Chapter 61: National Medical Doctor Ye Chen?
“Hmph, saying one thing but meaning another,” Lin Xiyan muttered under her breath as she hurriedly left the area.
She hadn’t forgotten her promise to Ye Chen to help him network, and she didn’t want Shen Qingqiu and others to see her in a flustered state.
Watching Lin Xiyan’s retreating figure, Jiang Che smirked playfully. He found her quite interesting. Clearly flustered by his remark, she still approached him to be further teased.
And to tease her, in front of her Senior Sister Shen Qingqiu herself, was indeed thrilling!
“Sister, what did Jiang Che say to you just now?” Watching Lin Xiyan come over, Ye Chen tried to suppress his inner fury and calm himself down.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it,” Lin Xiyan glanced at Ye Chen. She couldn’t possibly admit that she had been swayed by Jiang Che’s words.
“I came to find you to help you network. You wanted to show your face in front of these influential people in Linjiang, right? Are you ready?” Lin Xiyan asked Ye Chen, as this opportunity was a rare one, and it was up to him to seize it.
“I’m ready…” Ye Chen took a deep breath, pushing aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind. For now, his own matters were more pressing.
Lin Xiyan didn’t say much more and led Ye Chen directly to her grandfather.
“Grandpa, let me introduce someone to you. This is my junior brother, his name is Ye Chen.” Lin Xiyan smiled as she introduced Ye Chen to Lin Canghai.
“Ye Chen…” Lin Canghai looked at Ye Chen, waiting silently for Lin Xiyan to continue. He knew his granddaughter wouldn’t bring someone just for introductions.
“He is my master’s prized disciple and has achieved a high level of medical skill.”
“Oh?” Hearing this, Lin Canghai immediately became interested. “How high exactly?”
He asked curiously, his eyes filled with skepticism as he looked at Ye Chen. It wasn’t that he doubted Ye Chen, but he was just too young for such claims.
Lin Xiyan glanced at Ye Chen, signaling him to take over the conversation. She wasn’t aware of the extent of his medical skills.
“Lin grandpa, I notice some hollowness in your face… Have you been suffering from frequent insomnia, poor appetite, and occasional sudden abdominal pain?”
Ye Chen observed Lin Canghai’s face and confidently stated his diagnosis. In Chinese medicine, practitioners often diagnose by observing a patient’s appearance, and at his level, he could generally identify someone’s illness just by looking at their face.
“This…” Lin Canghai looked at Ye Chen in a daze, because what Ye Chen described matched his symptoms exactly. It was unbelievable that Ye Chen could diagnose him with just a glance.
He knew about the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine and how renowned doctors could diagnose illnesses with just a look. But he hadn’t expected Ye Chen, so young, to achieve such a feat.
“What’s causing it?” He asked out of curiosity.
“That’s because you, Lin grandpa, always take on everything yourself, leading to mental and physical exhaustion,” Ye Chen explained. “At your age, you should avoid such stress. In the long run, it’s not good for your health.”
Ye Chen shook his head and said to Lin Canghai, “You don’t have any specific disease. It’s just a series of reactions caused by overworking yourself. Grandfather Lin, at your age, you should be enjoying a peaceful life.”
“You can let Uncle Lin and my senior sister handle the affairs. Taking care of your health is the most important thing.”
Lin Canghai, looking at Ye Chen, asked directly, “Tell me, what do you want from me? You surely didn’t just come here to diagnose me, especially not at my birthday banquet.”
“Hehe…” Ye Chen scratched his head awkwardly, a bit embarrassed, as he didn’t expect Lin Canghai to be so straightforward.
“Grandpa, I asked him to come,” Lin Xiyan stepped in to explain. “Remember the Beauty Pill I told you about? That was given to me by Ye Chen. He’s ambitious and has extraordinary medical skills, so I brought him to your birthday party to introduce him to the influential people of Linjiang City.”
Lin Canghai looked at Ye Chen and inquired, “So, that Beauty Pill came from him?”
Lin Xiyan nodded, confirming, “Yes.”
Lin Canghai then smiled and said, “Since you brought such significant business to the Lin family, it’s only right for us to help you.”
Ye Chen, visibly pleased, thanked Lin Canghai profusely.
Later, Lin Canghai stood in the center of the living room and announced, “Today, I want to introduce someone special to all of you. This person has unparalleled medical skills, a rare talent who is the future National Medical Doctor of Linjiang City.”
The announcement sparked a buzz among the guests, with many expressing surprise and curiosity about this new figure in their city. Lin Canghai then gestured towards Ye Chen, indicating him as the person he was referring to.
