Chapter 373 - 191: Too Overbearing, Just a Sneaky Rat
Small clinic, so full of woes.
When business was bad, it was worrying.
Now that business has improved, troubles come one after another.
They and the boss are all managing cautiously and trying hard, just afraid something might happen.
No matter how alert they are day and night, problems still came up.
And it’s a problem big enough to destroy the clinic.
"It’s okay, you three can get off work first! I’ll find a way to deal with the clinic’s storefront issues, just focus on your work."
Li Jingsheng said to his three employees.
Tang Ping initially wanted to stay, but seeing that Ou Qinglan was in the clinic, what would it mean if she stayed?
She was worried it would cause misunderstandings.
In the end, all three employees left.
It was clear they were burdened with worries, full of concern.
With their future and work at stake, of course, the three were worried!
Listening to the landlady’s domineering tone, there’s no room for negotiation.
Just finding a new storefront is a big deal, a huge loss for the clinic.
Li Jingsheng encountered another major hurdle in his life.
"It’s okay, I believe you can overcome any difficulty."
Ou Qinglan came over and placed her hand on his shoulder.
This was to tell Li Jingsheng that no matter how big the difficulty, she would be there by his side.
"You’re right, any difficulty can be overcome. As long as our thoughts don’t falter, there’ll be more ways than challenges. Come on, let’s go see a movie."
Li Jingsheng forced a somewhat smiling face.
The clinic faced such a big crisis; how could he not be anxious!
"No, let’s not go. I’ll accompany you in the clinic instead. We can also brainstorm some solutions together, maybe you can give me the landlady’s contact, and I’ll try talking to her."
Seeing Li Jingsheng in trouble, how could Ou Qinglan selfishly care only about her own enjoyment!
She no longer felt like watching a movie.
"I promised to accompany you for a movie today; the tickets are already booked. Come on! I’ll slowly figure a way for the storefront issue; we still have over a month anyway."
Li Jingsheng turned her hand over, held it, and gently embraced her waist.
This time, she was still nervous but did not object.
Instead, she leaned closer to Li Jingsheng.
"Really, let’s not go. Just refund the tickets. Give me the landlady’s contact."
She was very resolute.
Li Jingsheng had no choice but to give her the landlady’s phone number.
But after she got the number, she didn’t dial it immediately.
"Really want to stay and keep me company in the clinic?"
"Of course! Love is about mutual understanding and support. Now that you’re facing difficulties, I’ll definitely confront them with you. As long as I can, I’ll find a way to help you."
She answered seriously.
"I’ll close the clinic door first; otherwise, people coming in constantly can be annoying."
"Okay!"
She nodded in agreement.
Li Jingsheng pulled down the shutter door, and instantly the clinic turned into their private world.
"Qinglan, I’ll refund the tickets, then."
"Refund them!"
She gladly agreed.
"What fruit do you like? There are some in the fridge and more on the floor next to it. They were gifts from others; I seldom eat them. You can come and get some after work."
Many were apology gifts from local pharmacy owners.
Sometimes when a patient’s cured, it’s banners and fruits, and it’s hard to refuse.
After accepting them, Li Jingsheng often gave a little to the three employees as welfare.
Especially Tang Ping, he gave the most.
Because she has kids, gifting her some fruit saves her from buying them.
After refunding the tickets.
Ou Qinglan took out a durian.
"I like this, though it’s a bit strong-smelling, is that okay?"
She certainly knows how to pick.
Picks only the most expensive and nutritious ones.
"No problem, no one else is here anyway. I’ll grab a knife to help you open it!"
Li Jingsheng doesn’t cook but has a kitchen knife to help cut it open.
She washed her hands and ate straight away.
She seemed to enjoy it thoroughly.
"Come on, open wide, durian’s good for you. You’re almost letting it go bad without eating."
She fed Li Jingsheng.
Being fed by a girlfriend felt quite nice, similar to ancient emperors and nobles who loved this.
Rest on a beauty’s lap, then open their mouth waiting to be fed.
"Drunk lies on a beauty’s lap, wakes to rule the world" is how it goes. Ultimate pursuit for men.
"How much would a storefront like this cost?"
Ou Qinglan asked inadvertently.
"There’s no set price; market value is around one hundred fifty to sixty thousand."
Li Jingsheng felt rather gloomy; at his current income, given another half year, he’d be able to buy a storefront himself.
Sudden changes were unexpected.
"Up to one hundred sixty thousand can buy it, right?"
She confirmed.
"Madam, do you think you can buy a storefront just like that? One hundred sixty thousand, many people can’t save that much in a lifetime. Do I look like someone who could come up with such a huge amount?"
Li Jingsheng replied, a bit speechless.
Ou Qinglan may lack societal experience, being overly naïve in many things.
"Annoying, you haven’t married me yet and keep calling me madam!" Her pretty face showed a shy blush. "I’m just asking about prices, not saying I want to buy. Besides, people are allowed to dream, right?"
She again popped a peeled durian piece into Li Jingsheng’s mouth.
There’s a saying, bad luck at gambling, lucky in love.
Is Li Jingsheng facing setbacks but fortunate in love?
