Chapter 67 Have Powerful Connections
“Do you have other prescriptions for beautifying and skincare? I’ll buy them.” Wu Yuting grabs Li Yong by his arm and shakes it slightly as if she is in a close relationship with him.
Although she gives off a nice smell, Li Yong hastens to take two steps back and keeps a distance with her, saying with blinking eyes, “No, I don’t have any more. I mean it.”
Is she kidding? She is the opponent of Han’s Group. Even Li Yong has more prescriptions, he cannot sell them to her!
Wu Yuting rolls her big eyes and suddenly flushes, saying gently, “Emm, I still owe you 28 minutes’ kissing. When do you want to have it?”
“No, I don’t want it anymore.” Li Yong says. He would rather let her keep it.
“Ah? Why don’t you want it?” Wu Yuting is confused!
Li Yong is even more confused! He doesn’t want to take advantage of her, but she is now confused and wonders why. Is she flirting with him? Is there any woman who will force others to kiss her? Is her kiss so invaluable?
When Li Yong doesn’t know how to answer her, Wu Dan, who gets annoyed for waiting too long, shouts furiously, “Are you leaving or not? Why do you talk with him for so long? If you are not leaving, I will leave you behind.”
“Brother, I am coming.” Wu Yuting answers and then smiles at Li Yong, saying, “Our cooperation has a promising prospect. Haha... Wait for my call. I will make an appointment with you later.”
“Poison me? I don’t want to be poisoned.” Li Yong shivers for a bit. It shocks him that this woman should be so evil.
After Wu Yuting leaves, Li Yong also takes a taxi directly back to the Yong Kang Clinic.
Besides the fact that Sun Qiang is watching Tian Baiqing busily working, there are no other things.
Li Yong pats Sun Qiang’s shoulder, which startles Sun Qiang. When Sun Qiang realizes it is Li Yong, he hurries to say with a grin, “This is true love. 100% true love.”
“Good luck.” Li Yong gives a faint smile and wishes him luck, saying seriously, “Yet, you cannot let it hinder your job.”
“Okay, okay.” Sun Qiang hastens to agree and then thinks of his job as the security guard.
Then, Li Yong goes to the accounting office to check the accounts over the past week. When he learns that the income is 120,000, he feels rather pleased. Although the amount is far less than the money he can get from curing a patient himself, the money is from the underclass patients. He is pleased not for the income but the fact that his clinic can serve the common people.
He also finds out that most of the patients who come here are alien workers who come to other places from their faraway hometown. Although they suffer others’ contempt and indifference, they are still making contribution to the development of the country. Yet, their medical insurance and social security benefits are not with them. Once they are diagnosed with critical illnesses, they must go back to their hometown unless they cannot.
If they can see a doctor in other places with the same medicare reimbursement benefits and the fee is affordable, why will they travel all the long way back home while suffering the pain of illness?
What Li Yong wants to do is to ensure every patient can enjoy the benefits of medical insurance regardless, whether they buy the insurance or not. He believes that any precondition is an act of disrespect for the weak.
The precondition that the government sets on the medical insurance is bitterly disappointing.
The medicine always has a profit margin as much as several times of the cost. Even if he reduces the price by a half, Li Yong can still have a considerable income.
He also understands that this clinic is his own property. He doesn’t need to pay for the rent, or he will not have an income of 120,000.
Certainly, even without income, Li Yong doesn’t feel bothered either.
Deep in his memories, the ancient doctors’ spirit of retrieving the dying and rescuing the wounded encourages him greatly. It is the basic conscience of a doctor to sympathize with the weak and help them.
It may not be the doctors’ fault but the liability of the social system.
Right then, a group of people come into the clinic dressed in the same clothes like the city inspectors. Some of them carry sticks in their hands, making a show of force and looking arrogant.
The leading person is a tall and fat officer in a suit. He rushes into the consulting room and looks around angrily with his eyes narrowed, shouting in a loud voice, “Who is the boss? Get your ass here.”
The patients in the queue are terrified. Pushed by the intruders, they are scattered.
Liu Lingyin is also freaked out and hastens to go forward, saying fearfully, “Director Wang, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Hmm. I’ve sent you three notices but you still ignore laws and don’t take action. Tell you what, your medicine price is not aligned with the state-set price. You’ve broken the law. Today I will close down your clinic and punish you heavily. Now all of you leave here right now, including the patients. Leave...” Director Wang shouts out loud in an uncontrollable rage as if he were treating people who have killed his father.
As he shouts, the people he brings here start to repel the patients and staff of the clinic. For those who don’t leave, they will take up their sticks to threaten them, striking a posture to hit them.
They scare the children into crying and make the patients run away.
Although Liu Lingyin feels frightened, she is not flurried at all. She stops Director Wang’s words and says loudly, “Director Wang, we don’t break the law. On what grounds do you say we have violated the law?”
“On what grounds? Hmm. Don’t you see the notices I sent to you? The related government department has set the price standard. Why do you set your own? And you should reduce it by so much? Do you think we are useless?”
Director Wang questions her in bold and straightforward terms.
Liu Lingyin snorts and says more loudly, “For those who have no money to see a doctor, do they have to wait for death? We even provide free treatment for some patients, let alone reduce the medicine price. We show earnest respect for life. We are considerate of our patients. We are doing good deeds. How come you claim that we’ve broken the law?”
“Yeah, she has a point! Those big hospitals which charge so much don’t break the law, but you dare claim that this small clinic has violated the law for charging much less. Shouldn’t you support such clinics?” A middle-aged male patient standing behind Liu Lingyin also questions Director Wang.
“You are conducting a rat race and raiding the market. Since you don’t obey the state regulations, you’ve broken the law. Expel all of them and close down the clinic.” Director Wang flushes with shame for being asked and trembles with anger. He rushes towards the middle-aged man directly and takes him down with a kick.
“Stop it. How can you beat others at will?” At the moment, Sun Qiang, who is staring blankly at Tian Baiqing, gets alerted by the noises outside and hastens to run downstairs with his two bodyguards.
When Director Wang sees Sun Qiang, he is slightly surprised and asks, “Mr. Sun, why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here? I am the security guard here. You dare make trouble here. Are you trying to disgrace me?” Sun Qiang asks arrogantly.
Terrified by his words, Director Wang hastens to say in a cold sweat, “Mr. Sun, I am ordered to come here and don’t know you work here. May I know whether this clinic belongs to your family?”
“No.” Sun Qiang says.
Director Wang stands up straight and calms down instantly, saying with laughter, “Mr. Sun, since this clinic is not your family’s, please don’t put your finger into this. The clinic must be closed down today.”
“How dare you!” Sun Qiang shouts angrily. It has been the second day since he started working here. If the clinic gets closed down while he is at present, how can he report to Li Yong?
After Sun Qiang shouts out loud, the people brought by Director Wang dare not move. After all, the two bodyguards behind Sun Qiang are standing there calmly with their arms in front of their chests. If they do make any move, they may not be able to prevail.
However, Director Wang snorts and says aloofly, “Mr. Sun, I am sorry. If this is your family’s clinic, I can give you the face. Now you just don’t step into this. It is an order given by my seniors. I have to do it regardless.”
Saying that, Director Wang pauses for a second and then suddenly shouts out loud, “Listen, get doing.”
Sun Qiang gets really mad but he cannot beat the people brought by Director Wang. They are working for the government. If he does beat them, despite no worry from getting big trouble, once the situation becomes severe, he doesn’t know how to explain to his family.
Right then, Li Yong opens the door of the accounting office and strides out. He takes a glance over Director Wang and says causally, “Qiang, what are you waiting for? Just kick these people out for me.”
Seeing Li Yong show up, Sun Qiang feels delighted. He gets emboldened when hearing what Li Yong said. Since Li Yong asks him to do it, he will have enough reason to justify himself in front of his family.
He wouldn’t come here to work if it were not for his grandpa Sun Shijie’s order. Sun Shijie asked him to obey the arrangement of Li Yong and follow his lead.
When Li Yong just finishes talking, Sun Qiang punches Director Wang immediately, beating him so hard that he keeps screaming with his hands on the face. Then Sun Qiang curses at him, “Bastard, how dare you don’t give me face! Don’t you want to live?”
Then he turns around to order the two bodyguards, “Beat them hard.”
The two bodyguards take action after being ordered and go at the people brought by Director Wang immediately.
They must do something at a critical moment for their high pay. Otherwise, they will be fired.
Apparently, they will not beat the people to death. They know what they should do, so they just injure them and scare them away.
They can easily take down these weak trouble-making people though they are common fighters. The trouble-makers who acted so arrogantly and regarded the patients as prisoners fall into great confusion and retreat with continuous screaming. They leave the clinic very soon.
Director Wang boils with anger and curses while pointing at the door of the clinic, “You bastards, how dare you beat the government officers? You are doomed. I will send you all into prison.”
Then he turns around to yell at his men, “Call the police. Just call the police.”
An assistant beside him reminds him in a gentle voice, “Director Wang, I think this clinic is not simple. Even Sun Qiang, the son of a rich family, works here only as a security guard. He just acts as told by the young man without caring about the consequence. As far as I can see, the young boss should have powerful connections.”
“Even if he has powerful connections, can he beat us then? Who doesn’t have connections? No matter what connections he has, I am not done with him.” Director Wang goes into a rage and cannot calm down. Urged by him, the people he brings here take out their phones and make eye contact with each other. Then they call the police together.
