Soon, Li Dafu was captivated by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual.
He stood in place for half an hour, reading the entire manual in one go.
"Director Chen, are you sure you want to distribute these to us?"
After his shock, Li Dafu asked with a trembling voice.
His voice trembled simply because he was too excited.
This was because the Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual that Director Chen had produced was simply too amazing, too shocking.
It not only summarized the essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine over thousands of years, but some of the knowledge and techniques mentioned within it were decades, no, centuries ahead of this era!
After reading it, Li Dafu felt enlightened. He had thought his achievements in Traditional Chinese Medicine would be limited to this, but after reading Chen Xiao's Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual, he felt his understanding of the field had directly ascended to a new level.
If he studied it diligently for a year or a half, his proficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine would at least be four to five times stronger than it was now.
Hearing Li Dafu's question, Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "I created this Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual for you all to read. If I don't distribute it, wouldn't that be a waste of my effort?"
"No, Director Chen, you know I didn't mean that... It's just that the content in this Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual is too shocking. If it were published, it could even win various international medical awards. Won't you reconsider?" Li Dafu asked.
Chen Xiao sneered, "Traditional Chinese Medicine is for treating illnesses, not for winning awards. Alright, it's getting late. Hurry up and get it out before closing time. The sooner it's distributed, the better. Don't forget, one day of the seven days has already passed, leaving only six."
Hearing these words, Li Dafu's respect for Chen Xiao deepened, reaching a new level.
"Yes, yes, I'll go now!"
Li Dafu went off to work with excitement. At over fifty years old, he had the vigor of a young man in his twenties.
With Chen Xiao creating this Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual, his task was considered three-quarters complete.
With the three senior physicians in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department plus Chu Luo seeing patients, and now this Traditional Chinese Medicine Work Manual, it would soon become the flagship department of Jiangcheng Hospital.
And at that time, it would be time for Chen Xiao to retire.
Chen Xiao leaned back in his chair, resting his head on his hands, with his legs crossed, leisurely enjoying himself.
Just as he was relaxing, his phone suddenly rang. Chen Xiao thought, who could it be? The call really couldn't have come at a worse time!
He took a closer look, quickly answered, and it turned out to be Li Ziqing.
The two of them had a standing arrangement to call each other every evening. Today, Li Ziqing had called in the afternoon. Could something have happened?
"Hello, why are you calling at this time today?" Chen Xiao asked as soon as the call connected.
Li Ziqing: "Do I only get to call you in the evening? What's wrong, have I interrupted your good deeds, Director Chen?"
Chen Xiao chuckled, "What good deeds? I just finished my work and was about to take a nap."
"Alright, then it seems I have indeed disturbed your good deeds. Go to sleep, I'm hanging up!" Li Ziqing's voice was full of resentment.
Chen Xiao quickly said, "Don't hang up, you must have something to talk to me about, right?"
"Hmph... I'm asking you, have you missed me?" Li Ziqing asked with a delicate huff.
"What do you think..." Chen Xiao retorted.
"I want you to say it!"
"I have!"
"Heehee, you're sensible. If you miss me, then come and see me!" Li Ziqing let out a series of charming laughs.
Chen Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Where are you?"
"I'm right at the hospital entrance. I'll give you three minutes. If you don't come, it means you're lying to me..." Li Ziqing's words were cut off by a beeping sound from the other end of the line. It turned out Chen Xiao had hung up the phone.
And in less than two minutes, Chen Xiao had appeared before her.
As the saying goes, a brief separation is like a new marriage.
And for Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing, it could no longer be called a brief separation; they had been phone lovers for nearly a month.
When they met, it was like fire meeting thunder. They almost... on the street.
"Let's go to my car!" Li Ziqing said.
Chen Xiao thought about it and nodded, yes, the car was a good idea!
However, what happened after they got in the car was a little different from what Chen Xiao had imagined.
Li Ziqing's expression was serious as she asked Chen Xiao, "While I was away, have you been seeing anyone else behind my back?"
"Of course not!" Chen Xiao answered decisively, after all, 'recently,' he truly hadn't.
"Really? Why don't I believe you?" Then, Li Ziqing started the car.
Chen Xiao asked, "Where are we going?"
"To my place..." Li Ziqing's pretty face blushed.
After finally arriving at her apartment, Chen Xiao could no longer hold back. He lunged at Li Ziqing like a hungry tiger.
The thunder met the fire; Chen Xiao was the thunder, and Li Ziqing was the fire. The fire responded passionately to the thunder.
...
"No more, no more, I really can't anymore..." Li Ziqing panted, while Chen Xiao was still unsatisfied.
Seeing him like this, Li Ziqing wrinkled her delicate nose and complained in a soft voice, "I've been on a business trip for so long, and I'm exhausted. You don't even pity me, and you still... Hmph, I'm not talking to you!"
Chen Xiao hugged Li Ziqing tightly and said softly, "Is it that tiring? If it's that tiring, then don't do it anymore. Anyway, with the money we have now, we couldn't spend it all even if we lived eight lifetimes!"
Li Ziqing giggled, "If it was eight lifetimes before, then now it's eighteen lifetimes we couldn't spend it all..."
