Yun Jie checked the documents that Ye Ling had brought to ensure that there were no missing materials. She commented, “Only the first-place finisher can delay reporting for so many days without being criticized by Sister Gao. Furthermore, even before you arrived, Sister Gao has been constantly mentioning you, fearing that Willow Village will discover your talent and won’t allow you to leave.”

“Sister Gao?” Ye Ling turned to Yun Jie with a puzzled expression.

Ji Mei explained, “Sister Gao is the person in charge of the pharmacy, Gao Min. She is also a cadre in the town’s Women’s Union and the attending doctor of the town clinic. She’s usually very busy. The pharmacy just opened a few days ago, and she has been coming every day. However, in recent days, she only comes on her shifts and days off.”

Ye Ling nodded, thinking that Sister Gao sounded quite impressive.

Ye Ling also had aspirations to obtain a medical license, so she knew she would be interacting with Sister Gao frequently in the future.

Obtaining a medical license was much more challenging than the pharmacy administrator selection exam and required a certificate of endorsement from a township hospital. This meant that Ye Ling needed approval from the town clinic to participate in the county’s medical license exam.

The medical license exam did not restrict the number of people who could pass. It only depended on the scores. To pass, candidates needed a score of over 90 in a 100-point test.

What kind of concept was this? According to Ye Ling’s understanding, in Willow Village’s clinic, only Doctor Xu had a medical license. The other doctors and nurses should have been participating in the medical license assessment every year.

However, so far, it appeared that no one had passed all the assessments and obtained a medical license.

Hence, the value of this medical license was very high, and obtaining it was quite challenging.

Of course, such a difficulty setting was reasonable. A doctor’s job involved dealing with patients’ lives and health. Compared to other professions, it required more precise judgment and a lower margin of error. Therefore, it was justifiable to have a stricter selection process.

Yun Jie collected Ye Ling’s documents and said, “I’ll submit your documents. You can start work the day after tomorrow. We’ll reorganize the schedule at that time. Can you make it the day after tomorrow?”

Ye Ling nodded and replied, “No problem. ”

Ji Mei then suggested, “Yun Jie, why don’t you show Ye Ling around and introduce her to the pharmacy’s basics?”

Afterward, Ye Ling accompanied Yun Jie around the pharmacy. Seeing the hundreds of herbs in the medicine cabinets, Ye Ling was ecstatic and wished she could sleep in the pharmacy at night.

However, as daylight faded outside, Ye Ling suppressed her excitement and said to Yun Jie, “It’s getting late. I should head back.”

Yun Jie nodded and, after seeing Ye Ling to the door, she asked, “You’re still living in Willow Village. Do you plan to move back to Stone Village?”

“I’m planning to move back. Before coming to the pharmacy, I spoke to the village chief, and he said they would arrange a new educated youth dormitory for me.”

Yun Jie smiled and said, “It would be great if you could move to my side. We could work together in the future.”

Ye Ling also had high hopes for that prospect and felt that a new chapter in her life was beckoning.

After bidding farewell to Yun Jie, Ye Ling walked back along the rural path bathed in the orange hue of the sunset.

As she observed her steps moving forward, Ye Ling contemplated her imminent departure from the Wan family, which brought a sharp pang of emotion. Starting a new life meant saying goodbye to some people, and although it wasn’t permanent, it still felt like parting.

Ye Ling felt a deep sense of unease, particularly when she thought about someone. She was filled with a profound sense of reluctance.

As Ye Ling was lost in these thoughts, her vision suddenly darkened, and she realized there was someone in front of her. She had almost collided with this person due to her slow reaction. When she raised her head, they were already in close proximity. Ye Ling felt her shoulder being gently pressed by the person, who then used a bit of force to create distance between them. Then, she heard a familiar voice whisper, “What were you thinking? You weren’t even looking where you were walking. ”

Ye Ling raised her head and stared blankly at Min Nan.

The person she had been thinking about just moments ago had suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a rather peculiar feeling.

When Min Nan saw Ye Ling, he walked towards her. He thought Ye Ling would notice him soon, but Ye Ling was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t even stop and ran straight into him..
