Chapter 90

Ye Bufan said, "No, I am still studying at Jiangnan Medical University and haven't graduated yet."

"This and that, how can you possibly match up to our Xiaotong?" Sun Xiaotong's father said, "Do you know how excellent our Xiaotong is now? She is a sales manager at the Qin Group.

"You must have heard of the Qin Group, right? It's the largest jewelry group in Jiangnan City, and our Xiaotong's annual salary is over 200,000 to 300,000."

After he said this, the other relatives all nodded in agreement.

"That's right, this young man's conditions are a bit lacking..."

"Young people must work hard, or they won't be able to catch up with our Xiaotong..."

"How can there be such a big gap between young people..."

Sun Xiaotong's mother said, "Alright, at least you went to university. Her Uncle has many connections in the medical industry. Today, you should show some effort.

"As long as you make Uncle happy, he can get you an internship at a top hospital, and after graduation, getting a job won't be a problem."

Sun Xiaotong's uncle was a bald middle-aged man sitting beside them. At this moment, he raised his chin with a look of arrogance.

"Young man, what do you study?"

"I study Traditional Chinese Medicine," Ye Bufan said.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine, that's a bit of a niche field now, it's hard to find a job," Sun Xiaotong's uncle said. "But fortunately, you met me.

"I am sworn brothers with the chief physician at Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and I have even had drinks with Director Xie. As long as I put in a good word for you, getting an internship there won't be a problem, and you can work there after graduation."

Sun Xiaotong's mother said, "Young man, did you hear that? Why don't you quickly offer a toast to Uncle? Your future career will depend on him."

Sun Xiaotong's father then said to the waiter, "Do you have 15-year-old Maotai?"

The waiter replied, "Yes, sir, but 15-year-old Maotai is a bit more expensive."

"A bit more expensive is fine. Getting a job is a lifetime matter, and we can't skimp on a bit of wine money." He waved his hand, "Bring me six bottles."

Ye Bufan coldly watched the people in front of him but didn't say anything.

Soon, the Maotai was brought in, and Sun Xiaotong said to him, "What are you looking at? Quickly pour Uncle a drink."

"I don't have the habit of pouring drinks for others, and I don't need anyone to find me a job," Ye Bufan said.

"Young man, if you don't have the ability, that's one thing, but how can you not understand human relations?"

Sun Xiaotong's father shook his head, seemingly very dissatisfied. He took a bottle of wine and opened it with a snap, pouring a full glass for everyone. After one round, two bottles of Maotai were already gone.

"Come, let's have a toast."

Sun Xiaotong's uncle called everyone to drink, finishing his glass in one gulp. He smacked his lips and said, "Good wine. For the sake of this wine, I'll help you.

"Here's the deal: you pay 200,000 as a favor fee, and I'll take care of the job for you."

Sun Xiaotong nudged Ye Bufan, "What are you standing there for? Quickly thank Uncle."

"No need, I don't need anyone's help to find a job," Ye Bufan said.

Hearing this, Sun Xiaotong's father's face darkened, "Young man, how can you be like this? This is a rare opportunity. Do you think it's easy to get a job at a hospital?

"If it weren't for Uncle's extensive connections and his relationship with the hospital, even 400,000 wouldn't get you any help."

Sun Xiaotong's mother put on a serious and heartfelt expression, "Young man, it's hard for college graduates to find jobs, and it's even harder for those who study Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Don't be stingy with the 200,000. You need to think long-term. Auntie is telling you, this money is worth spending."

Ye Bufan slightly shook his head. As an inheritor, how could he not see through their scheme to use job placement as a pretext to extort money from him?

Not to mention, he didn't need their help. Even if he did, throwing money away would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog, achieving nothing.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Sun Xiaotong's uncle said, "Young man, do you think 200,000 is too much?

"How about this: you pay 100,000 first, and I'll put in a good word for you. Maybe it will work."

"No need, I really don't need this job," Ye Bufan said.

Sun Xiaotong's uncle said with a pained expression, "Young man, why aren't you more ambitious? You're about to graduate. Shouldn't you be looking for a job? How will you be able to match up to our Xiaotong in the future?"

Sun Xiaotong's father said, "Young man, even though it's our first meeting, I have to say a few things to you.

"I know you might feel inferior and a bit embarrassed, but you can't live for the sake of face. Sometimes you need to let go, or you'll end up hurting yourself."

Sun Xiaotong's mother also said, "Young man, I heard from your mother that your family owns a large restaurant. You shouldn't be short of 200,000, right? Sometimes you need to invest, and you shouldn't be stingy."

Sun Xiaotong said, "Mom, don't say that. His family doesn't have a large restaurant. His mother sells buns, and they only have a bun shop.

"I know his family's situation very well since we were high school classmates.

"He can't afford to pay for this job because his family was poor when he was in school, and he can't come up with 200,000 now."

"Calling a bun shop a large restaurant is just lying. It's really infuriating. I need to drink a glass of wine to calm down."

Sun Xiaotong's father said, finishing the Maotai in front of him in one gulp.

Sun Xiaotong's uncle said, "Young man, since your family's conditions are not good, you need a stable job even more. What will you do in the future otherwise?"

Seeing that this guy still wasn't giving up, Ye Bufan said, "I really don't need this job. Even if I did, I could get into Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital without anyone's help."

"Be realistic, young man. If you can't do it, just say so. Why are you boasting?"

"Your mother sells buns. I really don't know where you get the courage to speak like this..."

"You're really full of hot air. Do you think anyone can get into Jiangnan City's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital? It's a national top hospital. Without connections, don't even think about it..."

"Being poor isn't a problem, and lacking ability is fine, but the key is to have an ambitious heart..."

Just as everyone was criticizing Ye Bufan, the door suddenly opened, and Xie Donglin walked in.

After entering, he scanned the room and quickly focused on Ye Bufan, smiling and approaching him, "Doctor Ye, I've brought your appointment letter."

He entered the private room, took out a large red appointment letter, and presented it to Ye Bufan with both hands, "Starting today, you are the honorary director of our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. From now on, I should call you Director Ye."

Ye Bufan took the appointment letter and said, "Director Xie, thank you."

Everyone in the room was puzzled, not understanding what was happening.

Sun Xiaotong glanced at the appointment letter and said sarcastically, "Ye Bufan, I really underestimated you. You went to great lengths to trick us into marriage.

"You even got yourself an honorary director position at Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Since you're making a fake certificate, why didn't you just say you were the director? That would have been more straightforward and direct!"
