âJust this bit?â
âItâs not like this is soda, it works in a small cup when itâs needed.â Wang Yao said after he heard the question.
â Alright then, Iâll order it in advance!â Su Zhixing said.
âOkay, but let as few people as possible know about it, you know the rules here.â
âNo problem. Iâm responsible for any accident that might happen!â Su Zhixing said solemnly.
They talked for a while before hanging up.
Thousands of miles away in Jing City, Su Zhixing was still in the hospital.
âHow is it?â Asked a man beside him.
âHe has agreed.â
âAlright, Iâll give you a credit.â The man patted him on the shoulder after hearing that.
âJust buy me a drink when Iâve recovered, and only the two of us should know about it.â
âNo problem.â
Another calm night passed.
Unknowingly, it was already September, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
Wang Ru and Du Mingyang had been busy recently, and they have returned home more frequently as well. They were going to get married soon. This was the most important thing in their family recently. Wang Yao felt that his parents were also very concerned about it.
âMarried out at last!â Zhang Xiuying sighed more than once, one of the siblings was finally going to start a family.
It was Saturday, and Du Mingyang and Wang Ru returned to the village.
âThere are fewer and fewer people in this mountain village.â Wang Ru sighed, all the people chatting around the village streets were elderly people.
âThere are no longer any young people living in the village, they have already bought houses in the city.â Zhang Xiuying said.
âSpeaking of houses, the prices of houses in county towns have risen quite a bit this year. Now the prices in some good places have reached more than $6,000 per square meter.â Wang Ru said.
âSo expensive!?â
âThatâs right. Lianshan is just a small county town. It was a poverty-stricken county town in the country in the past few years. The price of the houses suddenly shot up so much that many people in our unit regretted not buying a few more houses earlier on. They could earn more than 100000 USD if they had bought a house one year earlier and sold it, what quick money!â
Wang Yao sat quietly and listened to their conversation. He had a house of more than 100 square meters in Lianshan County, which was originally for his elder sister. Now that she was getting married. Of course, she would not live there anymore. The house was temporarily idle.
âThe young people working in factories in Lianshan County town only had a salary of about 3,000 -4000 USD a month. Their salary for the month would basically be gone after theyâve paid off their mortgage loan of around $3000. This high house price has destroyed this generation of young people!â Du Mingyang sighed and said.
His situation was slightly better, after all, his family had some accumulated savings, and he had bought his house earlier, and he had bought it using some connections, so he got it cheap. But he was still a minority in Lianshan County town. More people bought their houses with loans, high loans, and many peopleâs monthly wages were not even enough to pay off the mortgage loans.
âThereâs no money in your pocket, so what are you going to spend?â
âLetâs eat and talk.â
Zhang Xiuying had prepared a plentiful lunch.
âOh, how plentiful!â Du Mingyang remarked.
âUncle, shall we have a drink?â
âYes, letâs have a drink.â
After hearing that, Wang Yao went into the room and took out two bottles of wine.
âWhat a great friend you are!â Du Mingyang sighed when he saw the wine.
âVery expensive?â
âOf course, this bottle of wine costs at least $1000!â
âThereâs more in the house if you like it. Take two bottles later.â Wang Yao said, he doesnât drink, these were all brought by his friends for his old man, he didnât know the price either, but it certainly couldnât be inexpensive, just by looking at the packaging and how famous it was, they were all well-known brands of white wine in China.
âSure.â
âOuch!â Du Mingyang suddenly convulsed.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âNo, no, nothing.â
âXiaoru, what are you doing?â
âNothing much?â Wang Ru smiled and said.
âCome, let me fill it up for you.â Du Mingyang rose to pour wine for Wang Fenghua.
âLet me do it. Youâre a guest.â With a smile, Wang Yao took over the bottle and filled his father and brother-in-lawâs glasses.
âUncle, take a shot?â
âCome on.â
The family gathered together, talking and laughing harmoniously and happily.
After having lunch and chatting with his family for a while, Wang Yao went to the doctorâs office again. He didnât post anything on Weibo. In the afternoon, he still had to receive patients. But in the afternoon, there were fewer people. There were only three patients in total. One of them was the wounded soldier named Zeng Yichuan, who was walking by himself with the help of Cheng Haidong and the crutches. When he came inside the room, his face was sweaty with cold sweat. After three days of recovery, the complexion had obviously improved a lot.
âYou have not recovered from this serious illness. You should rest as much as possible.â Wang Yao instructed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWell, I just feel like Iâm almost rusting from lying down all the time, so I want to move around a little.â Zeng Yichuan said.
The two men arrived and waited for the last patient in the Wang Yao Medical Center to leave before they made their purpose of arrival known.
âAntidote?â After listening to their words, Wang Yao laughed, this was the same purpose as Su Zhixing.
âWe will keep it absolutely confidential and you donât have to worry about the price.â Cheng Haidong said.
âItâs not because of that. This kind of antidote itself is not so easy to make, and itâs already reserved.â
âSomebodyâs reserved it? Who?â Cheng Haidong and Zeng Yichuan were stunned after hearing that.
âThis person you know, heâs the one who introduced me to you.â
âSu Zhixing?!â
âYes, itâs him.â Wang Yao said.
âIn terms of both sentimentality and principle, I have to meet his requirements first, so Iâm sorry.â Wang Yao said.
âWell, weâre not thoughtful enough.â Cheng Haidong said.
âSorry for disturbing you then.â
âNo worries. Donât leave in such a hurry. Iâll examine him again.â Wang Yao pointed to Zeng Yichuan and laughed as he said.
âSure.â
âWell, heâs in a pretty good condition.â Wang Yao said after examining him a second time.
âHe can probably leave this pair of crutches in a few days.â
âItâs all thanks to your help this time.â
âYouâre too welcome.â
Hundreds of miles away in Haiqu City, in a restaurant.
âEat slowly.â
Li Fang looked lovingly at his son who was eating in big bites in front of him.
âOk, Dad, the food here is delicious!â Xiao Ming answered with a laugh as he ate with gusto.
âWell, if you like it, shall Dad bring you here often in the future?â
âYes, yes!â The kid clapped his hands happily as he said.
Riiiing... Buzzzz...
The cell phone on the table vibrated.
âIt looks good.â It was a seemingly inexplicable text message, Li Fang looked carefully at it, and then gasped.
After the meal, Li Fang took his son to the beach with him. The boy was very happy. He used to lie in the hospital bed for years. It was difficult for him to just walk around in the room, let alone going out to play. Because his body was too weak.
âAre you happy today?â
âHappy, very happy!â Xiao Ming replied happily.
âDad, can I go to school when Iâm well?â
âYes!â Li Fang said, a few years ago, he had been trying to cure his sonâs illness. They had been to hospitals in the country and abroad. A year ago, he was trying to prolong his sonâs life. Basically, he did not hold much hope for a cure. A few months ago, he was thinking about how to make his sonâs last moments as painless as possible and become happier. Now that his son has escaped the danger of death and was walking towards a healthy life, he had to do what he had to do.
I have to continue living well so that I can live another life with my son.
This was the goal he had set for himself, a goal that he must achieve.
This goal was the same one as Jia Zizaiâs back then, he must break free from this company!
That night, Jia Zizai came to Haiqu City and met Li Fang.
âHave you made your decision?â
âAs you wish.â
âShould I say letâs have a cordial working relationship then?â
âLetâs have a cordial working relationship!â
With the intention to cooperate established, both of them were temporarily on the same side.
âHow is Xiao Mingâs recovery going?â
âHis life is no longer in danger, the Doctor Wang that you have recommended has great medical skills!â Li Fang exclaimed wholeheartedly.
âOf course.â Jia Zizai smiled as he lit a cigarette.
âHe has something else that would shock you as well, but it cannot be exposed to you as of now.â
âWhere exactly is the Boss?â Jia Zizai asked.
