Volume 4: Transformation into Mystery Chapter 576: Integrating into Qingshan City
Hearing the thin man's words of gratitude, Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled, waved his hand and said, "This is my job, no need to be polite."
The skinny man immediately clasped his fists and bowed deeply again, and said solemnly: "It may be just a small thing for you, but it is a great favor that helped me get out of this difficult situation."
The skinny man was extremely excited at this moment, as if he had finally found a sweet rain after a long drought. He finally walked out of the shadow of typhoid fever and would soon be able to resume normal life.
The skinny man expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Xuanfeng before turning around and leaving the clinic.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been suffering from typhoid fever for too long, spending a lot of money and making life a little difficult, the skinny man would even want to prepare a generous gift to express his gratitude.
Originally, he wanted to ask Doctor Li to prescribe a prescription for conditioning his body, but when he saw the wooden sign at the door that read "Two hundred dollars for the diagnosis fee," he finally gave up the idea.
Having suffered from typhoid fever for half a year, his pockets were already very tight and he could no longer spend money lavishly.
After the skinny man left the clinic, he met many familiar people when he went to get some herbs to replenish his body.
When these people saw that the skinny man's complexion had improved so much, they were surprised and asked him how he got better from his typhoid fever.
The skinny man happily told the truth about Li Xuanfeng's treatment.
As he spoke out, the story gradually spread in the neighborhood.
People nearby soon learned that the new doctor, Li, had cured a patient who had been suffering from typhoid fever for half a year.
Moreover, this patient had been treated for typhoid fever by many doctors, but all the prescriptions prescribed by these doctors had no effect. However, the prescription prescribed by Li Xuanfeng made this patient completely cured.
Upon hearing this, the nearby residents were extremely surprised. They didn't expect that this rumored lousy doctor actually had such skills.
This incident gradually covered up the rumors about the crappy doctor, and the nearby residents gradually believed that the new doctor was really capable.
However, thinking of the high diagnosis fee set by Li Xuanfeng, only a few people with relatively good family wealth came to the clinic for treatment, while most people were still reluctant to spend such expensive diagnosis fees.
Soon after the skinny man's typhoid fever was cured, the other three patients' difficult and complicated diseases were also cured.
After the three people's illnesses were cured, they immediately came to the clinic to thank Li Xuanfeng.
"Dr. Li, thank you for curing my illness. This is a small token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it."
Because of their similar status and family background, the three people came to express their gratitude in very similar ways. Two of them even arrived at the same time, each bringing a generous gift, which they respectfully handed to Li Xuanfeng for acceptance.
Gao Sheng took a quick look and found that the thank-you gifts from these three people were not low, at least ten taels of silver each.
For them, ten taels of silver was not a lot of money and was far less than the kindness of Doctor Li in curing their illnesses.
Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled, "It is my duty to cure illnesses and save lives. You don't need to be grateful, let alone such a generous gift. Take it back."
When they heard that Li Xuanfeng refused their thank-you gift without hesitation, they were extremely surprised and continued to say, "Doctor Li, this is just a small token of our appreciation. You don't have to mind it. Just accept it with peace of mind."
For ordinary doctors, what they look forward to most is having patients come to express their gratitude after they recover. This can not only enhance their reputation, but also allow them to receive a considerable amount of thank-you gifts.
If it were any other doctor, he would definitely refuse it briefly but then accept the gift with a smile.
However, to their great surprise, Li Xuanfeng's tone suddenly turned cold: "You don't have to be so polite. If you have nothing else to do, go back. Gao Sheng, show us out!"
The three men immediately understood that because they had asked Doctor Li to accept thank-you gifts many times, Doctor Li was already a little angry, and they dared not say anything more.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng refuse the gifts from these three people, Gao Sheng was a little surprised, but he was no longer too surprised.
After spending such a long time with Li Xuanfeng, he already knew that Dr. Li's temperament was completely different from other doctors, so it was not surprising that he would do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Gao Sheng made a gesture of invitation to the people who came to give gifts, and said seriously: "Everyone, please go back."
When the three people saw that Li Xuanfeng's tone was so firm and there was no intention of refusal at all, they finally realized that Doctor Li was not being polite to them but was truly refusing their gift of thanks.
They had been suffering from their illness for so long and had seen many doctors, but this was the first time they had met such an honest and selfless doctor.
Thinking of this, the three people's respect for Li Xuanfeng suddenly increased several times again. They clasped their fists and bowed deeply to him with great respect before saying goodbye and leaving.
After the three people left the clinic and told others about the matter, Li Xuanfeng's reputation spread again in the neighborhood.
Knowing that Li Xuanfeng actually refused the patient's thank-you gift, the people nearby were extremely surprised. Many of them immediately expressed disbelief. Who doesn't love money?
Many people even sneered and asked: "If Dr. Li doesn't love money, why does he set such a high diagnosis fee?"
But when two of them came to give gifts that day, a person who went into the clinic to buy medicine saw it with his own eyes. With this person's confirmation, those who were talking about it had to believe it.
As the news gradually spread within Qingshan City, Li Xuanfeng's fame began to approach that of other prestigious doctors.
Not only did he cure several patients with difficult and complicated diseases, but he also decisively refused the patients' gifts of thanks.
Curing difficult and complicated diseases that other doctors could not cure was already an extremely surprising thing, and refusing the gift of thanks made this surprise even more surprising.
The only bad thing about the rumors about Li Xuanfeng is that the diagnosis fee is too high, which excludes countless people from ordinary families.
When Gao Sheng heard the rumors about Li Xuanfeng, he was extremely happy, knowing that the rumors about the crappy doctor had finally been completely dispelled.
Moreover, the medical skills demonstrated by Doctor Li are now better than those of other doctors in Qingshan City, which makes many patients with difficult and complicated diseases or long-term illnesses yearn for him.
Among these people, if they have a good family background, they will immediately rush to Li's Clinic to have Li Xuanfeng diagnose them. Even if they are from a poor family, they will find ways to collect the diagnosis fee, hoping that they can recover as quickly as possible after being treated by Doctor Li.
Seeing the number of patients coming to the clinic gradually increase, Gao Sheng couldn't help but wonder, if Dr. Li's diagnosis fee was similar to that of other doctors, the clinic would probably be crowded with people...
At this time, Gao Sheng seemed to understand why Dr. Li set such a high diagnosis fee, which was to avoid himself being too busy.
Thinking of this possibility, Gao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He was afraid that only Doctor Li had such a unique idea. Others just wanted to have as much business as possible.
Time passed slowly, and as they continued to run the clinic, Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan had completely integrated into the life of Qingshan City.
The residents nearby have become quite familiar with Li Xuanfeng and his companions. The women among the neighbors even send Shen Luoyan home-grown vegetables from time to time.
However, Shen Luoyan did not accept the gift from his neighbors in vain. He also prepared some very healthy medicinal herbs and gave them to them for making soup.
Seeing Shen Luoyan being so polite, these women's favorable impression of Shen Luoyan increased a lot, and they became more familiar with each other when chatting.
During the casual chat, the women in the neighborhood were quite curious about Li Xuanfeng. One of them asked Shen Luoyan with a smile: "Mrs. Li, I wonder how you met Doctor Li back then?"
Hearing this person's words, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but look at Li Xuanfeng who was sitting next to the table. Her eyes were full of tenderness and a bright smile appeared on her pretty face. She said, "When I was in danger, he risked his life to save me and stole my heart by the way."
Shen Luoyan recalled the time when she was in danger in the Xuanling Sect's secret trial realm, and Li Xuanfeng used a desperate fighting method to kill both sides and finally killed the ferocious beast.
After killing the ferocious beast, Li Xuanfeng also fainted. It took him several days to wake up after treatment, which made her extremely worried.
It was at that time that Shen Luoyan discovered that her heart was no longer in her body, but in Li Xuanfeng...
After hearing this, the neighbor immediately joked: "So it's a hero saving a beautiful girl. No wonder Mrs. Li is so kind to Dr. Li."
Hearing this person's joke, a blush appeared on Shen Luoyan's pretty face, but she nodded slightly and looked tenderly at Li Xuanfeng who was concentrating on reading a medical book.
After becoming familiar with Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan, although Li Xuanfeng seldom chatted with them, the neighbors already felt that he and Shen Luoyan were quite gentle, and did not show any pride because of the growing business of the clinic.
After knowing the personalities of Li Xuanfeng and the other man, almost all of the neighbors were extremely envious of Gao Sheng . Not only did he get a job that paid quite well, but his boss also had such a good temper, which was something you couldn't find even with a lantern.
Several of the neighbors wanted to ask Shen Luoyan if he was still recruiting employees, but they saw that although the clinic's business had improved a lot, the extremely diligent Gao Sheng was still able to take care of it. With Shen Luoyan's help, the clinic's affairs were still in good order, so they didn't dare to ask about it.
Some people couldn't help but complain in their hearts: "How can Gao Sheng be so diligent? If he were a little lazy, the Li family clinic could have hired two more employees."
Li Xuanfeng had already noticed Gao Sheng's hard work and had suggested recruiting two more waiters. However, Gao Sheng said that he was enough on his own and there was no need to recruit more waiters.
Hearing this, Li Xuanfeng then proposed to increase Gao Sheng's salary, but he was still rejected by him. He said that the current salary was already unworthy and increasing it further would make him feel uneasy.
Seeing Gao Sheng was so persistent, Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to follow his advice and not mention the matter anymore for the time being.
Although the diagnosis fee set by Li Xuanfeng was extremely high, his superb medical skills had already spread throughout Qingshan City, and no other doctor could compare with him.
Therefore, there are still many people suffering from difficult and complicated diseases who come to Li Xuanfeng's clinic and spend high diagnosis fees for treatment.
There are even many people who, if they feel their condition is more serious, do not dare to look for other doctors. Instead, they collect the diagnosis fee and come to Li's Clinic, hoping that they can be cured by Dr. Li in one go, thus saving effort, time and money.
