Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 372 - 191: Way Too Overbearing, Just a Coward

It’s just that the honeymoon phase of love is always sweet at the start. Once you really start cohabitating, you gradually discover lots of flaws in the other person, and conflicts will slowly intensify.

Only those couples who can survive this adjustment period have a chance at smoothly entering the halls of marriage.

"Come on, we’re already at the door. Why aren’t you going in?"

Li Jingsheng said to her.

"Your clinic staff haven’t gotten off work yet, is it... appropriate for me to go in?"

She obviously got hit by her old shyness again.

"Don’t worry, we’re openly dating, it’s not like we’re doing anything shady. Come on, let’s go in and sit for a bit."

Li Jingsheng reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.

"Hey, hey, I’ll walk by myself. If you hold me while walking in and they see it, how embarrassing would that be!"

She immediately surrendered.

She took the lead and started walking into the clinic. From her somewhat hesitant steps, it was clear she was really nervous, like she was gritting her teeth and forging ahead.

The ugly bride always has to meet the in-laws eventually.

There’s always a first time for everything.

"Hello, may I help you with anything?"

Han Siying didn’t recognize Ou Qinglan, and upon seeing a beautiful woman arrive, she immediately greeted her warmly.

Tang Ping whispered a reminder to her from the side.

"This beautiful lady seems to be the boss’s girlfriend."

"Ah..."

She was shocked, and then looked at Ou Qinglan with a bit of apology.

At this moment, Ou Qinglan was even more flustered. She didn’t expect Li Jingsheng’s clinic to have three employees.

She turned around, wanting to leave because the atmosphere was quite awkward.

"Let me introduce, this is Dr. Ou Qinglan from the Second Hospital, she’s also my girlfriend. Please take good care of her."

Li Jingsheng’s introduction was very straightforward.

Ou Qinglan’s face turned red like a tomato again.

"Dr. Ou, don’t be reserved here. We all hope the boss finds us a mistress soon! Please, have some water!"

Tang Ping poured her a glass of water and brought it over.

She guided Ou Qinglan to the lounge area to avoid the awkwardness of standing while being scrutinized by everyone.

"Thank you!"

Ou Qinglan really didn’t dare to speak at this moment; she must have been extremely nervous inside.

With her head lowered, holding the water, her gaze was aimless.

"Boss, you can’t just treat the future mistress to milk tea and neglect us! We’ve been working so hard for the clinic, shouldn’t you reward us a bit too?"

Han Siying, who normally wasn’t very bold, seized the opportunity at this moment.

These days, Li Jingsheng had been helping her explain medical cases, taking her for consultations, like a teacher to her.

So, her relationship with Li Jingsheng had indeed gotten much closer.

"No problem, go buy some just across the street, get some roasted grass jelly!" Li Jingsheng wasn’t stingy at all with these tens of yuan. "Qinglan, would you like some? The roasted grass jelly across the street isn’t bad."

"I’ll pass, milk tea is mostly artificial flavoring, drinking too much isn’t good for health."

Ou Qinglan shook her head.

"Alright then, buy four cups, one for Sister Tang’s daughter too."

Li Jingsheng said to Han Siying.

"Ever since I saw that eleven-year-old girl who used snacks as meals getting bone cancer, I dared not let Niuniu eat such things anymore." Tang Ping had been genuinely scared by that incident.

That eleven-year-old girl had already had an amputation to save her life, but the consequences were likely still unpredictable.

"Then get two bottles of pure milk for Niuniu, the supermarket next door sells them."

Li Jingsheng looked at Han Siying.

"Okay!"

She happily ran off to buy roasted grass jelly.

Li Jingsheng first checked the clinic’s daily report and accounts, and then reviewed the day’s consultations.

At this point, Han Siying had already returned with the roasted grass jelly and milk.

Li Jingsheng reimbursed her on the spot.

"If you have nothing else, you’re done for the day! Be careful on your way home."

All three employees were well liked by Li Jingsheng.

He definitely didn’t want anything bad to happen to them.

Sometimes, he cared for his employees like a patriarch.

After making these arrangements, he took out his phone and called the landlord’s wife.

It rang for a while before it finally got picked up.

You could faintly hear the sound of playing mahjong.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, I’m Li Jingsheng, the one renting your place for a clinic."

Li Jingsheng introduced himself.

He had no idea how many properties or storefronts the landlord lady owned.

It’s always better to be clear.

"Oh, it’s you! So, you’re back at the clinic?"

"Yes! When do you have time to talk about renewing the lease?"

Li Jingsheng asked cautiously.

"I’m planning to take back the property, you’d better start looking for a new place to move into!"

The landlord’s wife said bluntly.

"Why do you suddenly want to take it back? My clinic shouldn’t be causing any damage to your property!"

Li Jingsheng froze upon hearing this.

He had expected the landlord might raise the rent, even negotiate if it went up by 15%.

But he didn’t expect her to straight up say she was taking the storefront back.

You know, Li Jingsheng had now built quite a client base, and the clinic’s business was thriving. Moving under these circumstances would result in huge losses!

Plus, finding a new location isn’t that easy.

This street is only over two hundred meters long, not even three hundred meters. You can see the end at a glance.

It’s hard to find available storefronts.

"I need it for myself. Just letting you know now, on the last day of your lease, I’ll come to reclaim the property. Of course, moving out two or three days early would be best."

The landlord’s wife stated very tyrannically.

"But my clinic is running well, you can’t just make me move out..."

Before Li Jingsheng could finish, the call was already disconnected.

She didn’t even bother to argue with him.

The three employees had already changed into their street clothes and listened to part of the conversation on the phone, all looking at the boss with concern.
