BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 Acupuncture
Chapter22 Acupuncture
Then Li Yong talks about that he runs a clinic, Yong Kang Clinic. He wants to ask Liu Lingyin to be the doctor and manage the clinic. Yeah, he wants her to oversee Yong Kang Clinic.
It shocks Liu Lingyin again. Upon hearing the request, she thinks Li Yong is bragging and gets annoyed immediately. She used to be kind to him because of his honesty and reliability. If she knew he likes bragging, she would never have brought Li Yong home.
“Don’t lie to me. I am not a three-year-old kid.” Liu Lingyin says seriously.
“Doctor Liu, I am not lying. I can show you around the clinic.” Li Yong says with a grin.
“Where did you get the money?” This is the biggest doubt of Liu Lingyin. “You are an orphan. You don’t even have a home. You earned your own school fees and now you are saying you just bought a clinic. How did you get the money?”
Li Yong forgot to come up with a reasonable excuse. He says with a fake smile, “Doctor Liu, I healed a patient and he gave me a sum of money to start my own business, so I was able to afford the clinic. Now everything is ready with the clinic except the doctors. If you can come to help me, I will give you the shares and guarantee you a higher income than you have in the hospital. Besides, I will take care of your mom’s illness and make sure it is healed.”
“Stop yanking me. I don’t have the time for this.” Saying that, Liu Lingyin starts to gobble up her lunch. She doesn’t have much time since she needs to go back to the hospital soon.
Li Yong never wants to force her so he starts eating then. Though they have only some fried vegetables with meat for lunch, the food does taste delicious, which is even better than Zhang Yurong’s.
Women are born chefs.
After lunch, Liu Lingyin goes to work in a hurry. Li Yong also leaves the apartment and walks her to the front of the hospital. All the way Liu Lingyin walks really fast with big steps.
Li Yong was almost running all the way along beside her. He would have taken Liu Lingyin to the clinic for a visit, but she rejected him for being occupied with work.
Li Yong doesn’t insist. Watching Liu Lingyin walk into the hospital, he takes a taxi to buy a series of acupuncture needles and then returns to Yong Kang Clinic. He notices that the sign has been changed from Wang Hui’s Clinic to Yong Kang Clinic and inside of the clinic is already well cleaned. Zhang Yurong is interviewing several girls for the position of nurse. She has taken Li Yong’s career as her own and been busy for the whole day nonstop.
To be honest, after being with Li Yong, Zhang Yurong looks like a million dollars and even more beautiful. She smiles with every act and every move, who looks as kind as Liu Lingyin’s mom.
Luckily, the candidates for the position of nurse are all girls. If there is any man at present, he will surely be enchanted by her.
Seeing Li Yong come back, Zhang Yurong asks him in a sweet voice, “Xiaoyong, you see, is it enough to hire three nurses?”
Li Yong thinks about it and feels three should be enough, so he nods his head.
“Xiaoyong, what do you think of these three candidates?” Zhang Yurong asks him again.
Li Yong starts to look at the three young and pretty nurses. Frankly speaking, each of them has her own merits and they all look beautiful. The one with long hair is sexy, the one with big eyes looks smart and the plump one appears strong. All of them have fair skin and conspicuous temperament, who will surely stand out among a crowd of people.
Li Yong learns that they are fresh graduates from nursing school and used to be in the same class. It makes sense to Li Yong then. In light of their beauty and qualification, they can surely get into the Zhonghai First Hospital, let alone a small clinic as his.
Even a big hospital cannot have them all at one time. That’s why they come to Li Yong’s clinic.
“Wow, he is the boss. How handsome he is!”
“He seems as young as we are.”
“We need to look for a job as soon as we graduate from school while he becomes a boss when he graduates.”
“He is young and rich. Hit on him.”
It occurs to Li Yong that his clairvoyant vision allows him to see through their body as well as their thoughts. He can see through their minds right now.
Li Yong is quite surprised. Isn’t it mind reading? How is it bound with his clairvoyant vision?
Li Yong looks toward Zhang Yurong instantly to see if his clairvoyant vision really allows him to read others’ mind. As a result, he is not able to read her mind.
So it doesn’t work all the time?
Li Yong does not think much. Since he has the clairvoyant vision, he gets better at accepting bizarre things. He will not make a fuss at anything that happens to him. He mediates for a second and says, “Alright, keep all of them. We provide them with the same working system and benefits as the Zhonghai First Hospital.
The three beauties are surprised and happy. Generally, the benefits of such a clinic are not as good as those of the big hospital like Zhonghai First Hospital.
This one should offer the same benefits, which is a delightful surprise for them.
“One of you will be the head of nurses overseeing all the nursing jobs with more responsibilities and higher salary. You are classmates so you just pick one yourselves.” Li Yong says.
“We pick her.” Surprisingly, the two beauties point to the one with long hair at the same time. And the long-hair girl also points to herself and says with a smile, “Me then.”
Zhang Yurong has got the contracts ready and distributes them to the beauties. The one with long hair is called Tian Baiqing, the one with big eyes Tian Hailu and the plump one Tian Qiushuang.
They have the same family name–Tian and their surnames are all poetic. Even Li Yong finds that quite interesting.
Then Li Yong talks to Zhang Yutong for a minute and then rushes to Liu Lingyin’s home. He promised to cure the old lady and his words must be kept.
When Li Yong arrives, Liu Lingyin hasn’t got off work and only her mom is sitting on a wooden chair, peeling the peanuts.
Li Yong tells her that he is going to cure her and she agrees delightedly. She puts away the peeled peanuts and the non-peeled peanuts before she lies on the chair as told by Li Yong. Then she is about to raise the lower hem of her shirt.
Li Yong stops her immediately. With the help of his clairvoyant vision, there is no need for the old lady to take off the clothes at all. Even if she is wearing many layers of clothes, Li Yong can still find the acupuncture points accurately.
Li Yong takes out the needle and urges Bian Que’s mental cultivation method to transfer his internal strength to the needle. Then he sticks the needle softly to the point where the meridians are occluded. Though it is the first time he has done that, he behaves steady as if an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. When the needle is stuck into the acupuncture point, he sees the occluded meridians swollen suddenly. As he places his fingers above the meridians, a flow of air is slowly injected and the meridians become gradually smooth. As a result, the twisted parts start to turn to the right position.
Within a while, Li Yong pulls the needle out and stands up, saying with a grin, “Aunt, please get up to have a walk. Let’s see if it still hurts.”
The old lady stands up from the chair and takes a step forward. She dare not take a big step, but when she feels no pain in her waist and legs, she continues walking, faster and faster.
“Oh my god! It doesn’t hurt now. I am recovered. Young man, you are such a divine doctor!” The old lady walks around the table, round after round. She just cannot stop.
Just then, the door is pushed away from outside. Liu Lingyin comes back from work. She feels a bit annoyed when she sees Li Yong. This afternoon, the senior management of the hospital talked to her and told her not to get involved with the doctors fired by the hospital. She knows they meant Li Yong.
However, when she catches sight of her mom walking like a naughty child, she is so surprised that her eyes well up, “Mom, you can walk now!”
“Yeah, I am recovered now. Your friend gave me an acupuncture therapy and it cures me. What a surprise! I used to take an acupuncture treatment but it didn’t work at all. This time, I get well. Just one time...” The old lady is so happy that she keeps talking non-stop.
“Even an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor cannot cure my mother’s illness. Xiaoyong, how did you make it?” Liu Lingyin is so confused and she didn’t know Xiaoyong has such capabilities.
Li Yong thinks to himself that ordinary traditional Chinese medicine doctors don’t have internal strength, nor do they know using internal strength to cure illnesses. Of course they cannot make it. However, Li Yong doesn’t say that, because it sounds hard to believe. He laughs and says, “I read it from an ancient book and didn’t expect it to be so effective.”
The lie dispels Liu Lingyin’s doubts at once. After all, her mom’s illness is cured, which is the most delightful thing for her. She looks Li Yong in the eye and apologizes, “Sorry, I misunderstood you before. Thank you. How much should we pay you for the treatment?”
“You’re welcome. I don’t want the money.” Stared by Liu Lingyin, Li Yong gets a bit shy.
“I’ll leave you alone and go cook dinner.” The old lady is walking towards the kitchen.
“Mom. Don’t do it. Let’s go out to eat. The Korean food.” Liu Lingyin grabs her in a hurry.
There is a Korean restaurant outside the housing estate. Liu Lingyin insists on treating Li Yong to dinner so Li Yong has to call Zhang Yurong, telling her not to wait for him.
While having dinner, Liu Lingyin asks Li Yong about the clinic. Now she believes him completely.
Li Yong explains in detail to Liu Lingyin and then asks her, “Doctor Liu, could you please help me manage the clinic? I give you 20% of the shares, aka, 20% of the monthly profits. What do you think?”
“Why don’t you manage it yourself?” Liu Lingyin asks him instead.
“I have another clinic to manage. I cannot handle two at the same time.” Li Yong grins.
“I know 20% of the profits are already enough, but I am doing well in the Zhonghai First Hospital and I don’t want to leave there.” Liu Lingyin says. In her view, the Zhonghai First Hospital is a state-owned hospital and she has a bright future ahead. If she goes to a small clinic, she may not have such a promising future though she can make enough money. Hence, even though Li Yong cures her mom’s illness, she cannot agree to Li Yong’s request, because it is not aligned with her life plan.
Li Yong also knows that it is not realistic for his clinic to have an excellent doctor like Liu Lingyin. Money is not enough to hire someone like her. He has tried his best, but since Liu Lingyin is not willing to, he will not insist. It seems that he has to turn to others.
Right at the moment, an unpleasant voice comes to Li Yong and he turns around only to find Deng Shouyin, Liu Xiaoyue and another senior manager of the Zhonghai First Hospital, Deng Yitian, aka, Deng Shouyin’s uncle.
