Physician’s Odyssey

Chapter 562 - Preparing for the Charity Auction



Everyone has their own secrets in the world, and most of the time, the appearance was just a façade, which Jiang Mengou was a good example. She might seem to be a capable and successful woman, but she had her troubles that no one's aware of.

So what if she has wealth, authority, and status?

When troubled by an unknown condition, even she was helpless.

The reason why Su Tao managed to gather so many resources and constructed such a vast connection in such a short period was that he knew the secret to a human's heart.

This was why a healer had to be compassionate!

When you come to learn more things in the world, you would show more compassion and concern for your patients. Otherwise, if one has malevolent intentions, they would be able to make use of the unknown fear to manipulate the hearts of their patients.

When the meal ended, Jiang Mengou had a private chat with Qin Meimei. When the two of them came out, Qin Meimei wore a smile since her interaction with her aunt was much smoother than she'd imagined.

As the three of them sat in the vehicle, Lu Shimiao revealed the reason why they invited Jiang Mengou.

"We intend to host a charity auction to raise funds, and both Big Sister Meimei and I are seeking investments." Lu Shimiao smiled and continued, "Ms. Jiang Mengou is a famous person in the charity world with a strong influence. So if she agrees to participate, the scale will definitely be massive, and at the same time, we will be able to gather more funds."

Nodding his head, Su Tao now realised the reason why the two ladies of the Qihuang Charity Funds were here. It turns out that there's such a huge secret behind it. Fortunately, his performance was pretty good today, and Jiang Mengou was utterly conquered by his medical skills.

"Let me know if you need any help from me." Su Tao smiled.

"That's why you're needed today. Conquering her with your medical skills was more effective than the words of me and Big Sister Meimei."

Although Lu Shimiao seemed somewhat disappointed, there was some pride hidden in her words.

"There will be more of such social activities in the future, so you can't find it troublesome." Qin Meimei immediately added.

Since the Qihuang Charity Funds was centered around TCM, they would have to occasionally exhibit it to show that they're different from other charity funds.

As always, Su Tao was someone who brings surprises. Hence, Qin Meimei decided that she would drag Su Tao out if there's someone important that needed treatment in the future.

Seeing the rapport between Qin Meimei and Lu Shimiao, Su Tao nodded his head and smiled. "This isn't troublesome. It's for our career, and it's worth it no matter how tiring it is!"

Since it was getting late, they first sent Su Tao to the dorm before the two ladies returned to their hotel.

"Why didn't you follow him earlier?" Qin Meimei teased with a smile.

As Lu Shimiao blushed, she guiltily said, "Why would I follow him?"

"You're asking the obvious. It has been a long time since the two of you met, so are the two of you not going to have some passionate time together?" Qin Meimei winked.

"Stop speaking nonsense!"

Lu Shimiao was immediately put in an awkward situation, so she changed the topic, "We've come in contact with about twenty enterprises with assets over hundreds of millions, so what do you think we can do to pique their interest for the charity auction?"

As Qin Meimei's face changed, she fell into a brief silence before she replied, "We have to hype the topic to let everyone know what's going on. Furthermore, we also have to arouse the competition between them and let them know that not everyone can participate in this activity. Finally, we have to give them sufficient benefits, so we will need advertisement resources and government support. For the advertisement resources, I can contact the mainstream media in the country. As for the government's support, we just have to invite someone influential to the activity."

Hearing Qin Meimei's words, Lu Shimiao instantly had an idea and smiled. "I already have an idea. We can invite that famous person in the charity world. After all, he's someone who likes to stand in the hype. Didn't he participate in the challenge of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis a few years ago? We can come up with something and get him to play along."

Qin Meimei's brows loosened up as Lu Shimiao's thoughts were lively and acknowledged, "This is a good idea, but it won't be easy to implement. After all, he definitely has his request, and he's not someone that we can invite as we like. Even I'm uncertain if we can succeed."

"Don't worry about it and leave this matter to me." Lu Shimiao briefly pondered before she continued, "As for the government support, we can have Su Tao do something about it. He's now a National Healer, so he definitely knows someone with authority in the government sector, and I believe that they will support us for our first charity event."

"Then, I'll prepare for the party!" Qin Meimei smiled and continued, "I initially thought that Su Tao was someone dispensable, but I never expected that his existence would be so important. Many times, it's really impossible to proceed without him."

"He will always be the soul of Qihuang Charity Funds!" Lu Shimiao firmly said.

When the two of them arrived at their hotel, Qin Meimei noticed that she forgot to bring extra clothes for tomorrow morning. Knowing that Lu Shimiao was a meticulous person who's always well-prepared and even had a similar figure to her own, she went over to borrow a shirt for tomorrow.

When she came to the door and pressed on the doorbell, she frowned since no one responded. Locking her brows together, she took out her phone and wanted to give Lu Shimiao a call. But when she pressed two buttons, she gave up with a sigh.

"What a hussy! How long has it been since we got back? You didn't even give me some time to borrow a shirt from you!" Qin Meimei wore a bitter smile since she knew that Lu Shimiao was definitely not in her room right now. She must have gone to Su Tao's dorm.

Returning to her room, Qin Meimei inwardly sighed. For some reason, she felt that her body was burning a little so she headed to the bathroom. She hoped that a shower could quench the discomfort in her body.


After Su Tao showered, he sat on the couch and watched a comedy variety show, which he burst into laughter numerous times. Suddenly, his doorbell rang so he flew over and opened the door to see Lu Shimiao carrying a red purse standing by his entrance with a smile.

"Mister, do you need any service?" Lu Shimiao softly asked.

"Service? But I don't have any money to pay you!" Su Tao's lips rose as he replied with a smug.

Sourly rolling her eyes at Su Tao, Lu Shimiao snapped, "What a miser!"

Pulling Lu Shimiao into his dorm, Su Tao smiled. "Being thrifty is a virtue of China."

Instantly, Su Tao had transformed into a wolf. He restrained himself earlier when Qin Meimei was around, so since there's an opportunity now, he started wantonly groping Lu Shimiao.

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Lu Shimiao blushed as she swept his claws away and asked, "Let's talk about Little Yuan's condition first!"

"Little Yuan's condition? She should be recovering well. Can it be that her condition worsened when I wasn't around? But it shouldn't be possible!" Su Tao frowned.

Taking out her phone from her pocket, Lu Shimiao tapped onto a video and Little Yuan's face popped up with a funny face before she laughed, "Mummy Lu, Daddy Su…"

Instantly, Su Tao figured it out. Lu Shimiao was trying to scare him earlier. Little Yuan's condition has clearly improved. Although her words still weren't clear, it's still a sign of improvement. It's a drastic change from when she was just picked up from Baihe City's orphanage.

Suddenly, a sour tinge rose in Lu Shimiao's nose as her eyes welled up with tears. Knowing that she was touched, Su Tao sourly asked, "Our daughter is recovering so well, so why are you crying?"

Wiping her tears, Lu Shimiao smiled before she sourly asked, "Who's 'our' daughter?"

Although Su Tao was just rambling, Lu Shimiao still felt touched in her heart. After all, Su Tao was pretty concerned about Little Yuan.

"Didn't you hear what she called me? Daddy Su! Can it be that you're having an affair with another man with the same surname as well?" Su Tao questioned with a solemn expression.

"There's no such thing!" But as Lu Shimiao spoke, she instantly realised that Su Tao was teasing her and changed her tone, "That's right! I'm keeping many men outside with the same surname!"

Widening his eyes to stare at Lu Shimiao, Su Tao suddenly wore a vicious expression and replied, "Really? Since you're so heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless! See how I'll deal with you!"

Laughter came from the variety program on the television that caused the audience to laugh. Suddenly, the volume was turned up to mask over the havoc in the room.

Since the soundproofing in the dorm wasn't good, it's best if they mask it a little.


The dorms of a research student weren't the same as the undergraduate dorms, so the males and females were together in the same building. But even so, males and females were still divided by floors with females staying a floor above the males. Su Tao's dorm was located just by the staircase. A woman opened the door to her dorm with a mysterious expression and lowered her voice, "I discovered a secret!"

Gossip was the nature of women and her roommate immediately asked, "What secret?"

"A gorgeous woman just entered a male dorm! Can you guess who's our male lead here?" The woman said with a radiant of delight.

"Stop keeping us in suspense. There are so many males in this building, so who can guess it?" Her roommate unhappily grumbled.

"It's that Su Tao who's recently returned for classes! You see, I told you that he definitely has some background. Otherwise, how can he be so casual with his class attendance?" The woman muttered and continued, "I suspect that he must be the son of an official or a tycoon! But it's really baffling. If he really does have such a background, why would he come to the School of TCM?"

"I'm currently reading, so can you lower your volume?" Ning Ru, who was reading medical books before the desk, suddenly slammed her pen on the desk.

As the two of the roommates exchanged looks, they no longer spoke.

At the same time, they were somewhat baffled. Ning Ru usually had a good temper, so why did she lose her composure today?

Seeing that her roommates had quietened down, Ning Ru continued reading her book. However, her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down…
