Capítulo 1846: Chapter 1460: Let’s Go Right Now!

During a casual walk, Bai Xiaosheng unexpectedly encountered an acquaintance, which truly surprised him.

Originally, Bai Xiaosheng and Mo Ziyue only had a fleeting encounter on a plane where they jointly assisted a young boy. Mo Ziyue was somewhat skeptical of Bai Xiaosheng’s acupuncture and held a doubtful attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine. After Bai Xiaosheng successfully treated the boy, some passengers began to mock Mo Ziyue’s abilities, but Mo Ziyue responded calmly, which caught Bai Xiaosheng’s attention. Out of respect for such medical professionals, Bai Xiaosheng had even comforted him a little.

That was the extent of their interaction.

He thought that after they parted ways, they wouldn’t have the chance to meet again. Unexpectedly, today they met once more.

However, before Bai Xiaosheng could greet Mo Ziyue, he saw Mo Ziyue point towards him and say something to a well-dressed man walking beside him. The man stared at Bai Xiaosheng in surprise, sizing him up from head to toe.

“Trust me, this person might have a better solution!” Mo Ziyue reiterated to the man in the suit.

Bai Xiaosheng heard this sentence clearly.

Then, Bai Xiaosheng saw Mo Ziyue smile at him and noticed the suited man leading a group of subordinates to gather around Mo Ziyue, surrounding Bai Xiaosheng.

“Mr. Mo Ziyue, we meet again,” Bai Xiaosheng greeted with a smile, glancing at the people around him, and asked Mo Ziyue, “What’s going on here?”

They had no grievances or animosity, and even had the shared experience of saving someone.

Meeting him just like this with a group of people surrounding him surely required an explanation.

“Sir, we mean no offense, we just wish to invite you to examine our master’s illness. The consultation fee is negotiable! It will definitely satisfy you!” the suited man eagerly said.

He was around forty, appearing extremely intelligent and capable. These people around were led by him, seemingly from a prominent household, but he showed no arrogance and spoke very politely, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with earnest expectation.

“Mr. Bai, though it’s somewhat abrupt, I believe your capabilities surpass mine in certain areas, so I had to recommend you,” Mo Ziyue said with an apologetic smile.

“What’s really going on?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t displeased or unhappy, Mo Ziyue was relieved, pointing at the suited man and his people, saying, “They are the family members of a patient who is a friend of mine. My friend runs a private clinic here, is quite competent, and is well-known in Tianhu. I came to visit that friend and ended up being recommended to them.”

Mo Ziyue shrugged, “I’ve reviewed their master’s medical history—it’s a chronic illness that, with my Western medical approach, is likely very troublesome. However, they thought I could offer a better solution and have persistently sought my visit. But I truly feel I might be lacking.”

Mo Ziyue spoke very humbly.

Beside him, the suited man interjected respectfully to Mo Ziyue, “Mr. Mo, you are too modest! Your friend greatly admires you, claiming you have the capability! Hearing you are from the Mo Family, I believed if you intervened, our master would have hope for recovery!”

The man was quite adept in conversation.

However, upon hearing this, Mo Ziyue frowned slightly, seemingly not pleased, “Does my identity as a Mo Family member offer assurance? I’ve studied Western medicine, a systematic discipline, not inherited knowledge, so this might disappoint you!”

The suited man seemed unprepared for Mo Ziyue’s displeasure but quickly apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry, Mr. Mo! I spoke incorrectly! What we value is your personal skill! Your friend is famous in Tianhu and speaks highly of you, indicating your abilities are truly exceptional. We are sincerely requesting you to visit and provide a diagnosis, no offense intended!”

Seeing the man’s sincere attitude, Mo Ziyue’s expression slightly softened.

Beside him, Bai Xiaosheng understood the situation.

Mo Ziyue came to Tianhu to visit a friend, got recommended to a client by said friend, felt unsure of his abilities, saw Bai Xiaosheng, and pulled him into the mix.

Bai Xiaosheng was indeed amused and speechless.

While taking a walk, such “good fortune” somehow befell him; truly uncommon.

However, it seemed from the conversation that Mo Ziyue’s family was a medical dynasty, with inherited practices indicating they had depth in traditional medicine.

Mo Ziyue pursued Western medicine, diverging from his family’s path.

This was intriguing, as Mo Ziyue had a slight aversion to traditional Chinese medicine, possibly due to familial reasons.

Indeed, everyone’s growth is influenced by a diverse array of factors; being born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners doesn’t guarantee a favorable view of it. Perhaps Mo Ziyue’s childhood had shadows or setbacks that altered his perspective, matters unknowable and unalterable by outsiders.

About this, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t particularly curious.

However, at present, Bai Xiaosheng felt the need to clarify a matter about himself.

“Mr. Mo Ziyue, and this gentleman, I think you all might misunderstand,” Bai Xiaosheng successfully captured their attention, smiling at them, “Actually, I’m not a doctor, nor do I have any qualifications or certifications, and I don’t intend to pursue a medical career. So, I’m afraid I cannot accept your request.”

Bai Xiaosheng refused to make house calls.

After all, he is the Executive President for the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group, not some wandering charlatan; let professionals handle medical duties.

As for urgent life-saving on a plane, that was another matter, but casual “house calls” were a different story.

Both Mo Ziyue and the suited man were taken aback, seemingly not expecting Bai Xiaosheng’s words.

The suited man couldn’t help but look at Mo Ziyue, possibly due to Bai Xiaosheng’s claims of lacking credentials and not practicing medicine, feeling bewildered as to why Mr. Mo Ziyue held him in high regard…

Mo Ziyue hadn’t expected Bai Xiaosheng’s swift refusal either.

The suited man had mentioned compensation would not be fruitless for Bai Xiaosheng, judging from the dispatch of people to retrieve a doctor, indicating a wealthy family.

Maybe Bai Xiaosheng could just make the visit without guaranteeing a miraculous cure, earning an impressive sum, likely far exceeding his routine salary.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng so young, young people have high expenses; could he disregard wealth?

Furthermore, aren’t young people often ambitious and vigorous? With such high praise offered, why did he remain so indifferent, even rejecting lucrative offers easily?

Mo Ziyue found Bai Xiaosheng’s demeanor surprising as well.

Truly, Mo Ziyue was a responsible medical practitioner; without witnessing Bai Xiaosheng’s capabilities firsthand, he certainly wouldn’t have recommended him,

But since Bai Xiaosheng seemed unwilling, Mo Ziyue did not wish to insist.

“I hadn’t considered this fully, so Mr. Bai, if you’re unwilling, don’t feel pressured,” Mo Ziyue said courteously.

Then Mo Ziyue spoke to the suited man, “As I said before, I am personally limited; first visit might achieve nothing. It’s better for you to consult top specialist hospitals here or abroad for systematic evaluation and diagnosis…”

Seeing Mo Ziyue also refuse, the suited man appeared anxious, “Mr. Mo, we have all the medical equipment; everything can be examined. We only lack a attending physician; our master just returned home today and is unwell. Please just take a look and offer a conservative plan. Otherwise, how will I report to Miss Tianlu?”

Had the suited man not mentioned anything further, Bai Xiaosheng was preparing to bid farewell to Mo Ziyue and leave.

Once the suited man mentioned “Miss Tianlu,” Bai Xiaosheng paused immediately.

The name “Tianlu” isn’t very common, is it?

“Is your master from the Dong family?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

“Yes,” the suited man promptly nodded as Bai Xiaosheng inquired.

Mo Ziyue observed Bai Xiaosheng with interest, wondering how he guessed the patient’s family name.

“Beifeng Holdings, Dong Family?” Bai Xiaosheng inquired again.

Again, the suited man nodded with slight surprise.

Beifeng Holdings was certainly known to Mo Ziyue, very prominent indeed!

Actually, his friend in Tianhu never dealt with small businesses; each was a significant client.

Although Bai Xiaosheng’s rejection seemed too quick earlier, he hadn’t had time to explain.

However, did Bai Xiaosheng’s prior dismissive attitude towards the consultation fee change simply due to the client’s stature?

“Let’s go, right now!” Bai Xiaosheng decisively waved his hand.

Both the suited man and Mo Ziyue were left stunned, exchanging looks.

What… just happened?
