The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 127 Pocket Money

Chen Xiao was immediately stunned. With just that one sentence, he realized that Zhao Xiaobo was no longer the Zhao Xiaobo he used to know.

Or rather, he had always been this Zhao Xiaobo, but in the past, due to poverty, he had hidden himself very well.

Chen Xiao gave a couple of awkward smiles, not responding. However, Zhao Xiaobo insisted on trying to show off in front of Chen Xiao.

He asked, "I heard that after graduation, you worked as a doctor in a traditional Chinese medicine shop?"

Chen Xiao said, "Yes, I did for a while, but now I've transferred to Jiangcheng Hospital."

Zhao Xiaobo's eyes flickered, and then he said arrogantly, "How much money can you earn as a doctor in a month? Especially a young doctor like you. Just earning a fixed salary, maybe two or three thousand?"

"Heh, that's about it, can't compare to you."

Chen Xiao found it amusing, but he didn't want to argue with him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaobo took it a step further, "You want to compare with me? Heh, old classmate, don't blame me for being blunt, but let's be honest, we're not in the same social class anymore, there's no comparison!"

Zhao Xiaobo said this with a straight face, making it seem like he wasn't even showing off.

As if what he said was the truth.

Zhao Xiaobo was jumping around like a clown, and Chen Xiao was filled with helplessness.

He didn't even have the desire to slap this clown in the face, so he directly turned his head to look at Wu Feier.

"Feier, where's your aunt? I'll go see her."

"My mom is in that bedroom."

Wu Feier pointed to a room and said, then she hesitated and stammered,

"Um, Chen Xiao... uh, can you lend me the money first? I want to buy the medicine first."

Chen Xiao smacked his forehead and immediately took out a card and handed it over,

"Look at my memory, I would have forgotten if you didn't remind me. Take this money and use it first."

Zhao Xiaobo looked confused and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Wu Feier, are you kidding me? You're borrowing money from this poor guy? How much do you want to borrow, three thousand? Or five thousand?"

In his opinion, Chen Xiao's income wouldn't allow him to have more than five figures in savings.

Wu Feier glared at him, "Zhao Xiaobo, don't talk nonsense, this is money to buy medicine for my mom."

Zhao Xiaobo sneered, "Buy medicine? Is the money in this card enough to buy medicine? Are you kidding me?"

"Chen Xiao, tell him how much money is in the card!"

Wu Feier said confidently.

Although she didn't know exactly how much money was in the card, she was sure it wouldn't be less than a million.

Chen Xiao scratched his head, "I don't remember exactly how much is in there..."

He initially deposited five million into this card. He spent some when he bought raw jade stones, but he didn't remember the exact amount left.

However, in Zhao Xiaobo's eyes, this appearance was just a lack of confidence. He immediately mocked, "You don't even know how much money is in the card? Are you embarrassed to say because there's too little? But it just so happens that I have a POS machine with me, we'll swipe it and find out."

Zhao Xiaobo's job was as a medical representative, which was basically a pharmaceutical company salesman, so he carried a POS machine with him.

However, when he swiped the bank card on the POS machine, the string of zeros inside dazzled his eyes.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million... three, three million nine hundred thousand?!"

He looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief. This kid, isn't he just a small doctor? Where did he get so much money?

But Chen Xiao said casually, "This is just my pocket money. I don't usually check the balance when I spend money, it's all small change. Feier, just take it and use it."

Zhao Xiaobo felt dizzy and almost fainted.

What? Several million is just pocket money? Then how much savings does he have? Could it be more than ten million?

Although he made a million a year on paper, he hadn't been working long, and after expenses and taxes,

His savings were just over a million, which was nothing compared to Chen Xiao.

This blow was too great, and Zhao Xiaobo couldn't react for a moment, feeling like he was floating in the clouds.

Wu Feier knew Chen Xiao's identity, so she wasn't shocked at all when she heard this.

She urged Zhao Xiaobo, "Zhao Xiaobo, now that we have the money, can you sell me the medicine?"

Before Zhao Xiaobo could reply, Chen Xiao spoke first, "Wait a minute, Feier, let me go check on your aunt first. If even I can't do anything, then it's not too late to buy it."

Although Wu Feier didn't believe in Chen Xiao's medical skills, she didn't object at all, since the money was Chen Xiao's anyway.

Zhao Xiaobo was so devastated that he was still standing there in a daze even after Chen Xiao and Wu Feier had left.

After a long while, he finally found a way to get back on top.

Although Wu Feier had money to buy the medicine, the decision of whether or not to sell the medicine was in his hands!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaobo's confidence returned.

He showed a cold smile on his face, thinking that he must take advantage of this bitch!

He strode into the bedroom, just wanting to threaten Wu Feier,

When he heard Chen Xiao say, "Feier, your aunt's illness can still be saved, but it will take some time. At most half a year, at least a month, and I can completely eliminate the cancer cells in your aunt's body."

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Wu Feier asked incredulously, "Chen Xiao, is what you're saying true?"

Reason was telling her that she couldn't believe it.

But out of trust in Chen Xiao, she half-believed it.

Mother Wu said weakly, "Feier, let your classmate help me treat it, even if it doesn't cure it, it won't make it worse, right?"

Zhao Xiaobo was completely dumbfounded. How could things not go according to his script?

What should have happened next was that he would threaten Wu Feier with the special medicine, and Wu Feier would beg him while crying, right?

But what was the situation now?

Just as Zhao Xiaobo was confused, Chen Xiao had already taken out the silver needles.

He shouted, "Stop!"

Chen Xiao frowned and looked at him, asking coldly, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Xiaobo mocked, "What are you doing? Trying to treat cancer with acupuncture? How did you even think of that?"

Then he questioned Wu Feier,

"Wu Feier, you're a medical graduate, are you just watching him mess around like this?"

Wu Feier was a little flustered.

Because Zhao Xiaobo's words hit her heart, she also felt that Chen Xiao was messing around.

But Chen Xiao asked in return, "Who said acupuncture can't treat cancer?"

"I... this..."

Zhao Xiaobo was speechless, but he still said stubbornly,

"This is basic common sense! Everyone knows it!"

Chen Xiao had long been displeased with him, sneered, and said, "Then if I can cure cancer with acupuncture, what will you do?"

Zhao Xiaobo: "I'll do anything you want me to do!"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, and finally said jokingly, "Then let's make a bet, using your salary for one year as a bet, do you dare?"
