Compared to General Li, a senior military officer and one of the big military region leaders, Jiang Li's parents seemed quite ordinary. Both were teachers at Ninghai No.1 Middle School.
"You are... Daughter of Teacher Jiang?"
When he found out about Jiang Li's identity, Qin Fang was also quite surprised. The reason being, Qin Fang himself was a student of Jiang Li's father, who had just finished teaching Qin Fang's graduating class.
"You're my dad's student? That's such a coincidence... Qin Fang, Qin Fang, I remember now, I think I've heard my dad mention you..."
Jiang Li was also somewhat surprised. The world really wasn't that big. In Jincheng, thousands of miles away, the two of them had met like this. Not only were they both from Ninghai, but Qin Fang was also her father's student, which made her technically Qin Fang's junior.
"Hehe, since you're my senior, help me persuade my cousin to take me out with him!"
Although Jiang Li hadn't fully blossomed yet, her current appearance could already be considered quite beautiful. She certainly didn't lose out to the pretty female military doctor beside her, and she also had an added youthful, lively charm, similar to Tang Feifei. Her beautiful eyes carried a sense of intelligence and slyness.
"Stop causing trouble. How can the three of us big guys bring such a little girl with us..."
Li Yang saw his mischievous little cousin still badgering Qin Fang for help, and his face also bore a wry smile. When three men went out together, they naturally had a lot of activities and could enjoy themselves more fully.
But bringing along a little girl meant many activities were out of the question, and it just wouldn't be as enjoyable. There was no way he would agree to this.
Jiang Li was a very clever and playful girl. Seeing her cousin speaking sternly, she put on a pitiful look, not glancing at Li Yang but instead staring at Qin Fang, twisting her clothes, making it hard for anyone not to feel sympathy for her.
"Forget it, let's take her with us. The three of us will just go out for some drinks and chats, and skip other activities! This kid isn't keen on that sort of thing anyway..."
It wasn't that Qin Fang's heart had softened. Qiao Zhenfei was the first to cave, agreeing outright and even poking fun at Qin Fang with a laugh, which made Qin Fang quite uneasy.
His first encounter with Qiao Zhenfei had been at a gambling session, and their second meeting had nearly ended in a beating at Zhang Yuliang's place, all over a woman.
And Qiao Zhenfei knew that Qin Fang's official girlfriend was Tang Feifei, the little princess of the Tang Family. It was rumored that some in the Tang Family had already given their nod of approval to their relationship, indicating that it was fairly solid.
Besides her, Qin Fang had other women, such as Xiao Muxue, as well as those girls like Miao Yue whom he had entrusted to Qiao Zhenfei's care...
Qiao Zhenfei could understand all this; he was the same way, with the home flag standing tall and colorful flags fluttering outside. He had no intention of making a big deal out of it and was merely teasing Qin Fang in passing.
"That's the case... then let's go to the Jin Cheng Salon!"
With Qiao Zhenfei's words, Li Yang naturally got the hint and immediately agreed, no longer refusing Jiang Li.
"Sister Chu, come with us!"
Jiang Li was truly delighted when Li Yang agreed, but then she turned to the pretty female military doctor beside her and invited her too.
"I have to be on duty tonight, so I won't go..."
However, the beautiful military doctor gave Qin Fang a deep look before she turned down Jiang Li's request, then left the ward without saying much else to check on other patients, seemingly quite busy.
Li Yang and Qiao Zhenfei did not stop her, as they both understood the character of this glamorous female military doctor. Once she had turned down such an invitation, no amount of persuading would change her mind.
So, Qin Fang went with Qiao Zhenfei, Li Yang, and Jiang Li, three men and one woman, driving towards their destination, the Jin Cheng Salon.
The Jin Cheng Salon was one of the most prestigious private clubs in Jincheng, occupying a status somewhat akin to Ninghai's Elite Salon. However, Jincheng, although a provincial capital, is inland and still doesn't quite measure up to the cities along the eastern and southeastern coast.
Of course, this is all relative, in reality, most activities and pleasures available outside can also be experienced here, so there isn't a substantial difference.
Jin Cheng Salon also operates on a membership basis; without a membership card, entry is not permitted. Of course, for someone like Li Yang, a military scion, it's not an issue. As a top-tier member, he can easily bring a few people in, besides, someone recognized Qiao Zhenfei as soon as they entered, so there was even less chance of being stopped.
Consequently, Qin Fang and Jiang Li also became esteemed guests of the salon, and soon they had their own silver membership cards, which allowed them to sign for expenses under one hundred thousand directly, a feature quite similar to the privilege card from Elite Salon that Qin Fang possessed.
Qin Fang and others opted for a private room, and the four of them ordered drinks and dishes, settling down to talk while drinking, but Jiang Li seemed quite bored, glancing out at the performance happening outside through the toughened glass of the private room.
When it came to drinking, Qiao Zhenfei indeed had his skills, and as a military man, Li Yang was also quite formidable. Unfortunately, they met their match in Qin Fang. After downing three bottles of Feitian Moutai, Qiao Zhenfei's face was flushed, and Li Yang was a bit tipsy, but Qin Fang still had an unchanged complexion, at most with just a slight hint of red in his cheeks.
Oh, but that bit of red wasn't from drinking, it was completely due to the high temperature set by the air conditioning, combined with the warm feeling that alcohol naturally induces, which produced this hint of flushing.
As they chatted over drinks, Qin Fang learned about some situations previously unknown to him, such as some background details of the beautiful military doctor who had been confrontational with him before.
This beautiful military doctor, with the surname Chu, was named Chu Yunxuan. Her father was a military commander, and her mother was a very famous surgeon.
Considered to be a prodigious young woman, Chu Yunxuan was only twenty-four years old, yet she had already obtained a double doctorate in medicine and pharmacology from the United States, a formidable accomplishment.
Having just returned to the country this year, she began working at the military hospital. In mere months, she progressed from an intern to a deputy chief physician, an incredibly exceptional promotion!
Of course, this was also due to her exceedingly formidable abilities. If it weren't for her capabilities, even her father being a military commander wouldn't have allowed for such a substantial jump in her career.
Perhaps due to her long stay abroad and the Western education she received, primarily in Western medicine where she has substantial expertise, even her mother, the famous surgeon, has said that Yunxuan now possesses at least eighty percent of her medical skills...
As for this, although Qin Fang hadn't met the renowned surgeon, he did use his Scouting Skill on Chu Yunxuan and obtained the following results:
"Chu Yunxuan, LV2, military doctor, Righteous Guardian Faction, Abilities: Western Medicine Level 5, Pharmacology Level 6, Pharmaceutics Level 5, Karate Level 2..."
Without a doubt, this was a female powerhouse with terrifying talents in both medicine and pharmaceutics. With two abilities at Level 5, she was nearly at Grandmaster Level, and her pharmacology had already reached Level 6 Grandmaster Level, a truly formidable woman.
Only twenty-four years old, she was the youngest master Qin Fang had encountered so far, even though she might not be aware of it herself.
What surprised Qin Fang, though, was this beauty apparently had a cold disposition, even hostility, towards traditional Chinese medicine, which puzzled him greatly since he couldn't understand why.
This could also be inferred from how Chu Yunxuan previously targeted Qin Fang; perhaps she might justify it as considering the patient's well-being, yet Qin Fang surmised there was more to it, something he didn't know about.
Chu Yunxuan was a young master, with her other two skills also nearing Grandmaster Level. Perhaps one day she would truly achieve that status and become a celebrated doctor.
However, if she aimed to become a Medical Grandmaster like Elder Ma, she still had a long road ahead, as they were not even in the same league, incomparable at all.
In terms of experience, Chu Yunxuan was leagues behind. Even her mother could be considered a disciple of Elder Ma, as many famous doctors were his students, and it's likely her mother received guidance from him too.
Chu Yunxuan's talent was undoubtedly fearsome, and she was quite young. Currently, she's the youngest master, and maybe in the near future, she might become the youngest Grandmaster.
Qin Fang was quite optimistic about her prospects, although clearly, this beauty was not on the same wavelength as him, not even willing to exchange a few words, so the kind of communication he sought was an impossibility.
However, in Qin Fang's view, such a beautiful military doctor was merely a passerby in his life, perhaps someone he would never come across again after leaving Jincheng, which didn't weigh heavily on his mind.
The drinking continued. Two more bottles of Feitian Moutai were consumed, most of which went into Qin Fang's belly. Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang together didn't manage to drink half a jin, as they were quite drunk already and continuing to compete with Qin Fang like this might knock them out.
The long night was still young, and their nightlife had just begun. They didn't want to start the night and then spend it in slumber; that would truly be a great loss.
So, the drinking turned into Qin Fang alone pouring and drinking by himself. At this point, his alcohol tolerance was quite remarkable, even without cheating through the Props Box, able to handle at least three jin, and now after two and a half jin, he had also reached his limit. To continue, he either had to cheat or end up like Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang.
The night stretched on, and the life of the night had only just started, but for them, the beginning was being spent in dreams, which would truly be too much of a pity.
Thus, the drinking became Qin Fang serving and drinking by himself. Now, his capacity for alcohol, even without using the Props Box to cheat, was also quite formidable. He could normally handle at least three jin, and having consumed two and a half jin already, he was almost at his limit. If he continued, he would either have to cheat or end up like Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang. (To be continued.
