200: Chapter 198 Tangyu’s Conditions 200: Chapter 198 Tangyu’s Conditions Lu Youcai’s emotions were also surging; any man faced with such a situation would be incredibly excited, right?
That kind of ability— it’s about a man’s entire life, something all the money in the world cannot buy.
If one completely lost that ability, what would the meaning of their life be?
Even if he went to America, Lu Youcai was somewhat anxious, as after all, the chance of success there was only fifty percent.
And deep inside, Lu Youcai did not want to leave; being away for one or two years, upon returning he would find himself suddenly looking back in retrospect.
He was finally achieving some success, having just launched a project he poured two years of heart and soul into.
Leaving at this time was indeed hard to let go of.
So if he could stay and be fully assured of curing his illness, then why not do it?
“You are really willing to treat me?” Lu Youcai tried to compose himself as he asked.
Tangyu shook his head, “Not exactly.
I have always adhered to principles when practicing medicine; I do not use my medical skills lightly, especially for very serious illnesses like yours.”
Lu Youcai was startled.
Could this man be toying with him?
But that seemed unlikely.
Lu Youcai said, “What are your conditions?
Speak up.
It’s only right to pay for medical treatment, and naturally, I can’t expect you to treat me for free.
However, I would like to know what your principles are?”
“Humph.” With a light chuckle, Tangyu said, “My principle is actually very simple.
I provide treatment for free only to those whom I believe deserve my help.
Everyone else must pay a certain price, and it must be one that I accept.
Generally, only beauties can meet the conditions for my free treatment; there aren’t many others.
As for you, you are not within the free range, so you must pay a certain price.” Tangyu was quite candid.
Lu Youcai looked at Tangyu.
This man was truly independent, with a lot of personality, but that was not necessarily a bad thing.
“Of course, tell me what the price is, Tangyu, and I will pay if I can afford it,” Lu Youcai said.
Tangyu replied, “My condition is quite simple.
First, you just promised to stop pursuing Liu Shanshan.
I hope you can keep that promise.
If you can’t, it’s fine, but please pursue her fairly.
If Liu Shanshan is won over by you, I have nothing to say.
Second, I hope that your company will give as much work as possible to my company in the future.
That’s it, just these two conditions.”
“That’s it?” Lu Youcai asked with some surprise.
He was completely willing to agree to these two conditions.
Since he had already said he would back off from pursuing Liu Shanshan, then naturally he could not go back on his word, and he had indeed considered this matter seriously.
Regarding the second point, it goes without saying; it only brought benefits, not disadvantages, to his company.
Xinxin Culture and Art was quite capable in this aspect, offering reasonable prices as well.
Such a contract was mutually beneficial and could hardly be considered a demand.
“Yes, it’s that simple.
You’re a decent person, and I am willing to treat you,” Tangyu stated.
With a laugh, Lu Youcai replied, “Neither of these are real demands; it’s almost like you’re treating me for free.
I feel somewhat embarrassed.
Please state more conditions, I might feel better that way.” Gratitude shimmered in his eyes.
“No need, I never change what I say.
Once I give conditions, there won’t be any more.
To tell you the truth, you might not believe me; even if you were to give a price, you couldn’t afford what I would ask for, so it’s pointless,” Tangyu said, shaking his head with determination.
Once again, Lu Youcai was taken aback.
A price he couldn’t afford?
What kind of astronomical price would that be?
He could manage a few tens of millions.
Even if the price were ten million, he would agree.
Could it be that the price he wanted was far higher than that?
Unable to figure it out, Lu Youcai didn’t dwell on it.
He felt Tangyu had no reason to joke about this.
Perhaps there were secrets about himself that even he didn’t know.
Now, Lu Youcai suddenly realized that Tangyu’s background was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
He had always underestimated him.
What puzzled him even more was how such a person could end up working for a small company.
This question was even more complicated, and Lu Youcai chose not to think further on it; these thoughts only brushed through his mind fleetingly.
“Then it’s settled, no need for too many thanks, as words don’t carry much weight.
I, Lu Youcai, remember this great favor of yours; if you ever need anything in the future, just tell me.
I agree to your two conditions,” Lu Youcai stated.
“Hmm, alright, let’s leave it at that for now.
The treatment will be done in three sessions, let’s start with the first one today.
Find a quiet place, and I will treat you for the first time,” Tangyu said.
“Now?” Lu Youcai asked in surprise.
“Yes, why, do you want to wait?” Tangyu inquired.
Lu Youcai shook his head, “No, then I will book a private room here.” Saying so, Lu Youcai quickly headed towards the service desk.
With a curl of his lip and a light chuckle, Tangyu thought that congenital kidney deficiency was not really as complex as one may think.
Although modern medicine found it hard to cure, for someone like Tangyu, it was a minor issue.
Simply using the Immortal Finger Healing Technique to channel it through and nourishing it with Pure Yang Qi would lead to a quick recovery.
In fact, Tangyu could completely cure him in one session, but he didn’t want to draw too much attention, so he decided on three sessions.
It was more troublesome, but it was better to be careful.
Helping Lu Youcai was partly for his company’s sake, but Tangyu also found Lu Youcai to be a decent person and thought perhaps they could be friends.
When you’re out in the world, the more friends you have, the more roads open up; that’s never a bad thing.
Tangyu always acted on conviction; if he felt he could help, he would do so unconditionally.
Soon after, Lu Youcai returned with a private room number and said to Tangyu, “The private room is booked; let’s head over.”
“Hmm.” Tangyu stood up and nodded.
The two quickly entered the private room and sent the waiter away.
“Sit here and open up your shirt,” Tangyu said.
Lu Youcai immediately did as he was instructed, quickly opening his shirt.
His skin was incredibly white, maintained like a woman’s.
However, his body was still quite robust; it was evident that he exercised regularly.
“There’s one more thing I want to clarify with you.
About the medical treatment I’m giving you, you must not mention it to anyone,” Tangyu said with a serious demeanor.
Lu Youcai nodded and promised, “Okay, I won’t say anything to anyone.”
After laying down this rule, Tangyu began to perform the Immortal Finger Technique, pointing at Lu Youcai’s abdomen.
Lu Youcai immediately felt a warm current flowing from Tangyu’s finger into his belly, which then surged towards his kidneys.
This feeling was miraculous, almost like the Inner Strength mentioned in martial arts novels.
This wonder made Lu Youcai secretly astonished, and he grew increasingly curious and admiring of Tangyu’s skills.
He also became more convinced that Tangyu could cure his illness.
The whole process took about five minutes.
Then Tangyu withdrew his finger and said, “That’s enough for today’s treatment.
Come find me in two days, and after three sessions, you’ll be fully recovered.”
“That quickly?” Lu Youcai was secretly astonished, but the changes and sensations he had felt in the last five minutes left him without any doubts.
He quickly dressed and thanked Tangyu, “Thanks, Tangyu.
I’ll see you again the day after tomorrow at noon.
I’ll remember everything you said.”
“Mmh, okay, I’ll head back first, see you,” Tangyu said.
“I’ll walk you out,” Lu Youcai offered, and he escorted Tangyu out of the Xiyaxi Western Restaurant.
Just as they left the restaurant, Tangyu bumped into a familiar figure—it was the fat man he had played a few rounds of pool with.
“Oh, Tangyu, what a coincidence seeing you here.
Are you eating?
Isn’t Wang Dazhuang with you?” The fat man had a good memory.
“Hehe, yeah, fatty, I was having a meal with a friend here.
Why aren’t you playing pool today?” Tangyu asked with a smile.
“Don’t even mention it.
I’ve been pretty unlucky recently, losing more than I win, so I dare not play anymore.
If I go a few more times, I won’t be able to pay my rent.
By the way, Tangyu, do you have a moment to chat?” The fat man said, tearing up a bit as his cheeks jiggled with his smile, giving him a somewhat honest and cute appearance.
In fact, studies have shown that fat people tend to have better luck with women.
Perhaps it’s related to a fat man’s honest and cute demeanor.
People like the fat man give off a nice feeling and have strong interpersonal skills.
Although they may have little schemes, it’s not to the point where they become unlikeable.
“If you have something to discuss, go ahead, I need to get back to the company,” Lu Youcai said, then left.
The fat man pointed to the Xiyaxi Western Restaurant and said, “Let’s go inside and sit since we’re right at the entrance.
But just to be clear, we’re just sitting; I won’t be inviting you since you just came from a meal.
I can’t afford to buy coffee either, buddy.
I’m really broke right now and have to tighten my belt even for meals.
The coffee here is so expensive—a single cup costs enough to feed me for several days.
You don’t mind, do you?”
“It’s fine, I’m not into coffee anyway.
Just sitting is good enough,” Tangyu replied with a smile, charmed by the fat man’s honesty.
“Hehe, that’s great.
Brother, you’re indeed an honest man.
Let’s go,” the fat man led the way, and soon they found a seat by the window.
Through the window, they could enjoy the view outside—it felt pretty nice.
This small Western restaurant had high prices.
Even the most basic plain coffee cost 108 per small cup; the expensive ones ran into the hundreds.
This place was mostly frequented by white-collar workers and such.
“What would you like to order?” a pretty waitress asked with a sweet smile.
“Hehe, we’re just going to sit for a while and order later.
You go about your business; no need to mind us,” the fat man said with an embarrassed smile.
“Sorry, sir, but you must order something to take a seat here.
If you’re not ordering now, I’m afraid we’ll have to take the seats back.
Please understand,” the pretty waitress responded with a smile.
The fat man’s smile faded as his face turned red, and he looked at Tangyu with embarrassment.
This was his first time here; he thought they could just sit without ordering but apparently, even sitting was not allowed.
The fat man wanted to just order two drinks and be done with it, but a look at the prices revealed that the cheapest was no less than a hundred.
How could he order?
A simple order would cost him two or three hundred, yet his wallet combined didn’t even hold a hundred yuan.
“I’ll order,” Tangyu said to the waitress, seeing the fat man’s embarrassment.
The fat man was momentarily stunned and then looked at Tangyu with gratitude, his face growing even more embarrassed.
