Chapter 661: Zhou Jianmin's Plans

Ye Rufeng had a good impression of Dean Liu and Director Li, the two leaders of the military hospital.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi say that the other party was targeting him, he said, "Don't overthink it. They only invited us to visit and didn't mention anything else. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Ye Rufeng was cautious in his work, and he could tell that the two leaders were even more cautious.

Although they had previously discussed with Bai Zhi the possibility of collaborating on opening a renowned doctor's studio, they remained completely silent upon arriving today.

On the surface, they came to congratulate him on the opening of his clinic, but everyone could see that they were actually there to test his true intentions.

Ye Rufeng expressed his understanding of this.

Setting up a renowned doctor's studio in the military is no small matter. If their leaders don't show enough sincerity and attention, they wouldn't dare to cooperate with them.

"Grandpa, I believe that after Dean Liu and the others meet you today, they will be even more determined to cooperate with us."

Bai Zhi is very confident about this.

When she first proposed this collaboration idea, Dean Liu did not immediately refuse, but said that they would discuss it in detail when her grandfather came.

Today, the two leaders met my grandfather for the first time. It was just small talk, and they didn't get to the main topic, which is perfectly understandable.

After they visited the hospital, the leaders naturally got down to business.

Bai Zhi is very much looking forward to the collaboration with the military hospital to open a studio.

She desperately wanted to do something meaningful for her comrades in the army.

Only by opening a studio can she legitimately treat patients with special injuries in the future.

Of course, she hoped that her medical skills in detoxification would never be needed.

This means that all comrades are safe.

There were no ordinary people suffering from poisoning.

But she knew very well that it was impossible.

Where there is buying and selling, there is harm.

Some evils can never be eradicated.

All they can do is try their best to eliminate the harm caused by criminals.

Bai Zhi said, "Grandpa, there shouldn't be many people at the clinic this afternoon. I want to go home for a bit."

Ye Rufeng raised his eyes and looked at her with a deep gaze, "Why go back? The clinic just opened and you want to be a hands-off boss? Do you really just want to be the behind-the-scenes boss and make Linlin and me do all the hard work to make money for you?"

Bai Zhi, "!!!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet," Bai Zhi explained to the old man. "I've noticed you haven't been eating well these past few days. I'd like to go back and make you some braised fish to help you recover, and also steam some of your favorite eight-treasure rice. You've been working so hard lately."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Rufeng's expression softened.

He's been having a tough time lately, and he really misses that sweet eight-treasure rice.

He said, “You can stay here in our courtyard; there’s no need to go back to your family’s courtyard.”

“I didn’t go home yesterday. I wanted to go back and clean up,” Bai Zhi said. “We’re staying here. My house is all dirty. When Lu Ye comes home at night, it’ll be cold and quiet. He’s not used to it.”

Work is important, but she still wants to take care of her family as well.

In this life, she hopes her job will serve her family.

The essence of working and building a career is to make family life more fulfilling.

She hopes that every patient she treats can be happy and fulfilled.

Her own little family too.

Ye Rufeng rolled her eyes at her and bluntly exposed her, "I think you just miss that kid Lu Ye."

Bai Zhi smiled shyly, "Oh dear, isn't it normal for me to miss Lu Ye?"

Ye Rufeng rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to even look at her.

Bai Zhi immediately regained her composure, "Grandpa, let's go home for dinner tonight. I'll call my cousin later and ask if he has time to come over too."

Ye Rufeng hummed in agreement and said, "Also ask the girl he likes, and ask her to come along too."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi leaned over with a gossipy look on her face, "My cousin told you that's his girlfriend?"

"I figured it out myself."

Ye Rufeng's wise and experienced face revealed a faint expression. "Just from the way his eyes darted around, I knew what he meant."

His eyes were glued to the girl.

The two were exchanging glances; who couldn't see it?

Bai Zhi gave the old man a thumbs up, "Grandpa, you're really an experienced person."

"I'll go back and buy groceries first. When Lu Ye gets a day off later, I'll have him find a car to pick you up."

Ye Rufeng waved his hand, "No need to pick us up, we'll go back by ourselves in a bit."

"Anyway, there aren't many patients, and I'm bored sitting here, so I might as well close up shop early."

Bai Zhi dared not object and nodded, "Okay, then you two must be careful."

Bai Zhi rode her motorcycle to the market and bought a fish, some vegetables, red dates, and raisins.

I plan to make my grandfather's favorite eight-treasure rice tonight.

When Bai Zhi arrived at the family compound on her motorcycle, she ran into Zhou Jianmin.

Zhou Jianmin arrived at the residential compound on his bicycle. The two bumped into each other unexpectedly and were both stunned for a moment.

"Company Commander Zhou, why are you home so early?"

Zhou Jianmin said, "I have to go on duty tonight, so I came back to get some things."

He asked Bai Zhi, "Dr. Bai, didn't the clinic open? Why are you home so early?"

Bai Zhi parked her motorcycle and said with a smile, "My grandfather is seeing patients. I have nothing to do there, so I'll come back early to cook for them."

"Oh, I see." Zhou Jianmin's eyes flickered slightly.

"Company Commander Zhou, I'm going upstairs now." Bai Zhi said goodbye and carried the groceries upstairs.

"Okay." Zhou Jianmin hadn't even parked his bicycle yet, and he stood there lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

He quickly snapped out of his daze, ran upstairs, went inside, grabbed two pieces of clothing, and then rushed out the door. "Why are you in such a hurry? You didn't even tell me what you needed the clothes for?"

Zhou Jianmin hurriedly walked out, saying, "I'm going back to the army. I'm not going home today. You can cook for yourself. Don't wait for me."

After Zhou Jianmin finished speaking, he hurriedly carried his things downstairs again.

Wang Yumei noticed that there had been a noise coming from Bai Zhi's door, and she glanced at the doorway.

It seems that Bai Zhi has returned.

She glanced at their door, hesitated for a moment, and then went back downstairs.

As soon as Bai Zhi entered the house, she cleaned the fish and marinated it.

Then I started preparing the rice, washing the red dates and raisins, and planning to steam eight-treasure rice.

Then slowly make the other dishes.

I just prepared the ingredients and turned on the rice cooker.

Then someone knocked on the door.

She opened the door, and standing there were Wang Yumei and Liu Guifang.

"Sisters-in-law, what brings you here? Please come in." Bai Zhi smiled and stepped aside, inviting them into the house.

Liu Guifang said with a smile, "You're such a busy person now, you're often not home, and we can't even see you when we want to. Yumei just said you're back, so we came to see you."

Liu Guifang brought Bai Zhi another bowl of noodles.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Liu Guifang noticed that Bai Zhi was wearing an apron and asked, "Are you cooking so early?"

Bai Zhi nodded, "My maternal grandfather is coming to our house for dinner tonight, so I'll come back early to prepare."

Looking at the energetic Bai Zhi, Liu Guifang couldn't help but sigh, "You young people are so energetic. I've been selling noodles these past few days and I'm exhausted."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but yawn.
