Before Fang Qingyou could say anything, the man waved the gleaming one tael of silver in his hand and said with a smile, "Young lady, you must think I'm quite good, which is why you gave me this one tael of silver? This is your deposit for hiring me, right? So when can I start working at the clinic?"

Fang Qingyou stared at the man in disbelief, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Yes, Fang Qingyou was stunned.

What exactly is this person here for? One minute he was pretending to be sick and asking her to give him a free medical consultation, and now he wants to be his subordinate?

Regardless of the reason, Fang Qingyou didn't want to say anything more to him. She was subconsciously very wary of him, wondering who he was and who had sent him to harm her.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou realized that the man's voice was full of energy and his breathing was steady and powerful, clearly indicating that he was a strong and healthy man, not an old man.

His previous aging and weakness were all deliberately feigned.

Fang Qingyou said coldly, "Uncle, you've misunderstood. This tael of silver isn't a deposit for hiring you, but rather a treat for you to dinner."

The man said incredulously, "Young lady, how can you not hire me? Do you know that I am a renowned divine doctor? Young lady, do you know that many people have offered me mountains of gold, but I haven't even glanced at them? You must keep your eyes open and not act impulsively, lest you miss this golden opportunity."

As he spoke, the man patted his filthy chest forcefully and chuckled, "Little girl, how about it? Do I look like a divine healer?"

Instantly, a cloud of dark, dirty ash was patted off his body and spread around like black mist.

At the same time, the pungent stench in the air became even stronger and more nauseating.

The smell nearly choked Fang Qingyou to death; she frowned and quickly jumped back a few steps.

If this person is her patient, she won't mind how dirty or smelly he is.

But if this person has ulterior motives, she doesn't want to see him for even a minute.

“Uncle, since you have such skills and want to practice medicine, please go to another clinic. They will surely treat you like royalty, while my clinic is too small to accommodate such a great person as you.”

No matter how confident the man spoke, Fang Qingyou still wouldn't believe him; her wariness only intensified.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's reaction, the man took a few more steps and approached her expectantly, saying, "Young lady, why don't you think about it some more?"

Fang Qingyou firmly shook her head: "No need to consider it, uncle. Please go somewhere else."

After what seemed like careful consideration, the man turned to Fang Qingyou and said, "Young lady, I think you should hire me. As long as you provide me with food and drink, I won't ask for a single penny in dowry. Is that alright? What do you say? Are you tempted?"

As he spoke, the man even winked at Fang Qingyou.

His disheveled appearance, coupled with the particularly lewd smile on his face, made him look exactly like a bad uncle who was about to kidnap an innocent young girl, which startled Fang Qingyou so much that her eyes twitched violently.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou really regretted letting Chen Zhongjie busy himself with the recruitment notices; otherwise, she wouldn't be so isolated and helpless right now.

Of course, Fang Qingyou wasn't really afraid. If this uncle really had any bad intentions, she could take care of him with a single poisoned needle.

However, she was unwilling to do this unless absolutely necessary.

"Uncle, please stop talking. My mind is made up. Please leave."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou quickly ran to the door, opened it, and made a gesture of seeing the guest off, wanting to get rid of this uninvited guest immediately.

If he keeps dawdling here, she's probably going to go crazy.

However, the man still stayed there and refused to leave.

Fang Qingyou finally turned cold and threatened, "Uncle, if you don't leave, I'm going to report you to the authorities."

At this point, the man was finally intimidated and left reluctantly.

However, he kept turning back to look at himself, appearing quite reluctant to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Fang Qingyou one more time: "Young lady, think it over carefully. I'll come back to see you another day."

"Bang—" Before the man could finish speaking, Fang Qingyou quickly slammed the clinic door shut.

"Hoo—" Fang Qingyou took a deep breath, but the lingering smell in her mouth and nose almost made her vomit.

Fang Qingyou quickly left the area and went to the courtyard to breathe some fresh air.

Fang Qingyou was unaware that the uncle she had chased outside no longer had that lewd smile on his face.

At this moment, his gaze was like a spring, clear yet profound, clearly indicating that he was no ordinary person.

Even now, dressed in rags and filth, he wouldn't be mistaken for a beggar.

Looking at the closed doors of Cheng'an Medical Clinic, his eyes held a gratified smile, and a satisfied smile curved his lips, making him look like a kind elder who was very pleased with his juniors.

Fang Qingyou was unaware of the uncle's change. After calming down, she began her plan to purchase medicinal herbs.

……

After the free clinic concluded, Cheng'an Medical Clinic officially opened.

As Fang Qingyou had predicted, quite a few people did come to the clinic every day.

Because of his reputation, Dr. Zhao has many patients who come to see him.

Thanks to the three-day free clinic, Dr. Sun and Dr. Chen Zhongjie have also gained the trust of some patients.

Chen Zhongjie was busy managing medicinal herbs, treating patients, and recruiting staff. He was always on the go, but his eyes were always shining with enthusiasm.

The clinic was exceptionally busy throughout the day, but thanks to thorough preparation, everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon, just as the clinic was about to close, Fang Qingyou welcomed a guest.

Fang Qingyou recognized the guest as Luo Qianhao's attendant, Qianzhu, and politely welcomed him in: "Lord Zhu, please."

“Miss Fang, there’s no need to be so polite. I’ve come here on the orders of my Highness to inform you of the outcome of that case.”

After Qianzhu finished explaining the case, he was about to leave, and Fang Qingyou politely saw him off.

The case was closed, but Fang Qingyou was not happy at all because she felt that the outcome of the case was not the truth.

Just as Fang Qingyou was frowning, someone patted her on the shoulder.

Fang Qingyou turned her head and saw a smiling face at her. She couldn't help but glare at her: "Miss She, aren't you afraid of scaring me sick by being so frightening?"

Yes, the person who came was She Yuyan.
