CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 125: SINCERE INVITATION

Chief Qian was wearing the government office’s black uniform with red edges. He was looking around and, upon turning his head, saw her. He walked over with a cheerful smile, and his large fan-like hand moved to slap Yun Jiao’s shoulder.

Halfway through, Chief Qian seemed to realize that Yun Jiao was a woman and that the action was inappropriate, so his large hand instead landed on Manager Wang’s shoulder, causing him to noticeably shrink by half an inch.

"Divine Doctor, truly a Divine Doctor! The medicine worked wonders!" Chief Qian said with a hearty laugh, "I came here today especially to deliver the consultation fee and to thank Divine Doctor Gu."

You should know, the sore on the back of his neck had been troubling him, preventing him from sleeping well for several days.

The most painful part was being unable to turn his neck. Just a few days ago, when the county magistrate assigned him tasks, he even remarked how rigid and defiant he looked with his stiff neck.

He truly had no way to express his troubles.

Yun Jiao smiled, "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Chief Qian’s voice was hoarse, "I’m telling you, a divine doctor is a divine doctor indeed!"

"You’re far better than that quack, Doctor Liu."

Manager Wang stood beside them, awkwardly smiling.

Across the hall, Jiang Rong and Jiang Hua were standing at the doorway, occasionally exchanging glances.

After speaking, Chief Qian took out a tael of silver and handed it to Yun Jiao, "This is for the consultation fee."

Originally, Manager Wang had agreed to deliver the fee to Yun Jiao, but Chief Qian insisted on coming personally for this visit.

He felt that only by coming in person could he truly show his respect to the divine doctor.

Yun Jiao invited them inside the house and took another look at Chief Qian’s neck. The sore had completely healed, with not even a trace left on the skin.

Chief Qian stayed for a short while before leaving, saying he had official duties to attend to.

As Yun Jiao escorted Chief Qian out the door, across the way Jiang Rong and Jiang Hua seemed eager, as if they wanted to greet Chief Qian, but as he glanced over, they meekly held back.

With his thick eyebrows and a face like a fierce beast, Chief Qian looked intimidating.

Chief Qian rode away on horseback, but Manager Wang hadn’t left yet.

He drank two cups of tea before speaking, "Girl, Uncle asks you, are you only skilled in treating sores or are you well-rounded in other medical fields too?"

Yun Jiao thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I’m quite skilled in general medicine, ophthalmology, gynecology, dermatology, and orthopedics too."

Hearing this, Manager Wang understood she could handle most illnesses.

He rubbed his hands a few times, "Well, Uncle Wang has a request. Could you possibly come to my pharmacy to see patients?"

He smiled and said, "As long as you’re willing to come, apart from a fixed monthly salary, I’ll give you a five percent commission for every prescription you write."

"You should know, even Doctor Liu only gets a three percent commission."

Yun Jiao smiled at Manager Wang, "Thank you for having such high regard for me, but as I mentioned before, I plan to open a pharmacy in the Prefecture City after the New Year. It’ll also make it easier to find my father."

Manager Wang lamented, "Girl, you should know, it’s not easy for a doctor to build a reputation. You’ve just started to make a name for yourself here, going elsewhere means starting all over again. It’s tough!"

"But if it’s to find your father, then there’s no other way."

"Alright then, Uncle Wang will leave it at that. If you ever decide you want to join me, you’re welcome at any time."

After seeing off Manager Wang, Yun Jiao turned around and saw Jiang Hua smiling at her, "Da Lang’s wife, who was that person in the government uniform just now?"

Yun Jiao paused her steps and laughed, "Oh, you mean Chief Qian?"

Jiang Hua’s eyes lit up, an arresting officer!

If only he could get to know someone like that, he could practically walk sideways throughout the county.
