Chapter 71

"What's with that old man who's collecting antiques? Has he really been bewitched by the spirits of Yang Qi and his family?"

Chen Li had almost finished eating, took a sip of wine, and jokingly asked.

Zhao Guangzhu swallowed the yam, quickly raised his wine glass with both hands to offer a toast, but seeing Mr. Chen wave his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, he felt that their relationship had improved, and downed his drink in one gulp, smacking his lips as he said:

"Mr. Chen is referring to Yang Zhongxiang, a major collector in the antique world."

"There are rumors that he secretly possessed a funerary object, which is said to be a bronze ram-headed human figure worth hundreds of millions, and that the spirit inside stole his life."

"As for whether it's true or not, the grass on the grave has grown a meter high, so no one can say for sure."

"On the other hand, whether a house is haunted depends on who lives there. Mr. Chen's medical skills are unparalleled, and his martial arts are unmatched. Even if there are any evil spirits or demons, they would have to stay far away from him."

That sounds like a compliment.

Chen Li was still pondering the whole situation, and nodded in response with a smile, but did not continue the conversation.

The meal took an hour, and I drank two bottles of Moutai.

Chen Li possessed immense internal strength, and the wine was refined as soon as he drank it. As for Zhao Guangzhu, his tongue began to malfunction as he spoke, and after finishing talking about the hospital's evaluation and promotion the next day, he started to sway.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiaoyu called the driver who was waiting outside, and together they helped him into the car and took him home.

Chen Li hiccuped, picked up the documents left by Zhao Guangzhu, went to the living room, and sat on the sofa.

This place is where spiritual energy gathers. Others may not notice anything, but he has a refreshing and enjoyable feeling. No wonder the old man in the black cloth jacket and the girl in the blue dress who came to visit looked at him with hostility.

In the short term, there is no need to worry about the effects of the spirit-gathering array on people, although it is common for people to experience physical problems after being immersed in it.

But it shouldn't be as bizarre as Xiaoyu described.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

A series of strange events are related to feng shui formations, but not entirely. As for whether it was murder, we don't know.

Chen Li flipped through the documents; they contained detailed information on three other competitors:

Century Hospital, a four-star hospital, is backed by the Juxian Chamber of Commerce, which is managed by the Zhuque branch.

Guangfeng Hospital, a four-star hospital, is owned by the wealthy Li family.

Tianji Hospital, a four-star hospital, is an enterprise under the Tianlong Group.

Chen Li shook his head and laughed. The underground Juxian Chamber of Commerce has even opened a hospital. How much benevolence and morality can they have in treating the sick and saving lives?

The Li family, a wealthy and influential family, is no stranger to this group.

Mu Ningshuang's aunt, Li Lanzhi, is a member of the Li family. She used to clamor to marry Mu Ningshuang off to Li Yan, but we haven't heard from that shrewish woman lately.

As for Tianlong Group, it is a large capital conglomerate that can compete with Juxian Chamber of Commerce and the powerful Li family, so it must be rich, powerful and influential.

All things considered, Zhao's Harmony Hospital is really no match for the other three.

If Zhao Qianshui hadn't been a leading figure in Yuncheng's medical community, he probably wouldn't even have been eligible for a nomination. After all, running a hospital is a business, and everyone values ​​profit and money.

Chen Li flipped through the documents to the end and saw a draft contract. He took it out and looked at it carefully. It was written in black and white that if he could successfully upgrade to a five-star hospital, Harmony Hospital would give him 45% of its shares.

All he needs to do is sign.

He put the documents and contracts aside and rubbed his temples with his fingers spread apart.

motherfucker.

A medical skill that relies on fighting to win?

This forces him to fight tooth and nail against underground forces, wealthy families, and conglomerates!

……

Inside the Juxian Chamber of Commerce meeting hall.

A beam of light fell directly onto the table from above, while the surrounding area was pitch black, casting shadows over the attendees.

The chairman was seated at the head of the group.

The heads of the four branch halls sat on either side.

The head manager of the Qinglong branch is Lin Xiao.

The head manager of the Black Tiger branch, Tiger, is dead, and his position is vacant.

The Vermilion Bird Branch Hall, head manager Ye Zong.

Xuanwu Branch, Head Manager Han Xue.

"Gentlemen, let's hear your thoughts."

The president of Juxian Chamber of Commerce sounded very young.

In the light and shadow, only a pale hand with distinct knuckles was visible. On the index finger was a ring bearing the tokens of past presidents, and the thumb was caressing the dark green gemstone set in it.

"The international situation is getting worse, especially in China, which has zero tolerance for contraband. Business is difficult and risky. I suggest we cut off this line of business."

Lin Xiao, the head manager of the Qinglong branch, made the suggestion.

I second that.

"This is what Ye Zong, the head manager of the Vermilion Bird branch, said."

I second that.

Han Xue, the head manager of the Xuanwu branch, didn't want to cause any trouble.

I second that.

The president of the Juxian Chamber of Commerce changed the subject and continued:

"I'm not asking if you want to do business with contraband. The Black Tiger branch was severely damaged by the Special Operations Group. Have you learned anything from that?"

"For example, why was Tiger so easily defeated?"

"If Chen Li, who killed Tiger, becomes your opponent, how confident are you of winning?"

"Or perhaps, as weak and frail as Tiger Lord?"

The head manager of the Suzaku Wind Branch sneered:

"Tiger is a seasoned veteran, resourceful, and meticulous in his work."

"Unfortunately, the knife above the word 'lust' scratched his bones, and he fell into its trap without realizing it."

"If he hadn't been so careless, he would have killed ten Chen Lis long ago."

After waiting a moment, seeing that the other two were not behaving themselves, the president spoke up:

"Is it possible that Chen Li is indeed very strong?"

"And are they lackeys released by some powerful force, aiming to oppose the Juxian Chamber of Commerce and overturn the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of Yun City?"

"Even if he hadn't been careless, it wouldn't have changed the final outcome."

"I've called you here to discuss how to ensure that Juxian Chamber of Commerce remains at the pinnacle of Yuncheng, preventing other families and martial arts forces from ever rising to prominence, not to discuss whether Tiger Lord is in love with his adopted son's woman or some third-rate celebrity."

"Master Ye controls the Vermilion Bird Hall, which owns numerous industries such as pharmaceutical factories, hospitals, and medicinal herb production bases. It can be said that he controls half of the pharmaceutical industry in Yuncheng. There is something I can entrust to you right now."

As the chairman spoke, he pushed out a stack of documents.

A large, thick hand reached out and pressed down on the sliding document.

Ye Zong looked down and flipped through the pages, saying:

"Zhao Guangzhu of Harmony Hospital hired Chen Li as a visiting physician to compete for a spot in the hospital's upgrade? Does Chen Li have medical expertise?"

The president stood up, the sound of his leather shoes echoing:

"He not only knows medicine, but he also saved the person who was dragged to Muding Mountain at the gate of Fengdu City by the Black and White Impermanence."

"If we lose this round, wouldn't it be bad for Master Ye's reputation?"

Lin Xiao, the head manager of Qinglong, and Han Xue, the head manager of Xuanwu, also got up and left, choosing to remain indifferent as it was none of their business.

After all, their relationship wasn't that great; they were just doing their jobs.

Isn't refraining from interfering in the affairs of other halls a form of respect?
