Just then, a luxury car stopped at the villa entrance, and an old man with a cane stepped out.
This old man was none other than Ye Cheng, the patriarch of the Ye family's inner clan.
Ye Mu, Ye Fu, and Ye Xiao Feng rushed to greet him.
After inviting Ye Cheng into the villa hall, Ye Mu and Ye Fu busied themselves, personally serving tea and pouring water.
Ye Cheng's personal visit was a matter of great honor, and Ye Mu's family had never felt so honored before.
"Don't just stand there, hurry and call your sister!" Ye Mu shouted at Ye Xiao Feng.
"Okay!"
Ye Xiao Feng replied and hurried upstairs.
A few minutes later, Ye Xiao Feng walked down from upstairs with a helpless expression.
"Where is your sister?" Ye Mu asked.
"My sister said she doesn't want to see anyone!" Ye Xiao Feng said.
This made Ye Mu very embarrassed.
"Yanran is not feeling well, please forgive us," Ye Mu said apologetically.
Hearing this, Ye Cheng's brow furrowed slightly.
It was clear that Ye Cheng was somewhat displeased.
"It's alright, I'll come another day," Ye Cheng said, getting up to leave.
Ye He quickly followed.
After Ye Cheng and Ye He had left, Ye Mu's brow furrowed.
"Yanran is really something. The patriarch of the inner clan personally came to see her, what an honorable occasion! And she wouldn't even see him."
"Don't worry about Yanran's matters,"
Ye Fu reminded her. "That old man Ye Cheng is someone who never acts without a motive. Don't you remember how many doors were slammed in your face when you went to the Ye family to deliver gifts? Ye Cheng, as the Ye family patriarch, personally coming to see Yanran must mean he needs Yanran's help."
After speaking, Ye Fu continued, "Yanran's current status is a bit awkward. If Ye Cheng were to ask Yanran for a favor, whether Yanran helps or not would be problematic. By not seeing Ye Cheng, she avoids being in a difficult position."
"What you said makes sense!" Ye Mu nodded.
Suddenly, Ye Mu's phone rang.
As soon as she finished one call, another came in.
Ye Mu answered four or five calls in succession.
"Mom, who's calling you?" Ye Xiao Feng asked curiously.
"My maternal family!"
Ye Mu said with great pride. "They haven't called in years, and now they're calling me one after another, saying they'll visit us soon and want to see Yanran and Jiang Yi!"
After speaking, Ye Mu continued, "They used to ignore us completely, and now they're more eager than ever. This is all thanks to me having such a capable son-in-law."
Ye Mu was overjoyed.
"Your maternal relatives are all useless, just snobs," Ye Fu scoffed.
The mention of Ye Mu's maternal family always made Ye Fu unhappy.
A few years ago, when Ye Yanran's company was short of over 300,000 yuan, Ye Fu personally went to Ye Mu's maternal family to borrow money to help Ye Yanran. Not only did he fail to borrow money, but he was also ridiculed.
Over 300,000 yuan was a mere drop in the ocean for Ye Mu's maternal family, but they refused to lend a single cent.
Ye Fu remembered this incident clearly.
"They were indeed a bit much, but you can't entirely blame them!"
Ye Mu said, "Who told you to be so incompetent? If you had some ability, my maternal family wouldn't look down on you and disregard you."
These words made Ye Fu very angry.
"I'm telling the truth. Back then, I was a renowned beauty, and the daughter of a wealthy family. You were just a nobody. All my family members opposed me, but I was determined to marry you!"
Ye Mu took a deep breath. "To marry you, I completely broke ties with my family and haven't been in contact for nearly thirty years."
After speaking, Ye Mu continued, "The reason I agreed to let them visit us this time is to show them that my choice of you was correct."
Hearing this, Ye Fu was no longer as angry.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi drove to the hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital entrance, he saw it was crowded with people.
"I've consulted many highly skilled doctors for my illness, but it hasn't been cured, though I've spent a lot of money. Today, I must see the divine doctor Zhang. I believe only he in the entire Jiang Province can cure my illness."
"You'll have to wait half a year and come back!"
"Why?"
"There are thousands of people waiting to see the divine doctor Zhang. Moreover, I heard that the registration fee alone to see him is a million yuan."
...
The crowd at the entrance was in constant discussion.
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly.
Shen Lu was too greedy. A million yuan registration fee was exorbitant, and ordinary people couldn't afford to see a doctor.
How many people could afford such a registration fee?
Jiang Yi walked through the crowd and entered the hospital.
Everyone had heard of Jiang Yi's name but had never seen his face.
Even when Jiang Yi walked past them, they didn't recognize him.
Jiang Yi didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he had told Shen Lu not to let anyone take photos of him.
Not only at this hospital, but Jiang Yi had also told Dong Rui at Tiansheng Group not to leak his identity. Even though such a major event happened at Tiansheng Group yesterday, the news only mentioned Jiang Yi's name, not his photo.
Jiang Yi's name was famous and known to all, but not many people knew his appearance.
This was why, when Jiang Yi worked at the hospital, neither the hospital staff nor the patients knew that Jiang Yi was the chairman of Tiansheng Group.
Upon reaching his office, Jiang Yi poured himself a cup of tea and began to drink.
"Knock knock..."
There was a knock on the office door from the outside.
"Come in..." Jiang Yi called out.
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door opened.
Li Qing walked in from outside.
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The director asked me to find you and asked you to go to her office, as she has something to discuss with you," Li Qing said.
"Okay!"
Jiang Yi replied, put down his teacup, and walked towards Shen Lu's office.
Li Qing followed.
When Jiang Yi arrived at Shen Lu's office, he found that besides Shen Lu, the vice director and Chen Ping were also present.
"Please, have a seat!"
Shen Lu busied herself greeting Jiang Yi upon his arrival.
Jiang Yi did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly in a chair.
"Master Zhang, when you arrived at the hospital, you must have seen that the outside is full of people waiting to register to see you. As of today, there are over three thousand people who have made appointments to see you," Shen Lu said.
With over three thousand appointments, the hospital could earn a lot of money from registration fees alone.
If Jiang Yi cured these patients, he could earn even more.
"Director Shen, please get straight to the point," Jiang Yi said.
"Then I won't beat around the bush!"
Shen Lu said, "With so many patients, you can't possibly handle them all by yourself. If you're willing, I can select some people from the hospital who have extraordinary talent in medicine, and you can teach them some skills. With their help, you won't have to personally treat each patient one by one; they can help you!"
