Chapter 1450 — Wei Zhaodian's Suggestion
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Anything will do... Am I really that picky? The food in the hospital canteen isn't always so good either, but I eat it all the same," Guan Xin said with a smile. "Just find any place."
It was the first time Wei Zhaodian had invited Guan Xin to dinner, so he did not want to take her anywhere too shabby. After thinking it over, he settled on the Pengzhan Business Hotel. It was quieter there, and besides, it was on his own people's ground, which made things convenient as well.
"We don't need anywhere this fine, do we?" Guan Xin felt it was a little too extravagant when she saw Wei Zhaodian park the car in the business hotel's parking lot.
Though born into a well-to-do family, she had never picked up extravagant habits, and in that respect she was even better than the Young Miss. The Young Miss had none of the affectation of a pampered young lady, but when it came to spending money she still had little sense of it.
"This is Yaoyao's family hotel. I have a VIP card here, so it isn't really expensive," Wei Zhaodian explained.
"Oh..." Guan Xin knew quite well who Gu Mengyao was, the girl Wei Zhaodian had protected at the bank. To tell the truth, Guan Xin envied her a little. Even if she was not Wei Zhaodian's girlfriend, at least she could spend every day at his side.
The two of them took a small private room and ordered a few dishes at random, and then Wei Zhaodian asked, "Xinxin, you came to find me. Is there something important?"
"Yes, there is something... I can't quite make up my mind, and I wanted to ask you to help me think it over..." Guan Xin blushed a little in embarrassment. "It won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
"Not at all. It is only natural for friends to talk things over. Tell me what it is, and I will see if I can help you think it through!" Wei Zhaodian agreed readily.
"It is like this... Grandpa wants me to go study medicine with a friend of his... but that is not what I like. I don't think I am cut out to be a doctor. Ever since I was little I have liked nursing work. When Grandpa saw patients, I helped him weigh out herbs and brew them, and I was always good at judging the weights and controlling the heat. Back then Grandpa even praised me as a natural for medicine, but... so many years have passed, and now that I am grown, I still feel I only like dispensing and decocting herbs, and nursing work..." Guan Xin spoke slowly of her own troubles. "I don't want to disappoint Grandpa, but I really am not made for that..."
"Mm... so it is about that..." To be honest, this was something Wei Zhaodian found rather hard to get involved in, since Guan Xuewen's wishes were part of it, and he could hardly tell Guan Xin to go against him.
"Yes, I am in a difficult spot. Wei Zhaodian, what do you think I should do?" Guan Xin looked at Wei Zhaodian with a troubled frown.
"Mm... you like dispensing and brewing herbs... What if you only studied the pharmacology and properties of Chinese medicine? Would you like that?" Wei Zhaodian was troubled too, but after thinking it over, he came up with a compromise.
"Of course I would like that!" Guan Xin nodded. "I have loved helping Grandpa prepare prescriptions since I was little... I don't know why, but every time I handle and brew herbs, I feel a kind of closeness, maybe because I was born into a house that smelled of Chinese medicine?"
"Then I suggest you tell Grandpa Guan that you will only study the pharmacology and properties of medicines, rather than learning how to treat patients. That way you would only prescribe for illnesses that have already been diagnosed, and you would not have to examine patients yourself," Wei Zhaodian said. "I wonder if that suggestion is any help to you?"
