From Sidekick to Bigshot - Chapter 1384 - Challenge From the Zhang Family

This was especially the case because Lahaisen Hospital charged the patient based on a percentage of their total wealth. This meant some ordinary civilians had an opportunity to receive treatment from Lahaisen Hospital.

On the other hand, the Zhang family charged a fixed price for everyone. This meant ordinary civilians generally were unable to afford their treatment.

When the Zhang family left, Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi walked into Qin Chuan’s ward.

Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi walked in on Qin Chuan’s mother discussing with Qin Yufan whether to let Jian Yiling or the Zhang family look after Qin Chuan.

When they noticed Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi, the two of them immediately quietened down. They seemed rather embarrassed.

!!

As she didn’t want Zhai Yunsheng to be angry, Qin Chuan’s mother hurriedly explained to Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, this only became a topic of conversation because my son knows the Zhang family personally. When they heard the news of my son’s sickness, they came to visit and offered to look after him.”

Qin Chuan’s mother did not want Zhai Yunsheng to misunderstand that they contacted the Zhang family because they didn’t trust Jian Yiling’s medical expertise.

Zhai Yunsheng did not particularly care. If Qin Chuan’s family did not want Jian Yiling to be his doctor, it would save Jian Yiling a lot of time and energy.

After all, being a doctor was very tiring. He was still somewhat reluctant to let his wife suffer for other males.

Zhai Yunsheng turned to look at Qin Chuan who was lying on the hospital bed. There was no hatred or mockery in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at someone who had no relationship or connection with him at all.

Qin Chuan’s eyes were equally as calm.

There was no resentment or dissatisfaction even though the two of them were at odds with each other a while ago.

At this moment, Jian Yiling walked in with Qin Chuan’s attending doctor.

Earlier on, they were discussing Qin Chuan’s condition and treatment plan.

As soon as Jian Yiling walked in, the Zhang family also entered the ward.

The man leading the group was roughly twenty-eight years old. He was 1.8 meters in height and wore casual clothes. Even though his looks were not outstanding, he carried a special aura around him.

“Miss Jian, I’ve heard a lot about you. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Xin and I’m the 128th descendant of the Zhang family.”

As Zhang Xin said this, he smiled and reached out to shake Jian Yiling’s hand.

On behalf of Jian Yiling, Zhai Yunsheng shook hands with Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin smiled and commented: “And you’re Mr. Zhai right? I’ve seen the two of you on television. I truly envy your marriage.”

Then, Zhang Xin turned around and said to Jian Yiling: “As the Zhang family has previously been indebted to Mr. Qin, we wish to help him during his times of need. Therefore, I would like to work together with Dr. Jian. Would that be possible?”

“I’m a doctor trained in Western medicine whereas your family focuses on traditional Chinese medicine. Our research direction and views will not be unanimous,” Jian Yiling replied calmly.

“It’s true that they’re rather different. However, that doesn’t prevent us from treating Mr. Qin together. In fact, by doing so, we might be able to know whether Lahaisen Hospital’s medical skills are better or the Zhang family’s medical skills are better,” Zhang Xin said with a bright and dazzling smile on his face.

This was what Zhang Xin wanted.

He wanted to use Qin Chuan’s condition to compete against Jian Yiling. By doing so, he could regain the Zhang family’s status and reputation in the medical industry. He wanted to prove that the Zhang family was better than Lahaisen Hospital.

When Jian Yiling understood what Zhang Xin wanted, she decisively refused: “I won’t stop you from looking after Qin Chuan. However, I won’t treat a patient’s wellbeing as a competition.”

Zhang Xin anticipated this answer from Jian Yiling. He said nonchalantly: “That’s alright as well. If Dr. Jian doesn’t want to compete, you just need to issue a public statement which admits Lahaisen Hospital’s medical skills are inferior to the Zhang family’s.”
