Sure enough, after treating Director Zhu and Director Zhang, two more people immediately came, both specifically requesting to see Wan Yunting.
This caused the three young physicians in the Chinese medicine department and Nurse Yan to exclaim. They crowded at the door of Wan Yunting's consultation room, watching him treat patients inside, while Director Li Chengde willingly acted as his assistant, constantly chatting with those individuals.
This clearly indicated that those who specifically came to see Wan Yunting were all wealthy people.
Jiang Yichun returned midway and was very pleased to see so many people coming to see Wan Yunting.
"Director, if this continues, our Chinese medicine department might become famous," Li Chengde said excitedly after coming out.
"Haha."
Looking at Wan Yunting inside treating a patient, Jiang Yichun chuckled, "I thought I was burying his talent by having Junior Wan stay in our Chinese medicine department. But as the saying goes, gold will always shine. So, we've found a treasure this time."
"You are right, Director," Li Chengde agreed. Jiang Yichun did not go in to disturb Wan Yunting and instead left the Chinese medicine department, busy with the upcoming annual conference of the Huadu Chinese Medicine Association.
"Little Sun, go in and assist Physician Wan." Li Chengde pointed to the three young physicians. "All of you, learn well from Physician Wan, understand?"
"Yes, yes…" The three young physicians nodded repeatedly. Seeing so many people seeking treatment from Wan Yunting, and as physicians themselves of similar age, the vast difference filled them with envy.
By noon, Wan Yunting finished writing a prescription for his last patient, handing it to him with a smile. "Mr. Wang, your illness is not serious. Just take this prescription to the pharmacy downstairs to get the medicine. Brew it back home, eight bowls of water to two bowls, one dose each morning and evening. For three days, your stomach issues will be resolved."
"Good, good, thank you, Physician Wan." Mr. Wang took the prescription. Upon seeing the elegant Lishu calligraphy, he exclaimed his admiration again. This had almost become a standard compliment from every patient. After all, when a patient saw a physician with a calm smile, skilled treatment, and possessed such beautiful and breathtaking Lishu calligraphy, they would unconditionally believe that he could cure them.
After seeing off the last patient, Wan Yunting stretched his body and noticed it was already noon. He found it strange that Ke'er hadn't brought food for them to eat together. He recalled Ke'er's inexplicable anger that day and thought she might have been experiencing mood swings due to her period. Now, it seemed he had truly upset her.
In the emergency department next door.
"Ke'er, time to eat," a female doctor called out to Su Ke'er, who was examining a patient in the ward.
"Okay, you go ahead first." Su Ke'er nodded to her colleague and, after finishing the examination, she went upstairs to a lounge where many doctors and nurses were eating and chatting during their break.
"Ke'er, why didn't you go to the Chinese medicine department to deliver food today?" Upon seeing Su Ke'er sitting alone in a corner with a box of food, looking dejected, her colleagues immediately asked. Everyone knew that by lunchtime, Su Ke'er was always the first to rush out with two boxes of food to the Chinese medicine department, delivering them to Wan Yunting. Her absence today sparked curiosity.
Someone whispered, "Do I need to ask? It must be Ke'er's love rival appearing!"
"Love rival? Who?" Everyone turned into gossip reporters, questioning the knowledgeable female doctor.
"It's Old Master Fang Shoushan who left yesterday. I heard his granddaughter, Fang Yanxi, is Wan Yunting's first girlfriend. They were together during college. Later, because Wan Yunting was framed and imprisoned, Fang Yanxi transferred to study in England. Now that she's back, perhaps they're rekindling their romance!"
"Yes, I saw them go out on a date yesterday. Maybe Ke'er is upset because of this."
"So that's what happened. Then Ke'er is too pitiful."
"Exactly. She delivered so much food for him, and he ended up going on a date with his first love. Ke'er, you're not worth this."
"How detestable! Ke'er, that scumbag isn't worth our anger. Let's ignore him from now on." The colleagues around comforted Su Ke'er, but she continued to eat, her heart heavy. She had thought Wan Yunting would comfort her yesterday, but instead, she hadn't received even a single WeChat message from him. This made Su Ke'er very sad. Could it be that Brother Yunting had truly rekindled his romance with Fang Yanxi, and therefore, he had no thoughts of her?
A moment later, Wan Yunting appeared at the entrance of the emergency department. He was carrying two boxes of salted fish and eggplant claypot rice, Su Ke'er's favorite, which he had just packed from a small eatery outside.
However, as soon as he stepped through the doors of the emergency department, Wan Yunting clearly felt the strange glances and pointing from the female doctors and nurses around him.
"What a scumbag..." He could read their lips. They were cursing him. This made Wan Yunting bewildered.
"Physician Wan, why are you here?" Jiang Tongxin walked by and smiled as he saw Wan Yunting enter. "I'm here to bring Ke'er food."
"Ke'er?" Jiang Tongxin's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone became even colder. "Dr. Wan, Ke'er is very busy. You should go back."
Wan Yunting was confused. He watched Jiang Tongxin leave with a cold attitude, making him even more puzzled.
"Scumbag, get out quickly. Don't come looking for our Ke'er anymore." The female doctor walked over and spat at Wan Yunting. The other nurses also had the same attitude. This left Wan Yunting completely bewildered. How had he become a scumbag?
Helpless, he placed the salted fish and eggplant claypot rice at the front desk and called Su Ke'er. However, Su Ke'er, busy inside, had her phone on silent and didn't hear the ring. When she didn't answer, Wan Yunting sent her a message via WeChat, "The eggplant claypot rice is at the front desk. Hurry and come out to eat." After sending the message, Wan Yunting returned to the Chinese medicine department.
Su Ke'er, who had finished her work inside, came out. A nurse said to her, "Ke'er, that scumbag was here just now."
"Brother Yunting?" Su Ke'er's big eyes lit up. The nurse nodded. "Yes, he also brought two boxes of salted fish and eggplant claypot rice and left them at the front desk. Do you want me to take them to the backyard for Acai to eat?" (Acai is a dog).
"Oh, no." Su Ke'er quickly ran to the front desk, picked up the two boxes of salted fish and eggplant claypot rice, and left the emergency department, heading directly to the Chinese medicine department…
However, twenty minutes earlier, as Wan Yunting returned to the Chinese medicine department, he saw Ling Wei and Kuang Long waiting for him in the lobby with Han Duoer.
"You're back." Ling Wei turned, her charming eyes looking at Wan Yunting with a seductive gaze. "I was about to ask Kuang Long to go find you."
"Mm, let's go up." Knowing she was there for treatment, Wan Yunting didn't say much and invited them upstairs to his consultation room. He wanted to ask Ling Wei some things about her father, Ling Xianzong.
"Ms. Ling, your pulse is fine. Let's proceed directly to acupuncture treatment." After checking her pulse, Wan Yunting gestured towards the medical bed behind the screen, indicating they should get down to business.
Ling Wei smiled and nodded. Kuang Long and Han Duoer wisely went out, closing the door. Knowing the treatment would take an hour, they greeted each other and went out for lunch. Ling Wei, lying on the medical bed, was already prepared. Wan Yunting paused slightly upon entering but walked over naturally and began her treatment. The two exchanged conversation naturally, no longer feeling the awkwardness and shyness of their first meeting.
