There was an endless stream of peopleing in for consultations, and the number was increasing
each day. It was even more popr than when the Sincere Medicine Center opened.
With the fame of The Li''s Hospital, the business of Sincere Medicine Center was gravely affected.
The number of patients grew lesser each day. In a week, the number of patients that went to the
Sincere Medicine Center was less than half of the previous week.
Moreover, amongst them, many patients only came to the Sincere Medicine Center because they
were unable to obtain a booking at the Li''s Hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, theyined constantly.
Some huffed that the queue here was too long and they had to wait for a long time.
Someined that the environment of Sincere Medicine Center was so bad. Patients didn''t
even have a ce toy down.
Some even said that the price of medicinal treatment in Sincere Medicine Center was much more
expensive than the Li''s Hospital.
Theseints, as expected, brought some negative impacts on the reputation of Sincere
Medicine Center.
As the situation continued to worsen, Lily couldn''t help but feel a little anxious. She asked, "Fade,
do you not care about the Li''s Hospital?"
Fade looked at the anxious Lily and poured her a ss of water. He smiled in response, "Sister Lily,
how can I care about the affairs of some other hospital? Besides, you really don''t have to worry
about it at all."
Lily frowned, "Why should I not be worried? Sincere Medicine Center''s business is deteriorating
each day, and our public reputation is also badly affected. If this continues, the Li''s Hospital will
surpass us. I am worried that our qualifications to participate in the medical reforms may be
revoked."
Fade patted Lily''s shoulders to calm her anxiety down. He chuckled, "Sister Lily, this matter really
isn''t that bad."
"Just think about it. the Li''s Hospital is clearly the result of Miss Sasha''s work. She''s trying to spend
money mindlessly without taking the costs into ount. Since this hospital is operating at a
complete loss, it will notst for long."
"But the Li family is wealthy. What if they..." Lily was still worried.
Fade smirked, "If the Li family keeps subsidizing their hospital to support its development, then that
doesn''t matter. After all, the Li''s Hospital has indeed lowered down the price of medical care, and
this has benefited more ordinary people."
"Isn''t the purpose of Jade City''s medical reform is to allow ordinary people to enjoy affordable
medical care? Now that the Li family is willing to spend money to make medical treatments
affordable, its original purpose is no longer important. After all, look at what the results have been!"
Listening to Fade''s words, Lily couldn''t help but feel startled. Her expression looked strange.
She was viewing this matter from the perspective of a businesswoman and treated the Li''s Hospital
as apetitor to Sincere Medicine Center. The growth of the other party naturally caused the rise
of Lily''s anxiety and tension.
However, Fade was looking at this matter from a doctor''s point of view. It didn''t matter to him
whether The Li''s Hospital or Sincere Medicine Center outshone theirpetitor as long as it would
bring more benefits to normal citizens.
Although Lily understood Fade''s thoughts, her instinct as a businesswoman still put a frown on her
face. She voiced her concerns, "Even so, don''t we need to do something about it? Should we watch
as the Li''s Hospital continues to grow?"
Fade shook his head, "Of course not. I just mentioned that the development and growth of the Li''s
Hospital are good for ordinary people. However, it has to be based on the fact that the Li''s Hospital
is always willing to invest so much money into the hospital''s costs."
"However, this possibility is not high. Once the Li''s Hospital has attracted enough patients and
managed to bring down itspetitors, they will raise their prices. All their previous efforts in
promoting their cheap Chinese medicine will only backfire on them. Also, it may bring about an
adverse effect on the consumers'' confidence towards Chinese Medicine."
"Such a result is definitely not something I want to see," Fade was very sure that this situation was
likely to happen.
After all, a simr situation had already urred in Sincere Medicine Center.
Sincere Medicine Center was highly praised for its extremely cheap medicine prices when it first
launched. When the price of medicines at the Li''s Hospital was lowered, many patients began to
grow dissatisfied with the service of Sincere Medicine Center.
After all, humans were selfish. This instinct would remain unchanged since it was deeply rooted in
human nature.
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Fade would obviously not sit still.
"What are you going to do?" Lily looked at Fade curiously.
Fade smiled mysteriously at Lily, "I''ll keep it a secret for now. When the timees, you will
definitely know."
"Hey, you are still keeping secrets from me!" Lily red at Fade but didn''t pry further. She stood up
and said, "I won''t ask anymore since you already have a n ready. I will go over to Fei Enterprises
Holdings, while you can continue to work here."
"Okay. Goodbye, Sister Lily," Fade bid farewell to Lily.
The next day, Sincere Medicine Center was operating as usual, but the number of patients at the
entrance of the pharmacy seemed to be lesser than the day before.
Fade wasn''t bothered about this. He greeted the shop assistants and drove out.
The car drove all the way to the airport. Fade was going there to pick up a friend, who was also
going to y arge and important part in his next n.
When he arrived at the airport, Fade quickly met with his friend.
It was a foreigner who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She had short brown hair
and a pair of sunsses on. She was slim, but her skin was tanned. In addition, she also had toned
muscles, a sign that she was someone who worked out pretty often.
"Fade, I''m so happy to see you again," The woman was passionate and greeted Fade with a smile
as soon as she saw him. She quickly pulled him into a friendly hug.
Feeling the woman''s soft but powerful muscles, Fade smiled and patted her on the back. He
laughed, "Liza, it''s been a long time."
The woman was no one else but Liza, the well-known gourmet and journalist from Micovia.
When Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc firstunched the Life Elixir Wine in Bay City, Fade and Liza had
met because of a misunderstanding. Later, Liza was convinced by the magical taste and medical
effects of the Life Elixir Wine introduced by Fade. Later on, Fade even managed to cure Liza''s
teacher, Dous, who was also a well- known gourmet.
As such, Liza felt very grateful towards Fade. After hearing that Fade needed her help, she
immediately rushed to Jade City.
Fade escorted Liza into the car. Then, he got into the car as well and started the engine.
In the car, Liza asked, "Fade, where are we going now? Shall we go directly to your pharmacy?"
Fade grinned, "Don''t worry about the pharmacy. Liza, you are my precious and noble guest, so how
can I neglect you? First of all, I''ll have to bring you around for some lunch."
Liza smiled while patting her stomach, "That''s true. The meal on the ne was so unptable that I
was about to throw up."
"I''m afraid there''s no such airne meal in the world that can satisfy your tastebuds yet," Fade
joked. He asked her, "By the way, Liza, do you have any preferences or diet restrictions? I''m asking
someone to look for a suitable restaurant in Jade City."
Upon mentioning this, Liza seemed to have thought of something. She pped her hands together
and said, "Speaking of which, I know of a pretty nice restaurant here, so let''s go there!"
