Chapter 125: Chapter 125: True Colors Revealed
Miao Qingqing quickly followed him out and stood in front of Song Xiaodong, squinting her eyes and said, "Although you are usually out of sorts, your medical skill is still quite impressive."
"Is that your way of complimenting someone?" Song Xiaodong gave Miao Qingqing a big eye roll.
Miao Qingqing now found Song Xiaodong much more pleasing to the eye and chuckled lightly, "Alright, Iāll properly commend you. You are a respectable doctor, Doctor Song, and for this matter, I really must thank you earnestly."
"You want to thank me, huh..." Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and whispered into Miao Qingqingās ear, "Just book a room tonight, get cleaned up, and wait for me."
"Go to hell!" Miao Qingqingās smile vanished in an instant, and she glared at him fiercely, "Itās impossible to compliment you. I just praised you, and you showed your true colors."
"Ha... you said you wanted to thank me, right? For me, thereās no better way to express that thanks than this."
"Song Xiaodong, you jerk!" Miao Qingqing gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite a chunk of flesh from him.
Song Xiaodong laughed again, "If youāre unwilling, then forget it. Iām leaving now. Continue living your princess life; I wonāt shamelessly cling to you."
Having said that, Song Xiaodong waved his hand and strode away.
Miao Qingqing glared furiously at Song Xiaodong, suddenly realizing that there was more to his words. She suddenly understood that this guy really thought she was the same woman from two years ago. Talking about her āprincess lifeā and not clinging to her anymore implied she didnāt want to acknowledge it.
"Jerk, that person wasnāt me! You just have to pin it on me, itās infuriating!" Miao Qingqing stamped her foot in anger, but there was nothing she could do but turn around and go back into the private room.
As soon as she entered, Cui Enshi expressed his gratitude effusively, "President Miao, I really didnāt expect your boyfriend to be so capable. If it werenāt for him this time, I would have met the King of Hell."
Miao Qingqing quickly responded, "President Cui, you flatter him. It was just good timing. Heās a doctor; saving lives is what he should do."
Cui Enshi hurriedly replied, "No, no, no, it still requires capability. Just a few needles saved my life, heās definitely much more skilled than an average doctor. I wonāt say more, for this cooperation, letās finalize it. Everything will proceed according to President Miaoās proposal, I, Cui Enshi, have no objections."
Miao Qingqing was momentarily stunned, then immediately overjoyed. She had been negotiating this deal for a long time, and Cui Enshi had been clinging to his terms stubbornly, causing Miao Qingqing a lot of headaches. She hadnāt expected that todayās accident would accelerate the deal.
"President Cui, by saying that, it makes me feel like Iām exploiting the situation, which is not my style. Business is business, personal matters are separate. I still hope you wonāt let personal feelings interfere with work."
Cui Enshi laughed heartily, "President Miao, Iāve always admired you, and now I respect you even more. At this moment, you can still speak such words; Iām even more reassured to cooperate with you. Prepare the contract, President Miao, letās sign it tomorrow."
Zheng Shuhang frowned secretly, having thought this cooperation would be challenging, but now it was surprisingly easy to achieve, which was not good news for his company.
It was all because of Song Xiaodong, that jerk. He never expected him to actually be able to cure Cui Enshi. What was more upsetting was that it had been his suggestion to bring Song Xiaodong in to save Cui Enshi. This was really shooting himself in the foot.
"President Miao, your boyfriend is a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, right?" Cui Enshi asked at that moment.
"Yes." Miao Qingqing could only admit reluctantly.
Cui Enshi hurriedly said, "Could you find a time for him to give me a thorough check-up? I feel my health is deteriorating. I need to see if there are other issues and then find some treatment methods."
Zheng Shuhang immediately said, "President Cui, do you really believe in this kind of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Cui Enshi nodded and said, "Of course I believe, our ancestors left us something truly formidable. Itās just that nowadays, itās too difficult to find a truly skilled practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Today, I finally encountered one, and I canāt let him slip away."
Zheng Shuhang grinned and said, "So President Cui holds Traditional Chinese Medicine in high regard."
"You young people are of course accustomed to Western Medicine, but for someone my age, the focus is more on protecting and nourishing the body. In this regard, Western Medicine falls short. Moreover, you saw earlier, didnāt you? A skilled practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine can achieve with a few needles what requires surgery in Western Medicine. Isnāt that worthy of admiration? President Miao, you really must help with this."
Miao Qingqing quickly said, "Okay, okay, take a rest today, and Iāll have him see you tomorrow."
"Great! Then this time itās a blessing in disguise, haha! Letās drink... oh right, I canāt drink anymore, haha, letās nourish life, letās go somewhere else for some tea!"
Although there was a frightening incident during the dinner party, in the end, everyone was happy, host and guests alike. Just before they broke up, Cui Enshi still earnestly requested Miao Qingqing to make sure the matter was taken care of and to have Song Xiaodong give him a thorough check-up the next day.
Miao Qingqing got home at just past six in the evening. After washing up and changing into her pajamas, she sat on her bed, took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, but still made a call to Song Xiaodongās mobile phone.
"Are you Miao Qingqing or Miao Xuanxuan?" Song Xiaodong asked right off the bat.
"Miao Qingqing."
"How can you prove it? Iāve been played by you two sisters all day, who knows who you really are."
Miao Qingqing said, "Today, you helped me save a president at the restaurant."
"Thatās not enough."
Miao Qingqingās face darkened as she said, "Today, I pretended to be Miao Xuanxuan at the restroom entrance."
Song Xiaodong firmly rejected again, "Thatās not enough either, you canāt say that both of you are easily recognizable."
"Then how do you want me to prove it?" Miao Qingqing asked annoyed.
"It has to be something only the two of us know, of course."
"I see..." Miao Qingqingās eyes twinkled, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face. She giggled and said, "Youāve caught me, I am Miao Xuanxuan."
"Tch, I knew it was you, you little rascal stealing your sisterās phone to mess with me. Now you admit it? Your sister would never just call me up for no reason."
Miao Qingqing lightly bit her lip and said, "Xiaodong, I want to go out and have fun today, will you take me out? Anything is fine."
After saying this, Miao Qingqing perked up her ears, curious to see just how far things had developed between Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan.
