Chapter Thirty-Seven: Stronger than those Martial Kings

  "It's up to you now, how to make a weak person strong, and how to smoothly circulate the impurities in his body?" After waiting for another ten or so minutes, Zhang Shidong pulled out all the silver needles and indicated that he should let the old man sleep before moving him.

  Xue Jianjun held Zhang Shidong's hand tightly and didn't let go, his face filled with excited gratitude. When they got outside, the Xue family members who had received the news were even more ecstatic. Xue Lin was about to kneel down in front of Zhang Shidong to apologize for her previous recklessness.

  Zhang Shidong pointed at the military off-road vehicle parked downstairs: "No need to apologize, no need to thank me either. Consider that car as the medical fee."

  The Xue family are all astute people, how could they not understand Zhang Shidong's meaning? They want a one-time settlement, don't want to make you feel indebted to him. You pay for the treatment, and the car is the payment; after the transaction, we owe each other nothing.

  Zhao Ya was taken away by Kong Mei, and together with many medical experts and professors, they conducted research on the case of Mr. Xue's illness. For a medical student like Zhao Ya, being associated with Kong Mei would bring her some prestige, not to mention that this step into the circle would benefit her for life.

  Five hours later, Zhang Shidong woke up from his sleep, the previous consumption making him extremely tired. The loss of true energy was far greater than letting him survive and fight alone in the tropical forest for half a month. Outside the window, it was already early evening, and looking at the time on his phone, it was 9:20.

  He got up, washed his face, opened the door and walked out of the ward. Suddenly, Xue Lin stood up: "Mr. Zhang, your mother is having a meeting with all the experts. It's 9:20 now, our whole family..."

  Zhang Shidong waved his hand, he didn't like this kind of grateful relationship. If saving Old Man Xue was to make this family feel grateful, as he had said before, even a thousand pieces of gold wouldn't be enough for him to waste his true energy to save the old man's life. "Is my car ready?"

  Xue Lin hesitated for a moment: "I can't send the army's car, but I compromised and hope Mr. Zhang can accept it."

  A silver-white Audi Q7 appeared in front of Zhang Shidong, and Xue Lin explained: "This car has been modified, the engine and body structure have just been ground well. All procedures are done, all in the car."

  Zhang Shidong got in the car, started the engine, listened to the sound of the engine turning over, and then said to Xue Lin: "Xue Camp, I won't be polite." After that, he started the car and left the hospital. He sent a text message to his mother and Zhao Ya separately, asking them to come pick him up after they finished their work. Zhao Ya replied quickly, telling Zhang Shidong that she might have to stay overnight tonight, so he should find a place to eat and rest on his own.

  Q7 left the hospital, and Jianjun and Jianshe walked out of the ward, standing beside their son and shaking their heads, sighing: "He doesn't want to have anything to do with us."

  It's not that the Xie family is stupid enough to think that Zhang Shidong is a greedy person, but his cold and resolute attitude is just telling them one fact: saving the old man is only because of his contributions to the country's education. They all saw how Zhang Shidong looked when he came out of the operating room, drenched in sweat, pale face, and eyes with uncontrollable fatigue, walking as if floating.

  He is not a doctor, nor does he have the obligation to rescue, but he did. The previous distrustful and even vicious attitudes made the Xue family unable to face Zhang Shidong at this moment. Can status and wealth move the heart of a man who can become a world-class rich man and a high-ranking official at any time?

  "Sincerely interact, sincerely associate, saved Dad's this kindness, Xue family, can't forget."

  Third Master Ye stood downstairs smoking a cigarette, while Xue Jianjun finally made the decision. The education they had received since childhood had long been deeply ingrained in every member of the Xue family. Even if they forgot everything else, they would never forget that having an elder at home provided tremendous help for their younger generation to make progress in their respective positions.

  Xue Lin, who had a slightly different idea from his father and uncle, was still thinking about one thing: "Good strength, stronger than those soldiers."

  ………

  The car's performance is great, the modified body makes the whole chassis higher, and the bumps on the urban road are completely imperceptible. The interior is even more luxurious, giving the driver a more comfortable driving experience.

  The entire vehicle's ownership was transferred to Zhang Shidong's name in just one afternoon, all procedures were done through express channels and even special backdoors opened after working hours, which shows the power of the privileged class.

  Inside the car was a stack of oil cards, roughly worth tens of thousands. The license plate number was also very good, it was Zhang Shidong's favorite cannonball zero, without being too showy but still satisfying some privileged psychology. Xue's family's focus on this matter won over Zhang Shidong's favor, regardless of whether the other party had ulterior motives or not, at least they were very sincere and put their own efforts in a position of equal value.

  He took out his phone and searched for a delicious farmhouse dish near Linhu, and when he arrived at the farmhouse restaurant with distinctive decorations, there were almost no empty seats. When he saw Zhang Shidong was alone, the waiter led him to a corner window seat, which was a table for two people, a rare sight in ordinary restaurants. Under the waiter's expectant gaze, Zhang Shidong didn't hesitate to spend tens of dollars and ordered four dishes and one soup for himself, and when he saw authentic Erguotou, he also ordered a bottle.

  In the restaurant's hall, several good friends were engaged in lively discussions, a dozen people were having dinner and laughing together, a family was gathered to taste food. Zhang Shidong leaned back in his chair, feeling very comfortable, listening to two tables of guests nearby complaining about work and society, venting their frustrations and saying that the pressure of life was too great. He felt more and more satisfied with his current life, six years of hard work, the blessing of heaven, and his parents' determination had given him a life without worries and pressure at the age of 24.

  The dishes smell great, the wine smells great. Just as Zhang Shidong was eating and drinking with relish, feeling carefree and content, a fragrant breeze hit his nose, and a figure suddenly sat down in the chair across from him. His face was flushed red, and the smell of alcohol on him had already begun to overpower the scent of top-grade perfume. He looked at Zhang Shidong and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Sorry about this, you go ahead and eat, I'll just sit here for a bit."

  Zhang Shidong looked at his opponent in confusion. Who could remain calm and continue eating when faced with a stunning beauty dressed in office attire?

  Soon, the answer came, a middle-aged man with a flushed face and staggering gait walked over, hiccuping: "Director Jiang, how did you end up here? The wine hasn't been finished yet?"

  Zhang Shidong noticed a flicker of dislike in Jiang's eyes that was not easily detectable, and his face wore a professional smile: "Director Ma, my boyfriend is waiting to take me home, I have to care about whether he has eaten well or not, right?"

  "Oh, Director Jiang's boyfriend. Now that you're here, let's get acquainted. Come on, come upstairs...". Director Ma was taken aback, his disappointed expression mixed with a hint of disbelief, and he extended his hand to shake Zhang Shidong's in a very leader-like manner.

  Zhang Shidong felt his calf being lightly kicked by the toe of a high-heeled shoe, because Director Ma proactively came over to shake hands and invite him, while that Jiang Zong was facing away from Director Ma, seemingly wanting to plead but also somewhat unable to let go, with a very strange expression.

  Beauty, absolute top beauty, her stunning degree exceeds Zhao Ya, even when facing Mi Gao Gao, she is not inferior at all. Her neat and curly hair is tied up, a pair of watery eyes that can see into people's hearts has become her ticket to enter the top-level beauty from a first-class beauty. The black professional attire matches her cold and capable queen temperament, making you involuntarily want to pounce on her, fiercely biting that white and delicate neck, as if leaving a mark there would be the highest honor for men.

  Zhang Shidong, in a good mood, stood up and smiled at Director Ma: "I wouldn't dare to appear without the leader's instructions, right? Just do a good job with the logistics work, okay, Honey?"

  Helping out, there's no such thing as a free lunch, going with the flow, Zhang Shidong took hold of this Jiang Zong's hand, soft and slightly fleshy, it felt very comfortable to shake.
