Chapter 66: Preparations for the Clinic
Sitting alone in front of the examination table at Shen Nong Clinic, Wu Rui was filled with emotion. Half a month ago, he was still on the streets, and now he had set up a clinic in a luxurious villa. It's hard not to say that fate is really playing tricks on people. Moreover, heaven has also given him a face-to-face diagnosis room, something that even cultivators dare not imagine.
Just as Wu Rui was feeling sentimental, a clattering sound suddenly came from outside. He looked up to see a familiar figure and smiled as he went out to greet him: "Old Man Chen, what brings you here?"
"Wu Rui brothers, you're really here! I was worried that I had found the wrong place!" Old Man Chen looked at Wu Rui with some surprise. In just over ten days, Wu Rui had actually set up a clinic in such a luxurious villa, which was indeed shocking to him.
"Haha, you've found the right place! Come on in, Old Chen!" Wu Rui said with a smile.
"Wu Rui, thank you, brother. Last night that silly girl of mine didn't know what she was doing and didn't even call me back. I'm really sorry about that!" Old Man Chen didn't sit down, but instead kept apologizing to Wu Rui.
"This has nothing to do with Xuan Bing, I'm the one who told her to do it." Wu Rui hastily waved his hand.
"Thank you, Wu Rui! My wife's leg has finally recovered and she can already walk on the ground this morning!" Old Man Chen said with a smile, his face radiant with joy. The expression he showed when looking at Wu Rui was one of genuine gratitude. If it weren't for Wu Rui, the Chen family would have been at a loss for what to do for generations to come.
"Hey, what's with the politeness!" Wu Rui said nonchalantly with a wave of his hand, seeing Old Man Chen so happy made him feel delighted too.
"Wu Rui brothers, you've helped our family so much, and we don't have anything to repay you with, it's really embarrassing... Your clinic just opened, if you're short-handed, I can call Yibing over, she's a nursing professional, although she can't help with the big things, but she can lend a hand." Old Man Chen felt guilty but had no way to repay him, so he could only ask his daughter to come and help Wu Rui out.
"Oh? Ice Spin is a nurse professional?" Wu Rui was surprised.
"Hehe, I'm an old man with no special skills, but my daughter is a credit to me, she worked hard and studied diligently to finish university." Chen's eyes sparkled as he talked about his daughter.
"I'm actually recruiting a few nurses right now, and since her major is related to Yixuan's, it's no problem if she comes to work here..."
"Wu Rui, aren't you slapping yourself in the face? I was asking Bing Xuan to come and help out, not to receive a salary. It's also good for her to gain some experience, and she can learn from you too!" Old Man Chen hastily interrupted Wu Rui's words.
"Old Chen, that's not right! When you hire someone to work, they naturally need a salary! Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Bingxuan. She's such a big girl, how can she get by without a salary?" Wu Rui scolded Old Chen upon hearing this.
"This..." Old Man Chen's face changed slightly at the words, because he was incompetent and had already implicated his daughter from the start. Now that he owed a favor, if he let her repay it again, as a father, he really shouldn't.
"Old Chen, don't try to get out of this. Even if you don't invite Yibing Xuan, I'll still invite other nurses. Don't make excuses!" Wu Rui took advantage of the situation and quickly pulled out his oversized phone to call Xu Niang, briefly telling her about Yibing Xuan so she wouldn't have to invite another nurse.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen felt a bit embarrassed, rubbing his hands and saying: "Brother Wu Rui, I'm not helping you at all, but now I've even let you help me with such a big favor...this is really embarrassing."
"Hey, what's with the politeness? In E City, I don't have many friends, you're one of them. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just let me know!" Wu Rui didn't mind, as he said, he didn't know many people in E City, and those who could be considered friends were even fewer. Helping out with small things was no big deal.
"......thank you." Old Man Chen's eyes turned red, almost moved to tears.
At noon, Xu Manli, who was exhausted, finally drove back to the clinic. In addition to bringing back a bunch of licenses and Wu Rui's medical qualification certificate, she also brought back several staff members, two beautiful female nurses, and an aunt who served as both a chef and a nanny.
Bai Qing, originally a head nurse at the Central Hospital, in her thirties, is a mother who already has children. Due to her outstanding abilities, she was poached by Miss Xu.
Lin Chunzhu, a 22-year-old nurse from the Central Hospital, is a stunning beauty with a warm attitude. She was also poached by Xu Niang with a high salary and is now being scolded by the doctors at the Central Hospital. However, despite their scolding, they don't have the guts to do so since Lin's monthly salary is 10,000 yuan.
Mei Yi is a woman in her forties with exceptional culinary skills, originally one of the nannies at the Xu household, also poached by Miss Xu through persistent persuasion.
"Good doctor Wu!" The three stood in a row, bowing neatly to Wu Rui, but in their hearts they were somewhat skeptical: this "divine doctor" was too young, wasn't he? Wasn't he a swindler? If it weren't for the high welfare benefits offered by Miss Xu, they wouldn't have come to work in such a place.
"Uh...hello everyone." Wu Rui responded with a silly smile, he was fine when it came to treating illnesses, but when it came to management, he was a complete novice.
Seeing Wu Rui not looking like a boss, Xu Niang glared at him and could only step out to lecture: "Alright, listen to me for a moment! Bai Qing you will be in charge of nursing and cashiering, Chun Zhu is a nurse, Mei Yi is responsible for laundry, cooking, sanitation and food procurement. Also, Bai Qing has a home in the city and won't be living at the clinic, Mei Yi and Chun Zhu have chosen to live at the clinic, there are two rooms on the first floor, you can each choose one, any other questions can be asked now."
The three of them looked at each other in dismay, and for a moment, no one knew what to say.
"Alright, you all get familiar with the clinic's environment, this afternoon we'll go get our uniforms tailored, and tomorrow we'll officially start work." Xu Niang waved her hand grandly, dispersing them with a sense of momentum.
"If you're tired, have a cup of tea!" Wu Rui smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xu Niang.
"Drinking tea can only quench thirst, but not fatigue..." Xu Niang muttered to herself, yet she still picked up a cup and took a sip. Who would have known that after the tea water went down her stomach, it emitted a refreshing fragrance that intoxicated her senses, and at the same time, her physical exhaustion was swept away, leaving Xu Niang staring blankly with her eyes wide open for a long time.
"Hehe." Wu Rui smiled kindly and took a light sip, his face showing intoxication. This tea was from the batch he picked on Osen Star, which he had roasted in Dan Ding a few days ago. He hadn't had any suitable teaware until now, but when he saw that the clinic had a decent set, he couldn't resist brewing a pot and was very satisfied with the result.
"What... what kind of tea is this? It smells so good!" Xu Niang asked in surprise, her voice trembling.
"Hehe, this is what I picked and fried from the mountain." Wu Rui casually told a lie, after all, he couldn't say it was picked from another planet.
"Hmm... refreshing, I want more!" Xu Niang couldn't help but pour herself a cup, this time not gulping it down, but savoring it slowly. After a long while, she couldn't help but exclaim: "This is simply heavenly! If we could serve this dish on the second floor, the effect would definitely be even better."
"I only buy medicine, I don't sell tea!" Wu Rui refused without even thinking about it. Although he had a lot of these leaves, using them to make tea for many people would be too wasteful.
"Then... would you mind seeing me off?" Xu asked in a weak voice.
"I'll give you a pack another day!" Wu Rui wasn't stingy after all.
"Haha, thanks for now!" Xujie patted Wu Rui's shoulder casually, then suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead: "Almost forgot, that 100 million check hasn't been cashed yet. There's a bank nearby, let's go split the money!"
"Oh? Let's go then!" Wu Rui said, handing over the money to Aunt Mei. They walked to a nearby bank and opened an account, depositing the 60 million yuan they had exchanged. He couldn't help but let out a laugh of excitement - now he was also a multimillionaire!
In the afternoon, Xu's customized signboard was delivered, which was a wooden carving. The words "Shennong Clinic" were quite magnificent and attracted the attention of passersby, but they all had strange expressions. How could that doctor with such a big handwriting use such a luxurious villa to open a clinic?
At the same time, Chen Bingxuan also came to report and stayed in the clinic. She lived with Lin Chunzhu in a room, which was very spacious and wouldn't be crowded at all, after all, it was a villa of several hundred square meters.
Everything is ready, and neither Wu Rui nor Xu Niang have the knowledge of choosing a good day to open in their minds. They unanimously agree that it's better to open tomorrow without choosing a specific date.
