Chapter 22: The Boastful Doctor

  It was really unexpected that an unintentional encounter would bring her such a good opportunity, Song Qian knew she would get this care. To a large extent, it was due to others' misunderstanding of her relationship with Han Ankang. But facing this kind of care that every star doesn't want to refuse, Song Qian also didn't want to give up.

  It wasn't until Song Qiancai finally understood the situation that she realized why the company had been taking care of their schedules so thoroughly recently. Even Zheng Xiujing's sister, who was in a senior girl group, couldn't help but feel a little envious when faced with their recent popularity, saying that they were about to be surpassed by their junior counterparts.

  As teammates who spend their days together, Zheng Xiujing and others found Song Qian to be somewhat down in the dumps after returning from the awards ceremony. At first, they thought she might have had a bad experience at the ceremony.

  After a round of acting cute and coy, these teammates who are all younger than Song Qian found out that they would be receiving so many invitations to variety shows and even movies, largely due to the reputation Han An Kang had built up in South Korea. They also marveled at how this seemingly innocent and lovely Korean oppa actually had such a huge influence in South Korea.

  Facing Song Qian's entanglement with others misunderstanding her relationship with Han Ankang, Zheng Xiujing, who has a lively and quirky personality, smiled and said: "Song mom, I think Han OPPA is great! He's a bit small but handsome, and his temperament is good too. His medical skills are also excellent. If you miss out on such a high-quality guy, you'll definitely regret it in the future."

  Besides, we all think that Korean OPPA must have a good impression of you, why not sell some charm and thoroughly conquer Korean OPPA. At that time, the few of us can also follow behind Song's mother to drink some soup, right?

  This crazy teammate, Song Qian, also had a helpless expression on her face. If things were really as simple as she said, that would be great. The main thing is that Song Qian, who has already matured in thought, is very clear that Han Ankang, who has such a noble status in South Korea, is not someone she can casually reach for.

  Although she admitted that she had a good feeling towards Han Ankang, the good feeling did not represent love, and even more so, it did not mean that the two could become lovers. Therefore, after being entangled for a while, Song Qian sent another text message to Han Ankang under the encouragement of her teammates. There were only two words on it, which was "Thank you!"

  Han Ankang, who was about to rest, saw the Huaxia girl he met on the road in South Korea for the first time and felt that she didn't even say goodbye when she returned home last time. Now she sent another confusing text message, so he thought about it and dialed Song Qian's phone number.

  The five women who had been waiting for a reply around their phones saw that the phone suddenly displayed an incoming call, and it was Han Ahn-kang, whom they had discussed for half a day. Zheng Xiujing immediately put on a face of a love expert and said: "Song Ma, I told you he has a good impression of you? You just sent one text message, and Han OPPA called you back, if he didn't have a crush on you, how could he be so enthusiastic?"

  "What are you still dazing about? Hurry up and answer the phone! If you miss out on such a great guy, you'll be crying later and it will be too late!"

  Seeing these girls all with a look of watching the excitement, Song Qian somewhat speechlessly answered the phone, and when she heard the familiar and intimate voice on the other end, Han Ankang, Song Qian found that she once again recalled the kind of extremely shy feeling from back then when he was treating her.

  Jung Joo-young, who could only hear a few words of the conversation in Chinese, shouted into the phone: "Korean oppa, Song mom, speak Korean! We want to listen!"

  Han Ankang, startled by Zheng Xiujing's voice, quickly remembered the owner of this voice and chatted with Song Qian in Korean with a wry smile. It seemed that she also realized that she had been somewhat impolite earlier, and now appeared to be somewhat belatedly aware of it, speaking sweet nothings to Han Ankang on her phone's loudspeaker. This left Han Ankang feeling both amused and exasperated, and he couldn't help but marvel at the cleverness of this girl who was not yet eighteen years old.

  Until the end, Song Qian told him that because of his relationship, she and her group had recently received special treatment from the entertainment industry within the company. She also explained in detail how others mistakenly thought she and Han Ankang were in a romantic relationship.

  After listening to Song Qian's confession, Han Ankang thought that although he didn't have the idea of pursuing Song Qian, thinking that as a Chinese girl, she was struggling in the fiercely competitive entertainment circle in South Korea. With the care of big shots like Cui Zhihao, it would undoubtedly be easier and safer for her to live there.

  "Soon, Song Qian, we are both Chinese people, and it's rare to have the opportunity to meet on a plane. No matter what our relationship is, as friends, as long as my existence can be helpful to you, you don't need to feel too embarrassed. Also, if you encounter any difficulties in South Korea, you can go find Brother Jin or call me, either way is fine. As long as I can help with something, I will definitely do my best!"

  Seeing Han Ankang being so considerate of her feelings, Song Qian also felt that the guilt in her heart had lightened a lot. Soon, Zheng Xiujing and others mentioned that since Chinese New Year was approaching, Song Qian might fly back home to celebrate. They had never experienced how people from China celebrated the new year before, so they wanted to follow along together to experience the atmosphere of Chinese people celebrating Spring Festival.

  And the weirdest Zheng Xiujing even said that she wants to come to Han Ankang's house for Chinese New Year, and asked if he welcomes them. In response, Han Ankang could only say that as long as they don't mind the small place, with such a big yard of his own, he naturally won't worry about not being able to accommodate these few foreign girls.

  After a conversation that lasted for an hour, Han Ankang also felt that chatting with these girls full of youthful energy could alleviate the increasingly aging mood. Thinking of his university classmates who have successively entered the marriage hall, many have become parents. But he didn't even have the experience of holding hands with a girl, which was indeed not the mentality that a 21st-century young person should have!

  Or find a girl to fall in love with, Han Ankang's brain suddenly sprouted this idea, and for some reason, Song Qian's face appeared in his mind. Feeling that he was influenced by Zheng Xiujing and others, Han Ankang quickly removed this idea from his mind, sat on the hard board in the room, and continued to calm his mood with cultivation.

  He absolutely did not expect that what he thought was just Zheng Xiujing and others' joke would actually happen on the Spring Festival a month later. This courtyard, which only patients often set foot in, actually had several young and beautiful foreign girls living in it. And the appearance of these girls also opened the curtain of Han Ankang's legendary doctor.

  When Han Ankang was enjoying the leisurely life of a village doctor, he learned why villagers didn't come to see him for medical treatment. He soon found out that the other village doctors were snatching his business away. In their opinion, although there was no hard and fast rule, the villagers in their village couldn't go to Han Ankang's clinic for medical treatment.

  But this behavior, which is somewhat disrespectful to other doctors, as the income of these village doctors decreases day by day, many people begin to secretly complain to the town and county health departments about Han Ankang's illegal medical practice and arbitrary charging. They hope that through industry rules, Han Ankang will cancel this cross-village treatment method and recover the income that should belong to them.

  At the beginning, the municipal and township health departments did not pay much attention to these letters of complaint. After all, village doctors who have the qualifications to open a clinic are all registered. Han Ankang, as an outstanding graduate of Jilin University's Traditional Chinese Medicine College, refused to accept job offers from hospitals at the municipal and township levels and returned to his village to become a small village doctor, which attracted attention from many health system officials.

  For medical personnel who have made achievements and are willing to take root in rural areas, health system officials naturally still care for them. However, as the letter of accusation began to circulate in other departments, no one dealt with Han Ankang's affairs, but instead publicized Han Ankang's reputation as a divine doctor.

  It wasn't long after that, when Han Ankang was sitting in the village as usual, diagnosing and treating illnesses for the villagers who came to see him. Suddenly, a luxury off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. A young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car and walked up to the door of Han Ankang's clinic, ignoring the objections of the villagers, and quickly pushed open the door and strode in uninvited.

  Han Ankang, who was just about to give acupuncture to the patient in his hand, frowned and said: "Didn't I say that if you want to be treated, please line up? This patient in my hand hasn't been cured yet, how did you barge in? Delaying my needle, if there's a problem, are you responsible?"

  A young man with a proud and arrogant temperament, who was scolded by Han Ankang, looked somewhat gloomy and said: "What's your attitude? Do you think that just because you have some medical skills, you can drive people away at will? I am Zhao Xiangdong from the Municipal Health Bureau's Discipline Inspection Department. This time I came to ask you to go to the provincial city to see a leader for me.

  "If you're not busy, let's go now. You should know that the bureau has received a lot of reports about your cross-border medical practice and arbitrary charging. If you don't want to have your medical license revoked, it's better for you to come with me!"

  At first, I thought this guy was a reckless fellow, and Han Ankang, who felt that he had spoken a bit too sharply, regretted it as soon as he heard Zhao Xiangdong's words. Han Ankang, who was used to being soft but not hard, let the villager lying on the couch wait for a moment.

  Turning back with a calm face, he said: "Sorry, although I'm just a village doctor, I also have my own rules. If you want to ask me to treat the patient, bring the patient over, I don't like to go out for consultations. In addition, I'm not very interested in your identity. If you can produce reasonable evidence to prove that those letters of complaint are true and reliable, then do whatever you want."

  I happen to feel a bit tired lately, so suspending my medical license is just what I need for a break. Sorry, no farewell ceremony for now, as I'm still a doctor and have to attend to my patients."

  As the deputy director of the Health System Discipline Inspection Department, Zhao Xiangdong is a big shot in this health system. Plus, he's from the Zhao family of Ji Province, so it's natural for him to hold such an important position at a young age. He's got reason to be proud and arrogant.

  Unexpectedly, he personally came to invite Han Ankang to see the elderly of that family, but got such treatment. Facing these villagers who knew he wasn't there to see a patient, but to find trouble with Han Ankang, they glared at him angrily, fearing being beaten by these poor rural people, and after saying "You wait and see", he drove away in his off-road vehicle, disappearing from everyone's sight.
