Chapter 209 - Pay by Card (2/2)
Hao Ning knew that Jienan had great martial arts and was comparable to Zhe in his prime. The painful faces of those people showed that Jienan was really angry. He quickly came up and persuaded, “Jienan, calm down! They will cry later.”
“You just got us beaten. You can’t leave!” Someone shouted, and it became noisy here at once. Then many people followed him since there was someone taking the lead. They all shouted at once.
“Who said that we were going to leave?” Hao Ning sneered in his mind and pointed at those people, shouting, “It is clear that they made fun of us first. The old man is my friend’s elder family. You are not polite to make fun of him since he knows little about stone-gambling. Is this your politeness to an elder? Your bad behaviors are getting more and more worse, apart from laughing. In this way, you are telling that only people who know more about stone-gambling can enter this place, right? Laymen who don’t know anything should be excluded, right?”
Hearing these words, Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai looked at each other. Hao Ning was talking rubbish. The core problem was obviously hurting people, but Hao Ning transferred the focus to the classification of qualification that people came to the stone-gambling field.
“Right!” Zhou Yuan came up and echoed, “We all know nothing about stone-gambling, so we can’t play in this place, right? If so, you should put up a slogan at the gate of this place. Stone-gambler and Dog, No Entry! Ignorant people like us who know nothing about stone-gambling will not come here and get satirized by you who think they know well about stone-gambling in the future.”
No wonder Zhou Yuan was a person who liked reading some ancient books. The slogan “Stone-gambling and Dog, No Entry” was adapted from the sentence “People of Celestial Empire and Dog, No Entry” on the doors of some places, which was used by westerners to bully people of Celestial Empire in those days. Zhou Yuan’s adaption here could easily stimulate people’s anger.
“They are right.” A heavy and deep voice came from the back of the crowd. All the people turned back and found that the voice was from a little old man, who was not too old but very energetic, with a little girl holding him aside. The old man walked to the front and said in a chipper voice, “Everyone has the right to come here, and no one can laugh at others just because of their ignorance of stones.”
“Old man!” There were still some people shouting, but their voices become lower a lot. “The one who knows nothing about stone-gambling should be laughed at when coming here. Isn’t it normal?”
“Oh?” The old man raised his eyebrows and did not express an opinion. He asked with a smile, “In this way, people who know nothing about medicine should not go to hospital but be beaten on the hands by doctors, right?”
“You… This is sophistry!” Someone said, “Who are you, old man? We are right!”
“Shush! Bro, watch out your mouth!” The man’s mouth was covered by others the moment he was about to speak, “You can’t afford to offend this old man!”
“Brother Hu!” Zhang Dalong shook hands with a smile after seeing this. He said, “Why did you come here today? Not busy in your clinic?”
“I hope I can free from work!” The smiley old man shook hands with Zhang Dalong. “I hope there will no disease in the world so that people will no longer need medication. But there are a lot of patients in my clinic recently. I do not want to stay there to make trouble for those young doctors because they feel uneasy to put their medical skills to good use as I idle about there. So, I could only expel myself to come here.”
“Ha-ha!” Zhang Dalong answered with a smile, “Brother Hu, you are so humorous. You have great medical skills. Once you see a patient, he will be cured soon. But it is right to give the young doctors more opportunities to practice. No matter how capable we are, our business will belong to them in the future, right?”
These two people had a small talk, and Zhang Dalong quickly came over to introduce, “This is Mr. Hu from Clinic Hu. He is skillful in medicine, and he is my lifetime buddy, so I call him Brother Hu brazenly, too. Brother Hu, they are some of the talents I know in my industry…”
When these people were rambling on about the introduction, the people who just now took up their refrain became speechless when they heard the Clinic Hu. They not only kept silent but also all disappeared. Clinic Hu was top-rated in the whole G province, even in the whole country. It could be said to be a clinic. But it had countless branches a long time ago. From the old man’s family name and the attitude of Zhang Dalong, it was so clear that this old man was the founder of Clinic Hu indeed today. Hao Ning and his friends did not know what to say and just nodded with a giggle when they heard the introduction of Zhang Dalong.
Clinic Hu was famous for its persistence in the traditional medicine of Celestial Empire, which could cure many tough diseases that were hard to treat by western medicine. Today, western medicine was more popular than traditional medicine of Celestial Empire. Clinic Hu was absolutely a bright pearl as well as a totem from all aspects. It was not quite appropriate to criticize Clinic Hu both in morality as well as justice and reality. The most practical point was that no one could promise that he would not be sick in the future, so he could not offend the Clinic Hu and its founder Mr. Hu if he needed traditional medicine of Celestial Empire to cure his disease which could not be cured by western medicine.
“Grandpa, these several people?” A delicate and pretty girl looked down at the guys beaten down to the ground by Jienan and asked.
“Go ahead.” Mr. Hu nodded.
“Ha-ha! OK!” The girl seemed to be very happy. Just in a flash, she seemed to have touched the face of everyone gently and went back to the side of the old man immediately.
“Good job!” Hao Ning and Jienan both praised her simultaneously.
Those guys just felt cold on their faces before they could come to their senses, and the pains vanished suddenly. They then looked at each other and found that the bruises on their faces vanished now, too.
“Holy doctor!” The situation converted at once. Those guys said thank you to her one by one, and Jienan did not know what to say.
“Shameful!” Another voice came from a middle-aged man who walked out smilingly with a young man behind him. The young man with cold eyes lowered his head and did not look at them. The girl without saying a word frowned when looking at the young man.
“Our company has been hiring you guys only for being laughed at?” Those people were too nervous to speak, and the man continued to say, “You guys really disgrace Wang Family!”
After saying that, he held the fist in the other hand towards these several people and said with a smile, “I am sorry to amuse you. My name is Wang Jun, in charge of the business of Wang Real Estate in the southern part of Celestial Empire.
Hao Ning and Xiao Hong looked at each other and laughed helplessly. So many people were here, and it became noisy here today. Zhang Dalong came here, so did these doctors. Even people of Wang Family came here as well.
“Wang Real Estate?” Xiao Hong asked on purpose, “Wang Real Estate of Mister Wang Shiming?”
“Exactly!” Wang Jun laughed with much respect, “I have a deep relationship with Mister Wang Shiming. Do you also know the Mister of our family?”
Hao Ning felt a little disgusted when he heard about the word “Mister”. They were in the new times, and it was so wired to say this word. When the above behaved wrongly, the below would do the same. Was it necessary to flatter him so much? Hao Ning laughed and said, “I don’t know Wang Shiming, but I have a good relationship with Wang Shizhe.”
As expected, Wang Jun’s eyes got cold when he heard the name “Wang Shizhe”, but he still kept his smile. Hao Ning guessed at once that what Zhe said was right. People below knew much about the identity of Zhe indeed, but they did not want to speak it out.
“Sir, you must be joking.” Wang Jun did not express an opinion, but he changed his attitude which was good just now. He stood straight and said, “Our people just made fun of this… Mr. Zhang. That’s our fault, but your suite…”
“Suite?” Jienan became angry when hearing these words. They were in a new era, and this man still said the word “suite”. He felt a gloomy and cold wind coming straight to his face when he was about to lose his temper. And when he was about to resist the wind, Hao Ning had already stood in front of him. With two sounds of bang, Hao Ning’s body shook, but he still looked at Wang Jun with a smile and said, “Mr. Wang, as I know, a friend of mine is the colleague of Mr. Zhang. In this age, we are all labors. Please withdraw the word ‘suite’.”
“You…” Wang Jun’s face suddenly got changed. When the young man said something to him in his year behind, Wang Jun laughed at once and said, “Okay! Fine! But your friend got my people beaten. Anyway, it is his fault, right?”
