Chapter 157 Gu Xinyan's Treat
"Brother Fan, your medical skills are so superb, you must have suffered a lot!" an apprentice asked.
Jiang Lingfu waved his hand at the apprentice:
"Nonsense! Brother Fan's medical skills are superb; he must have put in several times, even ten times, more effort than the average person!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and nodded.
While cultivating martial arts in the Nine Netherworlds, he also devoted hundreds of years to medical skills, naturally enduring a lot of hardship along the way.
Just as Jiang Lingfu was about to ask Lin Fan for details, a harsh, mocking voice rang out from the side:
"Isn't this Young Master Jiang? You still have the leisure to come out for a meal? Aren't you seeing patients at your run-down clinic?"
Lin Fan looked up and saw that the voice came from a young man wearing Armani.
The Armani youth was also seen with his arm around a stylishly dressed woman.
"Where would Young Master Jiang's clinic be? Who would want to live too long to go there for treatment?" the fashionable young woman chimed in.
Seeing that the newcomers were hostile, Lin Fan asked Jiang Lingfu in a low voice, "What are these two doing here?"
Jiang Lingfu frowned, turned his head and whispered:
"They are my college classmates, Huang Shulang and Yin Lu."
"They are a couple who run a clinic called Xisheng."
"So that's what it is-"
Lin Fan responded softly.
"Young Master Jiang has changed now, he's even accepting meals from patients now? What, are you short of money?" Huang Shulang mocked.
Yin Lu covered her face and scoffed, "What else could he be doing besides being short of money? How many patients can his shabby clinic see in a day?"
"Young man, don't be fooled by Jiang Lingfu's shabby little clinic. It's all a scam."
As Huang Shulang spoke, he walked towards Lin Fan, and after stopping, he took out a business card:
"This is my clinic, near his run-down clinic. If you need medical treatment, come to me, and I'll give you a discount!"
Lin Fan glanced at Huang Shulang, then ignored him and continued eating.
"Hey, just take it!"
Huang Shulang shoved the business card into Lin Fan's hand: "Traditional Chinese medicine is all fraudulent; you still need Western medicine!"
"You!" Jiang Lingfu was furious.
"Snapped--"
A slap rang out, and before Jiang Lingfu could refute, Lin Fan took action.
The blow left Huang Shulang dazed. He clutched his cheek and staggered back a few steps, too exhausted to even curse.
Yin Lu helped Huang Shulang up, and said angrily, "I just realized! You're all in cahoots, you just wait!"
"Go ahead and try if you dare!"
Lin Fan picked up the business card and tore it to shreds: "You ungrateful wretch! Get lost!"
"You wait, you hit someone, I'll make you pay tenfold!"
Yin Lu, supporting Huang Shulang, was about to leave: "And you, Jiang Lingfu! I'm going to shut down your clinic too!"
Lin Fan glared at the two as they left, then sat down, looked at his palm, and let out a long sigh.
In the past, he would never have given a second thought to such insignificant creatures.
But today, Lin Fan found it difficult to control his anger.
Lin Fan smiled again, suddenly feeling that this was not bad, with clear distinctions between gratitude and resentment.
Then, Lin Fan glanced at Jiang Lingfu and found him looking worried.
"It's okay, Brother Fan will back you up!" After saying that, he smiled and patted Jiang Lingfu on the shoulder.
Jiang Lingfu, however, remained troubled: "Brother Fan, Yin Lu's family has connections with the Medical Bureau. Her father is a section chief in the Medical Bureau."
Jiang Lingfu knew that even his grandfather Jiang Beifeng's influence was no greater than that of the Medical Hall, not to mention that the clinic was not directly run by Jiang Beifeng.
"Don't worry, I'm here. How could our normal business operations be shut down?"
Lin Fan laughed again, "Eat quickly, and I'll teach you acupuncture techniques after you finish eating."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, the worries on Jiang Lingfu and his apprentices' faces mostly disappeared.
It's not that I no longer worry about the clinic, but the joy I get from learning acupuncture techniques far outweighs the distress of the clinic potentially being shut down.
Back at Jishetang, the sign that it was temporarily closed was still up, and Jiang Lingfu decided to focus on his studies today.
In the backyard, Lin Fan taught Jiang Lingfu and several apprentices three sets of acupuncture techniques: 'Nine Needles Rejuvenation', 'Seven Stars Rejuvenation', and 'Three Needles Soul Stabilization'.
As Lin Fan spoke, everyone took notes, and time flew by; it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Fan usually picks up Su Ruowei at 5:30, and after he arrives, he waits a little while before Su Ruowei can get off work.
If Su Ruowei needs to work overtime temporarily, she will call to notify her in advance.
Lin Fan glanced at the time, thinking he could teach for another half hour, when the phone rang.
It was Su Ruowei calling.
When Lin Fan answered the phone, she learned that Gu Xinyan was going to treat her to dinner today, and repeatedly emphasized that Lin Fan should come along. She didn't know what she was trying to tell him.
Lin Fan could vaguely guess that Gu Xinyan probably wanted him to do something, since she had previously learned that he was the president of Shancheng Group.
Just after hanging up with Su Ruowei, Ren Siyao called immediately.
As soon as the call connected, Ren Siyao launched into a long explanation:
"I called you earlier but the line was busy. I just wanted to let you know something. The initiation ceremony will be held in three days at Tingyun Manor."
"it is good--"
As soon as Lin Fan finished responding, Ren Siyao immediately hung up the phone.
"Brother Fan is incredibly busy!" one of the apprentices remarked.
Jiang Lingfu said proudly, "Of course, with Brother Fan being so capable, his other businesses must be thriving as well."
Lin Fan had a sudden inspiration: "That's right. I'm usually very busy, so you'll still be in charge of the clinic. The transfer contract is void, but I'll come and visit occasionally."
"That's it, I have to get back to work!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he didn't give Jiang Lingfu a chance to speak and left Jishetang in a flash.
Jiang Lingfu and his apprentices were bewildered in the wind, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly that their grandmaster was a master.
He so readily imparted his unique skills and didn't even accept the medical clinic. What magnanimity and spirit that is!
"Young Master Jiang, I've heard that there's a Su family in Shancheng City, and the Su family has a good-for-nothing son-in-law named Lin Fan," an apprentice said inappropriately.
"Nonsense, do you think I don't know Lin Fan!"
Jiang Lingfu practiced by holding silver needles while saying:
"It's definitely a case of the same name. Brother Fan might also be troubled by sharing a name with that good-for-nothing."
"That makes sense, Young Master Jiang's opinion is truly insightful!"
Meanwhile, Lin Fan arrived at Su Ruowei's company and happened to run into Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan coming out together.
As soon as Gu Xinyan got into the car, she shouted to Lin Fan and his wife in the front, "Let's go to Zuixian Pavilion!"
As soon as Gu Xinyan finished speaking, Su Ruowei leaned back and said, "Xinyan, have you made it big? You're going to treat us to dinner at Zuixian Pavilion."
Zuixian Pavilion is not cheap. Su Yulin once treated Su Ruowei's family to a meal at Zuixian Pavilion, which cost more than 100,000 yuan.
That same evening, Shen Yunlan treated Wang Lanhua's family to dinner at Zuixian Pavilion, which also cost over 100,000 yuan.
"I guess you could say I've made it big," Gu Xinyan said with a wry smile.
"A best friend is a best friend. She'll treat me to a meal when she becomes successful."
Hearing Su Ruowei say that, Gu Xinyan awkwardly pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Lin Fan, who was driving, saw this scene clearly through the rearview mirror.
