Chapter 67 Have Powerful Connections (1/2)
“Do you have other prescriptions for beautifying and skincare? I’ll buy them.” Wu Yuting grabs Li Yong by his arm and shakes it slightly as if she is in a close relationship with him.
Although she gives off a nice smell, Li Yong hastens to take two steps back and keeps a distance with her, saying with blinking eyes, “No, I don’t have any more. I mean it.”
Is she kidding? She is the opponent of Han’s Group. Even Li Yong has more prescriptions, he cannot sell them to her!
Wu Yuting rolls her big eyes and suddenly flushes, saying gently, “Emm, I still owe you 28 minutes’ kissing. When do you want to have it?”
“No, I don’t want it anymore.” Li Yong says. He would rather let her keep it.
“Ah? Why don’t you want it?” Wu Yuting is confused!
Li Yong is even more confused! He doesn’t want to take advantage of her, but she is now confused and wonders why. Is she flirting with him? Is there any woman who will force others to kiss her? Is her kiss so invaluable?
When Li Yong doesn’t know how to answer her, Wu Dan, who gets annoyed for waiting too long, shouts furiously, “Are you leaving or not? Why do you talk with him for so long? If you are not leaving, I will leave you behind.”
“Brother, I am coming.” Wu Yuting answers and then smiles at Li Yong, saying, “Our cooperation has a promising prospect. Haha… Wait for my call. I will make an appointment with you later.”
“Poison me? I don’t want to be poisoned.” Li Yong shivers for a bit. It shocks him that this woman should be so evil.
After Wu Yuting leaves, Li Yong also takes a taxi directly back to the Yong Kang Clinic.
Besides the fact that Sun Qiang is watching Tian Baiqing busily working, there are no other things.
Li Yong pats Sun Qiang’s shoulder, which startles Sun Qiang. When Sun Qiang realizes it is Li Yong, he hurries to say with a grin, “This is true love. 100% true love.”
“Good luck.” Li Yong gives a faint smile and wishes him luck, saying seriously, “Yet, you cannot let it hinder your job.”
“Okay, okay.” Sun Qiang hastens to agree and then thinks of his job as the security guard.
Then, Li Yong goes to the accounting office to check the accounts over the past week. When he learns that the income is 120,000, he feels rather pleased. Although the amount is far less than the money he can get from curing a patient himself, the money is from the underclass patients. He is pleased not for the income but the fact that his clinic can serve the common people.
He also finds out that most of the patients who come here are alien workers who come to other places from their faraway hometown. Although they suffer others’ contempt and indifference, they are still making contribution to the development of the country. Yet, their medical insurance and social security benefits are not with them. Once they are diagnosed with critical illnesses, they must go back to their hometown unless they cannot.
If they can see a doctor in other places with the same medicare reimbursement benefits and the fee is affordable, why will they travel all the long way back home while suffering the pain of illness?
What Li Yong wants to do is to ensure every patient can enjoy the benefits of medical insurance regardless, whether they buy the insurance or not. He believes that any precondition is an act of disrespect for the weak.
The precondition that the government sets on the medical insurance is bitterly disappointing.
The medicine always has a profit margin as much as several times of the cost. Even if he reduces the price by a half, Li Yong can still have a considerable income.
He also understands that this clinic is his own property. He doesn’t need to pay for the rent, or he will not have an income of 120,000.
Certainly, even without income, Li Yong doesn’t feel bothered either.
Deep in his memories, the ancient doctors’ spirit of retrieving the dying and rescuing the wounded encourages him greatly. It is the basic conscience of a doctor to sympathize with the weak and help them.
It may not be the doctors’ fault but the liability of the social system.
Right then, a group of people come into the clinic dressed in the same clothes like the city inspectors. Some of them carry sticks in their hands, making a show of force and looking arrogant.
The leading person is a tall and fat officer in a suit. He rushes into the consulting room and looks around angrily with his eyes narrowed, shouting in a loud voice, “Who is the boss? Get your ass here.”
The patients in the queue are terrified. Pushed by the intruders, they are scattered.
Liu Lingyin is also freaked out and hastens to go forward, saying fearfully, “Director Wang, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Hmm. I’ve sent you three notices but you still ignore laws and don’t take action. Tell you what, your medicine price is not aligned with the state-set price. You’ve broken the law. Today I will close down your clinic and punish you heavily. Now all of you leave here right now, including the patients. Leave…” Director Wang shouts out loud in an uncontrollable rage as if he were treating people who have killed his father.
As he shouts, the people he brings here start to repel the patients and staff of the clinic. For those who don’t leave, they will take up their sticks to threaten them, striking a posture to hit them.
