A female clerk in her thirties is sitting behind the counter with one hand supporting her chin, listlessly watching if there are any customers coming in.

Look at the time, there are still two hours before the end of work, and when the female clerk is bored, she begins to have a plan for where to take the child and her husband to eat for dinner. But at this moment, two young men, a man and a woman, came in through the door.

The woman is tall, wearing a light green dress, snow-white skin, pointed chin and big eyes, a typical temperament beauty, but there is no smile on her face, and her expression as if she is frozen gives people a cold and noble feeling. The man is long, facing the ordinary, and there is a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time, giving people a very cordial and kind feeling, but a pair of deep and sharp eyes, as if they can see through the appearance of a thing in the world, insight into its inner essence, which undoubtedly adds a touch of mystery to the young man.

Seeing the words of the two, the female clerk's eyes lit up slightly, after all, they were handsome guys and beautiful women, although they were past their age and their children were already in kindergarten, but it did not affect her to look at them with appreciation.

When the two approached, the female clerk straightened up a little and asked, "Are you two buying medicine or seeing a doctor?" ”

"I don't buy medicine and I don't see a doctor." Yuan Xinyi said expressionlessly.

The female clerk was suddenly unhappy when she saw Yuan Xinyi's expression, how could this woman put on a stinky face to show others, it was hard to understand that she had just quarreled with someone?

"And what are you doing here?" The female clerk asked rhetorically, her tone slightly colder.

This time, without waiting for Yuan Xinyi to speak, Lin Yi hurriedly replied with a smile: "We want to find Liu Guodong, Old Doctor Liu." ”

"What are you looking for him?" The female clerk saw that Lin Yi was quite pleasing to the eye, and the unhappiness in her heart slowly eased.

"I want to buy him a pair of silver needles for acupuncture." Lin Yi said the purpose of this time.

"Buy a silver needle?" The female clerk looked at Lin Yi a lot more pleasing to the eye, "You are a TCM intern, I didn't expect to choose TCM at a young age, it's not easy!" However, Dr. Lau is not there now. He had been here once in the morning, and he had gone back at breakfast, and he hadn't come yet. ”

"When is he coming?" Yuan Xinyi interjected, her tone still cold.

The female clerk gave her a blank look and said, "If you ask me, I will ask, sometimes he will come after work, and sometimes he will not come." ”

Lin Yi looked at Yuan Xinyi: "Then what should I do?" ”

Yuan Xinyi didn't answer Lin Yi's words, but said again: "Please help me call Dr. Liu, just say that Xiao Guobao from the First Hospital has something to trouble him." ”

"Xiao Guobao? Isn't it President Xiao of the First Hospital? ”

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.

Although the female clerk is not Liu Guodong's apprentice, she has been in the store for so long, and she still knows the situation of the major hospitals in Haikou very well, so she can't help but be impressed by Yuan Xinyi, and also restrain the displeasure in her heart and her indifference to Yuan Xinyi, and ask seriously: "Are you doctors or nurses from the First Hospital?" ”

The two didn't bother to explain, Lin Yi replied, "Yes, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Okay, I'll call." The female clerk picked up the landline on the counter and immediately dialed Liu Guodong's phone number.

"Xiao Zhou, what's the matter with calling me at this time?" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of anger.

"Doctor Liu, two doctors from the First Hospital came to the store, saying that Dean Xiao Guobao was looking for you, please come to the store."

"Xiao Guobao, what is he looking for me? Okay, I see, tell them, I'll be there in half an hour. ”

The female clerk named "Xiao Zhou" hung up the phone and said politely to the two: "You can sit over there for a while, Dr. Liu will be there in half an hour." She said, gesturing to a round glass coffee table and two stools on the west side.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Xiao Zhou realized that although Lin Yi had an ordinary appearance, with a good temperament, he still looked very attractive, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

The two sat down at the coffee table, Xiao Zhou poured a cup of tea for each person, and then returned to the counter on duty.

Lin Yi and Yuan Xinyi chatted casually, but stopped talking because they didn't have anything to talk about, and each took out their mobile phones to play.

In less than half an hour, an old man with a tall and thin figure and white hair rushed in, his forehead was covered with sweat, but he looked childish, energetic, and walked in a hurry, but he was very steady. Because of his thinness, his cheekbones are very high, and he has the taste of fairy wind bones.

Seeing the old man come in, the clerk was overjoyed: "Doctor Liu, you are here!" ”

Liu Guodong nodded, he didn't need to ask Xiao Zhou, he had already seen the two people sitting at the coffee table, so he strode up.

Yuan Xinyi and Lin Yi immediately stood up. Yuan Xinyi greeted politely: "Hello Doctor Liu." She still respects this kind of skilled old Chinese medicine practitioner very much.

Lin Yi also said hello, and Liu Guodong smiled at Yuan Xinyi: "Doctor Yuan, why are you free to come over, who is this?" He turned his gaze to Lin Yi, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Oh. This is Dr. Lim Yat Lam, who is also a Chinese medicine practitioner. Yuan Xinyi introduced. If you follow the introduction of other women, you will definitely say, "He is also a very powerful Chinese medicine doctor, and he has also cured xxx seriously ill patients!" However, Yuan Xinyi didn't bother to say such things, so Liu Guodong didn't pay attention, just looked at Lin Yi a little, and said: "Young man, it's not easy to choose the path of Chinese medicine at such a young age!" ”

Lin Yi knew what Xiao Guobao wanted to express, so he smiled: "Although Chinese medicine is depressed and there are not many people who choose Western medicine, it does not mean that it is declining. This is a treasure of 5,000 years in China, and it cannot be slowly forgotten by the world. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Guobao couldn't help but become interested in Lin Yi, and said with a smile: "That's right, if other people who study medicine think like you, it won't be far from the prosperity of Chinese medicine." Xiaolin, you don't mind if I call you that, do you? ”

"Don't mind." Lin Yi smiled indifferently.

"Well, that's good. Xiaolin, are you a Chinese medicine practitioner who has just entered the First Hospital? Because he saw Lin Yi and Yuan Xinyi coming over together, and Yuan Xinyi introduced him as Dr. Lin when he introduced him, Liu Guodong couldn't help but think about it.

Lin Yi smiled: "No, I don't have a job now." ”

Liu Guodong frowned, and after two sentences, he had a good impression of this young man, but when he heard that he didn't go to work, he couldn't help but wonder, and asked: "Could it be that the first hospital is too demanding in employing people, and Xiao Guobao's old man refuses to use you?" ”

When he said this, Liu Guodong looked at Yuan Xinyi intentionally or unintentionally, in fact, he was a little upset for Lin Yi.

Yuan Xinyi understood what Liu Guodong meant, and said: "It's not that Dean Xiao is unwilling, he even hires the other party with a high salary, it's just that Dr. Lin is proud of himself and is unwilling to come." ”

"Huh?" Liu Guodong was dumbfounded, he and Xiao Guobao had worked together in the same hospital for decades, and he couldn't be more clear about Xiao Guobao's personality, like that arrogant and arrogant iron rooster who regarded money as his life, how could he hire a hairy boy like Lin Yi with a high salary, it must be Yuan Xinyi who was lying.

"Doctor Yuan, you know that Lao Xiao and I have been colleagues for decades, you don't have to deceive me, an old man, Xiao Lin is still young, not to mention that he is studying the most difficult Chinese medicine in medicine, it is normal to not meet your employment conditions, and I don't blame you." Liu Guodong said indifferently, as if he regarded Lin Yi, a colleague, as his apprentice.

Yuan Xinyi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, the last time she came with Dean Xiao, Liu Guodong was quite normal, so when she went home, Dean Xiao mentioned to her that Liu Guodong was a person with a very strange temper, and she still didn't believe it, but looking at it like this, it seems that there is really something weird.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yuan Xinmi's face remained silent and explained: "Dr. Liu misunderstood, what I said is the truth. Dean Xiao not only hired Lin Yi with a high salary, but also personally invited him to eat several meals, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lin Yi himself. As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yi with dissatisfied eyes, as if he blamed him for not accepting the arrangement that Dean Xiao gave him.

Seeing that Yuan Xinyi didn't look like lying, Liu Guodong couldn't help but be taken aback, couldn't help but look at Lin Yi carefully, and then asked solemnly: "Xiaolin, is there really such a thing?" ”

Lin Yi smiled bitterly: "It's already in the past, but I don't think I can take on the heavy responsibility of being an expert in the First Hospital, so I didn't accept it." ”

Liu Guodong was even more surprised when he heard it: "Could it be that what Xiao Yuan said is true, you can make Lao Xiao impress you, and personally invite you to dinner and be hired with a high salary, then your medical skills must be amazing." ”

Lin Yi smiled embarrassedly: "Doctor Liu has won the award." Let's get down to business. ”

"What business." Liu Guodong was stunned.

Lin Yizheng wanted to say that he wanted to buy a pair of silver needles for acupuncture, but before the words came out, Yuan Xinyi hurriedly explained: "That's the case, recently our hospital invited two traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but ordinary acupuncture silver needles can't meet their needs, Dean Xiao knows that you have the best collection of silver needles in the country, so I want to buy two pairs with you." ”

This sycophant shot silently, which made Liu Guodong laugh proudly: "I didn't expect Xiao Guobao, who has always been proud and refused to admit that my traditional Chinese medicine is higher than him, would actually buy silver needles from me, the sun really came out in the west, but why didn't he come in person, and sent the two of you?" What's more, Kobayashi is not yet a doctor at the First Hospital. ”

Yuan Xinyi is usually cold to people, but when it comes to critical occasions, she still knows how to be in a sense of proportion, but the smile on her face is inevitably a little less, and she explained unhurriedly: "Although Lin Yi is not a doctor in our first hospital, he is a good friend of Dean Xiao, and because the hospital has been busy recently, Dean Xiao really can't spare time to visit you, but he said that he will definitely invite you to have a meal when he is free for a while." ”

Liu Guodong raised his eyebrows: "That old thing really said that?" ”

"Yes, that's true." Yuan Xinyi's face did not change color.

Liu Guodong turned his gaze to Lin Yi again, and Yuan Xinyi hurriedly glanced at Lin Yi secretly.

Lin Yi understood, smiled and nodded: "Dean Xiao also said that when the time comes, he will ask you some academic questions, many problems have plagued him recently, and Western medicine has no solution at all, I am afraid that you are the only one who can guide him." ”
