Smith, seeing Alice's reaction, asked with some confusion, "What, do you know Doctor Li?"
"He seemed to have just been here, but I drove him away," Alice said.
Smith's face darkened. "You fool, that was a true divine doctor. If he had made a move, Mr. Anthony wouldn't have needed an amputation. Now that you've offended Doctor Li, if he refuses to treat him, Mr. Anthony will be the one to suffer."
"Mr. Smith, what you're saying is a bit too strong. He's just a traditional Chinese doctor. I don't believe that in such a vast country like China, there isn't a Chinese doctor more skilled than him." Alice snorted. With her and Anthony's family background, could they not find a capable divine doctor?
Smith wanted to say more, but in the end, he could only sigh and say nothing further.
Li Se and Xia Bingyun returned to the company. It had been quite some time since he had visited. Now, because of one of his beauty creams, the entire Yunmeng Company was thriving, almost soaring to become the number one in Qingyun City.
Moreover, during this period, many companies wanted to collaborate with Xia Bingyun, so she was extremely busy every day.
"Bingyun, you've lost some weight recently. Let me give you a massage." Li Se had Xia Bingyun sit down and placed his hands on her shoulders, beginning to massage her.
"Mmm..." It was too comfortable, and Xia Bingyun couldn't help but let out a moan. Her voice was extremely alluring, making Li Se, who was behind her, feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Our company is now on the right track, so I plan to hire a makeup artist for the company. I heard there's a doctor who returned from overseas. If you have time, will you accompany me to invite her?" Xia Bingyun said.
"Hiring an employee, and the boss has to go in person?" Li Se asked, confused.
Xia Bingyun smiled. "Many people are trying to snatch this talent, so going in person shows our sincerity."
"Alright," Li Se nodded and didn't say anything more.
After massaging for about ten minutes, Xia Bingyun actually fell asleep. Li Se picked her up and gently placed her on the sofa in the office before tiptoeing out.
As soon as he came out, he received a call from Old Huang.
"Where are you?" Old Huang asked.
"Old Huang, is there a difficult patient?" Li Se asked, puzzled. Usually, Old Huang would call him if there was a very difficult patient at the clinic.
"You'll know when you get to the clinic," Old Huang said urgently.
Li Se drove to the clinic without any hesitation. When he arrived, before he even entered, he heard angry voices from inside.
"Useless, all useless! I said Chinese medicine is garbage, they can't even cure a leg problem. They say your clinic has the title of bringing people back from the dead. I think you should just close down, you garbage Chinese medicine!"
The angry voice was very familiar. Li Se already knew who it was. When he stepped inside, as expected, it was Alice.
Seeing this woman, Li Se's face darkened. He immediately retorted, "Since you think Chinese medicine is garbage, then let Western medicine treat it. Why are you running to our clinic?"
Alice became even more enraged. She turned around and saw Li Se, her face looking extremely unpleasant. Because he had caused her to lose so much face, even though the Medical Association had recommended Li Se, she still wouldn't show him a good face. With a commanding tone, she said, "The president of the Medical Association said your medical skills are good. Quick, treat my husband. If you cure him, I'll give you a five million yuan consultation fee. If you can't cure him, then your Chinese medicine is garbage, and you should close this clinic!"
The faces of several old Chinese medicine practitioners were extremely grim. Alice's words were truly unpleasant. Honestly, with such an attitude, even if they could truly cure Anthony, they might not be willing to take action.
"Why should I treat him?" Li Se said dismissively.
"Why?" Alice walked up to Li Se, looking down at him condescendingly. "Just because we are foreign friends, our status is noble, and you must treat him!"
"Then I'm really sorry, but I just don't want to treat your husband," Li Se said coldly.
"What did you say?" Alice looked surprised. "This is an opportunity for you to curry favor with us, and you don't cherish it? Do you know what you're going to miss out on?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Please leave immediately!" Li Se said sternly.
Alice became furious upon hearing this. "Do you know who you're talking to? How dare you ask us to leave? We won't leave. If you don't cure my husband today, I'll tear down your entire clinic!"
"You can try," Li Se said, his eyes filled with coldness.
That look startled Alice, and she instinctively took a few steps back, but quickly regained her composure, gritting her teeth and saying, "A mere doctor dares to disobey us? Even people from the Medical Association don't dare to speak to us like this. You have quite a lot of nerve!"
"Then you can go back and find the Medical Association to treat you," Li Se said calmly.
"Doctor," Anthony spoke, looking at Li Se. "As long as you cure me, I promise you that from today onwards, I can be your backer, and I can also recommend you to join the American Medical Association. What do you think?"
Perhaps for many doctors, this was a great temptation. At least many doctors were willing to curry favor with this couple, but Li Se was not.
"As I said, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, not a Western medicine practitioner, and I will not join any medical association. Moreover, the president of the Medical Association had already invited me, but I refused."
Li Se paused here and pointed towards the door. "Before I completely lose my temper, please leave. As for your old rotten leg, it's best left to Western medicine for amputation!"
"You know about my condition?" Anthony's expression changed slightly.
Alice angrily said, "How dare you drive me away? I'm going to complain about you, I'm going to report you, I'm going to complain to the embassy. Then your clinic won't be able to open, I tell you!"
"Go ahead, go now," Li Se said indifferently.
Alice was furious. As a foreign friend with a very noble status, every time she came to China, she was respected and fawned over. But she never expected Li Se to speak to her with such an attitude?
"Still not getting out?" Li Se shouted.
"Do you really think coming from abroad makes you noble? You still have to beg Doctor Li?"
"Do you think that's how someone begs? It's as if Doctor Li is begging her to treat him."
"This kind of foreigner should just leave!"
"..."
Many patients at the clinic were angered by the Alice couple, and they all said some very unpleasant things.
"Shit!" Alice yelled at these patients, "All of you shut up! What are you? You garbage, what right do you have to comment on me?"
These patients' faces turned grim. This Alice was simply too arrogant.
"Get out!" Li Se pointed at the door again, having reached his limit.
"Say that again?" Alice said angrily.
Li Se said with a cold face, "If you're here to beg me, then you should have the attitude of someone begging. If you have this attitude, then get out. If you don't leave, I'll have someone kick you out!"
"How dare you?!"
