Free Web NovelChapter 583: Chapter 266: Successful Advancement, Doctor Xu’s Past (Part 3)
The difficulty is indeed quite high.
At this moment, that Professor Wei Xianxian, who has a small braid, also ’coincidentally’ finished treating a patient and walked out with a relaxed expression.
While Li Jingsheng was operating just now, this person had been watching him closely.
In the complex environment of the Old Street of South City, Li Jingsheng managed to survive successfully, demonstrating some capabilities.
Li Jingsheng had already sensed this person’s secret observation.
He just pretended not to notice.
When it comes to slyness, Li Jingsheng might not be as cunning as Boss Zhao and Xiaogao, but compared to Professor Wei Xianxian, he should be much more astute.
The two of them walked out together, and Li Jingsheng lagged slightly behind Wei Xianxian.
Wei Xianxian’s handkerchief fell out.
He thought Li Jingsheng would help him pick it up, but Li Jingsheng ignored it and walked past.
Wei Xianxian had to turn back himself to pick it up, shaking off possible dust.
"Are you Xu Jiacheng’s apprentice?"
Professor Wei Xianxian took a couple of steps forward and spoke actively.
"May I ask who you are? Is there something you need?"
Li Jingsheng’s tone carried a distance beyond politeness.
No matter what the relationship this person has with Doctor Xu, from the hostile look Doctor Xu gave him, it’s clear he’s an enemy, not a friend.
Li Jingsheng was extremely good to patients, really treating them like family.
But when it came to enemies, he was never ambiguous.
If he can stomp them to death, he won’t leave them with a breath.
The Sunshine 2 Clinic stirred trouble for him, and they died miserably, needless to say.
The landlady suffered a massive hemorrhage, more terrible than a miscarriage.
Losses from rent, losses from selling the place, and even compensated Li Jingsheng with tens of thousands of yuan.
As long as someone was an enemy of Li Jingsheng, and he had the ability to strike, he would never show mercy or restraint.
Wei Xianxian’s face showed a bit of anger; he couldn’t believe Li Jingsheng didn’t recognize him.
At least he should know the relationship between him and Doctor Xu.
"I know Xu Jiacheng, worked with him before. But later, due to some reasons, we separated. Just now, when seeing you perform bone setting on the patient, your technique seemed inherited from Xu Jiacheng. And since you and Xu Jiacheng are both doctors at the second hospital in Lijiang City, I guessed you learned the bone setting techniques from Xu Jiacheng."
Professor Wei Xianxian spoke with a calm, steady tone, with a slightly magnetic voice.
"Oh, that’s how it is, understood!"
Li Jingsheng nodded and walked away.
"How much does Xu Jiacheng pay you monthly? Considering his stinginess, he probably gives you at most two or three thousand a month, right? I noticed your skills are good; are you interested in joining our Jiupeng International Hospital? Less work, more pay, higher status."
Wei Xianxian straightforwardly offered recruitment conditions.
"Sorry, I’m naturally tough-boned, can’t take this fancy job!"
After speaking, Li Jingsheng no longer paid attention to this person and quickly returned to his seat.
Doctor Xu had already come back.
But his expression seemed somewhat displeased.
"What did Wei Xianxian just say to you?"
Doctor Xu casually asked.
"He said he used to work with you!"
Li Jingsheng was initially worried the teacher had a setback in the second round of tryouts, but now it appeared Wei Xianxian chatted with him a bit, leaving Doctor Xu quite angry.
"Anything else?"
"He wanted to poach me."
"He probably made some comments about me; tell me what he said."
Doctor Xu turned out to be concerned about this.
"Well... I’m afraid you’ll get angry if you hear it."
Li Jingsheng knew Doctor Xu’s health had always been poor, truly afraid of agitating him.
"I’ll be angrier if you don’t tell me."
Doctor Xu didn’t even know why he cared so much about this person.
"Wei said you are stingy. From the tone, when you worked together, did you offer him a very low salary?"
Li Jingsheng cautiously spoke.
"Hmph, I’ve long known he fell out with me because of that, like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, unaware of kindness. Let him say whatever he wants."
Doctor Xu began to breathe heavily.
Saying he’s not angry, but inside, he was probably furious.
Li Jingsheng tentatively asked, "Teacher, was he your apprentice before?"
"Yes!"
Doctor Xu unexpectedly didn’t hide it from him anymore.
This matter, Doctor Xu had always kept tightly sealed, never mentioning it.
Only later did Li Jingsheng guess some parts.
"There might be some misunderstanding between you two. If it’s inconvenient for you, I can also relay the message and help clear up the misunderstanding."
Li Jingsheng didn’t understand what exactly Wei Xianxian did to Doctor Xu.
Made Doctor Xu suffer from a chronic illness, always untreatable.
"Wanting to clear up misunderstandings with that morally corrupt scum? If your brain’s overheating, go see a doctor."
Doctor Xu rarely swore.
Usually, even when disciplining Li Jingsheng, he used a more gentle tone.
But now he was fierce, and his tone was icy-cold.
Li Jingsheng ended up feeling awkward and didn’t speak further.
After a moment, Doctor Xu leaned toward him and whispered, "Be cautious and vigilant dealing with this person. Back then, while running a bone-setting clinic abroad, I made quite a bit of money. He became homeless abroad; seeing his plight, I took him in and taught him bone-setting techniques. He had great talent in bone setting, and followed me for more than two years, often complaining about the low pay."
"In my intention was to let him finish learning for three years, refine his skills, then I would fund him to rent a place in another state for him to start independently."
Doctor Xu, besides not being very talkative, genuinely treated people well.
He is extremely considerate towards Li Jingsheng.
Wei Xianxian was dissatisfied with the low salary, which is understandable.
As an apprentice, many are given just basic pay; do you expect a high salary?
"Just when I went out to find a storefront for him, this bastard, taking advantage of my absence, not only used despicable means to seize my clinic and all properties but also attempted to make advances toward my wife. When I rushed back, my wife was covered with injuries, shivering in fear. I confronted this animal and was assaulted as well. Later, I was hospitalized, seriously ill, nearly died.
Afterward, during the lawsuit, I found out he had colluded with a powerful foreigner, a local judge.
I lost the case, almost ended bankrupt, fled back home disgracefully, leaving that heartbreak forever.
The Jiupeng International Hospital should be what he partnered with that judge to open.
I used to wonder how a foreign-owned hospital opened a market so quickly. Only upon seeing him appear in Jiupeng International Hospital’s faction did I realize he was assisting with various supports for that overseas judge.
Such a person, I advise you to stay as far away from him as you can.
More terrifying than a wolf, never know when he’ll devour you without leaving a trace of bone."
Doctor Xu lowered his voice and recounted past heartaches.
Li Jingsheng listened, his gaze gradually turned cold.
Now he finally understood why Doctor Xu would resist accepting apprentices.
Only after feeling bitter cold, facing despair would one be so afraid of taking in students.
Because Doctor Xu feared being hurt again.
He chose to tell Li Jingsheng, worried Li Jingsheng might be too young, easily deceived.
"If those two bastards remained abroad, we perhaps couldn’t do anything to them. Now they’re back, perfect, slowly deal with them."
Li Jingsheng hadn’t done anything for Doctor Xu before.
This time presented an opportunity to repay his mentor’s kindness, he kept it in mind.
Eventually, he would devise a comprehensive plan, ensuring those two bastards end up entirely bankrupt, losing even their underwear.
