The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter 81 Manager Wu's Recommendation

Upon hearing the sound, Mo Bai, who was about to put away the signboard, paused, somewhat surprised that business had come so quickly.

However, he did not turn around immediately. Instead, he continued his actions, pulling the signboard out from under the table leg and slowly rolling it up before turning to look at the person who had spoken.

Ahead, two people were walking slowly towards them. They were a man and a woman, and they looked to be quite young. The man was about twenty years old and dressed very stylishly. He wore a well-fitting suit with shiny leather shoes. He stood up straight and exuded a confident and slightly arrogant air.

Beside him was a woman, a bit younger, who looked about the same age as Mo Bai, around sixteen or seventeen. She wore a long dress typical of female college students and small leather shoes with Journey to the West bows on their feet. She was petite, yet graceful and elegant.

A glint flashed in Mo Bai's eyes. Judging from their clothes and appearance, he knew that these two came from good families, either from official or merchant families or from prestigious clans.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen!" As he was looking around, the two men had already approached. Mo Bai put away the signboard in his hand, placed it on the table, and calmly gestured with his hand.

"Huh?" The two looked at Mo Bai, and when they saw how young he was up close, they were both stunned for a moment, and then they looked around in unison.

Seeing no one else around, the man frowned slightly, glanced sideways at the now-closed sign, and said softly, "The doctor isn't here? Have they already closed for the day?"

Mo Bai knew what the two were thinking; they clearly regarded him as an apprentice or a handyman. However, his expression did not change. He simply said calmly, "It is I who am sitting here, but I have already closed for the day. If the condition of your family patients is not urgent, you can come again tomorrow."

"Are you the doctor at the number one medical clinic in the world?" The two young men paused simultaneously, then exchanged a glance. The female student then stared wide-eyed at Mo Bai, asking with great curiosity.

The man's face instantly darkened, and without a word, he pulled the woman around, saying, "Ruohan, let's go!"

"Brother, wait a minute!" The female student, addressed as Ruohan, paused and said, "Brother, since we're already here, let's talk to the doctor about the situation first!"

The man raised his eyebrows high, his anger seemingly coming from nowhere. Hearing this, he retorted, "What else is there to say? Can't you see? That Manager Wu sent us here to see him; he's clearly just trying to fob us off. Humph, I refuse to believe that in this entire Pearl Province, besides his Jishi Medical Clinic, there isn't a single doctor who can cure illnesses. Let's go back!"

After saying that, he grabbed the girl and left.

Mo Bai, sitting next to him, paused for a moment upon hearing the man's words, surprised that it was Manager Wu who had recommended them.

A thought flashed through his mind: judging from these two people, they didn't seem like people who couldn't afford to pay. How could Manager Wu turn away business and push it to him instead? It was clearly illogical.

"I'm afraid this patient's condition is rather complicated," Mo Bai thought to himself, but as he watched the brother and sister leave, he didn't say anything to stop them.

The business that had just come in was gone in the blink of an eye. Mo Bai lowered his head and gave a slight bitter smile, then shook his head. He knew he was too young, and it was normal for people not to believe him.

However, to treat patients, one must always have the trust of the patient or their family; otherwise, there will be many troubles, and it may even be impossible to proceed.

From his very first sentence, this young man has shown himself to be a very opinionated person. He has decided that you are no good, so the more you try to beg him to treat your illness, the more he will think you are a fraud and look down on you even more.

Therefore, he did not try to keep them. If the patient in their family was really in critical condition, they would come to him sooner or later. When the patient's condition was truly critical, he was not so arrogant. He would seize any glimmer of hope.

Without giving it much thought, I continued tidying up the medical instruments on the table, preparing to call it a day.

In the distance, the brother and sister were walking forward when suddenly the girl turned back, looked at the calm-looking Mo Bai, her eyes flickering slightly, and grabbed the man's arm: "Brother, wait!"

"What's wrong?" the man asked, looking at him.

"Brother, didn't that young doctor just tell us that we have a sick person in our family?" the girl asked, staring at her brother.

"Hmm?" The man still seemed to be in a very bad mood and didn't seem to care too much about it, but he did remember what had just happened. He nodded and said, "I did mention it."

"Brother, how do you think he knew it wasn't just the two of us who needed to see a doctor, but someone else?" The girl's eyes gleamed slightly.

"This..." The man was also taken aback, but then shook his head and said, "There's nothing strange about this. We're both perfectly fine; we don't look like we're sick at all."

"Brother, since we're already here, let's go ask what's going on, okay?" the girl said, staring at her brother.

Actually, his sister's words had already stirred his heart. It was obvious that this young doctor was indeed a real doctor, otherwise how could he have accurately determined at a glance that the two of them were not sick?

"Forget it. No matter what, he's just a barefoot doctor with a street stall, and he's so young. Even the Jishi Medical Clinic is starting to refuse to treat my father's illness anymore..." The man shook his head, his voice low.

Upon hearing this, the girl also became depressed. Seeing her appearance, the man felt sorry for her and comforted her, "It's alright. My brother has already asked a friend to inquire about doctors in the capital. Mingzhu is not comparable to the capital, so I'm sure news will come soon."

"Hmm!" The girl nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then looked back at Mo Bai, only to see that Mo Bai had already packed his things and was walking towards the restaurant.

She didn't say anything more and left with her older brother.

Inside the Jishi Medical Clinic.

After watching the brother and sister leave, the waiter immediately returned to the shopkeeper's side and whispered, "Shopkeeper Wu, the brother and sister are gone."

"Hmm, have they gone to the other side?" Manager Wu looked up at the waiter.

The waiter nodded and said, "He went, but he didn't even say a word. He glanced at Mr. Changqing and then turned and left."

"Heh... Look, he even said he wanted to introduce some business to him, but the other party still looks down on him. Sigh, this is really..." A smile appeared on Manager Wu's face.

"Shopkeeper, you think too highly of him. These days, every clinic in Pearl City, big or small, dreads seeing these brother and sister..."

Shopkeeper Wu glanced with a smile at the now empty black-and-white stall outside the door, said nothing more, and waved his hand, saying, "Get ready to close up shop!"

……

Mo Bai didn't think too much about it. After dinner, he asked the waiter to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine for him to decoct.

Naturally, he didn't go to the Jishi Medical Clinic across the street to get more medicine. With the few dozen silver coins he had left, Mo Bai simply couldn't afford it.

After taking the medicine, I meditated all night.

The next morning, just as he finished getting ready to set up his stall, he suddenly heard a knock at the door: "Brother Bai, are you still resting?"

Ok?

Is it Manager Chen?

So early?

Mo Bai's eyes flickered slightly. Yesterday afternoon, Manager Chen left the restaurant to meet the owner.

He hadn't returned by the time he closed his stall, but this morning he came to knock on the door himself, and his voice clearly carried a hint of joy.

Mo Bai knew that he had definitely achieved his goal.

He slowly went to open the door and, sure enough, saw Manager Chen with a ruddy complexion and an undisguised sense of pride in his eyes. Mo Bai quickly invited him into the house.

Sure enough, Manager Chen mentioned that he had met with the owner yesterday and received high praise from him. Furthermore, the owner had instructed that the calligraphy should be immediately replaced with a new signboard.

Mo Bai quickly offered his congratulations, saying, "Congratulations, brother, on achieving your wish!"

"Hahaha..." Manager Chen laughed heartily before even sitting down, cupping his fists at Mo Bai and saying, "This time, it's all thanks to your brilliant help, brother!"

"Not at all, brother, there's no need for that. If your shop owner hadn't already valued your abilities, how could he have made such a big decision over a single piece of calligraphy? It's all thanks to your extraordinary abilities!" Mo Bai didn't take credit for it.

In the end, as expected, the calligraphy was an opportunity for Manager Chen, but it was of little use to Mo Bai. His employer left only one sentence, which he greatly appreciated, saying that he would invite Mo Bai to his residence for a chat when he had time, and that was the end of it.

Of course, in Manager Chen's eyes, this was an excellent opportunity. He said that if Mo Bai could be on good terms with the owner, he might become famous just by his calligraphy.

Mo Bai just smiled, and in the end, Manager Chen still left a note as a payment.

The amount was quite extraordinary, a full twenty silver coins.

Mo Bai declined several times, but eventually could not refuse and accepted it. He knew that for Manager Chen, these twenty silver coins were indeed not as valuable as his position.

After he left, Mo Bai continued to set up his stall.

I thought today would be another day of waiting, but to my surprise, I saw a familiar figure walking by shortly after I opened my stall.
