Chapter 367: Chapter 325: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 2_1

"Alright, alright, change of scenery." Seeing that her mind was made up, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh, no longer trying to persuade her, but rather formally spoke, "Comrade Tao Tao, I now formally notify you that you have been hired by Giant Star Entertainment Company."

Yes, Giant Star Entertainment was the company Xia Ningxing had registered.

"Giant Star Entertainment Company? Sounds so impressive!" Tao Tao’s eyes widened, she hadn’t expected her company to have such a high-profile name.

"It will become very impressive in the future!" Xia Ningxing confidently declared.

"I believe it!" Tao Tao nodded fervently, like a little fan, then, as if thinking of something, her voice choked up, "Thank you, Xiaxia, for giving me a job."

"I will surely clean the company spotlessly every day, so everyone can have a comfortable environment!"

Hearing this, Xia Ningxing rolled her eyes, "Clean what? Who said I’m hiring you to clean?"

"Then what else can I do?" Tao Tao scratched the back of her head, truly at a loss. Her company was an entertainment one, and she knew absolutely nothing about acting.

"Become a dance artist!" replied Xia Ningxing.

Upon hearing this, Tao Tao was completely dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning in shock and disbelief.

"How could I become an artist!"

"Why couldn’t you?" Xia Ningxing rolled her eyes at her again, finding the girl far too modest.

"I’ve seen you dance, and you are extremely talented. If you would commit to practicing diligently, you will certainly achieve great things. So, once you’ve fully recovered, I will find a top dance teacher to guide you. Just dance well, and strive to become a top dance artist nationally and even internationally!"

International?

Tao Tao swallowed apprehensively.

This felt incredibly far-fetched.

"Will I still have time to take care of my child?" Tao Tao couldn’t help but ask.

In truth, she was more concerned about her child than any fame or honor.

Xia Ningxing had naturally considered this, "Don’t worry, I won’t schedule too much training for you in the first few years. Once the child can go to school, we’ll increase the training."

"Alright, Xiaxia, rest assured I will try my best!" With her last bit of worry gone, Tao Tao suddenly felt full of energy and looked forward to life with longing and anticipation.

Xiaxia was so devoted to helping her; how could she not repay her with equal dedication!

She, Tao Tao, vowed to make a name for herself and bring honor and glory to Xiaxia’s company!!

"Miss Xia..." Seeing that the two had finally finished their conversation, Dean Lu silently emerged from the sidelines, a smile on his squarish face.

Xia Ningxing paused, frowned, and looked at him, "When did you get here?"

How had she not heard a thing?

Dean Lu’s smile froze, not expecting himself to have such an unnoticed presence.

"I’ve been here the whole time," he said weakly.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

"So, did you need something?" Xia Ningxing put on a smile and asked.

For this dean, Xia Ningxing was genuinely grateful. If not for his rule-breaking decision to let her enter the operating room and assist in detoxifying Tao Tao, Tao Tao might have lost her life long ago.

He also found someone to quickly help them test the contents of the lunch box.

Of course, Xia Ningxing was well aware that the dean did so because he must have needed her help with something.

If it was within her capabilities, she would assist.

"Miss Xia, I do indeed have a favor to ask of you," Dean Lu said, getting straight to the point. "It’s like this, Miss Xia, my father has also been poisoned, and I implore you to save him."

"Feel free to make any requests, and as long as I, as an individual, am capable, I will exhaust all efforts without shirking," he said, his tone sincere and imploring, like someone clutching at a lifesaving straw.

Xia Ningxing immediately waved her hand, "You are too polite. You have already been a great help to me. Now, it’s only right for me to help you. However, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to cure him. I need to see what kind of poison your father has been afflicted with first."

While the Ten Thousand Poisonous Needles could counter countless toxins, the outcome still depended on the patient’s condition.

For someone like Tao Tao with a mild case of poisoning, it was easy to force the poison out with silver needles. However, for cases with long-standing poison, the administration of needles might well lead directly to death, presenting an extremely high risk.

Therefore, she could not rashly agree.

"Miss Xia, just do your best; you don’t need to feel too much pressure. I’ll take you to see my father now, and you can decide after that," said Dean Lu, a sensible man, looking at Xia Ningxing with the eyes of an elder observing his junior.

"Okay," nodded Xia Ningxing, and before leaving, she turned to Tao Tao, "Taozi, I’m going out with Dean Lu for a bit. You rest well, and if there’s any issue, just call for the nurse."

"Xiaxia, go ahead without worry, I’ll be fine on my own," Tao Tao nodded and said.

Dean Lu’s father was in the top-floor ward.

When Xia Ningxing followed Dean Lu into the ward, she saw a group of people surrounding the elderly man, all with faces full of sorrow.

Upon seeing Dean Lu arrive, they greeted him; some calling him big brother, some uncle, and others great-uncle, and so on...

Dean Lu nodded in response to each, then with reddened eyes, gazed at the elder struggling for life on the bed. "How is father now?"

"How else can he be? Same as before, still unconscious, and his heart rate is dropping. The attending physician just said that he probably won’t make it through this winter," said Dean Lu’s elder sister, who was speaking while tears fell from her eyes.

Hearing this, tears also welled up in Dean Lu’s eyes.

His father had devoted his life to the military; had it been ancient times, he would have been a general fighting by the emperor’s side. Now that he had finally reached a peaceful and prosperous time, who would have expected his days to be so numbered?

Moreover, as a doctor himself, he frustratingly had been unable to determine the poison inside his own father’s body for so many years.

Upon this thought, a profound sadness and discomfort arose in Dean Lu’s heart.

But now, with Xia Ningxing present, banking on the ancestral Ten Thousand Poisonous Needles technique of the Traditional Medicine Family, he was certain the toxin could be driven out!

"Miss Xia, please take a look at my father," implored Dean Lu deeply, respectfully inviting Xia Ningxing.

"Understood."

As Xia Ningxing stepped forward to take the old man’s pulse, she was met with resistance from the family members.

"Big brother, are you sure you’re not acting recklessly? What can a young girl like her discern?" The first to speak was Aunt Lu, around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, exceptionally well-maintained, and even with a frown, she exuded an air of grace without overbearing presence.

Xia Ningxing had seen her in the newspapers; she was a national first-class dance artist.
