Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 156 The Semiconductor Business?

Bai Jing stood up and greeted them with a smile. "What a surprise. I was going to call on both of you tomorrow. I didn't expect you to be here today. Speak of the devil and he will appear."

The two young men nodded a curt greeting and smiled politely. Then they gave Bai Jing the gifts they had brought.

Bai Jing received the gifts and said, "Let me introduce you two. This is Ning Tao, a miracle doctor with superb medical skill." Then she introduced the two young men to Ning Tao—Li Xiaofeng was the one in a suit and tie, and Xin Zhiyu was the one with a very distinctive moustache.

Ning Tao stood up and greeted politely, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Li and Mr. Xin."

Li Xiaofeng gave a slight nod and said, "Nice to meet you, too."

Xin Zhiyu smiled at Ning Tao and said, "As a doctor, you must be a big deal to come here as a guest. You must be the backbone of a hospital. Which hospital are you in, Doctor Ning?"

"I don't work in a hospital. I run my own clinic," responded Ning Tao.

Then Xin Zhiyu asked, "Which celebrities do you provide medical services to?"

"It's just an ordinary clinic," Ning Tao said matter-of-factly. "Most of the patients are ordinary people."

There was a slight change in Xin Zhiyu's look, but it was not obvious.

"This lady is..." When Xin Zhiyu talked to Ning Tao, Li Xiaofeng's eyes were fixed on Qing Zhui. His eyes lit up, just like a person could not hide his joy and surprise in his heart when he accidentally found a very beautiful sh.e.l.l or coral on the beach.

Xin Zhiyu also turned his eyes to Qing Zhui and laughed, "Bai Jing, you're not our friend. Won't you introduce us to this beautiful lady?"

"She's my younger sister, Qing Zhui," Bai Jing stated.

Li Xiaofeng then walked up to Qing Zhui, holding down the hem of his suit with one hand and put the other hand to Qing Zhui, saying, "Nice to meet you, Miss Qing."

Qing Zhui hesitated and shook hands with Li Xiaofeng, because they were guests of her sister Bai Jing, and as half the host of the house, she could not be rude.

Xin Zhiyu also walked forward, greeted her and graciously held out his hand to shake Qing Zhui's hand.

Bai Jing invited Li Xiaofeng and Xin Zhiyu to sit down. Wei Bai brought another two bronze goblets and poured wine for them. Then there was only half of the bamboo-leaf-green liqueur made in 1810 left in the jar.

Xin Zhiyu picked up the bronze goblet and sniffed at it with a curious look on his face. "What kind of wine is this?" he inquired.

"This is my old-fas.h.i.+oned bamboo-leaf-green liqueur," Bai Jing replied. "You can't buy it outside. Try it."

Li Xiaofeng held up the bronze goblet, with a gentle and elegant smile on his handsome face. "Then I borrow the wine to propose a toast to Miss Qing. Nice to meet you."

"It's hard to see Xiaofeng offer a toast. It's a little special today," Xin Zhiyu teased.

Li Xiaofeng just smiled, and hadn't taken his eyes off Qing Zhui's face as gorgeous as Lin Daiyu's.

Qing Zhui was calm and not happy about Li Xiaofeng's compliment.

Then Xin Zhiyu said, "I'd like to toast to you, Bai Jing."

Bai Jing picked up the goblet and said politely, "Thank you." Then she took a sip of wine.

As Bai Jing had drunk, Qing Zhui had to hold up the bronze goblet and drink with Li Xiaofeng.

Doctor Ning was forgotten.

If Ning Tao was the boss of a large company or the son of a large family, Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng would probably toast to him, but he was just a doctor in a "general clinic". The higher the cla.s.s was, the more they valued status. As far as they were concerned, they were already doing Ning Tao a favor by sitting at the table with him. How could Ning Tao afford to be their toast?

Ning Tao didn't feel anything about it and was calm on his face. During his four years in college without his parents, he had long been accustomed to being despised and discriminated against. But instead of trying to be tolerant and insensitive, he just didn't care. As the owner of the Sky Clinic, did he need these two rich guys to look up to him?

After drinking wine with Xin Zhiyu, Bai Jing then held up the bronze goblet, looked at Ning Tao with a smile on her face and said, "Doctor Ning, a toast on me to you."

Ning Tao nodded his head faintly, picked up the bronze goblet and took a sip of wine.

Qing Zhui immediately lifted her chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast sirloin steaks which the chef had just cooked and brought to the table. Then she took it to her mouth and blew on it before putting it to Ning Tao's mouth, saying, "Brother Ning, have a roast. I've blown on it, so it isn't hot."

Ning Tao, a little embarra.s.sed, said, "Just give me the roast. Don't blow it."

"If you don't like me to blow on it to cool it, I won't do it again," Qing Zhui said softly.

Ning Tao opened his mouth and ate the roast sirloin that Qing Zhui gave him.

Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng were a little stunned by them. It was strange that Bai Jing toasted the doctor of an ordinary clinic, while her sister Qing Zhui even served meat to Ning Tao. How could the doctor of a clinic deserve to be treated like this!

Xin Zhiyu's eyes fell on Ning Tao's face again, as if he wanted to see through Ning Tao's inner world. What he saw, however, was an ordinary young man in casual clothes, far from the formidable figure he had thought.

After a few seconds, Xin Zhiyu asked, "Doctor Ning, which medical college did you graduate from?"

"Shan City Medical University, but I haven't graduated yet," Ning Tao replied. "I'm still doing my interns.h.i.+p and only getting a medical license."

"You're still in your interns.h.i.+p?" Xin Zhiyu was surprised.

Li Xiaofeng said simply, "As a medical intern, you dare to open a clinic and treat patients. I think you must have an extraordinary skill in medicine. What diseases have you cured?"

That sounded polite, but it was actually a hint that he was questioning Ning Tao.

Ning Tao answered lightly, "I can cure all diseases, except for terminal diseases."

"Aren't you exaggerating a little?" Li Xiaofeng called into question. "You can cure all diseases but terminal diseases. I don't think even the best doctors would dare say that, would they?"

Xin Zhiyu smiled and said, "Doctor Ning, I've been feeling a bit under the weather these days. Can you diagnose me?"

Ning Tao looked at Xin Zhiyu for a few seconds and answered, "Mr. Xin, you drink too much and you have ulcers in your stomach. You should have stomachache and acid reflux these days. Don't worry. Break your bad habits and you'll get better."

Xin Zhiyu suddenly froze on the spot. In fact, he knew exactly why he was uncomfortable, but without examination on him and even feeling his pulse as in traditional Chinese medicine, Ning Tao gave a direct diagnosis of the cause!

A look of surprise came over Li Xiaofeng's face. He looked at Ning Tao and said, "Doctor Ning, I didn't expect you did have something. As it happens, I'm a little under the weather, too. Can you diagnose me?"

Taking one look at Li Xiaofeng, Ning Tao replied, "Mr. Li, you take work too seriously. You're sitting a lot and you have prostate problems. Exercise more and apply a warm compress to the prostate before going to bed, and your symptoms will be alleviated. There's no way to treat it with drugs, so you don't need to take anti-inflammatory drugs."

Li Xiaofeng was stunned. He didn't believe Ning Tao's diagnosis for Xin Zhiyu, so he asked Ning Tao to see him. Unexpectedly, Ning Tao gave the correct diagnosis immediately without feeling his pulse!"

"Doctor Ning is the best doctor in the world. It's no jock," Bai Jing said. "Do you believe it now?"

Xin Zhiyu smiled and said, "Of course I do, Bai Jing. How can your doctor friend be ordinary? I was wrong. Doctor Ning, I'll have a drink as a punishment." With that, he took the bronze goblet and drank the wine in one gulp.

Ning Tao also picked up the bronze goblet and drank the wine. He was not angry because of Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng's previous slight, nor was he happy because of Xin Zhiyu's change of att.i.tude. To him, both Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng were just someone who happened to sit at the table with him for dinner this evening.

Instead of "having a drink as a punishment," Li Xiaofeng changed the subject. "Bai Jing, we're not just here to have a drink with you. We have something important to talk to you about."

Bai Jing smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Li Xiaofeng replied, "Now the United States is waging a trade war, blocking our country's high-tech industries, especially the semiconductor industry. I know your New World Technology has been making and researching semiconductors but has refused to go public, so it's not big. Now is an opportunity. I have talked to my father and he is interested in investing and wants to subscribe for 30% of the original shares of your company. The price is to your satisfaction. Then we can go public together, and your New World Technology won't miss out on this big opportunity."

Ning Tao was a little surprised. If Li Xiaofeng hadn't mentioned it, he would not have known that Bai Jing's company made and researched semiconductors. He didn't care much about state affairs, but he knew something about what the United States had been doing lately. After all, the coverage was overwhelming. He also thought America was a bit of a "bully", but he was only a doctor who could do nothing to such a great power confrontation.

Bai Jing didn't say anything.

"My family also wants to subscribe for 30% of your company's original stock. If that happens, you're still the boss of New World Technology, and you're still in charge."

Still, Bai Jing didn't say yes or no. No one knew what she was thinking.

Xin Zhiyu continued to persuade, "Such a big thing needs to be considered of course, but the opportunity waits for no one. Now several tech stocks are going crazy, and the nation has pumped hundreds of billions into them. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it." After a pause, he added, "Of course, such a big thing can't be done here. My father said he would invite you to my house tomorrow. My mother wants to see you, too. She's been talking about you for days. Please do come."

There was an expectant look in his eyes, and an emotion that was hard to hide.

Actually, Ning Tao had realized that Xin Zhiyu had feelings for Bai Jing. Li Xiaofeng was here to talk business with Bai Jing, but he had a crush on Qing Zhui.

Then Li Xiaofeng said, "Miss Qing, can I invite you to dinner too?"

Qing Zhui paused slightly and asked, "Me?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled softly and said, "Yes, I'd like to invite you to dinner. I wonder if I have the honor."

Qing Zhui resolutely refused, "I won't go. I have to stay with Brother Ning."

The smile disappeared from Li Xiaofeng's face. He had never failed to date a woman. Sometimes all it took was a hint that those beautiful stars and celebrities would make him satisfied, so he didn't expect Qing Zhui to refuse his invitation. Qing Zhui not only directly rejected him, but also said in front of him that she would accompany another man!

"Doctor Ning," said Xin Zhiyu, "I want to invite you to dinner, too, and please do me the honor."

Ning Tao didn't respond.

"Doctor Ning, please go with me and Qing Zhui," Bai Jing said. "I want to know what they will say."

Ning Tao thought for a moment and agreed, "All right, Qing Zhui and I are going with you."

"If Brother Ning goes, I'll go," Qing Zhui blurted out.

Li Xiaofeng and Xin Zhiyu exchanged glances, sending a message that no one else knew.
