"Cheers!"
After a cup of wine, Xia Xue's pretty face became flushed.
She couldn't hold her liquor well and was already dizzy after just one cup.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, not only ate fast but also drank fast.
In a short period, he had downed half a pound of wine.
With the purple spiritual energy in his body, he could dissolve alcohol, making him almost immune to drunkenness.
Outside, the moonlight was like water, and the sky was full of twinkling stars.
In the late spring and early summer season, flowers bloomed everywhere on the mountainside, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.
"Woof woof woof..."
That night, the sound of dogs barking echoed throughout the village, only subsiding in the latter half of the night.
A hint of fish-belly white appeared in the east.
Lin Fan sat in the courtyard, absorbing the first ray of dawn.
Half an hour later.
"Xiao Fan, you're up so early."
Gao Lu walked out, her face beaming, looking much more energetic.
Xia Xue also came out, her face still a little red.
Lin Fan got up and walked over, injecting a stream of spiritual energy into her body. "I'm hungry."
Xia Xue immediately perked up. "I'll go make breakfast right away."
After she left, Gao Lu smiled mysteriously. "Xiao Fan, come with me. I have a surprise for you."
Lin Fan scratched his head. "Lulu, what surprise?"
Entering the house, Gao Lu took out a stack of documents from her LV bag.
"What is this?"
Lin Fan asked with confusion. Seeing so many words gave him a headache.
Gao Lu said directly, "These are my company's sales contracts. Yesterday, I sold all the company's shares to you for one yuan."
Lin Fan was shocked. "One yuan? Your company is worth hundreds of millions, isn't it? Are you crazy?"
"I want a divorce!"
Gao Lu laid out her thoughts. "With this company in your hands, it's no longer my property. Even if Wang Kun that bastard bothers me, he can only get fifty cents."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Alright, I'll give the company back to you after you're divorced," Lin Fan said.
Gao Lu shook her head and playfully said, "I'm all yours, what's a company? Consider it a reward for your good performance last night."
Lin Fan chuckled. "Then I'm at a huge loss, aren't I?"
"What loss?"
Xia Xue came in with fragrant dishes, asking casually.
She had been heavily intoxicated last night and slept soundly, unaware of what had happened downstairs.
"Nothing, we were just telling jokes," Lin Fan said with a laugh.
The three began to eat.
Gao Lu's company was involved in aquaculture and greenhouse cultivation.
Lin Fan was worried. Even if the Golden Silkworm Gu had turned over all the land, it was the wrong season to plant anything.
Now, with Gao Lu's greenhouse base, the problem was immediately solved.
"Gao Lu, go back and organize the technical and capital investment for modifying the greenhouse base, as well as the detailed matters of the farm. I'll help you become richer and also help the villagers get rich."
After breakfast, Lin Fan went to the clinic.
Gao Lu drove to her company to organize these things for him.
"You bastard! Why are you so late?"
As soon as Lin Fan arrived at the clinic, Luo Qiqi rushed up, furious, and started hitting and kicking him.
"I'll take care of you sooner or later."
Lin Fan pinched Luo Qiqi's cheeks and pulled them back and forth, only stopping when she was in tears, then he laughed and walked into the house.
A long queue had already formed outside the door, and there were also people waiting inside.
In addition to the surrounding villagers, people from the town had also come by word of mouth.
"Villagers, I have good news for you. I've managed to get the medical insurance machine approved."
Before treating patients, Lin Fan announced this news.
"This machine is very advanced. It can not only swipe medical insurance cards but also recognize ID cards placed on it. You can choose to use medical insurance or pay out-of-pocket."
"If you don't have your medical insurance card, it's okay. Those with smartphones, find Qiqi. She will help you get an online medical insurance card."
"If you haven't brought anything, just remember to bring it next time."
"For those without medical insurance, it's still the same as before. Give what you can if you have money, and no worries if you don't."
Luo Qiqi busied herself alongside, helping Lin Fan manage the queues.
"Those with medical insurance cards and smartphones, line up here with me. One by one, don't rush!"
The final statistics showed that more than half of the people had medical insurance cards, which made Lin Fan very pleased.
There were also some who hadn't applied for it, either because they missed the policy, were over the age limit, or couldn't afford the fees.
All sorts of situations existed, so Lin Fan had to charge based on circumstances, sometimes a little, sometimes for free.
"Doctor Lin, you're going to lose money treating patients like this!" a businessman from town advised.
Lin Fan chuckled heartily. "If someone is sick and has no money to treat it, and I have the ability, should I just stand by and watch them suffer?"
His words instantly drew enthusiastic applause.
"Everyone who comes to see me knows that I have a gentleman's agreement with my patients. I don't set fixed prices for consultation fees and medication. It all depends on your financial situation."
"Next."
Lin Fan called out after finishing with the businessman from town.
"I'm impressed!"
The businessman, genuinely admiring, took out twenty thousand yuan from his wallet and placed it on the table. "Today, all the medical expenses and medication costs for the poor will be covered by me, Wu Dachuan."
"I thank you on behalf of the villagers."
Lin Fan never hesitated to accept money from the wealthy and directly threw the two stacks of red bills into the drawer.
He treated patients in an orderly manner all day long, but there were too many people to finish in one day.
As dusk approached, Lin Fan's back ached from exhaustion, and Luo Qiqi could no longer stand.
"Let's stop here for today. Everyone, take your number tags and go home. Come back early tomorrow morning, and I'll prioritize seeing you."
The villagers didn't get upset for not being seen.
They thanked Lin Fan profusely and told him to rest well.
"Everyone, please take care and rest too."
After seeing everyone off, Lin Fan stretched and prepared to close the door.
"Doctor Lin!"
Just then, a young man rushed in frantically.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up. "Oh, isn't this Brother Qiang? What brings you here?"
The newcomer had red hair, a锥 (a type of pointed tool) tucked into his waist, and a row of cigarette burns on his arm.
It was Brother Qiang, the red-haired guy Lin Fan had taught a lesson to on the bus not long ago.
However, the word "Shan" carved on Brother Qiang's chest with a knife now had a new mark over it, covered by a red "x".
"Doctor Lin, please save my sister!"
Brother Qiang dropped to his knees before Lin Fan with a thud, grabbing his leg tightly, tears and snot streaming down his face.
He cried so sadly that his snot and tears were all smeared on Lin Fan's pants.
"Get up first."
Lin Fan was a little disgusted. He didn't have a good impression of such street thugs.
"I won't get up!"
Brother Qiang stubbornly shook his head. "Doctor Lin, I know we had a misunderstanding before. I was a scoundrel, you can do whatever you want to me."
"But my sister is innocent!"
"If you don't save her, she's dead!"
