Chapter 51 He Wouldn’t Leave Her Life

After taking a sip and turning his attention back to the executives, Lu Jinye rose to his feet while massaging his temples gently.

He eyed at the executives languidly and uttered, “Give me a data analysis on the medical industry, we will be investing in the medical industry in the coming days.”

Upon leaving a simple remark, Lu Jinye started heading out the door.

All of the executives remained in the room, exchanging glances and then heaved sighs of relief collectively.

What the hell just happened?

Mr. Lu was way too horrifying earlier. Just as they were readying themselves to be rebuked by Mr. Lu for the rest of the day, Mr. Lu surprisingly gave them a plan instead.

Following which, all of them scrambled to their feet, faces pale as they returned to their respective offices.

They promptly gathered their subordinates to relay the summary of the meeting.

Meanwhile, Linda immediately followed behind Lu Jinye as he left the room. Lu Jinye asked nonchalantly, “Is Secretary Mu back?”

“No.”

Linda swiftly responded.

“Then who brewed the white tea?”

“I did it, under Secretary Mu’s recommendation, chairman…”

Linda responded again. However, Lu Jinye just glanced at Linda briefly. He said nothing and headed straight to his office.

…

Mu Zhi’s hospital was not like the public hospitals, where patients would crowd their clinics. It was a rather prestigious hospital where patients were generally wealthier.

Every patient who was born in the hospital would receive a personal portfolio of their own. Throughout their upbringing, a specific doctor would be assigned to monitor their health.

Thus, most of the doctors were familiar with their patients.

During her first day of work, Mu Zhi was not accustomed to the system, but she quickly familiarized herself with the procedure on her second day. However, upon understanding that, Mu Zhi was starting to feel embarrassed.

The other doctors would get visiting patients, while Mu Zhi’s clinic was completely vacant. She was idle, yet stressed.

She thought she had lucked out by getting hired into the hospital, but in the end, having no patient to look at felt awkward to her.

The hospital appraised their doctors by their performance, while performance was directly correlated to the number of patients they had.

Mu Zhi browsed her contact list on her phone but ultimately relented. It was rather uncomfortable to approach her connections and bring them to the clinic.

Had she been working at a florist, she could’ve asked them to pay a visit and hang out.

Alas, she was a doctor. She could not bring herself to call her friends and invite them to… Visit the hospital.

Just as Mu Zhi was helplessly ready to give up on herself, preparing to leave her life to fate, a man walked into the clinic, ushered by the receptionist. Judging from his appearance, he must be a relatively wealthy man.

As soon as he stepped into the clinic, the man greeted Mu Zhi courteously. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hello Dr. Mu, I’ve long heard of your name.”

“Hello.”

Mu Zhi quickly responded, but she felt something was odd.

After all the years she was away from the medical world, why would anyone know her name at all, let alone long hearing her name?

“Please take a seat, how can I help you today?”

Mu Zhi invited the man for a seat and conducted a basic doctor’s interview on the patient. In the end, the man coughed lightly and said, “I have insomnia.”

Mu Zhi then did an investigation and said, “Due to anxiety.”

“Yes.”

Amid their conversation, Mu Zhi started writing a prescription. She prescribed some generic drugs that had calming and relaxing effects. It was not a big deal, but the man heaved a sorrowful sigh, “Dr. Mu, what can I do to make your hospital believe that I came here due to admiration?”

Mu Zhi was instantly put in a daze by his question.

“Why would you want the hospital to believe that you admired us?”

With a stern face, the man answered, “I hope Dr. Mu can have a winning reputation at the hospital.”

“Oh, that’s fine, appreciate your gesture.”

Mu Zhi smiled, “It is a doctor’s sworn duty to help patients.”

Following which, she handed the prescription to the man, but he was seemingly reluctant to leave. He continued, “Dr. Mu, I trust you can cure the root cause of my insomnia.”

Once again, Mu Zhi was put in a daze.

What was going on with the man?

But she managed to keep her poise, “I’m all ears.”

Upon hearing her answer, a relaxed smile broke out on the man’s face. He reached out to grab a name card from his bag and offered it to Mu Zhi politely, “Please to meet you, Dr. Mu, my name is Lin Yi, I am the founder of Yisheng Technology. Instead of calling us a company, you could call us a team.”

For the third time in minutes, Mu Zhi was put in a daze.

The man added, “Our team is made up of five individuals. We specialize in researching natural approaches to anti-aging wrinkles. These are some samples we have developed. Besides, this is anti- aging water for drinking purposes, except it helps with skin whitening.”

Mu Zhi was flabbergasted by his words. None of these was her specialty.

Moreover, she had no idea what the man wanted from her.

However, the man took on a solemn expression when he was introducing his products. Besides, the man appeared to be an honest, hardworking person. Thus, Mu Zhi could not bear interrupting him.

After a long moment of listening to his pitch, Mu Zhi went straight to the point.

“I kind of get the point now, are you asking me to buy your product?”

Mu Zhi was astonished…

The man quickly shook his head, “No, Miss Mu, you’ve misunderstood, I… I heard that the investment arm of Shanze is looking to invest in medical researches. My team and I have spent years of blood, sweat, and years in this research, but… Promotion and marketing aren’t our strong suits, which is why our products remain unknown to most. We have been bleeding money all this while and we are nearing bankruptcy.”

At this point, Lin Yi’s eyes were faintly bloodshot.

“I can support your work at this hospital, Dr. Mu Zhi, but do you think you can arrange a meeting between me and Mr. Lu?”

His intention finally dawned on Mu Zhi.

She thought about refusing him. She was trying to avoid interactions with Lu Jinye after the divorce.

However, the man’s sincerity had moved her.

So, she asked, “Are you sure that Shanze is looking to invest in the medical world?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Fine.”

Mu Zhi nodded. Although she was not certain if Shanze was interested, she… Could ask.

Mu Zhi kept the man’s contact and saw him out so he would not interfere her work at the hospital. Returning to her seat, she was planning on ringing Lu Jinye when another patient came.

This time, the patient went straight to the point, hoping to get Mu Zhi’s help.

Mu Zhi politely refused.

But another one showed up.

The purpose of their visits was practically to sell different products and proposals in their hands.

Mu Zhi then politely refused again.

…

Throughout the entire afternoon, Mu Zhi was busy dealing with sale pitches. She was on the verge of being driven mad.
