Chapter 1114: Chapter 1115: Let Me Broaden Your Horizons

Although the Medical University’s free clinic has been running for a while and many citizens come here for treatment, it has always been lukewarm. After all, the ones here are students, and even if there are some professors, they only provide guidance and don’t actually treat patients, so it’s different from a formal hospital visit.

But ever since Song Xiaodong came, the acupuncture class obviously attracted many people seeking treatment. Reputation is really important. Now, many people know that the Medical University’s acupuncture is very skilled, which also extended the originally two-hour-long free clinic by an hour, and there are still people waiting in line.

In the end, they had to tell those people to come back next time for the free clinic, and only then did they leave reluctantly.

“Teacher Song, I’m so tired, my legs are weak.”

“Yeah, since arriving here, I haven’t had a break. I gave acupuncture to twenty patients today.”

“You only had twenty; I had twenty-five.”

The students were all complaining of exhaustion, but in fact, their faces were all filled with excitement. Whatever they did, they sought approval from others, and clearly, they had gotten it. So no matter how hard or tiring it was, they were still happy.

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “Now, with so many people letting you practice your acupuncture technique for free, this is a huge benefit for you. So stop complaining.”

“Teacher Song, you’re really partial, look at Lu Yaobing, she’s not tired at all. I saw you put your hand on her back several times. Did you use some special method?” some students began to ask.

Lu Yaobing said proudly, “I’m the master’s apprentice, of course, I have special treatment. You can just envy me.”

“When can Teacher Song accept me as an apprentice too?”

Everyone was extremely envious. They all knew that Lu Yaobing’s acupuncture technique was now a level above theirs. Some illnesses they couldn’t treat, Lu Yaobing could treat very well.

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “That depends on your level of effort. Although I didn’t say you could become my apprentice, if you work hard, I will certainly reward you.”

“Oh yeah!” Everyone shouted excitedly. They took Song Xiaodong’s promise seriously. This teacher wasn’t all talk; he would definitely follow through.

After everyone dispersed, Lu Yaobing still followed beside Song Xiaodong and said, “Master, are you going home again?”

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “Tonight I have to attend an event, I’ll go back tomorrow.”

“So will you be staying here tonight?” Lu Yaobing’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, is there something you need to ask?” Song Xiaodong asked.

Lu Yaobing nodded repeatedly and said, “Master, I have some more questions I’d like to ask you. If you have time tonight, could you give me some more guidance?”

“Oh, that’s no problem. I haven’t checked out of my room today, so I’ll stay there tonight. I think I’ll be back around nine. You can come find me then.”

“Great!” Lu Yaobing nodded happily.

Song Xiaodong looked at Lu Yaobing, hesitated for a moment, and said, “How about this, I’ll take you to this event tonight too, so you can gain some experience. Later, when my apprentice goes out, it wouldn’t be good if no one respects you.”

“Yes, yes.” Lu Yaobing nodded eagerly.

“Then let’s go,” Song Xiaodong said with a slight smile.

Lu Yaobing immediately stepped forward and took Song Xiaodong’s arm.

The two went to get the car and then arrived at Jiahao Grand Hotel, a top five-star hotel in Ningjian Province, with quite high expenses, not affordable for ordinary people. When events were held here, even small companies couldn’t afford it.

As Song Xiaodong entered the hotel with Lu Yaobing, she curiously asked, “Master, what kind of event is this today?”

“Actually, it’s not an important event, just a cocktail party, a gathering for some influential people in Ningjian Province to network. I usually don’t attend such things, but since I’m here this time, I’m attending to give them some face.”

“Giving them face? Master, doesn’t that mean your status is much higher than the people here?”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “Indeed, in Ningjian Province, there’s no one whose status and position are higher than mine.”

What Song Xiaodong said was bold and not his usual style. He said this deliberately to let Lu Yaobing know that being his apprentice, she also had enough capital and status, and she didn’t need to look at others’ faces.

After verifying Song Xiaodong’s invitation, the security personnel let him and Lu Yaobing enter.

Seeing the situation inside, Lu Yaobing felt a bit nervous and shrank back to Song Xiaodong’s side, saying, “Master, this cocktail is really high-end. Those women are all wearing dresses, and we… we’re too casual.”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “A person’s status and position aren’t proven just by a set of clothes.”

“Oh…” Seeing Song Xiaodong’s composed smile, Lu Yaobing also straightened her back. If her master wasn’t afraid, she had nothing to fear either. Besides, her master had said that his status here was unmatched, so she couldn’t embarrass him.

“Hey! Lu Yaobing!” a man called out, quickly walking towards Lu Yaobing.

“Ah! It’s Chen Xuedong.” Lu Yaobing was also slightly surprised.

Chen Xuedong looked at Lu Yaobing with fervent eyes and said, “It’s me, indeed. I really didn’t expect to see you at this cocktail party.”

“I’m just here to gain some experience with my teacher.” Lu Yaobing smiled at Chen Xuedong, not letting go of Song Xiaodong’s arm.

Chen Xuedong frowned slightly and asked, “Teacher? A teacher from our school?”

Lu Yaobing replied, “Yes, this is Teacher Song from our acupuncture class.”

Chen Xuedong nodded, showing a hint of unconcern about Song Xiaodong’s identity. Although he was also a Medical University student and was about to graduate soon, considering his Chen family’s status in Ningjian, he wouldn’t pay attention to a teacher even if he were just starting university.

“Yaobing, we haven’t had much interaction during university, but I’ve always paid attention to you. It’s a coincidence meeting you now, so do I have a chance to be your boyfriend?”

Chen Xuedong seemingly spoke sincerely, but there was an undeniable tone in his words. He was confident that with his family background and status, Lu Yaobing had no reason not to agree to be his girlfriend.
