Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic
Chapter 392 - 197: The Class Group Explodes, Dust Settles (Part 3)
"You go ahead and stay busy, I’ve added you as a friend, so now I can feel at ease!"
Zhang Chao noticed that Li Jingsheng wasn’t very enthusiastic.
He sensibly chose not to disturb any further.
He didn’t bring up asking for help with the specialization in gastroenterology again.
Maybe he just found a plausible excuse to add Li Jingsheng as a friend, who knows.
After all, the thinking of a top student like that is not something average people can match.
From how he directly offended Tang Zhenke in the group without hesitation, it was clear he was determined to add Li Jingsheng as a friend.
At this moment, messages in the class group were still quickly refreshing.
Some classmates who usually don’t speak much were also starting to actively participate.
Even though a few of the class mentors were pretending to be inactive, they were probably secretly paying attention.
Li Jingsheng chose to play dead at this time.
Because he understood human nature very well.
As soon as he spoke, he’d surely receive a slew of friend requests.
At his age, when there are significant benefits involved, it’s impossible to remain modest or pretentious.
He didn’t bother reading those classmates’ messages, many of them were just curious. They wanted to know why Li Jingsheng suddenly became so awesome?
Unfortunately, no one was going to satisfy their curiosity.
After Li Jingsheng finished eating, he started preparing for the relocation of the new site for the clinic.
President Yan messaged him to say the entire courtyard rental was done, so there were no obstacles to renting that little courtyard.
As for directly buying it, of course, he wanted to.
But the balance in his account was not very substantial, making him somewhat apprehensive.
If the price reached seven or eight million, he definitely couldn’t afford it.
Getting a mortgage for this old house from a bank could still be uncertain, and even if it passed the review, at most they’d depreciate it by half.
That is to say, for a price of eight million, at most the bank would loan four million to Li Jingsheng.
Banks never make a losing deal.
Especially when it comes to loans, they always maintain their expertise.
Even though there’s a slew of bad debts every year, it doesn’t affect their level of professionalism.
At around five in the evening, the elderly scavenger came by.
His face bore a faintly excited flush.
Judging by this expression, he likely had good news.
Li Jingsheng felt both hopeful and a bit afraid.
The old man had put in a lot of effort to help him, and if he couldn’t afford it, wouldn’t that be letting down the old man’s goodwill?
"Young man, things are basically settled. Tomorrow someone will be cleaning out the first floor. You just need to go to Yan Bingkuan to write up the lease contract. You can sign a lease for at least ten years at once, with the rent paid yearly in full. As for buying the entire courtyard, the management has no objection, but as to whether the higher-ups approve, the selling method, and the price, there’s no conclusion yet."
The elderly scavenger had secured a ten-year lease for him, which was great news.
With the current revenue of Sunshine Clinic, it didn’t even need ten years.
In three to five years, he should be able to afford buying a building for the clinic premises.
Of course, if he could buy the two buildings in that little courtyard, it would definitely be a sure profit.
It would also avoid the issues caused by relocating the clinic.
"Thank you, thanks so much!"
Hearing this, Li Jingsheng repeatedly thanked the old man.
The biggest immediate hardship was finally resolved.
At least for ten years, there was no need to worry about the premises.
Renting a unit’s property was much better than renting from a private landlord.
Private landlords rely on rent to get by, always trying to raise the rent aggressively.
They wish they could make a profit on utility bills too.
With a unit’s property, once a contract is signed, things proceed by the rules.
Also, the rent is generally much cheaper than private properties.
"Keep up the good work, I believe in you! I’m off!"
The elderly scavenger waved his hand, delivering this good news to Li Jingsheng, and left immediately.
Li Jingsheng didn’t think of giving the scavenger any gifts.
Because for this old man, giving gifts would be an insult.
The man wasn’t seeking any reward at all.
After seeing the old man off, Li Jingsheng noticed Tang Ping walking over with a smile on her face.
Xiaogao was grinning foolishly.
Han Siying appeared a bit reserved, but her face was also full of joy.
"Boss, will the clinic not need to close down now?"
"There was never any need to close!"
Li Jingsheng was just being stubborn.
If he hadn’t found a suitable place to rent, not closing would’ve been strange.
"I’m not afraid of anything, just scared the clinic would close. Even my daughter asked me, ’Mom, why aren’t you, Uncle Li, Uncle Gao, and Aunt Siying happy these days?’"
Tang Ping only said these things after seeing the problem had been resolved.
Niuniu normally didn’t talk much but was actually very smart.
She was also good at reading expressions.
"Tonight, when you go home, you can tell Niuniu the problem’s solved. Everyone can sleep peacefully now."
Li Jingsheng replied with a smile.
As they talked, a patient came in seeking consultation.
It was a familiar face.
Sister Ou, who had a chivalrous aura about her.
She led in two people.
One of them, a man in his fifties, was slightly hunched as he walked, with a painful expression on his face, needing support.
"Dr. Li, knowing your superb medical skills and excellent ethics, I especially came to introduce a patient. This is our neighborhood neighbor, his wife and I are colleagues. He started having severe abdominal pain since yesterday and it’s been hurting until today. Please have a look at him."
Sister Ou was indeed warm-hearted.
Her colleague’s husband fell ill, and she came along directly.
Luckily, the man’s wife was accompanying, otherwise, this could cause a misunderstanding.
"Here, lie down on the bed inside, and I’ll take a look at your abdomen. If the condition is severe, I might not be able to treat it here."
Li Jingsheng measured his capabilities.
If the patient’s condition was too severe, he definitely wouldn’t take the case irresponsibly.
If something went wrong, it would be trouble. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Is it sudden abdominal pain, or did it occur after eating something?"
This question was crucial.
He was sure to ask clearly.
"It was sudden abdominal pain, felt like someone punched my stomach. It hurt terribly."
The man said weakly.
