Chapter 397: Chapter 199: The Benefits of Gift-Giving—You Gotta Show Off at the Club_2

On the way back to the clinic, he sent Ou Qinglan a message.

"Xiao Qinglan, I have some good news to tell you, my clinic storefront is sorted!"

The first person Li Jingsheng thought of was her, sharing this good news.

Does this mean Ou Qinglan’s place in his heart has risen?

No response.

She went back home for some unknown affair, only replying very late to Li Jingsheng’s message.

As the taxi was about to reach the clinic, Ou Qinglan’s message came through.

"Really! I’ve been worried about this for you!"

"Also, I hate that little word."

After replying with two text messages, Ou Qinglan also sent an emoji of a hammer knocking on a brain.

"Then I’ll call you silly from now on!"

Li Jingsheng was in a good mood and teased her intentionally.

A row of hammer-on-head emojis came back in response.

"Did you finish what you needed to do back home? When are you coming back?"

He really did miss her.

"I’m leaving tomorrow morning at ten, arriving in Jiangli City at Minglong Airport a little after five in the afternoon. Will you come pick me up?"

Looks like she went home to get some pocket money from her parents.

When she went home, she took a two-night train; now returning to Jiangli City, it only takes half a day, she’s switching to flights.

"Of course! I’ll make it there on time."

Minglong Airport is about a forty-minute drive from the second hospital.

He needs to work at the second hospital tomorrow.

This means he’ll need to take about two hours off.

Luckily, whether it’s Doctor Xu or Director Hua, he has a good relationship with them, taking leave shouldn’t be a problem.

"By the way, how much was the plane ticket? I’ll transfer it to you."

Li Jingsheng has been dating her for a while, but she’s never spent his money.

She never asked for a red envelope or gifts.

"Sure, you can transfer it! The airfare was 1600."

She accepted it.

Li Jingsheng can earn money now, so he sent 2000.

"Next time, don’t take the train, I’ll buy you the plane ticket!"

After sending the money, he reminded her.

"Haha, you really transferred! I have money now, I’ll come to you when I’m out of money!"

Ou Qinglan did not accept the transfer.

Instead, she returned it directly.

Clearly, she was very pleased with Li Jingsheng’s gesture.

"Where did you rent the storefront? Still the Old Street of South City? Is the money enough?"

She asked about the real matter.

"It’s just diagonally across, I rented a small courtyard, and the rent isn’t expensive. It’s just that the renovation will take some time."

Li Jingsheng is only planning to do some simple renovations for now.

Time is tight and his funds aren’t ample.

Once the new storefront is renovated, he plans to replace the old X-ray machine. It’s long overdue for an upgrade.

Also, he intends to set up an operating room.

Surgical operations not only have great profit potential but also help him improve surgical skills.

Bone setting techniques combined with surgical business could have a larger development space.

As for internal medicine, his current plan is to hire a certified doctor for consultations.

"Hmm, that’s good. Watching you worry about the storefront matter, calm on the surface but actually frowning, it breaks my heart."

They say women have a keen mind. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Li Jingsheng hid it well, but she still discovered it all.

She just never mentioned it.

"Someone’s calling me, can’t talk with you now. See you tomorrow!"

"Be careful on the way back!"

Li Jingsheng reminded her.

...

The next day, Li Jingsheng promptly transferred the 70,000 rent to that company’s account.

Today is destined to be a ’cheeky’ day.

In the morning, he took half an hour off from the hospital to run to the bank and make the transfer. In the afternoon, he would leave an hour earlier.

Fortunately, Director Hua highly values him and he behaves properly usually, never having taken leave.

He quickly approved it.

As for Doctor Xu’s side, even more straightforward.

Just three words "You go ahead!"

Around three in the afternoon, President Yan sent a message.

"The contract is signed, please pick it up at the teahouse."

"Got it! Thank you, President Yan!"

This time, Li Jingsheng was completely reassured.

The storefront matter is finally settled, no worries for at least a year.

After picking up the contract, he could start looking for workers to renovate the small courtyard tomorrow.

Close to four o’clock, he walked out of the hospital. Took a cab directly to Minglong Airport.

Luck wasn’t bad, he wasn’t caught in the six o’clock rush hour, the road wasn’t congested. It only took forty-two minutes to reach the airport.

It wasn’t even five o’clock.

He tried calling Ou Qinglan’s phone, it was powered off.

It meant she was still on the plane.

Sent her a WeChat message, telling her he had arrived.

Around five forty-something, he saw her walking out of the airport.

Dragging a pink suitcase, carrying a beige crossbody bag. Wearing a beautiful layered white dress, partly with lace.

It made her look very grand.

She was originally very good-looking, walking in the airport with a high rate of turning heads.

A young man there for pickups, in grey trousers, blue short-sleeve shirt, hair neatly styled. Wearing a Montblanc watch on his wrist. A very strong aura, overall quite impressive.

One look, he was the successful, talented social elite type.

This man saw Ou Qinglan come out, his eyes lit up slightly, he stepped forward with a smile and said to her, "May I have the honor of knowing you? I think you are the most beautiful and enchanting in the airport."

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend!"
