"What?"
Chen Xiao was stunned by Bai Su's sudden signature auntie smile, clearly not understanding what she meant.
Bai Su, assuming Chen Xiao was playing dumb, became even more gossipy.
"Is it Nurse Xu or Deputy Director Zhou? They are both top beauties in the Central Hospital, and they're both close to you. If you want to date, there's no reason not to choose one of them, right? Shall I personally help you set it up?"
Chen Xiao's forehead was covered in black lines. He forced a wry smile.
"Doesn't the Central Hospital strictly prohibit relationships between colleagues? And I heard that was the first management regulation you issued after taking office."
"Ahem..."
Bai Su coughed lightly, her face unblushing and her breathing steady.
"Hmph! It's good that you know. I just wanted to test if you had any intentions in that area. After all, from what I've heard, neither Xu Jingyin nor Zhou Wannong are suitable matches for you. If you dated either of them, your mother would likely not be at ease."
Chen Xiao's mouth twitched. He said with a wry smile,
"Why?"
Bai Su replied with a tone of certainty.
"As everyone knows, Xu Jingyin is an orphan with a poor family background. She has to support her elderly grandmother in the countryside and take care of her frail younger brother's studies. It's a struggle. If you were with her, would your mother be at ease? As for Zhou Wannong, although her background is mysterious, she drives a Porsche worth tens of millions when she comes and goes to work. Moreover, she easily got you a waiver for the professional physician qualification through the relevant superior departments, which indicates she comes from a wealthy family. The saying goes, 'The deep sea of a wealthy family is unfathomable.' If you were with her, your mother would definitely be worried..."
She paused, then suddenly changed the subject, continuing to wink and nudge.
"But I'm not your mother, I don't have so many worries. As long as it's someone you like, I will support you unconditionally. Not to mention, with your handsome looks and the incredible medical skills you've shown recently, forget Nurse Xu or Deputy Director Zhou, even being with Song Yan or Song Nuan from the richest family would be them getting the better end of the deal! So, I plan to try and transfer all the single, eligible beautiful women in the hospital to your emergency department. You can go wild. With me here, the regulation prohibiting relationships between colleagues will definitely not apply to you."
"This... ahem..."
Chen Xiao realized Bai Su had been secretly watching him and was instantly flustered.
Just then, Xu Jingyin suddenly called, saying she had encountered a difficult patient that even Meng Baobao couldn't handle.
Chen Xiao felt like he had been granted a great pardon. He quickly said,
"Bai... Aunt Bai, there's an emergency. I... I need to go to work."
Saying that, he made a move to slip away.
"Wait!"
Bai Su's eyes were quick, and she lightning-fast grabbed Chen Xiao. Her tone suddenly became serious.
"Although I support your freedom to date, you must keep your eyes wide open. Especially be careful of Zhou Wannong. I always feel that her waiving your exam and promoting you to a resident physician is not well-intentioned!"
Although Bai Su was constantly paying attention to Chen Xiao, Zhou Wannong, as Long Aotian's granddaughter, had the protection of special agents arranged by the Northern Border Army. It was impossible to investigate her thoroughly.
Even more so, ever since Chen Xiao treated Long Aotian, and especially since the first batch of military-grade Sumeru Mustard Paste was delivered by Jinfang Pharmaceutical this morning, Chen Xiao's every move had received increasingly tight protection, and the level of protection was far superior to Zhou Wannong's.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if Roline, known as "Black Widow" in the international assassin and mercenary circles, was loyal to Ye Tiezhu, it would be extremely difficult for her to investigate Chen Xiao's information. Moreover, Roline had completely betrayed Ye Tiezhu, making it even more impossible for her to tell Ye Tiezhu her real observations at Jinfang Pharmaceutical.
Because of this, Ye Tiezhu was anxiously waiting in examination room number eight, hoping that the Super Doctor King introduced by his old classmate Zheng Liming would help him resolve his troubles. He would never have thought that the Dr. Chen he was longing for was the new owner of Jinfang Pharmaceutical, assuming they were just coincidentally named the same.
Ye Tiezhu was looking forward with great anticipation, and time felt like years. Less than two minutes after Xu Jingyin finished her call with Chen Xiao, he couldn't hold back and urged again.
"Doctor, nurse, how much longer until Dr. Chen can see me?"
Meng Baobao, annoyed, turned away with a dark expression, saying without looking back,
"Didn't we already call? He should be here soon. Please wait a little longer."
Although she had noble medical ethics and rushed to examination room number eight to help with consultations, the problem was that Ye Tiezhu specifically requested to see Chen Xiao and had never told her what his illness was. Her examination room number one was already overcrowded, and her phone was ringing off the hook.
Ye Tiezhu was anxious and ignored Meng Baobao's impatience, continuing to eagerly urge Xu Jingyin.
"Nurse, could you please call Dr. Chen again?"
Although Chen Xiao's medical skills were heaven-defying, he was still too young and had no reputation. Since he became a consulting doctor, there had always been very few patients registered in examination room number eight, and the number of patients seen was directly linked to Xu Jingyin's salary.
Xu Jingyin finally found a patient like Ye Tiezhu who had registered voluntarily. It was strange, but she didn't want to miss it easily. She didn't care if calling again might anger Chen Xiao. After a slight hesitation, she picked up her phone and softly comforted him.
"Mr. Ye, please don't worry. I'll call now."
Just then, Chen Xiao finally returned from the dean's office.
Xu Jingyin was both surprised and delighted. She quickly introduced to Ye Tiezhu.
"Mr. Ye, this is Dr. Chen Xiao, the consulting doctor in our examination room number eight."
"This..."
Ye Tiezhu never dreamed that the Super Doctor King, praised so highly by Zheng Liming, would be a young man who looked no older than twenty. He was somewhat astonished, but this consultation was related to his lower body. After a brief pause, he jumped up from his stool and politely shook Chen Xiao's hand.
"Dr. Chen, hello. My name is Ye Tiezhu. I was introduced by Zheng Liming, the Vice Chairman of Juxian City Aviation Company. I sincerely seek medical help and hope you can assist me."
In Juxian City, although there were many people named Ye, and names like "Yuzhu," "Tiezhu," and "Gangzhu" were very common, Chen Xiao had heard the name Ye Tiezhu of Jiuding Pharmaceutical the most in the past two days. It was hard not to suspect Ye Tiezhu's identity.
Furthermore, with the mysterious wordless golden formula in his mind, Chen Xiao diagnosed Ye Tiezhu's lower body as having suffered very severe trauma, just as Roline had said, merely by observation.
Therefore, in just one meeting, Chen Xiao had a clear understanding of Ye Tiezhu's identity, but he didn't reveal it at all. After all, Ye Tiezhu genuinely seemed to be seeking medical help, and Chen Xiao felt no hostility. So, he got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ye, are you looking to restore your male virility or regain fertility like Vice Chairman Zheng? To be frank, your injuries are too severe, and you've delayed for too long. You've missed the best treatment window. Regaining fertility will take a long time and considerable effort, and it will take at least three to five years to see initial results."
"This..."
Ye Tiezhu was stunned again. He never dreamed that Chen Xiao could diagnose his embarrassing male ailment in just one meeting. He became excited as if he had been injected with a stimulant. He couldn't care about Xu Jingyin's presence and eagerly said,
"Dr. Chen, if I only want to restore my male virility, how long would it take at the fastest?"
He was nearing fifty, and his son was older than Chen Xiao. Naturally, he didn't aspire to regain fertility like Zheng Liming.
Chen Xiao replied without hesitation.
"Instantaneous, effective on the spot. But to fully recover, you'll need to continue medication for about half a month. And during the medication period, you should exercise restraint as much as possible, otherwise, it will take longer."
"Really?"
Ye Tiezhu's heart leaped into his throat. His face turned red with excitement, and his whole body trembled. Under Zheng Liming's instructions, he quickly shoved a check he had prepared in his pocket into Chen Xiao's arms.
"Dr. Chen, this is a two-million-dollar check. I hope you don't find it too little. And please rest assured, if you can truly cure my illness, I will give you another three million in consultation fees."
"..."
Xu Jingyin was dumbfounded. Her brain instantly crashed. For a moment, she seriously doubted if the currency units in Chen Xiao's world were different from hers. Otherwise, why did a patient who came the day before yesterday also casually give Chen Xiao a two-million-dollar check, and Chen Xiao didn't even accept it? Yet she was worried sick about her salary of a few thousand yuan a month.
"Two million plus three million is five million, right?"
Since Chen Xiao knew Ye Tiezhu's identity, he naturally wouldn't be polite. Under Xu Jingyin's astonished gaze, he shook his head without even looking at the check Ye Tiezhu handed him.
"May I ask, Mr. Ye, have you seen other doctors before coming to the Central Hospital to see me? How much have you spent already?"
"This..."
Ye Tiezhu realized Chen Xiao thought two million was too little and was suddenly stunned. But the hope of recovery was right in front of him, and he was unwilling to miss it. After a slight hesitation, he said with a wry smile,
"Dr. Chen, to be honest, since I was injured, I've visited almost all the renowned hospitals around the world and have spent over ten million."
"..."
Xu Jingyin was speechless again, increasingly convinced that the currency units in her world were different from Chen Xiao's. Because in her world, she couldn't even imagine having a deposit of a hundred thousand yuan. Since joining the Central Hospital, she had seen many patients or their families give up hope of treatment due to tens of thousands of yuan in treatment fees more than once.
Chen Xiao was not surprised that Ye Tiezhu had already spent tens of millions. He even suspected that Ye Tiezhu had understated it. He sneered.
"You spent over ten million elsewhere and couldn't get cured, but you want to get cured here for five million, and you plan to pay in two installments? Do you think my medical skills are not worth your sincere appreciation? If that's the case, you should find someone else!"
"Dr. Chen, don't..."
Ye Tiezhu suddenly panicked, almost crying on the spot. After all, as a man, what was the point of having so much money if his virility was lost? After a slight hesitation, he said with great pain.
"Is ten million okay? If it is, I'll call my assistant right now to arrange it quickly, and it can be credited in a few minutes."
Chen Xiao slightly shook his head and directly held up three fingers, saying decisively.
"Thirty million. Not a penny less. Of course, it's up to you. But frankly, if you miss me, you'll likely spend the rest of your life as a eunuch with your money."
"Clatter—"
Xu Jingyin, who was organizing medical records, stiffened. A thick stack of medical records in her arms fell to the ground.
