Jiang Hezheng’s face was grim. He truly hadn’t expected Li Se to be so difficult to deal with. He had thought this was just a young man who would readily agree if offered some benefits, but he hadn't anticipated being rejected.
“A spirited young man, indeed!” Jiang Hezheng let out a cold snort and took out his phone, dialing a number.
“Dean Jiang, what made you think of calling me?” a hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Hezheng got straight to the point, saying, “Chairman Qin, I need your help with something…”
“It’s rare for you, Dean Jiang, to need my help. Just tell me what it is. I’ll help if I can,” Chairman Qin chuckled.
Jiang Hezheng said, “It’s like this…”
…
Medical Association Headquarters.
After Qin Fangchen hung up the phone, he looked at his secretary with a hint of confusion. “Do we have a young man named Li Se who has joined our association?”
“Chairman Qin, let me check.” The secretary immediately began the investigation.
About five minutes later, the secretary had the results and reported to Qin Fangchen, “Chairman, there is a young man named Li Se. He was recommended by Elder Huang and just joined our association today.”
“Recommended by Elder Huang?” Qin Fangchen frowned slightly. This was something he hadn’t expected. However, on second thought, if he hadn’t been recommended by Elder Huang, it would have been unlikely for someone so young to join the association.
After a moment’s hesitation, Qin Fangchen instructed the secretary, “Please arrange a meeting. I want to see this young man, Li Se.”
The secretary was a little surprised. He had seen Li Se’s file. Perhaps his medical skills were quite impressive, as Elder Huang had recommended him. But who was Qin Fangchen? He was the president of the Medical Association. Why would he want to meet such a young man?
“Yes!” The secretary responded and immediately left the chairman’s office.
Meanwhile, Li Se received a call from Chen Bin, and the two met shortly thereafter.
“Why were you so eager to find me?” Li Se asked, puzzled.
“Of course, I want to drink with you, introduce you to some friends, and have you take a look at some raw stones for me. I’m getting a new batch,” Chen Bin said with a grin.
“It’s the same as before. If there’s any imperial green, get me a few pendants,” Li Se said.
“No problem!” Chen Bin readily agreed.
Back at the raw stone market, Li Se picked out some stones for Chen Bin. When they were cut open, they all revealed green, and one stone yielded imperial green again!
The last time Li Se had sold the imperial green he’d unearthed to Chen Bin, it had allowed Chen Bin to make a substantial profit. This time, however, it was different. Li Se was helping Chen Bin cut the stones this time, not buying them himself, so the profit would be even greater.
Still, Chen Bin transferred twenty million yuan to Li Se and promised to make a few small pendants.
“Haha, with you helping me pick stones from now on, I feel like our family will soon be the number one in Qingyun City,” Chen Bin said excitedly.
“Let’s go. Didn’t you say you wanted to go drinking?” Li Se said with a hint of helplessness. But he had to admit that this way of making money was indeed fast. However, he wasn’t lacking money now and wouldn't deliberately pursue wealth for its own sake.
“Right, right. I also need to introduce you to some friends. I’m telling you, these friends of mine have very unusual identities,” Chen Bin said mysteriously.
After leaving the raw stone market, they headed to a hotel. The private room had already been booked. Upon entering, they found two young men of similar age to Li Se already seated inside.
“Let me introduce you. This is Li Se. His medical skills are incredibly high; he can treat all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases. Not only that, but he’s also very skilled in feng shui and metaphysics!”
Chen Bin first introduced Li Se, then introduced the other two young men to Li Se.
The young man in the suit was named Chu Mingxuan. His family was in business, and their business was very large, no less than Chen Bin’s.
The other young man wearing glasses was even more remarkable. His name was Song Xuehai, and he was the son of the Qingyun City Secretary!
When Li Se saw Song Xuehai, he was somewhat surprised. He had just saved Song Yushan today, and now he had met Song Yushan’s son.
“Chen Bin said your medical skills are good. Can you take a look at me?” Song Xuehai clearly didn’t believe that Li Se, at his age, could have such profound medical skills, so he wanted to test Li Se.
Li Se smiled slightly and asked, “Have you been experiencing post-meal bloating, early satiety, upper abdominal pain, and upper abdominal burning sensation recently?”
“Yes!” Song Xuehai immediately nodded, thinking, “This guy has some skill.”
“You have indigestion. I’ll write you a prescription, and one dose will cure you.” Li Se quickly scribbled a prescription and handed it to Song Xuehai.
“Thank you!” Song Xuehai said gratefully.
“Let me see!” Chu Mingxuan next to him urged.
Li Se could tell Chu Mingxuan’s problem at a glance and said with a smile, “You’ve probably been a bit mentally disturbed lately, your nerves are quite weak, your diet is poor, and you have some sleep disturbances…”
Li Se listed a string of ailments, and Chu Mingxuan listened with cold sweat streaming down his face, thinking he had some kind of cancer. He was on the verge of tears. “What illness do I have? Just tell me directly, I can handle it!”
“It’s not a serious problem. It’s just caused by your long-term staying up late.” Li Se wrote another prescription. “You should stay up less in the future, and ensure you get enough sleep. The prescription I’ve written will help with your sleep, and once your biological clock stabilizes for a period, these symptoms will disappear.”
“God!” Chu Mingxuan was astonished. “Chen Bin, you’re amazing! I’m definitely going to be friends with you. I didn’t expect your medical skills to be so good.”
“If you have any problems in the future, just ask,” Song Xuehai said with a laugh. With his status, these words carried significant weight.
After all, he was the son of the secretary. It was likely that there was nothing that could stump him in the entire Qingyun City.
Li Se had drunk quite a bit and went to the restroom halfway. Just as he was about to return to the private room, he saw a familiar figure.
“Xia Bingyun?”
Li Se was startled. He hadn’t expected to encounter Xia Bingyun here. He walked over and greeted her, “Bingyun, what are you doing here?”
Xia Bingyun seemed to have had a bit to drink, her pretty face flushed and extremely alluring. Although she still exuded a cold aura, the way she looked after drinking, combined with her icy demeanor, seemed to add a touch of allure.
“I’m having dinner with a leader. You arranged a major company collaboration for me, so we created a new brand and plan to launch it, but it needs the leader’s approval first,” Xia Bingyun sighed, appearing somewhat weary.
Li Se immediately understood and asked, “This leader isn’t willing to approve it for you?”
