Chapter 455 The Despicable Jinyuan Medical Hall
"Oh?"
Chen Xuan was a little surprised, not expecting such a connection between the two.
However, at the same time, Chen Xuan was relieved.
He had been worried that Shi Menglu was a relative of the Su family, and it would be difficult for him if she approached Su Yunxi to clarify things.
This current situation, however, made Chen Xuan breathe easier.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I just accidentally offended her, it's a trivial matter."
"It's best to avoid provoking that woman. I don't know if she's mentally sound, and she's so arrogant."
Su Yunxi warned, clearly having dealt with Shi Menglu before.
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
However, if Shi Menglu was overconfident, then Chen Xuan wouldn't be polite. He never showed mercy to his enemies.
In the afternoon, Chen Xuan, with nothing else to do, drove to Renxin Medical Hall.
The last time he visited Renxin Medical Hall, it was bustling with activity. But now, Renxin Medical Hall was extremely deserted. The receptionist was yawning, and other physicians and staff were either playing on their phones or computers.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he stepped into Renxin Medical Hall, Chen Xuan frowned.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, those playing on their phones quickly put them away, those dozing off quickly rubbed their faces and perked up. Everyone stood up and bowed to Chen Xuan.
After the previous incident, almost everyone knew that Chen Xuan was the owner of Renxin Medical Hall, so no one dared to be negligent.
"What's going on? Why isn't there a single patient?" Chen Xuan asked again, looking around.
The staff stammered and looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak up.
It was the receptionist who hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mr. Chen, it's all the fault of the newly opened medical hall."
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "The newly opened medical hall?"
"Yes, all our patients have gone to the newly opened Jinyuan Medical Hall."
"Why?"
The beautiful receptionist shook her head and said, "We don't know. The patients were many a few days ago, but today, from morning until now, we've only had one old customer who came for a cold and cough."
Chen Xuan muttered to himself, "What is Li Hongyan up to?"
"Mr. Chen, you're here!"
At this moment, Lu Jian walked out of the office. Upon seeing Chen Xuan, he quickly walked over, a more respectful expression on his face.
"What's going on with the newly opened martial arts hall?" Chen Xuan asked Lu Jian.
Lu Jian gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "I don't know what's gotten into Li Hongyan, but she started holding a free clinic event to celebrate their opening. They not only waive the registration fee but also don't charge for medicine, which is why so many customers have gone to their medical hall."
"Free clinic? Not even charging for medicine?"
Even Chen Xuan's eyes changed.
The Li family were all people who were fixated on money. How could they not charge?
"That's not all. These people are so shameless that they even have people stationed in front of our medical hall. Anyone who comes to our place for treatment is lured to their medical hall."
Chen Xuan looked up and indeed saw a few people standing in front of the medical hall, holding a thick stack of advertisements.
An elderly woman was about to come to Renxin Medical Hall for treatment but was pulled away by someone from Jinyuan Medical Hall.
"The Li family is truly shameless! This move is too vicious!"
"Who says not? Mr. Chen, should we also hold a free clinic event to counter their medical hall?" Lu Jian gritted his teeth and suggested.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "No need to worry. They won't be able to last for a few days. Their rent is leased, several million a year. Now, medicine prices are also rising steadily. They must be engaging in marketing, and they won't be able to sustain it for long."
Lu Jian nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Mr. Chen, you're right."
At this moment, the sound of an electric drill and a sledgehammer suddenly rang out.
The ground shook as if there was an earthquake.
"What's happening? Is someone renovating?" Chen Xuan asked.
Lu Jian explained, "Two days ago, a guild hall opened next door. It's in a state of semi-operation and semi-renovation. It should be them renovating."
Chen Xuan recalled and nodded, remembering that he had indeed seen a lot of renovation materials piled up nearby when he entered.
He nodded faintly and asked casually, "By the way, what's that guild hall called?"
"Xuanji Hall?"
Lu Jian said it casually, but Chen Xuan was stunned.
When did Xuanji Hall open here?
At this moment, Lu Jian said enviously, "This area is worth its weight in gold. Several forces that wanted to open guild halls in the location next door almost fought to the death, but it was finally taken by Master Bai of the White Dragon Merchant Association. But for some reason, the one opening today is not the White Dragon Merchant Association, but an unknown new force."
"Mr. Chen, isn't that strange?"
Chen Xuan understood immediately upon hearing this.
Last time, Master Bai, to thank him, had said he would let Xuanji Hall open a branch in a new location. He hadn't thought much of it, but he didn't expect it to be in such a prime location. Judging by Lu Jian's words, this place was quite sought after.
This time, Master Bai had probably given him a great gift!
"Yes, it's Xuanji Hall. Does Mr. Chen know them?" Lu Jian asked.
Chen Xuan said with a wry smile, "Yes, I know them, and I'm very familiar with them."
Lu Jian chuckled upon hearing this, "Then we can help each other in the future."
This was true. A guild hall often had injured people who could come to the medical hall for treatment, and the medical hall also needed the protection of the guild hall. They could be said to complement each other and help each other.
Chen Xuan smiled and said nothing, "I'm going out for a bit."
He planned to go to Xuanji Hall to take a look at the new Xuanji Hall.
"Then I'll get back to work," Lu Jian said.
Chen Xuan turned and walked towards the exit.
But at this moment, a sarcastic voice rang out, "Well, well, this is the famous Renxin Medical Hall. Why isn't there even a single customer?"
Chen Xuan looked up and saw Li Jiajia walking in with a man and a woman.
The man and woman behind Li Jiajia were the ones who had been luring customers outside Renxin Medical Hall earlier. They were still holding advertisements printed by Jinyuan Medical Hall.
Now, they dared to walk in so openly.
This was simply too much!
Many people from Renxin Medical Hall were furious about this.
Lu Jian stepped forward and said coldly, "This is Renxin Medical Hall. We do not welcome people from Jinyuan Medical Hall. See them out!"
"You have no right to speak here. I want to talk to your master!"
Li Jiajia gave Lu Jian a dismissive look, which made Lu Jian's eyes burn with anger.
After her investigation, Li Jiajia had already learned that Renxin Medical Hall was now under Chen Xuan's name.
She found it hard to believe that Divine Doctor Lu would transfer Renxin Medical Hall and the land to Chen Xuan for free. A man she had abandoned, what right did he have?
She was unwilling, she was enraged!
"Chen Xuan, it seems that this medical hall is getting worse under your care, not even having a single patient."
Li Jiajia said sarcastically to Chen Xuan, "I think in a few days, you'll have to close shop."
Chen Xuan wasn't angry and smiled faintly, "Renxin Medical Hall has been too busy lately, it's good to relax a bit."
"Relax? You're just putting on a brave face!"
Seeing the smile on Chen Xuan's face, Li Jiajia became even more annoyed.
When had this guy ever been so composed?
"Is that all? If not, please leave."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, issuing an eviction notice.
"Leave? How can we leave without discussing important matters?"
Li Jiajia hadn't humiliated Chen Xuan enough. She stretched out her hand, "Bring out the contract."
The young man behind her quickly took out the contract and respectfully handed it to Li Jiajia.
Li Jiajia grabbed the contract and threw it at Chen Xuan's face, saying, "Take a look."
