Chapter 413: Well-intentioned Lies
"Okay, I got it, I'll come up to report to you in a moment."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The one who answered the call was none other than Li Jingwen.
At this moment, she was hastily making her way to the hotel.
She kept checking the time and, as she had already made an appointment with the old man, she absolutely couldn't afford any deviation in timing.
Because Grandpa Bai always had a strong sense of punctuality, this was something Li Jingwen was very clear about.
Lin Yi followed Liu Yao out of the hotel, and then they returned once again to the hotel lobby.
He looked up at Liu Yao. After all, she was still working, and she had already sacrificed a lot by taking off work to assist him.
"Alright, you go back first. There shouldn't be anything else here, oh, right, can this set of instruments stay here for the time being?"
"Oh, that's no problem. We'll just need to report it to the storeroom, there should be no issue."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you with that. Alright, you hurry back and handle the hospital's handover work. I'm afraid that in a few days when I return, you won't have time to continue working there. You need to prepare for that in advance."
"Don't worry, I've already submitted my resignation. There definitely won't be any changes. It's just that I'm feeling a bit curious right now."
"Curious? What about?"
"You never worked in the medical industry before, so why are you now able to keep everything under your control?"
"Are you referring to the surgery I just performed?"
"Exactly. The expertise with which you performed the surgery isn't something an ordinary person could achieve. So, I am certain that you must have received some sort of professional training before."
"What professional training? To be honest, I've just slowly become proficient. These are skills I mastered many years ago, which I'm beginning to feel a bit rusty at now."
Lin Yi naturally wouldn't reveal his true situation and he believed that even if he did, these people would definitely not clarify everything.
"So, you mean to say that you've worked in the medical field before?"
"Yeah, it's probably been almost seven or eight years since I last touched these things. I used to be a doctor."
"What did you say? You're a doctor? Then, if that's the case, do you also have a medical practitioner's license?"
"Yes, I do have a medical practitioner's license, but I don't know if it's still valid."
"Normally, it's revalidated every three years, but the controls have been very strict these last two years, going through an annual revalidation. If you haven't been in touch for so many years, your medical license has probably expired by now."
"Right, it should have expired by now. So, strictly speaking, if I were practicing now, it would be without a license. Let's not talk about this anymore. If I have time later, I'll go and get a new one. Any other questions?"
"Oh, no, that's it."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you should rush back."
"Alright, I know. I'll go first then."
Liu Yao seemed to have some other questions she wanted to ask, but for some reason, at that moment she felt utterly convinced and unable to voice her true thoughts.
The recent Lin Yi had told a kindly lie.
He had never thought about how he would explain these things to her.
Now, he could only follow closely and make her feel that she hadn't followed the wrong person.
"How is it, can you make it to the hotel in half an hour?"
Li Jingwen sat in the car, watching the traffic flow outside, which was moving slower and slower, and she began to feel anxious.
"It should be close, President Li. Half an hour, no, it should take less than that, we should arrive soon. We are just hitting the rush hour traffic, if it weren't for this time, we would have probably already arrived."
Li Jingwen kept urging on the way.
Finally, after about twenty minutes, Li Jiawen's car smoothly reached the hotel entrance.
Having entered the lobby, Li Jingwen looked to her left and right.
She did not expect to see Lin Yi seated there at first glance.
But apart from Lin Yi, she really didn't see anyone else.
It seemed that the old master must have returned to his room as he had said, and since he wasn't there, she could spend a little more time with Lin Yi.
Although time was very tight now, fortunately on the way there, she had managed to save 10 minutes.
She quickly walked towards Lin Yi.
The man behind her, carrying her suitcase, naturally stood to one side and began waiting patiently.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Lin Yi felt a vaguely familiar sensation, so he quickly stood and turned to look back.
It had been almost a full five years since he had last seen Li Jingwen.
Now she seemed even more mature, and from her attire, it was clear that she had done quite well for herself overseas in the past few years without any significant troubles.
"Heh, it's been a long time. You seem to be doing quite well for yourself now."
Lin Yi walked forward and stretched out his hand generously.
After all, they had a history together, and now that they were reuniting, there was no need to act like enemies.
"And you, aren't you the same? Only, you seem to have gone through a lot."
"Gone through a lot? I guess I'm just getting older."
"So, what are you doing now?"

"What else can I do? I'm still in the old trade, working in pharmaceutical marketing. However, the company has encountered some issues lately, so I've stepped back temporarily."
"What? The company's having problems? Are they operating poorly? If you need funding, I can invest in you."
"Oh, that won't be necessary. I have ample funding on my side. Did you just get off the plane?"
"I just came over from the airport. You see, I haven't even had the chance to put my stuff in my room because I've been traveling in such a hurry."
