Chapter 100: Candlelight dinner

Time passed quickly.

A full month had passed since the day "Xiaoman Medical Clinic" opened.

For the past month, the clinic had been running very smoothly. Every morning, Su Yichen finished the 6 appointments she put on the system the day before, basically spending only one or two hours, at most no more than three hours, so the clinic was only open for one morning every day and closed in the afternoon.

With this work intensity, Su Yichen couldn't get tired at all...

Not only could she not get tired, she had nothing to do every afternoon. Several times, she was even bored enough to help the cleaning lady clean the clinic...

How could the cleaning lady let Dr. Shen do this kind of work herself! She was her boss and had to pay her salary.

As for the patients, there were quite a few complaints, but none of them were complaining that Dr. Shen's medical skills were not good, or that the clinic's service was not good, or that the consultation fee was too expensive...

Everyone was only dissatisfied with one thing: Dr. Shen only released too few appointments every day!

How could a clinic only see 6 patients a day!

Even if Xiaoman Medical Clinic only had one doctor, Dr. Shen, it couldn't only see 6 patients a day! Which doctor in any hospital didn't see thirty or forty, or even fifty or sixty patients a day!

The patients had also reflected this to Dr. Shen.

Saying that her medical skills were superb and everyone was very satisfied with her consultation, but could she release a few more appointments every day? Or... in addition to appointments, add some offline emergency outpatient services?

However, Dr. Shen just smiled faintly, "This matter... let's talk about it later..."

Later?!

That is to say, there was still hope for this matter!

As a result, there were more voices urging Dr. Shen to add appointments, and almost every patient would mention it after seeing the doctor. Over time, Su Yichen became numb.

Because this matter was not something she could decide, her brother would definitely not agree... However, there was one thing in front of her that she had to solve first, and that was that the payday was coming soon, and she had to ask her brother for money first!

Who told him to say that he would be responsible for the profit and loss of Xiaoman Medical Clinic!

Now, only letting her see 6 patients a day, how could it be profitable!

Su Yichen took the account book and calculated for an afternoon in the office. Finally, she calculated that in the past month, the clinic had lost... 120,000.

This 120,000 was not a small amount for Su Yichen. More accurately, she couldn't even take out a penny now. For the past three years, she had been lying in a hospital bed, relying on the Qin family to support her, so where would she get money!

So... this money still had to be asked from Qin Hao Bei.

The day before payday happened to be a weekend. Su Yichen closed the clinic early and was thinking about how to tell Qin Hao Bei about this when her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated "buzz buzz buzz".

Su Yichen took the phone and saw it was a call from Mother Qin.

"Hello, Godmother."

"Xing'er, today happens to be the weekend. Your Godfather and I are taking Xiao Shiliu to stay at the seaside villa for one night. Xiao Shiliu is clamoring to play in the water, so you and Xiao Bei stay at home and watch the house tonight!"

The Qin family had a seaside villa in the Lingang District of Lanwan. Father Qin and Mother Qin would live there every summer to escape the heat. After Xiao Shiliu came, the old couple often took Xiao Shiliu to the seaside for vacations and play. This was not the first time.

"Mm, I know, Godmother, you guys be safe! Also, you and Godfather don't always carry Xiao Shiliu, the child is heavy now, let him play by himself!" Su Yichen said worriedly.

"Don't worry! Xiao Shiliu is sensible now and doesn't let us carry him! By the way, we won't be home tonight, you and Xiao Bei just order takeout for dinner!" Mother Qin instructed earnestly.

"Mm, I know, Godmother."

Hanging up the phone, Su Yichen looked at the clock on the wall, it was exactly 5 PM. She lowered her head and thought, her brother had been training all day, she couldn't let her brother eat takeout, and besides... she happened to have something to ask him today, so why not cook for him and make him a big meal!

Su Yichen first called Qin Hao Bei to confirm that he would be home at 8 PM.

Immediately after, she took a taxi straight to the vegetable market.

She had checked the recipes online in advance, bought beef, ribs, etc., some fresh vegetables and fruits, and a bottle of 20-year-old Italian red wine.

As soon as she got home, she plunged into the kitchen and got busy.

At 8:30 PM, a black Wrangler off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Qin family villa, and Qin Hao Bei walked out of the car.

With a "creak", he pushed open the door, but didn't see his familiar parents or Xiao Shiliu. The chandelier in the living room was not turned on, and several exquisitely shaped candles were placed on the table, emitting a warm yellow light.

"Dad, Mom?"

Qin Hao Bei called out a few times, "I'm back."

"Brother, you're back!"

Just then, she saw Xing'er walk out of the kitchen. She was still wearing an apron, her black hair coiled behind her head, revealing her slender and fair neck, and a layer of transparent sweat seeping from her forehead.

"Godfather and Godmother took Xiao Shiliu to stay at the seaside villa today, so we are watching the house. It just so happened I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I made a meal."

Qin Hao Bei was too surprised to speak, "You... you cooked?!"

This was not the first time Su Yichen cooked. Qin Hao Bei remembered the last time was three years ago, when they were still at the nursing home. Xing'er wanted to cook some noodles herself, but ended up almost burning through the bottom of the pot, triggering the fire alarm for the entire nursing home.

At that time, the 119 fire truck was dispatched, and the entire nursing home issued a first-level alert...

Su Yichen saw Qin Hao Bei's expression and knew what he was thinking. She smiled and said: "Brother, you're still thinking about what happened three years ago! That time was really just an accident, I cook very well! The dishes are already cooked, hurry up and change your clothes, then come down to eat!"

Qin Hao Bei nodded skeptically, "Okay."

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Hao Bei walked down from upstairs. He had just taken a shower and changed into a clean white T-shirt and a pair of simple khaki shorts. This outfit didn't look like a special forces soldier, but rather like a spirited college student.

Su Yichen had also neatly arranged four dishes and one soup on the table.

Pan-fried steak, spicy diced chicken, sweet lotus root with osmanthus, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a matsutake chicken soup.

"Brother, I'm allergic to seafood, so I'm not very good at cooking seafood, so I made some simple home-cooked dishes, just make do with it."

Su Yichen said, and took two exquisite glass wine glasses, filled them with red wine, and a somewhat proud smile curled up at the corner of her mouth:

"I also bought a bottle of red wine, Brother, I'll have a drink with you today! Let's get drunk together!" ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
