Chapter 237 -237 Homecoming (Extra for monthly pass)
At noon, Jiang Zhiguo and Jiang Shaoqing specifically sought out Bai Xiao. They informed her that they had arranged for her to take the afternoon flight. It wasn’t that the Jiang Family couldn’t do it, but Principal Jiang indeed hadn’t initially intended to, yet seeing all that Bai Xiao had done, they actually felt embarrassed to hold her back.
Therefore, after a round of thanks, Jiang Shaoqing personally saw Bai Xiao onto the plane. Bai Xiao and Xiaoli were somewhat resigned, as it seemed their dream of touring the capital had been dashed.
However, once at the airport, Bai Xiao found out that Jiang Shaoqing had prepared a whopping five large boxes of gifts for her on the plane, and had also assigned an assistant to take care of her throughout the flight. After landing, the Jiang Family had also arranged for someone to escort Bai Xiao back to the hospital, ensuring meticulous arrangements throughout the journey.
Bai Xiao bid farewell to Jiang Shaoqing, who even left her his personal phone number, a treatment far from ordinary. Everyone knew that Jiang Shaoqing was now the successor to the Jiang Family’s business empire. This number signified that it was not the type to go through a secretary for transfers but was instead Jiang Shaoqing’s private number. Of course, there were no mobile phones yet, so having a landline number was already very impressive.
Of course, the phone number mattered the most to Bai Xiao. Jiang Shaoqing was the key to cutting off the puppeteer behind the scenes. Naturally, she wouldn’t let Jiang Shaoqing suffer a loss. The debt of collecting her corpse in her past life must definitely be repaid.
Jiang Shaoqing watched Bai Xiao’s graceful figure board the plane and stared until the aircraft took off and disappeared into the sky before he left. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
As of last night, Jiang Zhiguo’s desk already had Bai Xiao’s resume on it. This girl seemed unremarkable on the surface; she was indeed the adopted daughter of a pair of barefoot doctors with some fame in a village. This couple had passed away early, leaving a son and two daughters struggling to bring up their younger sister. It’s said that the affections among the four siblings were particularly deep. Bai Xiao had been admitted to Aviation University.
His uncle was shocked when he saw this resume. How could he be unaware that Bai Xiao was a student of Aviation University? Moreover, how could a student from Aviation University end up working as a doctor in a hospital?
Who had poached her midway?
Such a talent, if placed in their Aviation University, might not be able to fly to the skies, but Aviation University also had its own affiliated hospital. How could they not accommodate a Bai Xiao?
Jiang Zhicheng was livid.
Because upon inquiring, he found out that she had been poached by none other than King Yama himself.
The Demon Lord of Mayhem just happened to meet her at a car accident, then snatched her away for his own department in the hospital. It didn’t need saying; he understood that they would certainly arrange for this girl to take various advanced courses. After that, she would make a trip to Medical University and upon return, her career credentials would get a significant upgrade, and their hospital would gain a famous acupuncture specialist.
This bastard had not even allowed them a chance to welcome her at Aviation University’s door.
What pained him more was the loss of such a talent.
If she had come to their Aviation University, she would have been a rising star for sure.
Bai Xiao’s experience and knowledge were very much aligned with what she had claimed. Acupuncture was indeed a family heirloom, seemingly taught by that couple. It was unexpected that the couple, who weren’t widely known, were now brought to glory by an adopted daughter.
Jiang Zhiguo and Jiang Shaoqing were clear that Bai Xiao was talented. It was said this was merely her modest foundations, and if she were to master her skills in the future, she would possess the ability to bring the dead back to life and turn bones to white. They were not ignorant of the historic recorded National Medical Sages who were truly formidable. The profound depth and heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine were not something they could easily comprehend. Since Bai Xiao had formed such a relationship with their family, they would also maintain this connection. After all, with such a National Medical Sage around, many complex and difficult diseases might indeed require her help.
Everyone fears birth, aging, sickness, and death, Jiang Zhiguo was well aware that making friends with such a person was a necessary investment.
Their family wouldn’t be stingy about such an expenditure, nor would they mind it. As it seemed now, Bai Xiao had no background of her own, at most an unmarried fiancé, An Zhiyuan, from the An Family. People from the An Family were not to be trifled with, especially Wei Shufen, An Zhiyuan’s stepmother. With such a stepmother around, whether An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao could actually get married was still an unknown.
Bai Xiao probably needed a lot of help.
The Jiang Family was quite willing to offer assistance.
Bai Xiao and Xiaoli returned to the provincial capital, and as soon as they got off the plane, a van took them back. Staff members specifically moved Bai Xiao’s five suitcases to her dormitory, settled everything, then left, and enthusiastically let her know that if she needed anything, just to give his assistant a call.
Of course, Bai Xiao understood this was arranged by Jiang Shaoqing, otherwise why would an assistant exchange favors with a young junior doctor?
After seeing off the assistant, Xiaoli also took her leave, not having been back for several days, she needed to go and wash clothes and tidy up the dormitory.
Xiaoli was indeed very perceptive.
After sending everyone off, Bai Xiao finally collapsed on the sofa. Having run back and forth without stopping for two days proved to be worthwhile.
She never mentioned a consultation fee, because she understood that, just like the Wang Family, such a favor was more important. Although as a military officer she wasn’t allowed to do business or have any under-the-table income, she wasn’t planning on embarking on a path as a business magnate. So, as long as she could improve her family’s living conditions and have no worries about food and clothing for herself, nothing else was that important.
Material life can ultimately change, and you should know that the less you talk about money, the more mysterious and virtuous you seem. People will be willing to offer gifts voluntarily, which is far more sincere and generous than if you were to ask for them.
True masters do not talk about money.
For a family like the Jiangs, discussing remuneration would be too vulgar, and whatever price you set will always be ridiculed: too high would seem greedy, too low would appear to undervalue Old Master Jiang. So, either way, it wouldn’t be right, not appropriate. The best way is to not want it at all.
When it comes to the Jiangs, Bai Xiao might not understand others, but as for Jiang Shaoqing, money had never been an issue. Since she saved his wife, he was willing to give up fifteen percent of the Jiang’s shares. Back then, the Jiangs were already one of Asia’s wealthiest, with fifteen percent equating to almost several billion in U.S. dollars. He didn’t bat an eye at that price and still treated his lifesaver with utmost sincerity.
Such a generous person wouldn’t quibble over money.
So she didn’t refuse the five suitcases because there was no need to. It wasn’t compensation from them; in plain terms, it was just a little thought, a gift.
If it were truly about gratitude, they wouldn’t have left without saying anything. Jiang Shaoqing had style in the way he handled things.
She managed to establish a connection with Jiang Shaoqing successfully.
Maybe everything was already beginning to change, different from her previous life. She had already started building her network early on, and one day, she was determined to make that person pay the price—they always had to pay back what they owed.
