66: Chapter 66 The Struggle for Quota_1 66: Chapter 66 The Struggle for Quota_1 Lu Chuan was stunned, his gaze shifting down to Ning Xin’s delicate hands.

He couldn’t have imagined that these words would come from the mouth of a beautiful heiress like Ning Xin.

But thinking about Ning Xin’s penchant for watching little movies, it wasn’t surprising that she knew of such methods.

Ning Xin hung her head low, her face flushed, both nervous and anticipatory, “Will it work or not?

Can’t this prove my sincerity?”

Lu Chuan cleared his throat twice, “I’ve taken your sincerity to heart, I really haven’t blamed you, it’s getting late, you should hurry home.”

After saying that, he quickly ran to the roadside, hailed a cab, and slipped away.

He always felt that Ning Xin’s offer to make amends was false, and that satisfying her curiosity was the real motive.

A man must protect himself when he’s out and about.

Ning Xin watched as Lu Chuan disappeared in the blink of an eye, disbelief filling her large eyes.

After a long while, she clenched her fists, grinding her teeth as she said, “Bastard, what’s that supposed to mean?

Do you look down on me or are you dissatisfied?

Must it be done in just one step?

Can’t there be a gradual process?

Damn it!”

…

The next day.

Lu Chuan took a taxi to the Medical Bureau to inquire about getting a medical license.

Just as he arrived at the entrance, Lu Chuan saw a familiar face.

Zhou Siming, the chief judge of the previous medicinal material identification competition, came walking over with a girl who had playful twin ponytails.

Lu Chuan quickly went up to greet them, “Old Zhou, I didn’t expect to run into you here, what a coincidence.

Are you also here for something at the Medical Bureau?”

The girl with twin ponytails looked at Lu Chuan with disdain and said, “My grandpa is the head of the Medical Bureau.

He doesn’t have to do anything here, people come to him for favors, you know!”

“Qiqi!” Zhou Siming glared at the girl with twin ponytails, “Don’t be rude!”

Zhou Qiqi seemed unconcerned, “Am I wrong, though?”

Lu Chuan was shocked, not expecting Zhou Siming to have such a position.

He hurriedly said, “Old Zhou, I’m sorry, I thought you were here for something too.”

Zhou Siming smiled and said, “This girl Qiqi, she’s been spoiled since she was young, speaks without thinking.

Don’t take it to heart.”

Lu Chuan smiled back, indicating it was not a problem.

Zhou Siming asked, “What brings you here?”

Lu Chuan answered truthfully, “I wanted to inquire about how to obtain a medical practice license.”

Zhou Qiqi immediately scoffed, “And I thought you were someone big.

Turns out you don’t even have a medical practice license.

Grandpa, why waste time with this kind of guy?

Let him go ask inside.”

Zhou Siming glared at Zhou Qiqi, “Shut your mouth!

You don’t have a medical practice license, do you?”

Zhou Qiqi huffed, “I’m about to have one!”

Ignoring Zhou Qiqi, Zhou Siming turned to Lu Chuan and said, “To obtain a medical practice license, there are two methods.

One is to take part in a unified exam, and after passing, you will be issued the license.

But the exam for this year has already passed, so you probably won’t be able to take it.”

Lu Chuan frowned, that meant he would have to wait another year, by which time it might be too late.

He hurriedly asked, “And the second method?”

Zhou Siming replied, “The second method is that the Medical Bureau reserves a few spots each year to grant medical practice licenses to those who have shown exceptional performance in the medical field, without needing to take the exam.

This year, there’s only one spot left.”

Zhou Qiqi complained, “Grandpa, why are you telling him this?

Didn’t we agree that the last spot is reserved for me?”

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly.

It seemed like he wasn’t going to be able to obtain his medical practice license this year.

What about the clinic?

Should he spend money to hire a few doctors with medical practice licenses to work for him first?

But if he did that, his plan against the Xiao family’s enterprise would be spoiled.

Zhou Siming looked at Zhou Qiqi with irritation, “I said I would reserve this spot for you, but that was based on the premise that you’d perform well.

Have you done that?

Other than angering me, what can you do!”

“And Lu Chuan is a rare talent.

Last time, he won the championship in the medicine identification competition, while you didn’t even dare to participate!”

Zhou Qiqi pouted, “How is he talented?

He looks worse than me.

There’s nothing to brag about for winning some lousy competition.”

Zhou Siming snorted coldly, “With that attitude, I definitely won’t give this spot to you easily!”

He turned to look at Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, rest assured, I am always fair and just, and I won’t favor her just because Zhou Qiqi is my granddaughter.”

“It just so happens that I have to meet some old friends later.

They have obtained a medical canonical text and plan to understand it together.

Both of you come with me and see for yourselves.

Whoever shows higher comprehension, I will give the last spot to.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly clasped his fists, “Thank you, Old Zhou!”

Zhou Qiqi snorted coldly, “This guy is clearly a fool.

What kind of comprehension can he have?

He definitely won’t be able to beat me!”

Zhou Siming glared at her and turned to walk towards the medical office.

Lu Chuan quickly followed.

The three of them arrived at the back courtyard of the medical office.

There was a pond there, with a small pavilion in it, where several elders were sitting.

“Old Zhou, hurry up, will you?

We’re all waiting for you to delve into this medical canonical text, but you’re dilly-dallying,” a plump elder complained.

Zhou Siming said with a smile, “I was delayed on the road because this silly granddaughter of mine upset me, my apologies for being late, everyone, please be patient.”

“Let me introduce you to Lu Chuan.

This is the young man I mentioned before, the champion of the medicine identification competition,” he said.

The elders looked at Lu Chuan and nodded as a greeting.

Zhou Siming then said to Lu Chuan, “These are the Tai Shan Beidou of Cloud City’s traditional medicine circle.”

Lu Chuan greeted each of them in turn.

Zhou Qiqi, with a displeased face, muttered, “How can I be considered silly?

If anyone’s silly, it’s this guy, showing up out of the blue to steal my spot.

That’s shameless!”

Zhou Siming sat down at the table, “Today I’m allowing these two youngsters to witness the medical canonical text, to see what their natural talents for medicine are like.”

“Alright, bring out that canonical text now, I can’t wait any longer.”

The plump elder immediately took out a carefully protected box with great caution.

Lu Chuan moved closer, full of curiosity.

A book considered a medical canonical text by these eminent figures was bound to be extraordinary.

He wondered what it contained.

Zhou Qiqi also widened her eyes and leaned in, seeing that Lu Chuan was closer to the book than she was, she murmured, “Why are you stretching your neck so long?

Even if you stretch it, you won’t understand the medical canonical text.

That spot is definitely mine!”

After saying that, she stretched her neck as well.

The plump elder opened the box, revealing an ancient, thread-bound book that exuded a strong scent of history.

Everyone focused their attention on it.

On the cover of the book, hailed as a medical canonical text, were written bold, vigorous characters: 9th Cycle Return to Origin Needle remnant page!

Lu Chuan was stunned on the spot.
