After lunch, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng continued their tasks, whereas Ling Yun returned to the Ordinary People's Clinic.
Xue Meining, Miao Xiaomiao, and Yao Rou were there. Of course, there were also the three beautiful nurses.
"Wah! The boss is here!"
Shang Xiaomeng's eyes were sharp, so she was the first to see Ling Yun's arrival. Her eyes widened, and she shrieked. Her huge chest bobbed up and down from her exaggerated movements. That made the male patients swallow hard.
Sun Yujiao was focused on taking care of her patients. Her beautiful brows knitted slightly, and the corners of her mouth were drawn in a tight line. She took her work very seriously and only turned slightly towards the door when she heard Ling Yun had come. She got back to her work immediately, though her face turned slightly red.
"Yo, Ling Yun's here? How were the college entrance examinations? You can probably be the top in the country, right? Poor you, sweating so much in the hot weather. Come, take a seat and drink some water to cool down…"
Li Jinlian was the most overboard. This mature woman was bold and sultry. She got up immediately and went up to Ling Yun, caring about nothing else once she saw Ling Yun enter. Her pair of seductive eyes were sending waves of electricity to Ling Yun.
Sun Yujiao and Shang Xiaomeng tutted at the scene. Why didn't she just bury herself deep into his arms then?
"I'm not thirsty." Ling Yun gave Li Jinlian a smile and then looked at the room full of patients. Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao each occupied a compartment, carefully treating the patients. They were too busy and were unable to emerge even though they knew Ling Yun had arrived.
"Have they had lunch?" Ling Yun asked pointedly.
"How would we have the time to eat?" Li Jinlian protested. "Boss, look at the number of patients. We can't possibly let them wait here for nothing, right?"
There were too many people indeed. The four benches they prepared weren't enough, so they added eight more. Even so, some still had to stand.
"Hmph! Didn't you all want to save the dying and help the wounded? Do you know how difficult it is now?"
Ling Yun's heart winced with pain and anger. He told Yao Rou the day after the grand opening of the clinic that his consultation fee was three hundred thousand yuan, nothing less. It was ruthlessly abolished by Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao even before it was implemented!
"Oh my god, Big Brother Yun is crazy for money," Xue Meining said when she heard about the consultation fee.
Miao Xiaomiao scorned him directly and scolded him for being shameless and greedy…
Of course, the price that these two beauties paid was enormous. They started early and worked until late every day. They didn't even have time to eat with the clinic full of sorrowful people waiting for treatment. They couldn't possibly leave them and head out to play, right?
"Rou Er, how much in consultation fees did we receive today?" Ling Yun asked Yao Rou with a smile.
"There were a total of seventy patients this morning. We received three thousand five hundred yuan…" Yao Rou smiled gently at Ling Yun.
"Wow, that's fifty yuan per person…" Ling Yun knitted his brows tightly. This consultation fee was dirt cheap…
The Ordinary People's Clinic had become completely ordinary.
"Rou Er, have you eaten?" Ling Yun asked.
Yao Rou lifted her hand and stretched her index finger towards Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao. She then shook her head quietly.
They hadn't eaten, so how could she? That was her message.
Utterly annoyed, Ling Yun shouted in Xue Meining's direction. "You two take your time, I'll bring them out for food!"
Ling Yun pulled Yao Rou along and then asked the three nurses, "I'll treat you all to a scrumptious meal, do you want to go?"
"Really?" Li Jinlian's body trembled with delight. She got up immediately to change her clothes.
"What? Food?" Shang Xiaomeng was famished. She swallowed hard when she heard about it. However, she hesitated as she looked back at the full clinic and the two doctors.
Sun Yujiao, on the other hand, showed no reaction. She continued what she was doing.
Ling Yun couldn't be bothered with them. "We're going now. Come with us if you want to eat, if not, you can continue working…"
Xue Meining was elated to know that Ling Yun was here, but she didn't think that he would ignore her sister and her to bring Yao Rou and the three nurses for lunch. That shock caused her to almost deploy the needle wrongly.
"Please wait a moment!"
Xue Meining apologized to the patient in front of her. She couldn't concentrate on her treatment, so she bit her lip and ran out, staring at Ling Yun with her pair of glistening eyes.
Too biased!
She had started on the Spirit Potency Art and was able to absorb some spiritual energy. She infused it through the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. She was improving vastly by the day under Ling Yun's guidance.
Xue Meining succeeded Miracle Doctor Xue's Traditional Chinese Medicine methods and had her own successes. She got even more powerful after she learned the Spirit Potency Art and had now created a name for herself in the Ordinary People's Clinic.
More and more patients were seeking treatment at the Ordinary People's Clinic. She felt that her hard work had paid off and was waiting for Ling Yun to finish his college entrance examinations so she could show off her achievements to him. The current results were too far off from what she pictured, so she couldn't take it.
"Big Brother Yun, you…" She ran out to see Ling Yun hugging Yao Rou by her waist. Tears welled up from the depths of her eyes.
Miao Xiaomiao didn't come out. Her hand only paused ever so slightly before she deployed the needle at the patient's acupuncture point accurately.
"You pulled the patients here, you treat them. However, how can they not have lunch? I'm bringing them for lunch, you two can stay here and treat the patients yourselves…"
Good guys, good deeds? There was a price to pay for it. This was the price.
Ling Yun could still remember the night of his rebirth. He was sprawled in a pool of blood on the ground. So many cars passed by, but none stopped for him!
Not a single one!
Ling Yun pulled Yao Rou ruthlessly out of the clinic without pity. He didn't care if no one else was going to follow him.
Li Jinlian rushed out of course, and Shang Xiaomeng caved to her hunger and came out as well. Only Miao Xiaomiao, the teary Xue Meining, and the proud Sun Yujiao were left in the clinic.
Xue Meining's tears flowed freely like pearls falling off a broken necklace.
Outside the clinic.
"Hello, is this the best clinic in Qingshui City? I heard that this place can help me get my youth back and is also cheap…"
A limousine parked outside of the Ordinary People's Clinic, and down came a wealthy-looking middle-aged man. He stopped Ling Yun and asked politely.
"Yes, this place can get your youth back, but it's not cheap. The consultation fee is expensive!" Ling Yun smiled lightly.
"Didn't they say the consultation fee is fifty yuan? That isn't expensive. Or perhaps this is the wrong clinic?" That man looked confused.
"This is the right place, but you got the consultation fee wrong. It's three hundred thousand yuan!" Ling Yun told him without any misgivings.
"What! Three hundred thousand yuan!" The rich man was dumbfounded. "Ooi, you're bluffing me, right? Which clinic has a consultation fee of three hundred thousand yuan?"
He was annoyed, thinking that Ling Yun was joking with him.
"I'm the boss of this clinic, do you think I'm bluffing you?" Ling Yun smiled, pointing at the signboard of the Ordinary People's Clinic.
"You must be mad!" That rich man went back into his car with a plop!
Li Jinlian and Shang Xiaomeng were equally shocked… Three hundred thousand yuan as a consultation fee?
They looked into the clinic and thought back to the remuneration that Ling Yun was giving them. They then thought about how Ling Yun could save someone from the clutches of hell, finally understanding the conflict between Ling Yun and the two beautiful doctors.
Their boss wasn't doing charity, he opened the clinic to make lots of money!
Ling Yun didn't go too far. He found a seafood restaurant nearby and treated them to a good meal. They went back to the clinic after an hour.
There were far fewer patients when they got back, only about a dozen. Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao were still at it.
Ling Yun laughed inwardly and deliberately increased the volume of his voice. "Tell anyone else who walks in that the consultation fee is three hundred thousand yuan. Not a yuan less, do you understand?" he said to Shang Xiaomeng.
Shang Xiaomeng nodded like a woodpecker, her heart thumping excitedly.
"Come, Rou Er. Make a good pot of tea for me upstairs and give me a good massage. The seafood in that restaurant was good, but not much could be said about the tea!"
Ling Yun brought Yao Rou up to the second floor immediately, ignoring Xue Meining.
Xue Meining's eyes were red as she continued to treat her patients. She had to use the back of her hand to wipe her tears away repeatedly.
Ling Yun sat on the sofa like a king with a cruel smile as Yao Rou busied herself steeping tea for him. "Hmph, fifty yuan for treatment. My Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot is worthless then!"
Yao Rou brought the tea she steeped to Ling Yun and started her massage. Ling Yun moaned after a few kneads.
"Rou Er, your massage has improved greatly…"
"I paid a lot of tuition to learn from the best masseur so that I can serve you properly." Yao Rou smiled shyly.
"Good, good, my Rou Er is the best…"
Ling Yun had a snooze while the massage went on. After half an hour, Miao Xiaomiao dragged Xue Meining up to the second floor.
"Ling Yun, you'd better have a good explanation for this!"
