Chapter 43: Knocking on Bamboo

  Qin Di saw the customers leave, and he quickly packed up his things, slinging his medical box over his shoulder. He turned around to find Li Xiang Xi staring at him with a burning gaze. Qin Di smiled awkwardly, not wanting to reject him outright, especially since today's business wouldn't have been possible without Li Xiang Xi's help.

  Qin Di smiled and said: "This time I really want to thank expert Li for introducing me to a good business."

  "It's just a small effort, Dr. Qin doesn't need to be polite!" Li Xiangxi said with courtesy.

  Qin Di this time not only earned a lot of money, but also earned three years of life points. He was in a pretty good mood and said: "Li expert, today I'm treating you to dinner!"

  "This is great! Today I'll be the host, and I invite Dr. Qin to dinner!" Zhang Jinhua heard this and wouldn't miss the opportunity, immediately fawning and trying to curry favor.

  "Let's just do it this way. Director Zhang will host, and we'll all have dinner together." Li Xiangxi naturally didn't want to offend anyone, so he went along with Zhang Jinhua.

  "I'll go get the car!" Zhang Jinhua didn't say another word, pulled out two slippers and quickly ran to the parking lot. In just a few minutes, he drove over an Audi, opened the door personally for Qin Di like a poodle, and carefully invited him into the car like a secretary serving his superior.

  This made the two men, who were like followers, have a severe facial muscle spasm, and they couldn't believe it. Especially the driver of Director Zhang's car, seeing this scene, was shocked in his heart. He didn't think that Director Zhang, who had always been domineering in the hospital, would be so nimble when serving others, revealing a fawning attitude from the bones, not pretending at all, very natural, one hundred percent sincere, without any pretence.

  Zhang Jinhua waved his hand at the stunned little driver, indicating that he would go back himself, then quickly got into the passenger seat.

  "Go back!" Li Xiangxi instructed his followers with two sentences and also got into the car.

  ……

  The car made a few turns and exited the Flower Bird Market, passing by a bank. Qin Di took the opportunity to cash the check and deposit it into his own card, and also withdrew 20,000 yuan in cash.

  More than ten minutes later, the car arrived at a hotel.

  Zhang Jinhua had long since booked a private room, with wine and dishes ready, and the dinner table was filled with laughter.

  Li Xiangxi and Zhang Jinhua are both old hands on the wine scene, grasping the atmosphere very familiarly. Qin Di eats while being flattered by the two, feeling complacent.

  After dinner, Zhang Jinhua seized the opportunity to say what he had been brewing for a long time, which was nothing more than asking Qin Di to help him and speak well of him in front of the Ji family.

  Qin Di was not stupid, as soon as he heard this, his face sank, and with a big shot-like attitude, he didn't even glance at Zhang Jinhua, letting Director Zhang's smiling face stiffen in the wind. Qin Di turned around and started chatting with Li Xiangxi.

  Li Xiangxi pretended to be ignorant, mainly because he didn't have much of a relationship with Zhang Jinhua and wasn't powerful enough to stab Zhang in the back for him. He also didn't want to offend Qin Di, so he very naturally brought up some medical issues with Qin.

  Director Zhang, who was put on the side, looked embarrassed and uncomfortable in his heart. As a dignified director, he had humbled himself to such an extent, but you didn't even give him a word of courtesy!

  If it weren't for this matter being impossible for Qin Di to handle alone, Zhang Jinhua really wanted to slap him.

  "Dr. Qin... look at this matter, can you help me ask for a favor?" Zhang Jinhua was unhappy in his heart, but had to swallow his pride and continue to fawn on him.

  "Seeking favor?" Qin Di expressed, with a bewildered face: "From whom should I seek favor?"

  "Follow Secretary Ji." Zhang Jinhua said hastily, with a look of expectation on his face.

  Qin Di suddenly enlightened, then glanced at Zhang Jinhua with a slight frown, and made a difficult expression, saying: "Director Zhang, this is probably not suitable, after all, my Ji family doesn't have much relationship with you!"

  Zhang Jinhua's face broke into a smile, and he said in a gentle voice: "How could there be no affection? Old Ji's illness wasn't cured by Dr. Qin, was it? The Ji family owes you a great favor... As long as you speak up, Secretary Ji will definitely give you this face!"

  Qin Di smiled and said: "I don't think my face is so big."

  "Dr. Qin's face is as big as the sky." Zhang Jinhua said with a definite expression.

  "Director Zhang is too kind to me!" Qin Di said with a faint smile, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.

  "Not at all, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Jinhua said.

  "Director Zhang is really good at telling jokes, how could my face be as big as the sky?" Qin Di chuckled and made a series of "pa, pa pa, pa pa pa" sounds with his mouth.

  "In the eyes of the Ji family, Dr. Qin's face is that big." Zhang Jinhua said solemnly, putting all his energy on Qin Di's face, so he didn't notice Qin Di's expression when she tapped the table and made a "pa pa pa" sound with her mouth.

  "Director Zhang, don't you think that when asking someone to do something, one should show some courtesy? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!" Qin Di said with some impatience, directly getting to the point.

  Zhang Jinhua was taken aback and immediately realized that this kid wanted to swindle him.

  Qin smiled slightly, as if he could already smell the ink on the banknotes. A hospital director's family was definitely not ordinary, and it wouldn't be right to let him off without paying a price. Qin Di himself felt that he would be doing himself an injustice if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, and it would also be unfair to the Party and the people if he didn't thoroughly exploit this ready-made scapegoat.

  As expected, Zhang Jinhua quickly pulled out a bank card from his bag and said with a smile: "Dr. Qin, there's 100,000 yuan in this card, the password is six 8s, it's just a small token of my appreciation."

  Qin Di didn't even bother to glance at him, but just snorted softly and said: "Director Zhang, it's not that I'm unwilling to help with this matter. The main thing is that Secretary Ji is such a big shot who handles thousands of matters every day, would he give a poor student like me any face? It's probably impossible for us to even meet... What do you think, isn't that the reason?"

  Zhang Jinhua knew that this price couldn't satisfy Qin Di, so he quickly took out another bank card: "Two million, Dr. Qin, there are two million in this card!"

  Qin Di sighed: "When asking someone for a favor, I also have to bring gifts, otherwise it's embarrassing to visit them."

  Zhang Jinhua picked up the silk handkerchief on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and another bank card was taken out: "One hundred thousand, Dr. Qin, a total of four hundred thousand, not less!"

  "Four million can buy a few square meters of house in the deep sea." Qin Di said lightly, "Not to mention that Secretary Ji is this kind of person who handles things, without several hundred thousand, I'm afraid even the door of the Ji family cannot be entered... Director Zhang, if you are talking about four million US dollars, I will consider trying it out."

  Zhang Jinhua's face turned green, and he took out another bank card, his face painful as he said: "I'll add another 200,000. This is already my limit."

  "Alright, I'll give it a try." Qin Di hesitated for a moment and said: "But I only have 50% confidence, mainly because I'm just a minor figure, and I'm afraid the Ji family won't give me any face!"

  Zhang Jinhua's facial muscles twitched violently, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a key, saying: "This is the key to a 140-square-meter house in Tongchen Yipin. If Dr. Qin can get this done, I'll transfer the house to your name tomorrow!"

  This time, Zhang Jinhua has lost a lot of money, a set of Tongchen Yipin 140 square meters house, this is several million ah!

  Qin Di's few sighs had actually sighed out nearly half of Zhang Jinhua's family property!

  It can't be said that it's not poisonous and not harmful!

  Qin Di knew there wasn't much oil left to squeeze out and was preparing to quit while he was ahead.

  Qin Di looked at Zhang Jinhua's sour face and felt very unhappy, missing the opportunity to severely punish him, and didn't know if he would have another chance to deal with him in the future.

  Suddenly, Qin Di's heart moved, pretending to be reluctant but actually not at all, and took away the several bank cards and keys on the table. Then he looked at Zhang Jinhua, a warm smile appeared on his face: "Director Zhang, I think your complexion is very poor today, this is a precursor to a serious illness, come, let me take your pulse!"

  Zhang Jinhua was stunned for a moment, thinking where did he get sick? However, he dared not hesitate and obediently stretched out his hand.

  Qin Di's hand was placed on Zhang Jinhua's wrist, and he was suddenly dazzled by a strong light.

  Qin Di fixed his eyes on him, and a Patek Philippe casual watch appeared from Zhang Jinhua's sleeve. The twelve diamonds, each about one carat, shone brightly under the light. Qin Di's cunning eyes turned around, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "There's no major problem, it's just a minor illness, but it still needs to be treated. I have a kind of 'Goddess Dan' here, only one is needed, guaranteed to cure the disease."

  "This, how can this be a good omen!" Zhang Jinhua had a feeling of foreboding.

  "Don't be polite, we're familiar with each other, no need to stand on ceremony!" Qin Di quickly pulled out a "Goddess of Eliminating Diseases" pill from his medical box and forcibly stuffed it into Zhang Jinhua's hand, smiling brightly as he said: "Director Zhang, considering our friendship, I won't charge you for this medicine. However, Director Zhang also knows that my medical practice has a rule... therefore, in exchange for this 'Goddess of Eliminating Diseases' pill, I only want three years of your lifespan."

  Speechless and depressed expression appeared on Zhang Jinhua's face.

  But Qin Di grasped his left hand tightly, his eyes fixed greedily on the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch, and suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?" Without batting an eyelid, Qin Di said, "Director Zhang, why do I feel that this watch has a connection with me? What a strange thing! Could it be fate?"

  "Ah!"

  A mouthful of tea spurted out from Li Xiangxi's mouth, and then he tried his best to hold back his laughter, stifling it with great difficulty, his face flushing red... thinking that this kid is wicked, what a wicked trick!

  It's even more ruthless than a bandit, this is going to drive Zhang Jinhua to death.

  Li Xiangxi felt that his brain was no longer useful.

  That Zhang Dainstitute was completely stunned, and everything in front of him went black.

  Qin Di's cunning eyes had already shifted towards Zhang Jinhua's other attire.

  Zhang Jinhua only felt his whole body hair standing on end, quickly taking off the watch from his wrist and putting it in Qin Di's hand. Then he grabbed the dan medicine and said "I'm willing" before running out of the room like he had seen a ghost.

  Qin Di blinked his eyes and looked at Li Xiangxi. After a while, he suddenly said: "Expert Li, is this the legendary 'water floating'?"
