Chapter 766: The Junior Medicine King
“Oh my god, one million yuan per year! Why can’t I be the lucky girl…”
“Don’t be a dreamer. Do you have Miss Su’s medical skills?”
“What an idiot! He’s more attracted to her beauty than her medical skills…”
Sun Bowei became more complacent. There was no reason for Su Hui to turn him down. Such a small clinic would only bring her two or three hundred thousand yuan a year. How could she resist the temptation to earn one million yuan per year?
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to.” Su Hui directly shattered Sun Bowei’s idle daydreams with six words.
“Why not? Are you dissatisfied with the payment? If you think one million yuan per year isn’t enough, I can increase the salary.”
Su Hui said, “It’s not about the salary. My clinic runs well. There’s no need to work for others.”
Sun Bowei said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to leave here. I can make your clinic a branch of the Medicine King Clinic. I’m sure that the number of patients you get and your salary will increase by 10 times.”
Su Hui stopped prescribing and put down her pen. She looked at him and said, “I’ve told you that it’s not about the money. I run this clinic on my own, and I don’t need anyone’s help.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave. Don’t keep me from seeing the patients.”
“Huihui, listen to me…”
Su Hui was a gentle girl, but she was still irritated by his endless badgering. She said, “Sun Bowei, let me tell you again, I have nothing to do with you, and you are not allowed to call me Huihui…”
Qin Haodong patted Su Hui on the shoulder and said, “Huihui, don’t be angry with him. It’s not necessary.”
“What…” Sun Bowei was extremely angry after hearing Qin Haodong’s words. He was not allowed to call her Huihui while Qin came over and addressed her so intimately. It was an obvious humiliation.
“Hui… Su Hui, I know that you don’t like money, but in our Medicine King Clinic, you can learn medical skills directly from my grandfather, who is the best medicine practitioner in Huaxia. Your medical skills will definitely improve quickly through learning from him. Many people are eager to be his student…”
His grandfather, Sun Fengqing, was indeed one of the best doctors in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. He was also known as the Medicine King in the capital, and there were countless people who wanted to be his student.
So Sun Bowei played his trump card and thought that Su Hui, who loved traditional Chinese medicine, would be attracted by his offer.
Su Hui said, “Sun Bowei, let me tell you, if I want to learn traditional Chinese medicine, I have a good teacher around me. His medical skills are 10 times better than your grandfather’s.”
Sun Bowei said, “Su Hui, please don’t be angry. My grandfather is the Medicine King, the best Chinese medicine practitioner in Huaxia. No one can hold a candle to him in this field.”
Su Hui sneered, “The best Chinese medicine practitioner? I don’t think so. That’s just your proud boast.”
Sun Bowei retorted, “Do you think that someone’s medical skills are better than my grandfather’s?”
“Yes,” Qin Haodong said happily, “mine!”
Su Hui said, “That’s right. My boyfriend’s medical skills are much better than your grandfather’s. There’s no need for me to learn from someone else.”
Sun Bowei looked at Qin Haodong with disdain, “Su Hui, don’t be fooled. Working experience and qualifications are very important for our Chinese medicine practitioners. I have learned medical skills from my grandfather since I was a child, but I only got the rudiments when I was 18 years old.
“He’s so young, and I’m afraid he hasn’t even recited the Recipe in Verse. He’s not qualified to be compared to my grandfather. He’s not even as good as me!”
While saying this, he looked quite proud. He had been regarded as a prodigy since he was a child by those in TCM in the capital. All the members of the Medicine King Clinic had high hopes for him, and he was called Junior Medicine King in private.
However, in Su Hui’s opinion, Qin Haodong was unparalleled. He was the unique Medical Sage in the world. Even the Medicine King was no match for him.
Therefore, after Sun Bowei finished speaking, her face immediately darkened. “Sun Bowei, you are too arrogant. You are too far behind to catch up to him.”
“That’s impossible.” Of course, Sun Bowei would not be convinced by a young man in his 20s. In his opinion, Su Hui was being deceived by his appearance.
He said, “Huihui, you don’t know how excellent I am. When I was five, I learned traditional Chinese medicine from my grandfather. When I was eight, I could reel off the Recipe in Verse. When I was 10, I was able to accurately identify all the acupuncture points of the human body. When I was 18, I performed the primary level of traditional Chinese medicine so I could treat patients on my own. I got countless honors after I was 20 years old.
“I was once rewarded by Director Yang of the Sanitary Bureau. And what does he have? How can he be compared with me?”
“Awards? I have awards.”
As Qin Haodong said that, he took out the certificate and put it on the table in front of him. Sun Bowei looked down and saw that it was the Best Medical Contribution Award issued by the Ministry of Health of Huaxia.
“Uh…” He had just said that he had been rewarded by the Sanitary Bureau, and Qin Haodong took out a certificate issued by the Ministry of Health, which was more convincing than his verbal praise.
Although he was shocked, he couldn’t lose face in front of the goddess he loved. He said, “Su Hui, awards are useless. Last year, I was ranked as an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner. In the whole capital, only 100 people enjoy such an honor.”
“Honor? I also have it.”
Then he put another certificate on the table.
Sun Bowei looked down and saw that it was a certificate of National Grand Master of TCM issued by the Ministry of Health of Huaxia.
“What…”
Sun Bowei blushed with shame. He was being humiliated by Qin Haodong once again? He had just said that he was an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner in the capital while Qin Haodong showed him a certificate of National Grand Master of TCM. He didn’t know what to do next.
“Boy, don’t be too arrogant. These official things are nothing to me.
“My grandfather is the Medicine King of Huaxia. I learned medicine from my grandfather and have treated countless patients. They all call me Junior Medicine King. So public praise is the most important thing.”
“Do you mean reputation among the people? I have that as well.”
Qin Haodong stood up and said in Sun Bowei’s tone, “It seems that I can’t keep a low profile. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Haodong, and I have the nickname of Medical Sage in the field of traditional Chinese medicine!”
“What? You’re the Medical Sage Qin Haodong?”
As a member of the traditional Chinese medicine family, Sun Bowei had heard of the Medical Sage. When he heard that the young man in front of him was the famous Medical Sage, he was shocked and looked at him slack-jawed.
Half a month ago, he met Su Hui in the traditional Chinese medicine market. At that time, he was shocked and swore that he would be her boyfriend. But he didn’t expect that his rival in love was so powerful. This young man was actually the Medical Sage of Huaxia.
However, when he thought of his grandfather’s evaluation of Qin Haodong, he became much calmer.
After learning about the contributions of the Medical Sage and the Blood Revival Elixir that could completely cure leukemia, Sun Fengqing, the Medicine King, made such comments: “Such a young person could not have such incredible medical skills, let alone deserve the title of Medical Sage. The Blood Revival Elixir must have been developed under the guidance of a prescription left by his ancestors. He should not get credit for it.”
Thinking of this, he summoned up his courage once again and said to Qin Haodong, “Do you dare to compete with me in medical skills? If you lose, you’ll leave Su Hui. If I lose, then I will quit immediately and never step into the Donghui Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine ever again.”
Qin Haodong said, “You want to bet? Well, take out 10 million yuan. If I lose, I won’t take your money. If you win, this will still be your money.”
Sun Bowei said angrily, “Are you crazy? The money is mine. Why should I take it out to bet with you?”
“It’s good that you understand this. Su Hui is mine. Why should I bet with you?”
After Qin Haodong finished speaking, he kissed Su Hui on the cheek.
Su Hui blushed all of a sudden. She raised her hand and gently punched him in the chest. “What are you doing? There are so many people here!”
“You…”
Sun Bowei was so angry that he didn’t know what to say.
“It doesn’t make sense. Look at how much Doctor Qin and Doctor Su love each other. He actually wants to bet on Doctor Qin’s girlfriend. I really don’t know what’s going on in his mind…”
“That’s right. Isn’t this guy out of his mind?”
“How dare he admit that he’s a member of the Medicine King Clinic. I think he has really embarrassed the old Medicine King…”
Sun Bowei said angrily, “Qin Haodong, in my opinion, you’re just chasing fame. How about this? I’ll take out 10 million, and you’ll take out 10 million. How about we make a bet?”
Qin Haodong shook his head again and said, “Well, you can leave now. You’re not qualified to compete with me in medical skills. But your grandfather is quite eligible.”
“Don’t you dare?”
“It’s up to you to decide.”
Qin Haodong really didn’t take Sun Bowei seriously. If a nobody could challenge his medical skills, then his title of Medical Sage was too worthless.
“You…”
Sun Bowei was full of anger. Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind. He walked to another empty table next to him and sat down.
“It’s okay if you don’t dare to compete with me. Today, I’ll show you my medical skills.”
He said to the patients present, “I’m Sun Bowei from the Medicine King Clinic. Please come to me if you want to see a doctor. I can treat you for free.”
Seeing that he began to treat patients in her clinic, Su Hui stood up and said, “Sun Bowei, this is my clinic. Why are you treating patients here? Get out of here right now.”
“Su Hui, please leave me alone. I just want to show my skills to this guy. His reputation is not well-deserved.”
There were two purposes for him to treat the patients here. On the one hand, he wanted to defeat and humiliate Qin Haodong in public; on the other hand, he was eager to win Su Hui’s heart by showing his medical skills.
Su Hui was about to say something, but Qin Haodong stopped her and said, “Forget it. We don’t need to pay him. Let him do it if he wants.”
Hearing Qin Haodong’s words, Su Hui didn’t say anything else.
The patients present were not traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, so they did not know much about the Medical Sage, but they were very clear about the Medicine King Clinic, which was well-known in the capital.
Today, the Junior Medicine King would treat them for free. The patients immediately lined up in front of Sun Bowei. Qin Haodong and Su Hui had no work to do.
Sun Bowei glanced at Qin Haodong complacently and said, “See, this is fame.”
“Please get started. If there are difficult and complicated diseases that you don’t know how to deal with, feel free to ask me for help.”
Qin Haodong was not angry at all. He made two cups of fragrant tea, then gave one to Su Hui and left one for himself to enjoy slowly.
Sun Bowei snorted and began to treat the patients in front of him.
He was busy feeling the pulses, diagnosing, performing acupuncture, and writing prescriptions.
As the heir of the Medicine King Clinic, he boasted excellent medical skills. He was much better than his peers and could even be compared to many old Chinese medicine practitioners who had been famous for many years. Moreover, he was quick and finished treating more than a dozen patients in less than an hour.
At this time, a young woman in her 30s came in. She was not a beautiful girl, but she had a large bust. It seemed that she couldn’t see her toes if she didn’t lower her head. She was the kind of busty woman who would grab a man’s attention.
