Chapter 507 - Chapter 507 Chapter 507 Be Careful During This Period

Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Be Careful During This Period Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Be Careful During This Period Of course, he didn’t dare say it so explicitly.

“Doctor Qiao, please don’t reject this immediately.”

Zhou Xinyu had a smile on his face, but his look towards Qiao Xun carried a touch of arrogance.

“As long as you can cure my grandmother, our Zhou Family is willing to offer one hundred million as a reward.”

I believe there is no one in this world who could offer such a high price to hire a doctor.

“One hundred million?” Qiao Xun raised his eyebrows, his face showing a hint of faint surprise.

He couldn’t help but think the Zhou Family really were fools with too much money. No wonder they had previously thrown money at Qiao Yun.

Clearly, they still didn’t understand that money couldn’t solve all problems.

“That’s right, one hundred million.” Zhou Xinyu’s eyes were scornful, “The Zhou Family can make an advance payment of fifty million as a deposit, and another fifty million after the treatment. Of course, if my grandmother recovers, there will be an additional reward.”

Ha.

I didn’t expect such a famous doctor like Qiao Xun to be so greedy.

Qiao Xun looked indifferently at the increasingly disdainful man and smiled, “You think one hundred million is enough to hire me?”

Zhou Xinyu was stunned, visibly upset, “Doctor Qiao, do you think it’s too little? We can add another fifty million.”

Qiao Xun sighed, “Your Zhou Family really is wealthy.”

Zhou Xinyu proudly said, “Of course, our Zhou Family might not compare with the Li Family, but in Yuncheng, we are quite influential.”

The Qiao Family is very low-key so Zhou Xinyu doesn’t know that the Qiao Family is actually not inferior to the Zhou Family, and even because of Qiao Yun’s presence, the Qiao Family can hold sway across the nation.

Qiao Xun nodded calmly and said, “One hundred and fifty million is a bit less.”

Zhou Xinyu’s eyes widened, his face in disbelief.

How could you say that?

Although Qiao Xun was famous, he was still just a doctor–wouldn’t it take him a very long time to earn one hundred and fifty million?

Are they treating the Zhou Family like a cash cow?

But since he needed something from them, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and asked with a poor attitude, “How about you name your price, Doctor Qiao?”

Qiao Xun coldly replied, “Good, I want shares in the Zhou Family.”

“What!?” Zhou Xinyu blurted out, stunned, “Are you being too greedy?”

Qiao Xun spoke unhurriedly, “I’ve heard that Elder Zhou once said whoever can cure Mrs. Zhou will get shares in the Zhou Family–is that true?”

“It’s true,” admitted Zhou Xinyu without denying it, “but Doctor Qiao is not part of our Zhou Family.”

“Elder Zhou also never explicitly said it had to be a Zhou Family member, did he?”

Zhou Xinyu: “…” That was indeed not specified.

“So, any problem?” Qiao Xun asked unhurriedly, “If I can cure her, shouldn’t the shares be given to me?”

Zhou Xinyu was so frustrated he almost burst out swearing.

A doctor only, why such grand ambitions?

Qiao Xun wasn’t hugely ambitious and held no interest in the Zhou Family’s shares; he was more interested in medicine.

He was giving Zhou Xinyu a hard time because of Qiao Yun, and the terms were also suggested by Qiao Yun.

Essentially, Qiao Yun was his boss, after all, the Qiaose Research Institute was funded by Qiao Yun.

Qiao Xun looked at Zhou Xinyu’s pale face. If the Zhou Family had initially approached him in a pleasant manner instead of with an attitude that displeased Qiao Yun,

perhaps the chances of him agreeing to treat would have been higher.

But now that Professor Qiao was displeased, the Zhou Family would just have to accept their bad luck.

“Get back to me when you’ve made your decision,” said Qiao Xun, as always, in a calm manner.

Zhou Xinyu swallowed his frustration, looking at the smiling Qiao Xun and saw him as nothing but a devil.

Such a profit-first person, could he truly care for someone?

He contemplated and asked, “Doctor Qiao, do you know Miss Lu from the Lu Family?”

Qiao Xun was startled for a moment before he realized who he was referring to; his eyelids lifted as he coldly said, “Whether I know her or not, what’s it to you?”

Zhou Xinyu narrowed his eyes, somehow sensing a bit of protectiveness in Qiao Xun’s tone.

Could it be, he hadn’t guessed wrong?

Qiao Xun is interested in Qiao Yun, then there might be a way.

After all the twists and turns, it seems we’re back to Qiao Yun.

Since no agreement could be reached, Zhou Xinyu did not linger any longer.

Qiao Xun returned to his office.

He was a consultant at Shengqiao Hospital. Although he rarely appeared, he, too, had his office there.

Lu Zhanxing had just finished his examination and came back.

Upon seeing Qiao Xun enter, Qiao Yun stared at him for a while.

Qiao Xun explained, “I ran into someone.”

“Oh.”

“A foolish and wealthy person from the Zhou family.”

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow and continued with an “Oh,” without showing any particular reaction.

“I already told him what you said last time,” Qiao Xun recalled Zhou Xinyu’s expression and added, “He was very angry.”

“Mhm.” Qiao Yun nodded indifferently.

If it weren’t for Qiao Xun bringing up the matter, she would have already put the Zhou family out of her mind.

Even though this matter concerned a life.

But the ultimate decision to save or not was in Qiao Xun’s hands.

Lu Zhanxing asked, confused, “Who? What foolish thing has the Zhou family done this time?”

Qiao Xun explained on behalf of Qiao Yun, “They just wanted me to save someone, but I didn’t agree.”

Lu Zhanxing snorted, “Serves them right!”

It was because Zhou Xinyu had previously shown up uninvited to see his sister.

Qiao Xun did not continue the topic and took Lu Zhanxing’s medical report to examine it thoroughly.

“The recovery is going well. Let’s schedule a time to remove the stitches, then with proper rehabilitation, you will soon be able to walk freely.”

Only then did a smile appear on Lu Zhanxing’s face.

He would finally be able to stand up, which was a huge relief for him.

Qiao Xun gave Lu Zhanxing some precautions and then escorted them out.

“Zhou Xinyu mentioned you earlier, and his attitude was a bit strange. Be careful during this period,” Qiao Xun whispered, ensuring Lu Zhanxing could not hear.

Qiao Yun’s expression remained calm, “He can’t harm me.”

She said this to keep Qiao Xun from worrying.

Qiao Xun smiled, “Who is the bodyguard with you now?”

“Zhou You,” Qiao Yun answered truthfully.

“Oh, it’s him, then I’m relieved.”

Qiao Yun emphasized, “Don’t worry.”

Qiao Xun saw them out, only to realize that Li Hanzhou had also followed them, and his lips twitched slightly.

He said nothing else.

On the way back, Li Hanzhou drove.

After safely dropping everyone off at home and when Li Hanzhou was about to leave, Qiao Yun asked him, “Are you sick?”

“No,” Li Hanzhou laughed and shook his head.

“Would you tell me if you were sick?”

“Hmm? Tell you, what could you possibly do?”

Qiao Yun did not respond, her eyes sharply fixed on Li Hanzhou’s head.

Thinking to herself, I’d operate on your brain.

Li Hanzhou inexplicably felt a chill on his head and took the opportunity to pinch Qiao Yun’s face, “I’m leaving.”

“Goodbye.”

Qiao Yun obediently waved him goodbye.

Seeing this, Li Hanzhou’s lips curved into a smile, and he waved goodbye to her as well.

Qiao Yun watched him leave before she entered the house.

Lu Zhanxing was surrounded by his parents, who took turns expressing their concern.
