Chapter 1600 - 1476: A Token of Appreciation
"Divine Pill, this really is the Divine Pill!" The stout old man holding the elixir became extraordinarily excited instantly.
"Divine Pill, what Divine Pill? Dad, what on earth are you talking about?" Gold Wire Glasses was utterly stupefied.
The stout old man, without any hesitation, opened wide and swallowed the brown elixir. Gold Wire Glasses wanted to stop him but it was too late.
"Comfortable, so comfortable!" In just a few breaths, the stout old man exclaimed excitedly, "It feels like a warm current is circulating within my body, repairing me. My blood, bones are improving, and my heart seems to have been restored, it’s incredible!"
The stout old man shouted with excitement, leaving Gold Wire Glasses bewildered, unaware of the situation.
"Why are you standing here dumbstruck? Hurry up and chase after him, properly thank that Little Divine Doctor!" The stout old man shouted excitedly, almost slapping his son on the face.
Finally, he understood why Professor Tian Shi would say this young man is his teacher. This young man truly is not an ordinary person!
"Dr. Zou, please, let my father stay in the hospital for now. I’ll gather the money as soon as possible!" In an office, a somewhat frail-looking girl pleaded bitterly with a doctor.
In front of her, there was an elderly doctor in a white coat. Hearing the girl’s pleading, he felt a bit sympathetic but ultimately shook his head and said:
"Though I really want to help you, I don’t own this hospital. Not just me, even the head physician here can’t make a decision."
The elderly doctor felt some sympathy. He was the attending doctor for the girl’s father, aware of the girl’s efforts to save her father.
However, the hospital has its rules, and as a surgeon, he cannot make decisions, unless he takes out his own savings to help this girl’s father with the surgery.
But human kindness has its limits, everyone has their own lives, it’s not possible for someone to go all out helping another, despite her pitiful situation.
"Dr. Zou, I just want my father to stay a few more days in the hospital. I’ll make up the hospital fees. If he leaves the hospital now, he won’t last even a week."
Her eyes teared up as she spoke with a hint of sobbing.
Feeling a soft spot, Dr. Zou sighed and shook his head, saying, "Qiao Xuan, you are a good girl, I know you are very filial, but you have done your best. To be frank, your father was never expected to survive; even if you gathered enough for inpatient fees or surgery, even after surgery he would barely linger for two years."
After speaking, Dr. Zou’s expression turned heavy with a sigh. It wasn’t appropriate for a doctor like him to say these words, but Qiao Xuan was really good, and he appreciated her. That’s why he said these hurtful but truthful words from his heart.
"Ah!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuan’s eyes trembled, tears hung at the rim of her eyes, the pain in her heart unbearable. Her father meant the world to her; now it finally felt like the end.
Before, she already had no money for her father’s inpatient care. In desperation, gnashing her teeth, she thought of selling herself to scrape together medical expenses.
She needed twenty thousand yuan, so Qiao Xuan fixed the price at twenty thousand yuan; it was simply ridiculous. Even though she is a pretty girl and still a virgin, not everyone could afford it.
Thanks to the young man, not only did he readily give her the twenty thousand yuan, but he didn’t touch her; he was a truly kind-hearted person in this world.
Yet even so, her father was at the brink, with no hope of recovery.
"Dr. Zou, my dad is my only relative, I’m begging you; tell me there’s still hope to cure him, even if the hope is infinitesimal, I want to try."
Qiao Xuan cried, her eyes red as she spoke.
"There is almost no way." Dr. Zou shook his head, dimming Qiao Xuan’s expression, "Unless you could get one of the newest traditional medicines from Yanglong Pharmaceutical, one of them would greatly aid your father’s illness."
"Yanglong Pharmaceutical?"
"You should have heard of Yanglong Pharmaceutical, their traditional medicines are incredibly effective, becoming idols in the Chinese medicine world, and might cure your father’s illness. But their medicine is highly sought-after, not only is the price exorbitant, as soon as it is released, it’s almost immediately snapped up by wealthy celebrities. Life-saving products are highly valued by the wealthy!"
Dr. Zou shook his head with a sigh.
Qiao Xuan’s face fell instantly, she knew about Yanglong Pharmaceutical’s medicine; she couldn’t afford it nor get it, she couldn’t possibly compete with celebrities for Yanglong Pharmaceutical’s products.
"Divine Doctor, Little Divine Doctor, wait a moment!"
At this moment, Gold Wire Glasses had hurriedly chased out into the corridor.
He quickly approached Ye Qingfeng and Tian Shi, eagerly saying, "Divine Doctor, Professor, I apologize for misunderstanding you previously, I’m here to apologize now."
"Okay, I understand, step aside." Ye Qingfeng nodded, not in the mood to waste words with such people.
Gold Wire Glasses paused for a moment but quickly understood that true masters have such reserved temperaments, he immediately smiled and said, "Divine Doctor, my father specially sent me to thank you, he feels his heart issue is completely healed, even his overall physical functions have improved, thank you very much. This bank card has a million yuan, I hope you will accept it!"
"Of course, it’s not much, just a token of gratitude, hoping the Divine Doctor won’t mind."
"Alright."
Ye Qingfeng directly accepted the bank card, saying indifferently, "Alright, step aside."
Tian Shi’s expression was also calm; with his current standing at Huayu Group, a million yuan hardly counts as big money.
"Uh?" Gold Wire Glasses paused for a moment. Though he called it petty cash, he felt a bit proud inside, it was indeed a million yuan.
One elixir for a million yuan, he hoped to see the two men astonished by his generosity, but unexpectedly, both remained unfazed.
These are true masters! Gold Wire Glasses thought immediately.
"Divine Doctor, if you need anything else, feel free to ask for assistance, I’m Zhang Mao, and I have some influence in East River City!"
Zhang Mao patted his chest, saying quite pompously.
Tian Shi shook his head internally. He had been with Huayu Group for this long, he was somewhat aware of Ye Qingfeng’s power. In the whole East River City, there truly isn’t anyone who dares claim to have more influence than Ye Qingfeng.
He could be called the king of East River City!
