"You doctors."
Kang Hongwen pointed at He Tianxiang, Zhang Jianlin, and all the other doctors present, snorting, "You can't even compare to their cleaner!"
The words made the doctors present blush crimson with shame, yet they were unable to refute him.
"Mr. Kang is right, it's our hospital's fault. I apologize to you..."
Zhang Jianlin was obsequious. Although he knew Kang Hongwen was deliberately speaking this way, he plastered a fawning smile on his face, acting like a subservient grandson.
Wan Yunting shook his head and chuckled. He saw that all the doctors present were now looking at him with intense envy.
"Xiao Wan, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of the old lady at the hospital. I will certainly reward you handsomely later," Kang Hongwen said, turning to Wan Yunting.
"Alright."
Wan Yunting nodded.
As the company still had a meeting, Kang Hongwen and Secretary Lin left first.
Instantly, the doctors present straightened up.
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled as he looked at them, then turned to go back to the ward.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianlin shouted, "Stop!"
Wan Yunting turned back, looking at Zhang Jianlin's gloomy face and the unfriendly gazes of the doctors present, remaining calm and composed.
"You are very good. Take good care of President Kang's mother," Zhang Jianlin said, pointing at Wan Yunting through gritted teeth, then turned and walked out with a snort. The other doctors also shot him fierce glances before leaving.
Wan Yunting chuckled and shook his head, knowing that Kang Hongwen's mother was still hospitalized and depended on him, which was why Zhang Jianlin dared not do anything to him now.
However, it would be a different story once the old lady was discharged!
"Ke'er, let's go back."
Jiang Tongxin said nothing, calling Su Ke'er and leaving with everyone else.
Su Ke'er waved her little hand at Wan Yunting. He smiled and nodded. He went into the ward to check on the old lady. Seeing that her condition was stable, he gave a few instructions to Mrs. Zhou before coming out. He saw that He Chang, a physician from He Rentang, was still sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Doctor Wan's medical skills are superb, this junior brother admires you greatly."
Seeing him come out, He Chang quickly got up to greet him. Although older than Wan Yunting, he referred to himself as a junior brother.
"You flatter me..."
Wan Yunting smiled and waved his hand. He Chang nodded, "Doctor Wan is too modest. Just the massage techniques you used on the old lady just now are enough for me to study and learn from for a lifetime."
Wan Yunting smiled and shook his head. He Chang quickly pulled him to sit down and asked, "May I ask which master you studied under, Doctor Wan? To be able to teach such a young and exceptionally skilled talent like you, could you introduce me?"
Wan Yunting seemed to see through his intentions and smiled, "This junior brother is untalented, and my medical skills are not yet perfect. My master once warned me not to mention his name when practicing medicine outside, lest I disgrace him."
Because his master, the Ghost Hand Medical Sage, was special, Wan Yunting could not yet reveal his master's name, as the time was not right!
"Truly a master-level figure."
He Chang clicked his tongue twice, shaking his head in admiration, "It's no wonder such strictness in taking disciples produces such a high-caliber student. Admirable, truly admirable."
Wan Yunting smiled, seeing that this He Chang was a smooth operator.
"But Doctor Wan, with your incredible medical skills, why are you working as a cleaner at the hospital?" He Chang asked, finding it difficult to understand.
"I was just released from prison, and it's hard to find work, so I can only be a cleaner," Wan Yunting said with a calm smile.
"That's a strange thing to say."
He Chang glanced at him sideways. "With your medical skills, you could easily open your own clinic and earn money. It would be more than enough."
This remark hit home for Wan Yunting, and he asked, "To open a clinic, one needs a physician's qualification certificate and business permits, right?"
"Yes, you do."
He Chang nodded and asked, "Doctor Wan, do you not have a physician's qualification certificate?"
Wan Yunting shook his head.
He Chang was taken aback. "Did your master not issue you a certificate of apprenticeship so you could apply for a physician's qualification certificate?"
"For special reasons, I cannot," Wan Yunting shook his head.
"I understand, a reclusive master then."
He Chang understood, knowing that Wan Yunting must have learned his medical skills from some hidden master, which was why he had no apprenticeship documents.
"This is a bit difficult then," He Chang mused.
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow. He did indeed want to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to fulfill his master's wish!
"Without a certificate of proof of apprenticeship from your master, and not being a graduate of a formal traditional Chinese medicine university, there is only one path for you to obtain a physician's qualification certificate!" He Chang raised his index finger. Wan Yunting squinted, curious.
"Apprenticeship!" He Chang said.
Wan Yunting was stunned.
He Chang said, "Re-apprenticing under another master and having him issue you a certificate of apprenticeship would allow you to apply for a physician's qualification certificate with the health administrative department."
"So that's how it is."
Wan Yunting understood. He hadn't expected there to be so many intricacies involved in obtaining a physician's qualification certificate.
He Chang was about to say more when Wan Yunting's phone rang. It was his second brother, Wan Dongming.
Signaling He Chang to wait while he answered the phone, Wan Yunting walked a few steps away and pressed the answer button. "Second brother, do you need something?"
"Third brother, are you at the hospital?"
Wan Dongming, who was at the hospital's main entrance at that moment, smiled and said, "I didn't have time to welcome you yesterday. Today, second brother will take you out for a good meal. Hurry up and come out, I'm waiting for you at the hospital entrance."
"Alright, I'm coming out now."
As he also had something to ask his second brother, Wan Yunting hung up the phone and said to He Chang with a smile, "Doctor He, I have to go out for a while."
"Alright, please go ahead," He Chang stood up and handed Wan Yunting a business card. "Doctor Wan, if you ever need anything, please call me anytime."
Wan Yunting took the business card and nodded. He then went to the ward to bid farewell to Madam Zhou before leaving.
He Chang narrowed his eyes, watching him leave, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a talent! If only he could be put to use by me..."
Wan Yunting, after changing into a different set of clothes, saw his second brother Wan Dongming at the main entrance as expected.
"Third brother."
Wan Dongming went up and patted Wan Yunting on the shoulder. "Let's go, second brother will take you to lunch. We'll have a good drink or two."
"Alright."
Wan Yunting smiled. The brothers drove out and went to a nice restaurant for a meal.
Wan Dongming ordered a table full of good dishes and two bottles of good wine. The two brothers clinked glasses and downed the baijiu in one gulp.
"How is your work at the hospital? What's your position, are you getting used to it?" Wan Dongming asked.
"I'm in medical support, just running errands. It's not bad," Wan Yunting said, eating his food, not telling the whole truth.
Wan Dongming sighed with guilt. "Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to work in the company, but who would have thought..."
"Second brother, I'm doing well at the hospital. You don't need to worry about me," Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled.
Speaking of guilt, it should be his own, so he didn't want to trouble Wan Dongming and his elder sister.
"How is second sister-in-law, is she feeling any better?" Wan Yunting changed the subject.
"Her mother hired a Chinese physician named Zhou Fengnian, who examined your second sister-in-law. After taking two doses of Chinese medicine, the effect is quite good," Wan Dongming said with a smile.
"That's good."
Wan Yunting nodded. He didn't know any physician named Zhou Fengnian. As long as his second sister-in-law was fine, that was all that mattered.
"Second brother, what's going on with elder sister?"
Then Wan Yunting shifted the topic again. This was the real reason he had come for this meal!
Wan Dongming froze, his chopsticks paused mid-air, and he looked up at him.
Wan Yunting put down his chopsticks. "I heard that elder sister's husband, Cheng Kai, often abuses her. Is this true?"
Wan Dongming also put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and took a large gulp before sighing, "Don't concern yourself with elder sister's affairs."
"Why?"
Wan Yunting's eyes widened, and his voice rose a notch, filled with bewilderment.
Wan Dongming put down his wine glass. "When elder sister married Cheng Kai, it was for our Wan Shi Group!"
These words made Wan Yunting's heart tremble. It was still because of him!
"I also tried to persuade elder sister, but..." Wan Dongming looked distressed, unable to speak.
Because he was just a live-in son-in-law of the Wang family, considered useless by his mother-in-law and a gigolo by outsiders, Wan Dongming also wished he could stand up for his elder sister.
However, Cheng Kai was the chairman of Cheng Quan Group, a second-tier group in Huadu's business circles, not even comparable to the Wang Group. What could he, Wan Dongming, use to fight against them!
"In any case, don't concern yourself with this matter. Your well-being is most important now. We'll take things step by step later," Wan Dongming waved his hand, picked up his wine glass, and drank another glass by himself, feeling stifled.
Wan Yunting could also see the frustration in his second brother's heart, knowing that his own ideas were too simplistic.
The two brothers drank for over an hour until Wan Dongming could drink no more. Wan Yunting then called a designated driver for him.
"Oh, right, third brother, your second sister-in-law's sister is having a birthday tomorrow. There will be a birthday party at their house. I'll pick you up to attend it and introduce you to some influential figures in the business world..." Wan Dongming said vaguely, his speech slurred from drinking.
"Alright, let's get in the car first."
Wan Yunting helped him into the car, gave instructions to the designated driver, and watched his second brother's sedan slowly drive away.
"Hoo..."
Wan Yunting lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke with a heavy sigh. His brow furrowed. He stood by the roadside, watching the passing vehicles and pedestrians, his heart feeling heavy.
After finishing the cigarette, he hailed a taxi back to the hospital.
To change the current situation, he could only start with himself!
