Chapter 107 See if you can afford it
Sophie's parents both stared at the scene with wide eyes in surprise.
The most surprised person was Doctor He.
In front of this paunchy man, he didn't even have the chance to speak, but the other party took the initiative to greet Li Quan in a flattering manner.
Sophie was pleasantly surprised and even more curious about Li Quan. Being able to attend a provincial medical research conference held in Shanghai as an intern was enough to shock her.
Now I get to know such a great man again.
How many secrets does he still have that he doesn't know about?
No, I must ask clearly later.
Li Quan was busy taking out his wallet. When he heard someone greeting him, he looked up.
"Who are you?"
He felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
After hearing these words, Sophie's father almost fell down and his eyeballs almost popped out.
Such a big man in the medical field took the initiative to greet a poor boy like him. According to common sense, this poor boy should be flattered, right? But he actually rolled his eyes at the other person and couldn't even remember his name.
In just one word, awesome!
Sophie's father secretly guessed Li Quan's true identity.
It seems that this poor boy is quite different from what Doctor said. I'm afraid he has a complicated background.
It was a bit reckless to rudely tell this boy not to have any contact with my daughter.
Sophie's mother was also confused and didn't know where Li Quan came from.
She and her husband looked at each other, both intending to observe first before making the next conclusion.
At this moment, they were not in a hurry to take their daughter away by force.
The pot-bellied man greeted , but he didn't expect that Li Quan didn't remember him. He felt a little embarrassed.
However, he is a successful businessman who has been active in the business world for many years.
I have experienced countless storms.
This little twist didn't even show on his face.
His warm smile remained unchanged and he took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Doctor Li, you forgot. We met at the medical research conference at the Bund Hotel two days ago. My name is Ma Wangcai, and I'm a sponsor of that conference."
After the pot-bellied man introduced it, Li Quan finally remembered.
"Oh, it's Mr. Ma! Hello, hello!"
After Li Quan was no longer so anxious, he finally took out his wallet successfully this time.
He quickly shook hands with Mr. Ma in a friendly manner.
"Doctor Li, our meeting is fate. I wonder if you are free to have a couple of drinks today? I am extremely envious of your amazing medical skills." Mr. Ma made the invitation with a smile.
Given Mr. Ma's identity, it is definitely not as simple as just wanting to talk about medical skills with Li Quan.
At the Medical Association that day, Mr. Ma strongly rebuked Pang Qing and others, which showed that he was a ruthless person. As long as someone violated his interests, he would take action without mercy.
Li Quan neither disliked nor liked Mr. Ma.
Because businessmen see no friendship, only interests.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ma. Let's meet another day. I just finished eating and I can't drink any more." Li Quan smiled and politely declined Mr. Ma's invitation.
"Okay, then next time! I hope Dr. Li will honor me then!" Mr. Ma did not force it. He turned to the cashier and said, "Waiter, Dr. Li's meal will be on my account."
Only then did the cashier realize that the poor young man she looked down upon actually had a prominent background.
She didn't know Li Quan, but she knew Mr. Ma.
Because this person is the God of Wealth in the store.
Every time I come, the owner of the restaurant will come over to greet me personally and offer me a glass of wine.
"Well... Mr. Ma, his meal has been paid by that lady." The waiter pointed at Sophie's mother.
Mr. Ma turned his head and looked over.
Sophie's mother smiled and nodded to Mr. Ma, "Hello, Mr. Ma!"
Sophie's father finally had the chance to say hello to Mr. Ma.
He walked forward with a smile on his face, "Mr. Ma, you are a distinguished person. It is difficult to see you at ordinary times. It is a pleasure to meet you here today!"
He offered his hand.
"Are you Manager Su from Yunsheng Pharmaceutical Export Co., Ltd.?" Mr. Ma didn't seem to be familiar with Sophie's parents.
"It's me! I've long heard of Mr. Ma!" Sophie's father kept his hand stretched out.
Because Mr. Ma did not shake hands with him immediately before confirming his identity.
"Hello, Manager Su!" Mr. Ma smiled and shook hands with Sophie's father politely. "Do you know Doctor Li?"
Mr. Ma asked tentatively.
He was obviously more interested in Li Quan. If Sophie's father had a special relationship with Li Quan, his attitude towards Sophie's father would definitely become much warmer.
"Uh...we just met..." Sophie's father looked embarrassed.
"So that's how it is!" Mr. Ma nodded. "Let's talk later. I'll go check out first."
After saying that, he ignored Sophie's father and walked straight to the cashier to pay.
There was a sound of a car braking suddenly outside the store.
Two black commercial vehicles stopped in front of the store. The doors opened and seven or eight young men who looked like thugs jumped out of the vehicles. Someone respectfully opened the front door.
A middle-aged man with great style got out of the car.
This group of people is very aggressive.
"Which bastard dares to come here and eat a free meal?" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
The cashier hurried over to explain.
"Boss, this young man complained about the high bill when he was paying, and I mistakenly thought he wanted to dine for free, so I notified the store manager. But this was a misunderstanding, and someone has already paid for his meal."
The middle-aged man looked at Li Quan, and when he heard that the meal had been paid, he didn't say anything more.
He glanced around and saw Mr. Ma paying the bill.
"Hey, Mr. Ma, you're here to take care of our shop again! Please have a smoke!" The ferocious look of the middle-aged man just now disappeared, replaced by a flattering smile.
He handed Mr. Ma a cigarette.
Mr. Ma didn't answer, his face still a little cold.
"What happened just now? You said that Doctor Li came to your restaurant and ate and ran away?" Mr. Ma's eyes were fixed on the cashier.
"Maybe he didn't have enough cash on him when he was paying, so he thought it was too expensive and refused to pay. That's why I misunderstood that he wanted to dine and free," the waiter carefully explained.
She was not stupid and could see that Mr. Ma attached great importance to this poor young man.
You have to be careful when speaking at this time.
Everyone's attention was once again focused on the little man Li Quan.
I saw that Li Quan had already opened his wallet, and there was a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills inside.
The thickness looks like tens of thousands of yuan.
How can you carry so much cash with you, but not be able to pay for a meal? It's a joke.
The cashier's face turned extremely embarrassed.
As soon as she said that Li Quan had no money, she slapped herself in the face.
"Uncle Su, here is 4,200 yuan. I said I don't need anyone to pay for my meal." Li Quan handed over the money.
Sophie's parents both looked ashamed.
They no longer dared to look down on Li Quan as they did before.
After giving the money to Sophie's father, Li Quan turned and looked at the cashier.
