The boss’s face remained gentle, but his eyes grew deeper. "Actually, I have more rest time now than before. At least after eight every night, they watch me rest and don't let me work."
"You are here to recover your health, not to work," Secretary Shao reminded him again.
The boss argued back, "You young people just don't understand. While I can still move, I should do more. The more I do, the more precious things I leave for future generations."
Zhu Yanyi listened quietly nearby. This legendary boss was indeed very responsible. The reason China developed so fast later was because she laid the foundation during her time.
Old Man Yao glared at the boss. "Do you think your body is fine? Don't forget you will be seventy next year."
Hearing Old Man Yao’s嫌弃 words, the boss smiled awkwardly. "I am only sixty-nine this year. Don't remind me about seventy; that is next year's business."
Old Man Yao was dissatisfied. "Haven't you heard the saying, 'To be old and not die is to be a thief'?"
"Go away, you are the thief! I am vigorous in my old age." Indeed, the person who was once high and mighty had now become an ordinary bickering old man.
"Yes, vigorous in old age," Old Man Yao emphasized the tone. "So vigorous that you come to the hospital to recover. If you have the ability, don't come to the hospital, don't appear before me, and I won't care about you."
Hearing their interaction, Zhu Yanyi could determine that Old Man Yao and the boss knew each other and were very familiar.
Gu Jingtian noticed Zhu Yanyi’s curiosity and whispered in her ear, "I heard they were born from the same teacher when they were children. But as they grew up, they chose different paths. Master chose medicine, and Your Excellency chose to study abroad."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly, indicating she understood. "So, they knew each other since they were naked babies."
Zhu Yanyi spoke softly, but the room wasn't large. Plus, the two old men were glaring and bickering, so no one else was speaking. The room was quiet, making Zhu Yanyi’s words seem particularly loud.
"Who knew her since they were naked babies?" Old Man Yao acted willfully, then glared at Zhu Yanyi. "Are you really my disciple? Why are you siding with her?"
Zhu Yanyi felt wronged. She just said a normal sentence and was accused of bias. "Grandpa Yao, you are a divine doctor. Your eyesight isn't good today. Where did you see me being biased? Besides, you are my master. Even if I want to be biased, I would be biased towards you."
This argument for bias was spoken so openly, and even in front of the boss. The boss was speechless. "You are bullying me for having no disciples. Old Man Yao, I want to break off relations with you."
"Fine, then I will leave," Old Man Yao chuckled, not afraid of the boss’s threat at all.
"You can leave, but your little disciple must stay with me," the boss said.
"No, she is my disciple," Old Man Yao glared angrily at the boss. This feeling of someone trying to steal her disciple everywhere was really frustrating.
The boss looked proud. "See if you dare to fight me again. If you fight me, I will steal your disciples in the future."
"You stinky old man, try saying that again," Old Man Yao’s face turned red with anger. He directly ignored the respectful title and called him a stinky old man.
Zhu Yanyi came over and patted Old Man Yao’s back. "Grandpa Yao, don't be angry. Rest assured, even if she wants to steal me, I must agree. If I don't agree, she can't steal me. Don't worry, your disciple is very capable."
