Chapter 269: Chapter 259: Wu Xirui Wants to Cooperate with Wonderful Hall

A week later, as Qiao Jing had just come out of the institute, she received a message from Zhou Fu.

“Master, an elderly family member of mine passed away, so I need to return to my hometown. I’ve messaged you to request leave, but I’ve also taken on a few patients and won’t have time to sit in at the clinic. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to cover my clinic duty these next few days.”

Qiao Jing replied swiftly, “Okay.”

It just so happened that she had also finished her work at the institute during this period and had the time to sit in at Wonderful Hall.

The next day, Qiao Jing arrived at Wonderful Hall at her usual work time.

As soon as she stepped into Wonderful Hall, she saw Lou Xinrou sitting on a stool inside.

...

What was Lou Xinrou doing here?

It wasn’t until Qiao Jing noticed the intern badge hanging on Lou Xinrou’s chest that she belatedly remembered this matter.

Zhou Fu had mentioned to her before that Lou Xinrou was so persistent that it gave him a headache. No matter how he tried to send her away, she insisted on staying at Wonderful Hall.

She even sat in the shop for several hours every day. At first, when Lou Xinrou remained silent, it was better, but later, probably because she saw that Zhou Fu ignored her, she became incessantly chatty.

Then, she casually suggested that if it really didn’t work out, they could let Lou Xinrou stay to intern.

However, there really wasn’t anything significant in Wonderful Hall that could be assigned to Lou Xinrou to do; at most, she could assist with minor tasks and handle some herbs.

Qiao Jing still remembered Zhou Fu’s reluctance in his tone. It was only after considering the fact that it was her suggestion that he pondered for a moment and reluctantly accepted it.

Upon seeing Qiao Jing arrive, Lou Xinrou looked down at the weighty badge on her chest as if it gave her boundless confidence.

She straightened the badge on her chest and boasted to Qiao Jing.

“Look, I have now become an intern at Wonderful Hall. He’s just a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he verbally refused to take me as an apprentice, he still let me intern at Wonderful Hall.”

Lou Xinrou also picked up her intern badge and waved it in front of Qiao Jing before continuing.

“I told you before, didn’t I? Master Zhou will definitely take me as his apprentice. He must think I’m talented, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken me on as an intern. Once my internship is over, I’ll be able to become his apprentice!”

After listening, Qiao Jing slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled.

“Is that so?”

Lou Xinrou detected the disdain in Qiao Jing’s voice and felt extremely annoyed!

What did Qiao Jing mean by that? Did she think what she said was wrong?

But Master Zhou must have seen her talent, which was why he took her on as an intern. And now that she was an intern, how far could becoming an apprentice be?

Yet, whenever she thought about Master Zhou calling Qiao Jing “Master,” she felt inferior.

But it was just a “Master,” perhaps for some other area; it couldn’t possibly be Divine Doctor Jing.

“I think you’re just envious of me!”

Qiao Jing ignored her and took a seat to flip through medical books.

Meanwhile, the deputy manager of Wonderful Hall was in the VIP room entertaining a special guest.

The deputy manager had the person following him pour a cup of hot tea for Wu Xirui,

Meanwhile, the deputy manager of Wonderful Hall was in the VIP room entertaining a special guest.

The deputy manager had the person following him pour a cup of hot tea for Wu Xirui, placing it in front of him and apologizing for the last cooperation issue.

“I must apologize to Fifth Master about that collaboration. I seemed insincere on the phone last time, so I specifically invited you to Wonderful Hall today to have tea.”

“I’m sorry, Fifth Master. Although I agreed to the collaboration, the big boss firmly decided to go with the Zhan Family, and I was powerless,” said the deputy manager with a look of helplessness.

Upon hearing the term “big boss,” Wu Xirui’s eyes slightly narrowed, concealing danger and curiosity. He thoughtfully touched his chin.

“There’s something I’m not sure whether I should ask about or not.”

The second boss felt somewhat nervous as he faced Wu Xirui’s sharp gaze, and he hurriedly answered.

“Ah, Fifth Master, please speak, whatever I can answer, I will definitely tell you.”

Wu Xirui was quite satisfied with the second boss’s attitude and revealed a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

“Is the big boss of Wonderful Hall Divine Doctor Jing?”

Upon hearing this question, the second boss paused slightly before immediately adopting a slick and smooth attitude.

“Ah, Fifth Master, that’s something I really can’t reveal.”

Wu Xirui noticed the second boss’s momentary hesitation and felt a vague guess forming in his mind.

Seeing that Wu Xirui did not respond, the second boss quickly shifted the topic, fearing that he might ask about the identity of the big boss again.

“How about this, Fifth Master, let me treat you to another meal, to show more sincerity.”

Wu Xirui also readily agreed and brought up the real intent of his visit.

“We should definitely have a meal, but that’s a separate matter. My main purpose for coming here is to discuss another business deal.”

The second boss immediately perked up and asked, “What business?”

“I plan to open a branch of Wonderful Hall overseas. I’m sure the second boss is aware of my Overseas Group. I hope to use this opportunity for a better cooperation with Wonderful Hall.”

Wu Xirui took a sip of tea, waiting for the second boss’s response.

Upon hearing this, the second boss thought carefully; this was a great opportunity.

With Wu Xirui’s channels, it would not only expand Wonderful Hall’s influence and increase its fame, but it might also pave the way for international expansion!

However, because of the unexpected result of the last deal, the second boss didn’t commit in his own name, only expressing his point of view.

“I think it’s a great idea and has high feasibility,” he said.

Wu Xirui raised an eyebrow.

“Does that mean the second boss agrees?”

The second boss quickly waved his hands and explained to the other party.

“It’s useless if I agree, we all follow the big boss’s orders—it’s whatever the big boss says that counts.”

If he agreed on his own accord this time and the big boss didn’t wish to cooperate, it would mean offending the Fifth Master yet again.

He certainly didn’t want to offend Wu Xirui again; it could even drag Wonderful Hall into trouble.

Wu Xirui also frowned, feigning distress, and after a while, he finally spoke.

“You’re right, but could I possibly meet with the big boss in person and talk directly with her? That way, there wouldn’t be any unexpected issues, right?”

His real goal was to meet this so-called big boss and see for himself who she was; the last collaboration had unexpectedly involved Zhan Qipei.

The second boss looked troubled; he knew Qiao Jing disliked being in the spotlight and thought of a solution.

“Fifth Master, it’s not easy for me to say. How about I make a call to the big boss?”

Wu Xirui nodded, and the second boss hurriedly stood up to make the call outside.

“Big boss, there’s an Overseas Group that wants to cooperate with our Wonderful Hall to expand channels overseas…” The second boss relayed Wu Xirui’s proposed plan with emphasis on the benefits, refining the proposal he had been told.

Qiao Jing thought briefly, quickly grasping the interests involved, and responded, “Hmm, I think it’s possible, but it depends on how much dividend they want.”

If they could open an overseas branch of Wonderful Hall, it was undoubtedly more beneficial for them.

However, if the other party wanted a high dividend, the proposal might be rejected.

“We can’t settle it directly; let’s find time for a meeting in the next few days to discuss it further.”
