Chapter 497 Medical Conference
The next day.
Chen Xuan drove to Xuanji Hall and first inspected it. Yang Chaotian reported the development status of Xuanji Hall to Chen Xuan.
In the recent period, how many apprentices Xuanji Hall had recruited, what business it had taken on, its income, expenditure, and profit.
Chen Xuan was not very skilled in managing Xuanji Hall, but he heard the key point: Xuanji Hall's net profit recently exceeded five million.
Five million was not a lot, but compared to the previous zero profit, the growth rate was rocket-like.
As for the reason, according to Yang Chaotian, it was because Xuanji Hall was not only located in the city center but also repelled the Glorious Martial Arts Hall and gained significant attention. Many companies proactively sought cooperation.
In addition, many martial artists chose to join Xuanji Hall, strengthening its power.
In short, Xuanji Hall was developing rapidly on a broad and smooth path.
"Have any forces come to challenge us recently?" Chen Xuan asked.
Yang Chaotian smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, for a while, no one will probably come to challenge Xuanji Hall."
"Hmm?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Yang Chaotian smiled and said, "That's all thanks to your divine might, Mr. Chen. The news of the Glorious Martial Arts Hall's setback at Xuanji Hall has spread throughout the martial arts circle. Young Master Gao is from the Gao family of Yang County. Although people around are not afraid of Xuanji Hall, they will wait and see."
"Therefore, for a while, no one will probably come to challenge Xuanji Hall. Instead, many people will see Xuanji Hall's strength and want to cooperate with it."
"If Xuanji Hall can establish a foothold in the city center, commercial contracts will be endless, and more people will be recruited."
By the end, Yang Chaotian also looked expectant.
Chen Xuan felt amused and helpless.
If Young Master Gao knew that he had become Xuanji Hall's stepping stone to fame in the provincial capital, he would probably wish he were dead.
Next, Xuanji Hall had to show everyone that it had firmly established itself in its prominent location in the city center!
Leaving Xuanji Hall, Chen Xuan turned and walked into Renxin Medical Hall.
It was still early, and there were no patients yet.
Everyone in Renxin Medical Hall was gathered in front of a wall in the living room, their eyes trembling, their expressions excited,
with enthusiastic discussions erupting.
It was as if what was in front of them was a national treasure.
"Too amazing!"
"Wow, it must be left behind. From now on, this will be Xuanji Hall's supreme authority. I don't think the Industry and Commerce Association dares to trouble Renxin Medical Hall anymore!"
"With this, I can walk out of Renxin Medical Hall with my head held high and have more confidence than others."
Faces, figures flying, full of pride.
Just then, a voice sounded from behind: "What are you all looking at? So happy?"
Chen Xuan strode in.
Everyone turned to look at Chen Xuan and bowed, saying, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
This greeting was from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Old Liu, who had opposed Chen Xuan before, was full of admiration.
Lu Jian stepped forward and smiled, "Mr. Chen, what else can we be happy about? It's all because of your miraculous medical skills."
"Me?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Lu Jian waved to everyone, and the crowd parted, revealing a magnificent brocade banner on the wall.
Skillful hands, benevolent heart!
Presented to: Mr. Chen Xuan of Renxin Medical Hall.
Inscribed by: Old Master Fu!
"What's so surprising about this? It's just a brocade banner."
Amidst everyone's excited gazes, Chen Xuan frowned and waved his hand indifferently.
Seeing Chen Xuan's nonchalant demeanor, Lu Jian's mouth twitched, and others looked at Chen Xuan strangely.
Their gazes were as if Chen Xuan regarded gold bricks as dirt.
However, many also sighed, that Mr. Chen was indeed Mr. Chen, not caring about such a good thing.
Lu Jian couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, this is a brocade banner presented by Old Fu. With this banner, as long as we hang it in Renxin Medical Hall, the people from the Industry and Commerce Association will definitely not dare to trouble us. This is a supreme authority!"
Chen Xuan understood Lu Jian's meaning and said lightly, "That's quite good. Then find a good place to hang it first."
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to specifically clean the banner every day," Lu Jian said with a smile.
He thought Chen Xuan's arrival would bring many troubles to Renxin Medical Hall, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and Renxin Medical Hall took another step forward.
"Mr. Chen, if it continues to develop at this rate, Renxin Medical Hall might catch up with Jishe Medical Hall."
Lu Jian sighed.
"Jishe Medical Hall?" Chen Xuan frowned.
He found the name unfamiliar.
Lu Jian smiled and said, "Although Renxin Medical Hall has developed quite well in the provincial capital, it's not yet invincible. At the top of the pyramid is Jishe Medical Hall. The attending physician there is a divine doctor of the era, known as a living Hua Tuo."
"That Old Huang has extraordinary medical skills and an outrageous reputation in the provincial capital. He is also a standing director of the Provincial Medical Association. You know, my grandfather is not a standing director, just an ordinary director."
"It's fine. Don't worry, we will definitely surpass Jishe Medical Hall," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Lu Jian's breathing became rapid upon hearing this.
Old Liu and Old Ruan frowned upon hearing this.
Although they acknowledged Chen Xuan's medical skills, they still felt that Chen Xuan was a bit too arrogant.
How could Jishe Medical Hall maintain its top position in the provincial capital's medical field if they were not formidable? Could Chen Xuan alone contend with them?
Just then, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Chen is right, I also think it won't be long."
Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and a spirited old man walked in.
Upon seeing this old man, Lu Jian exclaimed in surprise, "Grandfather!"
"Old Lu!"
Others also greeted him.
"Mr. Chen, I'm ashamed that I couldn't help you during this period," Old Lu said apologetically.
"These are trivial matters that are not worth mentioning," Chen Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
"Grandfather, do you also think Mr. Chen can lead us at Renxin Medical Hall to overpower Jishe Medical Hall?" Lu Jian asked Old Lu, his expression somewhat excited.
Old Lu smiled and nodded.
Lu Jian's eyes lit up, and many others also became somewhat excited.
"And we don't have to wait for a long time," Old Lu said with a smile.
Lu Jian's gaze lingered on Old Lu for a few seconds, as if thinking of something, "Grandfather, are you referring to the medical association holding the Jiangnan Province Medical Conference?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Old Lu, full of anticipation.
Old Lu nodded in deep agreement, "I went to Kyoto for a meeting, all for this matter."
A burst of exclamations erupted around.
"The Medical Conference is going to be held!"
"Great!"
"Medical Conference?"
Chen Xuan frowned, "Old Lu, what medical conference?"
Old Lu was somewhat surprised that Chen Xuan didn't know about the Medical Conference.
Lu Jian quickly explained, "Mr. Chen, the Jiangnan Province Medical Conference is the most famous medical exchange conference in Jiangnan Province. All the famous doctors in Jiangnan Province will gather here, and cities are no exception. Even Jiangzhou, where Mr. Chen is from, will send representatives."
"A group of famous doctors will gather to compete in medical skills, and the final winner will be crowned the title of Jiangnan Medical King!"
"Besides the important honor, they will also be invited to join the Jiangnan Provincial Medical Association and become standing directors, possessing great power in the medical community."
Chen Xuan nodded, roughly understanding what was going on. In simpler terms, it was a competition of medical skills.
Lu Jian was excited, "Grandfather, your medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and now with Mr. Chen, with the two of you leading Renxin Medical Hall, Old Huang of Jishe Medical Hall will have to hand over the title of Medical King!"
"I'll pass..." Old Lu's old face blushed, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
"What's wrong, Grandfather?" Lu Jian was stunned.
Chen Xuan also frowned.
Although Old Lu was respectful in front of him, Old Lu also possessed medical skills and was a proud person. Yet now he said he was not capable, which was equivalent to slapping himself in the face in public.
He was very curious as to why.
