Chapter 16 The Business Gets Better (1/2)

“Xiaoyong, are you alright?” Cupping Li Yong’s face in her hands and looking him over, Zhang Yurong says out of excitement. What happens today is so shocking that she feels restless all the time after Li Yong was taken away by the police.

“Of course I am okay. That patient’s death has nothing to do with me.” Li Yong says seriously.

Though he is not afraid of troubles, he is upset anyway when troubles come to him. Li Yong has been occupied the whole day and went to the police station twice without making any money at all. Of course, the reward given by the police is counted as yesterday’s income by him.

“I’m so glad that you are okay.” Zhang Yurong is finally relieved after being worried all the day.

“Where is the dead patient?” Noticing that everything is cleared in front of the clinic, Li Yong asks.

“She has been carried away by her family.” Zhang Yurong says.

“If she had come to me before, she would’ve not died that early.” Li Yong sighs and says.

“Yong, from where I stand, you have superior medial skills and no one can ever surpass you. This clinic is too small for you to give full play to your capability. How about Wang Hui’s Clinic? That jerk has broken the law and will stay in jail for several years. His clinic will be closed then. Why don’t you rent it to enlarge the business scale?”

Sun Qiang has been after Li Yong for the day, behaving just as good as a lackey. He has raised a lot of ideas for Li Yong today but none of them are better than this one.

Li Yong looks at the opposite side of the road and Wang Hui’s Clinic is just the four-floor building diagonally across the street. The clinic is well furnished with many clinical departments. It is no exaggeration to even call the place as Wang Hui’s Hospital.

Li Yong nods his head out of satisfaction, saying, “Good idea.”

Every French soldier carries a marshal’s baton in his knapsack. Likewise, every doctor wants to have a hospital of his own. Women, fame and money are the ultimate pursuits of men. It is the same with Li Yong.

Sun Qiang is rejoiced. Having put forward so many ideas, it is the first time that he has got Li Yong’s consent. He says gaily, “I’m going there to ask around and see who the owner of the building is. I will make sure to have the place for you.”

After Sun Qiang leaves, Li Yong walks into the clinic and sees the dinner set on the table, which is still hot.

Li Yong feels very warm. He has been dreaming about someone preparing dinner for him when he comes home. Now, his dream is eventually realized.

At dinner, Zhang Yurong asks, “Xiaoyong, are you really going to rent Wang Hui’s Clinic?”

“It’ll be great if I can rent it.” Li Yong says with a smile.

“But it is so big that the rent must be rather high.” Zhang Yurong reminds.

“I’ve got over 3 million. It should be enough.” Li Yong thinks it over and says.

“3 million?” Zhang Yurong ponders over the amount and her looks appear softer.

3 million is neither a big amount nor a small one. For many people, they cannot have so much money in their life. Just like Zhang Yurong, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, she has to work for more than 30 years to accumulate that much money.

Li Yong becomes a millionaire from an orphan who could not afford his rent within only a few days. Zhang Yurong has to look at him with new eyes again.

Now she realizes that her salary is not too high but a bit low.

After dinner, Li Yong was intended to close the clinic early, but strangely, a lot of patients flood in the clinic, making him unable to leave.

Though Zhang Yurong doesn’t need to work overtime, she doesn’t leave either. She just sits beside Li Yong, watching Li Yong handling the patients. She suddenly becomes interested in medical stuff.

One of the patients: “Doctor Li, I want to stay in hospital and take drips. Wang Hui said that it had to take me one week at the hospital to get fully recovered. I want to be fully recovered.”

Li Yong: “You really don’t have to do that. Just take the medicine for one week and you will be recovered.”

The patient: “No way, I want to take drips.”

Li Yong: “No need for that.”

The patient is still dubious and asks, “How much is it?”

Li Yong: “Whatever amount you want.”

The patient thinks it over and says, “1,000 yuan then.”

It seems that the patient is not rich at all, so Li Yong has no desire to charge him so much. He says with a smile, “100 is enough.”

The patient: “Gees, so cheap! What medicine are you giving me? Is it really able to heal me?”

In order to avoid similar situations happening again, Li Yong takes whatever amount of fees that patients propose.

He handles tens of patients, half of whom require staying in hospital and all of whom ask to take drips. As far as Li Yong can see, they don’t need to stay in hospital or take drips to get well.

It is rather weird that the doctors always ask patients to take drips which are basically antibiotics without checking their infection cause. For patients who always take drips, their immunity will get weakened and become sick more easily. Furthermore, their body will develop resistance to antibiotics.

Consequently, with the resistance toward antibiotics, once infected, they will be in great danger.

Maybe they will get killed for a small illness.
