Chapter 8 Physiotherapy Clinic
Considering that replacing Li Zongwei still needs some medicine, Han Ankang didn't replace him for treatment immediately. Anyway, he had to stay in South Korea for a while. With him by his side, this guy wanted to indulge himself and consider the consequences of being reported by him. For things he thought were right, Han Ankang was still quite insistent.
Accompanying Li's parents to have a good chat and feeling refreshed, they talked until 10 pm. Knowing that the couple had things to do the next day, Han Ankang took the initiative to end the conversation for the night. Under Li Zongwei's lead, he arrived at the guest room arranged by the Li family for him.
In response to Lee Chong Wei's suggestion that they could share a bed at night and tell each other about the hardships of their long separation, Han Aiping bluntly rejected him.
When he was lying in bed after taking a bath, he suddenly heard the sound of a text message from his mobile phone. He thought it was another advertisement and picked up the phone to take a look. It turned out to be the girl he met on the plane, asking if he had met with friends.
Han Ankang quickly wrote a reply and sent it back, also writing down the address of Li's house, telling the girl that if she wanted to be cured, she could come to this place to find him.
Song Qian, who received the address, didn't know why she would take the initiative to send a text message so late to a boy she had just met. But when she saw the address on the text message, she knew that anyone who could live in this neighborhood was not an ordinary person, but rather someone with some wealth. Therefore, she was also curious whether this boy, who introduced himself as a rural doctor, really had such wealthy friends in Korea?
Just as Song Qian was staring at the address on her phone, Zheng Xiujing, who belonged to the same group as her, suddenly stretched out her head and took a look at the information on Song Qian's phone. Although she didn't recognize it because it was in Chinese, she joked: "Song Mama, are you thinking of your boyfriend?"
As the oldest in the group, Song Qian is undoubtedly also the one that her teammates think is most likely to be in a romantic relationship. To the point where these privately close team sisters, whether there's something going on or not, always use this topic to tease Song Qian.
Song Qian, who was teased by Zheng Xiujing, thought about her behavior earlier and indeed felt a bit like a girl in love, and her face turned slightly red as she said: "Shut up, you silly girl!"
Zheng Xiujing, who rarely sees Song Qian blush, suddenly exclaimed like discovering a new continent when she realized the shyness in Song Qian's words: "Sisters, come quickly, Song Mom is thinking of men!"
A very bold sentence made Song Qian laugh and cry at the same time, and the other three teammates rushed over to hear the sound. Seeing the captain's face turn red like a girl, they naturally joined in on the teasing. Until Song Qian confessed about what happened with Bai Tianfei during the day, these girls who also liked to gossip about men in private...
Soon, based on Song Qian's information, he guessed the true identity of Han Ankang. If at this time, entering the dream of Han Ankang, knowing that on his first day in South Korea, he became the subject of discussion for a girl group, I don't know what thoughts he would have.
Han Ankang, who had a good sleep for the first time in a long while, got up the next day to find that Li Zongwei's parents were already up and about, with his mother even having prepared breakfast for them. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Han Ankang dragged Li Zongwei out of bed and after finishing breakfast, followed him to the health therapy centre where he worked.
This time, Li Zongwei called Han Ankang to South Korea, although he claimed that it was an excuse for him to help, but in fact, he thought of Han Ankang's possession of a skill that made him admire and admire acupuncture and massage. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who know these two medical skills are very popular in the current South Korean therapy industry. Of course, in the eyes of these Koreans, such traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are also called Korean medicine practitioners.
The reason is probably clear to every Chinese person, it's just that South Koreans like to put their name on things that belong to others. As for the dispute between traditional Chinese medicine and Korean medicine, in today's situation where traditional Chinese medicine is being neglected, it's indeed heartbreaking for a true traditional Chinese medicine practitioner like Han An-kang.
But for Han Ankang, this kind of nominal dispute is far less enjoyable than seeing the truth in medical skills. So when Li Zongwei told him that there were also Korean doctors specializing in acupuncture and massage at the physical therapy clinic where he worked, he was eager to see what differences there were between Korean medicine, which evolved from traditional Chinese medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine itself.
Following Lee Jong-woo to this therapy center located in Gangnam, Seoul, the main customers of this therapy center are artists and upper-class people who need it. This kind of therapy starts at 100,000 won, if you don't have some money in your pocket, I guess you wouldn't dare to come in for therapy casually.
Physiotherapy clinics differ from general hospital treatments, in that doctors here mostly use physical therapy methods such as acupuncture and massage to help customers resolve stress or discomfort brought about by daily work. This discomfort often refers more to the mental aspect rather than any physical problems.
These days, the rich and celebrities all emphasize health, so Lee Chong Wei's workplace, this physiotherapy center, is usually quite busy. The people coming in and out are mostly well-known artists from nearby or upper-class wealthy individuals who have time to adjust their physical and mental health. Ordinary salaried Koreans can't afford to spend such a high fee to come here for some simple stress relief and fatigue alleviation physiotherapy.
Although Lee Chong Wei appeared to be nonchalant in front of Han An Kang, once he entered the clinic, he became exceptionally serious. Those who didn't know him well would really think that he was a high-class physiotherapist with great demeanor and quality.
Looking at Li Zongwei, who was dressed up and looked serious as he entered the clinic, Han Ankang couldn't help but say that this guy's pretentious appearance really had a certain charm. Except for his lecherous gaze at those beautiful female receptionists, everything else seemed to show Han Ankang a completely different side of him from when he was working.
Although Li Zongwei has only been working here for less than a year, he learned the good massage skills from Han Ankang when he was in school. Although he only mastered 70-80% of the skills, there are still many customers booking his therapy sessions in this clinic.
Who would have thought that this guy almost failed his graduation exam in school, but he's making a name for himself with the traditional massage techniques he learned from me in this foreign land. Han Ankang also knew that if he was willing to stay and work here, his income and life would be much better than being a rural doctor.
He was used to a free and easy life since childhood, so he didn't like the idea of being constrained by others. Therefore, this 9-to-5 job wasn't his cup of tea. Plus, he had just received the medical legacy from the Medical Door Sect recently, so even with a high salary, he wouldn't stay in this kind of closed-door and unchallenging work.
Considering Han Ankang is not a formal employee of the club, if he comes to the clinic for observation and learning, he still needs to greet the boss. After arriving at his own office, Li Zongwei also made a phone call to the president of the clinic, mentioning Han Ankang's situation to this president who valued him highly.
When he learned that Han Ankang was a true Chinese medicine inheritor, the president naturally would not refuse Li Zongwei's request and told him that as long as the customer is willing to accept Han Ankang's service, he will also not refuse Han Ankang's visit and study.
Having obtained the president's consent, Li Zongwei took a look at the appointment list sent over by the front desk and smiled at Han Ankang: "Brother, your luck is not bad today. A star friend of mine who I have a good relationship with will be coming to the club for a massage therapy session later. At that time, I'll introduce you to him. If you can get his autograph, it'll be worth bragging about when you return home."
The annoyed white guy shot back, "Do you think everyone is like you, always having celebrities on their lips? To me, there are only two kinds of people: those who are physically healthy and those who are not. Are celebrities not human beings?"
"Alright, I just took a look at the services offered by your clinic and it seems like most of them are just some common traditional Chinese medicine physical therapies. With these kinds of things, you can probably find an old TCM doctor domestically who can open this kind of clinic?"
Li Zongwei knew that this kind of therapy, although the propaganda said it was very mysterious, but in the eyes of insiders. It's nothing more than acupuncture plus massage, with some auxiliary equipment maintenance, and there really isn't much technical content.
He couldn't help but say, "How is it that everything you say sounds so off? Your words may be right, but you have to understand, if the boss of this place didn't have some connections, do you think those rich people and celebrities would dare to come in here for treatment?"
To put it bluntly, people doing business in that country are all the same, they all need to have connections. The president and shareholders of this club where I work have connections with both the underworld and the legitimate business world in this commercial district. Celebrities and rich people come here for treatment without worrying about their privacy being leaked, this is the real reason why opening a clinic like this can make money, get it?
After listening to Li Zongwei's introduction, Han Ankang didn't respond with "understood" or "not understood", but instead picked up a Korean book introducing physical therapy, found a chair in Li Zongwei's office and quietly started reading.
Although it's a bit difficult to read this Korean-written book, Han Ankang, who has learned some Korean, can still understand some of the recommended acupuncture techniques and medicinal incense content. Anyway, he doesn't have much to do now, so using this book to pass the time is also a good choice.
Looking at Han Ankang, who had fallen into a bookworm state again, Li Zongwei wisely did not disturb him. Because from his understanding of Han Ankang, when he was reading, he was most afraid of being disturbed by others, just like the nickname "Wei Ge" that others called him. Therefore, Li Zongwei, who happened to have some client files to sort out, also returned to his own desk and focused on handling work matters.
It wasn't until the phone rang at the front desk, telling him that the guest had arrived at the massage room, that Li Zongwei interrupted Han Ankang's reading and the two went to the massage room together to see this South Korean celebrity that Li Zongwei had been boasting about for half a day. Who could this person be?
