Chapter 1087 1085: The Effects of Blood
"Don't worry, old man, soon I'll return you a lively person," Su Chen said confidently.
Lou Xiuying was just an ordinary person.
The healing effects of Su Chen's blood on ordinary people were exponentially more powerful than on Martial Artists.
No matter how severe Lou Xiuying's injuries were, he could save her.
"The line's open, the call's connected!" Suddenly, in the meeting room, Han Qiuyun excitedly raised her phone.
"Great, please have him come over quickly," a hint of joy appeared on Chu Man's face.
Han Qiuyun immediately explained the situation over the phone.
Then, her expression slowly darkened.
"What's wrong, Director Han?" Everyone's eyes were on Han Qiuyun.
Because this was their only lifeline now.
If they couldn't grasp it.
Jiangdu Private Hospital could very likely be finished.
"He said..." Han Qiuyun looked troubled.
"What exactly did he say? Hurry up and tell us, Director Han, are you trying to make us anxious? Right now, time is life!"
"Yeah, Director Han, call him over immediately, money is not an issue," Chu Man also added.
As long as Jiangdu Private Hospital could be saved, no matter how much money was spent.
She was willing.
However, Han Qiuyun hesitantly said, "He said he could help, but... he wants to charge a ten million medical fee."
"What!"
Everyone's eyes widened at Han Qiuyun's words.
Ten million!
That's not a small amount.
Even for Jiangdu Private Hospital.
It's a substantial sum.
"How could this be? I've met that young man, he's a pretty decent person. Back at the hospital, he saved someone for free, and later, he even helped Han Qiuyun set up the traditional medicine clinic."
"Yeah, why is he asking for so much money?"
"..."
Chu Man also looked displeased and said, "Isn't this too exorbitant?"
After Chu Man finished speaking, Han Qiuyun's face turned even darker.
"He, he said now he wants twenty million!"
Twenty million!
It was just ten million.
In just a few seconds, it had jumped to twenty million.
In Chu Man's heart, she still somewhat doubted whether Su Chen had such great skills.
Hearing Han Qiuyun say he had doubled the price.
Her expression turned incredibly unpleasant.
She stomped in her high heels to stand before Han Qiuyun, "Director Han, give me the phone, let me speak to him!"
Han Qiuyun handed the phone to Chu Man.
Chu Man first calmed her somewhat agitated feelings before speaking, "It was just ten million, why is it twenty million now?"
A teasing voice came through the receiver, "The patient's condition is getting worse, the chance of saving them is getting lower, naturally the fee is getting higher. If you chat with me any longer, I'll charge a hundred million."
A hundred million!
Chu Man almost stumbled.
This guy really knows how to demand exorbitant prices.
Private hospitals can indeed come up with a hundred million.
But taking out a hundred million would undeniably have a massive impact on a private hospital.
Even if there was no impact at all, she, as the director, wouldn't be able to keep her position.
"Mr. Su Chen, could you please save the person first?" Chu Man said.
If Su Chen really could heal them.
Then they could discuss the price with Su Chen afterward.
If Su Chen couldn't heal them.
Then there would be no need to pay the money.
Su Chen sneered in response, "When your hospital treats people or performs surgery, do you treat the illness first and pay afterward?"
Chu Man was at a loss for words.
Indeed, in Huaxia, be it public hospitals or private hospitals.
All of them require payment before treatment.
It's not that hospitals are too cold-hearted.
But this precedent cannot be casually set.
Because once it's set.
Then people would know they could get treated first and pay later, and everyone would flock over.
It's undeniable that in today's Huaxia, many people can't afford to get sick.
The expensive medical costs make countless people wait for death.
If a hospital allowed treatment before payment.
Those who couldn't afford treatment would swarm in.
Ultimately leading to the hospital's closure.
Faced with Su Chen's question, Chu Man didn't know how to respond.
A few seconds later, Chu Man finally spoke, "Although we have no precedent of treating first and paying later at our hospital, we donate millions annually to charity organizations!"
Su Chen chuckled, "Then consider it a donation to charity."
"But, but this is way too expensive!"
Two million, is indeed too expensive.
One could say, except for some particularly important or wealthy individuals.
Most people's lives aren't worth two million.
While it's said that life is priceless.
When you're broke.
Even a minor illness could claim your life!
"Too expensive, huh? You can find someone else," an indifferent voice came from the phone.
Chu Man tried to control her emotions.
If Su Chen wasn't possibly the only chance to heal the patient, she'd have lost her temper by now.
"It's impossible for the hospital to come up with two million, would this work? I'll give you my annual salary as compensation," Chu Man said.
"So, how much is your annual salary?" Su Chen asked.
"After taxes, over seven hundred and ninety thousand."
"Wow, not bad, you can earn seventy-nine thousand a year! But isn't that a bit too little?"
"Mr. Su, I really want to ask for your help, and moreover, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Think about it, you could have saved a life, but you chose to stand by. Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Chu Man said through gritted teeth.
"Every year, many people die in your hospital because they can't afford treatment, doesn't your conscience hurt?" Su Chen replied.
Chu Man realized.
When it came to rhetoric, she was no match for the man on the other end of the line.
Not only was she not a match, she was far off.
