The retractable door outside is closed at night.
Recently, because of the launch of the local convenience medication purchase service, a passage was left open for delivery drivers to ride in.
Li Jingsheng is contemplating that for the clinic’s safety, perhaps he should hire a security guard for 24-hour surveillance.
As the business grows, various expenses naturally increase.
Hiring one more person means paying one more salary and one more social security.
There’s also the cost of uniforms, meals, etc.
"Boss Li, are you in there?"
The voice is cool and clear; it belongs to a young woman, sounding quite composed.
"I’m here!"
Li Jingsheng stands up and walks to the door to check; the visitor has already come in.
"Oh, it’s Boss Ye, please come in and sit!"
To his surprise, the visitor is Boss Ye from Jinkui Clinic.
She’s carrying a plain paper bag printed with Jinkui Clinic’s logo.
"Hello, Boss Li, this must be your wife? Even more beautiful and charming than the rumors!"
She smiles and compliments.
It’s hard to imagine, she’s usually quite aloof, yet she has moments of flattering others.
"Not quite a wife yet; I’ll become one when he marries me someday. For now, I’m just his girlfriend."
Ou Qinglan responds.
"Ha-ha, Boss Li is quite prudent; I guess he wants to earn more money to marry you splendidly. With Sunshine Clinic’s current revenue capacity, your big day should be near. Be sure to invite me for a drink to share your joy."
Boss Ye is indeed experienced.
Her words are calm and grounded.
"We’ll definitely invite all the old friends to join the celebration. Don’t just stand there, have a seat! I only have plain water here, not the fancy teas from your place."
Li Jingsheng personally pours her a glass of water.
"Thank you!" She accepts it gracefully and sits down elegantly. "I’m Ye Luan; the clinic is not far away, so I’m practically your neighbor on this street. Your boyfriend is very capable; I’ve watched him grow his business, and he’s truly outstanding. If you have time, feel free to visit my clinic."
Some things are best left unspoken.
"I honestly didn’t know Ye Hui was your sister until today. She’s quite good in every way, with the heart of a healer, which is rare. As long as she’s willing to work hard, I’ll definitely teach her well."
Li Jingsheng expresses his intent.
The appearance of Boss Ye and Ye Hui differs greatly; they don’t resemble each other.
"She’s good at everything but stubborn. Despite our family’s medical heritage, she insisted on proving herself. I used to worry she might go astray, but now that she’s learning bone setting with you, I’m quite relieved. Also, if your clinic needs any herbal medicines, feel free to send someone over to pick them up. Our Jinkui Clinic has not only Bone Healing Ointment but also effective herbs for abscess draining.
Moreover, if you’re interested, I can even teach you the secret recipe for Beauty Tea."
She offers tangible benefits to ensure Li Jingsheng mentors her sister well.
Beauty Tea is quite popular recently.
Li Jingsheng’s clinic has a high foot traffic and influence, selling Beauty Tea might generate good profit in her view.
"I’m too busy lately; even if you teach me the recipe, I wouldn’t have time. If my girlfriend wants a drink, she’ll just visit your place for a few cups." Li Jingsheng politely declines her offer.
"Ha-ha, your girlfriend is so beautiful she doesn’t need Beauty Tea! The market for Beauty Tea looks quite promising, you might want to keep an eye on this business opportunity. Whenever you need the recipe, I can provide it at any time. It’s not only safe but has detoxifying and beauty-boosting effects. It’s effective for dull complexion and freckles."
She hints at the potential business opportunities of this product.
