Chapter 709 - 327: A Perfect Feigned Coma—Never Dishearten the Meritorious

Sponsored

"Seems like I caught him."

His wife replied filled with guilt, looking very upset.

The nasal mucosa is very delicate, filled with capillaries. It’s easy to bleed if scratched.

This type of injury shouldn’t lead to unconsciousness!

Li Jingsheng was completely baffled this time.

Once the ambulance takes the person back to the hospital, they should be able to diagnose the problem using instruments.

It doesn’t seem like a big issue, maybe just a mild degree of unconsciousness.

"You wretch, wake up! It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, sob sob..."

His wife grabbed his body and began to shake it.

At this moment, Li Jingsheng noticed a pained expression on Boss Zhao’s face.

Normally, when a person is unconscious, if it’s a shallow coma, they might feel pain. But the reaction would be very slow.

Just from being shaken like this, Boss Zhao immediately showed a pained expression, which might fool others but not Li Jingsheng, the professional doctor.

This indicates that his sensitivity to the outside world is completely normal, to have such a keen sense of pain.

"Damn, this Old Zhao, made me waste my time examining him. So he was faking it!"

Li Jingsheng understood what’s going on at this point.

In this situation, Boss Zhao chose to play unconscious, staging a ’self-harm trick,’ firmly gripping his wife’s vulnerability.

Who knows his wife best?

It must be him.

This tigress, when she throws a fit, there’s hardly anyone who can persuade her.

Li Jingsheng originally intended for Boss Zhao to bring his wife and lover to have a face-to-face conversation and ideally reach a conclusion.

But this outcome is clearly something Boss Zhao can’t accept.

After all, he was caught cheating, and given his wife’s fiery temper, if she really wanted to divorce him, the family would fall apart. She’d take most of the assets.

Boss Zhao’s plan of playing victim hit his wife’s sore spot perfectly.

When she calms down, he can act severely injured and weak, discuss the issue with her. Maybe just by admitting his mistake, coaxing a bit, the matter would be resolved.

As for whether he can still interact with the boss lady opposite in the future, that’s hard to say.

After all, men, unless they’re put in an urn, won’t behave themselves.

The ambulance arrived quickly, taking Boss Zhao into the vehicle, and his wife followed him.

The crowd of onlookers soon dispersed.

By the time the police arrived, there was nothing left to deal with.

After understanding the situation, they headed back.

No one wants to meddle in these family affairs.

Usually, these are resolved by mutual agreement.

At this time, Li Jingsheng’s phone rang again.

It was Ou Qinglan calling.

"Dear, where are you? I bought you food, brought it to your clinic. There’s your favorite braised pork, oil-bathed eggplant, shrimp, and green pepper scrambled eggs." The dishes she ordered were always so plentiful.

Thinking about how busy she’s been at work lately, whenever possible, she buys meals from the hospital cafeteria and brings them to him.

Li Jingsheng felt incredibly touched.

Having such a great girlfriend, he reminded himself never to follow Boss Zhao’s path.

He must cherish her dearly.

As his skills continue to improve, his wealth and status gradually climb, and the number of attractive women around him grows.

The hospital’s pretty nurses, young female doctors, often have interactions.

They’re all the ones initiating conversations with Li Jingsheng.

Some are through frequent work-related interactions.

For instance, there’s a female intern in the Cardiac Surgery department who always likes to approach him. She asks for advice on diagnosing thoracic diseases or seeks his surgical tips.

Not answering would seem impolite.

But frequent interactions make him genuinely worried something might happen.

Her gaze towards Li Jingsheng is always filled with admiration, her speech incredibly gentle. It’s really rare for a man to resist.

Moreover, some young female patients he treats have frequent contact due to their conditions.

These are all potential hazards.

A man’s mistake is merely a momentary thought.

"I’m on my way."

Li Jingsheng quickly headed towards his clinic.

...

Around eleven at night, after dropping Ou Qinglan home, still on the road, he received a text from Boss Zhao.

"Thanks for saving me today, Brother Li! I’ll treat you to a meal sometime."

"No need for courtesy! You should take it easy, affairs are not something to take seriously, just for fun."

Li Jingsheng tried to subtly advise him.

The lady boss of Furuiduo Pharmacy, upon seeing Boss Zhao faint, left without looking back.

This indicates that she has no feelings for Boss Zhao.

If Boss Zhao doesn’t stop, sooner or later something will go wrong.

After sending the message, there was no response.

It’s unclear if he disagrees with Li Jingsheng’s opinion or if he couldn’t respond due to circumstances.

Early the next morning, Li Jingsheng woke up to a message from Boss Zhao.

"My wife’s next to me, it’s inconvenient to reply, hope you understand. Brother, I’ve fallen deep. In this life, I only love two things: beautiful women and money."

Since Boss Zhao said it like this, Li Jingsheng naturally wouldn’t try to persuade him anymore.

He couldn’t quite understand the real thoughts of men at Boss Zhao’s age.

Maybe they feel that as life approaches its twilight years, finding a beautiful young woman as a lover brings great satisfaction.

Life is just a few short decades, passing by quickly.

Sometimes, it’s indeed hard to fully control one’s desires.

A little after seven o’clock, as Li Jingsheng was having breakfast, Wen Tianqi came over with his resume and other documents.

After a careful look, seeing no issues, Li Jingsheng accepted the documents and offered Wen Tianqi a one-month trial period.

He handed over the management of the online store to Wen Tianqi, but any major decisions must pass Xiaogao’s review before being implemented.

This essentially promoted Xiaogao to sales manager, with Wen Tianqi, the offline female salesperson, and customer service all under his leadership.

If they had any issues, they could bring them to Li Jingsheng, the boss.

Ultimately, the one steering the clinic was undoubtedly Li Jingsheng.

During lunch, Wen Tianqi already had some specific improvement plans ready.

He handed them to Li Jingsheng.

"Has Dr. Gao seen them?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"I’ve already looked them over. These suggestions are excellent and very constructive. I think they can be implemented immediately, with some even showing results in just a day or two."

Xiaogao replied.

"Mr. Wen’s business capability is indeed strong and very professional."

As Xiaogao praised him, a bit of self-doubt slipped through.

After all, Xiaogao only recently began learning about online sales of medicine and store operations.

His usual tactics with the older crowds, like adopting someone as a godparent, were almost useless online.

The internet lacks the warmth of face-to-face interaction and feels more practical.

Customers directly select what medicine they want to buy,

caring only about the price and quality. For medication issues, they consult customer service.

Facing a talent like Wen Tianqi with high expertise, it’s understandable for Xiaogao to feel inferior.

Li Jingsheng briefly reviewed the recommendations, recognizing their professionalism and long-term perspective.

This long-term strategy was what ordinary operators lacked.

Because it may not show results in the short term and can even reduce profits temporarily; however, from a long-term development perspective, it’s highly beneficial.

Like disciplined children, they start average and gradually excel.

In the end, those with mere talent but lacking discipline fall far behind.

"Hmm, since you’ve discussed these suggestions, they’re fine. Implement them one by one. Dr. Gao, in the future, for suggestions needing approval and signature, you can just bring them directly to me."

Li Jingsheng was backing up Xiaogao.

To help boost his confidence.

"Okay!"

Xiaogao responded gladly.

The boss always valued him heavily, and now, as the business gradually grew, he still valued him greatly, which brought Xiaogao some comfort.

...

Past nine at night, when overtime staff were leaving, Li Jingsheng called Xiaogao to his office.

"Dr. Gao, sit down!"

He personally poured Xiaogao a glass of water.

This move was learned from Director Hua.

Every time he went to Director Hua’s office, he received this kind of treatment.

It’s undeniable, that feeling of being respected and valued is truly pleasing.

"You’re the second employee I hired, in terms of seniority, only Sister Tang is above you. You’ve been working diligently at the clinic, striving for its growth, often working overtime even after getting home. When Tang Jie, Siying, and others sell medicine, you always let them handle their strong suits, and I’ve noted all these contributions."

Li Jingsheng gave high acknowledgment to Xiaogao’s efforts and contributions.

"This is what I should do. Without the opportunities from the boss, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Perhaps I’d still be earning a thousand yuan a month doing odd jobs at the Quick Recovery Clinic."

There was one thing very good about Xiaogao.

After transferring to Li Jingsheng’s clinic, despite being exploited, scolded, and even beaten by Boss Zhao, he never spoke ill of him.

Furthermore, when he started at the Sunshine Clinic, Li Jingsheng was always wary of Xiaogao being a spy sent by Boss Zhao.

He was always on guard with Xiaogao in his heart.

As it turned out, Xiaogao never overstepped any boundaries.

The Sunshine Clinic’s trade secrets were never leaked to Boss Zhao.

His character demonstrated so far made Li Jingsheng greatly admire this young man.

"Do you know? Now, I’m the most successful among my classmates. Previously, I was at the bottom, the worst. My dad taught me from a young age, never forget your roots even when you grow tall, and I know precisely who gave me everything I have. The boss need not worry about my intentions."

Xiaogao said candidly.

At this moment, speaking with some emotion.

Li Jingsheng, also someone who climbed up from difficult circumstances, deeply understood Xiaogao’s feelings.

"Though I’m not worried about your intentions and have always trusted you, I can’t let you work so hard while feeling wronged. Some things must be said to keep your heart at ease and not grow cold."

Li Jingsheng looked at Xiaogao sincerely.

This was also the first time they opened up to each other for a heartfelt conversation.
