Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 268: Chapter 268 This Temptation is Not Small!

However, Elder Xiao was somewhat surprised by his granddaughter’s idea of converting the military hospital into an affiliate hospital, and said, ”What? Haimie, you want to turn Haishan University’s campus hospital into an affiliate hospital?”

Xiao Haimei nodded, glanced at Ye Haochuan, and then continued, ”Grandfather, actually, our campus hospital, in terms of both hardware and software, is top-notch in Haishan. It’s just a bit small in scale and low on medical staff, primarily serving the school’s students and faculty. However, recently, I received a report from the school’s security department saying that many patients are coming seeking medical help because of its reputation.”

”Coming because they heard of its reputation?” Old Master Xiao was momentarily taken aback.

Ye Haochuan also looked at Xiao Haimei, puzzled.

”That’s right. Since Haochuan started treating patients both on and off campus, his reputation has soared. Many patients heard about him through word of mouth, and they came to the school seeking his help. However, they were always turned away by the school’s security, and they left disappointed. I had the security keep track, and during this period, those who came inquiring about Haochuan numbered not three hundred, but at least a hundred...”

Old Master Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

”Actually, Grandfather, these are still ordinary patients from the lower strata of society. In Haishan’s upper society, many government dignitaries, company CEOs, and ladies of high society speak highly of Haochuan’s medical skills...”

Before Xiao Haimei could finish, Old Master Xiao suddenly asked, a bit puzzled, ”How did Young Chap Ye’s reputation spread so quickly?”

”Grandfather, perhaps you’re not aware? Some time ago, when you asked me to arrange for him to stay in the girls’ dormitory in building number seven to treat Mayor Lin’s daughter, Lin Qingxuan, not only did he cure her strange illness, but he also sold a lot of pills at Li Tianwei’s banquet. Each pill was supposedly priced at a million...”

”What? Is that so? One pill for a million?” Old Master Xiao was utterly astonished.

Xiao Haimei looked at Ye Haochuan and said with a laugh, ”That one million was his selling price. From what I understand, one of the girls from Lin Qingxuan’s dormitory, Zhao Bingqian, obtained some pills from him and resold them for ten million each. Eventually, due to their rarity, one pill even sold for sixty million.”

Sixty million for a pill?

Old Master Xiao almost fainted, hurriedly asking what kind of pill was so valuable.

”Body-Strengthening Pill.” This time, it was Ye Haochuan who explained.

”Body-Strengthening Pill?” Old Master Xiao’s gaze fixed on Ye Haochuan, his face brimming with curiosity.

Before he retired from the Martial Arts Path Realm, he was an expert at the Innate Peak level and was very familiar with medicinal pills; however, he racked his brains and couldn’t recall any information about the Body-Strengthening Pill.

”That’s right, the Body-Strengthening Pill.” Seeing his puzzled expression, Ye Haochuan explained softly in his ear, ”Elder Xiao, actually, the main medicinal catalyst for this Body-Strengthening Pill comes from the ’Hellfire’ Body-Strengthening Pill. I added a few herbs and performed a bit of refinement, and that turned it into the Body-Strengthening Pill.”

Afterward, he also described the miraculous effects of the Body-Strengthening Pill.

Finally, Old Master Xiao understood and whispered, ”I see, it’s based on the ’Hellfire’ Body-Strengthening Pill, which has severe side effects. I didn’t expect you had the ability to turn waste into treasure...”

Ye Haochuan silently felt ashamed, realizing his skill came not from himself but from the legacy of Holy Hand.

After pondering for a moment, Old Master Xiao turned to Xiao Haimei and said, ”Your idea isn’t bad, but merely opening a hospital might not easily allow our Xiao Family to rise again.”

Smiling, Xiao Haimei explained, ”Grandfather, naturally, just opening a hospital won’t enable our Xiao Family to rise again, but it can quickly enhance our hospital’s reputation, meanwhile boosting the sales of medicines. For instance...”

As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Haochuan again, worried he might be upset.

However, Ye Haochuan didn’t show any signs of anger, and she continued, ”For instance, medicine like cancer drugs.”

Everyone then realized, she was using Su La’s case as an analogy.

”Excellent idea!” Old Master Xiao fully grasped Xiao Haimei’s reasoning.

Considering the current predicament faced by the Xiao Family, one could say they are beset with internal issues and external threats, making a resurgence quite difficult.

Whether it’s Huaxia’s leading industry, real estate, the booming restaurant and food sector, or other promising industries, as soon as the Xiao family gets involved, they’re bound to face stiff competition from other business rivals, especially the Su Group, making it hard to make a breakthrough.

However, choosing to run a hospital, with Ye Haochuan’s medical skills, it is believed the hospital’s reputation would quickly become well established.

This indeed is a shortcut for the Xiao Family to rise again.

Old Master Xiao actually had a good understanding of Ye Haochuan’s medical skills. Before he retired from the Martial Arts Path Realm, he had a clear grasp of the Medical Practitioners in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.

In the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, there are many with medical skills surpassing Ye Haochuan.

Yet, none as skilled as Ye Haochuan could be as young as him.

At Ye Haochuan’s age, those in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s Medical Practitioners are typically still apprentices.

Thus, the crux of the matter now lies in what Ye Haochuan thinks; if he is unwilling, everything would be in vain.

”Young Chap Ye, what do you think?” Old Master Xiao asked.

Xiao Haimei looked at Ye Haochuan with a face full of expectation, fearing he would refuse.

Ye Haochuan grimaced and said, ”I do support the idea of rebuilding into a hospital, but I am inherently lazy. If hordes of patients start coming every day, I am afraid... Since we’re all insiders here, let me be honest—I won’t be able to spend too much time treating patients every day; I also need time to cultivate... nourish my mind and body.”

Both Old Master Xiao and Fan Qingyin were from the Martial Arts Path Realm, but Xiao Haimei was not, so he spoke with some restraint. He originally intended to say ”cultivate,” but suddenly felt it was inappropriate and changed it to ”nourish my mind and body.”

Xiao Haimei was unsuspecting and hurriedly said, ”Darling, you misunderstood. I just want to leverage your reputation to quickly make a breakthrough. You would only need to step in for some difficult chronic diseases; other minor illnesses could be handled by other experts and doctors.”

At this, she instinctively hugged his arm and cooed pleadingly, ”Darling, now only you can help our Xiao Family rise again. Can you really bear to see our family continue to decline?”

Looking at her charming and seductive appearance, coupled with the soft, warm sensation from her arm, Ye Haochuan could hardly resist her allure and soon relented, ”Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, okay?”

Only then did Xiao Haimei turn displeasure into joy, unabashedly kissing his cheek and sweetly smiling, ”Thank you, honey.”

Old Master Xiao, observing from the side, chuckled heartily, noting how his granddaughter was calling him ’husband’ even though they weren’t married yet.

Fan Qingyin, however, appeared indifferent, leaving one to wonder what was on her mind.

”Is a simple thank you enough?” Ye Haochuan whispered into Xiao Haimei’s ear, his eyes filled with lascivious intent.

Ye Haochuan’s eyes brightened—now that was more like it! He chuckled mischievously, ”That’s more like it.”

Seeing his smug, gloating expression, Xiao Haimei couldn’t help but pinch him secretly.

Ye Haochuan laughed uncontrollably, causing confusion to both Old Master Xiao and Fan Qingyin, but that also deterred Xiao Haimei from pinching him further.

The family continued to discuss further.

However, just barely ten minutes had passed when a servant rushed in to report that a large group of company shareholders were causing a commotion, coming on fiercely.
