The speed of Ci Shi Tang's rise in Taiwu City is jaw-dropping.
Almost overnight, the reputation of this new medical clinic spread throughout most of the city, mainly in Xiacheng District and Zhongcheng District, which have the largest population.
Countless ordinary people know that there is such a special medical clinic that not only does not charge for consultation fees, but also pays for medicine according to family circumstances. The poorer you are, the less you spend.
The most important thing is that the elixirs prescribed by Ci Shi Tang are very effective. Two or three pills can cure mild illnesses or alleviate severe ones. Although it cannot cure all diseases, it is enough to make everyone flock to it.
Therefore, in the next few days, more and more people came to Ci Shi Tang for medical consultation.
It's just that the number of number plates distributed by the medical center is limited every day. In order to get the number plate, some people camped out in front of the medical center and queued up in the middle of the night.
If it weren't for the powerful warriors guarding the medical center and the monks stationed in charge, the order would have been extremely chaotic.
As time goes by, Ci Shi Tang's reputation grows.
Although Ci Shi Tang is small in scale and receives a limited number of patients every day, its rise has inevitably touched the relevant stakeholders in Taiwu City.
"This is so unruly!"
“It’s simply unreasonable to pay for medicine according to family circumstances!”
“Doctoral consultations are free, so what else do we doctors have to eat?”
“Industry scum!”
"Master Zhu, you can't just ignore me."
"Yeah!"
In the hall of the Huichun Hall, the largest medical clinic in Taiwu City, hundreds of people gathered together, all talking with indignation.
They are doctors and shopkeepers from various medical clinics and drug stores in the city. The main purpose of gathering here today is to denounce Ci Shi Tang.
"Everyone, everyone!"
A fat man wearing a brocade robe sat on the main seat and said with a wry smile: "I understand what everyone means, but do you know? Behind the Cishi Hall is the Mo family..."
This is none other than Zhu Fengchun, the chief shopkeeper of Huichun Hall.
The Zhu family has been doctors for generations, and the Huichun Hall founded by him is extremely famous. He is also a famous doctor, so he has a high prestige in the medical profession in Taiwu City.
"So what about the Mo family!"
Before he could finish his words, a doctor immediately stood up and said, "Are we, the Zhang family in Zhongcheng, still afraid of him?"
Zhu Fengchun glanced at the other party speechlessly and continued: "Mo family, we don't have to be afraid, but you have to know that the real owner of Ci Shi Tang is not the Mo family!"
"This person's surname is Wang Mingchen. His origin is quite mysterious. He is already a transcendent immortal master at a young age. He just joined the Qingyun League not long ago. Frankly speaking, I, Old Zhu, cannot afford to offend him!"
The hall fell silent instantly, and many doctors and shopkeepers looked at each other in confusion.
Zhu Fengchun couldn't afford to offend him, so why were they willing to offend him?
Especially those who did not understand the inside story before, now immediately retreated.
"Actually, as far as I know, Ci Shi Tang only dispatches 300 numbers a day, and most of the patients treated are untouchables. Even without Ci Shi Tang, we can't make much money from them, but..."
Zhu Fengchun stood up and said worriedly: "What I'm worried about is that this Wang Chen may not be satisfied with this."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Ci Shi Tang's small efforts have touched their interests. Once it spreads on a large scale, recruits more doctors to treat patients, and opens branches, where will their livelihood be?
Are Zhu Fengchun’s worries justified?
Absolutely!
This business will be destroyed by Ci Shi Tang!
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhu, what do you think we should do?"
"Courtesy first, then attack!"
Zhu Fengchun said in a deep voice: "I'm going to check out Master Wang's words first. If he can promise not to expand the size of Cishi Hall, then we can pretend we didn't see it."
Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to be an enemy of an immortal master?
"But what if he doesn't agree!"
"Don't agree?"
A cold light flashed in Zhu Fengchun's small eyes: "Then we have to unite as one, and there is no need to use force. He needs medicinal materials to refine and sell the elixir, right?"
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
Zhu Fengchun acted quickly. After reaching a unified opinion with his colleagues, he rushed to Cishi Hall in person the next morning and asked to meet Wang Chen.
After Wang Chen heard the servant's report, he thought for a moment and said, "Ask him to wait in the side hall, I will go there later."
What was supposed to come has indeed come!
Soon, he met Zhu Fengchun in the side hall of Cishi Hall.
Wang Chen had heard about this big shopkeeper of Huichun Hall, but today was the first time he saw him in person.
What surprised him was that this big shopkeeper, who seemed to weigh three to four hundred kilograms, had innate strength!
Among the innately strong people who were so fat, Wang Chen had seen this one before, so he probably practiced some kind of special technique.
Maybe you can explode by burning calories!
"I've met Master Wang."
Facing young Wang Chen, Zhu Fengchun behaved extremely politely, even a little humble. When he smiled, his eyes were squeezed into two slits by the fat on his face: "Please forgive me for my intrusive visit today."
"You are welcome."
Wang Chen waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and asked directly: "Shopkeeper Zhu, what do you want from me?"
"Ahem!"
Zhu Fengchun coughed twice and said: "Master Wang, I admire Ci Shi Tang for giving medicine to the poor in Taiwu City. However, my colleagues in the city have some objections to this. I don't know if Gui Shi Tang will do it again in the future."
Will it expand in scale?”
"meeting."
Wang Chen replied without hesitation: "Currently, there are only five practicing doctors in Ci Shi Tang. I plan to recruit another group. There may be dozens or even hundreds."
Zhu Fengchun obviously didn't expect Wang Chen to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment before saying with a bitter smile: "Master Wang Xian, you are trying to cut off our path!"
"How about this."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Since you came to me to ask for an explanation, you must have heard the rules of our Cishi Hall. Then for your sake, I can change the rules."
Zhu Fengchun suddenly became energetic: "I would like to hear the details!"
Wang Chen said: "From now on, our Ci Shi Tang will only treat ordinary people and poor families, and we will not treat well-off families and above. Is this okay?"
Zhu Fengchun was stunned.
I have to say that Wang Chen's statement is very constructive. A large part of the income of these medical clinics comes from patients from well-off families and above.
But the number of ordinary people is the largest!
Zhu Fengchun felt unwilling to cut off such a large piece of flesh: "If we only treat poor people..."
"Shopkeeper Zhu!"
Wang Chen's face darkened: "My patience is limited!"
He has already given in a big step, but the other party not only doesn't appreciate it, but also wants to take advantage of it. This is really intolerable!
