Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1373: Chapter 1372: No One is Worthy of His Pleasantry!

”What membership card?”

The three of them were completely bewildered, needing a membership card to enter a shopping mall?

They had visited so many malls, but this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Seeing this, the security guards showed impatience on their faces.

One of them even said disdainfully, ”You don’t even know about the membership card rule to enter our Forbidden City Mall, where did you get the courage to come here?”

Chu Yunxiu hastily inquired about the specifics.

The security guard was very impatient and couldn’t be bothered to explain to her, simply telling her to move away and not block the entrance where other customers were coming through.

At this moment, a wealthy lady who had just come out from the inside kindly explained to them:

”You must be outsiders or maybe middle-class locals?”

”If you were local tycoons, you would certainly know the rules of the Forbidden City Mall. This mall is exclusively designed for the upper circle and wealthy ladies, adopting a membership system.”

”The things sold inside are all ultra-luxury products. Be it clothes, watches, electronic products, they are all international big brands. Rolex and LV are just average here.”

”As for the restaurants, they are also of ultra-luxury standard, with chefs who are international five-star chefs. The Sky Garden Restaurant at the top of the mall is the top among ultra-luxury restaurants. The chef team consists of sixteen famous chefs from different countries, capable of making all the flavors from around the world you’d want to try. Western cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Italian cuisine, Chinese cuisine... as long as you can think of it, the Sky Restaurant here can make it for you... However, I’ve never been to that restaurant, as my membership level is too low.”

Listening to this wealthy lady’s words, Chu Yunxiu’s eyes burned with desire.

This was the place she was meant to be!

Eating at such a place, celebrating her birthday this year — that would truly reflect that she, Chu Yunxiu, had really become part of the Capital City’s upper class.

If she could have a meal in the Forbidden City Mall’s Sky Garden, take a photo, post it on Moments, and couple it with a caption, wouldn’t that make all those ’friends’ in her Jianghai circle insanely envious?

On returning to Jianghai, wouldn’t they treat her like someone above others, vying for her favor?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became!

She immediately said, ”We also want to apply for this membership!”

However, the wealthy lady shrugged and said, ”It’s not that simple to apply for a membership.”

”Oh? Does it cost a lot of money? My daughter and her boyfriend have quite a bit.”

She knew Lin Dong had a lot of money, able to casually come up with a few billion!

The wealthy lady shook her head, ”It’s not just about having money, for specifics, you should ask the staff.”

Without saying much more, the wealthy lady, also pressed for time, hurried off.

After she was gone, Chu Yunxiu said to the group of security guards, ”I want to apply for your membership here.”

The security guard glanced at her disdainfully and said, ”To apply for our membership here, you need a proof of funds worth 50 million. In addition, you need a recommendation from one of our Platinum Members or higher.”

”Ah? It’s that troublesome?” Qiao Bing was also frowning.

Though they could provide the proof of 50 million funds, where would she find a member above Platinum level to recommend them?

She didn’t know anyone.

So, she tried to persuade, ”Mom, let’s go somewhere else. Getting a membership here is such a hassle.”

”No, that won’t do, I have to be here.” The more inaccessible it seemed, the more Chu Yunxiu wanted to celebrate her birthday and have her meal here.

To her, it symbolized status.

It had been her dream to join the upper class in the Capital City, and this was the first step towards entering that upper circle.

Qiao Bing felt helpless as well since it was her mother’s birthday.

With her mother insisting on going inside, Qiao Bing had to indulge her.

But Qiao Bing herself had no way to apply for the membership either.

The proof of fifty million in funds, she can indeed take it out, but how is she supposed to find whatever platinum membership?

At the moment, Chu Yun Xiu suddenly pointed at Lin Dong and said to the group of security guards, ”Hey, do you know who he is?”

”He is the top Chinese medicine practitioner in Dragon Country, the Leader of the Southern faction.”

”Did you watch the news before? It’s him. He won against Eastern Medicine and upheld the reputation of our Dragon Country’s Chinese Medicine.”

”Also, he retrieved our Dragon Country’s National Treasure Acupuncture Bronze Figure from Paocai Nation.”

”Just for these two reasons, doesn’t he deserve to have a membership here?”

”What?” Hearing this, the security guards looked at each other in astonishment.

One of them actually recognized Lin Dong.

”It really is him. The competition between Chinese Medicine and Eastern Medicine was a big sensation, I also watched that live broadcast at the time. It’s really him!”

”So it’s the Leader of the Southern faction, Chief Lin.”

”...”

After the security guards recognized Lin Dong, their attitude towards him changed dramatically.

Seeing this, Chu Yun Xiu couldn’t help but secretly said to herself, ”This Lin Dong’s identity is really something! It’s actually useful.”

She said loudly, ”Okay, now that you know his identity, then can we get the membership and enter inside?”

However, as soon as she said this, the security guards still looked somewhat troubled and said,

”This... this we need to ask our manager about.”

This kind of thing was naturally not something they could decide on their own.

Although they admired Lin Dong, the Leader of the Southern Chinese Medicine faction, for upholding the honor of their Chinese Medicine and retrieving their Dragon Country’s National Treasure Acupuncture Bronze Figure from Paocai Nation—equivalent to a national hero.

They held great admiration for heroes.

However, as much as they admired him, the rules of the Forbidden City Mall were not to be easily broken or decided by them.

They had no right to let them enter, nor the right to allow them to apply for a membership card.

They quickly went inside the shopping mall to consult their superiors.

Chu Yun Xiu, Lin Dong, and Qiao Bing then waited at the door.

While waiting, Chu Yun Xiu said to Lin Dong, ”I didn’t see it coming, your Divine Doctor identity is quite useful, actually having clout even in such a high-class place in the Capital City.”

This was probably the first time she praised Lin Dong like this.

Lin Dong smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.

Seeing that Lin Dong didn’t talk much, Chu Yun Xiu snorted and secretly thought,

”You’re just relying on your medical skills. Otherwise, with the way you can’t handle conversations, what could you possibly achieve?”

”The truly impressive people are very good talkers. Knowing how to speak is how you make big things happen!”

The things she thought in her heart, of course, Lin Dong didn’t know. If he did, Lin Dong would definitely tell her.

He, Lin Dong, didn’t need to be a smooth talker because in this world, he didn’t need to ingratiate himself with anyone. It was always the other way around!

Of course, it wasn’t that Lin Dong didn’t know how to speak. On the contrary, he understood the art of conversation very well. He simply disdained to use it!

Because no one was worth his effort to please!

A few minutes passed, and the security guards brought out a woman dressed in OL attire, looking enchanting, heavily made up, and lightly perfumed.

Seeing this female employee, Qiao Bing was stunned for a long while before finally saying,

”Wang Wenwen, it’s actually you?”
