Chapter 2301
Gu Jingtian knew Zhu Yanyi was indeed too busy to handle everything alone. "I’m just reminding you. Keep it in mind," she said, pausing briefly. "Also, news of your return has spread. Many international patients are seeking you out again."
Zhu Yanyi pondered for a moment. "I want Senior Brother Qingyun to check them first. If she can handle it, let her. If there are issues, they can ask me later. The medical profession needs more capable people. Don’t just rely on me."
Gu Jingtian nodded. "By the way, there’s an international medical competition next year. They invited you to be a judge. Will you go?"
"You and Senior Brother Qingyun go. I don’t have time for that," Zhu Yanyi replied. To her, such competitions were just for building resumes. She’d rather spend that time caring for patients. "Besides, I don’t even know which city I’ll be in next year."
"Alright, I knew you’d say that. I’m prepared to decline on your behalf," Gu Jingtian said, feeling like a neighborhood committee auntie who meddled in everything.
"Enough, Senior Brother. You decide. I’m leaving now." As she reached the door, she turned back. "You’ve seen the prescription. It’s best to report it officially. Don’t let anyone steal it."
"Rest assured, I know," Gu Jingtian said. He wasn’t new to this and understood its importance.
Zhu Yanyi left without further words.
On the third day, Peng Meier was discharged. She would need time to recover, following Zhu Yanyi’s prescription.
Zhu Yanyi handed the prescription to Peng Meier’s father. "Take this for six months. Call me then. I’ll tell you where I am. Bring Meier for a follow-up, and I’ll adjust the prescription."
Peng Meier’s father carefully took the paper. "Thank you, Divine Doctor." His spirits had improved daily, and he looked younger, mainly because his daughter was getting better. He saw real hope.
Peng Meier looked at Zhu Yanyi with gratitude. Though not fully recovered, she no longer needed hospitalization, though she still used a wheelchair to avoid fatigue. "Thank you, Divine Doctor."
Zhu Yanyi patted Peng Meier’s head. "Don’t thank me. Thank your parents for giving you life."
"I thank them too, but I thank you for giving me a second life," Peng Meier said sincerely. The girl knew how to speak well.
She hadn’t expected to survive, believing her illness was fatal. Now, she had new motivation.
"I accept your thanks. It’s getting late. Go home quickly," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
After thanking Zhu Yanyi again, Peng Meier’s father and daughter left.
Having sent off her last patient, Zhu Yanyi began packing. Most items were already packed by Yan Aohan, so there wasn’t much to do.
The main task was buying Beijing specialties and shipping them via Azure Sovereign Qingdi Logistics.
Watching the large and small packages, Xie Xinlian sighed, "Ten years ago, I never imagined I could spend money like this."
Zhu Yanyi laughed, linking arms with Xie Xinlian. "It’s just shipping. Where’s the cost? I want to buy many things. Mom, let’s go shopping. Invite my sister. We three women can go together. Let Dad and the other men handle Little Northwest. How does that sound?"
Xie Xinlian tapped Zhu Yanyi’s forehead. "What nonsense. Can you bear to leave them?"
"I’m human. But it seems Mom can’t bear to let Dad and the others tire. In that case, the whole family goes out. We shop in the afternoon and dine at the Beijing Club tonight. How about it?" Zhu Yanyi suggested. "I rarely have time to shop."
Xie Xinlian thought about it and agreed. Zhu Yanyi called Zhu Shunyao and the others to go shopping, mainly for gifts.
The three children were held by Zhu Shunyao, Taishu Yuanxiang, and Yan Aohan, while the three women shopped.
"Mom, look. This down jacket is nice. The red bean series is good," Zhu Yanyi pointed to several elderly down jackets. "Let’s buy one set each for Grandpa, Grandma, Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, and Uncle-Grandpa."
Since the elders were kind to her, Zhu Yanyi, as a junior, wanted them to be well.
Xie Xinlian looked at the jackets and nodded slightly. "They are indeed nice. Let’s buy them."
Zhu Yanli also looked and said, "Really nice."
"Besides Grandpa and Grandma, I plan to buy one set each for Grandpa Zhan and the others," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.
The Zhan elders were returning to Sicheng Town with them. They treated Zhu Yanyi as a true junior, and she treated them as true elders. Naturally, they all received clothes.
"Fine, let’s buy them," Xie Xinlian agreed without objection.
They bought many down jackets, totaling over ten sets for both men and women.
They also bought cotton shoes. After purchasing these, Luo Gang and others sent them home first, while the rest continued shopping.
"I heard a new gold shop opened recently. It’s a branch of an old gold shop. Let’s go see," Xie Xinlian said, seeing the sign ahead.
"Okay," Zhu Yanyi agreed without objection.
Zhu Yanyi wasn’t very interested in gold, as she and Yan Aohan carried plenty, with more piled in the Ruyi Space. However, her mother liked gold jewelry, so they went to look.
Mostly, visiting a gold shop was about checking styles. If she liked something, Yan Aohan could refine it for her later.
The gold shop had many styles. Nowadays, flower rings and square rings were popular. Flower rings were generally for women, and square rings for men.
Xie Xinlian liked a flower ring with a peony design.
"Let me see this ring," Xie Xinlian said, pointing to a flower ring in the glass counter.
