Zhang Yang let out a soft chuckle, though he already knew exactly which young master the woman was referring to.

When Su Zhantao gave him the car, he had mentioned that the owner of this dealership was a friend, and the fact that this woman dared to speak to him in such a manner, never once mentioning the car, made her identity virtually self-evident.

A mere employee of the shop would never dare to waste time chatting idly with a customer, especially one who was there to purchase something, instead of conducting business.

Only the owner could act without restraint like this.

Zhang Yang hadn't expected that Su Zhantao’s friend who sold cars would be a woman, and one older than himself at that.

"Mr. Zhang, you truly have a way with jokes. How could there be any other Mr. Su? But I am truly surprised to see you driving Mr. Su's car. As far as I know, he never lends this cherished vehicle to anyone, not even me!"

Yang Ling smiled sweetly, radiating a hint of allure. Her mannerisms shifted so quickly that Zhang Yang found it somewhat difficult to handle.

Zhang Yang replied, "It seems I am exceptionally honored. I must properly reward the fellow later!"

"What kind of car is Mr. Zhang looking to buy?"

Yang Ling stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. This small gesture carried a greater impact of temptation, yet she immediately pivoted to inquire about purchasing a car, which felt jarringly out of place.

"Please don't take offense at what I’m about to say, but there isn't a single car here that truly appeals to me. If I can’t find the right one, I’d rather not buy anything than settle for something mediocre!"

Zhang Yang said with a smile, gently squeezing Mi Xue's small hand.

Mi Xue had remained silent the entire time, but she kept her hand firmly clasped with Zhang Yang’s. This Yang Ling gave her an instinctive feeling of aversion; she felt this woman was even more dangerous than Liang Yan from the Kaixuan Tower.

"It seems Mr. Zhang has very high standards. As I happen to know, there will be an international auto show in Shanghai next week. If Mr. Zhang is looking for a suitable car, you might find something there!"

Yang Ling leaned lightly against a BMW parked nearby. As her body tilted, it further accentuated her perfect figure.

Especially the curve of her bust seemed unusually pronounced at that moment.

"What day next week?"

Zhang Yang’s expression remained unchanged as he asked softly.

"Sunday. Mr. Su and I will both be there. If Mr. Zhang has time, perhaps we could go together then!"

Yang Ling straightened up, a flicker of disappointment flashing unnaturally in her eyes.

Her recent actions were indeed a deliberate attempt to tease Zhang Yang, or perhaps to gauge his reaction. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang showed absolutely no response, making her feel like she was attempting to play a zither to a cow.

"No problem, I'll coordinate with Zhantao then!"

Zhang Yang nodded, and upon saying that, he immediately took his leave. Since there was nothing here that interested him, and he now knew about the upcoming auto show, there was no reason to linger.

He would rather use that time to visit the snake farm and buy some reptiles for Little Lightning to eat.

Watching Zhang Yang’s retreating back, a faint smile gradually spread across Yang Ling’s lips as she pondered something to herself.

"Zhang Yang, I really don't like that woman!"

Once they were in the car, Mi Xue suddenly spoke up, her expression rather sulky.

That woman had made several blatant attempts to seduce Zhang Yang just now, practically treating Mi Xue as if she didn't exist. If it weren't for preserving Zhang Yang’s dignity, she would have erupted long ago.

"Actually, I don't like her either, Mi Xue, rest assured. My heart belongs only to you!"

Zhang Yang smiled faintly. He completely understood Mi Xue's mood. If any man dared to flirt with Mi Xue in front of him, his fists would have already been thrown.

"Me too, my heart belongs only to you!"

Mi Xue gave a sweet smile and planted a small kiss on Zhang Yang, who was driving, causing the car to swerve slightly.

Leaving the car market, Zhang Yang quickly located a place that sold snakes and purchased twenty venomous ones. He also gave the seller an address and arranged for a batch of snakes to be delivered every ten days.

Lightning would only eat live venomous snakes, so he couldn't buy too many at once, otherwise, he would have to feed and maintain the snakes himself.

To store the provisions for Lightning, Zhang Yang specifically bought a sealed snake cage. While the venom of these snakes wasn't extremely potent, it would still be trouble if any escaped, as he wasn't the only one at home.

After buying the snakes, Zhang Yang went on to purchase some medicinal herbs. He had possessed the Three-Colored Fruit for quite some time but hadn't concocted the medicine yet, mainly due to insufficient ingredients.

Brewing this type of potent elixir required many herbs, all of which needed to be high-quality, aged ingredients.

Some pharmacies didn't stock them and required pre-ordering. Once this batch of herbs arrived, he could begin preparing the spiritual medicine.

Once the Three-Colored Fruit elixir was ready, his internal energy recovery would accelerate, and he believed it wouldn't take long to return to the peak state he had reached in his previous life.

In the afternoon, Mi Xue went to see Nannan and Xiao Dai, while Zhang Yang went to the Third Hospital alone.

He had agreed to an internship, but after only a few days of work, he had accumulated numerous leave requests, unable to guarantee even one full day of work per week.

This made Zhang Yang feel somewhat apologetic himself. He decided to visit the Third Hospital in the afternoon to check in and discuss with Director Wang how to make up for the missed work hours.

It wasn't the weekend, so the Third Hospital was busy. However, upon entering, Zhang Yang sensed that the atmosphere was much more vibrant than before. It wasn't more patients, but rather an increase in doctors and nurses.

"Dr. Zhang, you’re back!"

As Zhang Yang arrived at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, he ran into three nurses. The nurse leading the group greeted him with surprise.

"You are, Nurse Hu?"

The nurse removed her mask, and Zhang Yang immediately recognized her as Hu Ye from the OB/GYN department. It wasn't that Zhang Yang had an excellent memory; he had actually only met a few nurses in that department, and Hu Ye was the only one who had proactively greeted him before.

"Dr. Zhang, I didn't expect you to still remember me!"

Hu Ye seemed quite excited, appearing genuinely happy that Zhang Yang recalled her, which made Zhang Yang feel slightly embarrassed.

"I just noticed, why are there so many more people here?"

Zhang Yang quickly changed the subject. He hadn't been to work in nearly twenty days, and the changes he saw upon his return were significant.

"The hospital suddenly took in a large batch of interns this summer vacation, several times more than in previous years. These are Xiao Li and Xiao Wang; they are also intern nurses. They are both students from the Municipal Health School!"

Hu Ye explained immediately. The two girls beside her looked younger and regarded Zhang Yang with curiosity.

"I see. Have intern doctors also arrived?"

Zhang Yang nodded. He had almost forgotten that many schools started internships during the summer vacation. He was specially recruited by the hospital, handled through hospital procedures rather than school arrangements.

This was primarily because Zhang Yang did not possess a physician’s license, but he was certain to obtain one after completing three years of internship at the Third Hospital.

"Yes, lots of them! It seems there are students from your school too!"

Hu Ye continued explaining, detailing much information, even providing the reasons.

Because the state no longer guaranteed job placements, these students would have to rely on their own capabilities for their future careers. The Ministry of Education placed particular emphasis on their individual competence this year, thus increasing the intensity of internships.

Especially in medicine, various hospitals were assigned numerous interns, and students from each school were dispersed across different hospitals. After interning at this facility, they would move on to others.

This was intended to allow them to learn and practice more, mastering their knowledge and improving their skills quickly.

"Thank you for telling me all this. You all carry on with your work; I need to find Director Wang!"

Zhang Yang finished with a smile. The presence of a large number of interns would, to some extent, alleviate the workload pressure on the hospital's doctors. Of course, these interns weren't being used for free; they needed to have real practical opportunities.

Zhang Yang thanked them and left immediately. After he turned the corner, Hu Ye secretly stole a glance at his retreating figure.

"Sister Hu, who was that?"

After Zhang Yang had completely disappeared around the bend, a younger nurse next to Hu Ye asked in a low voice.

The other young nurse also stared intently at Hu Ye. Hu Ye’s demeanor toward Zhang Yang had been unusual just now, much warmer than her treatment of other doctors.

"Him? He’s also an intern, and he’s in our Obstetrics and Gynecology department!"

Hu Ye pursed her lips and smiled. Zhang Yang’s status at the Third Hospital was the strangest of all; although he was an intern, no one dared to treat him like one. Even the director treated him with courtesy.

"An intern? That’s impossible. We’ve met all the interns in OB/GYN this time. There were very few men, and he wasn’t among them!"

The nurse exclaimed in surprise, looking doubtfully at Hu Ye.

"He wasn't part of this new batch. He started a little less than a month before you did!" Hu Ye shook her head, causing the two younger nurses to become even more confused.

"Starting earlier still doesn't make sense. If he started earlier, we should have met him. We’ve both been here for half a month!"

The other nurse interjected. They had been interning for fifteen days and could confidently say they knew every intern, and indeed every doctor, in the department—they were certain they had never seen Zhang Yang.

"That’s because he took leave shortly after starting work. I haven't heard anything about him for almost three weeks either!"

Hu Ye chuckled softly, but the two young nurses’ eyes widened. One couldn't help but ask, "That can't be right, how could anyone take such a long leave?"

An intern daring to take three weeks off—in other hospitals, forget three weeks, even three days would likely result in the hospital letting them go. At least among all the interns they had encountered, none dared to act that way.

"He's different. Things others can't do, he can. During his internship here, he only works two shifts a week, and each shift is only half a day!"

Hu Ye’s smile grew brighter; she seemed very pleased talking about Zhang Yang. Such an intern was indeed an exceptional case at their hospital, unique.

The two young nurses exchanged glances, both noticing the shock reflected in the other's eyes. Working only two shifts a week, half a day each time—that wasn't an internship, it was practically a vacation. They had never even heard of an intern like that, let alone seen one.

Sixth update. The pace is a bit slow; friends, please forgive me. There are two more chapters to go; Little Yu will continue to work hard. Please trust that Little Yu will deliver!
