Chapter 23 - A Buddha Giving Life to Thousands of Households (1/2)

Zhang Jun said, “I’ve never thought that Xu Bo is such a brutal person. Without Mr. Zhang’s help, I will not survive. Many thanks. If you need any help in the future, I will be at your service anytime.”

Zhang Wu scanned him and said, “Just call me Zhang Wu. Mr. Hua is my boss who saved my life. Since he intends to take you as his disciple, I hope you can take advantage of this hard-won opportunity.”

“Mr. Hua has superb medical skills and I will think it over.” Zhang Jun replied.

“My boss has more than medical skills. If you can become his disciple, you will get something that you cannot imagine in your life. By that time, people like Chen Fusheng cannot hold a candle to you.”

Zhang Jun’s heart throbbed. How awesome Mr. Hua was. Even his disciple could overshadow the son of a district mayor.

As the door of the elevator opened, Zhang Wu handed a name card to Zhang Jun, saying, “Here, you can contact me on this number.”

Zhang Jun accepted the name card and took his leave.

When returning to the reunion party, Zhang Jun didn’t see Zhou Hong or Liu Ting, the rest gathering in small groups and chatting with each other.

Lin Xian was talking with Ma Baorui when she saw Zhang Jun. Then she walked toward him with a smile, asking him caringly, “Are you ok?”

Zhang Jun nodded, “I’ve just met an old friend.”

Women were as curious as cats and Lin Xian was no exception. She couldn’t help asking him, “Are you Zhang Wu’s friend?”

Shaking his head, Zhang Jun said, “It’s another man called Hua Buyi, a doctor.”

Hearing this, Lin Xian was surprised and murmured unconsciously, “The miracle-working doctor Hua, known as A Buddha Giving Life to Thousands of Households.

Zhang Jun knew little about Hua Buyi. As he saw Lin’s expression, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes, “A Buddha Giving Life to Thousands of Households? ”

Lin Xian exhaled gently, “The unusual master you have mentioned before is miracle-working doctor Hua, am I right?”

Zhang Jun smiled without denying or admitting. It was not bad if Lin Xian took it this way.

Lin Xian thought Zhang Jun tacitly admitted it, so she continued, “The miracle story of doctor Hua spreads across the social circle of upper class. My uncle in the Capital City says that there is no disease that cannot be cured by doctor Hua. People respectfully address him as Miracle-Working Doctor Hua for his miraculous medical skills. Travelling across many places, doctor Hua has saved tens of thousands of lives, thus being regarded as A Buddha Giving Life to Thousands of Households.”

When Zhang Jun was whispering to Lin Xian, Chen Fusheng was peering at them, wondering the relationship between Zhang Jun and Hua Buyi, with shock still lingering in his mind.

Thanks to his father-in-law, an official at the provincial level, Chen Zhigao, Cheng Fusheng’s father, could ascend to the mayor of Qing Long District, Donghai. Cheng Fusheng had been living with his grandparents since childhood and hearing about the stories of Hua Buyi for many times. What could frighten his grandfather was the strong power of Hua Buyi, instead of his exceeding medical skills.

His grandfather once told him a story about Hua Buyi. When the grandson of a sub-national leader got ill and no medical experts could identify its cause, he sent subordinates for Hua Buyi in the hope of curing his grandson with his superb medical skills. However, Hua Buyi was unable to leave within a short time because he was curing a deadly disease for an unimportant person. He could not bear to see his grandson full of pain any longer, thus sending his security guard to take Hua Buyi to treat his grandson. Unexpectedly, instead of taking Hua Buyi away, the security guard was dismissed. Even that important person was criticized by the national leader, his political career almost coming to an end.

In the end, that important official had no choice but to come around to apologize to Hua Buyi, which caused a stir in the Capital City. Hua Buyi also cured the grandson of that important person. Later, they had built a friendship.

This story left a deep impression on Chen Fusheng who knew that Hua Buyi could pull some strings and had immense power.

“How could Zhang Jun know Hua Buyi? What’s more confusing is Hua Buyi’s courteous attitude toward him.”

He was puzzled why a person from a lower social class could have connections with Hua Buyi and meet such important people as Mr. Li.

Chen Fusheng never took Zhang Jun seriously even when he later knew that Zhang Jun was familiar with Zhang Wu, the underground tycoon in Donghai. However, Zhang Wu was not powerful enough to make Chen Fusheng look up to him.

Because a gangster couldn’t outwit an official in this country.

But his thought had been changed since he knew that Zhang Jun was familiar with Hua Buyi. In his eyes, Zhang Jun was becoming mysterious, so he had to take him seriously.

Cheng Fusheng was by no means a dumb, instead he was clever in that he rarely caused troubles for his father and he even managed his mother’s company well in just one year.

On second thoughts, he walked toward Zhang Jun with a smile and spoke to him gently, “Thank you today. And I will return your hospitality. We are envious of you having such a gorgeous girlfriend as Ms. Lin. Congrats!”

Zhang Jun had no confrontation with Cheng Fusheng, nor did they have contradiction. The only reason was that they did not like each other. So Chen Fusheng wisely expressed his willingness to reconcile with him.

Zhang Jun did not like Cheng Fusheng, nor did he wanted to have any connection with him. Therefore, he replied with a lukewarm attitude, “It’s fine.”
