"Madam Lin, how are you feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort anywhere?" Xu Qinghe asked the woman before him nervously.
Although the instruments showed the patient's vital signs were all normal and her temperature had returned to the usual range, Xu Qinghe was still uneasy and asked a few more questions.
"Mmm... I feel very relaxed now," the beautiful woman replied.
Hearing her response, Xu Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Madam Lin's recovery, not only was the clinic's reputation preserved, but his own future was also secured.
Furthermore, Madam Lin had been transferred from the city hospital. In a sense, the city hospital couldn't treat her and had passed the buck to them. Now that they had successfully treated Madam Lin, it was equivalent to slapping the other party in the face.
More importantly, Madam Lin had a powerful background. By curing Madam Lin this time, her family would undoubtedly bestow considerable benefits upon him. He had truly managed to latch onto a powerful patron!
"Good, then please rest, Madam Lin. Feel free to contact our medical staff if you need anything."
"Thank you for your trouble, Dean Lin." Madam Lin smiled politely.
"Saving lives and treating illnesses is our duty as physicians. Your recovery is a tremendous joy for us. How can you call it trouble?" Xu Qinghe's face was wreathed in a smile, resembling a blooming chrysanthemum.
Seeing this, the attending physicians also began to chime in with flattery.
For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful!
As everyone was immersed in the joy of Madam Lin's recovery, no one noticed that Lin Xiaotian had already left the ward.
Lin Xiaotian did not return to check on Madam Lin's condition. He was confident that he had cleared the Gu poison from her body, and her waking up was only a matter of time.
After leaving the ward, Lin Xiaotian returned to the counter where medicines were sold. He packed the medicines he had previously ordered and was about to leave.
Just as he was about to depart, a clear voice called out to him.
Lin Xiaotian turned around and saw that it was the beautiful doctor, Xia Qingling, who had called him.
"Are you Lin Xiaotian? Thank you so much this time. You've helped us a great deal." Xia Qingling gave a sweet smile.
"You're welcome! It's just my duty as a physician." Lin Xiaotian shrugged nonchalantly and prepared to walk out.
Xia Qingling quickly ran over and blocked Lin Xiaotian's path.
"Have you ever considered joining our clinic? If you're willing, the clinic would like to offer you a high salary." Xia Qingling looked at Lin Xiaotian, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
The National Medical Clinic was not only one of the top medical institutions in the country but also renowned worldwide. Moreover, the doctors there generally received very high salaries, making it a dream destination for all physicians.
Every year, the clinic's recruitment attracted numerous elites from the medical field, but only a select few were ultimately able to join.
Xia Qingling was confident that Lin Xiaotian would have no reason to refuse such an offer.
"The dean has informed me. If you're willing, you can start working tomorrow. You don't need to worry about accommodation; the unit will arrange nearby housing for you. We also provide cars for every doctor..." Xia Qingling continued.
But before she could finish, Lin Xiaotian interrupted her.
"Thank you, you're very kind, but I don't intend to stay." Lin Xiaotian refused decisively.
He was accustomed to freedom and disliked being constrained by an organization. Furthermore, he was in a hurry to make money, and working at a hospital would leave him no time.
"Aren't you going to consider it?" Xia Qingling was stunned.
This person was refusing the National Medical Clinic, which everyone else scrambled to get into?
Was he an idiot?
"No need to consider." Lin Xiaotian refused again. "If you have nothing else, I'll be going now."
Seeing Lin Xiaotian about to leave again, Xia Qingling, who had been repeatedly given the "friend zone" treatment, felt a sense of unwillingness.
"How about this! Can we add each other on WeChat? If you ever change your mind, you can contact me anytime." Xia Qingling said, taking out her phone.
"Uh... I don't have WeChat." Lin Xiaotian shrugged.
He had been a fool for so many years and didn't even have a phone, let alone WeChat.
But Xia Qingling didn't know this. In this day and age, even elderly people in their seventies and eighties had WeChat. Lin Xiaotian looked to be in his early twenties; how could he not have WeChat?
This was clearly a rejection!
Thinking of this, Xia Qingling became furious.
She was beautiful and came from a good family. In the past, men always begged her to add them on WeChat. She had never been rejected before.
Lin Xiaotian was the first!
"Then can I have your phone number?" Xia Qingling was still persistent.
"Uh... this... I also..."
"You don't even have a phone, do you?"
Lin Xiaotian nodded awkwardly.
Xia Qingling was about to explode with anger.
If he didn't want to give his contact information, he should at least provide a better reason!
Just as Xia Qingling was sulking, Li Er Guai's voice suddenly came from the entrance.
Li Er Guai, seeing that Lin Xiaotian had been gone for so long, couldn't bother with the cart anymore and rushed in.
"Sorry, my friend is waiting for me. I have to go now." Lin Xiaotian made an apologetic gesture and then hurried towards the entrance.
Watching Lin Xiaotian run away, Xia Qingling stomped her feet in anger.
"Well, well, I didn't expect our Goddess Xia to be rejected one day." A silver bell-like laugh came from beside her.
Xia Qingling turned her head and saw that it was her good friend Guo Linqing.
Guo Linqing was also a stunning beauty, with long legs and a slender waist. Her ample assets, in particular, were enough to outshine most Japanese actresses, despite her being only twenty-seven years old.
"Alright, you wicked girl, you're actually mocking me." Xia Qingling was extremely annoyed and lunged at her.
"You hooligan, no wonder he rejected you." Guo Linqing nimbly dodged.
"Hmph! This is too much. I, this young lady, have never been treated like this!" Xia Qingling pouted.
Looking at Xia Qingling's dejected expression, Guo Linqing couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Perhaps he doesn't think much of our clinic. After all, 'Golden Needle Passing Through Meridians' is not something ordinary people can do," Guo Linqing said, gazing deeply towards the entrance.
"Golden Needle Passing Through Meridians? Is that difficult? Isn't it just acupuncture?" Xia Qingling asked.
She had studied Western medicine and was not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine.
But while she didn't understand, Guo Linqing, who studied traditional Chinese medicine, knew very well.
In ancient times, only highly skilled physicians dared to use golden needles, as using them was more challenging than other needles.
Moreover, 'Golden Needle Passing Through Meridians' wasn't simply about using golden needles for acupuncture. It also required a certain amount of internal energy!
In the entire divine realm, there were fewer than ten people who could perform 'Golden Needle Passing Through Meridians', and each of them was very old.
And this Lin Xiaotian, who could perform 'Golden Needle Passing Through Meridians' at such a young age, showed how formidable his background must be!
"Do you know the Divine Physician Su Qinglan? He is one of the people who can perform 'Golden Needle Passing Through Meridians'," Guo Linqing said, narrowing her eyes.
"Divine Physician Su Qinglan?" Hearing this name, Xia Qingling's heart trembled.
Su Qinglan was a towering figure in the medical field. Even she, who studied Western medicine, was extremely familiar with this name. It was even included in textbooks.
"Could it be that this Lin Xiaotian has some connection with Su Qinglan?" Xia Qingling frowned.
