Chapter 109: Reopening Wansheng Hall

  "No way! Younger brother, you are our Song family's benefactor, you must come, and I've also guaranteed to the old master that you will definitely come, don't make me lose face!" The pitiful voice of Song Huishan came from the other end of the phone.

  "It's still early! Let's talk about it when the time comes!" Xiao Ye thought for a moment and still didn't give Song Hu Shan a prepared response.

  Xiao Yu thought of the last time he went to Jing City, his mother was angry. Although Xiao Yu didn't know why his mother opposed him going to Jing City, he knew that his mother must have had her reasons and she wouldn't harm him. So regarding going to Jing City, Xiao Yu wanted to ask his mother's meaning. This was also the fundamental reason why Xiao Yu rushed back the next day without even eating after helping Wan Jia Yi summon her soul in Jing City last time.

  "Don't even think about it! Younger brother, I'm telling you, if you don't come when the time comes, I'll go to the depths of the ocean to drag you back..."

  Xiao Yu hung up the phone before Song Hu Shan finished speaking, and then opened the file bag to find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner qualification certificate inside. Xiao Yu hadn't expected that he would obtain the certificate he had failed twice in the exams, and of course, he didn't suspect its authenticity at all.

  Xiao Yu felt a sense of gratitude and immediately turned to Zhang Shaohua, saying: "Mr. Zhang, thank you so much! I'm really sorry to trouble you again. Tonight, I'll treat you to dinner as a small token of my appreciation!"

  Zhang Shaohua saw Xiao Yu hang up the phone and became more enthusiastic towards him. Although he didn't know who made the call, it was definitely someone asking for favors from Chu Secretary, and it seemed that Xiao Yu and the other party were quite familiar with each other. So he wanted to accept Xiao Yu's invitation, but thinking about reporting back to Chu Secretary later, he dispelled this idea.

  "Today is not possible, I still have to go back and report for duty later. Another day, another day I'll invite Xiao Lao Di (Xiao Ye) out for dinner, Xiao Lao Di must give me face!" Zhang Shao Hua politely declined Xiao Ye's invitation after saying this, then took out a business card and handed it over to Xiao Ye with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

  Xiao Yu took the business card and looked at it. The surface was very neat, with only a name and a phone number on it, nothing else. He couldn't help but feel that it was quite strange. Whose business card wasn't printed with a bunch of titles? Only Song Hu Shan had given him such a simple card before, but Song Hu Shan's card was made of pure gold, much more high-end than this one.

  But from this, it can also be imagined that Zhang Shaohua is not so simple, but for Xiao Yu, it doesn't matter what identity he has, he just wants to express his gratitude for Zhang Shaohua's efforts.

  "Alright then, I'll get in touch with Mr Zhang another day!" Xiao Yu said with a faint smile.

  "Hey, Mr. Zhang, you've called me, and looked down on me, just call me Zhang Ge!" Zhang Shaohua heard Xiao Yu's words, his face turned stern with a hint of blame.

  "Alright then, Brother Zhang, I'll treat you to a drink another day!" Xiao Yu said without pretension.

  "Alright, Xiaolao I'll go first, we'll be in touch later!" Zhang Shaohua was also very happy in his heart. Although he didn't know what kind of background Xiao Ye had, it definitely wouldn't be small, and there were people here who even his own boss, Secretary Chu, would have to treat with caution.

  Although he and Xiao Ye are only acquaintances now, he believes that their relationship will gradually deepen as they spend more time together. This can be considered a long-term investment. Although there may not be any returns, once there is, it will be very substantial.

  Cui Xiaoling watched the two of them talking there, knowing that Xiao Ye had taken out a traditional Chinese medicine qualification certificate, and couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain: "Even a fake certificate can make you so happy."

  It's not time to get the certificate yet, and Xiao Yu's certificate was sent by someone else. Cui Xiaoling naturally felt that this was a fake certificate. If it were real, you would have to beg your grandfather and grandmother, running there every day may not be given to you, and thinking about letting someone send it over? Only those who make fake certificates will deliver the goods to your doorstep.

  Although the person delivering things looks elegant and refined, if a bad person can be seen as a bad person, then they are not called a bad person.

  Cui Xiaoling had just walked to the door and was about to open it when the door was pushed open again, almost hitting Cui Xiaoling: "Who......"

  Cui Xiaoling was about to scold, but when she looked up and saw Fang Yuan, her originally annoyed face suddenly bloomed like a flower: "Director Fang, you're here. I was just about to report my work to you."

  "Uh-huh, okay!" Fang Yuan glanced at the woman introduced by his friend's friend and responded faintly.

  Fang Yuan didn't have the mind to care about her now, just as Fang Yuan reached the stairs, she saw a person who looked very much like the secretary of the municipal party committee. This antique city was actually a subsidiary of a company called Wanpeng Real Estate Group. At a dinner party of the parent company, he had seen from afar a young man following behind the municipal party secretary, and this person looked exactly like the one she saw just now.

  But is it possible? What would the secretary of the municipal party committee be doing in an antique city? Fangyuan thought his idea was ridiculous, maybe he just looked similar to someone at first glance! As he walked, he arrived at the infirmary and saw that the door was open, so he went inside.

  "Director Fang!" Xiao Yu was just about to pack up when he saw Fang Yuan walk in and greeted him.

  Fang Yuan was taken aback when he heard Xiao Yu's voice, and suddenly lifted his head. The originally stern face instantly revealed a smiling face as he looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Dr. Xiao? When did you come back? Why didn't you say anything, I would have gone to pick you up!"

  "Hehe, how dare I trouble Director Fang's presence!" The other person was giving him face, and Xiao Ye wasn't unaware of the proper etiquette.

  "Xiao Zhang, didn't I tell you? Dr. Xiao is coming back and you should call me immediately?" Fang Yuan said with a reproachful expression, looking at Zhang Xinying.

  "Director Fang, it's not that I don't want to fight, but Dr. Cui won't let me fight. She asked Dr. Xiao to write a sick leave note and told me to bring it with me when I report to you!" Zhang Xinying also wasn't one to hold back, instantly selling out Cui Xiaoling.

  "Come on, Dr. Xiao, I'm treating tonight! Call Jun Shao, let's go to the restaurant!" Fang Yuan glanced at Cui Xiaoling with a slanted eye and an expressionless face, then turned his head to smile at Xiao Ye.

  Suddenly Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed sharply, thinking of a possibility. Could it be that the person he saw was actually the secretary of the municipal party committee, and this deep-sea first secret was looking for Xiao Ye?

  Fang Yuan thought about it more and more, and couldn't help but ask: "Just now was......"

  "Oh, Director Fang just bought a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner qualification certificate from Dr. Xiao, and the seller just sent it over...” Cui Xiaoling, although she also sensed that something was off, still felt a bit unwilling to give up, so when she heard Fang Yuan's question, she quickly spoke up.

  "Shut up!" Fang Yuan couldn't help but say out of anger when he heard Cui Xiaoling's words.

  At this time, Fang Yuan dared to confirm that the person just now was indeed the secretary of the municipal party committee, and what about Xiao Ye? The secretary of the municipal party committee actually delivered the traditional Chinese medicine practice qualification certificate in person? Thinking of this, Fang Yuan took a cold breath, what is Xiao Ye's background after all?

  If it was said that Fang Yuan was polite to Xiao Yu at first because Xiao Yu knew those experts and had excellent medical skills, now it is a kind of awe for Xiao Yu, a kind of awe for his authority.

  "...can..." Hearing Fang Yuan's scolding, he felt embarrassed in front of Xiao Ye and Zhang Xinying, wanting to say a few more words, but seeing Fang Yuan's gloomy face, the words that had just come out were abruptly stopped, and he dared not speak again.

  "Director Fang, I'm really sorry, but it's not possible today. I just got back from my hometown and stayed at Wei Jun's place last night, and I still haven't gone home yet. Today I need to go back and tidy up!" Xiao Yu politely declined Director Fang's invitation. To be fair, Director Fang had been quite good to him, giving him a stable job when he was down on his luck, regardless of the reason. Although Director Fang had used him to restore Teacher Cai's reputation in the company, he had also been very kind to him, not saying anything even when he took a leave of absence for over a month.

  Today, Xiao Yu's heart is in a mess. He doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to return and think about his own path. Is it really possible for him to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in this Western-style medical room? If he was satisfied with this job before, what about now? Not only has he inherited Zhong Wei's everything, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of carrying on the Xiao family legacy left by his grandfather.

  Xiao Yu pushed away Fang Yuan's invitation, refused Wei Jun's sendoff, and slowly returned to the rental house by himself with his luggage. Looking at everything in the house that was both familiar and strange, Xiao Yu sat down on the bed and began to ponder his future.

  This evening, Xiao Ye lay in bed without cultivating or sleeping, just quietly thinking. Gradually, a small window on the corner of the roof, about one foot square, let in a sliver of light, proving that day had already broken.

  Xiao Yu, who had been lying in bed motionless for a whole night, suddenly sat up, and at this moment, his eyes no longer showed confusion, but instead flashed with determination.

  Xiao Yu took out his phone and dialed his mother, Xiao Jianying, who was in the same city. Before he could say anything, his mother asked, "Xiao Yu, have you arrived?"

  Although his mother was sometimes strict with him and rarely called him proactively, like yesterday when he went out without calling her, and she wouldn't call him either. But Xiao Yu knew that his mother cared about him from the bottom of her heart. Now hearing his mother's voice, although Xiao Yu had been away from home for less than a day, there was still a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart.

  "Mom, I'm here. There's something I want to tell you!" Xiao Yu said after a moment of contemplation.

  "Go on!" Xiang Jianying detected the solemnity in her son's words, this was the first time he had spoken to her with such formality and seriousness. It seemed that her son had finally grown up. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiang Jianying's mouth as she said.

  "Mother, I want to reopen the Xiao family's 'Wansheng Hall'!" Xiao Yu said with a somewhat low but very firm tone.
