There was only one sign at the entrance of Lower Groove Alley. Both sides of the alley were lined with shops. As they walked further into the alley, there were bright and spacious convenience stores that young people liked, as well as small shops that sold goods from a single window.
Many middle-aged and elderly people had lived here for many years, but their lifestyles and ways of making a living had not changed much. If they were not careful, they would be stuck in the city's capillaries because of the tide of the times. In the eyes of many people, they became the scars and wounds of the city.
Tian Qi's aunt entered the alley. After taking a few steps, she saw a crack in the road, and dirty water had accumulated.
She looked at Tian Qi with a smile and said, "I can't imagine what those designers would look like if they saw their carefully designed high heels step into a puddle like this."
"Now that I come to Lower Groove, I usually don't wear thin heels. As long as I don't wear thin heels, I'll find it convenient," Tian Qi answered calmly. Then, she said, "This place has already been repaired. Before last year, the alley was even messier."
"You repaired it?"
"The city government wants to create a new document, and there are special funds for it. It's just that the repair was not very good, and it broke in such a short time. "Tian Qi shook her head slightly and said," They didn't think about the quality of the shoes, let alone the price-to-performance ratio. "
"Yun Hua is already considered good." Tian Qi's aunt used this topic to continue, "The government is like a person. Often, it's hard for you to change a child from an ordinary family. Similarly, it's also very difficult for him to change you."
Tian Qi's aunt laughed out loud. "Ling Ran is not ordinary."
"I know. My sister told me about it, and Guozheng also praised him. He said that he's very handsome and has great medical skills, right?" Young aunt said seriously, "But in my opinion, these two points are the most useless."
Tian Qi was not surprised. "Oh," she said.
There were many people in a big family, and they had all kinds of thoughts. Young aunt, for example, belonged to the conservative faction in the family. It was also the main reason why her parents asked her to visit Ling Ran.
Young aunt saw that Tian Qi did not seem to care about it, and she said anxiously and helplessly, "It's not that you can't find a handsome man, but handsome can't be used as a main factor, right? There are many handsome men everywhere, and it's best to find a handsome man. No, actually, it's not that important."
Tian Qi did not say anything.
Little Aunt continued, "Medicine is even more useless. If someone majored in finance and management, it would be easy for him to develop in the family. He could even become a lawyer or a civil servant. What about a doctor? Tell me, what can a doctor do? Can he be compared to those world-renowned hospitals and famous doctors? "
Tian Qi said without hesitation, "Ling Ran has always been a world-renowned doctor. Brother-in-law's … "
"I know. Your uncle is an idiot. He's probably giving you face." Young aunt saw that Tian Qi's expression was unhappy. She thought about it and added, "Of course, he might be quite good in a certain specialized field of medicine, but that's not something rare. We can find as many young people as we want who have achievements in a certain specialized field. Doctors …"
"Almost there." Tian Qi pointed to the front and interrupted her aunt. She said, "I asked someone to help design their clinic."
The silver-white Lower Groove Clinic had a unique design. It was simple and elegant, and it seemed to be in harmony with its surroundings. In terms of design, it could be said to be excellent.
However, little aunt only glanced at it and did not say anything.
Just as she had said, all of this was too ordinary for her or the Tian family.
Tian Qi did not care about this.
She lived in a big family, and there were all kinds of voices around her since she was young. It was very difficult to eliminate a sound, or even block a sound.
When she became an adult, Tian Qi's right to speak in the family gradually increased. She also had all kinds of lobbyists around her. Some of them were relatives, some were friends, some were subordinates, and some were even semi-strangers whom she met by chance.
In the face of great benefits, there would always be people who would sacrifice their lives just to increase their chances of winning by ten percent.
Unlike her parents' generation, Tian Qi's solution to these problems had always been more defensive than aggressive. Most of the time, she would pretend to listen, but when she made a judgment, she would try her best to take all kinds of factors into consideration.
This was a talent that very few people could achieve, and it was also one of the reasons why Tian Qi was increasingly recognized by the family.
When everyone felt that they could exert their influence, the person who focused their attention on them would have the greatest influence.
Just like now, little aunt was also exerting her influence.
"Young Mistress, I'll go in and take a look first." The captain of the bodyguards who was in charge of little aunt stood up.
Little aunt looked at Tian Qi.
Tian Qi smiled noncommittally and said, "Try not to affect the patients and the doctors. When you meet older people, you must respect them. Yes, respect the old and love the young."
The captain of the bodyguards looked at little aunt helplessly.
"You can't afford to offend any of the people inside. Go. " Little aunt did not give him the right to do whatever he wanted. Even she herself could only watch, but she did not dare to bear the crime of causing trouble.
The captain of the bodyguards could only choose two of his most capable subordinates. They exerted all their strength and slowly walked into Lower Groove Clinic with eyes and ears all over their bodies.
It was as if all the people in the alley had gathered in the clinic.
Some were queuing up for massages and chatting, some were chatting to buy medicine, some were chatting with family members who were receiving transfusions, and some were chatting when they had nothing to do …
The captain of the bodyguards was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"There are too many people here." His subordinate who came with him could not help but say, "There's no need to deliberately target them. If a few troublemakers come and wander around, they can squeeze the sh * t out of us."
"Lower Groove CBD is not a joke." The old man standing by the door looked at the three men's suits and said in a boastful tone, "This is Lower Groove. It's equivalent to Chang 'an Street in Beijing or Nanjing Road in Shanghai, understand?"
"Understood." The captain of the bodyguards turned around and said to the two men, "Go and call a few more people in, according to the standard for going to Joy City."
"Our family doesn't go to Joy City," the subordinate muttered, but he still went to call more people.
After a while, Tian Qi and her young aunt entered Lower Groove Clinic while surrounded by a large crowd.
"I told you that Miss Tian Qi is here." The old man at the door did not even move. He was happy when he saw Tian Qi.
"Grandpa Wang." Tian Qi greeted him.
"Yes, yes, yes." The old man nodded happily. He pointed behind him and said, "You're looking for Young Ran, right? He's in the garage."
"Okay." Tian Qi smiled around, just like how she did in school.
Little aunt followed Tian Qi closely. She quietly shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's too complicated."
Tian Qi smiled but did not say anything. She also smiled at little aunt. …
The group of people entered the garage without any obstructions. When they entered, they were stopped by a man in a surgical gown. "What are you doing?"
"Is Doctor Ling here?" Tian Qi stood up.
"Oh! Miss Tian Qi. " The man quickly said, "We're performing surgery. If you come in, be quiet. Just stand by the door. Don't go in to avoid pollution."
"I'll go in with my aunt." Tian Qi and little aunt walked into the garage curiously. The captain of the bodyguards was worried, so he stuck his head out to look at them.
"Do you still remember me?" The man looked at Tian Qi with embarrassment and anticipation.
"Hmm …" Tian Qi hesitated. Usually, someone would remind her in such a situation.
The man was not angry. He chuckled. "We haven't seen each other many times. I might even wear a mask. Actually, you'll know when I tell you. I'm … the dog anesthetist. "
"Oh!" As expected, Tian Qi immediately remembered.
The dog anesthetist laughed honestly, and he looked very proud.
Little aunt could not help but cover her mouth and nose. "Why are you performing surgery here?"
"There's no other way. We can't use a human operating theater. "The dog anesthetist shrugged.
At this time, they walked around the car parked at the entrance and looked at the operating table seriously.
Under the blue drape, the furry head was not a human head, but a dog head that was baring its teeth.
Little aunt even wanted to cover her eyes this time.
Ling Ran had just cleaned up the broken bones. He raised his head, smiled, and said, "Dong Sheng brought the dog here. Its leg is broken."
Little aunt was stunned for a moment, and she could not help but put her hand down.
"I didn't expect Doctor Ling to perform surgery on a dog …" Tian Qi said and looked at little aunt. She asked, "Should we go up and wait?"
"No." Little aunt looked at Ling Ran and answered firmly. After a few seconds, she explained in a low voice, "I can't stand seeing a loving man."
"A loving Doctor Ling is indeed very handsome." Tian Qi agreed with this.
Little aunt nodded faster and more frequently than Tian Qi. She could not help but hold Tian Qi's arm and whispered in her ear, "He looks like me when I was blinded by love."
"What?"
"I'm talking about that dog." Little aunt held her heart. "It's lying there, and it looks so happy."
