Since parting ways with Li Se last time, Yu Zhidie had been searching for a new godfather. She finally found one two hours ago, and his status was incredibly noble, even more impressive than Tang Xiaochen's. Thus, she rushed to find Li Se to show off.
However, she failed to notice her godfather's expression gradually changing.
"Isn't this the Marquis?" Li Se raised an eyebrow. They met again after only a few hours, and the Marquis changed goddaughters incredibly fast, didn't he?
A few hours ago, his goddaughter was Jiang Manni. After such a short time, she had already been replaced by Yu Zhidie.
Indeed, Yu Zhidie's godfather was none other than the Marquis.
"Divine Doctor Li, is this clinic yours?" The Marquis looked like he was about to cry. After all, this was his savior, but he was truly frustrated. Why did both his goddaughters have to offend Li Se?
"No, it's run by the Chinese Medicine Association. Are you here to settle the score for your goddaughter?" Li Se said with a half-smile.
*Slap!*
Without the slightest hesitation, the Marquis raised his hand and slapped Yu Zhidie across the face, shouting angrily, "Apologize to Divine Doctor Li quickly! What kind of person are you, daring to offend Divine Doctor Li!"
Yu Zhidie was stunned. She had called the Marquis over, so why was he hitting her?
"Marquis, did you make a mistake?" her agent couldn't help but say.
*Slap!*
The Marquis was short-tempered and directly slapped the agent, "Is this your place to speak?"
The agent immediately fell silent.
"Li Se, I'm sorry," Yu Zhidie could only apologize.
"Louder!" the Marquis roared.
Yu Zhidie trembled and raised her voice, "Li Se, I'm sorry!"
"Get lost! If you dare to provoke Divine Doctor Li again, I'll make sure you can't survive in the entertainment industry!" the Marquis said coldly.
"Yes." Yu Zhidie left in a panic.
"Divine Doctor Li, I'm truly sorry. My goddaughter is still young and foolish," the Marquis said apologetically.
"You've come at the perfect time. I'll write you a prescription. Take it for a while," Li Se wrote down a prescription and handed it to the Marquis.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Li!" the Marquis said gratefully.
Many patients, seeing that the matter had been resolved, showed no surprise, as this was not the first time they had witnessed such a scene.
After a day of consultations, Li Se stretched his arms, preparing to have dinner with Huang Shanshan. Just then, an exceptionally beautiful woman arrived, none other than Qian Yinghong.
Previously, Li Se had planned to introduce Qian Yinghong to Yun Meng Company, but he didn't expect her to come looking for him herself. This was a good opportunity to bring up the matter.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist. Li Se turned his head and saw Huang Shanshan pinching his waist with a smile. It was obvious she was jealous.
"Doctor Li, do you have time for dinner?" Qian Yinghong asked.
"Sure, I have something I wanted to discuss with you," Li Se nodded, but the pinching in his waist intensified.
"Miss Huang, would you like to join us?" Qian Yinghong naturally knew that Huang Shanshan was Li Se's woman, and inviting Li Se alone like this would surely incur Huang Shanshan's displeasure.
"I won't be going," Huang Shanshan said indifferently.
Li Se and Qian Yinghong soon arrived at Yue Man Lou.
"You treated my herniated disc before, and I haven't properly thanked you yet," Qian Yinghong said with a smile.
Li Se chuckled, "Miss Qian, you're too kind. However, I do have a favor to ask of you."
"Oh, what favor?" Qian Yinghong asked busily.
"I have a cosmetic company that needs a makeup artist, and I'd like to invite you to take on the role," Li Se stated truthfully.
Qian Yinghong immediately showed a look of difficulty. "Divine Doctor Li, it's not that I don't want to work for you, but I found a job a while ago and signed the contract. So, I can't join your company."
"Alright." Li Se looked somewhat disappointed.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
A knock sounded at the private room door.
"Oh my, Yinghong, I knew I wasn't mistaken. It's really you." A middle-aged man in a suit walked in.
"Director Zhang," Qian Yinghong said politely.
"Are you having dinner with a friend?" Director Zhang asked.
"Yes." Qian Yinghong nodded.
"I'm entertaining a client next door. You can come over later," Director Zhang said, then nodded at Li Se and left the room.
"Is this your current boss?" Li Se asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I need to go over. Please wait for me here," Qian Yinghong said apologetically.
"Okay." Li Se didn't pay it much mind.
Qian Yinghong soon arrived at the adjacent private room. Several people were already seated inside, including the Director Zhang who had just spoken.
"Yinghong, come, sit next to Minister Yan," Director Zhang beckoned.
The Minister Yan he mentioned was a balding, stout man. Upon seeing Qian Yinghong, he looked as if he were about to drool.
Qian Yinghong frowned slightly but still sat down.
"Minister Yan, this is Qian Yinghong, our makeup artist and also from the design department, as I mentioned to you," Director Zhang introduced Qian Yinghong and then introduced Minister Yan to her. "Yinghong, this is a minister from our largest partner company. You must entertain him well."
"Minister Yan, I'll toast you," Qian Yinghong said, raising her wine glass.
"Designer Qian is truly beautiful," Minister Yan chuckled, his hand inadvertently brushing against Qian Yinghong's hand.
Qian Yinghong's eyebrows furrowed. She didn't know if Minister Yan's action was intentional or accidental, but a spark of anger already ignited within her. However, due to Director Zhang's presence, she drank the wine.
"Minister Yan, Director Zhang, my friend is waiting next door, I need to go back," Qian Yinghong said, standing up to leave.
"Yinghong, why the rush? Your friend is probably just an ordinary person, there's nothing special to entertain. But Minister Yan here is a minister from our largest partner company, so of course, we must entertain him well. It's very beneficial for our company's future development," Director Zhang said with a smile.
"Come, have another drink," Minister Yan said, extending his hand and placing it on Qian Yinghong's thigh.
*Slap!*
Qian Yinghong reacted fiercely, slapping Minister Yan directly. "Minister Yan, please respect yourself!"
"Damn it, you dare to hit me?" Minister Yan roared.
Director Zhang reprimanded, "Qian Yinghong, what's wrong with you? How dare you hit Minister Yan? Apologize to Minister Yan quickly!"
"Why should I apologize to him?" Qian Yinghong said coldly.
"Because I'm your boss!" Director Zhang said indignantly.
"I'm hired as a makeup artist for the company, not to entertain or sleep with people. If you want to find a woman to accompany Minister Yan, you can find someone else. I won't participate!" Qian Yinghong said and prepared to leave.
Director Zhang shouted, "Qian Yinghong, stop right there! I'm telling you, today I want you to accompany Minister Yan!"
"I resign!" Qian Yinghong said without thinking.
"Qian Yinghong, don't forget, you have a contract with the company. If you want to quit, you can, but you have to pay the liquidated damages. Your annual salary was five million, and ten times that is fifty million!" Director Zhang said nonchalantly.
Qian Yinghong's body trembled upon hearing this.
Minister Yan watched coldly. He didn't pay any attention to such a feisty woman. He had encountered women like this before, and they all eventually complied willingly.
Minister Yan chuckled, "Heh, young people can be a bit impulsive. I'll give you a chance to apologize now. Kneel before me and serve me well."
