Chapter 68 Opening for Business

  Drew's impartation of magical knowledge had a great epiphany on Wu Rui. The cultivation world has always relied on the dantian to store true yuan or other energies, never thinking of utilizing and developing the brain. According to Drew, when magic is cultivated to its extreme, it can even form crystal divine marks in the brain. Wu Rui's heart moved, he knew what that represented - a powerful soul. What is a soul? A small life!

  "...Not a bad cultivation system, can be combined with the Divine Farmer's Classic for cultivation." Wu Rui opened his eyes wide, two beams of light shot out from his pupils, and his face showed joy.

  Afterwards, Wu Rui left the training room and when he returned to the main hall, he found a pile of things had been added. He calculated with his fingers and realized that six or seven hours had passed during his training. De Lu, who had returned to the Holy Dragon Continent, also sent back the things he wanted to move.

  "Fire Spirit Mushroom! Blood Essence Grass! Fierce Sun Grass! Cinnabar Fruit! Scarlet Light Ginseng......" Wu Rui let out a series of exclamations, unexpectedly they were all spiritual herbs, although the grade was relatively low, but they made up for it with their rarity!

  "Huh? What's this bag?" Wu Rui picked up the cloth bag from the ground, opened it and found some purple crystal coins inside. They should be the Purple Crystal Coins that Drew mentioned. What surprised Wu Rui was that these purple crystals actually contained magical elements, which were a type of spiritual energy.

  "Equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone in quality, not bad. It seems that I need to treat more nobles from the Holy Dragon Continent in the future." Wu Rui smiled with his eyes narrowed, putting away the spiritual herbs and fruits into the mystical medicine cabinet before exiting the clinic's treatment room and returning to the real world's bedroom.

  Looking out of the window, the sky was already bright and hazy, so I got up, washed, went downstairs and opened the clinic door.

  "Wu Dafu, you got up really early." Mei Ayi had just gotten out of bed and was thinking about making breakfast for everyone when she saw the boss getting up so early and was a bit surprised.

  "Mei aunt, you're early too." Wu Rui smiled in response.

  Seeing her boss so amiable, Mei Ayi was also delighted and smiled before saying: "Doctor Wu, I'll go buy the vegetables first, you're busy!"

  Because it was the first day of opening, Chen Bingxuan and Lin Chunzhu, two little nurses, got up immediately after, and Nurse Bai Qing, who was also in charge of receiving cash, came to work on an electric bicycle. Xu Niang got up the latest, and only came down from upstairs when the sun rose, yawning and complaining to Wu Rui: "Wu Rui, why did you guys get up so early? The sky is just brightening! Nine o'clock is the start of work, now it's not even eight o'clock, oh my!"

  Wu Rui glanced at the young lady and didn't say anything, just beckoning her to come over and have breakfast together.

  "On the first day of opening, apart from the patients I brought in, there won't be any other customers coming in. It's useless for you to get up early." Xu Niang said with her mouth full, still very casual and without any reserve or politeness.

  "It's still the first day of business, being careful can't be wrong." Wu Rui said helplessly, actually agreeing with Xu Niang's words. After all, he didn't have much reputation here, and the clinic was so luxurious that passersby didn't dare to enter, who knew if they would charge a fee just for taking a look?

  Bai Qing and two other nurses didn't say a word, each in their own little world, not knowing what to talk about since they had just met and weren't familiar with each other yet.

  However, to everyone's surprise, just as they had put down their bowls and chopsticks, several motorcycles stopped in front of the clinic one after another. Several people who were quite familiar to Wu Rui arrived, including some stall owners from the central market and two patients he had seen before.

  "Congratulations, Dr. Wu! I heard you opened a clinic, so everyone came to take a look. Unexpectedly... it's so luxurious and high-end." Old Liu, the salted fish seller, said with some embarrassment, not even daring to step into the clinic.

  "Haha, Uncle Liu, don't be polite, it's great that you're here, what gift do you need to bring!" Wu Rui smiled and came out to greet them, still quite happy to see these old friends.

  "Cough, cough... actually it's nothing much, just a flower basket that everyone chipped in to buy, and also a red firecracker from the Da Di store. Every time a new shop opens in E City, they give these out as gifts. I don't know if we can use them or not?" asked Liu Dage with a weak voice.

  "Fireworks? Let's make it lively! Down there is the Goose River, not a forbidden area for fireworks." Before Wu Rui could speak, Xu Niang walked out with great interest and interrupted.

  Wu Rui didn't want to waste their money, but since they had already bought it and it was their heart's desire, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He helped move the firecrackers to the riverbank and hung them from a tall tree branch, lit them up, and immediately loud explosions rang out, who knows how many PM2.5 particles were produced in the air of E City, also attracting nearby citizens who were out for a morning run to turn their heads in surprise.

  It's not for nothing that the custom of setting off firecrackers when opening a business came into being. It's not just a way to celebrate, but also a way to attract attention.

  Seeing Wu Rui still being so gentle, Liu Dage and others seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Wu Rui is now the master of a big family and business, they were really worried that Wu Rui would look down on them. Hesitating for a moment, Liu Dage turned back to Wu Rui and said: "Doctor Wu, today I came not only to congratulate you on the opening of your clinic, but also my old friend here has lumbar spondylosis, please treat him."

  When Liu Dàyé said this, Wu Ruì cast his eyes on the old man who was hunchbacked and hastily invited him to sit down. He began to diagnose the old man's condition and finally nodded: "This elderly gentleman has had a hump for many years, and his bones have already taken shape. It is unlikely that he will be completely cured, but the joints that are currently acting up can be treated. Although it cannot change the hunchback, it can eliminate the pain."

  "That's enough! I'm already very satisfied that it can alleviate the pain." Although he had heard that Wu Rui's medical skills were exceptional, he still had some doubts before confirmation. Now that it was confirmed, the old man couldn't be happier. His hunched back was already a great suffering, and with the onset of bone spurs, it was even more excruciating.

  Wu Rui skillfully treated the old gentleman, also using acupuncture to cure the disease without surgery or medication, and the treatment process was not painful.

  Looking at the old man thanking Wu Rui repeatedly, the two nurses Bai Qing and Lin Chunzhu looked at each other in dismay. Could this be a fake boss? Only Chen Bingxuan didn't suspect anything, her face full of admiration.

  "How much does it cost, Doctor Wu?" The old man asked in a dry tone, with some anxiety in his voice. He was worried that the fee would be expensive in such a luxurious clinic. Although he had tens of thousands of savings in hand, at this age, the money in the bank was already reserved for his funeral expenses.

  "Old rules, ten bucks, no haggling, sir, please don't try to wear me down for two more bucks!" Wu Rui rarely cracked a joke, noticing the other person's tension.

  "Haha……" Mr. Liu and the others smiled kindly, exchanging a glance, seeming to have all let out a sigh of relief. Actually, this time they came, their main purpose was still to probe the price, recently their relatives and friends were looking for Wu Rui, but Wu Rui was not around, now hearing Old Man Chen say that Wu Rui had opened a clinic, and it was very luxurious, naturally worried that the price would fluctuate too much, so they let Old Man Liu bring his old friend to test the waters.

  Now hearing Wu Rui still being like that, several people instead felt a bit ashamed and didn't dare to stay longer. After the hunchbacked old man paid the bill, they bid farewell and left.

  Looking at the 10 yuan in her hand, Bai Qing, who was also in charge of finance, was a bit stunned. After thinking for a moment, she asked softly: "Doctor Wu, is collecting 10 yuan not a bit less?"

  Treating lumbar spondylosis, a single treatment in a large hospital costs at least several hundred yuan, and even small clinics charge over 100 yuan, with at least five or six treatments required. Whether it can be cured is another matter. Now Wu Rui only charges 10 yuan, and the treatment seems to be effective, but such a large clinic cannot operate normally like this!

  "It's not a small amount, no capital to start with, as long as we can have 100 patients every day, our clinic will be able to operate normally." Wu Rui still had no economic awareness at all, and was counting on his fingers.

  "Scoff, didn't you even graduate from elementary school math? Even if you have a hundred patients every day, it's only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per month, not even enough to pay the wages. Mei Yi, Bai Qing, Chun Zhu and Bing Xuan each have a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, how can your little money be enough?" Xu Niang directly despised.

  "Ah...... your salaries are so high!" Wu Rui exclaimed.

  "...the sky, this boss is really something, he doesn't even know how much the employees' salaries are, Bai Qing and others feel that their future prospects are bleak, at the same time, several crows fly in front of them, croaking loudly..."

  Just then, three Mercedes-Benz armored vehicles slowly stopped in front of the clinic. Li Qiang and his daughter Li Jiao got out of the car one after another. Several black-clad bodyguards stood on either side, guarding the surroundings. It's worth mentioning that Li Xiao Jian, who was treated by Wu Rui some time ago, was also brought here and is being held in Li Jiao's arms.

  Wu Rui's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "The person who is secretly sending me money has arrived."

  I am a divider line

  Kneeling on the ground and rolling around begging for collection, votes.
