"Then we'll talk when she comes to me. At any rate, she hasn't come to me yet." Wei Zhao said.
The car drove into Songshan Medical and Pharmaceutical University and headed straight for the family villa district.
"Is the man treating you from this university?" Wei Zhao suddenly thought of someone, Guan Xuemin, who had given him his card in the bookstore. He seemed to be the dean of some school in this very university, and Wei Zhao wondered whether Yang Huaijun might know him. "Yes, a very formidable old gentleman, highly renowned at home and abroad. But when he saw the prescription you gave me... especially when he heard my condition had improved after drinking your Chinese medicine, he got so excited he could hardly contain himself. He cleared his whole schedule this morning and is waiting at home for you to come... making me feel like some big shot." Hearing Yang Huaijun's words, Wei Zhao smiled. "Then let's hurry, and not keep the old gentleman waiting."
Wei Zhao held old men of that sort in deep respect. Even if their medical skill might not match his own, that was only for want of guidance from the right teacher. Old Wei of his own family was practically a treasure trove of Chinese medicine. They said he had spent most of his life in the Miao frontier of Yunnan, weaving gu sorcery together with Chinese medicine and bacteriology, and it was during those years that he had met Wei Zhao's master...
The old man seldom spoke of that history, only mumbling a few words when drunk, but it was plain to see that he and Wei Zhao's master were friends who had faced life and death together. So the fact that he himself knew medicine and was so skilled with his hands... was entirely thanks to a stroke of great luck. Without such an old man and such a remarkable master, he would have been nothing but an ordinary fellow.
After the same careful registration at the gate, the car entered the compound and stopped in front of a villa.
"We're here. This is it." Yang Huaijun got out first and rang the doorbell of the villa.
Wei Zhao followed behind, sizing up the surrounding villas. Clearly, anyone who could live here ranked high in both status and achievement!
Before long the villa door opened. Although the door could have been operated by remote without anyone coming in person, this time the owner had come downstairs himself to open it, standing there with solemn ceremony, his face full of reverence and gravity.
"Huh?" Wei Zhao stared in surprise at the owner standing before him... and the owner, on first catching sight of Wei Zhao, also froze for a moment before an expression of disbelief spread across his face!
"You... you are..." Guan Xuemin stared at the young man before him in disbelief.
"Heh... Old Guan, it's me. We met in the bookstore!" Wei Zhao said with a polite smile. "How do you do, Old Guan, and sorry to trouble you to come greet me in person..."
"So it was you... I thought as much..." Guan Xuemin looked at Wei Zhao and said in shock. "Back then, this old man underestimated you... I really am sorry. Whether you study at my College of Chinese Medicine or not hardly matters now..."
"Grandpa Guan, what is this... you and Wei Zhao?" Yang Huaijun was stunned too. What act were these two putting on? It looked as if they had known each other for a long time!
