Just like Wang Cuiping.

After hanging up, Ji Qingyan could not fall asleep either.

She also couldn’t figure out why the military would ask about Lin Yi’s identity.

Was there an inevitable connection?

Could it be that he had taken a fancy to the Lingyun Group’s big data and cloud computing?

However, it had not started to scale yet. It should not be on their radar at this point.

At around three in the morning, Ji Qingyan could no longer stand it and fell asleep.

However, this matter remained in her heart.

…

For the next two days, Lin Yi’s life was irregular.

When he didn’t get off work, he was busy at the hospital.

On the Lingyun Group’s side, Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan had also finished handling the procedures and placed Didi under the Lingyun Group.

All that remained was to set up the relocation of the headquarters.

This part of the work was messy and not very technical. Thus, Lin Yi couldn’t be bothered about it.

With Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan handling it, it was not a big problem.

On the research institute’s side, there was no progress on the photolithography machine project. There would be no major breakthrough for the time being.

Lin Yi was prepared for this. He was in no hurry.

The development of the photolithography machine was a laborious task to begin with. It would be unreasonable to demand results in such a short time.

In addition to all this, there was another piece of news that made Lin Yi a little restless. Under the vigorous outsourcing of the company, two-thirds of the three billion orders had been completed.

It would take as long as twenty to thirty days for full delivery.

He rubbed his palms together.

After all this preparation, the show was finally about to begin.

After lunch with Qiao Xin, Lin Yi looked at the system page again on the way to the emergency department. The mission progress had reached (98/100). After treating two more patients, he would get 100,000 proficiency points.

Lin Yi did some calculations. It seemed that the day after tomorrow, his next new profession would be activated.

However, Lin Yi still decided to finish his profession as a doctor first.

“Hurry up and go. Go buy some medicine with me.”

Just as he reached the entrance of the emergency center, he was surprised to hear a middle-aged man shout.

Beside the middle-aged man was a white-haired old lady.

“I’m not going. I want to go home.”

“The doctor has already prescribed medicine. How can I go home without buying medicine? What if something happens next time?!”

The middle-aged man’s roar startled everyone around him. They all looked over.

“Just a few boxes of pills will cost more than 2,000 yuan. My grandson has to spend money on his schooling. If we spend all the money on myself, where will he get the money for school?”

The old lady sat at the door, determined not to buy any medicine.

“Mom, I’m begging you. Let’s go buy some medicine. Even if it’s 20,000 yuan, I have to treat you!”

“I’m in my seventies and I don’t have many years left. If I’m going to die, so be it. Why spend the money?” Said the old lady.

“Next time, don’t bring me here to see a doctor. I haven’t even bought the medicine and I’ve already spent hundreds on just the tests. Just buy me some painkillers.”

“Mom!”

The middle-aged man fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

“I beg you, come with me to buy medicine. No matter how poor we are, we have to see a doctor.”

“Get up quickly. I definitely won’t buy the medicine. There are so many people watching. If you don’t listen, I’ll beat you up.”

Bang, bang, bang…

The middle-aged man kowtowed a few times. “I’m begging you, okay?”

“I won’t go even if you beg me,” the old lady said stubbornly. “My grandson needs money to go to school. In the future, he will need money to buy a house and marry a wife. I’m already so old. Don’t waste your money on me.”

“Brother Lin…”

Qiao Xin’s heart softened. She couldn’t stand such a scene.

“I’ll go over and take a look.”

With that, he walked toward the mother and son.

“Big Brother, what happened?”

Seeing Lin Yi and Qiao Xin coming over, the middle-aged man wiped his tears.

“At dawn this morning, my mother said that her heart wasn’t feeling good. I brought her here to see a doctor and the doctor prescribed some medicine. My mother found it expensive and refused to buy it no matter what. Please help me persuade her.”

“Have you done an electrocardiogram?”

“I did, I did.” The middle-aged man held out the ECG scan. “Here it is.”

“Brother Lin, it seems to be in its early stages,” Qiao Xin said.

Lin Yi nodded. The fact that it was in its early stages meant that early action was possible, and it wasn’t serious. As long as they paid attention to it, it wasn’t a big deal.

“What medicine did he prescribe for you?”

“Several things I couldn’t put a name to. He said I had to go to the Tianze Pharmacy by the door to get my medicine.”

He glanced at the list the middle-aged man handed him.

“Which stupid doctor prescribed this for you?”

‘Huh?’

The moment the word ‘stupid doctor’ came out, everyone nearby was dumbfounded.

Who was this young physician?

‘He started cursing right away?

‘He must have a strong background.’

“Doctor Cao prescribed it. I think he’s a director of your hospital.”

“Cao Jiawang?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s him,” the middle-aged man said. “I took a look online. He’s the chief of cardiac surgery. They say he’s good, so we asked for him.”

“This dog is a real handful.”

“Doctor, is there something wrong with the medicine?”

“It’s not just a problem, it’s a big f*cking problem,” Lin Yi said.

“In medicine, your mother’s illness is called a morning seizure. It’s not too serious. Avoid strenuous exercise. Eat more fruit and recuperate slowly. If it doesn’t work, prepare a bottle of quick-acting heart pills. You don’t have to follow this stupid prescription.”

“Really?”

“There’s no benefit in lying to you. Logically speaking, this will be more than enough,” Lin Yi said. “Remember, the next time you ask for a doctor, request Doctor Li Chuhan.”

“Understood, understood. Thank you, Doctor.”

“Mom, let’s go. We’re not buying these pills anymore. Let’s go buy some quick-acting pills.”

“Are quick-acting pills expensive?”

“Madam, the quick-acting pills cost five yuan a bottle. It’s not expensive at all,” Qiao Xin said.

“Five dollars,” the old lady said. “Then we can buy a bottle.”

For desperate patients, a doctor’s words were like an imperial edict.

Because he didn’t understand anything, he believed whatever the doctor said unconditionally.

Lin Yi’s words gave them a glimmer of hope.

“Thank you, Doctor.”

The middle-aged man bowed repeatedly, not even knowing how to thank Lin Yi.

“It’s fine.” He waved them off. “Next time, remember to request Director Li.”

“Got it, got it. Thank you.”

The middle-aged man left with his mother. Another large group rushed forward.

“Doctor, please help me take a look at my prescription. Two boxes of medicine cost more than 800 yuan. Our family can’t afford it.”

“Doctor, help me take a look. I can’t buy Xinhai Pills anywhere…”

“Doctor, please. Please help me check my prescription too.”

“And my…”

“Wait,” Lin Yi said. “There are too many of you. I can’t handle it all.”

“If you have doubts about your list, spend another couple of dozen bucks to request Director Li and ask her to check it for you.”

“Thank you, Doctor. Thank you, Doctor.”

Lin Yi nodded and hurried back to the emergency room with Qiao Xin.

“Brother Lin, calm down,” Qiao Xin comforted him.

“It’s all part of the hospital’s unspoken rules. Doctors all earn a commission. If the hospital finds out about this, you’ll be in trouble.”

“I know, I know.” Lin Yi kicked over a chair. “Those sons of b*tches!”

Seeing that Lin Yi was in a bad mood, Qiao Xin prepared to receive the patient herself.

However, before she could start, he saw Li Chuhan walk in and look at Lin Yi.

“Come with me to the director’s office.”
