Chapter 513 - 238: Old Zhao’s Secret, There’s Hope for the Surgical Equipment (2)
"Thank you, Boss! I will definitely work hard and cherish this job!"
At least she hadn’t let success get to her head.
She quickly thanked Li Jingsheng.
The two signed a labor contract on the spot, and she became the fifth employee of the clinic.
Unknowingly, as the clinic rapidly developed and expanded, it began to have some semblance of an established entity.
He wanted to hire another certified doctor so he could concentrate on improving his medical skills, which was the foundation.
Two nurses were enough.
For doctors, he only planned to hire one more, but if there was a highly skilled doctor, the more, the merrier.
However, unless he figured out a way to offer high salaries, such doctors wouldn’t consider working at a small clinic.
"Meng Luo, tell me your clothing sizes. I’ll order you a couple of uniforms."
The nurse uniforms didn’t have to be any particular style.
Sunshine Clinic used standard designs, with the name Sunshine Clinic embroidered on the front when purchased.
Some private hospitals tried to attract patients by dressing nurses in tight skirts with pink sleeves, basically using beautiful women to lure in customers.
Li Jingsheng never engaged in such shady activities.
He preferred to do things properly.
The clinic competed on quality and price; if it couldn’t treat illnesses, the presence of numerous beautiful women wouldn’t help.
After handling the clinic’s affairs, he checked the time; it was already 7:37 PM. Busy days always passed so quickly.
After locking up, he intended to grab some food first.
As he passed the breakfast shop, he instinctively glanced at the Sunshine 2 Clinic across the street. The shutter door was still pulled down, and the seal had long been torn off. There was a rental advertisement on the door.
But despite the time passed, no one had rented it.
Someone died there; it was considered very unlucky.
Anyone originally considering renting the space would immediately abandon the idea once they heard the situation.
People often fail to see the cliff ahead.
Even when danger looms, some can only admire the beautiful view atop the opposite mountain, taking a step forward and ending up crushed at the bottom.
The landlady’s nephew invested at least seventy to eighty thousand to open that shop.
This didn’t even include the rent.
Someone died due to malpractice, and the compensation required would be horrifying.
The combined losses could make him cry for most of his life, then his medical license got revoked, ending his medical career.
Whether he would be sentenced was still uncertain.
Doctors responsible for deaths due to malpractice are rarely sentenced unless there’s gross negligence. It usually results in suspension, revocation of licenses, and compensation to the victim’s family.
"Hmph, trying to take Sunshine Clinic’s fruit? Without asking around about Sunshine Clinic’s status on Old Street of South City now."
Whenever Li Jingsheng passed by, he felt satisfied once more.
Back then, when the landlady took back the storefront, and then those scoundrels tried to steal Sunshine Clinic’s spotlight, it was really disgusting.
Now, one ended up in a quagmire, and the other fell off a cliff, both very miserable.
The storefronts on this street were usually in high demand.
But after someone died there, nobody dared to rent, resulting in significant losses due to vacancy.
When Li Jingsheng rented, it was 8000 a month.
Meaning a month vacant would lose at least 8000 yuan.
In reality, the rent increased annually.
A conscientious landlord might only raise it by 5%, but for someone like that landlady, who lived off rent, played cards, and shopped, the increment depended on her mood.
When Li Jingsheng renewed the lease, even a 10% increase was considered fair.
Tonight he planned to have a simple meal again.
He never had high demands on food or clothing.
After all, he was a child from the countryside who had endured many hardships. Even with money now, he wouldn’t think of being extravagant or wasteful.
"Brother Li, Brother Li!"
A luxury car drove by and then stopped, the window rolled down.
Boss Zhao sat in the driver’s seat.
Nobody else was inside.
Seeing Boss Zhao’s slicked-back hair and impressive attire, it was evident he wasn’t heading home. He must be going to a social event or meeting a mistress.
"Old Zhao, where are you off to enjoy yourself?"
Li Jingsheng’s perception of Boss Zhao had completely changed.
Now, he truly had the power to crush Boss Zhao.
But it wasn’t necessary; Boss Zhao had become very cooperative, constantly assisting Li Jingsheng diligently, and his presence deterred nine out of ten people from opening clinics or pharmacies in the area.
Old Street of South City needed such a talent.
Boss Zhang of People’s Pharmacy appeared jovial but was similarly ruthless.
However, his methods and social experience paled in comparison to Boss Zhao, and his actions weren’t as ruthless.
Old Zhao, when working for the powerful, was more obsequious than a lapdog.
But to the weak or outsiders, he was ruthless with a smiling face, making him highly unpredictable.
"Hehe, at my age, what’s the point of meddling? Where are you headed? I’ll give you a lift!"
"I’m going to that little alley over there, you go on with your business!"
Li Jingsheng gestured towards the street packed with food stalls.
"You’re a multimillionaire big boss now. Why eat there? I’ll treat you to Jidong Restaurant, get in!"
"I appreciate the offer, but I prefer simple food. You go ahead!"
Li Jingsheng waved him off.
"Okay then, I mean, you’re such a big boss now, with all the clinics and pharmacies on Old Street of South City combined, their revenue probably doesn’t compare to yours. Splurge a little, money is meant to be spent, take better care of yourself."
