Urban Martial Saint

Zhou Hongxia was thrilled once more hearing this. In fact, Yuan Xiaoyu had been reluctant to come over, especially since she was the general manager of many venues under Old Fifth Yang in Jiuchuan County, managing many people and being quite the influential figure there. She was understandably reluctant to leave, having resolved to make something of herself. If not for Old Fifth Yang asking her to come, she would have stayed in Jiuchuan County this time.

After coming here, the thing she couldn’t let go of was work. Naturally, having such a high position in Jiuchuan County and suddenly being asked to leave everything behind and come to Shenchuan City, would she be able to handle it?

Now that Ye Qing mentioned this, it naturally made Zhou Hongxia very excited. This way, Yuan Xiaoyu also had a job in Shenchuan City, and it was even to take over the position of Lin Mengjie. With Lin Mengjie’s status, the work she had in Jiuchuan County couldn’t be simple, and letting Yuan Xiaoyu take over meant her new position wouldn’t be low either.

”This... this...” Zhou Hongxia was so excited she couldn’t speak. Just then, Yuan Xiaoyu walked over from behind. She grabbed Yuan Xiaoyu and said, ”Xiao Yu, quickly, thank your brother. He found you a new job in Shenchuan City.”

”Oh.” Yuan Xiaoyu replied weakly, still feeling gloomy inside. No job could interest her now. Could any job in Shenchuan City compare to what she had in Jiuchuan County?

”Xiao Yu, what’s with you?” Zhou Hongxia tapped Yuan Xiaoyu on the arm, saying, ”Quickly thank your brother, you’ll be taking over Manager Lin’s position!”

”Manager Lin?” Yuan Xiaoyu hesitated for a second, finally regaining some composure. She understood, the work Lin Mengjie had, the position surely wouldn’t be low, right?

Yuan Xiaoyu looked at Ye Qing, feeling a glimmer of hope. She whispered, ”Brother, in which area did Manager Lin work here? When I was in Jiuchuan County, I did what Manager Lin used to do, managing nightlife venues, and I am very experienced!”

”Oh.” Ye Qing nodded and replied, ”Experience is good, but Shenchuan City’s a bit different.”

”No problem, brother, even if the business isn’t doing well, I’m confident I can manage it well!” Yuan Xiaoyu said earnestly, still somewhat skeptical whether Ye Qing’s venues weren’t doing well. After all, Ye Qing hadn’t been in Shenchuan City for long; having even a small venue was already something.

”It’s not a business issue, it’s just that there are many venues, and managing them isn’t easy.” Ye Qing replied.

”Many?” Yuan Xiaoyu was stunned, still contemplating how to turn a failing venue into a thriving one. Suddenly, Ye Qing’s words made her pause. Many? What do you mean by many?

”What do you mean by many?” Yuan Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

”Many venues!” Ye Qing scratched his head, thought for a while, and suddenly looked up, asking, ”Old Li, how many venues do we have now?”

Li Lianshan was ahead helping Ye Jun support Ye Changwen. Hearing Ye Qing, he turned and replied, ”Over three hundred, I haven’t counted them exactly.”

With a thud, Yuan Xiaoyu stumbled and hit the adjacent door panel.

Zhou Hongxia hurriedly asked with concern, ”Xiao Yu, what happened? Are you feeling dizzy?”

”No... I’m fine...” Yuan Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand, taking a deep breath, her voice still trembling, ”Brother, more than… three hundred venues?”

”Probably, I haven’t counted exactly. Anyway, most of Shenchuan City’s nightlife venues are under our name.” Ye Qing replied, and it wasn’t a lie.

Originally, after Li Lianshan became the underground emperor of Shenchuan City, most venues were in their hands. Later, when the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance entered Shenchuan City, they reorganized other people’s venues and handed them over to Ye Qing and Li Lianshan to manage. According to the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, this was to thoroughly cleanse local forces in Shenchuan City, leaving only Li Lianshan’s group to facilitate their work. So almost all of Shenchuan City’s venues were in Ye Qing and Li Lianshan’s hands. Counting over three hundred venues was probably conservative according to Li Lianshan, not even including smaller ones. Given how large and prosperous Shenchuan City was, even Li Lianshan hadn’t figured out exactly how many venues there were. Hence, after Lin Mengjie left, managing the venues became somewhat chaotic, which was also the main reason Li Lianshan was eager to find someone to take over.

Yuan Xiaoyu felt dizzy again, considering she managed five or six venues under Old Fifth Yang in Jiuchuan County, and was already a formidable figure there. Now coming to Shenchuan City, more than three hundred venues, where even the smallest was larger than Li Lianshan’s. Managing over three hundred such large venues, what kind of status was that?

”Brother, you… you really want me to manage them?” Yuan Xiaoyu’s voice was still trembling, but this time out of excitement.

”Of course we have to find one of our own for this kind of matter.” Ye Qing said, ”There are many venues, managing them isn’t easy. It was previously managed by Manager Lin. If you encounter any problems, you can ask Manager Lin for advice.”

Yuan Xiaoyu nodded continuously, too excited to find words to speak for a moment. After holding back for a while, she finally spoke in a trembling voice, ”Brother, rest assured, I’ll definitely manage the venues well, and not let you down!”

Ye Qing smiled and didn’t say anything more. The reason he gave Yuan Xiaoyu this job was, first of all, Yuan Xiaoyu was his sister after all, and secondly, the work here really needed someone to do it. Thirdly, with Yuan Xiaoyu having a job, she would stay in Shenchuan City, and her mother would definitely stay in Shenchuan City too, so she could take care of his father Ye Changwen.

All in all, Ye Qing did so much, ultimately for his father. After all, he is the true family!

Leading the people behind him into the inner room, arrangements had also been made for the welcome dinner. However, before dinner, the most critical matter was Old Fifth Yang’s illness. From the moment they entered the house, Lin Mengjie had approached Ye Qing and asked several times.

Ye Qing didn’t delay, seeing the look on Old Fifth Yang’s face, he knew he was in a lot of discomfort. So, Ye Qing directly sent someone to invite Bai Li Xi over to have him check on Old Fifth Yang’s condition.

From the moment they entered the house, those medical staff were all overwhelmed by the luxury of the estate. Initially planning to watch a joke, their urge subsided a bit. Regardless of whether cancer could be cured, they all understood clearly that these people before them were individuals of such wealth they couldn’t even fathom.

However, hearing Ye Qing say he was getting someone to help treat Old Fifth Yang, they regained their interest. After all, they were doctors and knew cancer was incurable. So, they all wanted to see how Ye Qing dared to boast such claims?

Not long after, Bai Li Xi was invited over. Lin Mengjie hadn’t met Bai Li Xi before, so she naturally didn’t know that the shriveled and wretched old man in front of her was actually a Divine Doctor. But since Ye Qing said he could cure Old Fifth Yang, Lin Mengjie believed it and didn’t doubt Ye Qing’s words at all.

”Mr. Bai Li, this is the friend I mentioned, do you think his illness can be treated now?” Ye Qing introduced Old Fifth Yang to Bai Li Xi.

”Come on, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, I’ve already said, this is basically a minor illness, why are you so anxious!” Bai Li Xi said.

”A minor illness?” Old Fifth Yang was taken aback, looked at the medical staff beside him, and said, ”Sir, I... I have cancer, late stage, they diagnosed me!”

Seeing that Old Fifth Yang suspected him, the medical staff were also a bit irritated. A leading middle-aged man immediately said, ”This was determined by our scientific diagnosis, it is indeed late-stage cancer, and it is concurrent cancer of the throat, stomach, and liver, even surgery cannot be done. If the old gentleman doubts our diagnosis, he can take Boss Yang to the Capital hospital for examination, or send him abroad for further diagnosis!”

Bai Li Xi glanced at them and said, ”I never said he wasn’t cancerous, why are you in such a rush?”

”Then you still call it a minor illness!” The middle-aged doctor said sternly, ”Old gentleman, if even cancer is a minor illness, then what do you consider a major illness?”

”When a person dies, that’s a major illness!” Bai Li Xi said.

The middle-aged doctor was taken aback, then said, ”The old gentleman sure has a sense of humor, if a person dies, can that still be considered an illness?”

The middle-aged doctor didn’t know that, in Bai Li Xi’s view, when a person died, it indeed counted as a major illness. However, this major illness wasn’t uncurable. Just like Liu Mubai’s heart shattered before, almost dying, yet Bai Li Xi saved him alive. As for those not dead yet, in Bai Li Xi’s view, they were all minor illnesses.

”Oh, I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you.” Bai Li Xi waved his hand, walked over to Old Fifth Yang, and said, ”Come, extend your hand, let me take your pulse!”

Old Fifth Yang glanced at Ye Qing, a bit skeptical about Bai Li Xi himself. Because he knew clearly, cancer was not a minor illness. Could Bai Li Xi be a fraud? Could Ye Qing have been deceived by him?

”Fifth Brother, Mr. Bai Li’s medical skills are excellent, he will definitely cure your illness!” Ye Qing said softly, comforting Old Fifth Yang, letting him not worry.

Hearing Ye Qing say this, Old Fifth Yang did not say anything further and extended his hand for Bai Li Xi to check his pulse.

A few medical staff were intensely staring at Bai Li Xi, and the middle-aged doctor slightly squinted his eyes, wanting to see Bai Li Xi embarrass himself when he failed to treat Old Fifth Yang.

Bai Li Xi took the pulse for a while, then turned to look at Old Fifth Yang and said, ”No need for a worried face anymore, it’s a small matter, three packs of medicine will do!”

”What?” Old Fifth Yang’s eyes widened, or rather, everyone in the room had their eyes widened, especially the medical staff.

Cancer, cured with three packs of medicine? What kind of international joke is this!
