"Big Brother Yun, I was the one who gave the 200 million yuan to you!" Xue Meining whispered into Ling Yun's ear eagerly after he signed the contract.
"You're amazing!" Ling Yun told Xue Meining via telepathy and rubbed her sharp nose affectionately.
"How is it, Old Tang? Our hundred acres of land isn't so absurd after all, is it?" Li Yifeng whispered into Tang Tianhao's ears.
Tang Tianhao swallowed hard. This lad obtained money faster than stealing money. He stepped directly into the billionaire club with the blink of an eye.
This was a huge tornado!
Someone else was experiencing the same shock — Zhuang Tiande!
He was a medical practitioner himself and could roughly judge the value of the herbs that Miracle Doctor Xue gifted—at least a billion!
Some of them were simply not for sale. Some of the families gave these precious herbs to Miracle Doctor Xue to thank him for saving their lives or their family member's lives!
While the box of gold needles was of great use to Ling Yun, it wasn't very heavy. The same could be created as long as he bought the same amount of gold.
Therefore, even though the box of golden needles was precious and meaningful, it was nothing in the face of the check for two hundred million and the six companies.
Zhuang Tiande had been in the medical industry for decades and knew the industry inside out. The six companies from the Xue Family were at least worth 1.2 billion yuan in assets!
The total value of Miracle Doctor Xue's gift was at least 2.5 billion yuan!
Zhuang Tiande was losing his calm. Since he was known as the richest man in Qingshui City, he would lose face and be ridiculed if he went with his original plan of giving Ling Yun a five percent stake in his companies.
The five hundred million was enough to make him feel the pinch, any more would be akin to slicing pieces of his heart away!
The competitive Zhuang Meina squeezed out from nowhere and laid on Zhuang Tiande's shoulders.
"Daddy, a five percent stake in our company isn't enough, add another billion yuan!"
Zhuang Meina didn't want to lose to Xue Meining, neither did she want to let the Zhuang Family lose to the Xue Family on such an important occasion.
Zhuang Tiande's heart nearly went cold. One billion yuan wasn't just one yuan!
Zhuang Meina's reasons were plausible. "Daddy, there are so many people here, and look who they are. You are the richest man in Qingshui City, so it would be super embarrassing if you were to just take out 500 million yuan worth of shares today!"
"Moreover, look at how incredible Big Brother Yun is. His potential, I'm sure you can see it. He's so rich now, would he care about our five hundred million yuan?"
Zhuang Meina had unconsciously started adding "Big Brother" behind Ling Yun's name when she called him. It was a little awkward, but it made her feel closer to Ling Yun.
"We won't become poor because we give Big Brother Yun another billion yuan. We can give Big Brother Yun face and give ourselves face at the same time. What do you think?"
Zhuang Tiande gritted his teeth, frowning, unable to decide. He knew in his heart that his daughter was right. He was also thinking along the same line, but the amount of money made it difficult for him.
One and a half billion yuan was at most ten percent of his total wealth. However, it was possible that he would be able to leave a good impression on Ling Yun if he were to give it to him.
If it was five hundred million yuan, Zhuang Tiande would save one billion yuan, but Ling Yun wouldn't even bother with it. It wouldn't even cause a small ripple!
That would mean that it was a useless gesture!
Ling Yun smiled and glanced in the direction of Zhuang Tiande inadvertently, though he turned his eyes away immediately.
Nothing escaped his divine sense within the Ordinary People's Clinic.
Zhuang Meina's determination saved Zhuang Tiande and the Zhuang Family!
Zhuang Meina dared to give Ling Yun 1.5 billion yuan. That changed Ling Yun's perception of the Zhuang Family.
That wasn't because of the 1.5 billion yuan, he didn't even care if it was five billion yuan. Since he was about to start concocting medical pills, he would be able to get as much money as he wanted once they were being sold!
It was because Ling Yun was happy about the fact that the Zhuang Family wasn't all about money. Zhuang Tiande wasn't blinded. There was hope for him as long as he was willing to change.
Zhuang Tiande finally made up his mind after struggling for so long. One and a half billion yuan!
"Alright! I'll listen to you!" Zhuang Tiande agreed with his daughter. "However, the contract has already been drafted, how are we going to change it now?"
Zhuang Meina had thought it all out. "Daddy, don't you always carry a checkbook with you? Just write a check."
"Sigh, okay. You have made me poor, my dear daughter…" Zhuang Tiande laughed bitterly.
However, there were only nine digits on the check, making the most it could go be nine nines. Zhuang Tiande didn't care about that though, writing the check for nine hundred million!
One hundred million difference wasn't important, what was important was his face value!
Moreover, five percent of the Zhuang Family Pharmaceutical Group was worth five hundred million yuan minimally. It could flip many times over if the share prices shot up.
What was important was the decision. The rest were small matters.
Many onlookers were already guessing the contents of the inaudible conversation between Zhuang Tiande and Zhuang Meina. Zhuang Tiande handed the check and the share transfer agreement to Zhuang Meina.
"Give it to them!"
Zhuang Tiande suddenly felt a wave of relief rush over him. His body relaxed as he watched his younger daughter walk up with confidence. His thoughts were, however, on his older daughter, Zhuang Meifeng.
Meifeng, Daddy let you down. I've made amends to you today. I have given all of your shares to Ling Yun!
It's such a pity you're unable to see this…
Zhuang Tiande thought inwardly. The rim of his eye turned red, his heart throbbing with pain.
At this point, Zhuang Meina had already given the items to Su Lingfei, not forgetting to give Ling Yun an affectionate glance.
Ling Yun deliberately ignored her, which infuriated Zhuang Meina!
She was actually very happy in her heart. At least Ling Yun didn't drive her away today. At least he didn't reject the Zhuang Family today!
Su Lingfei felt her brain go blank when she saw the number on the check. These prominent people were playing with high stakes! That could trigger an economic earthquake in Qingshui City!
Ling Yun would become the hottest figure in the whole Jiangnan Province!
"The Qingshui City Zhuang Family's gift to Ling Yun is a check for nine hundred million yuan and five percent of the shares of the Zhuang Family Pharmaceutical Group!" Su Lingfei announced clearly.
"Oh my god!"
"F*ck!"
"This is crazy!"
Another huge uproar happened after Su Lingfei was done speaking!
The excitement could almost flip the entire roof of the clinic. The Zhuang Family bled 1.5 billion yuan!
Zhuang Meina had the most attention now. Her apricot eyes seemed to welcome spring as she sent gleeful glances to Ling Yun.
Let's see how you're going to ignore me in the future! Zhuang Meina thought to herself.
Zhuang Tiande also felt that his decision was right with the cheer of the crowd. This 1.5 billion yuan really earned him some pride!
"Big Brother Yun, what are you waiting for? Come and sign!"
Monkey see, monkey do. Zhuang Meina followed what Xue Meining did, taking out the documents for Ling Yun to sign personally.
Xue Meining pouted and stomped her foot angrily. There was no helping it.
Ling Yun simply bowed his head, signed the contract, and accepted the check.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhuang." Ling Yun used the Mystical Dragon Howl to send his thanks to everyone's ears.
Addressing Zhuang Tiande as Uncle Zhuang and the thank you showed that Ling Yun had forgiven Zhuang Tiande. At the same time, it also meant he had recognized the Zhuang Family. From now on, the Zhuang Family would be under his wing of protection as well.
Meifeng, don't worry, I won't let anyone touch your family as long as I'm here. Ling Yun vowed to himself.
Ling Yun wasn't stupid. He might not have paid attention to the happenings in the Zhuang Family, but it was obvious that Zhuang Tiande didn't have an easy life. He was practically begging Ling Yun.
He did kill nearly a hundred people in two villas of the Zhuang Family after all!
"This lad…"
Miracle Doctor Xue and Cui Lao continued smiling and nodding, expressing their approval and support.
"Oh my god, 1.5 billion yuan! Zhuang Tiande is really something! I wouldn't have that amount of money even if I were to sell all my family members and all our assets!" Brother Fei exclaimed fervently outside the clinic, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Big Brother Yun bagged the 1.5 billion yuan without any change in expression. Now that's impressive!" Abing's sharp eyes sparkled with an excitement he had never experienced before.
He finally understood why Tang Meng was willing to follow Ling Yun to the grave!
"Hey, how much is Big Brother Yun's net worth now?" Haozi asked. He was the most agitated amongst them all.
"At least three billion yuan," Abing replied.
Dandan couldn't bear to look anywhere else. "His net worth will soon exceed the combined net worth of our families…"
