ounger brother.Wan Hongguang shook hands with Zhang Dapeng and then shook hands with Lu Guozhang who had followed behind. He said, "I came here today in a personal capacity to attend my nephew's first...Chapter 430: Ashamed Anger at the Exchange Meeting
"Dr. Xiao, right I'm Li Rongcheng. It's really impolite of me to disturb you so early in the morning. My son is irresponsible and has caused you trouble," Li Rongcheng introduced himself after hearing from Song Huashan, preempting Dr. Xiao YU before he could speak.
Dr. Xiao was about to say something when Li Rongcheng interrupted him first. Upon hearing his words, Dr. Xiao's eyes lit up, thinking that this was indeed the kind of demeanor a prominent family should have. It was no wonder Li Rongcheng had managed to build such an extensive business empire from scratch; it took more than just talent.
However, in comparison, Dr. Xiao thought Li Rongcheng seemed rather petty. But after a brief moment's reflection, he realized that this was the skill of these old foxes in the business world.
If someone ordinary would have been thoroughly confused by such tactics, but Dr. Xiao wasn't an ordinary person and quickly understood what was happening.
It turned out that after Li Shirong's wife left from seeing Dr. Xiao today, she grew increasingly anxious the more she thought about it, fearing for her son's leg condition and its impact on his future standing in the Li family. After all, if Li Yonghe wasn't outstanding in other ways, being unable to walk would make him have no status at all within the family.
She returned home and tried persuading Li Shirong again, insisting that he should humble himself and let Dr. Xiao examine their son; there might still be a chance of curing his illness after all. But Li Shirong refused stubbornly, unwilling to lower himself and face such humiliation. With his proud character, how could he possibly bow down to someone like Dr. Xiao
Furthermore, deep down, he didn't believe that Dr. Xiao could actually cure his son's disease. So many renowned doctors here had no solution, so what chance did a young man like him have In Li Shirong’s mind, Dr. Xiao was just trying to trick him into paying money and humiliate him; there was no way he would let that happen.
Therefore, although the treatments administered by the doctors here were already well underway, Li Shirong believed that there might be hidden medical experts in folk medicine who could help his son. If conventional methods weren't working out, he wanted to try some unconventional remedies instead, but kept this plan secret and would only use it after verifying its efficacy.
Seeing her husband's refusal, Li Shirong’s wife grew increasingly uneasy until she secretly called her father-in-law. Upon receiving his daughter-in-law’s call and hearing the entire story, Li Rongcheng immediately phoned Song Huashan.
When he learned from Song Huashan that Dr. Xiao was an exceptionally skilled physician and that there was a high probability of curing his grandson's illness, he could no longer sit still.
Song Huashan was not the type to exaggerate; besides, Li Rongcheng had always maintained good relations with him through his father and uncle. Therefore, it would be impossible for Song Huashan to deceive him. Thus, he made a special flight overnight all the way to Beijing.
Arriving in Beijing, he first found Song Huashan who then informed him about the exorbitant consultation fee proposed by Dr. Xiao and how Li Shirong might have inadvertently offended Dr. Xiao without realizing it.
When Li Rongcheng asked Song Hushan about Xiao Yu's background, Song Hushan chuckled without answering. Even though he didn't speak, the look on his face told Li Rongcheng that Xiao Yu was not a simple person.
Song Hushan led Li Rongcheng to find Lee Sirok's family. When Li Rongcheng met with Lee Sirok, he first scolded him because of his immature behavior regarding the matter; if Lee Sirok didn't realize his mistake soon, he would suffer serious consequences.
After finishing reprimanding Lee Sirok, they all went to the hotel where Xiao Yu was staying.
Xiao Yu looked at Li Rongcheng and nodded silently. Li Rongcheng's character and demeanor were not comparable to those of Lee Sirok; people often called them the great and small gods of wealth in the Lee family, but it seemed that Lee Sirok could only rely on his family’s influence to run such a big business. If he had to start from scratch, he wouldn't be able to achieve what Li Rongcheng has accomplished.
"Hehe, Mr. Li is being too polite! My uncle and I are considered one family; there's no need for formalities within the family."
After Xiao Yu realized this, he chuckled lightly while pointing at Song Hushan.
"Haha..." Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Rongcheng looked deeply into Xiao Yu’s eyes before chuckling.
To his surprise, Xiao Yu was not someone to be deceived. He reasoned that since this was the case, he wouldn't beat around the bush any longer. He then said to Xiao Yu, "Doctor Xiao, I want to ask for your help in treating my grandson’s leg!"
Since Li Rongcheng knew that Xiao Yu had a background and that there was a chance of curing his grandson’s condition through him, he wouldn’t be evasive. Regardless of the reason, since Xiao Yu had set a price, it would be better to follow it. First, Xiao Yu might cure his grandson's illness; secondly, this could settle the misunderstanding between his son and Xiao Yu while also establishing a relationship with Xiao Yu, making it worthwhile.
If Xiao Yu knew Li Rongcheng’s thoughts, he would know that these old foxes in business circles were not easy to deal with after starting from scratch.
"Oh You want to treat your grandson's illness then I wonder if you've discussed the terms of treatment with your son"
“Hehe, I have a rough idea about it!” Lee Sirok chuckled lightly and answered.
“Alright, since you're here for medical treatment, let me explain again. There's a one million-dollar consultation fee; this amount will be charged regardless of whether I can cure your grandson’s illness or not. Furthermore, if I can treat the condition, we'll talk about the cost separately.”
After hearing Li Rongcheng's words, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and replied.
"You……"
When Li Sei Rong, who was behind Li Yong Cheng, heard Xiao Yu's words, his face turned dark. Just as he was about to speak, he was fiercely glared at by Li Yong Cheng. Seeing Li Yong Cheng glaring at him, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
Seeing that Li Sei Rong had stopped speaking, Li Yong Cheng turned around and looked at Xiao Yu without saying a word; he only nodded lightly.
"Bring the child over. Let me take a look…" Seeing that everyone seemed fine, Xiao Yu said to Li Yong Cheng.
Li Yong Cheng instructed the nanny, who then placed the child in front of Xiao Yu.
Since it was still early and the children were well-rested from their naps, Li Yong He was sleeping soundly in the nanny's arms. Xiao Yu reached out his hand to take Li Yong He's pulse.
Although Xiao Yu knew why he couldn't walk, he had to act the part convincingly. While taking Li Yong He’s pulse, he kept a close eye on both of Li Yong He's feet. In his black and white world, there was still no sign that the black mist line on his feet would break.
Xiao Yu released the child's wrist, with a slight smile on his face; he said to Li Yong Cheng, "Mr. Li, I have finished examining the child. Please pay one million yuan for my consultation fee."
"Uh…" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, not only did the Li family members look astonished, but even Song Huishan’s expression changed.
Wasn't this money too easily earned Was it really a million yuan in consultation fees within just one minute
"Doctor Xiao, can you cure my grandson's illness" After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Yong Cheng's face also changed. Even with his composure, he couldn’t help but change expression, but his expression quickly returned to normal as he asked Xiao Yu.
No matter how much he thought about it, Li Yong Cheng did not expect that Xiao Yu only needed to take Li Yong He’s pulse before considering the consultation complete. Now, he even had doubts if Xiao Yu could cure illnesses, but this thought was quickly suppressed by him.
After hearing Li Yong Cheng's question, Xiao Yu didn't speak and just looked at Li Yong Cheng and Li Sei Rong with a slight smile on his face.
When Li Rongcheng saw Xiao Yu's expression, he immediately understood the situation. Although he had some doubts in his heart now, he couldn't go back on his word once he had given his promise. So without turning around, he said, "I'll issue a check for one million!"
"Father..." Li Shirong felt extremely aggrieved and shouted out to Li Rongcheng, but just as he opened his mouth, Li Rongcheng stopped him. Since Li Rongcheng had given his word, there was no way he could renege.
With a face full of resentment, Li Shirong took out the checkbook and wrote out one million on a check, then threw it forward with great anger. The check fluttered lightly to the ground. To him now, Xiao Yu was an incompetent fraudster who had bewitched Song Hushan somehow.
When he saw Li Shirong throw the check over to Xiao Yu, Song Hushan's originally calm expression changed dramatically—Li Shirong was slapping his face!
Thinking of this, Song Hushan got up from the sofa. However, seeing Li Shirong’s behavior and not getting angry about it, Xiao Yu waved a hand at the standing-up Song Hushan to tell him to calm down.
Song Hushan knew that although Xiao Yu's diagnosis time with Li Yonghe was very short, his medical skills were there for everyone to see. Moreover, these people had been brought in by him; otherwise, it was uncertain whether or not they could have gotten inside at all!
Furthermore, this was what they’d agreed upon beforehand—a one million consultation fee, with no mention of the length of time that should be spent on the diagnosis. However, Li Shirong’s actions now made Song Hushan even more angry while also making him look down on Li Shirong a bit. In his heart, Song Hushan sighed to himself, he really couldn’t understand how such a person had managed to establish an empire and get the title of little god of wealth.
Moreover, who were they to treat Xiao Yu like this However, after seeing Xiao Yu give him a signal with his hand, Song Hushan was stunned for a moment before he sat back down again, watching how events developed calmly.
Li Rongcheng didn’t expect Li Shirong to be so lacking in composure either. He himself was getting older and wanted to transfer the running of the company to Li Shirong after this successful cooperation with the Song family, but seeing things now, it seemed that Li Shirong needed to be honed a bit more before he could take over. The large ship of the Li family would have to wait a few more years.
The check landed lightly between Xiao Yu and Li Rongcheng, and Xiao Yu didn’t move an inch as he looked at Li Rongcheng with a smile on his face.
Li Rongcheng also stared back at Xiao Yu. For the moment, the room was eerily silent as both men glared at each other.
"Wah wah..." Suddenly, Li Yonghe in the nanny's arms started to cry loudly for some unknown reason... (To Be Continued...)Xiao Yu approaching them, Zhang Dahan pointed at the fifty-plus-year-old major general and said to Xiao Yu."Hello, Comrade Commissar Qi!"
