Chapter 12 : Opening of the Small Clinic

• In a fit of anger, Ye Ming left the hospital directly.
• Although it was Gu Xiaonan who helped him find the job through connections, he really had no choice. The thought of working with people like He Hongtao and Chen Wenbing made him furious.
• As he walked out of the hospital gate, he didn't know where to go. It was truly a pity that he had nowhere to practice his medical skills.
• However, before he had walked a hundred meters, he saw a small advertisement posted on a telephone pole.
• "The clinic is for rent, everything included, affordable price. Contact if interested!"
• Ye Ming paused for a moment and carefully looked at the location of the rented clinic. Wasn't it near the hospital?
• Without hesitation, he found the clinic. The storefront was still open, but it was very deserted.
• He walked in and saw a middle-aged man who appeared to be around forty years old working as a doctor in the clinic.
• When the middle-aged man saw Ye Ming, he asked indifferently, "Young man, if you're sick, go to the hospital next door. I don't see patients here anymore."
• Ye Ming said, "I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to rent the place."
• "You want to rent this clinic?" The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised.
• "Yes." Ye Ming had already made up his mind to open his own clinic here.
• Those doctors at the hospital were so arrogant, he wanted to compete with them for business.
• The middle-aged man nodded. "Alright, three months' rent as deposit, three thousand yuan per month, the deposit is equal to one month's rent, totaling twelve thousand yuan."
• Ye Ming asked, "Can I rent month by month?"
• "No, we don't have that rule. Look, the location here is good, right next to the hospital. There's always a lot of foot traffic, whether you want to do business or continue running a clinic, it's very convenient." The middle-aged man explained.
• Ye Ming waved his hand. "In that case, I'm sorry, I won't rent it."
• He had already noticed that this clinic had been vacant for a long time. The advertisement on the telephone pole had turned yellow, and the clinic was covered in dust. He wanted to test if the other party would stop him.
• "Alright, alright, month by month is fine."
• The middle-aged man couldn't hold back after all this time. Ye Ming was the first person willing to rent his place.
• So Ye Ming signed the contract and paid one month's rent.
• "If I can't make it in the hospital, it shouldn't be a problem to open my own clinic." He murmured.
• This storefront was originally a clinic, so it didn't need any renovations. However, there was no Chinese medicine, so he needed to buy some. In the afternoon, he would find someone to make a sign, and then go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register. That would settle everything.
• He got busy right away, and the day quickly passed.
• When he returned to Gu Xiaonan's house in the evening, she was already sitting on the sofa watching TV.
• Ye Ming was a bit surprised. Gu Xiaonan was always busy, but after a month, she could still watch TV in the living room. It was the first time he had seen this.
• "You're back?" Gu Xiaonan said coldly.
• Ye Ming couldn't help but feel a chill.
• "Yeah, I'm back."
• "How's the hospital?"
• "It's alright, pretty good."
• Ye Ming wanted to say a few casual words to brush it off.
• "Pretty good? You think being kicked out is pretty good?" Gu Xiaonan snorted.
• Ye Ming was taken aback. He didn't expect her to already know, but thinking about it, she was the vice president of Yunyang Group, so she could easily find out.
• "This is a long story..."
• "What long story? Ye Ming, I helped you find that job through connections, and this is how you treat it? You just leave without any hesitation? Don't you know that everyone encounters difficulties at work? Can't you try to overcome them and adapt?
• I thought you weren't the type to be lazy and could make something of yourself. It seems I was wrong. If you want to stay at home all day, then stay at home. We have no relationship. After a few months, we'll go our separate ways. I won't care what you want to do."
• Gu Xiaonan's words were filled with anger. She was also disappointed because she didn't know how Ye Ming was kicked out.
• The hospital director only said that he was scolded by the director of the Chinese Medicine Department, and Ye Ming left.
• So she was very disappointed. In this society, if you can't even handle a little grievance, how can you achieve anything?
• Ye Ming furrowed his brows slightly. She didn't even understand the situation clearly and was already judging him. He was also a bit angry.
• But then he thought that maybe she was just worried about him.
• So he let go of most of his anger.
• "Don't worry, I will go back to that hospital. And I will make them invite me back."
• Gu Xiaonan was stunned. She didn't expect him to say such a serious thing as a joke. It sounded like he was serious.
• "I hate people who make big promises." She shook her head, feeling even more disappointed, got up and went back to her room, closing the door.
• "Just wait, I will make you see me in a new light." Ye Ming murmured.
• ...
• The next morning, Ye Ming left his room early and went to the clinic.
• He took care of the Chinese medicine and made a simple sign that read "Xiao Ming Clinic," which he had someone hang above the storefront.
• As for flower baskets, he bought a few and placed them at the entrance. That would be considered the opening.
• By chance, Chen Wenbing and Li Hao were chatting and happened to pass by the Xiao Ming Clinic.
• "They're opening a clinic here? It's really hilarious. The hospital is right next door, can a clinic really succeed?" Li Hao said.
• Chen Wenbing sneered.
• "It used to be a clinic called Da Bing Clinic, but it didn't have any business. I didn't expect it to be transferred and renamed 'Xiao Ming Clinic.' It's truly humorous."
• As they were talking, they happened to see Ye Ming standing at the entrance of the clinic, and they were both stunned.
• "Isn't that the janitor from our office yesterday?" Li Hao said in surprise.
• "It's him?" Chen Wenbing frowned. The thought of being slapped in the face by him yesterday made him furious.
• "It's strange. A janitor opening a clinic at the hospital entrance. Is this guy crazy?" Li Hao laughed.
• "He is indeed crazy, and it's a big problem!" Chen Wenbing also sneered.
• He suddenly thought of a way to deal with Ye Ming, so he said to Li Hao, "You go to work first, I'll go inside the clinic and take a look."
• Although Li Hao didn't know what he was planning to do, he nodded and left.
• Chen Wenbing walked into the clinic and saw Ye Ming cleaning. He sarcastically said, "Janitor, couldn't you just be a good janitor? Why do you have to be a doctor? Do you think you can be a good doctor just by knowing a little bit?"
• Ye Ming calmly replied, "Being a good doctor is indeed not easy. After all, there are people who have been doctors for over twenty years and they're not good people."
• "You..." Chen Wenbing became angry. He could tell that Ye Ming was mocking him.
• Just then, an elderly woman in her sixties entered the clinic. She looked at Ye Ming and Chen Wenbing and asked, "Doctors, since your new clinic is opening, do you offer any discounts for medical treatment?"
• ...
