191 Pie Falling from the Sky and a Free Meal

After a few stops, Zhang Xiuying got off the bus and arrived at Keda Group. The place was not the head office of Keda Group; it was just one of the branches. Zhang Xiuying called Ms. Zhao, who came to meet her immediately.

"Hello, finally you are here! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Have you thought about my offer?" said Ms. Zhao with a smile.

"You really work here!" said Zhang Xiuying in surprise.

"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you. Do you want to take a look inside?" asked Ms. Zhou.

"Okay," said Zhang Xiuying. "I've got nothing to lose anyway."

She followed Zhao Yulan into the building. The company looked formal. There were many employees busy working in the building. Those employees all seemed to know Zhao Yulan, whom Zhang Xiuying thought should be a fraud.

"Now you should have peace of mind," said Zhao Yulan with a smile.

"Yes," said Zhang Xiuying with an embarrassed smile.

"When are you available to do all the paperwork?" asked Zhao Yulan.

"Can I ask why you offered me this job?" said Zhang Xiuying.

"I actually don't know. I just followed the instruction of my manager. He called me to offer this job to you" said Zhao Yulan.

"Your manager called you?" said Zhang Xiuying in surprise.

"Yes," said Zhao Yulan honestly. To be honest, she was surprised to get the phone call from her manager. It was weird that her manager ask her to offer a job position to a stranger with a limited educational background. In addition, the person didn't even know she was offered a job and thought she was a fake. If Zhang Xiuying hadn't come in person, Zhao Yulan probably would take longer to convince her that she was not faking. Obviously, the whole thing was not simple, as her manager who rarely showed up had repeatedly asked her to offer a job to Zhang Xiuying. Zhao Yulan knew Zhang Xiuying must've had some connections to people working in the management.

"Don't worry about what job position you are going to offer her, as long as she gets paid. Even if she doesn't do anything in the company, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble." This is what Zhao Yulan's manager said.

It meant that even if Zhang Xiuying didn't know anything about her job and got paid for nothing, it would be fine with the management. The manager had given Zhao Yulan very clear instructions. Zhang Xiuying should have a strong backstage supporter.

"What do you want me to do here?" asked Zhang Xiuying.

She neither knew how to use a computer nor how to speak English. She didn't have any useful skills to work in an office. Although she could knit, she probably wouldn't need to knit in such a company.

"As an office worker, you can sort out paperwork. You don't necessarily need to use a computer. We still have quite a lot of documents on paper," said Zhao Yulan.

"Let me think about it," said Zhang Xiuying.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to call me," said Zhao Yulan.

Zhang Xiuying left the company with confusion. She had no idea what was going on.

"Ms. Zhao, what is she hesitating for? Getting paid over five thousand yuan per month for doing nothing. I would have signed the contract straight away," said one of the employees.

"Shut your mouth! If I was her, I would think it over as well. No free pies happen to just fall from the sky right into your lap. Where can one come across such a good thing?" said Zhao Yulan.

"But it has happened!" said the employee.

"The thing is that lady had no idea what was going on herself!" said Zhao Yulan.

After leaving Keda Group, Zhang Xiuying turned around and had another look at the building. She decided to discuss this with her husband today. It was a good thing, but she didn't know why it would happen to her.

Wang Yao had finished brewing two decoctions in the cottage; then he brought them to Su Xiaoxue's house. When he arrived, Su Xiaoxue's grandpa was also there.

"Hello, Dr. Wang," said Su Xiaoxue's grandpa.

"Hello, Sir!" Wang Yao greeted Su Xiaoxue's grandpa just like the others did.

"Don't call me Sir, you can call me grandpa, or elder," said Su Xiaoxue's grandpa.

"Thank you! But I think I should still call you Sir like the others do!" said Wang Yao with a smile. "I had brewed two decoctions for Xiaoxue to see if she can get better after taking them."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxue's mother took the decoctions from Wang Yao.

In two days' time, Su Xiaoxue's family was more and more impressed by Wang Yao. They could see Su Xiaoxue gradually getting better. No one could achieve this in the past no matter how very much they wanted it to happen. Wang Yao was also highly regarded by the other two experienced elderly doctors.

"I wish I could keep Dr. Wang in Beijing!" more than one family member said this when they were together.

Then the thought or suggestion was turned down by Su Xiaoxue's grandpa.

"Xiaoxue still needs him to treat her disease. But it is up to him to stay or leave. All we can do is support him!" said Su Xiaoxue's grandpa.

This was not only Su Xiaoxue's grandpa's idea, but it was also Su Xiaoxue's father's thoughts too.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" asked Su Xiaoxue's grandpa.

"Yes, I need to deal with some family business," said Wang Yao.

"When will you come back?" asked Su Xiaoxue's grandpa gently.

"I will see...as soon as I can!" said Wang Yao.

Since he had come to Beijing, seen the patient and started to treat her disease, he would continue to treat her and try his best to cure her.

"Okay, let me know if you need anything," said Su Xiaoxue's grandpa.

"I will," said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao didn't leave immediately after Su Xiaoxue had taken part of one decoction. He sat next to Su Xiaoxue's bed to observe her.

I feel so comfortable! thought Su Xiaoxue at the time.

She felt the burning pain throughout her body quickly reducing. The decoction was like the rain falling on the fire she was in. Her pain was reduced, and her tensed nerves were relaxed.

What would make someone comfortable—soaking their feet in warm water before going to bed after a tiresome day, having a nice meal after being hungry for the whole day, and reducing pain from ten to one on the scale!

Unfortunately, she was unable to express how she was feeling in words at the time.

"I think the decoction worked. Her pulse became steadier," said Wang Yao.

A while after Su Xiaoxue had taken the decoction, Wang Yao checked her pulse again.

I hear this voice again! Who is he? Is he here to treat my disease? thought Su Xiaoxue

At the moment, Dr. Chen entered Su Xiaoxue's bedroom.

"Hello, Dr. Chen." Su Xiaoxue's mother greeted Dr. Chen.

"Hello," said Dr. Chen.

Everyone in the room was looking at Su Xiaoxue, who slowly closed her eyes. This really scared all her family members.

"Xiaoxue!" shouted Su Xiaoxue's mother.

Hush!

Wang Yao put his finger in front of his mouth. He had been checking Su Xiaoxue's pulse, so he knew that she was fine and she just wanted to sleep.

"She is going to rest!" said Wang Yao.

Dr. Chen was surprised to see what was happening. He sat down immediately after Wang Yao had stood up to check Su Xiaoxue's pulse.

After a while, Dr. Chen lifted his hand gently and looked at Wang Yao. His eyes were full of surprise and confusion. Wang Yao had given him too many surprises.

Dr. Chen knew Su Xiaoxue very well because he had been her doctor. The reason why Su Xiaoxue could survive was not only because of her own strong will, but also Dr. Chen's extraordinary medical skills. But all he could do was to keep her alive. He couldn't make her better. After months of treatment, Su Xiaoxue's condition became more and more critical.

This young man only used one herbal pill to bring Su Xiaoxue back to life when she almost died, then used one herbal formula to improve her immunity. Now, he even could make her sleep by prescribing two formulas. What an extraordinary doctor he was!

"Young man, who is your master?" Dr. Chen asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"God!" Wang Yao pointed to the sky with a smile.

"Haha!" Dr. Chen shook his head with a smile.

He thought Wang Yao just brushed him off. He didn't know that Wang Yao was telling the truth that the system was truly given by God.

Dr. Chen didn't ask any more questions as he presumed Wang Yao didn't want to disclose his master.

"Xiaoxue was fine. She just went to sleep. Let her sleep for a while. She hasn't slept well for a long time," said Dr. Chen.

"Okay." Su Xiaoxue's mother was relieved.

"Give her another two doses of decoction at night," said Wang Yao.

"Sure," said Su Xiaoxue's mother. "Dr. Wang, can you brew more decoctions for Xiaoxue?"

"Let's see how these two doses work first," said Wang Yao.

He wanted to brew more decoctions, but he required licorice roots to brew decoctions. He didn't have enough licorice roots left.

As for the cost of those decoctions, Wang Yao couldn't change it because the formula was provided by the system, and the cost was determined by the system. Anshensan and Regather soup were shockingly expensive, but Su Xiaoxue's family didn't care. As for the pain relief powder, he set the price according to the cost of herbs included.

After everything was done, Wang Yao left Su Xiaoxue's home. Su Xiaoxue's family members walked him out and watched him drive off. They didn't go back inside until they couldn't see the back of the car.

"Ruiping, do you still have any decoctions from Dr. Wang left?" asked Dr. Chen who stayed.

"Yes, I'll go get it for you," said Ruiping.

"Okay, thanks," said Dr. Chen.

Ruiping placed two bottles of decoctions on the table. Dr. Chen poured a little from each bottle and tasted them.
