The business is struggling.
And the person at the store is a middle-aged woman, close to forty.
Outsiders think she’s the owner, Li Jingsheng thought so too.
Until Ou Qinglan told him that the middle-aged woman at the store was hired by her father for three thousand yuan a month to watch the store.
At first, Li Jingsheng found it puzzling.
The rent alone costs at least eight thousand.
With just a few dried goods like raisins and walnuts on display and hiring someone for three thousand to watch the store, it’s unlikely they’d even make back the capital.
Later, after thinking it over, he realized how clever Ou Qinglan’s father was.
Because when the clinic was opened there, someone had recently died, so it couldn’t be rented out at all.
Now they simply renovated it and sold some dried goods, not to make money, but to gradually dilute the impact of the death.
Buying the storefront saved them hundreds of thousands, even losing a few months isn’t a big loss.
By the time they rent it out normally, all the money will be recouped.
It just shows, Ou Qinglan’s father’s vision and scale are not something Li Jingsheng can compare to at the moment.
By the time Li Jingsheng is worth tens of millions, he might reach this level.
After all, risking 1.3 or 1.4 million takes courage unless one has some money as backup.
"You’re so busy you can’t even take a moment to eat. If you don’t stop, the food will get cold!"
Ou Qinglan handed the food to Li Jingsheng.
No need to pick a place, they just started eating right at the rest area outside the clinic.
"Can I come to your clinic tonight for practice in suturing?"
"Might as well teach you to kiss. You haven’t even practiced suturing and knotting well, and you’re thinking about suturing—what’s going on?"
Li Jingsheng said teasingly while eating the meal she specifically brought for him.
"I’ve noticed you’ve become more and more cheeky, can’t you be a bit serious?" Her pretty face blushed slightly. "Then I’ll go to your clinic to practice suturing. I feel I’ve mastered single and continuous sutures! Even Professor Wu praised my improved suturing skills. Isn’t mastering continuous sutures the next step to learning suturing?"
She raised her fist, pretending to punch him.
But Li Jingsheng wasn’t scared at all.
Their relationship had heated up quickly, many intimate acts had already happened, just short of having a baby.
Even that would probably have to wait until they’re married.
"Just because Professor Wu praised you doesn’t mean your suturing skills are outstanding! I think you should still practice a bit more before learning suturing."
Li Jingsheng almost said outright that Professor Wu himself is just so-so in skill.
If he praises your suturing, how good could it be?
Probably just a bit better than the average resident.
Of course, some things shouldn’t be said carelessly.
Otherwise, if they reach Professor Wu’s ears, he’d likely be furious out of embarrassment.
As they chatted, Director Hua walked over with a black bag in hand.
Seeing him changed out of his work clothes, he’s likely about to clock off.
After working hours, many directors have rich nightlife activities.
Pharmaceutical reps or individuals and companies with vested interests often invite them out for meals, relaxation, and entertainment.
