Chapter 1336: Chapter 1335: Why Are All Your Patients Beautiful Women?
He Yuqing felt intensely cold all over her body. She didn’t expect that upon waking up, she’d find so much snow accumulated on the balcony outside; she had forgotten to close the window last night while drying clothes.
Now she not only felt cold in her heart but also shivering all over. Thinking about going to work made her feel even colder, as she hadn’t received her salary for over two months.
She recalled the last time Dr. Ye had called her, saying that the Qingcheng Group was about to go bankrupt and advised her to quickly leave and work at the Xingyue Group across the street, which she found hard to believe.
However, over the past few days, in such weather, it was incredibly difficult to sell even a single piece of winter underwear.
He Yuqing realized that her rental apartment had no heating, and it was hard to withstand the cold. The air heating couldn’t compare to the kind of pipeline heating, and it still felt very cold.
Upon waking up, she already felt no drowsiness at all. In a place like Jinling, she didn’t have many good friends, and like that hometown friend who infected her with a disease, He Yuqing wouldn’t contact her again because she received a call from her parents saying she worked in such a place.
Isn’t this clearly a wrong accusation?
Clearly, that hometown friend worked in a hair salon, caught that disease, and instead tarnished her reputation. Now He Yuqing was a bit embarrassed to return to her hometown.
Now, whenever He Yuqing thought of Dr. Ye, she felt she should give him a call.
Ye Qiu was half-asleep when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and found it was a call from He Yuqing.
“Is it you?”
“Dr. Ye, sorry to bother you. I want to meet you!”
He Yuqing said from the other end.
“I’m not up yet. I’ll come find you after I finish breakfast.”
After Ye Qiu hung up the phone, Liu Lingxiu was still comfortably lying beside him.
Ye Qiu checked the time; it was just a bit past seven in the morning, almost eight. He got up and dressed, initially wearing clothes similar to what he wore in the summer, thinking it wouldn’t be laughed at.
Ye Qiu went to wash up and downstairs and saw that his parents and sister hadn’t gotten up yet. Maybe it was because it snowed heavily last night, and they found it too comfortable to sleep, that no one wanted to get up.
When he went outside to the yard, he found that the snow was really half a meter high.
Thankfully, Ye Weidong’s and Ye Xue’s cars were parked in parking spots with a carport to shield them; otherwise, the two cars would have been covered by the white snow.
As for the lawn, flowers, and trees in the yard, they were all covered by the heavy snow.
After walking around and returning to the villa, he saw Chen Fang and Ye Xue come downstairs dressed in many layers, naturally very afraid of the cold.
“Mom, sis, let’s go to the tea house for breakfast later.”
“Alright.”
He then went upstairs to wake up Ye Weidong and Liu Lingxiu separately, and then called He Yuqing to ask where she was staying, intending to drive over to pick her up for breakfast later.
“Mom, I’m going to pick up a friend for tea.”
“Qianqian?”
“Of course not.”
However, Chen Fang had already guessed it was probably a young woman.
With Liu Lingxiu in the car, they drove towards where He Yuqing was renting an apartment.
As they approached the mouth of the alley, they saw He Yuqing wearing a thick coat and jeans underneath. When she saw Ye Qiu waving at her, she hurried over.
She remembered that last time, Ye Qiu didn’t seem to be driving this car.
Just as she thought of sitting in the front passenger seat, she noticed there was already a beautiful woman sitting there, making He Yuqing feel a bit embarrassed. When she got into the backseat, Ye Qiu said, “This is a patient I previously treated, He Yuqing. This is my girlfriend, Liu Lingxiu.”
After Ye Qiu introduced them to each other, both women immediately knew the other’s identity.
Ye Qiu then drove to the tea house, where Weidong’s couple and Ye Xue were already waiting upstairs.
When they saw Ye Qiu bringing up another beautiful woman, Weidong’s parents were a bit puzzled.
“Dad, mom, sis, this is my friend, He Yuqing.”
“Hello, uncle, aunt, and sis,”
He Yuqing greeted.
As they sat down, the female server at the tea house brought over the menu. When Ye Qiu let them order, he turned his gaze to He Yuqing, who sat beside him, and asked, “Have you found a new job?”
“No, I’m still working at the lingerie store in Qingcheng Group.”
“How is the store doing?”
“It feels like it’s about to close. Not only have we not received commission for two months, but we also haven’t been paid our base salary for two months. Most of the sales clerks have resigned, leaving only me and two senior employees. Even the store manager seems to have resigned.”
These were all specialty shops, and if even they were in such a state, it seemed that the Qingcheng Group was truly on the verge of collapse.
“What do you plan to do now?”
“I want to hear your arrangement,”
He Yuqing said.
She knew Ye Qiu was capable, so in this situation, she could only follow his arrangement.
“Then go to Xingyue Group’s specialty stores to work first!”
Judging by the current situation of the Xingyue Group, business there is definitely getting better and better, so working there and gaining experience is certainly much better than the failing Qingcheng Group.
Neither Weidong’s couple, Ye Xue, nor Liu Lingxiu understood what the two were discussing, but since it was an issue between Ye Qiu and He Yuqing, the four naturally wouldn’t interfere.
When the female server brought over the ordered snacks, they began enjoying tea and snacks.
Around ten in the morning, after finishing the tea, Ye Qiu called the server to settle the bill, then drove He Yuqing back to the nearby alley of her rental apartment.
“It’s so cold now; dress warmly.”
“I know,”
He Yuqing said.
She couldn’t quite understand why, upon hearing that Ye Qiu already had a girlfriend, she felt somewhat uncomfortable, but He Yuqing also knew that it’s normal for Ye Qiu to have a girlfriend.
It’d be abnormal if he had a girlfriend and didn’t dare to tell her.
“Go find a job at the Xingyue Group’s specialty stores first. If you can’t find one, call me.”
He Yuqing said goodbye to Liu Lingxiu and got out of the car. Ye Qiu then backed the car and left, heading towards the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
“Ye Qiu, how did you meet that He Yuqing earlier?”
“Treated her illness.”
Liu Lingxiu quickly sensed that it seemed Ye Qiu only treated beautiful women.
“It seems like all the people you treat are beautiful women!”
“Actually, not only. Generally, those who can afford my treatment are either rich or noble. Ordinary people really can’t see me, unless I voluntarily choose to treat them.”
Liu Lingxiu smiled without saying anything further.
After driving back to Peach Blossom Source Villa, Ye Qiu went upstairs to his room, turned on the heater, and continued reviewing with her.
Meanwhile, in a single-story house in the Jinling Military Region compound, since the night Wu Zhimin and others discovered Han Xiaofeng showed some symptoms of a cold hunchback, upon returning home, his mother noticed it first, then his father did. Yesterday, Han Xiaofeng dared not leave the house.
After all, why would a good person suddenly have a bit of a hunchback?
For someone from the Military District Compound who can’t even stand up straight, it’s certainly an insult.
