I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 289 While on the phone...

In early summer and June, the sun was already scorching in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Student Yang, who had a peach-like face, had already begun preparing for the traditional medicine apprenticeship examination and the American acupuncturist license examination.

Although the exam is still early, the earlier you prepare for this kind of exam, the better.

She has not been studying Chinese medicine for a long time, but after the last life-saving incident, she is now a well-known Internet celebrity, and with Dr. Xu, a world-famous teacher, she can actually take the green channel.

That is to say, after practice, identification, and recommendation, he does have expertise in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

This is also one of the benefits of having a famous master as a teacher.

How can ordinary people have this opportunity, and there will be no nationally renowned Chinese medicine doctors to endorse you and go through the relevant procedures for applying, in which all kinds of relationships must be smoothed out. How can a person without any "status in the world" do it? How do you have this qualification?
  The green channel is prepared for special talents and people with special status.

Dr. Xu had mentioned to Yang Xuejun before that if she passed the medical examination, she could help easily handle it. Of course, the premise was that the medical skills were approved by Dr. Xu.

Yang Xuejun is already studying very hard. As a medical seed, she has amazing potential. This talent was not discovered in the past.

Medical seeds are selected from one of a million people and are rare in the world.

They don't have a system, but their talent is comparable to a system. Once the seeds of medicine sprout, they are beyond the reach of ordinary doctors.

Compared with the master-to-teacher examination, the acupuncturist examination in the United States has nothing to do and requires real skills.

This exam actually has three test sites and two times in China. One is held in Shanghai in April every year, and the other is held in the Imperial Capital and Hong Kong in September every year.

Why is the American acupuncturist examination set up in China?

Because China is the source of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a large talent pool here.

If Yang Xuejun can get the graduation certificate in July, provide relevant information and send it to NCCAOM for ICD academic evaluation, apply for the clean needle exam, and participate in the one in the Imperial Capital in September, the academic evaluation will pass the application in October at the earliest and obtain the admission ticket. And sign up for the adaptive theory test.

After successfully passing the clean acupuncture examination and theoretical subjects, you can obtain an acupuncturist certificate as soon as October, and obtain a registered acupuncturist license in January of the following year.

The shortest time is about 6 months.

There are many academic masters who have successfully completed it in 6 months and successfully obtained the American acupuncturist license. After the license was mailed, I embarked on my journey to the United States.

The five most profitable states for acupuncturists in the United States are Tennessee, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and California.

In the highest state, Tennessee, the average salary for acupuncturists is US$124670 per year, while in the lowest state, California, the average salary is only US$91260 per year.

Even if it is only [-] US dollars, it is equivalent to more than [-] RMB.

Of course, this is the data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on migrant workers, and those who own their own medical clinics are not included in this list.

It is still very promising to go to the United States to make money and then return to live in China.

"I don't know if it's too late. Alas, I haven't mentioned it to Teacher Xu yet. If it doesn't work, we can only delay it by another year. One year later will give us more time, absolutely!" Yang Xuejun couldn't help but cheer up and waved his little fist.

The NCCAOM exam is actually very broad, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis and therapy, etc. There is a lot to prepare for.

It was like catching a bus. The bus arrived at the stop and was about to leave, but she was still far away. Some people will give up because they can’t catch up anyway and simply wait for the next one. But some persevere and try to catch up.

The worst thing is that I can't catch up, but I tried my best anyway.

The reality is that people who work hard often really catch up. Those who give up can really only waste a lot of time, standing in the cold wind and continuing to wait for the next bus.

It is also early summer in June, and San Francisco still feels like spring, with an average temperature of 11°C to 21°C, a typical cool-summer Mediterranean climate.

The annual Lianhe Street Free Music Festival has begun again.

This is one of the most well-known free music festivals in San Francisco. So far, the Union Street Music Festival has spanned 46 years.

Many artistic young people poured in, and many niche bands began to show their talents.

Iris Clinic also applied to participate!
  The main thing is that this year, the big star Talia is here.

Thalia is a great singer and songwriter, and many of the blockbusters she has starred in have her soundtracks.

Although her singing is not top-notch, and her acting skills are slightly inferior to hers, she is one of the best singers among actors. With her beautiful appearance, her popularity has always been high, and she is vaguely expected to become a future queen. trend.

This time, Talia was naturally the lead singer, and Zhou Qiao brought the big red cowhide war drum from the clinic over and played the drums in harmony.

His drumming is getting better and better.

Ling Qingqing plays the guzheng, and the four beauties of iris dance with her.

In addition, Ling Qingqing also found a boy to play the flute.

As soon as this combination came out, I went there and it absolutely blew up the streets and attracted countless tourists.

Many people liked it, took photos or recorded videos: "What kind of group is this? They actually brought Thalia here? Oh, Iris Band, why do they sound so familiar?"

"It's not like a band, but more like a clinic, haha!"

"Isn't it the famous Iris Clinic in San Francisco?"

"The songs they sing are so beautiful!"

“It’s pretty cool when they treat illnesses!”

"I'm going to let the horse trample the flying swallow! The cow!" A Chinese student recognized the famous dance and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What is a horse stepping on a flying swallow?" a foreign friend asked curiously.

The Chinese international student explained the meaning of this word: "It is also called Pegasus stepping on swallows. Look at her dance just now, is it like a Pegasus jumping into the sky and stepping on the back of a flying swallow?"

"This allusion comes from a bronze vessel from the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1800 years ago. It is also called Ma Chao Longque and Lingyun Galloping Horse. If you have the opportunity to travel to China, you must go to the museum to see this, but you can only see it from the side, not from the front. "

"why is that?"

"Well, he looks more handsome from the side!"

"I know, kill with a side face."

Thalia curled her lips slightly, because she felt that her limelight was almost overshadowed by the four beauties of Iris. Fortunately, she has accumulated a lot of popularity over the years, otherwise, she would really be unstoppable.

As for Ling Qingqing, she was "too embarrassed to see people" anymore. She had the foresight to already wear a thin veil, an ancient costume, and a flying bun to increase her sense of mystery.

If he really wanted to take off his veil, he would be pinned to the ground and rubbed by those five women every minute. In terms of appearance, they are really not on the same level.

As for Zhou Qiao, well, no one is looking at him. Except women.

As for the boy Ling Qingqing found, he had closed his eyes and was completely immersed in the playing of the flute. No one looked at him at all.

While playing, the boy secretly regretted that if he had known this, he should have covered his face with a veil like Ling Qingqing.

However, it was too girly for a boy to wear a veil. He thought that if there was a next time, he would customize a bronze mask to wear. It would be retro and cool, just like King Lanling, and it would also increase his attention.

The six girls in the same group are both male and female.

Park Yoona also came to the music festival under the leadership of her mother, and applauded Zhou Qiao and the others in the crowd, cheering them on. She has already had summer vacation and will enter fifth grade in the second half of the year.

The eleven-year-old girl is almost [-] meters tall and looks very slim.

If you dress up a little more maturely, you can fall in love.

Of course, Park Soo-joo's tutoring is stricter, and although Yoona looks mature, her mentality is still that of a fourth-grade elementary school student. She focuses on her studies and doesn't have so many miscellaneous thoughts at all.

After the music festival, Talia bought a big cake and came to the hospital to visit little Njeli.

I want to celebrate her "birthday".

With everyone's joint efforts, little Njili recovered well and was able to get out of bed, stand for a minute or two, and walk slowly for a dozen steps.

Of course it hurts, but for her, this is already the beginning of a "new life"!
  So, at Thalia's suggestion, June 6, the day she stood up, was chosen as her new birthday. In other words, she can now celebrate two birthdays a year.

In addition, Zhou Qiao, Murphy, Stephanie, Elena, Ava, and Kim Jizhen were all present.

In order to give little Eunjali a companion, Cathy held the hand of little Danielle. Park Xiuzhu took Yoona and let the two children, Yoona and little Danielle, accompany little Eunjali through this period. Pleasant afternoon.

"I wish you a happy new life, and I wish you a happy new life..." Everyone sang an adapted birthday song. Finally, little Njeli closed her eyes and made a wish, then opened her mouth and blew out the candles in one breath.

Little Njeli's mother was responsible for shooting the video. She used a cheap mobile phone, but what she recorded was an extremely precious scene that is worth cherishing for a lifetime.

Seeing this beautiful scene and her daughter's happy smile, little Njeli's mother let her tears of happiness flow.

However, little Eunjeli couldn't stand or sit for a long time. After sharing the cake, she lay on the bed again with the help of Park Soo-joo and Jin Ji-jin, shook the bed, and leaned on it to enjoy the delicious dessert. .

……

"I'm really happy these days in San Francisco. Joe, thank you for sending me back." Downstairs in the hotel, Talia sat in the passenger seat, reluctant to leave.

Zhou Qiao had already obtained his driver's license, and he often practiced and raced on the Pacific Coast Scenic Highway No. 1 with a few girls. With his driving skills, driving in the city became more relaxed and enjoyable.

"Why don't you go up and sit down?" Thalia's blue-green eyes were deep, as bright as autumn water, and she was filled with spiritual energy as she looked forward.

During her stay in San Francisco, she had been staying in hotels for no other reason than convenience.

A dedicated waiter comes every day to clean, change bedding, toiletries, etc. Refrigerators, stereos, leather sofas, washing and drying machines and other facilities are also available.

"I live in a deluxe suite. It's very nice. Why don't you go up and have a look?" Thalia said boldly and slightly seductively. I thought in my heart that if Zhou Qiao didn’t agree, I would lose my face.

Do you really think that because I am an American, I am not ashamed?
  Turning around to look, seeing Zhou Qiao remaining calm, Talia wailed in her heart, saying that this man is really hard to pick up. If it were another man, with a big star like me in front of me, and given such a chance, why not? He immediately pounced on me like a bull?

Just when she was about to give up, Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and said, "Then go up and make some noise."

Thalia looked away, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up, and she thought to herself, after coming here for so many days, she was finally willing to go upstairs with me. Zhou Qiao parked the car, followed Talia, and took the elevator.

Along the way, Thalia was naturally wearing a big hat, sunglasses and a mask. Her agent also stayed in this hotel before, but recently he left because of something else.

Mainly to help Talia pick up a film and negotiate with the other party. In addition, to help little Njili and do charity, the promotional video has been edited and now needs to be released and operated.

These are all technical tasks, and Thalia has never been too lazy to participate.

This agent was introduced by my cousin Adriana, and he is the kind of person you can trust.

Adriana is a secret agent and has long investigated the other party thoroughly. She also chooses a gold medal agent with both ability and moral character. How should I put it, after so many years of cooperation, there has never been any problem.

If Talia's fans knew that she brought a man into her hotel room at night, their jaws would probably drop.

Because Thalia has an oriental personality and is a conservative Puritan in the United States, and she is still a virgin.

However, when she met someone she liked, Talia decided to make an exception for Zhou Qiao.

Enter the room and close the door. Thalia was relieved, took off her hat, sunglasses, and mask, and smoothed her long, straight hair, looking elegant and graceful.

She has Western bones and Eastern skin, integrating Eastern and Western aesthetics. Her white dress is better than snow, and she has a fairy spirit. She turns around and is right on the aisle, looking at Zhou Qiao affectionately with her blue-green eyes.

The long-lost system once again popped up a golden virtual panel in Zhou Qiao's mind: "Talia's current favorability is 100."

Zhou Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward to embrace this American girl with oriental temperament and fairy spirit. She was as soft as a bone, with the warm fragrance of soft jade, and the burning fire of dry wood that ignited at the touch of a touch.

The room suddenly felt full of spring.

During the passionate kiss, Thalia's phone rang.

"It's really disappointing." Thalia didn't even look at it, just touched it with her hand and pressed it down.

Unfortunately, not long after, the phone rang again.

Thalia pressed it down again. After a moment, the phone rang again. The caller ID was my best friend Jenna.

"Oh my God, what's going on with Jenna?" Talia thought for a while and said apologetically to Zhou Qiao, "I'll answer the phone."

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Then, Talia picked up the phone, pressed the connect button, and started talking to her best friend Jenna.

Jenna cried as soon as she answered the phone.

"What's wrong with you?" Thalia asked worriedly.

"I failed to express my love, woo woo, so sad. Thalia, my dear best friend, I urgently need your comfort now." Jenna cried.

Thalia had no choice but to comfort and enlighten her. Who knows that she doesn’t have many friends? Jenna is one of the best friends she has.

Suddenly, Zhou Qiao came over quietly and hugged her from behind.

Thalia was surprised and happy at the same time. She did not refuse, but twisted her slender waist slightly naughtily.

"Dear Jenna, don't be sad. There are a lot of good men. I'll introduce you to one later. Well, when I get back, I'll treat you to dinner, oh~..." Thalia suddenly moaned softly and started to breathe quickly.

Jenna: "Honey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Thalia: "No, no...I'm in the gym...exercising...well, running on the treadmill while talking to you on the phone..."

Talia turned back and glared at Zhou Qiao, but Zhou Qiao ignored her and became bolder.

Zhou Qiao was very surprised. Talia looked innocent, but he didn't expect to be so predictable.

Especially, this is a big star, different from the other girls.

Talia endured (enjoyed) Zhou Qiao's interruption while having to chat with the clingy Jenna.

Jenna: "Talia, what are you doing? Have you been running for so long? Why don't you take a break?"

"No... I like running... Ah~... I didn't complete today's goal... I can't give up halfway... otherwise there will be no... effect of losing weight..."

Talia couldn't stand it anymore and had to forcibly interrupt the chat with Jenna: "Hey, hey, I can't hear you. It must be because the signal is not good... I'll hang up now and we'll talk later..."

So, he couldn't wait to hang up the phone and looked back at Zhou Qiao helplessly. She said in her heart, Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou, I never thought that you are so bad, but you can be so...interesting!

The dry fire burned brightly again.

However, not long after the burning, Talia's phone rang again. Another string of hang-ups.

Zhou Qiao glanced at her and whispered, "It's your agent calling. Why don't you answer it and listen to what she has to say."

"Okay." Talia was helpless, wondering why there were so many calls today. Did God do this on purpose? I can't help but feel comfortable.

"Then don't go too far. If Boyanka hears something unusual, it will be bad. She has always prevented me from falling in love. She can't even have scandals. She said it would affect my acting career."

"Then we'll fall in love secretly."

Thalia nodded and answered the phone.

However, Zhou Qiao, this bad guy, did not calm down. He went even further than before, and Talia's face turned red from holding back. But he didn't want to break away. The conscious mind wanted to break free, but the body was too honest and actually disobeyed the order.

"Talia, why are you just saying yes and not giving me any advice? Are you satisfied with the character and the script?" Agent Boyanka wondered what Talia's attitude is. I'm busy outside. I'm busy, you just deal with me like this?
  Thalia took a deep breath and finally said a normal word: "Satisfied..."

"OK. Have you seen the charity video I sent you? I did all the behind-the-scenes editing. How about it? Is your sister's level high? Is she awesome?"

"Awesome, very awesome!" Talia said, but she glared at Zhou Qiao with her charming blue-green eyes, making a pun.

For more than twenty minutes, Talia finally said goodbye to her chat with Boyanka, and then concentrated all her energy on preparing for a fierce battle with Zhou Qiao.

"Dr. Zhou, I leave it to you today." Talia closed her eyes and began to enjoy herself.

However, soon, the phone rang again.

"Oh my god..." Thalia is going crazy. What kind of luck is this? There are so many calls tonight?
  She didn't want to answer it at first, but she couldn't help but glanced at it and saw that it was her mother.

So, I had to pick it up.

Because I just had a phone call with my mother yesterday. Generally speaking, after a phone call with my mother, my dear mother will not disturb her again for at least a week, because her mother also has her own life.

This call came again today, and it was different from the previous frequency. Talia suddenly had a bad premonition, thinking that something would happen, right?

As soon as the call was connected, sure enough, her mother cried: "Dear little baby, please come back quickly. Your grandpa suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital ICU for rescue. The doctor said his condition is very serious."

Talia's spring mood suddenly disappeared. Zhou Qiao felt something was wrong and quickly let go.

Thalia glanced at him gratefully. She was really not in the mood now. Thank you Joe for your understanding.

Zhou Qiao gently touched her hair to express comfort.

"Mom, I'll drive back right away. Please tell me what's going on." Thalia stood up and moved anxiously.

"You come here first. I'm in a very confused mood right now. I don't know how to explain it. I'm about to lose my ability to organize my words..." Talia's mother began to cry.

"Okay, okay, I'll be right away, I'll be there overnight."

"It's better to say goodbye, it's too late." Thalia's mother suddenly worried about her daughter again. After all, her daughter is a big star, and American nights, whenever darkness falls, become less peaceful.

Although driving, in case something happens along the way. A girl at night.

"It's okay, I have bodyguards." Talia glanced at Zhou Qiao and said.

"It's good if you have bodyguards. We'll wait for you at the hospital, um, Kaiser Medical Center in Sacramento." Talia's mother said.

After Talia hung up the phone, Zhou Qiao came over and held her in his arms: "I hope grandpa is safe and sound. I will accompany you there."

"Well." Talia glanced at Zhou Qiao with a melancholy but grateful expression, and said after thinking for a moment, "Do you want to go back to pack your luggage? Maybe, you will stay for a while."

"Give me half an hour, and I'll be right back to meet you." Zhou Qiao just did it and left immediately.

Thalia looked at his back, reluctant to leave, but she was happy at the thought of a journey for the two of them soon. But when I thought about my grandfather's condition, I suddenly felt unhappy again.

"I hope grandpa can survive until Joe rushes over." Talia did not trust the doctors at Kaiser Medical Center and felt that it would be better for Zhou Qiao to be present in person.

Then, I couldn't help laughing again.

Why are there so many things going on tonight? I and Qiao are really having a lot of troubles. However, I’m really not in the mood now, so I’ll talk about it later when I have a chance.

There was no way her grandfather was lying in the ward while she was having fun with a man outside. How could that be justified? I can't get over that hurdle in my heart.

Soon, Zhou Qiao came back and drove his own off-road vehicle.

In addition, Ariel drove a car to follow.

Elena and Ava were worried when they heard that Talia's grandfather was critically ill, and even called to care about Talia.

But Thalia was really not in the mood, so she simply mentioned it and expressed her gratitude to the twin girls for their concern.

"Dear Thalia, don't worry too much. As long as Joe rushes over, you should be safe." Elena comforted. They naturally looked down upon Zhou Qiao and felt like they were blindly worshiping him.

You know, less than two years ago, Zhou Qiao had just taken over the Iris Clinic. As Zhou Qiao's constant companions, they knew exactly what the situation was like at that time.

Although the current development of Iris Clinic is not as high as it was when Aunt Zhou Qiao was there, it cannot be compared to the same in terms of financial resources, medical skills, reputation, connections, and status in the medical circle.
