"Dad, hurry and expose his trick!" Duan Wei urged.
Duan Lu remained silent for a long time, because Old Man Qian's body had truly recovered. This made him genuinely disbelieving; it was simply too exaggerated that five minutes of acupuncture had resolved such a condition. How was that possible?
"Dad, why aren't you speaking?" Duan Wei asked, confused.
Duan Lu didn't want to speak. He quietly got up, turned, and prepared to leave. Though he said nothing, it felt as though he had said everything.
Seeing his father's action, Duan Wei's expression turned grim. He already understood what was happening but was still incredibly shocked. Had it really been cured so easily? He didn't doubt his father's medical skills, as they were undoubtedly impeccable. Thus, without verification, he stood up and said to the man in the suit, "I'm leaving."
The man in the suit was bewildered. What had happened? First, the divine doctor Duan left, and now Doctor Duan was leaving. Could someone please tell him what was going on?
"Wait!" Li Se's voice suddenly rang out.
"What is it? Is there something?" Duan Wei was rather annoyed. When he turned to look at Li Se, his attitude was naturally poor. Why was this kid being so meddlesome? Was he reveling in his minor success?
"Apologize!" Li Se said, enunciating each word.
Duan Wei then remembered the bet they had made earlier. His face grew even more unsightly. After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry!"
"Louder!" Li Se said calmly.
"I'm sorry!!!" Duan Wei's voice increased significantly. After saying this, he left without looking back.
"Doctor Duan?" The man in the suit was completely confused. Why did they both leave?
"Thank you, young divine doctor. I'll sell you this shop!" Old Man Qian laughed heartily. He could already feel his body improving, and coupled with the reactions of the Duan father and son, he knew his condition was as good as it could possibly get. This truly was a divine doctor; he had almost failed to believe.
"Old Man Qian, you said you wanted to sell it to me..." The man in the suit's expression changed slightly.
"Heh heh, that was under the condition that the doctor you found cured my illness. But now that this young divine doctor has cured me, I will naturally sell the shop to him. Mr. Zhou, please see yourself out!" Old Man Qian said calmly.
The man in the suit, referred to as Mr. Zhou, immediately looked sullen. He glanced at Li Se and said fiercely, "This isn't over!"
After delivering this parting threat, Mr. Zhou then stood up and left.
"By the way, Old Man Qian, although it's already healed, it's still best to be cautious. Avoid alcohol and smoking, eat small, frequent meals, consume low-fat foods, and don't eat too much for dinner..." Li Se said, then paused. "How about this, I'll prescribe you some medicinal cuisine. Eat it for a period, and there will be nothing to worry about. It will also be very beneficial for your future health."
"Then I'll trouble the young divine doctor!" Old Man Qian beamed, unable to contain his joy. This deal was truly worth it.
Originally, Old Man Qian was selling the property in the capital to Mr. Zhou for around forty million yuan, but he ultimately sold it to Li Se for thirty million, a significant reduction. This effectively meant the consultation fee was around ten million yuan, considering Li Se could likely sell the property for over forty million.
After signing the contract, the property officially became Li Se's.
"Brother-in-law, you're truly amazing!" Tang An said with adoration. "So you really are a divine doctor?"
Li Se rolled his eyes. "What else did you think I was, just bragging?"
"Amazing! You're not just a little better than that Ye Bowen," Tang An said, giving a thumbs-up. Initially, he had some doubts about Li Se's medical skills, but after today's events, he was thoroughly convinced. His newly recognized brother-in-law's medical skills were truly extraordinary.
It took a few days to sort out the shop. It was mainly simple renovations, focusing on soft furnishings rather than hard installations. With Tang An's help, it was completed within days. Next was the medicinal herbs.
Li Se placed great importance on the quality of medicinal herbs. The price was negotiable, but the herbs themselves had to be good and not substandard.
"Are you the manager of this Jishi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic?" At this moment, a young woman walked in, wearing a professional skirt suit and exuding an air of superiority.
"I am. Is there something you need?" Li Se asked.
The woman handed him a business card. "This is my company. From now on, all the medicinal herbs for your clinic must be sourced from us!"
Li Se glanced at it. It was from a company called Jirentang Pharmaceutical Company. Since he needed herbs, he said, "I understand. I'll investigate. If your company's herbs are good, I'll consider it."
"Consider?" Hu Qingqing frowned slightly. "Do you think I'm here to discuss this with you?"
"What?" Li Se looked at the woman in surprise. "Are you going to force a sale?"
"Heh!" Hu Qingqing sneered. "I'm here to inform you that from today onwards, all your medicinal herbs must be purchased from my company!"
"What if I don't?" Li Se frowned.
"You won't? Kid, you'd better think carefully. Go and ask around, which clinic in this area doesn't source their herbs from our company? Believe it or not, I can shut down your clinic with just a word," Hu Qingqing threatened.
"I don't believe you!" Li Se raised an eyebrow and casually tossed the business card away. "I might have considered it before, but seeing your company's approach of forceful sales, your herbs are likely not any good either. Get out. I won't accept your company's herbs!"
"Say that again?" Hu Qingqing became somewhat enraged.
Li Se simply ignored Hu Qingqing and went back to his own business.
"Fine, fine, fine. You just wait!" Hu Qingqing was furious. She directly took out her phone and dialed a number. "Cousin, where are you? There's a clinic here that won't buy from my company. Come over. Okay, I'll wait for you!"
After finishing the call, she said smugly, "Kid, you just wait and regret it!"
About ten minutes later, a man in a suit walked in. As soon as he entered, he showed his identification. "I am Liu Xianwei, the section chief of the Health Department. Have you completed all the necessary permits for this clinic?"
Li Se replied, "My clinic hasn't officially opened yet. Some permits are still being processed. Is there a problem?"
Liu Xianwei said coldly, "Of course, there's a problem. A huge problem. Shut down immediately. Furthermore, your medicinal herbs must be sourced from this company. That's the rule!"
