Li Se was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected this Luo Lin to invite him for a meal, especially since the US Medical Association had lost so decisively this time.
He had noticed that Charles and the others had very unpleasant expressions, yet only Luo Lin remained engaged in conversation and laughter. This was quite rare.
"Alright!" Li Se agreed readily.
The two soon left the Chinese Medicine Hall.
At a Chinese restaurant.
Li Se looked at Luo Lin with surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to bring me to a Chinese restaurant."
Luo Lin smiled and replied, "Every time I come to China, I have to eat at a Chinese restaurant because the taste is different from Western food, and it's delicious."
"Dr. Li, I truly didn't expect Chinese medicine to be so powerful," Luo Lin said with an excited smile, her eyes wide open. She was very beautiful. "I apologize for my past thoughts and actions. I used to look down on Chinese medicine and even thought it was harmful. That's why we agreed to compete with Chinese medicine after our US Medical Association Vice President Charles publicly apologized. As it turns out, Charles was right."
Li Se raised an eyebrow. "He wasn't sincere; he was forced back then."
"Oh? What happened?" Luo Lin, who had thought Charles was farsighted, now felt something was different after hearing Li Se.
Li Se let out a cold laugh and recounted the events of the previous period.
"So he lost to you and only apologized publicly after accepting benefits from Shen Long. What a Charles," Luo Lin said. Although a bit angry, she couldn't do anything to Charles, as the family behind him was by no means weak.
After they had eaten their fill, Luo Lin put her hands together and smiled, "Dr. Li, can you be my teacher?"
"You want me to be your teacher?" Li Se was surprised. This woman was the president of the US Medical Association and only around thirty years old. At this age, she was already a leader in the medical field. While Western medicine might be simpler than Chinese medicine, achieving such success at this age indicated her medical skills were extremely formidable.
Luo Lin nodded. "Yes, I want to learn Chinese medicine. After witnessing your medical skills, I am completely convinced. Please take me as your disciple."
"This..." Li Se seemed hesitant.
Luo Lin pondered for a moment. "Also, I'm not married yet. If you become my teacher, you can also be my boyfriend."
"Isn't this developing too fast?" Li Se's eyes widened. He carefully observed Luo Lin. She was very beautiful, truly beautiful. Her tanned skin and wavy black hair, even though she was from a Western country with different aesthetic standards, Luo Lin's appearance was very much in line with Eastern aesthetics.
Some women are like that, beautiful whether in the West or the East.
Moreover, Luo Lin had an excellent figure, especially the pair in front of her chest, which seemed about to spill out.
"Too fast?" Luo Lin was unconcerned. "I think you are very capable, and I like you very much. You being my boyfriend and my teacher, I think it's very good."
"Let's see," Li Se shook his head. Although Luo Lin was beautiful and he was somewhat tempted, he already had quite a few women around him.
Speaking of which, foreign women were indeed unrestrained. She wanted to be his girlfriend after just meeting him. He guessed that if he agreed, they could get a room tonight.
After parting ways with Luo Lin, Li Se received a call from his mother.
"Mom, what's up?" Li Se asked, puzzled.
Chen Xiulian said, "Son, it's like this, your cousin is coming to Qingyun City. You have to look after her."
"Okay," Li Se agreed readily.
"Don't spend the money you're earning recklessly. You should quickly find a girlfriend. You're not young anymore. When I was your age, you could already play in the soy sauce market..." Chen Xiulian began to nag again.
A full half-hour later, Li Se finally hung up the phone, feeling a bit helpless. He wished he could bring a girlfriend to meet his mother, but who should he bring?
Jiang Ranran or Huang Shanshan? Or perhaps Xia Shuyu and Xia Bingyun?
Never mind, he wouldn't think about these things for now.
The next day.
Around noon, Li Se went to the station and soon picked up his cousin.
"Cousin!" His cousin Chen Ping was quite pretty and knew how to dress, looking youthful and vibrant.
"Why are you here in Qingyun City?" Li Se asked curiously.
"I've graduated," Chen Ping said with a giggle. "I plan to come to Qingyun City, and I've already found a job. The company wants me to go for an interview this afternoon."
Li Se then remembered that Chen Ping was graduating from university this year. He said, "Let's go, I'll take you out for a meal first."
After the meal, Chen Ping left her luggage at Li Se's place and then went out on her own.
With nothing pressing at the moment, Li Se decided to visit the company, which was naturally Yuanfeng Group, with a market value of two billion and expected to rise further, possessing excellent prospects.
Upon arriving at Yuanfeng Group, Li Se was filled with awe. It had its own independent building. He hadn't expected to be the owner of this building.
Just as he was about to enter, he ran into Chen Ping.
"Oh, Chen Ping is here for an interview?" Li Se was a little surprised.
Chen Ping held her resume in hand. She had already contacted the company beforehand. After waiting for a while, a woman in a professional skirt suit walked out.
"Chen Ping, over here!" the woman in the professional skirt suit waved to her.
"Lili, you're doing quite well now. I envy you," Chen Ping clearly recognized the woman in the professional skirt suit.
Guo Yanli smiled and said, "Once you get into this company, your future development won't be bad either. I've spoken highly of you to the supervisor, and only then did he agree to let you interview. You know, there are so many college students like you outside, even postgraduates are a dime a dozen. And our university is also quite ordinary. Without certain connections, it's really hard to get into Yuanfeng Group. You don't have any advantages either. Fortunately, I put in a good word for you, which got you this interview opportunity. You must perform well."
"Lili, I will!" Chen Ping said gratefully, taking out a red envelope and handing it to Guo Yanli.
Guo Yanli weighed it and frowned slightly. "It's a bit thin."
Chen Ping understood and immediately took out another red envelope, stuffing it into Guo Yanli's hand.
"Hmm, let's go, I'll take you to see the supervisor," Guo Yanli finally nodded with satisfaction.
Li Se, standing nearby, frowned slightly and then followed them.
Guo Yanli and Chen Ping soon met the supervisor.
"Yanli, is this your college best friend?" the supervisor asked, appraising Chen Ping from head to toe, a glint of greed in his eyes.
"Supervisor Wang, yes," Guo Yanli nodded repeatedly and then nudged Chen Ping.
"Hello, Supervisor Wang, my name is Chen Ping," Chen Ping quickly introduced herself.
Supervisor Wang chuckled and said, "Listen, Yuanfeng Group is no longer recruiting people. You're getting in through the back door, so the interview can't be held in the company."
"Then where should I be interviewed?" Chen Ping asked suspiciously.
Supervisor Wang replied, "At a hotel!"
