Chapter 648: The Clinic's Unveiling

Just as Bai Zhi was about to take Ye Tiandong into the clinic, she received another call from Lu Hai.

He said he and his father had arrived at the station and were asking for the address.

Jincheng is only a five-hour drive from here. They took the train at five in the morning, arriving right on time.

Bai Zhi said, "Don't move at the station, Lu Ye will come to pick you up soon."

Upon hearing that her husband and son had arrived, Wang Shufen also wanted to go with Lu Ye to pick them up.

"Take your second aunt with you, look how anxious she is."

Lu Ye nodded, signaling Wang Shufen to get in the car, and the two headed to the station.

The small county town is only so big; it takes less than ten minutes to drive from the station to the clinic.

A short while later, Lu Ye's jeep returned.

The car door opened, and Lu Shaoan and his son, dressed in suits, stepped out.

Lu Shaoan had a small leather bag tucked under his arm, and his hair was neatly combed.

The two of them exude the aura of businessmen.

This drew everyone's attention to them.

Wang Shufen, standing beside Lu Shaoan, was all smiles and looked quite pleased with herself.

"Big brother, sister-in-law." Lu Shaoan walked up to Lu Zhengan first to greet him.

He then waved to everyone.

"Go and say hello to Uncle Ye first," Lu Zheng'an said. "Oh, and Uncle Sun, Dad's old comrade-in-arms, is also here. Go in and greet him."

"Xiao Hai's mom has already told me, so I'll go say hello first."

Lu Shaoan, carrying a small leather bag, entered the clinic.

Lu Hai didn't follow his father inside; instead, he looked up and examined the clinic's entrance.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to settle down here from now on?" he asked Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi echoed, "Yes, to take root."

Lu Hai clicked his tongue twice, indicating his disbelief.

This place is just as bad as the environment at their Jincheng Coal Mine Company.

Having lived in Nancheng for so long and witnessed its prosperity, how did Bai Zhi convince herself to stay in this small county town and start a business?

Lu Hai immediately thought of him and his father.

Benefit.

Yes, it's all about profit.

No matter the environment, a good place is one where you can make money.

He secretly guessed that Bai Zhi must have done a survey of the surrounding environment before choosing to open her clinic here.

It's probably because there are many patients that the clinic has a promising future.

But then he thought, there must be many patients in this remote and impoverished area, but it's hard to say whether they have the money for treatment.

It's impossible that Bai Zhi wouldn't have thought of this.

So, is she just doing this for love?

Of course, as a girl, she's definitely also prone to being in love.

He was willing to endure any hardship to follow Lu Ye.

But one thing that must be admitted is that his cousin deserves it; he's a military officer with a bright future.

Meeting the mixed gazes of Lu Hai, Bai Zhi said frankly, "I think this place is great. The people here are simple and kind, and they are all good-hearted. The people here need me, and I am happy to settle down here."

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing! I admire you so much." Lu Hai gave Bai Zhi a thumbs up.

At this moment, Lu Hai made an even bigger decision: when he got back, he would definitely ask his father for his opinion and bring Lu Luya to work at their coal mining company.

Only by honing her skills under their watchful eyes can that girl truly grow up. Staying in the southern city is like being a flower in a greenhouse, unaware of human suffering and unable to withstand the storms of life.

He mentioned this matter after the New Year. At that time, Lu Ya had just been found and was not in a very stable emotional state.

He suggested that Lu Ya go work at the coal mine with them, but Lu Ya was full of resistance.

After that incident, Lu Ya felt guilty and was quite afraid of him and his father.

At that time, his mother stood up to protect her son again, saying that Lu Ya should find a job in Nancheng first, and then go to Jincheng when she was more mature.

Bai Zhi and Lu Ya are about the same age, and Bai Zhi has already established a clinic in an impoverished area to heal the sick. Why would Lu Ya be afraid of hardship while working in her own company?

So what if the conditions are tough?

They can earn money without hard work, enough to live a life of luxury.

Around noon, Liu Guifang and Wang Yumei, being neighbors, also came over to offer their congratulations.

Of course, Liu Guifang was invited by Bai Zhi.

Wang Yumei was sent by Zhou Jianmin to congratulate him on his behalf.

The auspicious time had arrived, and Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi unveiled the plaque, while Ye Qingbai and Lu Ye and the others were responsible for setting off firecrackers.

At this moment, Qingyuan County Derentang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic officially opened.

Everyone offered them their warmest congratulations.

Lu Shaoan naturally handed over a large red envelope.

Lu Ye and Lu Zheng'an made a special reservation at a restaurant, and everyone went there for lunch together.

Old Sun and Ye Rufeng had a very pleasant conversation. They had originally planned to come and congratulate Bai Zhi before leaving, but now they were reluctant to leave.

Invited by Ye Rufeng, they went to the restaurant for dinner together.

With many guests and everyone busy socializing, coupled with deliberate avoidance, Ye Rufeng and Ye Tiandong and his son never officially met.

Even Ye Qingbai couldn't find an opportunity to introduce Shen Qian to his second grandfather.

Of course, there are opportunities ahead.

But Shen Qian backed down, so he had no choice but to give up.

But Ye Qingbai was unwilling to give up, and he had been putting all his effort into pursuing Shen Qian these past few days.

Although he was busy with work and rarely had the opportunity to go out, he still tried every means to meet her, bring her delicious food, and show her concern. Now, at least her roommates in the dormitory know him.

Next, he needs to work hard to persuade Shen Qian to give him a proper status in front of his family.

His cousin is here. If he finds out that he has a girlfriend, he will definitely tell his father when he gets back.

His father was overjoyed when he heard the news.

Most importantly, knowing he has a girlfriend, I won't bother trying to set him up with someone else.

Ye Qingbai was walking side by side with Shen Qian when he casually touched her fingertips, tentatively trying to take her hand.

Sensing his actions, Shen Qian glanced in alarm at the acquaintances walking around them, glared at him, and quickly put her hands in her pockets.

Is this kid crazy?

As everyone walked toward the restaurant, surrounded by familiar faces, what was he being so flirtatious about?

They actually thought of holding hands in front of everyone?

Are you deliberately trying to make everyone see this?

Even if you're going to make your relationship public, there's no need to do it in such a flamboyant way.

The older generation may not be able to accept it.

Shen Qian quickly caught up with Bai Zhi ahead, deliberately keeping a distance from Ye Qingbai.

Ye Qingbai awkwardly touched his nose and caught up with her.

Lu Ye booked a total of three tables.

The elders then sat down together.

Ye Tiandong and Cui Hua sat at another table, with Lu Shaoan and Wang Shufen next to them.

Lu Ye walked over and spoke respectfully to Ye Tiandong.

"Uncle, please sit with my parents."

Lu Zheng'an also came over to warmly welcome Ye Tiandong, insisting that he sit with them.

"I'll talk to Mr. Ye and the others about business matters."

"Let's talk after dinner. Tonight we'll have drinks with my second son and his family."

Lu Shaoan was quite perceptive; he smiled and said, "Yes, let's have a drink and chat later."

Lu Ye glanced at the seats; there was an empty seat next to him. He could ask his second uncle to go over, but his second aunt would definitely sit next to him.

If the couple separates, they fear their second aunt will find fault with them.

"Second Uncle, come over too. I'd like to sit and chat with my Second Aunt and Sister Cui."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Wang Shufen readily agreed, and Cui Hua also urged Ye Tiandong to sit at that table.

Ye Tiandong wasn't stubborn today and went to the main table with Lu Zheng'an and Lu Shao'an.

Seeing the group of them sitting together, Xie Yun got up and walked over, saying he wanted to sit down and chat with them.
