Volume 4: Transformation into Mystery Chapter 570 The First Patient
One day, when Gao Sheng returned home, after dinner, his wife asked him curiously: "Are you busy during the day? How many patients come to the clinic to see a doctor?"
Gao Sheng's wife concentrates on taking care of her husband and children at home and seldom goes out. She has never heard of the rumors about Li Xuanfeng's clinic.
Hearing his words, the smile on Gao Sheng's face suddenly froze, and he said helplessly: "So far, no patient has entered the clinic. "
After hearing this, his wife's eyes widened slightly and asked in disbelief, "How many days has the museum been open? No one has come?"
Gao Sheng nodded helplessly. He was quite anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He really couldn't lead a boss like Li Xuanfeng who was not anxious at all.
The wife immediately asked again: "There is no patient, isn't the boss anxious?"
Gao Sheng replied helplessly, "The boss was not in a hurry at all. He didn't even make any noise when he unveiled the plaque. He just pulled the red silk open. I told him several times but he didn't move at all."
After hearing Gao Sheng's words, his wife's expression became as helpless as his. She said with some concern: "If no patients come to the clinic, I'm afraid it will close soon."
Gao Sheng's heart suddenly tightened at the thought of the clinic closing. It was not just that he was worried about losing this good job, but also that he had built the clinic piece by piece, and he already felt a little reluctant to leave.
If we really want to talk about it, Gao Sheng's sense of belonging to this clinic is probably stronger than Li Xuanfeng's.
Seeing the worry in Gao Sheng's face, his wife pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Why don't we help the boss promote it and attract some patients."
After hearing this, Gao Sheng put aside his worries, smiled and nodded, saying: "This is a good method, we can give it a try."
After spending a few days together, Gao Sheng had gotten to know Li Xuanfeng quite well. He realized that it was almost impossible to ask him to promote the clinic in person, so it would be easier for him to find a way to promote it himself.
The wife also smiled and nodded, saying, "That's it. You go to the clinic to work tomorrow, and I'll promote the clinic nearby."
The next day, when Gao Sheng went to work in the clinic, his wife also walked out of the house and started chatting with the neighbors nearby.
After chatting for a while, Gao Sheng's wife deliberately sighed: "Our Gao Sheng is now working in a medical clinic. The boss has a good personality and I believe his medical skills are also very good."
She originally thought that the neighbors would be curious about which clinic Gao Sheng worked in and how he was paid, so she could take the opportunity to promote the clinic.
What she didn't expect was that the neighbor sneered and mocked her: "What's there to be proud of? The owner of the clinic is just a crappy doctor."
Gao Sheng's wife was very surprised: "Why do you say that?"
The neighbor immediately laughed and said, "Everyone says so. No one dares to go to this clinic for treatment."
Hearing their words, Gao Sheng's wife was immediately very angry and said, "How can this matter be heard from others? How can anyone know that he is a crappy doctor when no one has ever seen the patient?"
The neighbor then told Gao Sheng's wife that Li Xuanfeng had sent him to buy all the medical books, and Gao Sheng's wife could not find a good explanation.
She could only manage a few words of explanation, but there were quite a few neighbors who said the same thing and she simply couldn't finish her words.
In the end, she could only find a reason to leave and go to another place to continue promoting the clinic, but the results were almost exactly the same. No one believed in Li Xuanfeng's medical skills at all.
Unwilling to give up, she changed her location twice and even came to a place several miles away from the clinic, but people nearby still had a very consistent opinion on the Li family clinic.
At this time, Gao Sheng's wife finally believed that the opening of Li's clinic had been known to many people, but they all knew of its bad reputation, and no one was willing to go to the clinic to try Li Xuanfeng's medical skills.
Even before he had received a single patient, he was already notorious...
Gao Sheng's wife had no choice but to return home in silence, feeling extremely powerless. She knew that she had no way of changing the image of Li's Clinic in the eyes of everyone.
When Gao Sheng returned home after work, he saw his wife looking rather melancholy, and immediately asked, "How was the result today?"
Without even looking up, his wife smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it. Everyone says that the boss is a lousy doctor. No one dares to try his luck in the clinic."
Gao Sheng smiled and said, "I had anticipated this, so you don't have to blame yourself."
The wife was slightly stunned after hearing this, and said in a somewhat blaming tone: "You know why you didn't tell me earlier, causing me to lose face in front of the neighbors."
Gao Sheng smiled and said, "I just want you to try your best, maybe it will work. If I tell you in advance, you won't have confidence yourself, so how can you convince others?"
His wife immediately gave him a big eye roll in helplessness. It was obvious that this matter was not something that the two of them could reverse. The rumors among the people could only be dispelled if Li Xuanfeng could truly prove his medical skills.
Gao Sheng continued, "The boss doesn't care about this matter at all. I think everything is under his control. We don't have to worry too much."
After spending some time together, Gao Sheng already knew that although Li Xuanfeng was very young, he was extremely steady in character, as if he would remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. This was simply not something that his temperament could compare to.
Since Li Xuanfeng doesn't care about this matter so much, he doesn't need to worry too much and can just wait for Li Xuanfeng to deal with it.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, six or seven days had passed, and still no patient had entered the Li family clinic.
At this time, Gao Sheng had finished all the tidying up of the clinic and was starting to have nothing to do.
As he had nothing to do, Gao Sheng became increasingly worried about the clinic's business.
Seeing that Gao Sheng's expression was becoming more and more worried, Li Xuanfeng smiled helplessly and asked him to start reading medical books and learning medical skills.
A few days ago, Li Xuanfeng had already started teaching Shen Luoyan medical skills, and she had already finished reading several books.
Shen Luoyan and Gao Sheng both know nothing about medicine and need to start from the most basic.
Li Xuanfeng found the most basic medical book and asked the two to start learning step by step.
Thinking that he would need to help Li Xuanfeng to the best of his ability in the future, Gao Sheng put all his energy into reading medical books and memorizing the knowledge in them.
Because there were still many characters he didn't recognize, Gao Sheng took the initiative to ask Li Xuanfeng for advice, and Li Xuanfeng explained in great detail.
As he continued to read medical books, Gao Sheng's literacy and understanding of medical skills increased at a rapid pace.
Seeing Gao Sheng's attentive look while flipping through the medical book, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but complain in his heart: "If it weren't for Gao Sheng's burly figure, I'm afraid more people would believe that he is a scholar."
Shen Luoyan was even faster because she was extremely intelligent and didn't need to learn characters like Gao Sheng.
Seeing the two of them studying medical knowledge so attentively, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile. His mind became more peaceful, as if he was beginning to completely integrate into human life.
As Li Xuanfeng and his two companions continued to learn, they finally welcomed their first customer on the tenth day after the clinic opened.
This was a middle-aged man of medium build. He was holding his stomach and ran into the clinic with an extremely painful look on his face, shouting, "Doctor, please take a look at me. I feel so uncomfortable!"
This man's voice instantly attracted the attention of Li Xuanfeng and the other two. Gao Sheng's expression suddenly showed surprise. He immediately put down the medical book in his hand, stepped forward and supported the middle-aged man.
Gao Sheng muttered in his heart with great joy: "Finally, the first patient has arrived. This way, we can prove Dr. Li's medical skills and make the clinic's business flourish."
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan also stood up and slowly walked to a desk and sat down. Gao Sheng immediately helped the middle-aged man to sit opposite Li Xuanfeng.
Li Xuanfeng looked at the middle-aged man calmly and asked, "What are your symptoms?"
The middle-aged man was still holding his stomach, his expression extremely painful, and he spoke with difficulty: "This morning I felt sore and weak all over, and just now I suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain, as if it was going to explode!"
Li Xuanfeng looked at the man deeply for a second, then said calmly, "Please stretch out your hand, and I will feel your pulse."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man stretched out his right hand. Li Xuanfeng placed two fingers on his wrist and began to take his pulse.
After just a few breaths, Li Xuanfeng withdrew his hand and said calmly, "You don't have any illness."
Hearing his words, Gao Sheng and Shen Luoyan were quite surprised. How could this middle-aged man not have any symptoms at all when he was in so much pain?
At this moment, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth suddenly rose slightly, and he stood up suddenly, cursing: "I'm in so much pain, and you said I don't have any symptoms? You are indeed the lousy doctor in the rumors, with no medical skills at all!"
"If the pain wasn't unbearable and it wasn't hard to find another clinic, I would never set foot in your clinic!"
Hearing his scolding, Li Xuanfeng's expression remained calm, but his voice suddenly became extremely cold: "Be more respectful in your tone!"
For some reason, the middle-aged man felt an extremely strong chill from Li Xuanfeng's words, as if he was instantly surrounded by ice.
However, the middle-aged man did not care about the sudden chill in his heart, and mocked again: "You are a lousy doctor and you don't allow others to say it?"
At this time, Li Xuanfeng sneered and said, "Your pulse is stable, your complexion is rosy, and your eyes are bright. The pain is probably just fake."
Li Xuanfeng had already had some suspicions when this person entered the clinic just now. Although this person looked extremely painful and was even holding his stomach, he did not look weak at all.
After hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, Shen Luoyan and Gao Sheng also looked at him carefully and immediately found that this person's complexion was indeed no different from that of ordinary people.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily again: "I won't waste any more time talking to a crappy doctor like you. I'd better go find another doctor."
Having said that, the middle-aged man turned and left. When he stood up, he covered his stomach again and walked towards the door with an extremely painful expression.
But just as he stepped out of the clinic, his body suddenly went limp, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground with a bang, unable to move!
