Chapter 496 (2/2)

Kang Xia came back to her senses and smilingly said, “Boss, I’m kind of imagining 20 years in the future. You’re someone with great ideas, as well as great courage and energy. With your wisdom and ability, your vision is something that ordinary people are unable to imagine. I simply do not dare to imagine how powerful you will become 20 years later!”

Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing, “Despite knowing that you’re just flattering me, I still feel good hearing it, you know. Anyway, how did you get this idea?”

“From those children,” said Kang Xia.

Tang Xiu was silent, before he slowly said, “I must adopt a lot of homeless children whose aptitudes and character are good. But maybe only a few of them will still be able to follow me when I leave in the future. As long as they are still alive in the future, let alone training them for 20 years, it wouldn’t be a problem if I still have to train them for 200 years.”

“Can a human really live to 200 years old?” Asked Kang Xia with a curious expression.

Tang Xiu let out a mysterious smile and answered, “I have seen terrifying people who have lived for 20,000 years or even longer. What you experienced at present is still lacking. Just wait! As long as you cultivate diligently and perform well, I’m sure you can go with me in the future?”

“Where will we go, exactly?” Asked Kang Xia quickly.

“To the place where celestials and immortals reside. All right, let us not speak about this. I’m rather starving right now, so let’s have breakfast first! Afterward, I’ll drive you over to the company, and I also have other things to handle.”

“Where are you going?” Asked Kang Xia with a puzzled expression.

“Star City Chinese Medical Hospital!” Answered Tang Xiu with a smile outlined on the corner of his mouth.

_At Star City Chinese Medical Hospital…_

The entrance to the hospital was crowded by streams of people. There, Li Hongji was walking back and forth with an anxious expression on his face. He looked at his watch once in a while, as Dai Xinyue next to him similarly looked anxious, yet there was a proud expression on her face.

“President, should I phone Master?”

Dai Xinyue finally couldn’t bear anymore.

Li Hongji’s expression moved, yet turned slightly awkward. Then, he shook his head and said, “I think it won’t be necessary. Tang Xiu has given his word that he’d come to our Chinese Medical Hospital to give medical services. I’m sure he will keep his promise. Let us wait a bit more. Besides, there’s half an hour left to the working hours still. I’m sure he will arrive in time.”

“I called Master last night and confirmed that he indeed returned to Star City yesterday. He is probably on the way here,” said Dai Xinyue with a smile.

“En!” Li Hongji felt a bit relieved, yet his eyes kept watching the highways at both ends of the road.

_Creak…_

The braking sound of tires sounded near Li Hongji and Dai Xinyue. The driver’s window then opened and Tang Xiu poked his head out, asking, “President Li, Xinyue, what are you two doing outside? Are you waiting for me?”

“Master!” Dai Xinyue’s eyes lit up, as she called out in pleasant surprise.

Surprised and happy, Li Hongji clapped his hands and said, “Tang Xiu, you came at last! Anyhow, our hospital is fully crowded today. All of them are patients who have been waiting for you. I’m afraid they will go berserk and eat me alive if you didn’t come.”

“Hahaha, please don’t exaggerate things, President Li! All right, I’ll park my car first. You two please wait for me in the consultation room,” said Tang Xiu with a laugh.

Li Hongji hastily said, “There’s no parking space left in the parking lot, Tang Xiu. Just give your car to the security guards and let them do it. Let us have a chat while walking to the consultation room! Anyhow, I have to tell you something. Your previous consultation room cannot be used anymore due to special reasons. But I’ve picked up a more spacious consultation room for you and had someone prepare and clean it up.”

After Tang Xiu got off the car and threw the car keys to a security guard, he curiously asked, “Special reasons? What special reasons?”

While pointing to the inside, he said, “Take a look at the biggest consultation room on the east side of the consultation building. Two queue lines are going to arrive here soon, and all of them have something in common. That is, they want you to examine them. Also, it’s still half an hour away from the doctor’s formal work shift. But who knows how long these queues will become in an hour.”

Tang Xiu looked inside and saw that the two lines were already 20 to 30 meters long. His mouth twitched a few times. The number of people in the queues just outside the consultation building already numbered several hundred people. Even if only one-third of them wanted to see the doctor, the number would still be over a hundred people. Added with the rest in the hallway inside the consultation building… Tang Xiu didn’t dare to imagine how long it would take to consult and treat all of them.

“President Li, I won’t be able to finish the examinations today! How about you think of a ways to share these patients with other doctors? Of course, if you really run into patients with difficult diseases, then you can turn them over to me!”

“I also thought about that!” Li Hongji forced a smile. “But the majority of them come from every part of the country due to their admiration toward you, and also want you to treat them. Some of them have even been staying in our Star City Chinese Medical Hospital for more than a month just to wait for you.”

After thinking for a while, Tang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, “Such being the case, let’s do it this way then! However, you have to use the time efficiently. You see, there are already a lot of patients in the current queue, so we’ll begin closing the queue for patients in this line. If more patients come later, they are not to be scheduled for medical examination today if their condition is not urgent. Otherwise, I may not be able to treat them if I become dead tired today.”
