Judging from Zhang Shi’s tone, he’s going to hang up on him again? Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. F*ck, he wants to hang up on him twice? No way!
He said in a deep voice, “Mr. Zhang, if you say it like that, then I have nothing else to say. First of all, please don’t compare me to those ignorant fellows from before. Compared to those trash doctors, I’m really much better! Second, I will still say the same thing. I can treat your daughter’s illness. I can make her alive and well again! You won’t be able to find a second person in the entire country or the entire world who can treat her illness.”
“Third, since you’ve already adopted the attitude of trying everything you can even if you know it’s impossible, you should know what price you’re facing. You’ve long known the price you have to pay, so why don’t you dare to continue trying after trying halfway through? You can either wait for her death from the very beginning, or you can break through the wall and never look back. Since you’re afraid, it’s better to wait for her death. It’s such a pity…you said that you didn’t want to give up but in the end… Heh, you’re still a coward.”
“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. To me, it’s just a business deal. It doesn’t matter whether it succeeds or not. Mr. Zhang, she is your daughter, right? It’s a pity that you gave up in the end… Goodbye, Mr. Zhang!”
After saying those words, Chen Yi immediately hung up the phone. The words that he had said earlier had probably caused Zhang Shi to choke on his words. This round of posturing was indeed impressive! Chen Yi was also feeling great.
After feeling great, he still couldn’t help but curse, “F*ck! I have been writing drafts day and night just for 50 million dollars! What if Zhang Shi is rendered speechless by me? Don’t tell me I have to call him back? That would be such a slap in the face!”
After his impulsiveness, Chen Yi quickly regretted it. Shouldn’t he have restrained himself?
If it were Chen Yi, he wouldn’t have been able to call him back after being scolded like this.
Thinking about it this way, he was a little worried. He didn’t want everything to go down the drain.
Just as he was hesitating, his phone rang. Chen Yi looked at the caller ID. It was Zhang Shi. His eyebrows immediately relaxed, and his heart leaped with joy.
Zhang Shi was still not too bad. Chen Yi thought about picking up the call.
In the next second, he paused for a moment and tossed his phone aside.
Chen Yi pursed his lips, “I can’t pick up the call right now. It would seem as if I have been waiting for his call and couldn’t wait to pick it up! I have a temper too!”
He was patient. The most important thing was that he sounded so indignant earlier. If he were to answer the call so quickly, wouldn’t that be a slap to his face?
The call quickly hung up because no one picked up. In the following hour, Zhang Shi made no less than eight calls.
When the ninth call came in, Chen Yi picked up the phone and said in a heavy tone, “Hello, is there something wrong, Mr. Zhang?”
Zhang Shi was already feeling a little guilty. However, upon hearing that the tone of the other party was still as low as before, he became even more cautious.
His attitude and tone were extremely sincere and humble as he hurriedly apologized, “Sir, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. It’s just that I’ve been in a bad mood recently, and I didn’t mean to offend you. What I said just now was just out of anger… I hope that you can just treat it as rubbish and not take it to heart.”
“I’m really sorry for being so clumsy with my words. I thought about what you said just now, and it indeed makes sense. I was too impulsive and because of my experiences with those doctors from before, my tone wasn’t good.”
His voice was filled with fear and trepidation, and there was even a hint of Zhang Shi trying to curry favor with him.
Chen Yi could tell what Zhang Shi meant, so he naturally didn’t intend to be too calculative. “Yes, I understand. After all, Mr. Zhang has offered such a high reward, and there were many random people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. As such, there are quite a number of people who have come to harass you. I can understand if you’re in a bad mood.”
Zhang Shi hurriedly agreed, “That’s indeed the case. Thank you for your understanding. By the way, may I know your name?”
“My name is Chen Yi. It’s a righteous name,” Chen Yi said.
Zhang Shi took the opportunity to compliment him, “Good name, Doctor Chen! By the way… Doctor Chen, are you free right now? My daughter’s condition has been getting worse recently. Previously, she was still able to move around, but now, she can only lie on the bed. Her mother and I are anxious when we see her like that. Since she is unable to leave the house, do you think… you could come over personally? Don’t worry, I will reimburse all of your expenses. It will depend on how convenient it is for you, Mr. Chen. Otherwise, should I send someone to pick you up? Wouldn’t that show my sincerity?”
“There’s no need for that,” Chen Yi chuckled. Zhang Shi’s attitude had changed too much. It was truly… exhilarating!
“Mr. Zhang, I’m currently in Yu City. Give me the address, and I’ll take a cab there. There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”
Chen Yi did want to enjoy the feeling of being treated well. However, after taking a look at his rented apartment, he decided to forget about it. He would lose his pride.
“Ah? So you’re in Yu City! That’s great!” Zhang Shi hurriedly said, “I’ll give you the address immediately, and I’ll wait for you personally at the entrance of the residential area!”
“Okay, I’ll hang up now. Just send it to me.”
“Alright, wait a moment, I’ll send it to you…”
Without any hesitation, Chen Yi hung up the phone.
His mood suddenly soared, and he hurriedly went to the toilet to wash up. After which, he took a look at his appearance. After putting on a set of clothes and shoes that he thought looked pretty good, he took his keys and phone and left.
To be honest, this was one of the few times that Chen Yi went out.
The air outside was not bad. Today, the atmosphere in Yu City was very good.
It was different from before when he went out to buy things. Today, when Chen Yi sees a person, especially their face, he could roughly guess what was wrong with that person. This was the “Looking” in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After all, some illnesses could be deduced from a person’s face. That was why there were the four old diagnostic methods, “Looking, Listening, Asking, and Feeling the pulse”.
For example, that person’s liver was full of fire. That other person’s yin and yang were out of harmony, and his body was weak and short of breath. And for instance, the woman in front of him was three months pregnant, and the fetus was a girl. The lady next to her was having her menstruation, and her endocrine system was out of whack, so she had abdominal pain…
He guessed that this should be the exchange benefit that came with the Chinese medical skills.
He had to admit that just by looking at a person, he could tell that it was truly incredible!
However, even though he could tell what was the problem just by looking at it, if he wanted to treat the problem, he would need to verify it further. After all, the causes of illnesses were different, and the methods to treat them would be different as well.
…
It was only an hour’s journey from his home to the address given by Zhang Shi.
A short while later, Chen Yi arrived at his destination. In the taxi, he saw a figure standing in front of the entrance of the villa.
It was a short and slightly plump man with a protruding belly. Even though his face was plump, he looked a little haggard and anxious. From time to time, he would look left and right. It was Zhang Shi himself!
As Zhang Shi had appeared on the news before, and his appearance was rather unique, Chen Yi remembered him. He got out of the taxi and stood near the villa.
However, Zhang Shi was still looking around, not noticing him at all. Sighing helplessly, Chen Yi walked over to Zhang Shi’s side.
“Hello, you must be Zhang Shi, right? Mr. Zhang, sorry to bother you.”
When he heard someone greeting him, Zhang Shi turned to Chen Yi.. After examining him for a moment, Zhang Shi asked doubtfully, “Hello, may I know who are you?”
