.

Of course, Qiu Yurou didn’t notice her; she only saw a doctor with a mask squatting on the ground picking up papers, with a somewhat familiar figure. Yet at this age, most women’s figures looked quite similar.

Qiu Yurou was in a rush to take care of Gu Wei.

Gu Wei’s condition had improved somewhat today, so she went back to her hotel to shower and rest for a while, leaving Wan Manyu at the hospital to care for Gu Wei.

She took the elevator up to the ward.

In the ward, Wan Manyu was helping Gu Wei drink water.

Gu Wei leaned against the bed rail while Wan Manyu patiently fed him spoon by spoon.

Initially, he couldn’t eat and had to receive nutrition intravenously, but these last couple of days he could consume some liquid food; he even managed to have some rice porridge in the morning and drink a bit of milk.

Qiu Yurou was deeply moved as she watched Wan Manyu feeding Gu Wei with such patience.

If only Manman were her daughter-in-law.

She walked over to Wan Manyu, and even though she knew Gu Wei couldn’t hear her, she still lowered her voice, “Manman, you’ve worked hard.”

“Godmother, it’s nothing, the important thing is for Gu Wei to recover quickly.”

Qiu Yurou then took Gu Wei’s hand and looked at Wan Manyu.

These past few days, she had asked Wan Manyu to hold Gu Wei’s hand, and Wan Manyu hadn’t objected, which showed that he was in her heart.

Especially since Wan Manyu sometimes blushed when interacting with Gu Wei, but she didn’t resist being close to him.

So Qiu Yurou truly regretted not bringing Wan Manyu to meet Gu Wei sooner, which would’ve prevented Su Meixi from getting there first.

…

Because Su Meixi needed to study, she would be in a tense state during the daytime; she actually liked that state.

It meant she wouldn’t feel that oppressive sensation.

However, if she wasn’t on call in the inpatient department, she would have to return to the dormitory after work.

She was reluctant to rent a place outside, too lazy to search, and didn’t want to commute, so she lived in the hospital dormitory.

Everything about this hospital was satisfactory except for the living accommodations—she had to pay for them herself, so she simply paid for a single room.

Back in her dormitory, she still felt a sense of chest tightness.

She couldn’t explain why.

Perhaps she would have to make time to do a breast examination at the hospital tomorrow.

Women’s chest tightness is often related to breast issues.

…

The next morning, her senior doctor arranged for her to attend a meeting in his place.

Dr. Lu was 65 years old, an experienced doctor who had returned after retirement.

He had joined the Chinese Medicine Association in Hu City long ago and was a director of some sort within the association. They had a meeting today, and since he had patient duties he couldn’t neglect, he simply asked Su Meixi to go in his stead.

“Dr. Lu, is it really okay for me to go?” Su Meixi asked.

Dr. Lu laughed heartily, “It’s just a meeting; you don’t need to be nervous. Just go there, eat what you want, and drink what you want.”

So Su Meixi went on behalf of Dr. Lu.

…

The association had funding, and those who studied traditional Chinese medicine liked to drink tea, so the meeting took place in a teahouse.

Inside, there were both men and women, some of them quite young.

Su Meixi was of average age among them. After she arrived, she first informed the receptionist that she was there in place of Dr. Lu, and the receptionist announced, “Here comes the beauty; she’s Dr. Lu’s apprentice.”

Su Meixi quickly said, “Not really an apprentice, just temporarily under his guidance.”

Chinese medicine values inheritance and schools, and taking a master is a solemn matter; she didn’t dare hastily claim a master.

However, a woman with her appearance was definitely popular regardless.

Many people had already gathered around to chat with her.

Socializing is like this; when people see a pretty woman, many are initially interested, but there’s a magnetic field between people. When some discover that the magnetic fields don’t match, they’ll leave, and those who stay are usually the ones with compatible magnetic fields.

A lady about the same age as Su Meixi said, “Our meeting is mainly to discuss issues of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute. Some want to bring together all of Hu City’s Chinese medicine practitioners to see if we can form a unified scholarship.”
