Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: What to Do with a Net Worth of 1 Billion?

After the awards ceremony, it wasn’t until very late that the journalists finally left.

As for Director Li of the Medical Inspection, before leaving, he said to Lin Dong:

”Doctor Lin Dong, in light of your excellent performance, the Provincial Medical Inspection has decided to bestow upon you the honor of ’Top Ten Outstanding Young Doctors in the Province.’ You just need to submit a bareheaded photo to us!”

”It will be announced on the Jiangnan Province News Channel in about three days.”

”Oh, okay,” responded Lin Dong, who had not expected that saving someone would actually reap him so much fame, fortune, and money.

The other doctors nearby, witnessing this scene, were filled with envy.

Had they known that this rescue mission would bring so many benefits, they would have taken on even greater risks to snag the opportunity.

After Director Li and everyone else had left, only Lin Dong and Bai Jue remained in the sickroom.

Bai Jue rested her chin in her hands, her eyes dreamily fixed on Lin Dong.

This young man managed to surprise her again and again.

In Jianghai, he rescued her from a desperate situation, giving her a beautiful future to dream about.

He also had his own house in Jianghai, a job as a doctor, and even big shots like Sister Hong would listen to his orders.

Even after leaving Jianghai for the provincial city, he had the guts to fight someone as influential as the Southern Capital’s Four Young Masters.

Now he had become a heroic doctor, truly radiating with brilliance from head to toe.

”Sister Bai Jue, what are you looking at?”

”I’m looking at my man,” Bai Jue said with a beaming smile, then leaned into Lin Dong’s ear, ”Dongzi, tonight my room’s door will be reserved for you...”

Lin Dong felt a ticklish sensation in his heart but could only shake his head.

”Sister Bai Jue, let’s wait a bit longer.” Lin Dong was just one breakthrough away from reaching the fourth level of the Nine Shifts Longevity Scripture, so he couldn’t afford to break his celibacy just yet.

Bai Jue leaned into his ear and whispered suggestively, ”Come over tonight, we can do like before, and not take the final step, okay?”

Lin Dong then nodded his head.

At that moment, a piece of news suddenly aired on the TV.

”Recently, a farmer in our province discovered a centuries-old burdock in the deep mountains, with exceptional medicinal value. It was purchased by entrepreneur Chen Mingkai of our province for ten million...”

Upon seeing this information, Lin Dong’s eyes sparkled.

Centuries-old burdock was also listed among the heavenly and earthly treasures.

Although its medicinal effect was slightly inferior to the century-old fleeceflower root he had found before, it should be able to help him unlock the last meridian.

”Chen Mingkai...” Lin Dong memorized this name, planning to find him and see if he could buy the centuries-old burdock from his grasp!

”Doo doo doo~~~” Just as Lin Dong was lost in thought, the phone beside Sister Bai Jue began to ring.

”Hello, Na Na? Yes, I’m actually in the provincial city. What’s up? A class reunion?”

”In three days? Oh, okay...”

After Bai Jue answered the call and hung up, Lin Dong curiously asked, ”What’s wrong, Sister Bai Jue? Who was that on the phone?”

”My university class monitor. They’re organizing a class reunion in three days. They asked if I’m in the provincial city and if I’m going.”

”I see,” Lin Dong nodded. He had previously heard Sister Bai Jue mention that she studied nursing at a medical school in the provincial city.

So she had many classmates there!

”Dongzi, can you accompany me?” Bai Jue pulled Lin Dong’s hand, pleading.

”Is it okay to bring family members?” Lin Dong inquired.

”Of course, many of them will bring their husbands along,” Bai Jue nodded.

”Then alright, I’ll accompany you when the time comes and get to know your classmates.”

”Mm, Dongzi, you’re so kind. Here’s a reward for you—a kiss.”

With that, she kissed Lin Dong on the cheek.

...

Three days later, it was the day of Sister Bai Jue’s class reunion.

Over the past few days, Lin Dong had also found out who this Chen Mingkai was.

It turns out he was the owner of the Southern Capital’s Grand Hotel!

The class reunion that Lin Dong and Bai Jue were attending was scheduled to take place at the Southern Capital’s Grand Hotel.

What a coincidence.

Lin Dong thought that after attending Sister Bai Jue’s class reunion, he would go and meet with Chairman Chen Mingkai to see if they could negotiate the purchase of the centuries-old burdock.

He had even specifically converted the one billion check from Bai Xiaolou at the bank yesterday!

However, due to the large sum, the bank said the funds would only be available today!

For safety, Lin Dong made another call to Li Qingcheng, asking him to transfer fifteen million into his account!

If he could purchase the centuries-old burdock to unlock the final meridian and break through to the third level of the Nine Shifts Longevity, he would consider it a bargain even at double the price. After all, money was now just a number to him!

He was currently a tycoon worth over a billion.

The two quickly took a cab and arrived at the door of the Southern Capital’s Grand Hotel!

They entered the hotel and found private room 1407.

This was where Sister Bai Jue’s class was having their reunion.

Upon opening the door, they saw that the private room was set with five to six tables, abuzz with chatter.

Lin Dong thought to himself that it really lived up to the reputation of a nursing class—so many female classmates, and most of them were quite attractive!

After Bai Jue and Lin Dong walked in, Bai Jue greeted her classmates.

”Classmates, it’s been so long since we last met!”

However, nobody paid any attention to her; she was completely ignored.

Bai Jue felt a bit awkward, so she stopped talking and, pulling Lin Dong by the hand, prepared to find a place to sit down nearby.

However, just as they were about to sit down, a garishly dressed woman sneered:

”This isn’t somewhere you can sit. This is a table for those whose husbands are worth over a million!”

Lin Dong and Bai Jue then noticed that each table had a card placed on it.

The cards were marked as follows:

”Table for those without a partner.

”Table for those with a partner, but the partner’s net worth is not more than 100,000.”

”Table for those with a partner who owns a house and a car.”

”Table for those with a partner, and the partner is worth a million.”

”Table for those with a partner whose net worth is ten million.”

After reading these, Lin Dong was exasperated.

A class reunion that judges the worth of a partner?

Divided into hierarchies?

What nonsense.

At this moment, looking at the people sitting at the table in front of him, he humphed and asked:

”So which table is for someone with a house and a net worth over a billion?”

Swish, swish, swish!

As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone in the room turned towards Lin Dong...
