Synopsis

“Qingchuan, the clinic is famous far and wide now, and we owe so much to you for honoring us with your presence back then!”
“Everyone, let’s raise a glass to our great contributor!”
At Tang Qianyu’s call, the clinic staff stood up one after another and enthusiastically toasted Jiang Qingchuan.
Jiang Qingchuan stood up looking flattered, waving modestly at everyone, though a hint of smugness flashed through his eyes.
After several rounds of drinks, Tang Qianyu’s cheeks were flushed as she held Jiang Qingchuan’s hand, her eyes full of tenderness.
“Qingchuan, if you hadn’t been by my side during this time, I really don’t know what I would’ve done...”
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Qianyu covered her face and began to choke up, looking pitiful as if she had suffered some great injustice.
Jiang Qingchuan hurriedly put down his glass, wrapped an arm intimately around her fragrant shoulder, and said with pity, “Silly girl, what are you saying? This is all what I should do, and being able to help you is my greatest honor.”
Alcohol gave him courage, and he lightly kissed Tang Qianyu on the forehead.
The employees present exchanged glances, then immediately began cheering and echoing, “Dr. Jiang, you don’t have to be modest. You were willing to give up your status as a famous overseas doctor and come all the way to our clinic to see patients, so you absolutely deserve the credit!”
“That’s right. Ms. Tang never drinks, but today she’s drinking so much for once.”
“That just shows how important Dr. Jiang is to Ms. Tang.”
Looking at the private room filled with laughter and joy,
I stood at the doorway, and my mood instantly sank to freezing point.
Today was the twenty-eighth day of the last lunar month, and according to past tradition, the clinic would hold its year-end gathering on this day, so in order not to miss it, I dragged my injured arm to the clinic early, only to find the front doors locked and not a single person there.
It was only when the cleaning lady appeared that I learned from her that my wife, Tang Qianyu, had given all the employees the day off and had specially booked a private room at a high-end restaurant to hold a grand celebration banquet.
At first, I thought maybe she had been too busy and had forgotten to notify me.
But when I saw her leaning in the arms of her first love, Jiang Qingchuan, with that shy look on her face, I suddenly understood.
She had not forgotten to notify me; she simply did not want me to show up.
On the surface, it was a celebration banquet, but in reality, it was to solidify Jiang Qingchuan’s position and make all the employees acknowledge his ability.
The weather forecast said there would be thunderstorms today, and Tang Qianyu had a cold-damp constitution, so I was afraid she would get caught in the rain and specially brought her an umbrella.
Jiang Qingchuan sat in the main seat facing the door, and when he saw me appear, he pretended to be shocked and shouted,
“Xiao Yan, why did you come here? Aren’t you supposed to be recovering at home?”
All the employees present turned their heads and cast sympathetic looks at me, as if there was a lush green meadow above my head.
Tang Qianyu pursed her lips and stared unhappily at the cast on my arm, her eyes full of disdain.
She slowly left Jiang Qingchuan’s arms, sat up straight, and shouted at me drunkenly,
“Xiao Yan, you unlucky jinx, you can even fall while walking on flat ground, and I don’t know whether to say you have no eyes or no brain.”
“The flu is so serious right now, and the number of patients is increasing every day, yet you choose such a crucial moment to mess things up.”
“If Jiang Qingchuan hadn’t come to save the day in time, the clinic would have closed down long ago.”
Seeing that I stood there without moving at all, Tang Qianyu deliberately cleared her throat and raised her voice to order me,
“Since your arm is injured and you can’t work, why don’t you simply tell Jiang Qingchuan that ancestral prescription and let him make the medicine?”
“The clinic’s business won’t be delayed, and you can rest and recover properly, so it’s the best of both worlds.”
Tang Qianyu put on a regretful expression, trying to hide the cunning glint in her eyes.
Every word she said was like an arrow dipped in poison, shooting straight into my heart.
Jiang Qingchuan quickly stood up and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “Yuyu, what are you talking about? That’s Xiao Yan’s signature prescription, and I wouldn’t want to ruin it in my hands.”
Tang Qianyu gently stepped forward, took his hand, and comforted him, “What are you afraid of? You’re a famous overseas doctor, and the fact that you’re willing to use it is already an acknowledgment of him.”
“It’s the honor of three generations of his family, and he should be thanking you.”
Many of the clinic’s longtime patients came specifically for my family’s ancestral pills, which not only strengthened vital energy but also cured illnesses effectively, greatly reducing the damage that disease caused to the body.
If someone had not poured oil all over the entrance, I would not have fallen and broken my arm.
Even more coincidentally, right after my accident, Jiang Qingchuan immediately stepped in the very next day.
In less than ten hours, he had resigned from an American hospital and rushed here to see patients.
Tang Qianyu believed he was a divine savior sent by heaven to rescue her.
“Xiao Yan, don’t be too selfish. Without my clinic giving you a place to show your skills, who knows where you’d still be working as an intern doctor right now.”
Then Tang Qianyu could not help belittling me, afraid that I would refuse to hand over the prescription.
In an instant, all the employees were shocked by her words, and they also felt that Tang Qianyu had gone too far.
I strode toward Jiang Qingchuan, and just when everyone thought I was going to hit him,
Tang Qianyu stood up and prepared to block me, but unexpectedly, I took out the ancestral prescription and handed it to Jiang Qingchuan, smiling as I said,
“It’s just a prescription, isn’t it? If you want it, then take it.”
“Since you’re so capable, why don’t you become the clinic director too?”Tang Qianyu slowly lowered the hands she had raised to block me, disbelief showing in her eyes.
“What, were you afraid I’d hit someone?”
A sharp pain came from my chest, and if a fight really broke out, Tang Qianyu would definitely risk everything to save him, long forgetting whose wife she was.
Her face turned pale, then blue, and she explained in a panic, “Of course not, I was just afraid you’d act impulsively.”
“He’s your great benefactor, so how could I bear to hurt him?” I said with a bitter smile, staring at her with contempt.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
She shifted her gaze to the prescription, the corners of her mouth lifting with a hint of joy, then she pretended to be annoyed and asked,
“What do you mean by giving Jiang Qingchuan the position of clinic director?”
I patted Jiang Qingchuan on the shoulder and said gently,
“Since Dr. Jiang is willing to help me, he might as well help all the way and take over the burden on my shoulders too.”
This way, Jiang Qingchuan would truly have authority in the clinic, and no one would dare question him.
Tang Qianyu had originally been worried that after I recovered and returned to the clinic, I would fire him, but now that I was handing over the director position to him and letting the man she cherished most take the seat, she should finally feel at ease.
Jiang Qingchuan had given up a high-paying overseas job for her, and warmth surged in Tang Qianyu’s heart.
My willingness to step down and make way for someone supposedly more capable made Tang Qianyu even more certain that Jiang Qingchuan was a rare talent who had to be kept.
Jiang Qingchuan hurriedly put the prescription into his pocket, and seeing the awkward atmosphere, he pretended to be sincere and said,
“Xiao Yan, don’t be angry.”
“Yuyu is only thinking about what’s best for the clinic, and it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury, so your hand still needs quite a while to heal.”
“It’s not like I absolutely have to have your prescription, and I studied abroad for many years too, so this prescription is just icing on the cake.”
With just a few words, Jiang Qingchuan erased years of my hard work.
Although the prescription had been passed down from my ancestors, I had adjusted it nearly ten times to ensure its effectiveness before it could cure illnesses so quickly.
In their eyes, if my ancestors had not accumulated merit and passed this prescription down to me, I would never have gained the reputation I had today.
They wanted my prescription while also belittling me, and their methods were truly disgusting.
“It’s every doctor’s shared wish for patients who come seeking treatment to recover as soon as possible.”
“How could I be angry over that?”
I let out a breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted, then stepped forward, held his hand, and encouraged him,
“Jiang Qingchuan, the clinic will be in your hands from now on.”
Tang Qianyu thought I felt ashamed of my own inferiority and did not hear the anger hidden in my words, so she said smugly,
“Qingchuan, everyone acknowledges you, and the clinic will definitely become famous far and wide.”
Tang Qianyu had long disliked my overflowing sympathy, because I often prescribed affordable medicine for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.
She had scolded me many times for that, believing that only making huge profits could represent success in running a clinic.
Now that someone could replace me, Tang Qianyu could not have asked for more.
Jiang Qingchuan thanked me with his mouth, but his eyes carried the nasty smile of a petty man who had gotten what he wanted.
After handing him the prescription and the position, I decided to completely let go and never step into this muddy water again.
This prescription seemed to have its secret in the medicinal ingredients, but in reality, the method of making the medicine was the most crucial part.
In order to make the prescription suitable for most patients, I had painstakingly studied it, searched through countless ancient texts, tested it under different temperatures, environments, and humidity levels, and even incorporated the five elements of the Book of Changes before finally achieving its current result.
Once it left me, this prescription would not only lose half its effectiveness, but with the slightest mistake, it would become a deadly poison.
Jiang Qingchuan was still immersed in joy, fantasizing about becoming the famous miracle doctor Dr. Jiang.
Little did he know that the prescription in his hands was the executioner that would ruin his reputation.
Seeing my silence, Tang Qianyu felt a little guilty, so she magnanimously said to me,
“How about this? You can still handle purchasing the medicinal ingredients in the future.”
“Jiang Qingchuan isn’t familiar with the market, and with the clinic being so busy, I don’t want him to get exhausted.”
Heh, she was afraid he would be tired out, but she treated me like a beast of burden.
Market purchasing was the most exhausting job, because I had to select the quality of the medicinal ingredients, bargain with suppliers, and finally arrange transport and hauling.
I once suggested hiring an employee to be responsible for this task, but Tang Qianyu had said impatiently,
“Isn’t it just talking? What’s so hard about it?”
She was afraid Jiang Qingchuan would work himself to death, yet afraid I would not be worked to death.
Jiang Qingchuan quickly stepped in to add fuel to the fire, pretending to be alarmed as he said,
“Wouldn’t that make Xiao Yan my subordinate?”
His face was flushed, and others might have mistaken it for excitement, but in truth, he was already delighted inside and holding back laughter.
The employees nearby began cheering one after another, respectfully toasting this new clinic director, eager to cling to his influence.
Tang Qianyu beamed as she celebrated for Jiang Qingchuan, and I had never seen her so happy even at our wedding.
She turned around and waved at me with a look of disgust, as if calling a dog.
“What are you standing there for? Go toast Jiang Qingchuan and congratulate him!”
Seeing me pick up the glass, Jiang Qingchuan looked extremely smug, like a general who had won a battle.
“Xiao Yan, you can absolutely rest assured leaving the clinic to me....”
Before he could finish speaking, I raised the glass over his head and poured it down.
“Director Jiang, does this toast taste good?”
