Chapter 774: Chapter 360: Buying a Bike, Saying Hello_2

Li Jingsheng said earnestly.

"Really? Your clinic income is quite good now, and your salary isn’t low either, so why not buy a car? If you don’t have enough money, I can sponsor a bit."

Having a rich girlfriend really solves the worries of cars and houses.

She didn’t know that Li Jingsheng was making several tens of thousands a day now, and could afford not just a Mercedes or BMW, but even more expensive luxury cars.

"I’m thinking that money is needed everywhere these days, so we can save a little where we can. Buying a bicycle not only makes parking convenient but also keeps me in shape. Moreover, as the ancients say, diligence refines the body, thrift cultivates virtue. There’s no harm in being a bit frugal."

He explained his reasoning for buying a bicycle.

Right now, he had to save up money to acquire the yard at the clinic.

After sorting that out, he would need to upgrade some of the clinic’s medical equipment and save money to marry Ou Qinglan.

However, the largest current expense was purchasing the two clinic buildings.

Even though Dean Fu and Director Hua had said they would lend him money, it would be best to solve it himself.

"Alright then, a husband’s duty is to lead, and a wife’s duty is to support. You’ll be the head of the family in the future, so you make the decisions, and I’ll quietly support you from behind."

She readily agreed with Li Jingsheng’s idea of buying a bicycle.

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for! Let’s go, let’s head over now; the shop might still be open."

Li Jingsheng hugged her, and they quickened their pace.

"Buying it now?"

"Of course!"

Li Jingsheng had checked the map while eating, and there were two bicycle shops nearby.

Luckily, the shops hadn’t closed yet.

In the end, he bought a Forever brand bicycle, a very ordinary one, with a rear seat.

The price was a bit over four hundred, less than five hundred yuan.

"Qinglan, hop on!"

"Alright! I haven’t ridden a bicycle since I was a kid, don’t pedal too fast!"

She was as happy as a little girl, sitting on the back, holding onto Li Jingsheng’s waist.

Cycling was noticeably faster than walking.

Li Jingsheng hadn’t exercised for a while, panting and a bit wobbly on his feet.

He brought her straight back to the clinic.

"Boss, why are you riding a bicycle?"

Xiang Cangsong, dutifully guarding the gate, widened his eyes upon seeing Li Jingsheng return on a bicycle.

When he saw the pretty girl on the back seat, he thought to himself, "The boss is something else; even riding a bicycle, he can attract such a beautiful girl."

"Riding a bicycle is great, it also keeps you fit."

Li Jingsheng rode into the clinic’s courtyard and parked his bike outside the office.

"I need to buy a lock tomorrow, wouldn’t want a thief snatching it."

A brand new bicycle can easily attract thieves if left unlocked.

Luckily, the clinic now had a security guard, so it should be safe.

He quite enjoyed the experience of cycling.

"There’s a hardware store on my street. Tomorrow I’ll buy you a lock!"

Ou Qinglan said after hearing that.

"No need, if you buy something for me, you always pick the expensive stuff. Any lock will do, I know the hardware store owner on that street, I’ll have him recommend one tomorrow."

Li Jingsheng was familiar with many shop owners on that street.

After all, everyone gets sick sometimes.

Previously, when Sunshine Clinic had no reputation, few on the street sought him for treatment.

Even the owner of the bun shop across the street would secretly go to Quick Recovery Clinic for drips when sick.

The couple from the neighboring barber shop once hid their cold medicine purchases so Li Jingsheng wouldn’t see.

That’s how business people are; they were afraid that if Li Jingsheng saw them going elsewhere for treatment, he’d get upset, and wouldn’t patronize their shops anymore.

So, they intentionally hid it from Li Jingsheng.

Now that Sunshine Clinic is well-known, Li Jingsheng had gained quite a reputation, and they all greeted him with smiles, seeking his care not only for themselves but also for family members.

All accompanied by flattering smiles and kind words.

This is true human nature.

...

Early the next morning, while Li Jingsheng was having breakfast, Han Siying came running over to tell him, "Master, the three-year-old boy with the stomach ache and diarrhea from yesterday is back. The child’s father specifically wants to see you."

He had to go to the Second Hospital for consultation today and couldn’t be at his own clinic.

"The child diagnosed with hypertension yesterday?"

"Yes, that’s them."

Li Jingsheng glanced at his phone, there was about half an hour before work started.

"Didn’t the child’s parents take him to a big hospital yesterday? Why come back to our clinic?"

"The child’s father said the treatment at the big hospital wasn’t effective and still wanted you to treat him."

"Is Dr. Shao here yet?"

Li Jingsheng thought the child’s condition might not be straightforward.

He could first conduct a preliminary diagnosis, and if the cause was identified, he’d let Dr. Shao handle the follow-up.

Otherwise, the child couldn’t be treated, and he’d have to advise the family to continue seeking help at a big hospital.

Some families and patients are often indecisive when seeking medical treatment.

And there are quite a few patients like this.

In short, they’re quite skeptical and not easily convinced by others.

"Dr. Shao usually arrives about twenty minutes early. It might be a little while yet."

"Alright then, first take the child’s temperature and blood pressure, find out the current situation, and what treatment was done at the big hospital. I’ll check on him after I finish my meal."
