Qin Shuran nodded sadly when these things were brought up.
Chen Fan comforted her, "It's okay. What era is it now? Parents' orders and matchmakers' words are no longer valid. As long as I'm here, I'll keep playing along with you."
Qin Shuran was stunned. She hadn't expected Chen Fan to say that. A smile appeared on her previously dejected face as she asked, "Are you not going to find a girlfriend in the future?"
"Alas, my heart is broken, so you're getting a bargain. But you owe me a meal, at least two thousand yuan to start," Chen Fan said, holding up two fingers.
"You just hugged my waist, that should count as a meal, right?"
Chen Fan was taken aback. "I was helping you, okay? That doesn't count."
Seeing Chen Fan's expression, Qin Shuran felt much better and said triumphantly, "What? You think my tofu is that easy to eat?"
She then added, "Alright, it's time to work. Let's eat lunch together."
With that, Qin Shuran walked into the consultation room.
Chen Fan touched his nose and walked towards the surgical consultation room helplessly.
At this moment, in the surgical consultation room, Liu Qianze was sitting in a chair. Seeing Chen Fan return, a cold look appeared on his face. "Dr. Chen, I have something I want to say to you."
Chen Fan came to his seat and sat down, looking at Liu Qianze.
"This is a check. As long as you agree to leave Shuran, write down whatever amount you want." Liu Qianze stood up, walked to Chen Fan's side, and placed a blank check in front of him.
It was Chen Fan's first time seeing a check, and he looked a bit curious. He picked up the check and asked in surprise, "So this is a check? As long as I write a number on it, I can get money from the bank?"
Seeing that Chen Fan had never even seen a check, a mocking look appeared on Liu Qianze's face. "That's right. You can exchange the money on this check at the bank."
"Dr. Chen, a wise man knows when to adapt. You should know that with your background, you are not worthy of Shuran. Moreover, you should know what 'matching social status' means. Being with Shuran will only bring you trouble. Her family will not allow a useless doctor like you to be their son-in-law."
Chen Fan glanced at Liu Qianze and asked, "Then how much do you think Dr. Qin is worth in your heart?"
Liu Qianze sneered dismissively, "She is naturally priceless."
"Alright then."
As Chen Fan spoke, he reached for a pen on the table.
Seeing Chen Fan pick up the pen, the mocking look on Liu Qianze's face intensified, and he smugly thought, as expected, no one can resist the temptation of money.
However, at this very moment, the expression on Liu Qianze's face froze instantly.
Because Chen Fan had written the number nine hundred and ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand yuan on the check! After writing it, Chen Fan even grumbled, "What kind of broken check is this? Why is the maximum only in hundreds of millions? Dr. Liu, if you don't have money, don't pretend. Bring a few more, one isn't enough."
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Liu Qianze's face turned green with anger.
Just one yuan short of ten billion, and it wasn't enough? Chen Fan was clearly toying with him!
"Dr. Liu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give me the checks. Didn't you say I just need to fill in the amount I want?" Chen Fan asked Liu Qianze with a confused look.
"Chen Fan, are you playing me?" Liu Qianze questioned coldly.
Chen Fan nodded and admitted, "That's right, I am."
"If you don't have money, don't pretend. Dr. Qin is priceless in your eyes, and she is equally priceless in my eyes."
Saying this, Chen Fan handed the check back to Liu Qianze.
Liu Qianze took back the check, his icy gaze fixed on Chen Fan as he threatened, "Chen Fan, no one has dared to snatch a woman from me, Liu Qianze, before. Once I become the chief physician, I will fire you immediately."
"I will also use all means to ensure you can never be a doctor."
Chen Fan smiled faintly and replied with four words, "Then I'll be waiting."
"Hmph!" Liu Qianze snorted coldly and turned back to his seat.
What was his background? A doctoral graduate from the world's top medical university, he had participated in several international medical projects. Becoming the head of the surgical department at a mental hospital would be a piece of cake.
Glancing at Chen Fan, who was organizing patient records, Liu Qianze had already decided that he would make Chen Fan lose everything and then beg him on his knees, making Chen Fan understand the consequences of going against him.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Just then, the consultation room door was suddenly knocked. A nurse walked in tremblingly.
She could naturally feel the oppressive atmosphere filled with tension in the surgical consultation room.
"What is it?" Liu Qianze asked the nurse.
The nurse quickly said, "A patient has come to the hospital, saying they need to see a doctor in surgery."
"See a doctor?"
Liu Qianze thought to himself, this was his chance to shine. His medical skills were considered top-notch in a small city like Jiangcheng.
A proud expression then appeared on his face. He glanced at Chen Fan and said, "The news of this patient is really well-informed. On my first day at the hospital, they already know to come see me. Bring them in."
The nurse standing beside him immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
"What's wrong? Do I have to go out and see the patient myself?" Liu Qianze asked the nurse with displeasure.
The nurse quickly explained, "Dr. Liu, the patient is not here to see you. They are here to see Dr. Chen."
"To see me? Is it a mother and daughter?" Chen Fan asked, looking up.
The nurse nodded. "Yes, it's a mother and daughter. They said you asked them to come and see you."
Liu Qianze frowned and sarcastically remarked, "Heh heh, do you need doctors to personally go out and solicit patients at the hospital? This truly opens my eyes."
Chen Fan ignored him and instructed the nurse, "Let them in."
The nurse then left the consultation room.
A moment later, a woman entered the consultation room with a little girl.
These two were the proprietress Cui Jie and her daughter Xiao Ling'er, whom he had met at the roadside stall last night.
"Big brother!" Seeing Chen Fan, Xiao Ling'er ran over excitedly.
Chen Fan reached out and hugged Xiao Ling'er. "Xiao Ling'er, did you listen to Mommy today? Did you take your medicine?"
"Mm, Xiao Ling'er took her medicine, but it's so bitter and tastes awful," Xiao Ling'er said, wrinkling her cute little brows.
"Good medicine tastes bitter, but it cures illness," Chen Fan comforted her.
Xiao Ling'er nodded her little head. "I know. Only by taking medicine can Mommy not be so tired. Xiao Ling'er will be good and not make Mommy so tired."
"Then Xiao Ling'er can help Mommy find a daddy in the future!"
"Xiao Ling'er!" Cui Jie whispered sternly, her face blushing.
Xiao Ling'er stuck out her tongue, looking adorable.
"Madam, hello." However, at this moment, Liu Qianze walked over, a gentlemanly smile on his face.
