Zhang Fugui now trusts Li Se’s words considerably. While a year without women would be difficult, it was nothing compared to his life.
Before long, Zhang Fugui left on his own, abandoning Tian Sisi there.
“Husband, wait for me…” Tian Sisi chased after him.
“Get lost! From today onwards, I don’t have a girlfriend!”
After shopping, Xia Shuyu dragged Li Se to watch a movie. With this and that, the day quickly passed.
Looking at Xia Shuyu, she showed no signs of fatigue, but Li Se was already a bit tired. Accompanying women was truly a physically demanding task.
“Are you even a man? You’re tired after only shopping for so long?” Xia Shuyu said with a hint of disdain.
Li Se was speechless, “It’s been a whole day! You’ve drained me completely.”
There was a double entendre in his words. Xia Shuyu’s pretty face flushed slightly, “Who wants to drain your body?”
Although Xia Shuyu had a car, Li Se still acted as her driver, taking her home.
“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Xia Shuyu didn’t leave but looked at Li Se, asking seriously.
“No,” Li Se shook his head.
“Hmph!” Xia Shuyu huffed, “You’re a block of wood!”
After getting out of the car, Xia Shuyu felt a bit unwilling. She turned back, her gaze filled with expectation, and said, “One more chance, is there anything you want to say to me?”
Li Se thought for a while before replying, “Sleep early tonight?”
“Get lost!” Xia Shuyu really wanted to kick him. This guy was too clueless about emotions. She decided to take the initiative, stood on her tiptoes, kissed Li Se on the mouth, and then turned to leave.
He had been forcefully kissed by that woman again.
Li Se savored the feeling. It was sweet and soft, quite nice.
Two days later, the Sino-Western medicine showdown was about to begin.
Li Se also received a call from Elder Huang and quickly arrived at the Chinese Medicine Hall.
Normally, the Chinese Medicine Hall was not crowded, but today it was packed. Of course, most of them were doctors, with a majority from Western medicine and only a minority from Chinese medicine.
Seeing so many supporters of Western medicine, Li Se sighed. It couldn’t be entirely blamed on worshipping foreign things. In a sense, Western medicine was indeed much simpler than Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine became more respected with age, meaning young TCM practitioners were essentially struggling to make ends meet.
As soon as he entered the Chinese Medicine Hall, Li Se ran into several people, who turned out to be Cheng Wenhan and his group.
“Oh, Li Se?” Cheng Wenhan was quite surprised to see Li Se, “Don’t tell me you came to participate in the TCM showdown without even having a medical practice license?”
“Wenhan, how could he possibly participate? At best, he’s just a cheerleader,” He Mengfei sneered.
Tang Ze couldn’t help but add, “He’s probably not even qualified to be a cheerleader.”
Although Li Se had displayed astonishing wealth at the KTV the day before yesterday, they still believed he was just lucky to have obtained a membership card for the Shen Group. This was nothing. Outside of Qingyun City, who would care if you were a member of some company?
Even in Qingyun City, probably very few people would care about such a status, except for the industries under the Shen Group.
“That’s not necessarily true,” Cheng Wenhan said with a smile. “Perhaps he’s here to participate in the Sino-Western medicine showdown. Li Se, right?”
“Yes, I’m participating,” Li Se nodded. He was telling the truth.
“Pfft…” Cheng Wenhan couldn’t help but laugh. “Chinese medicine really is that desperate for people.”
“You can participate too?” He Mengfei and the others looked at him with disdain. Regardless of the mockery, they absolutely couldn’t believe Li Se would participate.
“Cheng Wenhan, since you think Chinese medicine is so amazing, how about we make a bet?” Li Se said with a chuckle.
“What’s the bet?” Cheng Wenhan asked, intrigued.
Li Se replied, “It’s simple. If Chinese medicine wins today, you will abandon Western medicine and study Chinese medicine from now on. How about it?”
This was a bet on his future!
Cheng Wenhan himself was studying Western medicine and had achieved some success. Abandoning Western medicine to relearn Chinese medicine would be equivalent to ruining his career. However, he was confident in Western medicine. But why should he bet with Li Se? He sneered, “Why should I bet with you?”
Li Se looked at him, “Don’t you have great confidence in Western medicine? What, are you scared?”
“Do you think I’m scared?” Cheng Wenhan snorted. “What if Western medicine wins? What will you do then?”
“Whatever you wish,” Li Se said with composure, as if Western medicine could never lose.
“You said it yourself. Then I’ll take you up on your bet!” Cheng Wenhan readily agreed. After all, he didn’t believe Chinese medicine would win. In this day and age, could Chinese medicine possibly defeat Western medicine? It was almost impossible. Many TCM practitioners even used Western medical equipment.
Li Se stopped bothering with Cheng Wenhan and scanned the venue. He quickly spotted Elder Huang and walked over.
“Wenhan, are you really going to bet with him?” He Mengfei felt it was unnecessary.
Cheng Wenhan watched Li Se walk away and said, “Western medicine cannot lose. After this Sino-Western medicine showdown is over, I’ll see how I torture this kid!”
At the KTV, he had lost over ten million yuan, and then the beauty had left with Li Se. This matter had been bothering him. If he couldn’t teach Li Se a lesson, he would be miserable for the rest of his life.
“Look, he seems to know Elder Huang?” Tang Ze said in surprise, as Li Se was now talking and laughing with Elder Huang.
“That’s not surprising, is it?” He Mengfei said indifferently. “Huang Shanshan is his girlfriend, so it’s normal for him to know Elder Huang.”
Cheng Wenhan clenched his fist. He would make Huang Shanshan realize that compared to him, Li Se was nothing but trash, not even qualified to be compared to him.
Huang Shanshan was naturally by Elder Huang’s side. Cheng Wenhan shifted his gaze from Li Se to Huang Shanshan. “Shanshan, just wait. I am the most qualified to be your man. As for Li Se, after this Sino-Western medicine showdown, I will completely humiliate him!”
“Don’t pay attention to them. Wenhan, when will the medical association people arrive?” He Mengfei was more concerned about the medical association team than Li Se’s affairs.
Cheng Wenhan smiled, “They’ll be here any moment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people walked in. The leader was a woman with long, wavy hair, in her thirties. She had a smoking hot figure and was very beautiful. Even by Eastern aesthetic standards, she was considered stunning.
Cheng Wenhan’s face lit up. “They’re here!”
