Chapter 54 The Mad Little Snow
With the pass in hand, the rest is easy.
Lin Pangzi and I discussed it and decided to go to Hong Kong Island on the tenth day of the lunar new year.
There are many things to do during the Chinese New Year.
During this period, thanks to the promotion and introduction by General Manager Yang and Aunt Xiao, our reputation has begun to grow.
When the clinic first opened, my brother and I were famous for a few days. Back then, people in Beijing's social circles were only interested in Aunt Xiao because of her connections; they didn't really take me seriously.
After a while, thanks to Mr. Yang's introduction, some bosses who tried my formula said it was good. People in the industry had Li Feihong's example to prove it, plus the promotion from Aunt Xiao and Ye Yingzi, those two big mouths.
The news that my brother and I treated Bai Xue's illness and helped Ma Shuai improve his health spread, at least within Beijing's social circles.
Although my reputation has grown, most of the people who come to me are there to improve their health.
Back then, there weren't many people who raised ghost children or worshipped fox spirits, unlike later on, when at least five out of ten people resorted to evil methods.
Before the New Year, Third Master showed up and held a small gathering at the club, giving me and Fatty Lin each a big red envelope of 88,800 yuan.
On New Year's Day, we originally planned to spend it alone, but Aunt Xiao called my brother and me over and said that it would be no fun to spend the New Year alone.
As expected, Aunt Xiao drank too much.
When Aunt Xiao is drunk, she dares to say anything, such as cursing Third Master and wanting to kill Third Master's first wife.
Seeing that she was about to say more about the Hua family, I had no choice but to give her an injection and put her to sleep.
Some things you can listen to, and some things you can't.
Who would dare let a woman like that rise to power?
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, General Manager Li and Li Li came to offer their New Year's greetings.
Over the past few months, Li Li has been sending me messages from time to time, telling me about her recent situation.
This period was the happiest time for Li Li.
With flowers always around, her life went smoothly.
The biological father also escaped his predicament.
Her biological mother and stepfather doted on her.
"Thirteenth Brother, Uncle Hua said he's going to release an EP for me this year, and that I should study vocal music properly after the New Year. He's also going to make a music video for me, and I can choose any director. Once I become famous, I'll put you on the list of assistants and pay you a monthly salary!"
Li Li clung to my arm, bouncing around with her eyes full of anticipation for the future.
"Alright, once you become famous, give me more opportunities!"
I tapped the little bit of baby fat on Li Li's chin and said with a smile.
"Brother Thirteen, how many times have I told you not to touch others' chins!"
Li Li put her hands on her hips and said angrily in a charmingly naive manner.
"Wrong, wrong!"
I quickly apologized.
Perhaps because I was the first person she saw after waking up from the nightmare, Li Li felt a natural closeness to me; to her, I was like an older brother.
"snort!"
Li Li snorted and rolled her eyes at me.
"Little girl, stop rolling your eyes!"
Upon seeing this, General Manager Li reprimanded him.
"You yelled at me again!"
Li Li pouted and muttered to herself.
"Why!"
Mr. Li sighed and said to me, "Master Feng, I've spoiled Xiao Li rotten. If you have the chance in the future, please keep an eye on her for me!"
"good!"
Seeing Mr. Li's pleading eyes, I nodded.
"My thirteenth brother can't control me!"
Li Li made a face at me, completely oblivious to the implied sense of entrusting her son to someone else in Mr. Li's words.
What Hua Zong wanted to use Li Zong for, Li Zong didn't say, but after several interactions with Li Zong, I could sense that Li Zong's will to die was getting stronger and stronger.
After staying with me for half an hour, Mr. Li left with Li Li.
After seeing the father and daughter off, thinking about Li Li's fate, I murmured, "I wonder how President Hua plans to treat Li Li in the future!"
"Who knows!"
Fatty Lin sighed, seemingly lost in thought.
I was just about to reply when my phone rang.
"Excuse me, are you Master Feng?"
After answering, an anxious woman's voice came through the phone.
"Yes, that's me!" I said.
"Hello Master Feng, are you in Beijing? My daughter has a mental problem and I would like to ask you to take a look!" the woman said anxiously.
"I'm in Beijing. You know where my clinic is, right?" I said.
"I know, I know!"
"Then come over here now!" I said.
"Okay, I'm coming right now!"
The woman replied with one sentence and hung up the phone.
Who is it?
"I asked, Fatty Lin."
"I don't know!" I shook my head.
"You let me in without knowing?" Fatty Lin said.
"No one can get my number easily!" I said.
"Showing off!"
Fatty Lin smirked, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered into the clinic.
"You fatso!"
I laughed and scolded.
Forty minutes later, I met the woman who made the call and her daughter.
I didn't know the woman. After we were introduced, I called her Sister Yan.
I know her daughter. Her daughter's name is Xiaoxue. She's a child star. The sitcom "Reconstituted Family" she starred in was very popular, and I heard there's going to be a second season.
Xiaoxue's condition is very bad; to be more precise, Xiaoxue's condition is somewhat similar to Li Li's back then.
They were all afraid of people and light, with vacant eyes, and kept muttering "no, no."
"Sister Yan, what happened to Xiaoxue?"
Given Xiaoxue's condition, it was impossible to take her pulse; I could only ask her mother first.
"He's probably been through some kind of shock!"
Sister Yan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"Fatty, light the calming incense and let Xiaoxue get some sleep first!" I glanced at Sister Yan for a moment, then turned to Fatty and said.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded, got up, fetched some calming incense, and lit it.
As the calming incense burned, Xiaoxue's emotions gradually stabilized, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Not only Xiaoxue, but Sister Yan was also feeling drowsy.
I added something to the calming incense; the more unstable my emotions were, the more I wanted to sleep.
"Sister Yan, I'll ask you one more time, what exactly triggered Xiaoxue's distress?"
Looking at Sister Yan, I asked again.
Sister Yan shuddered, then perked up considerably. After glancing at Xiaoxue in her arms, she said, "It's nothing, just a little chilled and a bit frightened!"
"Sister Yan, if you don't tell the truth, I can't treat this illness!"
I sat down leisurely and pointed at Xiaoxue, saying, "Judging from Xiaoxue's condition, the sooner we start acupuncture, the better. If we delay any longer, it will be a problem whether she can go to school in the future!"
"You can't go to school?"
Sister Yan muttered something to herself, then her expression changed as she asked, "Can we film that?"
"You can't even go to school, and you still want to act?"
I was so angry I laughed. What kind of mother is this?!
"No, Xiaoxue has to become famous, she has to be a star, she can't stop acting!"
Sister Yan was immediately startled.
I didn't say anything, I just stared at her coldly.
"Master Feng, if I tell the truth, will you treat Xiaoxue?"
Sister Yan asked, her eyes wide.
"Yes!" I nodded.
"Can you keep it a secret?" she asked again.
"able!"
I nodded.
