Chapter 898: Chapter 439: The Team Takes Shape, Welcoming the First Premium Client

"Haha, I can tell you’re praising our Sunshine Clinic. I feel a bit relieved now. I was worried that after Teacher Yani came, she would find our clinic too simple and wouldn’t want to visit again."

Li Jingsheng said with a smile.

"Dr. Li, you’re so humorous! This is the only clinic I’ve seen that’s so busy since I returned to the country."

"It’s getting late. Let me treat you to dinner first, and we can chat while eating! After dinner, we have to rush to the People’s Hospital. Time is quite tight."

"Okay, I’ll follow Dr. Li’s arrangements!"

She nodded happily.

"Meng Luo, have you finished the handover?"

Li Jingsheng turned to look towards the infusion room.

During lunch, he had already spoken to Meng Luo about staying late with him for overtime, with additional pay, and she readily agreed.

When Meng Luo heard that Li Jingsheng was taking her to participate in a colonoscopy at the People’s Hospital, she was very happy.

For any nurse or doctor, having the opportunity to improve their medical skills is something everyone is very willing to do.

"Almost done!"

She responded from inside.

Soon, Meng Luo walked out of the infusion room.

"Is the handover complete?"

"Yes, it’s done!"

She nodded.

Li Jingsheng walked to the door of the infusion room and said to Tang Ping, who was busy inside, "Sister Tang, I’ll leave the clinic’s matters to you."

"No problem, you guys go ahead! I can handle it here, there aren’t many patients left anyway."

Tang Ping always had an attitude of tirelessly working without complaint.

"Siying, thank you for working a little overtime today and helping Sister Tang with some things you can handle."

"At your command!" Han Siying was really commendable in this respect.

Whenever she was assigned tasks outside of work, she never refused.

"Master, take me along to learn during a colonoscopy next time! I can assist you with the scope; I should be able to handle it."

She also wanted to improve.

When Li Jingsheng went to the People’s Hospital to perform a colonoscopy on a patient, the doctors and nurses at the clinic saw it as a very honorable thing.

It’s considered a prestigious task.

"I’m afraid I can’t take you along for now. Once things stabilize, I’ll bring you along next time!"

Li Jingsheng was just starting and hadn’t been able to gather a team yet, so it was naturally impossible to bring an apprentice along.

"You said it, okay!"

"Yes, I won’t forget you!"

Li Jingsheng nodded to her, then went to eat with Meng Luo and Yani.

Since it was the first time collaborating with Yani, and he was the one who invited her over, he naturally couldn’t skimp.

He prepared to treat Yani to a nice dinner.

"Yani, do you have an anesthesia toolbox? There are life monitors provided over there. I estimate that we might need to supply the medicines ourselves when the time comes."

"I have it, it’s in the car trunk."

"Great, bring the toolbox along later. The required medicines and supplies will be provided by our clinic in the future."

It turned out Yani drove over.

And her car was quite high-end, a black Cadillac.

It seemed her family was quite well-off.

One could tell from her demeanor and clothing as well.

It makes sense; she worked as an anesthesiologist abroad with a decent income. Her husband couldn’t be doing poorly either; he might even be more successful.

In such a family, buying a slightly better car would be no pressure at all.

After the three finished their meal, Yani volunteered to drive Li Jingsheng and Meng Luo to the People’s Hospital when she saw that Li Jingsheng was about to hail a cab.

On the way there, Li Jingsheng experienced what it truly means to be a female driver.

She drove as if she was racing, speeding quickly, weaving in and out of traffic. Once on the highway, she floored the gas pedal.

The best word to describe it: fierce.

If she behaved this way in surgery, Li Jingsheng would really hesitate to cooperate with her.

"Teacher Yani, do you normally drive as aggressively as this? Aren’t you afraid of damaging such a nice car?"

Meng Luo, sitting in the passenger seat, looked a bit pale.

She was probably trying to subtly remind Yani to drive slower.

After all, if an accident happened, everyone could get injured or worse.

"Yes! If the road conditions allow, I always try to maximize the car’s mobility. As for worrying about damaging the car by being too aggressive, it never really concerns me. Abroad, unless it’s a top-tier luxury car, ordinary family cars like this are just toys. They’re merely tools for transportation."

Yani said nonchalantly.

It’s clear that persuading her is pretty hopeless given the situation.

Since they hadn’t known each other long and weren’t that close, Li Jingsheng naturally didn’t say much more.

A little over half an hour later, the three arrived safely at the People’s Hospital.

Even on the way, Lian Tao had already sent messages to urge them.

Li Jingsheng, along with his two assistants, went directly to Lian Tao’s office.

"Lian Tao, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Li Jingsheng knocked and entered, finding Lian Tao flipping through an immunocytology textbook.

Perhaps faced with another difficult case to diagnose.

"Oh, and you’ve brought two such lovely female assistants! Please, have a seat."

Lian Tao invited the three to sit down with a smile.

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Lian of the Gastroenterology and Pulmonary Medicine departments at the People’s Hospital. This is my surgical nurse Meng Luo, and this is the anesthesiologist Yani."

Li Jingsheng introduced the three to each other.

After some brief pleasantries, Lian Tao began discussing business.

"The patient’s preparations for the procedure are complete. Our department head’s opinion is that you need to sign a service agreement with the patient, and the payment from the patient will be directly transferred to the account you provide."

The implication was clear; the People’s Hospital would not bear any responsibility.

If something went wrong, Li Jingsheng would be the one to bear all the responsibility.

"You mentioned this matter at noon, and I’ve already brought all the clinic’s stamps, copies of licenses, and so on. The agreement has also been prepared. However, there’s one issue: my clinic currently doesn’t qualify for colonoscopy procedures!"

The medical procedures in the country are currently like this.

It’s not up to the doctors to do as they wish.

Despite Li Jingsheng having an exceptionally high level of skill in colonoscopies, even higher than all the doctors at People’s Hospital, he personally does not possess the qualification to perform colonoscopies independently yet.

Sunshine Clinic does not have this qualification either.

Therefore, he cannot perform the procedure on the patient.

Otherwise, it would be a violation.

If anyone were to pursue this matter, he would be penalized.

"This is indeed a problem."

Lian Tao frowned slightly, needing to think of a way to help Li Jingsheng resolve it.

"I’ve thought about it, and there might be a feasible solution." Li Jingsheng came with a solution in mind.

"What solution?"

"Form a medical team and invite you to join my team. This way, I would have the qualification to perform a colonoscopy on the patient." Li Jingsheng proposed a solution.

It’s not that he was plotting against Lian Tao.

This was the simplest and most feasible solution he could think of.

Conducting a colonoscopy under Lian Tao’s ’guidance’ would be entirely problem-free.

"Hmm... This solution is indeed feasible. It’s just that I am a doctor at the People’s Hospital, and there are still some public opinion risks."

Lian Tao had some reservations about this plan.

If this matter were to be exposed one day, it would be easy for the outside world to label it as Lian Tao intentionally forming a team to charge high medical service fees.

By then, both the People’s Hospital and Lian Tao would be embroiled in significant controversy.

"What we’re doing is genuinely considering the patient’s interests, not something underhanded. Even if questioned by public opinion, we should be able to justify ourselves. If we organize some evidence, the public opinion risk for you and People’s Hospital would become very small."

"Alright, for now, this is the only way to proceed. We’ve already negotiated with the patient side, and if we suddenly tell them it can’t be done, I’m afraid they would never trust us again."

Lian Tao agreed.

At this point, Li Jingsheng’s team successfully brought in two top doctors.

Both Lian Tao and Yani were brought into the team.

"Our medical team will temporarily consist of the four of us, and it will be named the Sunshine Medical Corps, with me serving as the team leader. What do you think?"

Li Jingsheng took the opportunity to create the prototype of the medical team.

"I wholeheartedly agree! We’re good brothers, and I’ll certainly fully support you in developing this business. With your colonoscopy skills, it’s truly unfortunate if you can’t take on such high-end work due to qualifications."

Lian Tao was the first to agree.

"I fully support it!" Meng Luo had always followed Li Jingsheng’s lead, and she was secretly pleased to join the newly formed advanced medical team.

"Fine."

Yani also expressed support.

She was in a position of obligation since she was well-treated by Li Jingsheng, who promised her a certain reward for every colonoscopy completed, so naturally, she supported Li Jingsheng in this undertaking.

Since all three agreed, the next step was to talk with the patient.

In the single-patient room, the patient was still on the phone, busy directing business operations.

A young and beautiful female secretary was assisting beside him.

The other two appeared to be family members.

The lady looking around fifty years old might be the patient’s wife.

An ordinary colonoscopy does not usually require hospitalization.

It can be scheduled and performed as an outpatient procedure.

For someone with abundant financial resources, however, safety was the priority, and so general principles didn’t apply.

"Mr. Lan, this is the colonoscopy expert I recommended, Dr. Li Jingsheng. Not only is his colonoscopy skill top-notch, but his bone-setting techniques are also among the best in Jiangli City."

When introducing Li Jingsheng, Lian Tao made no qualms about it.

He directly used the high-sounding expert title.

"A very young man, I see!"

Mr. Lan was a middle-aged man, forty-seven or forty-eight years old, with impeccably combed black hair.

For entrepreneurs like him at this age, it’s typical to have gray at the temples or even white hair on the top of their head.

No boss has an easy time of it.

They all carry immense pressures.

Still, the wealth they accumulate is enormous, far beyond what ordinary people can earn in a lifetime.

Mr. Lan’s hair was likely dyed.

It indicated that he placed great importance on his appearance.

"Boss, it seems Dr. Li here has even been on the news. His skills in bone-setting are quite renowned. As far as I know, even the family members of some officials with bone injuries seek his treatment."

The female secretary, around thirty years old, exuded elite temperament.

She appeared very competent, with particularly lively eyes.

In truth, her looks were merely above average.

A woman’s attractiveness generally consists of 30% looks, 40% grooming, and 30% temperament.

She knew how to dress well, and her temperament was exceptional, qualifying her as a true beauty.

"Oh! I have an affinity for young, accomplished doctors with real skills. Have your colonoscopy requirements been communicated to Director Lian?"

Mr. Lan inquired.

"Yes, they have. My team will definitely ensure safety and can sign a service agreement with you. If it’s just a simple colonoscopy, the fee will be three thousand yuan."

The price Li Jingsheng quoted was actually something Lian Tao had already discussed with the patient.
