Xue Meiqin was very displeased with Long Xiao calling her "Nurse Beauty." She glared at him and said, "My name is Xue Meiqin. You can call me Sister Xue or just my name from now on, but absolutely not 'Nurse Beauty.'"
Long Xiao smiled and replied, "You're here to be a nurse for me. If I don't call you Nurse Beauty, what else should I call you, Nurse Xue?"
Xue Meiqin's face was flushed with anger. "Speak properly. From now on, call me Nurse Miss, and no other names."
Long Xiao said unhappily, "Are you here to work for me, or to annoy me?"
"Not happy? Kick me out then. Just don't blame me for leaving on my own accord."
"Master, did you invite a nurse, or did you invite a temperamental young lady?" Ming Yue whispered.
Xue Meiqin had excellent hearing. She smiled at Ming Yue and said, "You're absolutely right. If you don't want me, then kick me out."
Seeing Xue Meiqin's aggressive stance, Long Xiao didn't fall for it. He smiled and said, "Alright, Ming Yue, get a chair for Nurse Miss. Let's welcome our guests together."
After Xue Meiqin sat down, she looked at Bao Tie and the others and said, "Long Xiao, I don't think you should wait any longer. The alley is blocked by the Wu Alliance and the Bao family. Very few people can get in."
As soon as Xue Meiqin finished speaking, another BMW drove into the alley.
First out of the car was a man dressed as a butler, followed by a curvaceous beauty helping an elder.
The beauty supported the elder as they walked forward. The butler-like man looked at Long Xiao and the others and announced loudly, "Mr. Luo Meng, Chairman of Tianluo Group, arrives with a congratulatory gift of one hundred million yuan to celebrate the opening of Xinglin Traditional Medicine Hall."
Bao Tie and Bao Tong, who had intended to get angry, held back. Forget the elder, even this hot-looking beauty was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Seeing Lu Ying and Luo Meng, Long Xiao hurriedly got up to greet them.
He was familiar with Lu Ying. Although he hadn't met Luo Meng, seeing Lu Ying supporting him, he knew this Luo Meng must be Lu Ying's grandfather.
"Elder Luo's visit brings glory to our humble establishment. Thank you, thank you for Elder Luo's congratulatory gift," Long Xiao said, cupping his fists and stepping forward to express his gratitude.
Mi Tianfu and Xue Meiqin also got up and followed. Seeing Lu Ying appear, they knew this elder was Luo Caishen, the richest man in Donghai.
Luo Caishen rarely appeared in public anymore. They hadn't expected him to show up today.
Bao Tie and Bao Tong felt their faces burn. They had made such a big fuss blocking the alley, only to find that no one they couldn't stop was being kept out.
After escorting Luo Caishen and his granddaughter into Xinglin Traditional Medicine Hall, Long Xiao had just stepped out when he saw car after car entering the alley.
"Chairman Ji Dahai of Tianhai arrives with a congratulatory gift of two hundred million yuan and a jade Buddha..."
"Donghai's Miracle Doctor Li Yizhen arrives with a cartload of medicinal herbs to congratulate."
"Director Sun Tailai of the Fifth Hospital arrives with a gift of one million yuan..."
"Director Lu of the Pharmaceutical Administration arrives with a gift..."
"Director Lu of the Donghai Police Department arrives with a gift..."
The announcements of gifts continued without end. Luxury cars drove into the small alley, quickly filling both sides and leaving only a narrow passage in the middle. Even Bao Tie's wheelchair was parked next to a car.
"Brother, let's go," Bao Tie said in a low voice, sweating profusely.
Most of the people offering congratulations were individuals the brothers couldn't afford to offend, and those they could offend, they dared not.
Just as the two were about to get into their car, they heard the announcer say, "Zheng Dongyang, Leader of the Donghai Wu Alliance, arrives with a congratulatory gift of fifty million yuan."
Upon hearing Zheng Dongyang's name, everyone turned towards the alley entrance.
A Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the alley, flanked by two teams of Wu Alliance disciples running alongside. These were the same people who had been blocking the alley moments ago, and now they were obediently running alongside the car.
The Rolls-Royce stopped, and Zheng Yueling stepped out, her gaze icy as she looked at Bao Tong and Bao Tie.
Both of them involuntarily shivered. They had already experienced this formidable young lady's temper.
Although the Bao family was very powerful, their strength lay primarily in their financial resources. In terms of martial power, the Bao family was miles apart from the Wu Alliance.
Soon, a wheelchair was brought out from the trunk. Zheng Dongyang stepped out and sat in it.
Hearing the name Zheng Dongyang, Long Xiao felt very surprised. He didn't know anyone by that name.
When he saw Zheng Dongyang get out of the car, he suddenly remembered. He had met this man once in a small park. That was when he had secretly learned his family's 'Zheng Family Fist.'
Long Xiao hadn't expected that the person he met by chance in a small park was actually the leader of the Donghai Wu Alliance.
"Mr. Zheng, welcome, welcome," Long Xiao said, stepping forward quickly.
Zheng Dongyang looked at Long Xiao with a beaming smile. "Well done, Long Xiao. I never realized you were the renowned divine doctor of Donghai."
Long Xiao felt a little embarrassed by Zheng Dongyang's words. "Mr. Zheng, please come in. After the meal, I'll take a look at you. Perhaps I can help you stand up."
"You're not boasting, are you?" Zheng Yueling said to Long Xiao.
Long Xiao chuckled. "Of course not. I noticed that day that your grandfather's paralysis was due to an error in his cultivation, causing blocked meridians. This is not difficult to treat."
"It would be wonderful if I could stand up. I've been sitting in this wheelchair for four years. I'm truly tired of it," Zheng Dongyang sighed.
With Zheng Dongyang's appearance, Bao Tie reluctantly had someone push a wheelchair over.
"Bao Tie pays his respects to Master."
Zheng Dongyang looked at Bao Tie and asked, "Bao Tie, are you also here to offer congratulations to Divine Doctor Long?"
Bao Tie didn't dare to say no. He replied, "Yes, I heard Divine Doctor Long was opening and rushed over immediately."
Zheng Yueling glared at Bao Tie. "What congratulatory gift are you offering? I didn't see any."
Bao Tie quickly took out a bank card from his pocket. "This is ten million yuan, my congratulatory gift to Divine Doctor Long. The password is six eights. Please accept it, Divine Doctor Long."
Long Xiao looked at Bao Tie's reluctant expression and stifled a laugh as he took the bank card. "Then thank you, Young Master Bao. I've booked a banquet at the Donghai Grand Hotel. You are both welcome to attend."
Bao Tie nodded. "Okay, okay, we'll definitely go, definitely go."
Zheng Yueling pushed Zheng Dongyang into Xinglin Traditional Medicine Hall. Bao Tong watched their retreating backs and said, "Brother, we're not here to cause trouble, why are you giving him a gift?"
Bao Tie sighed helplessly. "Can we get past this without paying? Let's go quickly. No need to stay here and embarrass ourselves."
Just as Bao Tong was pushing Bao Tie towards the car, Ming Yue ran over. "Young Master Bao, this is a bone-setting pill from my master. Take one every day, and you'll be able to walk freely in ten days."
There were ten pills in total, about the size of soybeans, with a medicinal fragrance.
Bao Tie hesitated for a moment, then took the pills and said, "Please thank your master for me."
Bao Tie's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He didn't understand why Long Xiao was treating him this way, nor did he know how he should treat Long Xiao in the future – with revenge or with gratitude.
As more and more guests arrived, Xinglin Traditional Medicine Hall became lively. Since Long Xiao didn't have much staff, he had to ask people brought by Brother Hu from the West City to help entertain the guests.
Luan Jiping was the last to arrive. Upon her arrival, she took on the demeanor of the hostess and helped Long Xiao entertain the guests.
Although many patients had come in the morning, Xinglin Traditional Medicine Hall did not see them. They were only given numbers for their appointments.
