Chapter 43 The Clinic Is Smashed
“Deng Hongli? Why are you here?” Li Yong asked in a surprised tone.
“Ahem? Why am I here? You tell me. Of course I am working here. How is it? I am so lucky, right? Working for a big company with great benefits!”
“By the way, I heard that you were fired by the Zhonghai First Hospital. Hmm, what a surprise! Just like I didn’t expect that you could work in there.” Deng Hongli snaps with heavy sarcasm as if she takes delight in sneering at others. Upon meeting schoolmates or friends, she just talks about her own good stuff and then mentions others’ pains.
Neither did Li Yong expect he would be admitted by the Zhonghai First Hospital as an intern after college.
He had neither relationship with the hospital nor money to buy gifts for his supervisors. His academic performance was not good either. He was quite plain back in college without any outstanding performance. Many students who were more excellent than him didn’t have the same chance while he was enrolled by the Zhonghai First Hospital without even signing up for it.
For Li Yong, it was like a heaven-sent fortune. He was always unknown to the public but when he was about to graduate, he became a heated topic among college schoolmates. People kept discussing about him, especially upon his family background.
Only Li Yong knows that he is an orphan without parents’ care since he was a child. It is a cripple who raises him. He is nice to Li Yong and always satisfies almost all that Li Yong asks, especially in terms of money.
However, Li Yong hates the cripple, for he says Li Yong is a picked-up child.
The word “picked-up” used to break Li Yong’s heart.
The cripple doesn’t work but he doesn’t need to worry about food or clothing. Li Yong has no idea how he makes the money.
Li Yong asked him before but he never replied. When Li Yong pushed him hard, he said he earned the money while he was young.
Sometimes, Li Yong wants to know what his parents look like, but deep inside his heart, he has a little grudge against them and doesn’t feel like seeing them.
Looking at Li Yong falling into deep thought, Deng Hongli says in a louder voice, “Why were you fired by the Zhonghai First Hospital? They rarely fire doctors, unless the doctors make huge mistakes. Generally, working there is a secure job.”
“I was not fired. I resigned.” Li Yong is unpleased to say.
“Resigned? Cut it out. I bet your family must have given away a large sum of money to get you in there. The Zhonghai First Hospital is the best hospital in Zhonghai City, the top-notch one nationwide. It provides excellent pay and conditions. Why would you resign?” Deng Hongli just fails to understand why he would resign so she doesn’t believe what he says.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Yong sneers and speaks no more, feeling he cannot communicate with Deng Hongli.
Deng Hongli is nothing more than a stupid swine.
Yet, Deng Hongli changes the topic and says again, “Are you coming here to apply for a job? I’ve worked here for half a year. I may pull some strings for you. The seniors here are close to me and I will become a senior soon too.”
“No need. I come here to talk with Han Fei about some business.” Li Yong says coldly. He cannot understand what she is proud of and bragging about since she is merely working for such a company.
“Then you’ll need to make an appointment first. I can arrange one for you. If you make it now, you will probably get to meet her the day after tomorrow.” Given that Li Yong is her schoolmate, Deng Hongli decides to do him a favor.
Li Yong snorts, “Do I even have to make an appointment to meet my sister-in-law?”
“Sister-in-law? You mean Ms. Han is your sister-in-law?” Deng Hongli is shocked.
“You can go ask her.” Li Yong sneers. He doesn’t speak of who he truly is. If he tells her that he is the real boss of this company, he wonders what Deng Hongli will look like.
Deng Hongli rolls her eyes and says with a smile, “Okay, I will ask Ms. Han later. If you are making it up, just be careful that she will blacklist you. Then you will not only be unable to meet her but also lose the chance for cooperation forever.”
“Bah.” Li Yong doesn’t want to talk with her anymore. When he is about to walk away, he notices that the door of the meeting room is opened and that Han Fei walks out first. She is wearing a blue work suit, who looks quite tough, smart and eye-catching.
She recognizes Li Yong at the first glance and walks towards him happily, asking with a smile, “Li Yong, what’s the occasion?”
Han Fei feels surprised to see Li Yong is here, since she asked him to come and he rejected her request before.
Seeing Han Fei call Li Yong’s name, Deng Hongli is awed with her mouth wide open. Moreover, instead of her common cold face, Han Fei gives a big smile at Li Yong, making Deng Hongli even more surprised. What is going on? What happened? They both graduated from college for half a year. What did he do to achieve this?
Deng Hongli has worked here for half a year and Han Fei doesn’t even know her family name, not to mention talking with her. Though it is the first time that Li Yong has come here, they two are so familiar with each other.
Then, hearing what Li Yong says, Deng Hongli becomes speechless out of astonishment as if she is hit by lightning.
“I come here to tell you something. You’d better double the company profits within one month.” Li Yong talks plainly. Every word he just said doesn’t sound loud but hits Deng Hongli harshly like a lightning.
She has never met someone who could be as calm as Li Yong when faced with Han Fei’s smiling face.
“What do you mean? Are you afraid that you are not making enough money?” Han Fei smiles bitterly.
“Are you incapable of it?” Li Yong answers her with a question.
“Not that I am not capable, but why do you want to make so much money? Having enough money to live on is good enough. Content is happiness!” Han Fei looks like she has seen through the emptiness of the material world.
The more Deng Hongli hears, the more excited and shocked she gets.
She wants to hear more but Li Yong and Han Fei have walked into the president’s office and closed the door. Deng Hongli sees clearly that Han Fei puts the sign that says “No Disturbing” on the window.
For the employees, if they see the sign, they will know no one can come to disturb her for any emergencies.
Deng Hongli has seen the sign hung there for only once. That time when the chairman of the board Han Dongtao came over, Han Fei also put on the sign. Now Han Fei should put it on for Li Yong.
Li Yong comes here not to work but to give a prescription to Han Fei. It is the one he meant to provide her last night but she didn’t take it. He asks Han Fei to produce the medicine based on the prescription in half a month and to make it on sales in the market within one month so as to double the company profits. He can show his capabilities to Han Lu then.
Han Fei has been busy for some days. She was going to take a rest, but she has to take the job anyway, because Li Yong is willing to give her 10% more profits as incentive.
As to this prescription, they split the profits 40-60, which makes Han Fei unable to reject.
After taking care of the matter, Li Yong just leaves. When he is walking out of the company, he hears Deng Hongli call him, “Li Yong, please wait a minute.”
Li Yong smiles and turns around. Faced with Deng Hongli, who appears much more polite, Li Yong asks, “My schoolmate, what’s wrong?”
“Li Yong, emm, I wonder if you have time. I want to treat you to dinner.” Deng Hongli ogles him and grins.
“No time.” Li Yong rejects her directly. He is not afraid to make her embarrassed, because he is aware that for such a snob like Deng Hongli, she doesn’t know what embarrassment is.
As expected, Deng Hongli chuckles, “If you have no time today, we can have a rain check. Since it’s my treat, I will pay. Rest assured. I will not take advantage of you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Rain check is also off the table.” Li Yong says indifferently. He has nothing to say with this cheater.
“Then can you help me... I’ve worked here for half a year. Those who joined this company with me at the same time have got a pay increase while I haven’t. I work really hard too...” Deng Hongli starts to talk nonstop.
At the time, someone calls Li Yong. What a good timing! Li Yong is thinking about how to get rid of Deng Hongli. She should ask him to help her get a pay rise. He doesn’t want to hear it anymore.
He takes out his phone instantly. It’s from Zhang Yurong. He puts her through away.
He reckons the call is about medical consultancy, so he walks towards the roadside while listening. Meanwhile, he reaches out his hand to stop a taxi. He just ignores Deng Hongli who keeps following him. Deng Hongli, who just looked down upon Li Yong, now should beg for his favor shamelessly.
Her request is a small thing for Li Yong, but he doesn’t want to interfere with the company operations. He believes that Han Fei has her own way of management. If he tries to pull some strings for others, he will be despised by Han Fei.
“Xiaoyong, something is wrong. Mr. Wu brought a group of people here to smash our Happy Clinic...” Zhang Yurong says in a flurried voice, rendering Li Yong quite nervous and worried.
“What?” Li Yong flies into a rage. What the hell!
“They came here to ask for you but since they couldn’t find you, they smashed the clinic instead. You just hide away. Don’t let them find you. They said you didn’t keep your words and lied to them. They swear to beat you up and kick you out of Zhonghai City...” Zhang Yurong says in a worried and frightened voice. She is all at sea.
If Li Yong is kicked away for real, what about her?
Li Yong turns furious and gets into the taxi right away, asking the driver to head towards the Happy Clinic in the industrial area.
In 20 minutes, when he arrives at the Happy Clinic, he sees the glass door is smashed, and that the cabinets as well as all the decorations are ruined. The medicine bags are scattered all over the ground. Zhang Yurong is cleaning with tears on her face.
“Yurong, where are the bastards?” Li Yong is pissed off greatly.
“Why are you back? Just leave. Don’t let them see you.” Seeing Li Yong, Zhang Yurong is happy in her heart but appears worried on her face. She wants to push Li Yong out, but she hurries to drag him upstairs and takes him to hide away.
“Yurong, don’t worry. I don’t care who Mr. Wu is. Now that he has the guts to smash my place, I will not let him off.” Li Yong wipes Zhang Yurong’s tears softly and says seriously.
“The Wu Family has powerful backing. Just forget about it.” Zhang Yurong comforts him, “We can make money after all. No need to care about such money. It won’t take us much to redecorate the place.”
However, Li Yong cannot bear it. He takes out his phone to call Wu Dan.
He doesn’t believe that in the society with rule of law, he cannot subdue Wu Dan, the scourge that troubles others.
