"Yumeng, I know a nice French restaurant. Would you like to go and have something to eat?"
The gloom on Luo Jiashan's face vanished without a trace, and he said with a beaming smile. If it were someone who didn't know him, they would surely be deceived by the bright smile on his face like the sunshine.
Wang Yumeng silently shook her head and said lightly, "It's getting late. I still have something to deal with tomorrow, so I need to go home and rest now!"
"But you should still have dinner. You haven't had dinner yet today because you came to watch the competition. It would be good to have something casually!"
Luo Jiashan said hastily. He had prepared a romantic candlelit dinner tonight. If Wang Yumeng didn't go, all his efforts and preparations would be in vain!
Wang Yumeng glanced at Luo Jiashan and said, "Sorry. I'm not hungry!"
After saying that, Wang Yumeng lifted her leg and walked towards her car in the distance, not giving Luo Jiashan any time to speak.
It was not until Wang Yumeng got into the car and the car disappeared around the corner of the Cultural Square that Luo Jiashan retracted his gaze. The gloom on his face was even thicker than before. He stared sinisterly at the place where Wang Yumeng had disappeared and secretly swore in his heart, muttering in a low and gloomy voice, "You bitch, what are you being so arrogant for? If it weren't for your good looks and the fact that I can get all your family's property by marrying you, would I waste my time on you? Just you wait. Sooner or later, you'll snuggle up in my arms obediently!"
After leaving the Cultural Square, the gloomy look on Lu Feng's face gradually disappeared. The more than 32,000 yuan bulging in his pocket made a satisfied smile appear on his face. He had been at a loss before, worried about the 10,000 yuan tuition fee. Now that the tuition fee was collected, he also had enough living expenses for several months. This was really a timely help!
When he returned to his residence, Lu Feng found the landlady wandering outside the door. He sneered secretly in his heart. She wanted him to leave, but her intention was as clear as day. However, he had already paid the rent to her, and there was also a contract. He thought she wouldn't dare to break the contract.
Completely ignoring the landlady, Lu Feng quickly opened the door of his room, flashed into the room in an instant, and closed the door with a bang.
Outside, the landlady originally wanted to say some soft words to make Lu Feng move out. But when she saw that Lu Feng treated her like thin air and didn't even look at her properly, a rush of anger immediately welled up in her heart. She stomped her foot hard, cursed loudly in a roundabout way, and then left resentfully.
Lu Feng despised the landlady from the bottom of his heart and didn't care at all about her cursing. What's more, he was in a good mood now. He took a comfortable bath, casually made some food, and then lay on the bed with a medical book in his hand, smiling.
Early the next morning, Lu Feng arrived at the medical clinic early.
As usual, Doctor Shang Wende was sitting on a rocking chair, wearing glasses and reading a medical book. There was also a cup of fragrant tea on the small table beside him, slowly emitting wisps of steam.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shang Wende lifted his eyelids and said lightly, "Clean the room. If you have nothing else to do, read the medical books carefully. It will be very helpful for your future!"
A look of respect appeared on Lu Feng's face. After agreeing with a smile, he took out the 20,000 yuan he had prepared and handed it to Shang Wende, saying softly, "Doctor Shang, this is my tuition fee, 10,000 yuan."
A trace of surprise appeared in Shang Wende's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Huan strode over from a distance.
Seeing Lu Feng holding a thick stack of money, he frowned and his heart tightened at the same time. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Lu Feng, why are you holding so much money early in the morning? Have you collected the tuition fee?"
He really didn't want to see Lu Feng collect the tuition fee. If Lu Feng couldn't collect it, he would naturally be driven away. But it had only been a few days. How did this poor guy get the 10,000 yuan?
"Yes, Senior Brother. This is the tuition fee I've collected, exactly 10,000 yuan. I want to stay here and learn traditional Chinese medicine from Doctor Shang." Lu Feng said respectfully and sincerely in front of Shang Wende.
Did he really collect it?
Liu Huan's face suddenly turned a bit ugly. The worst scenario he had imagined in his heart had come true.
Shang Wende glanced at Liu Huan, turned to look at Lu Feng, and asked, "You didn't have any money before, did you? It's only been a few days. How did you suddenly get so much money?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately said, "Doctor Shang, don't worry. I borrowed this money, and it's from a legitimate source."
Lu Feng certainly wouldn't tell Doctor Shang about his gambling. Otherwise, it might have the opposite effect.
Shang Wende looked at Lu Feng, nodded, took the money and put it aside casually, and said lightly, "Since you've paid the tuition fee in full, you can follow me and learn traditional Chinese medicine from now on. Go and do your things!"
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard."
Lu Feng was overjoyed and immediately changed his address.
He had finally become an apprentice, and he didn't have to worry about money all day long. He had finally taken a solid step in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Shang Wende didn't show any reaction to Lu Feng's change of address. He just waved his hand.
Liu Huan beside him had been blinking his eyes restlessly.
He was now bent on driving Lu Feng away, but at this crucial moment, Lu Feng was actually able to come up with 10,000 yuan for the tuition fee. This was simply a failure of all his efforts!
Also, looking at Shang Wende's performance, he seemed to be full of dissatisfaction with Lu Feng on the surface, but he didn't drive him away. There must be something fishy going on. Maybe Shang Wende was actually very satisfied with him in his heart!
Time couldn't be wasted. This matter should be done as soon as possible!
But how could he make Shang Wende want to drive Lu Feng away?
Almost all the means he could use recently had been used. Although Lu Feng had made a lot of mistakes, it wasn't enough to make him leave!
What should he do? Was he just going to let Lu Feng stay here and work?
No, he absolutely couldn't let someone who threatened his position stay. He had to take action as soon as possible!
Liu Huan pondered silently in his heart. One despicable and shameless plan after another formed in his mind, but after careful consideration, he quickly rejected them.
It was not until lunchtime that a brilliant idea finally formed in his mind.
In the inner room of the medical clinic, Shang Wende had a safe. Inside the safe were a secret medical book and Shang Wende's medical experience that he had devoted decades of his efforts to. If he stole the secret book from the safe and secretly gave it to Lu Feng, when Shang Wende found out, he would surely be furious, and then the goal of framing Lu Feng would be achieved.
Thinking of this, Liu Huan was filled with joy. Looking at Lu Feng's busy figure, he also felt a trace of schadenfreude.
In fact, he had been eyeing that secret book for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to steal it. It was not until recently, when Shang Wende opened the safe, that he secretly memorized the password of the safe from the side. It seemed that this password would be very useful this time. Maybe when Shang Wende was disappointed in Lu Feng, he would give this secret book to him and teach him all his traditional Chinese medicine knowledge with all his might!
Liu Huan sneered sinisterly. Lu Feng, I don't believe you can get away with it this time! I must drive you away this time!
Time passed uneventfully. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a day passed. On this day, Shang Wende had called for Lu Feng several times. Even at lunchtime, he had ordered an extra dish for them.
These slight changes in Shang Wende made Liu Huan even more anxious. He needed to wait for an opportunity, wait for when Shang Wende would leave the medical clinic, and then he could start his action.
With his mind full of calculations and the malicious plan fully brewed in his heart, Liu Huan, who was waiting for the opportunity, felt that every day was like a year.
Until they got off work in the evening, Liu Huan still didn't see Shang Wende leave the medical clinic. It seemed that today wasn't an auspicious day. The business of the medical clinic was extremely poor. There were only two family members of patients who came to get medicine throughout the day.
Heaven rewards the diligent. The next morning, Liu Huan, who had been waiting for the opportunity, finally learned after lunch that Shang Wende would make a house call in the afternoon.
There was joy, excitement, and a trace of uneasiness.
At this moment, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.
"Liu Huan, take good care of the medical clinic. If there are patients who come to seek medical treatment, you can examine them. If you can't handle it, call me. Don't let Lu Feng interfere with diagnosing patients and dispensing medicine again."
Liu Huan sneered in his heart. He knew clearly that although Shang Wende seemed not to trust Lu Feng's ability, in fact, he was protecting him and didn't want him to make any mistakes.
"Master, don't worry. I will definitely do what you've told me."
Liu Huan said with a humble and respectful smile on his face as usual.
Shang Wende nodded silently, carried the medicine box, and walked out of the medical clinic.
The afternoon passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already 3:30 pm.
Liu Huan squinted his eyes and his gaze kept sweeping over Lu Feng, who was reading a medical book in front of the table:
"Lu Feng, can you do me a favor?"
Lu Feng put down the medical book in his hand and asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Liu Huan smiled and said, "It's like this. When I came to the medical clinic this morning, my second uncle asked me to buy a pack of cigarettes for him to take back. But I need to stay here and watch the medical clinic. So can you help me buy it?"
