"Doctor Ma, I still need to attend school, so I’ll leave Tongxin Hall entirely in your hands. Because I’m still young, if I open the store under my name, it might cause trouble, so both the business license and medical qualification certificate verification should be registered under your name at the commerce bureau."
Ma Shu has experience in healing and is a seasoned doctor; using his name to oversee Tongxin Hall is the safest option.
Nowadays, patients often choose a doctor based on age.
Younger doctors lack credibility.
Especially in the age-old culture of traditional Chinese medicine, older doctors are more trusted.
Nianyang handed ten thousand yuan to Ma Shu, which was for the renovation funds for Tongxin Hall. It was almost enough for both the interior and exterior.
Casually taking out ten thousand yuan, Ma Shu was quite startled.
He joked, "Divine Doctor Gu, are you just handing me so much money without worry? Aren’t you afraid I’ll pocket it all for myself?"
"I trust you."
Nianyang always believed in the principle of not employing someone she distrusts and not doubting those she employs.
She knows Ma Shu’s character well, and he is absolutely trustworthy.
"Divine Doctor Gu, rest assured, I will definitely manage Tongxin Hall well for you!" Ma Shu solemnly promised, sensing from Nianyang’s tone how much she valued him, and felt inexplicably motivated.
He also became more devoted to Nianyang, believing that under her leadership, Tongxin Hall would surely thrive, and his own medical journey would progress further.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
After Nianyang finished instructing Ma Shu and was about to leave, a group of people entered with a fierce demeanor.
Leading them was a tall and burly middle-aged man who spoke in a menacing manner, "Who is the owner of this property? Come out!"
Nianyang stood still, "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
The middle-aged man sized up Nianyang and sneered,
"So it’s you, little girl, who took my property, huh? You’re quite audacious, daring to take the storefront I had my eyes on?"
Nianyang frowned, "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged woman beside the man jumped out, shouting sharply, "What do you mean? You still have the nerve to ask?
This storefront was initially agreed to be sold to us by Ruan Weidong. We were supposed to pay the deposit today, but he said it’s already sold. Little girl, you have no morals, don’t you understand the principle of first come, first served?"
Nianyang looked at them with a faint smile, "According to you, you initially only discussed the intention of purchasing with Uncle Ruan, without immediately paying a deposit, and instead said you’d go back to consider it, right?"
The middle-aged woman was aggressive, "So what if that’s the case?"
"Auntie, buying property is not a joke. When you said you were considering, it meant you didn’t choose this property. Uncle Ruan wasn’t obliged to hold this spot for you, so I didn’t take your property; rather, it’s because you didn’t seize the opportunity. Who’s to blame?"
The middle-aged woman was at a loss for words, and the middle-aged man glared fiercely, "Enough nonsense. Anyway, we saw this property first. If you know what’s good for you, sell it to us right away, understand?"
"What if I don’t?"
"Little girl, I advise you not to oppose me. Do you know who I am?"
The middle-aged man said proudly, "My family has special connections. If you don’t cooperate, I have a hundred ways to prevent your store from continuing here!"
