"What's going on here?"
The appearance of Boss Yin instantly quieted the scene.
"Boss, this kid is causing trouble here. He hit me just now!" the young man said with a wronged expression upon seeing his boss.
Boss Yin sized up Chen Fan from head to toe, then asked, "Sir, why did you hit someone from our Shenzhi Hall? If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation today, you're not leaving this place."
Hearing Boss Yin's words, a hint of mockery appeared on the young man's face, and he glanced triumphantly at Chen Fan.
"He attacked me first, and I was merely acting in self-defense. Moreover, for someone who judges others by their appearance, hitting him would dirty my hands." Chen Fan said, rubbing his fingers with a look of disgust.
"You!" The young man was so enraged he almost spat blood.
He had been hit, and the other person was acting as if he was dirty?
"Boss Yin, what's happening? Do you need my help?" At this moment, the middle-aged man also walked over and asked Boss Yin.
Boss Yin shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Director Chang. It's nothing major, just a young man causing trouble in my shop and hitting my employee."
"Oh? Someone dares to cause trouble at Shenzhi Hall?" The middle-aged man was somewhat taken aback and then looked at the figure in front of Boss Yin.
However, as soon as the middle-aged man clearly saw the figure, his mouth fell open, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Dr. Chen?!"
Hearing this address, Chen Fan also looked at the middle-aged man. It was none other than Chang Qing, who had taken the prescription yesterday.
"Director Chang, it seems we are quite fated," Chen Fan replied.
This scene left Boss Yin somewhat bewildered. He looked at Chang Qing and asked, "Director Chang, do you know this kid?"
Chang Qing smiled first and said, "It's a case of the Dragon King causing trouble in his own temple. Boss Yin, didn't you just ask me who that young divine doctor was who gave me the prescription? Here he is, right before your eyes!"
Boss Yin's expression stiffened. He looked at Chang Qing in shock. "You mean, this young man is that divine doctor, Dr. Chen?"
Then, Boss Yin looked Chen Fan up and down again, his expression becoming even more incredulous. He hadn't expected Chen Fan to be so young, appearing to be around the same age as his daughter.
"That's right, this is Dr. Chen! He treated both my teacher's illness and mine," Chang Qing nodded in confirmation.
The coldness on Boss Yin's face completely disappeared at this moment. He quickly apologized to Chen Fan, "Divine Doctor Chen, I am truly sorry. I didn't know it was you just now. If there was any inconvenience in the shop, I apologize to you."
The young man, who was standing to the side rubbing his arm, was stunned.
What was going on? Wasn't the boss going to stand up for him? Why was he apologizing to the other person? Did he get beaten by Chen Fan for nothing?
"Boss Yin, you shouldn't say that. I'm just a humble doctor. Even your guard dog wanted to kick me out for not having money. How can I accept your apology?" Chen Fan replied coldly, still somewhat angry.
Boss Yin looked at the young man and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"Boss, he, he just came here to cause trouble," the young man still argued stubbornly.
"Do you want me to pull up the store's surveillance footage? If so, don't blame me for being impolite."
Boss Yin's words made the young man's heart sink, and his expression became nervous. "It, it was just that I was afraid he would offend the customers, so, so I wanted to drive him out. Boss, I was thinking of the store's best interest. After all, his clothes only cost a little over a hundred yuan. How could he afford the medicinal herbs in our shop?"
"Slap!"
The sound of a slap echoed.
Boss Yin raised his hand and slapped the young man directly across the face.
"You snob! We run a pharmacy, not a luxury store! From now on, you are fired. Your salary and bonus for this month will be deducted!" Boss Yin roared.
Upon hearing this, the young man panicked. "Boss, boss, I was just thinking of the store!"
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I was blind before, I was a snob. Please, beg your boss not to fire me!"
The young man, with tears and snot, pleaded with Chen Fan again.
"Beg for you? Do you, a scumbag like you, deserve it?" Chen Fan replied disdainfully.
Boss Yin also reprimanded, "Get lost now! If you dare to anger Divine Doctor Chen again, I won't let you off!"
The young man was so scared by Boss Yin's words that he stumbled backward, not daring to say another word.
"Divine Doctor Chen, my name is Yin Ruiping, the owner of this Shenzhi Hall and a friend of Director Chang. I apologize for what happened just now and promise to rectify this unhealthy atmosphere in the store from now on!" Yin Ruiping apologized to Chen Fan again.
Hearing his words, Chen Fan's anger finally subsided, and he nodded slightly.
"Divine Doctor Chen, are you here to buy medicinal herbs? Shenzhi Hall has the most comprehensive selection of herbs in the entire Jiangcheng," Chang Qing quickly said, changing the subject.
"Just call me Dr. Chen. Here is the list of herbs I need. Please calculate how much one dose will cost," Chen Fan said, taking a prescription from his pocket and handing it to Yin Ruiping.
Yin Ruiping quickly took it, his attitude extremely respectful.
After all, Chen Fan was the savior of Director Chang and Elder Lu, and a genuine divine doctor. Yin Ruiping dared not offend such a person.
Looking at the contents, Yin Ruiping smiled and said, "Dr. Chen, we have all the herbs you need. I'll have someone prepare them for you right away."
"How much?" Chen Fan asked.
Chang Qing quickly said, "Dr. Chen, you haven't accepted my consultation fee from last time. Let this be on my tab."
However, Chen Fan refused, "I don't like others paying for my purchases."
Chen Fan actually didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
Hearing this, Chang Qing had no choice but to give up. Yin Ruiping calculated the cost and gave Chen Fan a discount. "Dr. Chen, your total for this purchase is eighty-seven thousand yuan!"
Hearing the price, Chen Fan was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected these herbs to be so expensive.
But for the muscle-building cream, he had to grit his teeth and bear it. He then said to Yin Ruiping, "Give me three doses, I'll pay by card."
Saying that, Chen Fan took out his bank card from his pocket.
A staff member brought over a POS machine, and Chen Fan swiped his card for 261,000 yuan in front of everyone.
Listening to the machine printing the receipt, the young man standing nearby, with an extremely grim expression and filled with regret, felt as if his face was being severely slapped.
Just now, he had called Chen Fan a penniless bum, saying that his month's worth of herbs was equivalent to Chen Fan's ten years of salary. In the blink of an eye, the other person had bought over 200,000 yuan worth of herbs without batting an eye.
If this wasn't a slap in the face, what was? He wished he could slap himself to death.
However, the young man didn't know that Chen Fan was also feeling the pinch as his bank card balance was halved.
