What kind of master of traditional Chinese medicine? I'm just a male technician.

Chapter 1 Landlord Wang Tao

(The first few chapters advance the plot, and the rest is fast-paced, so please enjoy reading.)

Jiangcheng, Central Hospital.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

"Li Yi, pack your things and leave the hospital immediately."

Li Yi was sitting in the department, idly waiting for patients to come in, when he suddenly saw the department director, Wang Dahai, walk in.

"Director Wang, what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph! What do you mean? Don't you understand? You're fired!"

Li Yi was taken aback. "Director Wang, why is the hospital firing me? What did I do wrong?"

"Alright, you're just a college graduate, you're not even qualified to work at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. What else is there to ask? Get lost!"

Wang Dahai waved his hand impatiently, then turned and left without explaining why.

Li Yi, left in the office, was full of doubts.

Although Wang Dahai's words made a lot of sense, with his undergraduate degree, he was simply not qualified to enter the Central Hospital.

But I was hired out of nowhere.

Moreover, after only a few days of work, the hospital wants to fire me again.

What exactly is going on?

Just then, a short, stout figure walked in.

After recognizing the person who had come, Li Yi was slightly taken aback. "Liu Yuxiang, what brings you here?"

Standing less than 1.5 meters tall and weighing over 150 kilograms, Liu Yuxiang stood with her hands on her hips, looking disdainful, and said, "Hmph! Li Yi, how dare you refuse me? Well, have you received your dismissal notice yet?"

"Wait! Did you get the hospital to fire me?"

"That's right! My dad is the vice president of the Central Hospital!"

Liu Yuxiang said smugly, "Otherwise, with just a bachelor's degree, do you think you could have gotten into the Central Hospital if I hadn't put in a good word for you?"

That's it!

Li Yi now finally understands why he was exceptionally hired and why he was suddenly dismissed by the hospital.

"Li Yi, I'm giving you one more chance. If you kneel down and confess your love to me right now, I can go to my dad and ask the hospital to keep you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi was speechless.

This Liu Yuxiang was not only ugly and fat, but also had a bad temper.

He didn't want to suffer in silence while also wronging his younger brother.

"I'm sorry, Liu Yuxiang, we're really not a good match!"

"Fine, so you dare refuse me? Li Yi, let me tell you, from now on, don't even think about getting a job at any hospital!"

Now that he knew the truth about his employment, Li Yi was too lazy to waste any more time.

So, after packing his things, he left the hospital.

......

Several days passed.

Just as Liu Yuxiang had said, not a single hospital was willing to hire her.

They didn't even get a chance for an interview.

Inside the rented room, Li Yi glanced at the balance on his phone and immediately gave a bitter smile.

"There's only a little over eight hundred yuan left!"

With this amount of money, if we save and cut back, we can barely make it through another month.

However, if they still can't find a job, they'll be left with nothing but the northwest wind.

Just as Li Yi was worrying, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

"Li Yi, I know you're in there, open the door for me!"

Wait a minute! It seems I'm already two months behind on my rent.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Li Yi slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing he had overlooked something.

"If you don't open the door, I'm going to pick the lock!"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it today, Li Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door.

The next moment, a familiar figure came into view.

The woman was in her thirties, about 1.65 meters tall, with a voluptuous figure and delicate features—a stunningly beautiful young woman.

This person was Wang Tao, Li Yi's landlord.

As her name suggests, she is as ripe as a peach.

But not my wife.

"Oh, Sister Wang, what brings you here today?"

Looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him, Li Yi couldn't help but think to himself, if Liu Yuxiang had the looks of the landlady, he wouldn't be so badly treated.

"Hmph! You dare ask a question you already know the answer to? Let me tell you, if you're short even a penny of two months' rent today, you're fired!"

Wang Tao was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and perhaps because she was angry, her chest was bulging, and her already large breasts had grown even bigger.

"Sister Wang, I..."

Just as Li Yi was about to make up an excuse, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his mother.

"Sister Wang, the phone is ringing at home. I'll go answer it first."

"You answer it right here!"

"..."

Seeing Wang Tao's guarded demeanor, Li Yi had no choice but to answer the phone in front of her.

"Mom, what's wrong? Is something the matter at home?"

"Xiao Yi, everything's fine at home. It's just unusually hot this year. How are things where you are?"

"Mom, don't worry, it's not hot in Jiangcheng at all, and I keep the air conditioning on all day long."

Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Wang Tao's lips twitched, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the electric fan in the corner.

"...Work is fine too. I'll get a raise next month, so I have enough money to live on. Don't worry."

"...Okay, I'll hang up now."

Li Yi only chatted with his mother briefly, and after confirming that everything was alright at home, he hung up the phone.

He put away his phone and, seeing Wang Tao staring intently at him, gave an awkward smile.

"Sister Wang, I'm so sorry, could you please give me a few more days to pay the rent? Don't worry, I promise to pay you back in full once I find a job."

"You little punk, you clearly don't have any money, so why are you trying to put on a show of wealth?"

"Sister Wang, to be honest, my family has accumulated a lot of debt to support my university education. Now that I've graduated, I'm too embarrassed to ask my family for money again."

Wang Tao is the type of person who has a sharp tongue but a kind heart.

She had overheard the entire phone call, and now, hearing Li Yi's words, her anger subsided considerably.

"Xiao Li, it's not that I'm heartless, but you're already two months behind on your rent. My neck was already stiff these past few days, and now I've had to make several trips for this little bit of money. My head is about to explode."

"Oh, Sister Wang, you should have said so sooner! A stiff neck is easy to fix, I'll massage it for you."

"You can cure stiff neck?" Wang Tao stared at him, looking him up and down, somewhat disbelieving.

Li Yi confidently stated, "Of course! I graduated with a proper bachelor's degree, majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and massage and acupressure were compulsory courses for me."

Seeing that he spoke logically and that Wang Tao's head was indeed throbbing at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Then...can you press it for me and see?"

"Okay."

As the saying goes, poverty diminishes ambition.

Li Yi had finally found an opportunity to flatter someone, so how could he possibly miss it?

He quickly moved a chair over and let Wang Tao sit down.

"Sister Wang, a stiff neck is a type of acute cervical periarthritis, usually caused by the neck and shoulder muscles being in a state of excessive tension for a long time. Now I will press the Fengchi and Jianjing acupoints for you."

Although Li Yi had never practiced massage before, he was, after all, a legitimate traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and was very familiar with acupoints on the human body.

They also know how to treat minor ailments like stiff neck.

So he located the acupoints and pressed them firmly with both hands.

"ah--"

Wang Tao immediately let out a cry of pain.

"Sister Wang, bear with it! I'm helping you relax your muscles. It might hurt a little, but it'll be fine in a bit."

"No massage hurts this much! Are you even capable of this?"

"Sister Wang, this is due to overuse of your muscles. It will definitely hurt at first."

"Ouch! Gently, gently! Ah~"

Wang Tao kept shouting and yelling, and her shrewish voice became seductive.

If someone were unaware of the situation, upon hearing the sounds she was making, they might mistakenly believe that the person in the room was doing something naughty.

Fortunately, after the initial pain, Wang Tao gradually came to appreciate the benefits of traditional Chinese massage.

"Huh? It doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore."

"Of course! Your muscles are completely relaxed now..."

As Li Yi was speaking, a sudden "ding" sounded in his mind.
