"A mere delivery guy is throwing a tantrum?"
Meng Wencheng sneered, full of disdain. "As long as you make a house call, I'll pay you five hundred thousand for the consultation fee!"
Five hundred thousand for a house call was already an outrageously high fee for many doctors.
Yang Rongrong said smugly, "Li Se, did you hear that? Five hundred thousand for a house call. With your current abilities, you might not even earn five hundred thousand in ten years. Don't you think it's a lot? Hurry up and come with us for the house call. It's not like I, your old classmate, am not looking out for you. Only we can offer you such a high consultation fee!"
"You don't need to be too happy. Five hundred thousand might be a astronomical figure to you, but to me, Meng Wencheng, it's just a drop in the bucket. If you can cure my sister's cold, there might even be a tip!" Meng Wencheng said.
Li Se found it somewhat amusing. He wondered how many wealthy individuals had offered him consultation fees of over ten million. Now, a mere five hundred thousand was being flaunted as if it were a great favor. Of course, it had nothing to do with the consultation fee itself. If Meng Wencheng had a better attitude and his sister's condition was severe, he would have been willing to make a house call. But for a simple cold, he certainly wouldn't. He certainly didn't care about the five hundred thousand.
"Are you done talking?" Li Se looked at them.
"Aren't you going to pack up and come with us?" Yang Rongrong said impatiently. "What's so interesting about these patients? They're all poor. You might not even earn a thousand dollars a day. Hurry up, pack your medical bag, don't waste time here. We're offering you five hundred thousand, so you should put in five hundred percent effort and seriousness. Do you think the consultation fee is given for free?"
The patients queuing up to see Li Se were all quite displeased to hear Yang Rongrong's words, but they were powerless to retort. Seeing Li Se cost them perhaps a hundred dollars, while Meng Wencheng offered fifty thousand. They truly couldn't compare.
"In my eyes, I treat every patient with seriousness, regardless of the money. My rule is that I only make house calls for difficult and complex cases. No matter how much is offered, I am willing to treat them. As for your sister, I apologize. Forget five hundred thousand, even five million, or fifty million, I will not make a house call!" Li Se said solemnly.
"Well said!"
Many patients couldn't help but cheer. This was what a doctor should be, embodying medical ethics!
Meng Wencheng and Yang Rongrong's faces darkened upon hearing this. Li Se was being so uncooperative, and they had offered a consultation fee of five hundred thousand. He wasn't even tempted?
"Kid, one million, is that enough?" Meng Wencheng said coldly.
"Li Se, did you hear that? One million! I bet you've never seen so much money in your life. Why don't you thank Young Master Meng quickly? If it weren't for him, you'd never have a chance to touch so much money," Yang Rongrong said arrogantly once more.
In her eyes, Li Se was just a nobody, a nobody who delivered takeout. Even if he was now a divine doctor, his income was probably meager. One million was definitely an astronomical figure!
"I told you, I won't make a house call even for fifty million. Please leave," Li Se said indifferently.
"Are you ungrateful?" Yang Rongrong was getting angry. "Do you really think calling you a divine doctor means you can act all high and mighty? Who do you think you are? You're just a delivery guy. One million is considered showing you respect by Young Master Meng. Otherwise, you're nothing!"
"How can you speak so outrageously?"
"Even if the esteemed Divine Doctor Li refuses a house call, you're being so aggressive?"
"Do you really think having a little money makes you invincible!"
"..."
Many patients were quite displeased. Meng Wencheng and Yang Rongrong were speaking too offensively.
"Am I wrong?" Yang Rongrong puffed out her chest, her face full of arrogance. "Is a consultation fee of one million still too little? Do you really want us to offer fifty million? You poor people, do you even know what one million means? I bet you'll never see one million in your lifetime!"
The patients looked upset, but at this moment, they didn't know how to retort. For many patients present, earning one million was indeed very difficult, and some had not even seen a million dollars yet. Thus, being mocked by Yang Rongrong, they were unable to fight back.
"Li Se, why are you still sitting there? Come with us for the house call. You might not earn a million in your lifetime seeing patients here. This is a favor from Young Master Meng, you should be grateful!" Yang Rongrong said with a slight disdain, crossing her arms.
Li Se didn't know what to say. The sense of superiority these two possessed was simply too strong. He pointed towards the door and said, "Stop disturbing me while I'm treating patients. Get out!"
"What do you mean?" Yang Rongrong asked indignantly.
Meng Wencheng also did not expect Li Se to maintain this attitude, and he became displeased. "Aren't you tempted by one million? Let me tell you, offering you one million for a house call is showing you respect. With this one million, I could invite many renowned doctors!"
"Then go invite renowned doctors!" Li Se was too lazy to waste more words on them. "Qiangzi, see them out!"
Xu Qiang walked in. His imposing figure exuded an aura of pressure.
Upon seeing Xu Qiang's appearance, Meng Wencheng and Yang Rongrong were startled and naturally felt some fear.
"What are you doing? If you dare to touch me, I'll sue you in court!" Meng Wencheng shouted.
"Get out!" Xu Qiang said only two words.
Meng Wencheng was somewhat fearful but wouldn't back down. He glared fiercely at Li Se, "You wait, I'll make you regret offending me, Meng Wencheng!"
"Li Se, you're too impulsive!" Yang Rongrong scoffed.
However, just as they were about to leave, a figure entered, holding a banner. The moment he saw Li Se, he laughed heartily, "Divine Doctor Li, this is for you!"
The person who entered was none other than Cui Bo. After several days of observation, his mother had not had any relapses. He had come specifically to present Li Se with a banner inscribed with "Miraculous Hands, Spring Revival."
"Mr. Cui, you're too kind. How is your mother's health now?" Li Se asked.
"Thanks to your medical skills, my mother has fully recovered," Cui Bo said with emotion.
"President Cui?"
Meng Wencheng was shocked to see Cui Bo. "Why are you here?"
"Meng Wencheng?" Cui Bo was also surprised. "Are you looking for Divine Doctor Li for treatment?"
"I want him to make a house call," Meng Wencheng sneered. "But he's ungrateful. He refused to make a house call even after I offered him one million, and he's acting all high and mighty!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Bo's expression turned grim. "You dare to be disrespectful to Divine Doctor Li? Apologize, or effective immediately, I will cancel all cooperation with your Meng family!"
The words stunned Meng Wencheng. The Meng Group had very deep cooperative ties with the Cui family. The Meng family had profited significantly from Cui family projects over the years. But he never expected Cui Bo to turn against him for Li Se.
"Mr. Cui, this..." Meng Wencheng was greatly alarmed.
Cui Bo said sternly, "Apologize, or I will not provide any further projects to your Meng family in the future!"
