âI didnât expect you to remember me, Junior.â Zhu Qianqian laughed.
âBut you were a legendary figure in our school back then. It was an honor to even exchange a word with you.â
âIâm just an ordinary person. You couldâve just sent me an email for the information you needed, rather than making a trip in this hot weather.â
âItâs the least I can do to thank you for your help, Senior. I picked out this small gift, I hope you wonât mind.â
Zhu Xiangxiang pushed a bag towards her.
Zhu Qianqian immediately refused when she saw the logo on the bag: âNo, this is too extravagant, I canât accept it.â
âSenior, Iâve always wanted to thank you properly. Do you remember when I got a high fever and fainted during gym class in elementary school? You were the one who took me to the hospital. From then on, you became my hero, and I decided to apply for medical school because of you.â
Zhu Qianqian was surprised: âI donât remember that!â
âYou must have forgotten since youâve helped so many people.â Zhu Xiangxiang took a sip of her coffee and continued, âIn recent years, Iâve been studying traditional Chinese medicine on my own, and Iâve been debating whether to study Chinese or Western medicine in the future.â
âThatâs amazing! Youâre just a freshman in high school, and youâre already thinking about college? Junior, youâre even more determined than I was back then. â
Zhu Xiangxiang smiled faintly: âI canât help it, Iâm passionate about it.â
Zhu Xiangxiang looked at Zhu Qianqianâs face and furrowed her brow slightly. Qianqian touched her own face: âWhat is it?â
âSenior, have you been experiencing acid reflux and stomach discomfort
lately?â
Zhu Qianqian was surprised: âHow can you tell?â
Zhu Xiangxiang said: âGive me your hand, and Iâll take your pulse.â
Zhu Qianqian obediently handed her hand over.
Zhu Xiangxiang placed her hand gently on Zhu Qianqianâs pulse and closed her eyes, giving off an air of a worldly expert.
Zhu Xiangxiang opened her eyes and sighed.
Zhu Qianqianâs heart skipped a beat, and she anxiously asked: âIâm not going to fall seriously ill, am I?â
Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head with a smile: âNo, itâs just spleen and kidney yang deficiency caused by an improper diet, as well as stagnant qi and blood congestion. If you take good care of yourself, youâll be fine. Let me teach you a massage techniqueâ¦â
Zhu Qianqian followed her instructions and massaged the acupoints on her hand. The acid reflux really did lessen significantly, and she couldnât help but praise: âYouâre really good at this, I can tell youâve learned a lot about traditional Chinese medicine.â
Zhu Xiangxiang explained: âActually, itâs because my grandma is not well, so Iâve been taking care of her and learning from experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.â
âYouâre really filial.â
A trace of sadness flashed in Zhu Xiangxiangâs eyes, ââBeing filial hasnât helped much⦠â
Zhu Qianqian suddenly remembered the recent scandal surrounding the true heiress of the Zhus and reassured, âDonât worry, with your talents, youâll definitely be very successful no matter where you go. They will eventually beg you to come back.â
Zhu Xiangxiang forced a smile: âThank you, Senior. Iâll be fine. Iâll send you the prescription on WeChat later.â
âOh, since youâre here, let me give you the information you wanted. These are my study notes from when I attended an advanced math class in high school. Iâve organized them a little, I hope theyâll be helpful to you.â
âThank you so much, Senior. Iâll treat you to a meal sometime. And please, do accept the gift, or else Iâll feel guilty.â
Zhu Qianqian accepted it, considering her enthusiasm, and thought sheâd find a way to make it up to her later.
âSenior, I have to go for registration this afternoon, so Iâll leave now. Iâll be in touch. â
Zhu Qianqian watched Zhu Xiangxiangâs departing figure in a daze until a shadow fell across her and she looked up, startled enough to nearly fall out of her chair.
She immediately stood up respectfully: âShen⦠Secretary Shen.â
Shen Ke glanced at the girlâs retreating figure and asked, âWhoâs she?â
Zhu Qianqian was a bit confused but still honestly replied under Shen Keâs imposing gaze: âSheâs my junior, Zhu Xiangxiang.â
âZhu Xiangxiang?â Shen Ke frowned.
As an ordinary employee in Shenzhou Groupâs administration department, Zhu Qianqian had only been able to admire someone like Secretary Shen from afar, not even having the opportunity to talk to him. Even her immediate boss probably wasnât qualified to chat with Shen Ke. Now, he was actually speaking with her, even though he was asking about someone else, Zhu Qianqian still felt extremely flattered.
Could it be that Shen Ke had taken an interest in Zhu Xiangxiang?
Given Zhu Xiangxiangâs background as a rich and elegant young woman from a prestigious family, and her status as the top socialite in Jiangzhou, it wouldnât be surprising if Shen Ke was attracted to her..
