Chapter 16 The Business Gets Better
“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.
At 9:30 pm, Li Yong finally gets to see the last patient who strongly request staying in hospital and taking drips off the clinic. It is not until now that he realizes the patients have no other choices but to turn to him for help because all the doctors of Wang Hui’s Clinic are arrested and the clinic is closed already.
Li Yong checks his income over the night. Even though two of the patients don’t pay him much, he has earned quite some money indeed. If he can have so many patients every day, he will be rich soon.
Knowing Li Yong has earned more than 1,000 yuan in one night, Zhang Yurong cannot help admiring him.
“Xiaoyong, how much will you give me as bonus?” Zhang Yurong comes near Li Yong and asks with a sweet smile.
“You will know afterwards.” Li Yong grins.
Zhang Yurong is looking forward to that.
On the way back, Li Yong rides on the electromobile with Zhang Yurong sitting behind him. Zhang Yurong has put her arms around Li Yong’s waist closely before the electromobile starts.
“Ms. Zhang, don’t you touch my belly.” Li Yong says with a cheeky grin.
“I didn’t.” Zhang Yurong is a bit angry because she didn’t touch his belly at all. Yet, she understands what Li Yong says and then puts her hands inside his clothes then.
“Ah! Ms. Zhang, don’t you unbuckle my belt.” Li Yong says grinning again.
“You naughty badass, I must pinch you hard.” Zhang Yurong pinches him really hard.
“Ah, Ms. Zhang, don’t you touch my little general.” Li Yong screams.
“You naughty badass, you are so naughty.” Zhang Yurong feels rather embarrassed. Though she is experienced in flirting, she is not as good as Li Yong. Hearing what Li Yong says, she does grab his thing a bit, but she blushes out of embarrassment.
They two keep making jokes all the way home. However, arriving at the house, Zhang Yurong returns to her room immediately and locks the door from inside. Out of no reason, she doesn’t care being taken advantage of by Li Yong when he is poor. Yet, now that he is richer than her, she cannot just accept him then.
She has a feeling that Li Yong is no ordinary man and will become successful soon. She is merely a divorced woman who will not able to have his love or company.
She knows deep inside she loves Li Yong. Being with him, she feels rejoiced, happy and worry-free. However, can she just be with Li Yong without any expectation or demand?
The next day, Zhang Yurong gets up early to make breakfast. After having breakfast, they head to the clinic together.
Zhang Yurong is wearing a low-collar T-shirt today, which makes her bosoms partly hidden and partly visible. Li Yong tries to calm himself down, pretending not to notice them and holding in his feelings. Only when Zhang Yurong turns around, he takes a peep secretly.
Yet, his action cannot pass with Zhang Yurong’s eyes. She chuckles and asks, “Do they look nice?”
Li Yong swallows his saliva and says excitedly, “Yes, they do.”
“Do you want to touch them?” Zhang Yurong chests out and asks him proudly.
Li Yong swallows the saliva again and snaps his fingers, nodding his head, “Yeah, I do.”
“In your dreams!” Zhang Yurong pushes Li Yong’s hand away and chuckles, taking one step back. Taking her purse, she goes out of the clinic and says, “I’m going out to pick up some groceries and make lunch for you.”
Watching Zhang Yurong walking out of the clinic, Li Yong takes a deep breath and hastens to urge the mental cultivation method. The lust in his heart fades away immediately.
Yeah, recently he finds out that the mental cultivation method can help keep his head clear. It is a pity that he has got only three levels of the method, with which, he can only acquire internal strength. If only he has ten levels of it, he can have spiritual power through practicing.
Spiritual power is a power superior to internal strength. Internal strength is a power from within the physical body while spiritual power is a power that goes beyond the body and absorbs energy from the earth and universe.
While Li Yong is lost in thought, a luxury car stops in front of the clinic. Sun Qiang should come here at such an early time.
“Yong, I’ve finished my work. I find out that Wang Hui’s Clinic belongs to Wang Hui. Since he has been arrested, his family have been raising money to help him out. Yet, no one will lend them money in this case. So they are planning to sell the clinic.” Sun Qiang rushes near Li Yong and starts talking non-stop, as if he has made great achievement.
“They’re gonna sell it?” Li Yong drops into deep thought.
“Yes, they are going to sell it. Yong, how about you buying the building and making it one of your properties? Now that the real estate industry is rather prosperous, there must be a lot of appreciation space of the building.” Sun Qiang tries to persuade him.
Just like a rootless duckweed, Li Yong has no home or property. What Sun Qiang says triggers his desire. Then he asks, “How much will it cost if I buy it?”
“Around 5 million, as I hear of. But we should be able to haggle over the price and buy it with, perhaps, over 4 million.” Sun Qiang is well informed indeed and even enquires about the price.
Li Yong touches his forehead and says, “Lend me 2 million then.”
Startled by the request, Sun Qiang appears awkward instantly and says with a bitter smile, “Yong, I don’t have the money. I made great efforts to ask one million from my dad as pocket money and already gave it all to you yesterday. If I ask him again, he will kill me for sure.”
“Let me think about other solutions.” Li Yong starts to ponder.
“Okay. Then I’ll go tell them to keep the building for you. Once you have the money ready, the building will be sold to you immediately.” Saying that, Sun Qiang runs out hastily.
Li Yong thinks it over while touching his jaw. He takes the phone and makes a call to Han Lu. When he is put through, Han Lu’s sweet and beautiful voice comes again, “Mr. Li, what’s the matter?”
Li Yong feels tickled in his heart and glad that Han Lu is being so nice to him. Obviously, she has saved his name as Mr. Li in her contact list. Though Li Yong likes being called as doctor better, he is happy anyway.
“Ms. Han, I would like to ask you out for lunch. Is it okay for you?” Li Yong tries to speak in a soft and slow way. He is almost touched by himself.
