Chapter 65

Several attempts in a row were just a little off.

The street vendor hurriedly said, "Oh, just a little bit off. Why don't you try again for ten yuan? You might just get it this time."

Jiang Lingling immediately took out ten yuan. She wasn't afraid of spending more time; she was just worried that Qin Chuan might leave. Whether or not she got the prize didn't really matter to her. How could she not have seen the things on this street stall before?

Qin Chuan, on the other hand, was getting more and more excited. He suddenly realized that his control over the small bamboo rings was becoming increasingly precise. He didn't know when he had gained such precise control over his strength. He immediately understood that it must be due to the two basic movements. Although modern medicine relies more and more on advanced instruments and precise testing methods, good technique is still very important for doctors, especially for surgeons. A pair of hands that can precisely control strength is almost an invincible weapon for a surgeon. Qin Chuan couldn't be an emergency doctor for his entire life; he needed his own specialty. Although being an emergency doctor is a meaningful career, as a doctor, he should have his own specialty. With the "Genius Doctor" system, Qin Chuan's future goal naturally couldn't be limited to just CPR and intubation. It's not that Qin Chuan looked down on this job, but he could do much more.

Jiang Lingling stuffed a bunch of bamboo rings into Qin Chuan's hand: "Hurry up, you must get that teddy bear for me."

Qin Chuan carefully weighed the bamboo rings with two fingers. The rings were not uniform, especially at the joint, which was heavier than other parts. This could easily cause the ring to wobble in the air. Therefore, to make the ring steadily land on the teddy bear, he needed to control his strength even more accurately.

"No problem, if it doesn't work, try a few more times. Eventually, it will work," Jiang Lingling said.

Qin Chuan gently swung his hand, and the bamboo ring flew out very steadily. This time, the ring flew in a certain arc and then landed steadily on the teddy bear.

"Ah, you got it!" Jiang Lingling screamed and ran over quickly, grabbing the teddy bear.

"Which one do you want next?" Qin Chuan asked.

"This one, this one," Jiang Lingling said.

The vendor pursed his lips, thinking how lucky this guy was, but he was quite disdainful of Jiang Lingling's greed for more dolls: "It's already a miracle to hit once, and you want to hit again?"

But soon his mouth dropped open.

The bamboo rings seemed to follow Jiang Lingling's instructions. Whatever doll she pointed to, the ring would fly to it.

"This one, this one!"

"And this one!"

"I want this one too!"

"More!"

...

The vendor's face was ashen.

"Don't be so excessive! You're a martial arts expert, why are you picking on a small street vendor? What's the point?" The vendor grumbled in his heart, already considering Qin Chuan as a highly skilled expert.

Qin Chuan's fifteen bamboo rings flew out one after another, and there was nothing left on the stall. Jiang Lingling's hands were full of various toys.

During this process, more and more people gathered to watch. This street vendor had cheated many people out of their money every day, and today he was finally given a taste of his own medicine. To attract people, the stall still had a few genuine items, but it was rare to encounter someone with such good luck who could win a prize. Today, Qin Chuan had completely cleared the stall.

Jiang Lingling asked the vendor for a bag to put all the toys in.

"Do you have any other good things? Hurry up and put them out," Jiang Lingling said with a smile.

The vendor quickly pleaded, "It's already late, and I need to go home for dinner. Why don't you come another day?"

"Lingling, let's call it a day today. We can come back tomorrow after work," Qin Chuan said with a smile, obviously referring to the game.

But the vendor was terrified. If they came every day, he would be working for nothing. He still forced a smile: "Right, come tomorrow. I'll get a new batch of dolls." In his heart, he was planning to pack up by 5 PM the next day. If he met these two again, he would be in trouble. He secretly regretted his greed, having lost a couple of hundred yuan for just twenty yuan.

Jiang Lingling's phone rang; it was Zhou Wanqing calling.

"My mom is urging me to go home," Jiang Lingling said, looking at the number on her phone.

"Then I'll take you home," Qin Chuan said.

"Okay," Jiang Lingling nodded.

Because of the many toys, Qin Chuan had to take Jiang Lingling home.

"Qin, don't spoil her. She's already grown up, yet she's buying so many children's toys," Zhou Wanqing said, frowning at the pile of dolls and toys in Qin Chuan's hands and Jiang Lingling's arms.

"Mom, you're misunderstanding me. These weren't bought. We only spent twenty yuan. They were all won by Doctor Qin," Jiang Lingling explained, recounting how Qin Chuan had won a bunch of toys at the park.

Zhou Wanqing was delighted.

"Qin, you're so amazing?" Zhou Wanqing was also surprised at the pile of toys. It wasn't easy to win anything from that vendor.

"I was originally planning to study surgery and practiced my technique," Qin Chuan gave a casual reason.

"That's true. Some people practice their whole lives and still can't do it. If you find a surgeon, no matter how good they are, they won't be as accurate as you," Jiang Lingling said.

"That's true. Some things require talent. Qin, stay for dinner. Auntie has prepared a lot of dishes. Your uncle is busy and won't be back for dinner," Zhou Wanqing said, increasingly fond of Qin Chuan. Comparing him to Gao Zhe, who was her star student, she found Gao Zhe's feminine personality unappealing, though he was diligent. He could only be a good student, but as a son-in-law, he would cause many problems. Feminine people are often selfish and don't care for others. Qin Chuan, on the other hand, was outgoing and emotional, and filial to his parents, which was a rare and valuable quality. Zhou Wanqing, as an intellectual, had a high regard for such simple and honest qualities.

Jiang Lingling led Qin Chuan into her bedroom and asked him to help her unpack the dolls.

"No, these dolls should be washed first. Who knows how long they've been in the vendor's hands. Even though they're in plastic bags, they're quite worn out. There must be a lot of dust and even viruses inside. They're very unhygienic," Qin Chuan quickly stopped her.

"You're right. It's only you who could get these toys from him. Do you think he'll dare to set up his stall there again tomorrow? He'll probably bring new toys. Why don't we go back tomorrow?" Jiang Lingling blinked.

"Let's not. If we go again, he'll go crazy," Qin Chuan laughed.

"True. I saw his face turn green today," Jiang Lingling recalled, giggling. She had lost a lot of money in the past, and this time, seeing a return, she was naturally happy.

"Qin, Lingling, come out for dinner," Zhou Wanqing called, having prepared the meal.

Qin Chuan and Jiang Lingling walked out and saw the table filled with various dishes, a very lavish spread.

"Qin, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare much. We only have a few dishes. Just eat casually," Zhou Wanqing said, taking off her apron and hanging it in the kitchen.

"This is too much. Auntie, how can we finish all this?" Qin Chuan said.

"They're all vegetables. If we don't eat them, they won't be fresh anymore," Zhou Wanqing laughed.

Zhou Wanqing treated Qin Chuan like a son-in-law. She truly liked him and believed that if Jiang Lingling married him, she wouldn't be wronged. Although Qin Chuan's family was ordinary, they were honest and hardworking, a rare and precious quality. Zhou Wanqing, as an intellectual, had a high regard for such simple and honest qualities.

Zhou Wanqing's enthusiasm for Qin Chuan even made Jiang Lingling a bit jealous, "Mom, I'm starting to doubt if I'm your real daughter. It seems Doctor Qin has become your real son."

"So what? If Qin is willing, I'll treat him as my real son," Zhou Wanqing laughed.

Qin Chuan felt a sense of warmth at the Jiang family home.

Jiang Yudong didn't come back. As the mayor, he had a lot of responsibilities, especially with the numerous problems in Jiutan. The higher-ups were also paying close attention to the issues in Jiutan. As long as the problems in Jiutan weren't resolved, Jiang Yudong couldn't relax. However, the historical issues in Jiutan were complex, and Jiang Yudong was constrained in many ways, unable to fully exert his efforts. Many meetings had been held, but no problems had been solved.

"To resolve these unfinished projects, there are only two ways. One is to find the bosses who fled. The other is to find someone to take over. If the city has the money, it could take over, but given the current financial situation, that's not possible. So let's focus on the first option. We need to mobilize all social forces to determine where these people are and initiate a manhunt. However, this has made no progress so far. The most feasible option now is to find companies to take over these unfinished projects. The city can offer certain preferential policies to these companies. This issue must be resolved quickly; otherwise, it's like a time bomb that could explode at any moment!" Jiang Yudong said.
