Chapter Twenty: Encounter with a Swindler Again
Chapter Twenty
Wang Xu of Yunhua Group was naturally heard of. Yunhua Group is one of the largest group companies in Yuncheng, with assets of no less than 10 billion and industries all over Yuncheng.
The founder of Yunhua Group is Yunpeng, the husband of He Minhua, the current president of Yunhua Group. Mentioning Yunpeng, he is absolutely a legendary figure in Yuncheng and even Jiangzhou.
Yun Peng used to be just a poor young man who had never even attended college, but he managed to build his business from scratch and created the Yunhua Group, a large enterprise, in just thirty years.
Three years ago, Yunpeng unfortunately passed away, and his wife He Minhua took over the group, becoming the head of the Yunhua Group. He Minhua is ten years younger than Yunpeng, and during Yunpeng's lifetime, she kept a low profile. However, after Yunpeng's death, He Minhua demonstrated abilities and skills that were in no way inferior to Yunpeng's as she took over the Yunhua Group, quickly stabilizing the turmoil within the group following Yunpeng's passing.
Wang Xulai has been in Yun City for less than a month and is not familiar with many things about Yun City, but he has heard a lot about He Mianhua's affairs. However, he had not heard that He Mianhua was suffering from illness and seeking medical treatment everywhere.
After listening to Peng Shan's explanation, Wang Xu curiously asked: "What is He Minhua suffering from?"
"I don't know either." Peng Shan shook his head and smiled: "He Mianhua has been seeking medical treatment everywhere, but she is not willing to make her condition public. If you want to know what disease she has, you must go to Yunhua Group in person."
"Hmph! And this matter." Wang Xu heard and couldn't help but click his tongue, you know that the more famous doctors nationwide are, the more they love their reputation. A situation like He Minhua's, where the illness is not made public, would make many doctors forget to retreat.
It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without danger. A famous doctor usually needs to have more than 50% confidence in their diagnosis, otherwise they will lose face if the treatment doesn't work. By not releasing any information, He Minhua is essentially leaving these doctors in the dark.
"He Mianhua has been ill for almost half a year, and many doctors have gone to treat her, including dozens of famous Chinese and Western medicine doctors, but she hasn't been cured yet, and it's not clear what kind of strange disease it is." Han Yixue spoke up.
"This is indeed a strange illness, making it mysterious and secretive." Wang Xu said with a smile.
"Although the treatment is mysterious, the medical bill from Yunhua Group is very high. If it can cure He Minhua's illness, I'll give 5 million directly." Peng Shan said with a sigh.
"Even if it can't be cured, there's a settlement fee of 500,000 yuan. Otherwise, after seeing so many doctors, someone would have leaked the information by now." Han Yixue said with a smile.
"Haha, Cloud Hua Group is indeed rich and arrogant." Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. He worked at the First Affiliated Hospital with a formal salary that was considered good in all of Yuncheng, with an annual salary of just over 1 million yuan. But this Cloud Hua Group directly offered a price of 5 million yuan, no wonder so many doctors were flocking to it.
"Are you tempted? Why don't you give it a try, even if it doesn't work, there's still 500,000 yuan." Han Yixue asked with a smile.
"Me?" Wang Xu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said: "I guess I don't even have the qualifications to go." His words weren't entirely self-deprecating, as going to Yunhua Group to treat He Minhua's illness would cost at least 500,000, showing that not just anyone was qualified to go.
"Xiao Xue, if you want to go, I can talk to the teacher and take you there for a visit, but don't expect me to pay your medical expenses." Peng Shan chimed in from the side.
"Never mind." Wang Xu shook his head and went to Yunhua Group for medical treatment. It wasn't a good thing, but if he couldn't cure the famous ones, it would be easier to say. For someone like him who was unknown, going there would inevitably lead to ridicule, and he didn't want to be a spectator.
While the three were talking, Bai Nongxin had already prepared the meal and brought it up. Seeing that Wang Xu and the others were chatting enthusiastically, Bai Nongxin smiled and asked: "Doctor Wang, what wine do you want to drink?"
"Mountain, can you still drink?" Hearing Bai Nong's question, Wang Xu smiled and asked Peng Shan. Han Yixue didn't drink much, if Peng Shan didn't drink, he wouldn't bother to have wine either.
"Never mind, let's just forget it for today, I've had quite a bit already." Peng Shan shook his head and smiled wryly.
Since Pengshan didn't drink, Wang Xu also didn't bother to order wine. The three of them chatted casually and time passed quickly, before they knew it, it was already 8:30 in the evening.
Peng Shan still had to stay in Yun City for a few more days, and Wang Xu had plenty of time to catch up with Peng Shan. The three of them didn't linger at the restaurant, but instead went down to the second floor together. Bai Nongxin personally came out to see them off again. Just as they were walking out of the restaurant, five or six people approached from the opposite direction, led by a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by five young men in their thirties.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Wang Xu subconsciously lowered his head. He knew this middle-aged man, who was the swindler exposed by Yun Chongzhi when he first came to Huacheng.
For people like this, Wang Xu subconsciously didn't want to provoke them. These guys were like chewing gum - unless you scared them off once and for all, they would always be looking for trouble.
"Ah, young one, it's actually you." Despite Wang Xu hastily lowering his head, he was still caught in a glance by the middle-aged man, who clearly saw Wang Xu's appearance and immediately reached out to grab him.
That day, Wang Xu delayed his business for a long time. Moreover, he was exposed near the First Affiliated Hospital and for more than half a month, middle-aged people didn't dare to commit fraud near the hospital. He had been resentful of Wang Xu for a long time.
Fortunately, Wang Xu works at the First Affiliated Hospital and lives in the hospital's dormitory building. He rarely goes out, so middle-aged people can't usually meet Wang Xu. Today, he finally met him, how could he let it go.
The middle-aged man made a move, and the five young men following behind him quickly surrounded them, encircling Wang Xu and his two companions in the middle.
When he saw the middle-aged man grab him, Wang Xu knew he couldn't avoid it and stretched out his hand to lightly tap the middle-aged man's wrist again. The middle-aged man quickly withdrew his outstretched hand.
The middle-aged man had already suffered a loss at the hands of Wang Xu once before, and now that he was being swept away by Wang Xu's arm for the second time, his arm went numb with rage. He glared coldly at Wang Xu and said, "You little scamp, I know you have two tricks up your sleeve, but this big brother won't let you off the hook this time."
Suddenly surrounded by five or six men, Han Yixue and Peng Shan were both slightly stunned. Bai Nongxin, who had just sent Wang Xu out the door, rushed out to see what was happening and smiled at the middle-aged man, saying: "Dajiang, what's going on? Let's talk things over calmly."
Listening to Ba Nong Xin's name, it seems like I still know this middle-aged man.
"Hey, old White, this has nothing to do with you, scram!" The middle-aged man looked at Bainian Xin impatiently, not giving him any face.
Bai Nongxin is a restaurant owner who values harmony and making money, and he also knows the middle-aged Han man, knowing that this guy is a local rascal. By rights, he shouldn't get involved in such things, but these few people obviously have conflicts with Wang Xu, and now Wang Xu can be considered as Bai Zijie's benefactor, so how could Bai Nongxin give up?
Hearing the middle-aged man's angry scolding, Bai Nongxin also got angry and shouted loudly. Before long, more than a dozen people rushed out of the restaurant.
Bai Nongxin's restaurant is neither big nor small, with more than 20 people in the kitchen and service staff combined. These service staff are all temporarily recruited and don't have much intimidation power. However, most of the kitchen staff followed Bai Nongxin from Nanhu and are experienced in stir-frying dishes. They have sturdy builds, and some even come out holding woks and knives.
A group of people suddenly came out, and the middle-aged man's forehead was already sweating. He had eaten at Xiangxiang Pavilion before, but he didn't expect that the normally gentle Bai Nongxin would also have a moment of losing his temper.
"Director Bai, think carefully, are you really going to make things difficult for me and Da Qiang?" The middle-aged man stared at Bai Nongxin, asking in a cold tone.
"Great, Dr. Wang is my guest, if you want to give me face, from now on when you come over for dinner it's all on me. If you're intentionally making things difficult for Dr. Wang, then I'll make things difficult for you today." Bai Nongxin said without backing down.
"Alright, alright, Old White, you've got guts." The middle-aged man heard this and was furious but couldn't help laughing. He let out a cold snort, waved his hand, and led a group of people away.
Watching the group of middle-aged men leave, Wang Xu sighed repeatedly and looked at Bai Nongxin: "Uncle Bai, these people are not good eggs. You offended them for me, they won't let it go."
"I know these guys, but I couldn't just watch Dr. Wang lose out in my restaurant." Bai Nongxin also said with a bitter smile.
To put it bluntly, those people from earlier couldn't afford to mess with Bai Nongxun. The reason he suddenly blew up was for Wang Xu's sake. It has to be said that this Old Master Bai is indeed a passionate person.
"Hmm!" Listening to Bai Nongxin's words, Wang Xu was at a loss for what to say for the moment. Since coming to Yun City, he had always taken an attitude of not wanting to provoke trouble, yet he never thought that in the end it would still implicate others.
"No wonder Grandpa always said that society is a big dye vat, once you enter it, many things are beyond your control, and at any time, you must keep your original heart." Wang Xu muttered to himself, involuntarily recalling Wang Heyan's reminder.
