Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again

Chapter 35: Getting a Job Through the Back Door

"Chief Steward, just let our Young Miss try!" Mo'er did not know why Liu Shimei wanted to be an apprentice in the National Medical Hall, but since the Young Miss wanted to do it, she would speak up for her master!

The Head Shopkeeper had to give some face to the future Princess, but when facing a servant like Mo'er, the Chief Steward did not hold back. "Go, get out of here. What does a little girl like you know?! Eldest Young Miss Liu, you're the future Princess Dun Yu. Even if our National Medical Hall keeps you here, who would want to see you? I'm just afraid that the patients will be scared away when they see you!"

Mo'er was not happy when she heard this and was about to argue.

Liu Shimei tugged on her sleeve and said, "Let's go."

Mo'er was stunned by her reaction.

These two days, she had already gotten used to the Eldest Young Miss's domineering and mighty appearance. Every time, she would scold others until they had no power to fight back. Now, she was going to let it go like this?

Liu Shimei pulled Mo'er out of the National Medical Hall, and Mo'er asked in confusion, "Young Miss, that Chief Steward's choice of words might sound good, but he's actually mocking you! Why did you just endure it?"

"If I can't bear it, should I have rushed over and hit him? Do you really think that your Young Miss is someone who disdains the entire world?" Liu Shimei laughed.

One also had to look at the target when picking a fight!

Putting aside her bad reputation, the Liu family's Eldest Young Miss was only known for her talent in arts and literature. No one had ever heard that she could treat illnesses. Who would believe that she had the ability to suddenly come and say that she wanted to treat illnesses?

It was normal for the Chief Steward of the National Medical Hall to look down on her. There was no enmity between them, so there was no need to pick a fight with them.

But in the future, she would use her strength to prove herself to the world. It would be like a slap on their faces. Hopefully, this Head Shopkeeper's face would not hurt!

"Mo'er, which medical hall is the largest after the National Medical Hall?" she asked again.

"Only the biggest one?" Mo'er pursed her lips and suddenly thought of something. "Aside from the National Medical Hall, it's the Zheng Medicine Hall! I have a distant relative working there, maybe he can help you get in?"

Liu Shimei was speechless.

So, she had to go through the back door to get a job?

No matter what, what she needed now was an opportunity. There was no way she would become fat in one meal. Somehow, she had to squeeze her way into the industry, only then could she show her face in the circle, right?

"Let's go and try."

After a while, the two of them came to a medical hall. There was indeed a plaque hanging on it that said 'Zheng Medicine Hall'. compared to the size of the National Medical Hall, it was like comparing a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise.

The area was a little smaller and not as grand, but it was no worse than the National Medical Hall in all aspects.

Liu Shimei thought to himself, 'Since they're labeled as the number one outside of state-owned enterprises, their attitude toward me might be similar to that of the National Medical Hall! I'm still the eldest daughter of the Liu family after all.'

She did not go in. Instead, she said, "Mo'er, let's not be in a hurry. I'll go and change my clothes first. I don't need to go as Liu Shimei."

Mo'er thought about what had happened at the National Medical Hall and silently agreed with her master's actions.

The two of them went to change into their disguises.

The main thing was that Liu Shimei had changed into a low-key outfit and made some adjustments to her facial features. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that she was the Eldest Young Miss Liu.

Only then did she return to the Zheng Medical Hall.

"Mo'er, quickly go and ask if they're recruiting apprentices. Or, you can ask them to directly hire you as a doctor!"

Mo'er went to find her relatives and led Liu Shimei into the inner hall. Not long after, a steward entered the inner hall.

Compared to the Chief Steward of the National Medical Hall, the steward of the Zheng Medical Hall was much more amiable. He did not know Liu Shimei's identity, but he did not look down on her at all.

The manager came out and sized up Liu Shimei, then asked, "We have enough doctors and physicians in the Zheng Medical Hall, but Doctor Du just so happens to be looking for an apprentice. It doesn't matter if it's a man or woman, so you can go and try."

Liu Shimei nodded. "Thank you, Chief Steward. Let me try. If it doesn't work, I'll leave immediately. I won't stay and waste your time."

"Very well. Follow me," the steward said.
