After being humiliated twice in a row, You Long showed no signs of shame, and instead continued to shamelessly challenge Liu Zixuan!
This really takes a lot of courage. If it were someone with a thinner skin, they would have found a hole to crawl into long ago. They'd avoid Liu Zixuan in the future!
Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Liu Zixuan grinned: "Come to think of it, this You Long is quite a character!"
"Very peculiar." Liu Ruyan asked puzzledly: "Then why do you want to compete with him?"
"We're about to settle down in Ghost Wood City. With you all handling the Shumei lingerie business, I naturally have to work as a doctor. And since a doctor can't set up a clinic inside a lingerie store, why not take the ready-made opportunity from You Long's place!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's fingers, which were playing with her phone, suddenly trembled a bit, and she secretly prayed for You Long not to be driven to jump off a building by Liu Zixuan!
In no time, they arrived at the entrance of a clinic named Huichun Hall.
Getting out of the car, Liu Zixuan immediately took a liking to the clinic.
Located at a corner intersection in a bustling area, the shop was not small, about 300 square meters in total, perfectly meeting his requirements.
Smiling at You Long, he said, "Your clinic is not bad, really not bad!"
"Jealous, huh?" You Long sneered, "Let me tell you, even if this place doesn't run as a clinic, just renting it out will ensure I won't worry about food and drink. It's a prime location!"
"What a pity... what a pity!" Liu Zixuan smacked his lips.
"Pity about what?"
"Pity that this place is about to become mine." Liu Zixuan shrugged.
"Talking big!"
You Long snorted disdainfully: "Compared to me, a top medical student, you're far behind!"
"Well, let's find out then!" Liu Zixuan spread his hands and laughed.
Saying so, You Long had already opened the clinic's door and said to Liu Zixuan, "Let's wait here. In less than five minutes, patients will come. We'll find four patients with the same condition and see who can cure them first and have the patients satisfied. Whoever does wins!"
"Alright." Liu Zixuan was unfazed, having never feared a medical skill challenge before!
Not to mention dealing with a bragging guy like You Long!
Indeed, the location here was excellent, and maybe You Long's prior treatments were decent too, as in no time, five or six patients came over.
"Doctor You, last time I came, you were closed!"
"Sorry, I was handling some minor matters. What seems to be the problem?" You Long asked.
"Heatstroke, I took some medicine but it's not effective," the person replied.
You Long nodded and looked at the patients beside him: "Folks, today's treatment here is a bit special!"
The crowd was puzzled; what could be special about the treatment?
You Long explained with a smile: "Another doctor, of unknown background, came to challenge my medical skill today. So, we plan to find four patients with the same condition and have both of us treat them simultaneously. Whoever treats theirs first and receives positive feedback from the patient wins."
"So, I hope everyone cooperates. Today's treatments are free, please help us witness this!"
"No doubt, Doctor You is the best,"
"Indeed, even the attending physician at the city hospital pales in comparison to Doctor You Long!"
"This competition is unnecessary!"
The surrounding crowd started discussing. Most had been treated there before, so they were aware of You Long's abilities!
As for the stranger Liu Zixuan, they naturally didn't have much faith in him!
Hearing this, You Long shot a smug look at Liu Zixuan: "Did you hear that?"
Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly: "So what if I did? We'll only know after the competition!"
"Alright. I'll make sure your loss stings a bit more."
Having been humiliated twice previously by Liu Zixuan, You Long swore to win this time, and was confident of victory.
Just like the person said earlier, even the attending physicians at the city hospital weren't as good as him, so why fear this unknown Liu Zixuan?
In no time, around thirty to forty people gathered, some to seek treatment and others to watch the spectacle.
Such a hot day unsurprisingly attracts many onlookers!
You Long said to Liu Zixuan: "You don't seem to have come from a legitimate institution, so I'll lower the difficulty; let's stick to common illnesses."
Liu Zixuan laughed: "Whatever! As long as you know it, I can handle it!"
"Don't boast yet, kid." You Long snorted: "Common illnesses can be the trickiest to treat, needing both speed and patient comfort!
Liu Zixuan: "Enough with the talk, let's start."
"Fine, since you're eager to lose, I'll oblige." You Long asked the crowd: "It's summer now, and many are suffering from heatstroke. Let's pick four severe heatstroke patients. These four won't have to pay any fees, and everyone else today will be charged half-price!"
You Long's confidence was evident, making him more generous.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was intrigued, and soon four were chosen.
These four had slightly flushed faces, dry lips, with beads of hot sweat on their foreheads.
Their noses wrinkled slightly, a sign of stomach discomfort.
Such were the symptoms of heatstroke.
"Hey, there's everything you need in my clinic, you can grab whatever medicine you need!" You Long said.
Liu Zixuan shook his head and simply had Liu Ruyan buy some bottles of ice water and some hawthorn from a nearby supermarket.
"Ice water? Hawthorn?" Seeing these items, You Long suddenly mocked: "Do you even have medical skills? Treating people without any medicine?"
"Yeah, what's with this person, doesn't he know he's playing with our health?"
"I think he's a fraud, not a real doctor; what doctor doesn't use medicine?"
"Hey, can you even do this? Don't make me worse!"
Not just the patients but also the onlookers expressed significant doubts about Liu Zixuan's approach.
Liu Zixuan ignored them and turned to the patients he was about to treat: "Rest assured, using only ice water and hawthorn, even if not cured, it won't harm your body."
"Let him try," Liu Ruyan chimed in, "I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised."
Her words had their effect, and the two patients agreed to proceed.
You Long shot Liu Zixuan a provoking look: "Go ahead. With so many witnesses here, let's see how you embarrass yourself!"
