Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 68 Goodbye Zhang Mubai

After handing over all the medicinal pills to Yuan Qingshan, Zhou Xuan did not ask how these pills should be sold or at what price.

Because he believed that Yuan Qingshan, as a businessman, would definitely handle these matters well.

All he needed to do was to receive his due share of the reward in the end!

Having figured this out, Zhou Xuan no longer paid attention to Yuan Qingshan, who had already started to get busy.

Instead, he walked to his own counter alone, sat behind the counter on a boss chair specially prepared for him by Yuan Qingshan, and waited for customers to arrive.

Unfortunately, whether it was Baoyao Pavilion that forgot to promote him, or for some other reason.

Throughout the day, Zhou Xuan could count the patients he received on his fingers!

Moreover, among the patients he received, there were no particularly complex illnesses.

Instead, they were all minor issues like fever and colds, which did not require Zhou Xuan to do anything.

He only needed to directly tell them what medicine to get from the Baoyao Pavilion counter next to him!

"How strange!"

"Does the vast Cangyun City not even have a single seriously ill patient?"

"It made me a bit excited today because it was the first day of business!"

"But this is too awkward!"

Watching the sun gradually set outside, Zhou Xuan slumped listlessly on the boss chair, feeling a bit dejected.

"Hmph!"

"Let me annoy you today!"

"Now it's good, Heaven can't stand it anymore and wants to punish you!"

"May your pharmacy go bankrupt without customers, and may you starve to death then!"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Xu Ying, who was bored sitting on the massage chair enjoying herself, finally found an opportunity.

She immediately took the chance to gloat.

"Hey, you little girl!"

"With a hundred catties of body, do you have ninety-nine catties of rebellious bones?"

"I am your boss, after all!"

"If you don't need to be respectful to me, you shouldn't be saying sarcastic remarks at a time like this!"

"If my pharmacy goes bankrupt, you will also lose your job!"

"Then, let's see who starves to death first!"

Looking at Xu Ying's gloating face, Zhou Xuan rolled his eyes at her with annoyance.

He pretended to be about to fire her.

"Nyah nyah!"

"Anyway, it definitely won't be me who starves to death!"

Unexpectedly, the young girl Xu Ying did not fall for his act at all.

Not only did she stick out her tongue at Zhou Xuan, but she even looked at his threat with disdain.

"It seems this little girl's identity is indeed unusual!"

"She doesn't seem like someone who lacks money!"

"Then why did she come to work for me?"

"And Yuan Qingshan's attitude towards her last time was clearly different from his attitude towards other employees!"

"He even said that if she was disrespectful to him again, he would report her to his father and have his father take her back!"

"Could it be that this little girl's background is a high-ranking official in Baoyao Pavilion?"

"Otherwise, why would Yuan Qingshan mention reporting her?"

"But if her identity is the daughter of a high-ranking official in Baoyao Pavilion!"

"Then why would the person behind her arrange her to be by my side?"

"Is it to curry favor with me, or does she have some other motive?" Kuai Shuge

At this moment, Xu Ying did not know that because of a casual remark she made earlier.

Zhou Xuan had become suspicious of her identity.

At this time, she was lying lazily on the massage chair, enjoying the leisure.

"Forget it, it seems no one else will come today!"

"It's getting late, and I should go home for dinner!"

"Let's close up!"

Looking at Xu Ying's comfortable appearance, Zhou Xuan, who couldn't figure out her identity, decided not to think about it anymore.

After all, no matter what her intentions were, Zhou Xuan was confident that he could handle such a young girl with ease.

"Let's close up!"

"Okay, okay!"

"It just so happens that my favorite TV show is about to start, and I want to go back and watch it!"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Xu Ying, who had been listless just moments ago, immediately jumped up from the massage chair.

She turned around and was about to walk out of Baoyao Pavilion.

"Ouch!"

Perhaps due to her excitement, Xu Ying wasn't looking where she was going.

She bumped headfirst into a customer who was about to step into Baoyao Pavilion.

The person was a man, and Xu Ying was slim.

So at the moment of impact, her body involuntarily fell backward.

Just as her back of the head was about to make contact with the ground.

Zhou Xuan appeared behind her in time, supporting her body and preventing the tragedy.

"Huh!"

"It's you?"

After helping Xu Ying up, before she could even thank him.

Zhou Xuan looked at the man who had bumped into Xu Ying and said with some surprise.

Because he recognized this man.

This was the young man named Zhang Mubai whom he had met at the Wang family's casino not long ago, when he went to seek revenge against the Wang family.

"Brother Gambler!"

"What are you doing here?"

"After you went to the so-called VIP room with Wang Tianlong last time, I thought you had met an untimely end!"

"I didn't expect to see you here today!"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's voice, Zhang Mubai, who had also stumbled from the collision, immediately came back to his senses.

Then he looked at Zhou Xuan with pleasant surprise!

"I didn't expect Cangyun City to be so small!"

"We meet again so soon!"

Looking at Zhang Mubai in front of him, Zhou Xuan chuckled lightly.

He had some good feelings towards this fellow.

After all, no matter what, this fellow had spoken up for him quite a bit at the Wang family's casino at the time.

And at the end, when the Wang family tried to use underhanded tactics, he had kindly reminded him.

Although Zhou Xuan might not have needed this kindness, he was not an ungrateful person.

If others are respectful to you by one foot, you should be respectful to them by ten!

This was Zhou Xuan's principle in life!

"Yes, Cangyun is indeed too small!"

"But it's fate that we meet again today, Brother Gambler!"

"My name is Zhang Mubai, nice to meet you!"

"Zhou Xuan!"

"Don't call me Brother Gambler anymore!"

"That was just my good luck!"

Looking at Zhang Mubai's outstretched hand, Zhou Xuan politely responded.

"Brother Zhou, don't be so modest!"

"With your superb gambling skills, even Brother Ma would have to admit defeat!"

"If you have time someday, teach this brother a few tricks!"

"I've long been unhappy with the Wang family. If I have a chance, I'll go and curb their arrogance!"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhang Mubai flatteringly complimented him in a very smooth manner.

And in a few words, he had drawn his relationship with Zhou Xuan very close.

From this, it could also be seen that this fellow was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

"Heh, let's not talk about this anymore!"

"Are you here at Baoyao Pavilion to buy any medicinal ingredients?"

Listening to Zhang Mubai's flattery, Zhou Xuan's expression did not change.

More than a decade of cultivation in the deep mountains had not only increased his true energy!

"Not really!"

"It's mainly because I heard that Baoyao Pavilion has a new divine doctor with superb medical skills!"

"So I want to invite him to treat my old man!"

"My old man has recently contracted a strange illness that cannot be cured no matter what!"

"A few days ago, I happened to hear that Baoyao Pavilion had a divine doctor stationed here!"

"So I thought I'd come and try my luck!"

"By the way, Brother Zhou!"

"You arrived earlier than me, do you know which divine doctor it is?"

"Could you help me introduce him!"
