“Boss Ma, if it’s inconvenient today, I can come back another time to see you!” Jiang Yi said to Ma Bai.
“Alright, let’s do another day then!” Ma Bai replied with a smile.
Everyone present was taken aback by his words.
“Here is my business card!” Ma Bai handed his card to Jiang Yi.
The onlookers were stunned once again! Getting a business card from Ma Bai was not an easy feat. Without being a person of significant influence, one would hardly stand a chance.
Before anyone could process what was happening, Ma Bai spoke to Jiang Yi again, “How about you give me your phone number? I’ll contact you when I have some free time!”
“Okay!” Jiang Yi nodded and gave him his number. Ma Bai took out his phone and saved Jiang Yi’s contact information directly.
Seeing this, everyone’s gaze shifted to Jiang Yi. Xiao Wenbin, in particular, looked utterly confused and perplexed. He couldn't understand why Boss Ma would give Jiang Yi his business card and ask for his phone number, even before knowing if Jiang Yi could actually treat him.
Xiao Jianren was also dumbfounded. However, a hint of smugness soon appeared on his face. In Xiao Jianren’s opinion, Jiang Yi was his subordinate, and it was a good thing that Jiang Yi was being recognized by Boss Ma.
“Ring, ring…” Jiang Yi’s phone suddenly rang.
“Excuse me, I need to take this call!” Jiang Yi said, turning away and leaving the hall for the courtyard outside. The call was from Shen Lu. Shen Lu calling out of the blue must mean it was urgent. Jiang Yi answered the phone.
“Miss Dongfang already knows you’re in the capital!” Shen Lu’s voice came through the phone. “Miss Dongfang called just now, asking about your whereabouts. I didn’t tell her, but Miss Dongfang will likely find you soon!”
Jiang Yi remained calm upon hearing this. If Dongfang Mei didn’t know he was in the capital, then she wouldn’t be Dongfang Mei.
“Is there anything else?” Jiang Yi asked.
“No, that’s all!” Shen Lu replied. Jiang Yi didn’t say anything further and hung up. He had expected Shen Lu to call about something important, but it turned out to be just about Dongfang Mei.
“Jiang Yi…” Xiao Jianren walked out of the hall and patted Jiang Yi’s shoulder. “Let’s go! You should go back and prepare yourself properly, then go and treat Boss Ma!” Jiang Yi nodded.
“If you can cure Boss Ma’s illness this time, you and Fuguai Hospital will be all over the headlines. Many people will seek you out for treatment, and we’ll get rich!” Xiao Jianren laughed heartily.
Jiang Yi remained silent. He had managed to gain Xiao Jianren’s trust for now. If he could cure Ma Bai’s illness, Xiao Jianren would undoubtedly trust him completely. At that point, he could leverage Xiao Jianren for his own purposes. Thinking of this, Jiang Yi grinned.
“However, Boss Ma’s illness is very difficult to treat, and if you fail, the trouble will be significant!” Xiao Jianren frowned deeply. “This matter will surely attract the attention of everyone in the medical community, especially Xiao Wenbin, who will definitely seize the opportunity to make trouble.”
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, Xiao Jianren got into the car. “Let’s go, get in the car. I have to treat you properly today!” Xiao Jianren said to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi got into the car, unsure of where Xiao Jianren was taking him.
An hour later, Xiao Jianren drove to the entrance of a bar. Jiang Yi felt a bit speechless! So, Xiao Jianren had brought him to a bar for drinks. Was drinking considered a treat?
Upon arriving at the bar, Xiao Jianren booked a private room and made a few phone calls. A few minutes later, several men who looked like businessmen arrived; they were Xiao Jianren’s business partners. Xiao Jianren introduced them to Jiang Yi. The businessmen were also very courteous towards Jiang Yi.
A moment later, a woman dressed alluringly entered the private room. She wore a fitted red dress, was beautiful, and possessed a sexy, hot figure – a real stunner. The woman glanced at Jiang Yi and then addressed Xiao Jianren, “Cousin, I didn’t expect you to find another new subordinate. Aren’t you going to introduce him?”
“He’s Jiang Yi, a divine physician at my hospital, with astonishing medical skills!” Xiao Jianren said proudly to the woman. He then recounted what had happened at the party. Hearing this, the woman became interested in Jiang Yi.
“Jiang Yi, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Bai Hongmei!” Xiao Jianren pointed to the woman and said to Jiang Yi. “She’s also the owner of this bar. She has over a dozen such bars in Jiang City and is a major figure in the industry…”
“Miss Bai, hello!” Jiang Yi greeted Bai Hongmei.
“Hello!” Bai Hongmei smiled charmingly and said to Jiang Yi, “I didn’t expect someone your age to have such capabilities. It’s truly impressive. From now on, you are a distinguished guest at my bar. You can come play anytime, and it’s on the house.”
“Thank you, Miss Bai!” Jiang Yi expressed his gratitude. Bai Hongmei gave Jiang Yi a flirtatious glance and then left the private room. Jiang Yi smiled slightly as he watched Bai Hongmei’s retreating figure. This woman was very attractive, but she was still quite a bit behind Dongfang Mei.
“Jiang Yi, you better not get any ideas about my cousin. She’s not someone you can mess with. Sometimes, even I am afraid of her,” Xiao Jianren warned Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze. He wasn’t interested in Bai Hongmei; he just found her to be an unusual woman.
After drinking with Jiang Yi and Xiao Jianren for a while, the businessmen took their leave. Only Jiang Yi and Xiao Jianren remained in the private room.
“I brought you here today not just to reward you, but also for a very important matter.” Xiao Jianren opened his briefcase, took out a file folder, and handed it to Jiang Yi. “This is a medical record. Take a good look and see if you can cure him!”
Jiang Yi opened the record and studied it carefully. After finishing, he returned it to Xiao Jianren.
“How is it? Can you cure him?” Xiao Jianren asked Jiang Yi.
“Just looking at the medical record isn’t enough to determine. I need to see the patient personally to be sure!” Jiang Yi replied. Hearing this, Xiao Jianren’s expression showed hesitation.
“Who is this patient?” Jiang Yi asked.
“It’s my grandfather!” Xiao Jianren took a deep breath. “Over twenty years ago, he had an accident and has been bedridden ever since.”
Jiang Yi sneered upon hearing this. It seemed the patient was none other than the old master of the Xiao family, Ye Yanran’s grandfather.
“Then when can I meet Old Master Xiao? I can only treat him if I see him in person. Giving me a medical record is useless,” Jiang Yi shrugged.
