“Do you still want to continue listening to Mr. Yang?” asked Chen Yinsheng.
“Yeah!” All the students shouted louder.
“Okay, I’ll try,” Chen Yinsheng immediately responded at the sight of the students with enthusiasm. He turned off the microphone and walked to Old Yang, who was standing aside. He feigned persuasion, but in fact, said in a low voice, “Mr. Yang, you are teaching well. I was fascinated just now.”
“Thank you,” Old Yang answered.
“What do you think of our school’s students?” Chen Yinsheng continued to ask.
“Very good, very studious.” Old Yang glanced at all the students in the lecture hall and said, “I’m very glad. Over the years, it’s the first time I’ve given a lecture to so many students, and it’s also the first time I’ve seen so many students concentrating on their classes. My lifelong learning during these years is finally useful today.”
“Then, sorry to bother you again,” Chen Yinsheng said.
“Uh…” Hesitating for a moment, Old Yang said in a lower voice, “Actually, I also want to tell you that it’s not good to deceive the students in this way. After all, we are all teachers.”
“That’s what a teacher should do.” Chen Yinsheng said with a wry smile, “You don’t know that these kids are real personalities. It is necessary to give them a feeling of taking advantage and getting it hard, or they won’t cherish it.”
“Alright,” Old Yang responded, smiling bitterly.
Hearing that, Chen Yinsheng returned to the podium with a smile at once, turned on the microphone, and happily faced all the students, saying, “Class, Mr. Yang has agreed to give you another lecture tomorrow!”
As soon as the words came out, all the students present cheered excitedly.
Seeing this, both Chen Yinsheng and Old Yang smiled.
The next day, the lecture continued.
However, rather than participate in it, Fang Qiu ran to the gate of the prison early in the morning, waiting for Zhang Xinming.
Jiangjing Prison was located 20 kilometers away from the downtown of Jiangjing, where the scenery was charming, and a huge garden had been built nearby.
In order to come over, Fang Qiu specially rented a car to drive and waited at the gate of the prison.
He was informed in the lobby that Zhang Xinming would be released from prison at 9:00 a.m. so he arrived at 8:30 a.m.
Standing at the gate of the prison, Fang Qiu just looked at it as if he were here to pick up his relatives.
He waited there for ten minutes.
“Boom…” There was a roar of the engine.
Turning around, Fang Qiu saw a really familiar face—Li Qingshi!
Well aware of the relationship between Li Qingshi and Zhang Xinming, Fang Qiu knew he was to pick up Zhang Xinming at the sight of him.
Originally, Fang Qiu was going to go up and say hello to Li Qingshi.
However, he had never expected that Li Qingshi parked the car far away and turned his back to Fang Qiu as soon as he got out of the car, with no intention of greeting Fang Qiu at all. In this case, Fang Qiu had no choice but to continue waiting quietly instead of showing excessive passion.
It was 9:00 a.m. The gate of the prison officially opened when the time came.
Fang Qiu took a closer look. The person who was coming out was just Zhang Xinming.
Generally speaking, prison guards would send out the ex-convicts and even warned them when they left, “Don’t let me see you again.”
But the scene in front of him was completely different.
There were a total of four prison guards who escorted Zhang Xinming out. Moreover, they were very respectful to Zhang Xinming, as if they were not sending off a prisoner, but a big shot.
And they looked quite reluctant to see him off!
Because Fang Qiu was standing at the roadside of the front gate of the prison, Zhang Xinming saw Fang Qiu at first glance when he walked out.
As he saw Fang Qiu, his expression was not complicated. Instead, he even gently smiled at him.
On the other side, Li Qingshi came forward and took the bag from Zhang Xinming, saying, “Uncle, let’s go.”
“You go first.” Zhang Xinming took out his mobile phone, wallet containing money, and his ID card from the bag, putting them in his trouser pocket. Then, he said to Li Qingshi, “I want to talk to Fang Qiu for a while.”
“What is there to talk about?” Raising his eyebrows, Li Qingshi apparently seemed a little angry.
From his point of view, it was Fang Qiu who made Zhang Xinming go to jail.
Without Fang Qiu, Zhang Xinming would have definitely been Dean of School of Chinese Medicine now. He needn’t suffer in prison for a year and a half!
“I have a lot to talk to Fang Qiu.” Zhang Xinming laughed and patted Li Qingshi on the shoulder, saying, “It’s all right. You go back and tell everyone first. I’ll be back in a minute.”
Hearing that, Li Qingshi curled his lips, turned around, and drove away without giving a glimpse of Fang Qiu.
“Where are we going?” Zhang Xinming asked as he looked at Fang Qiu.
“Have some tea and eat something by the way,” answered Fang Qiu.
“Okay.” Zhang Xinming followed Fang Qiu into the car with a smile.
Because the place to go was in the downtown area, just 20 kilometers away, they quickly arrived at a quiet teahouse in the bustling city.
Originally, Fang Qiu was meant to order some food, but Zhang Xinming refused, only ordering a pot of tea.
“How was it going?” Fang Qiu asked as he poured a cup of tea for Zhang Xinming.
“Don’t forget that I used to be a doctor. I can survive anywhere. Didn’t you see that they sent me out just now?” Zhang Xinming said with a smile. “If I could not leave, they would want me to stay for a few more years, healing all their families and relatives’ bodies.”
Hearing that, Fang Qiu smiled.
That was indeed the fact.
“Although I have been in jail, there were also TV channels for me to watch the news. In the past year and a half, I have seen a lot of news about you on TV.” Zhang Xinming chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said, “I didn’t expect that in just two years, you have made great achievements. To be honest, I admire you very much.”
“I should thank you,” Fang Qiu said sincerely. “I’ve been helped many times by Canon of Poison you gave me.”
Zhang Xinming waved his hand.
“What are you going to do next?” asked Fang Qiu.
“What am I going to do?” Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Xinming said, “I’ve thought about this question when in jail, too. Going back to school is impossible. What I’m most likely to do may be to open a small clinic. I’ve spent the fullest time in prison during my lifetime, concentrating on studying every day. The feeling of wandering in the sea of knowledge is much better than that of fighting for fame and wealth in school.”
“So, you haven’t decided yet?” Fang Qiu asked. And then he added, “If possible, I sincerely invite you to help me.”
“Oh?” Zhang Xinming was stunned, asking curiously, “What can I do for you?”
“Three Billion Plan,” Fang Qiu said directly. “Now Three Billion Foundation has been established, but no one there knows medicine, so I want to hire you to be a senior executive in the foundation and help us.”
“Are you trying to return good for evil?” Zhang Xinming smiled.
“No resentment.” Shaking his head, Fang Qiu said, “We’ve squared up over the one year and a half. Moreover, Canon of Poison has made up for everything.”
“I’ll think about your invitation,” Zhang Xinming nodded with a smile and said, “but I guess I won’t go.”
“I’ll wait for your call,” said Fang Qiu.
“Okay.” Zhang Xinming nodded, stood up, and said, “I won’t have dinner. Thank you for inviting me to drink tea. I’m returning home to see my wife and children. I’m sorry to leave them for such a long time.”
“I’ll take you home.” Fang Qiu got up.
“There’s no need.” Shaking his head, Zhang Xinming said, “It’s easy to get a taxi here. My home is not far from here, so I won’t bother you.”
Finishing, Zhang Xinming stepped away.
Walking out of the teahouse. Fang Qiu, who wore a mask, saw Zhang Xinming leave and couldn’t help sighing with emotion. “Calming down is indeed the best way for a man to return to original nature.”
In the vanity fair, many things could not be controlled by oneself. Most of the time, the mistakes made by many people were caused by their pursuit of fame and wealth. To put it simply, it was desire.
On the contrary, when one was completely calm and immersed in a space that only belonged to himself, without any temptation of fame or wealth, he would truly return to his original nature and find his true intention, knowing clearly who he was, what he wanted, and what to do next!
Zhang Xinming was such a typical example.
From him, Fang Qiu could feel the indifference that Zhang Xinming had never possessed before. It was as if all the hatred had been thrown away and he had become a completely different person.
On the other side, Zhang Xinming sat in the taxi, sighing with emotion in his heart.
After one-year-and-a-half silence, he finally saw the essence of the matter. He even couldn’t understand why he had been so obsessed and done such a wrong thing before.
Of course, what made him most emotional was that in just two years, the young man had held up half the sky of the Chinese Medicine field alone.
Such a figure had not appeared for many years.
At University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, Old Yang was invited to lecture on the third day under the strong demand of the students after the lecture on the second day ended.
The students were overjoyed because of Old Yang while the Chinese Medicine field was shocked by his appearance on the other side.
“Highly-skilled doctor surnamed Yang?”
“Giving lectures at University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine?”
“The 51st highly-skilled doctor?”
“Why did this highly-skilled doctor suddenly appear? Where did he come from?”
For a moment, people in the Chinese Medicine field were all confused.
Some people who had connections began to check the records of that year. As a result, they found that there was really such a person recorded. It was only available that this person was a highly-skilled doctor of the Miao Clan, but nobody knew his name or strength.
It was also because Old Yang was too mysterious that he was not included in the statistics. Of course, the most important reason was that no one could find him and everyone thought he had disappeared.
But now, it was found that he was still alive actually.
Of course, many of them denied Old Yang’s existence due to lacking a full understanding of his detailed information. However, when Holy Doctor Chu saw Mr. Yang’s photo finally, he directly confirmed that Mr. Yang was the highly-skilled doctor of the Miao Clan who came out of the mountains and suddenly disappeared.
With Holy Doctor Chu’s confirmation, everyone’s discussion gradually faded away. At the same time, the whole Chinese Medicine field officially recognized Old Yang’s identity as the 51st highly-skilled doctor!
