“Xiu Yuan Tang!”
Liu He and Xue Xialan, Li Tianyi and Li Wenhail, as well as Liu Yuan and other people from the medical hall, watched as Wan Yunting and the others unveiled the red cloth from the plaque, revealing the three characters "Xiu Yuan Tang," followed by thunderous applause from the surrounding crowd…
Lin Tianheng and the others twisted the firecrackers, sending colorful confetti flying everywhere, while Ouyang Fanmeng, Qi Miaomiao, Wang Zhuyu, and others cheered…
“As expected of Wan Shuxian, his Jin Ti calligraphy is so square and upright, exuding a kingly demeanor, sharp!”
The surrounding people, looking at the three characters "Xiu Yuan Tang" on the plaque, couldn’t help but praise.
Someone asked, “Doctor Wan, what is the significance behind the name Xiu Yuan Tang?”
Wan Yunting turned to face everyone and said with a smile, “It’s actually very simple. Taking the character ‘Yuan’ as an example, everyone should understand ‘Yuan Qi,’ which is the chaotic energy before the separation of heaven and earth. It is also a form of Yuan Qi in our bodies, also known as spiritual energy!”
“The so-called Xiu Yuan is to help everyone correct their Yuan Qi and enhance their spiritual energy through medical skills.”
“What a great name…”
At once, everyone applauded and praised.
Wan Yunting quickly invited everyone, “If you are interested, please come inside our medical hall for a visit.”
“Alright…”
Saying this, the people from the upper circles did not hesitate and went into the medical hall to visit.
Gu Luotang and Ouyang Fanmeng, along with their grandfather Ouyang Shen and granduncle Ouyang Xingteng, also went in to tour the medical hall…
“Vice Chairman Liu, would you like to come in for a visit?”
Wan Yunting turned back and saw Liu He and Xue Xialan still there, asking with a smile.
“No, we have matters to attend to at the association later, so we must be going,” Liu He said, waving his hand with a smile. In his heart, he scoffed, “Who would want to come in and look.”
“Alright, but there will be plenty of opportunities to invite you for a visit in the future,” Wan Yunting said with a forced smile.
Liu He smiled and said nothing more. The moment he turned to leave, his smiling face instantly vanished, revealing a gloomy and annoyed expression. He led Xue Xialan and Li Tianyi back to Liu Ping Tang.
Wan Yunting watched them leave, a smirk playing on his lips. He didn’t pay them much mind and turned to enter the medical hall. He then saw Wang Zhuyu at the entrance, tidying up the fallen debris with the ordinary staff. Wan Yunting waved, “Zhuyu, let them clean it up.”
“Oh, okay…”
Seeing her master call her, Wang Zhuyu went over to join him in entering the medical hall, beginning to tour the premises under Du Hua’s introduction.
After all, Wan Yunting had not been involved in the medical hall’s renovation from the start; Du Hua had handled all the arrangements. Therefore, this was Wan Yunting’s first time in the medical hall, and he naturally wanted to tour his own establishment properly.
On the second floor of Liu Ping Tang, opposite their building.
“This Wan Yunting suddenly opening a medical hall, what exactly does he want to do?”
Li Wenhail was somewhat perplexed. Given Wan Yunting’s status, why would he suddenly open a medical hall?
“Exactly. The news a while ago said he went back to work at their Chaoting Group, so why is he suddenly opening a medical hall here?”
Li Tianyi also didn’t understand. Logically speaking, Wan Yunting had no need to open a medical hall to earn money. After all, his wealth was such that even if Liu He and the others combined, they couldn’t match him.
Liu He’s expression was gloomy, and he frowned, scoffing, “No matter what his purpose is for opening this medical hall, the fact that he opened it on our Heping Street shows he doesn’t take us seriously!”
“And it’s right opposite my Liu Ping Tang!”
Liu Yuan, Liu He’s paternal uncle, was also annoyed thinking about it. He said, “I don’t care who he is, but his medical hall will absolutely not survive for a month!”
These words made Xue Xialan and Li Tianyi exchange glances. Liu He also nodded, his eyes narrowing with a sharp glint, saying, “Uncle, you can discreetly inform others. We absolutely cannot let Wan Yunting open his medical hall here so easily!”
Liu Yuan’s lips curved into a wicked smile, saying, “Don’t worry. How can others stand idly by while Wan Yunting steals business on this street? I guess they are already hatching wicked schemes in their hearts!”
Liu He’s gloomy face also broke into a wicked smile. He stood up and said to Liu Yuan with a smile, “I’ll leave this matter to you, Uncle. We’ll be leaving now.”
“Go ahead,”
Liu Yuan nodded, then escorted Liu He, Xue Xialan, and the others downstairs to leave.
As the group emerged, they glanced up at Wan Yunting’s Xiu Yuan Tang medical hall opposite. It was their opening day, with people coming and going continuously. However, most people left after offering their congratulations.
Liu He’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he looked at the Xiu Yuan Tang plaque opposite, a cold smirk on his lips, “I want to see how long this plaque can last before it’s torn down!”
Wan Yunting, who was on the second floor touring the consultation area with Gu Yuanbai and the others, came out onto a small balcony and saw Liu He and Xue Xialan getting into their car and leaving. At the same time, Liu Yuan, standing at the entrance of Liu Ping Tang, looked up and met Wan Yunting’s gaze from the second-floor balcony from afar. Liu Yuan’s gaze was unfriendly, and he let out a cold snort before turning and going inside.
“Elder Gu, he is Liu Lao’s second son, Liu Yuan, isn’t he?” Wan Yunting asked, looking at Liu Yuan’s retreating figure.
“Yes, this Liu Yuan is usually responsible for their Liu family’s medical hall and is also the attending physician there. His medical skills are quite good,”
Gu Yuanbai nodded. He had also noticed Liu Yuan’s unfriendly gaze just now and turned to Wan Yunting, saying, “It seems they won’t let you open your medical hall peacefully from now on!”
Wan Yunting’s lips curved into a smile, “I opened the medical hall here precisely to provoke these people and see what methods they will use to deal with me!”
Gu Yuanbai nodded. Wan Yunting remembered something and asked, “I heard that Kong Jingguo is leaving the Health and Family Planning Commission, and Tan Jianlin will be taking his place?”
Gu Yuanbai nodded and said, “I heard that too, and I also know that Tan Jianlin seems to have a very good relationship with Liu Pingyi. I heard that Tan Jianlin had a serious illness years ago, and it was Liu Pingyi who cured him!”
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and said, “If that’s the case, then with Tan Jianlin becoming the Minister of the Health and Family Planning Commission, he will likely side with the Liu family!”
Gu Yuanbai laughed, “Now they want to sideline me and force me to step down!”
Wan Yunting’s eyes narrowed with a sharp glint, and he nodded, saying, “Therefore, we absolutely cannot let you step down. Otherwise, if the entire Chinese Medicine Association falls into the hands of the Liu family, it will not be long before it becomes the second Sima family.”
Gu Yuanbai nodded. After a moment, he turned and patted Wan Yunting’s shoulder, saying with a smile, “The next step is up to you!”
Wan Yunting smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Elder Gu, I will investigate them in secret!”
Gu Yuanbai nodded. Seeing that it was getting late, he didn’t chat further. He went inside to greet Du Hua and the others, then left.
After touring the medical hall, Wan Yunting saw his grandfather and granduncle and Uncle Zhihui off. Ouyang Fanmeng stayed behind, wanting to see how her elder brother treated patients.
On the first floor, Wan Yunting gathered everyone in the medical hall for a brief meeting. Du Hua, the two pharmacists Mo Yaolin and Huang Fuxiang, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, and Wang Zhuyu, along with four employees, two men and two women, looked at Wan Yunting, their faces unable to hide their excitement and nervousness.
Wan Yunting smiled at them and said, “Don’t be so nervous. Let’s start with self-introductions.”
The tall young man wearing glasses said excitedly to Wan Yunting, “Doctor Wan, I just graduated from Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My name is Chen Lin.”
“I also graduated from Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My name is Huang Pengyi,” said the clean-cut, not-so-tall young man excitedly.
The girl wearing a dress and of short stature, who was quite attractive, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, looked at Wan Yunting excitedly and said, “I’m also a graduate of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My name is Zeng Xiaomeng.”
“My name is Sun Xue, also a graduate.”
Another girl dressed fashionably and with outstanding looks was a bit more composed. She smiled and introduced herself to Wan Yunting.
“Yes, I’ve remembered your names.”
Wan Yunting looked at the four of them and smiled, nodding as he remembered them. He knew that Du Hua had specifically recruited these graduates from Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, mainly to train them.
“You four will be responsible for the daily operations of the medical hall. If you have any questions, you can speak to Teacher Du or directly to me,” Wan Yunting said to the four of them with a gentle smile.
“Okay…”
The four of them smiled and nodded.
Wan Yunting turned to Wang Zhuyu and said with a smile, “Zhuyu, you will be responsible for the work on the second and third floors.”
“Okay.”
Wang Zhuyu nodded, feeling even happier. She knew that by working alongside Wan Yunting, she could learn a lot.
“Pharmacist Mo and Pharmacist Huang will naturally be in charge of the apothecary,” Wan Yunting said with a smile to Mo Yaolin and Huang Fuxiang.
“Mm…”
The two pharmacists smiled and nodded.
Wan Yunting turned to Du Hua and said with a smile, “Senior Brother Du, the daily procurement and management of the medical hall will be your responsibility.”
Du Hua nodded and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I can manage the medical hall well for you.”
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, knowing that Du Hua had been working at Gu Yuanbai’s medical hall all along. He was an expert in managing medical halls, which was why Wan Yunting had asked Du Hua to stay, although only for three months.
“However, I’ll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Du, to mentor Zhuyu and have her involved in the medical hall’s management,” Wan Yunting said, pointing to Wang Zhuyu and entrusting her to Du Hua.
Wang Zhuyu was also surprised. Du Hua looked at her and nodded with a smile, “Alright, I’ll get her up to speed as soon as possible.”
“Brother Yunting, what about me then?” Qi Miaomiao asked impatiently.
Wan Yunting turned to look at Qi Miaomiao and Gu Luotang, smiling, “Luotang will naturally be an attending physician. As for you, Miaomiao, you can help out on the second floor.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Miaomiao became unhappy and pouted, “Brother Yunting, I can actually see patients as an attending physician, really. I’ve improved a lot now.”
Gu Luotang beside her chuckled and covered her mouth, giving her a playful glare, “Miaomiao, you should just forget about it. Don’t ruin Brother Yunting’s reputation.”
“Tsk, Senior Sister, you look down on me.”
Qi Miaomiao said indignantly, rolling her eyes. However, Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang found it amusing, and they knew this girl’s capabilities. Having her help out in the medical hall, preparing decoctions, and the like, would be absolutely fine.
But for her to be an attending physician and treat patients, Qi Miaomiao truly lacked the skill.
To put it bluntly, this girl was simply playful and hadn’t studied diligently, which was why her medical skills had never improved. However, it was good that this girl was sincere and could still be of some help…
