Chapter 168: Meeting The Senior

Zhou Xu looked up in confusion and found that there was no one else opposite him. He went back to the email to double check.

Did she say she is opposite me? But I can only see Mrs. Gu, he thought.

Then as if struck by a thought, he suddenly looked up at Yan Xi.

“You…” Zhou Xu stuttered as a lot of thoughts were running through his mind.

Yan Xi raised her eyebrows. “Why? Are you surprised?”

Zhou Xu widened his eyes. After a while, he asked carefully, “Are you Senior?”

“It’s me.” Yan Xi said, “That Senior Q who you’ve been emailing to.”

Although he had already guessed it, Zhou Xu was still in disbelief when he heard this from Yan Xi.

“Mrs. Gu.” He composed himself. “Are you really not joking with me?”

“Why would I joke with you?” Yan Xi drank a mouthful of water and said with a solemn expression, “Initially, I just wanted to participate in the spinal nerve surgery, but as you can see now, Professor Qin Liang suddenly quit. The first part of the auxiliary treatment needs someone else to replace him, so I have to step in.”

“This is Gu Shen’s diagnosis and treatment record. Take a look.” Yan Xi handed the treatment record over. “The current results show that his neurons are gradually recovering, so the treatment must not be interrupted. I’ll join the specialist group, and what you need to do is focus on cooperating with me.”

Upon hearing that, Zhou Xu was relieved.

“Then.” Zhou Xu said, switching to a more respectful tone, “What do you need me to do for you?”

“Not for me, but for Gu Shen. You will tell Gu Shen that you will replace Professor Qin to perform acupuncture on him in the future.”

“Senior, my acupuncture skill…”

“Of course I won’t really let you do acupuncture.” Yan Xi paused and continued, “I’ll do acupuncture for Gu Shen myself.”

Zhou Xu looked surprised, asking, “Are you still not going to tell Mr. Gu about this?”

“That’s right.”

“But why do you insist on keeping it from Mr. Gu?”

As soon as he finished, Zhou Xu regretted asking.

He was afraid that Yan Xi would blame him for meddling with her business.

However, Yan Xi did not speak. With her eyes cast down, she seemed to be in deep thought.

As a matter of fact, she wasn’t sure either.

“I don’t think I can hide it from Mr. Gu for long.” Zhou Xu sighed. “Mr. Gu is already sending people to investigate me.”

Yan Xi was surprised. She did not expect Gu Shen to be so vigilant.

“Mr. Gu is very sensitive. He already started suspecting me from last time when I couldn’t answer his question on the data analysis problem. But I’m not so worried about that because recently, I’ve started to self-learn data analysis. You can rest assured.”

He actually started to self-learn data analysis. Yan Xi felt more admiration for Zhou Xu.

“I’m just saying this to remind you that you can’t keep secrets forever. Mr. Gu will find out sooner or later.”

Yan Xi bit her lip. After a while, she said, “I’ll tell him, but not now.” She had already made up her mind that when Gu Shen regained his mobility, she would tell him about it.

Now Gu Shen was in the middle of his treatment. She did not want something to affect his mood.

“Zhou Xu, we’re in a cooperative relationship now. I also have a favor to ask of you.”

“Please go ahead.”

“You don’t have to be so polite to me.” She revealed a smile, but her tone became more serious. “I’m Gu Shen’s wife, the person closest to him. If I act emotionally during the treatment, please remind me.”

Yan Xi found that she would feel bad for Gu Shen, and this kind of emotion would inevitably affect the treatment outcome.

She was not a robot and could not control her emotions all the time.

Zhou Xu said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I will.”

Zhou Xu felt emboldened. He inexplicably believed that with Yan Xi’s participation, they would definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of medicine.
