Jiang Yi remained silent.
Shen Lu’s intention was for him to take on a disciple.
“Master Zhang, I believe Chen Ping has exceptional talent in medicine, making him a suitable candidate,” the vice director said eagerly.
Chen Ping looked at Jiang Yi with anticipation.
It was common for highly skilled physicians to accept disciples.
However, Jiang Yi was not in the mood to take on a disciple.
Furthermore, Chen Ping’s aptitude was mediocre; he possessed no remarkable talent.
Even if he were to accept a disciple, it wouldn’t be someone like Chen Ping.
Talent had to be one in ten thousand.
This way, teaching would be easy, and it wouldn’t consume too much time, much like Sun Shengshou.
“They won’t be able to learn my skills!”
Jiang Yi stated, “In the future, when I have the time, I will do my best to treat more patients. Starting next month.”
Jiang Yi had a rule: he would only treat three patients per month.
In reality, Jiang Yi could break this rule at any time, but he didn’t want to.
People fell ill every day; if he treated every patient, wouldn’t he be worked to death?
Shen Lu and the vice director felt helpless seeing Jiang Yi refuse, yet they dared not press further.
Chen Ping, on the other hand, was filled with disappointment.
“Even if I don’t treat patients, simply staying at your hospital will greatly enhance its reputation, overshadowing all other hospitals in Jiang City, and simultaneously bring in substantial profits,” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile. “One cannot be too greedy!”
These words made Shen Lu feel somewhat awkward.
Jiang Yi was not wrong!
During his time at the hospital, Jiang Yi had only treated Young Master Ma, yet it had transformed the hospital into a widely recognized institution, with business improving dozens of times over, bringing in substantial income daily.
“Director Shen, are there any other matters?” Jiang Yi asked.
“I want to speak with you alone!”
Shen Lu said, her gaze falling on the vice director and the others. “You all may leave for now!”
“Yes!”
The vice director, Chen Ping, and Li Qing responded and then departed the office.
Once the office door was closed, Shen Lu smiled and asked Jiang Yi, “Have you considered what I discussed with you earlier?”
“What matter?” Jiang Yi feigned ignorance.
“The matter of cooperation!”
Shen Lu said, “Your medical skills are astounding, and I have connections. If we cooperate, we can open a hospital in Lidu City and compete with those major hospitals, becoming the most powerful hospital in Lidu City. As long as you agree, I will concede to any conditions.”
Shen Lu added, “Even I will be your woman from now on.”
To strengthen her power and seek revenge against her Shen family clansmen, Shen Lu had gone all out.
“I’m not interested!” Jiang Yi shrugged.
Shen Lu felt a pang of disappointment.
She had initially thought Jiang Yi would agree.
“Bang…”
The office door was suddenly kicked open.
Following that, a man in a suit walked in from outside.
Upon seeing the man in the suit, Shen Lu’s expression immediately changed, her eyes filled with anger and killing intent.
“Shen Lu, you bastard, you have quite the nerve. I called you this morning, and you dared to hang up on me!”
The man in the suit looked at Shen Lu with disdain.
“Don’t think that just because your hospital has a divine physician, you can disregard me. Let me tell you, if I wanted to kill you, it would be easier than crushing an ant.”
This man in the suit was a member of the Shen family.
“Please speak with some respect!”
Shen Lu suppressed the anger in her heart and said to the Shen family member, “I am currently discussing matters with Divine Physician Zhang. We can talk about other things later!”
The Shen family member ignored Shen Lu and shifted his gaze towards Jiang Yi.
“Are you Divine Physician Zhang San?”
The Shen family member’s eyes fell on Jiang Yi as he sized him up.
Jiang Yi did not acknowledge the Shen family member.
The fellow’s tone was too arrogant; Jiang Yi didn’t want to bother with him.
“I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear me?”
A trace of displeasure appeared on the Shen family member’s face.
“Divine Physician Zhang, I came to Jiang City to find you. I’ve heard of your great name. With your skills, staying in such a small hospital is a waste of your talent. Come with me to Lidu City. Our Shen family will pay you double your salary each month, how about it?”
“I’m not interested!” Jiang Yi replied calmly.
“Hmph!”
The Shen family member snorted coldly. “It’s not that you’re not interested; you’re being seduced by this woman, Shen Lu, and you can’t bear to leave her!”
He then grinned. “When we get to Lidu City, I’ll find you even more beautiful women; I guarantee you’ll like them.”
“I said, I’m not interested!” Jiang Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.
He didn’t want to get involved in Shen Lu’s and the Shen family’s affairs.
“You have no choice this time! Whether you go or not, you must go.”
The Shen family member stated, “The patriarch said you are indeed a person with real talent. If you join our Shen family, you can help our Shen family become the most powerful hospital in Jiang Province.”
Jiang Yi paid no attention to the Shen family member.
“The patriarch also said that no matter what method is used, you must be brought to Lidu City, even if it means tying you up and bringing you there,” the Shen family member chuckled.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
This guy was even more arrogant than Liu Tianyu.
“If I don’t want to do something, no one can force me,” Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
“Kid, don’t be ungrateful. I’ve said so much nice stuff, and you still won’t come with me obediently. It seems I have no choice but to resort to force!” the Shen family member said.
“I advise you not to act rashly, or you will regret it!” Jiang Yi said calmly.
The Shen family member completely disregarded Jiang Yi.
In his view, Jiang Yi’s medical skills were astonishing, but he lacked power and influence. If he dealt with Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
“Guards, take Divine Physician Zhang away!”
The Shen family member shouted towards the door.
As soon as the words fell, a group of men in suits rushed in from outside, one of them holding a rope.
The Shen family member intended to use force and directly abduct Jiang Yi.
“Pa…”
Jiang Yi lifted his leg and kicked the leading man in the suit, sending him to the ground.
Seeing this, the other men in suits dared not approach Jiang Yi, and their gazes turned towards the Shen family member.
“What are you looking at me for? Take action!”
The Shen family member shouted angrily. “It doesn’t matter if he gets injured; my task is to bring him back to Lidu City, as long as he’s not killed!”
Upon hearing this, the men in suits immediately became bolder and rushed forward, pouncing on Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh and acted directly.
In less than a minute, all the men in suits were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Even with so many of them, they didn’t have a chance to get close to Jiang Yi.
“Kid, my patience is limited. Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit,” the Shen family member said angrily.
Jiang Yi walked over directly, grabbed the Shen family member by the collar, dragged him out of the office, and threw him down the stairs.
The Shen family member rolled down like a ball, emitting a pig-slaughtering scream.
Jiang Yi showed no mercy to those who relied on others’ influence.
