Ling Yun was going to strike it rich today. However, he didn't know to what extent!
This was only the beginning!
"Aunt, this…" Ling Yun was rarely shocked. He didn't expect the Xue Family to present him with such a generous gift.
It was just the opening of a small clinic. Firstly, Qin Dongxue handed him a massive check. After that, Miao Xiaomiao gave him six golden bricks. Then, Long Wu offered him a mysterious piece of jade…
This was great. He could take the company into his hands. In fact, he acquired six entire companies at once!
"Haha, take it. After giving Ning Er such a valuable gift on her birthday, our Xue Family hasn't offered you anything special in return. All of these are worldly gifts. I hope you don't feel it's too measly!"
Zhang Manyun and the others knew how to flatter. With a few words, she managed to compliment both parties. She even managed to highlight Ling Yun's strengths, emphasizing his future as their son-in-law.
Xue Chengye obviously didn't know that Ling Yun had the Yin-Yang Eye that could see through everything. He continued smiling as he said, "They're just a few companies. I've arranged everything for you. After you return, you can discuss things with Ning Er…"
Ling Yun seemed hesitant as he looked at Miracle Doctor Xue.
Miracle Doctor Xue had both his hands clasped behind his back. He stared at Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and the three nurses as they began transporting the gifts from the car into the clinic.
"What're you looking at me for? Brat, since I've handed this to you, take it. You're usually so greedy. Why are you suddenly being so modest?" Miracle Doctor Xue said this telepathically.
"Hehe, thank you, Grandpa Xue, Uncle Xue, and Aunt Zhang! Let's get ourselves into the clinic and out of the streets…"
"You're still calling me Grandpa Xue? Just call me Grandpa from now on!" Miracle Doctor Xue glared at Ling Yun.
"Hehe, I'm so happy that I've forgotten. Grandpa, hurry into the house and head to the second level to have some tea…"
Ling Yun turned around effortlessly as he said to Xue Meining, "Ning Er, you've been to the clinic before. Hurry up and take Grandpa and the others in. There's a lot of people on the first floor. Take them to the second floor…
"I don't want to. I'll stay here with you…" Xue Meining hugged Ling Yun's elbow tightly as she pouted.
Ling Yun lowered his voice and said, "My aunt is here today. She's on the second floor now!"
"Ah? Is that true?"
Once Xue Meining heard this, she let go of Ling Yun immediately and walked into the clinic together with Miracle Doctor Xue and her parents.
By now, Tang Meng had finished moving everything. He secretly walked to Ling Yun's side as he asked excitedly, "Brother Yun, what did Aunt Zhang give you?"
Ling Yun chuckled as he tossed the documents into Tang Meng's hands. He said casually, "Take a good look at it yourself. But you have to store it well!"
Tang Meng looked into the file curiously. Nearly instantaneously, his jaw dropped, and he nearly fell to the ground. He exclaimed, "Damn! We're going to be rich!"
Tang Meng shouted as both his hands began shaking. He pulled the documents out excitedly as he began flipping through them!
"Damn, this, this… is too much. How can we possibly manage this? Six companies, dozens of properties, and thousands of employees!"
Tang Meng's eyes were about to roll to the back of his head! Screaming and shouting excitedly, it was as if he lost all his senses as he began blabbering uncontrollably!
In the half-hour that followed, plenty of guests came streaming in. The Ordinary People's Clinic's front door was flooded with people. Even the sports cars that were stopped outside lined themselves all the way to the bank's entrance that was a hundred meters away!
Amidst these customers that came to give their blessings, there were some that Ling Yun recognized, as well as some that he had met before. There were some he couldn't call by name. Some of them were people he couldn't have imagined!
Liu Li had come with her swollen belly. Together with her, the nanny that was taking care of her followed as well.
Ling Yun's form teacher, Kong Xiuru, came too. Since Ling Yun returned from Turtle Island, he hadn't had the opportunity to meet Kong Xiuru yet. Furthermore, he didn't expect her to make it here as well.
However, Kong Xiuru was here as his form teacher, so Ling Yun told Zhang Ling to take her into the clinic.
Qin Qiuyue's neighbor from Linjiang Road, Li Hongmei, had come too even though he had no idea how she could have known.
Dao Yong came personally as well. Now, Ling Yun was his boss' boss. He definitely had to show his face here.
However, Ling Yun didn't expect the internet cafe's boss, Xu Bingyan, to show up as well. Once she arrived, she offered Ling Yun some money as a congratulatory gift. Even though it wasn't much, it was still out of goodwill.
The provincial hospital's other surgical chief made his appearance as well. Zhong Qingshan was here!
Song Zhengyang had arrived too. Naturally, Tang Meng welcomed him with open arms.
The Ordinary People's Clinic was already packed, but the guests continued streaming in. Even Ling Yun felt spooked by this!
When Xue Meining had her birthday celebration, every single oldie that congratulated her visited again!
Qingxi District's Public Security Bureau's Section Head, Liu Jinlai, showed up too. He even brought a huge gift.
Ling Yun had received so many gifts that his hands were getting soft. He was way too busy. So, he told Tang Meng to pull out a few tables from the entrance of the clinic and got Ning Lingyu and Long Wu to come over.
Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were in charge of receiving the gifts. Ning Lingyu and Long Wu were in charge of recording their names. The four of them were so busy that they started perspiring non-stop.
It was truly a huge profit for Ling Yun today!
However, he saw how the number of guests increased and how the number of cars outside had created a long line on both sides of the street. It was so long that with one look, one wouldn't be able to see the end of it. Ling Yun was thoroughly perplexed.
"Tang Meng, what's going on? Why are there so many people? I don't even know them. Why are they sending me gifts?"
Ling Yun pulled Tang Meng, who was busy receiving gifts, aside as he asked in a low voice.
Tang Meng chuckled as he said mysteriously, "Brother Yun, you don't know about this… this is one of China's specialties…"
"Brother Yun, think about it. What kind of person is Grandpa Xue? Alright, we won't mention him. Let's talk about Uncle Xue, what kind of person is he?
"He came down to offer you a gift. Obviously, he'll bring people he's close with to offer their blessings too. Do you think they wouldn't come like that?
"Think about it, Uncle Long delivered a gift to you too. He just has to say the word and make a call. Who wouldn't come down after that?
"If one person calls for ten, and the others do the same…
"And don't forget, my father and Uncle Li are huge figures too. Now, they're still in an emergency meeting. After that, they'll be here to congratulate you too. Did you think that those people who monitor the political balance so tightly wouldn't come as well?"
Tang Tianhao and Li Yifeng had just concluded their emergency meeting. They had only one topic, the problem on the rights of those 100 acres of land. The people in the meeting included Qingshui City's political chief. During the meeting, he sent a few messages out. With that, was there even a need for Li Yifeng or Tang Tianhao to say anything?
Qingshui City's medical chief, political chief, and underground boss had come to offer their blessings. Anyone who chose not to pay a visit was definitely dumb!
Ling Yun furrowed his brows as he said to Tang Meng, "Don't let any unfamiliar faces stay here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Tell them to head straight to Shangri-La Hotel!"
He had no choice. There were far too many people here. Those who came without gifts had to be sent away.
Now, it was already past 9:30 am. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin. However, the inside and outside of the clinic were completely packed!
On the crossroad of Gufeng Road and Qingxi Road, the traffic was completely out of control. Any place near the junction was filled with parked cars!
Qingshui City was going crazy!
"Chick, you're in big trouble…" On the south-eastern corner next to the BMW, those five nouveau riches stepped out of the car. Abing stared at the grand situation before him as he muttered with a dark expression.
If it were possible, Abing wished that he had never met Chick.
The five of them had encountered many huge situations in their lives. However, this was the first time they encountered something so grand, shocking, and crazy.
It wasn't because the place was overly packed, it was because the number of people going in and out of the clinic was overwhelming. In fact, there were lots of people they recognized, and they were all powerful people in Qingshui City.
Brother Fei and Haozi had even seen their fathers there.
"Brother Bing, what do we do? What now?" Other than eating a lot, Haozi wasn't normally very bold. Seeing this sight unfold before him, he was so scared that he was about to pee his pants. He was losing his wits.
Chick had already lost his will to retort. He didn't have the mood to look at pretty girls anymore. Even though he stood in the shade, he couldn't stop perspiring.
This karma was a little too overpowering for him.
…
Many people were adept at sending gifts. After sending their gift, they gave a few congratulatory words before leaving.
There were some who brought larger gifts as well. The reason they came was to suck up to the main character, so they refused to leave. There was nothing they could do about that.
Furthermore, there were some who decided to stay and watch after they delivered their gifts, refusing to leave. However, there were far too many people in the clinic, so they could only wait outside.
There were even some who didn't know what was going on. They only knew that the Ordinary People's Clinic was opening today at the junction of Gufeng Road and Qingxi Road, so they came with a gift.
Tang Meng listened to Ling Yun's orders. When he received the gifts, he sent those that he didn't recognize to the Shangri-La Hotel. He told them that they were prepared to receive them and provide a good meal.
With that, the pressure in the Ordinary People's Clinic began to ease. Otherwise, there was no telling how much messier it would get.
Not to mention Ling Yun, even Tang Meng didn't expect such a shocking turnout!
Towards the very end, Ling Yun didn't bother talking to random people who came to congratulate him. Smiling plainly, he watched the guests enter, offer a red packet, then leave as if they had just completed an important mission.
"Interesting. Even though they don't know who I am, they're doing this…" Watching all these people stream in and out, he said this with surprise.
Ling Yun watched the others as many more sets of watery eyes stared right back at him over another person's shoulder and head.
Every single beauty who knew Ling Yun was thoroughly shocked. This was a grand showing, and this boy was the only person who could unwittingly make it happen.
Was this really just a small clinic?
Even a wedding held by Qingshui City's important figures wouldn't have had such a turnout.
"He's truly excellent…"
The stunning beauties rushed to watch that white-robed, handsome, and smiling figure. Their hearts trembled as they began mumbling quietly.
At this time, Ling Yun's heart trembled as he gently pushed the crowd aside, walking towards the road.
