The rain came too fast and too suddenly, catching You Long's side completely unprepared.
All the guests and staff were sitting in the open air eating and drinking, but they didn't expect to be drenched instantly.
At this moment, even if they wanted to run, they couldn't, and there wasn't any condition to do so.
Because You Long was eager to go against Liu Zixuan, he chose a venue with a small entrance and didn't have time for better renovation and improvement. As a result, when people rushed inside, someone tripped, and the crowd started cursing, even fighting!
A bustling clinic opening ceremony suddenly turned chaotic.
You Long stood in the rain, bewildered and anxious! He wanted to intervene, but no one listened to him.
"Seems like even the heavens aren't helping you!" Liu Zixuan stood at the door of Huichun Hall, holding a steaming cup of tea and chuckling teasingly.
I remember a song lyric: In the sunny south, snow is falling, while in the cold north, it's spring all year!
This scene should change a bit: You're bewildered in the rain over there, and I'm here sipping hot tea feeling extremely comfortable!
You Long turned his head to look at Liu Zixuan and angrily cursed: "Liu Zixuan, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you!"
"No, no, no, if I were God, it would be raining knives today, not just turning you into drenched chickens!" Liu Zixuan shrugged and shouted to those who were fighting; "Everyone, don't crowd. My clinic is pretty empty, plenty of seats, and there's hot tea too!"
When the crowd heard this, they figured since it was crowded here, they might as well seek shelter, so some of them headed toward Liu Zixuan's Huichun Hall.
Liu Zixuan stood at the door and smiled at everyone: "Welcome to my opening ceremony, come inside, and the hot tea and snacks are unlimited!"
Now, there was no sense of disdain towards Liu Zixuan; he seemed like their savior.
It's important to know that these people were either wealthy or noble, and they rarely experienced any weather hardships!
Encountering such heavy rain today, suddenly finding a place to shelter and enjoy a hot cup of tea felt like heaven!
They nodded and bowed gratefully to Liu Zixuan, who was busy pouring them hot water and handing out towels he had prepared earlier.
Actually, it's not that he had some foresight power, but when he went out this morning, the weather felt oppressively hot, very much like a rainy day. Also, it's summer now, so some people are bound to seek treatment on rainy days, and preparing some towels was a precautionary measure!
Everyone dried their hair and drank hot tea; at this moment, they felt as if they were tasting some delicacy, considering the Pu'er and Da Hong Pao they usually drank were nothing compared to this sip of hot water, which was the real deal!
This also illustrated a point: if you do something at the right time, it hits the heart directly!
Listening to everyone's gratitude, Liu Zixuan chuckled, then walked to the door, where You Long stood disheveled in the wind and rain!
Originally hoping to use the opening ceremony to humiliate Liu Zixuan, but it was spoiled by a downpour!
Could this be the meaning of "the heavens do not cooperate"?
Or did he simply not check the almanac for this date…
"Would you like to come in for a cup of hot tea… Don't worry, it's definitely free!" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.
He thought that any self-respecting person wouldn't come, but clearly, You Long lacked that; he was quite shameless.
He strode over directly: "Hmph, don't think about doing anything to my guests, I've got to keep an eye on you!"
After speaking, You Long looked at the people, sincerely apologizing, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. Today's issue was because of my inadequate preparation. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. Once the rain stops, I'll take everyone for a hot bath and a nice dinner."
"Young You, we're really upset about what happened today, didn't you check the weather forecast?"
"Exactly, we are all executives, and if we get sick, it would delay business, costing us money!"
"If it weren't for Second Master Zuo, we'd have beaten you up already!"
As soon as You Long finished, the crowd clamored, showing their dissatisfaction with him!
You Long nodded repeatedly: "It's all my fault. My fault!"
Liu Zixuan, with a solemn face, spoke to the crowd: "With such a heavy rain, even if you quickly hid, it's still harmful to your health."
"What does this have to do with you!" You Long scolded.
"This is my clinic. I have the right to say what and how I want. As for you, I took pity on you and let you come over, and you're still babbling on?"
Liu Zixuan smirked sarcastically; "Or are you only inviting these guests to boost your scene regardless of their health?"
What Liu Zixuan said undoubtedly acted as a catalyst, causing everyone to gaze angrily at You Long.
There was truly nothing You Long could say to defend himself. He quickly declared, "Even if anyone gets sick, I'll treat you for free!"
"Tsk tsk, first you were indifferent to them, and now you're cursing them to get sick. What a despicable doctor!" Liu Zixuan sneered arrogantly.
There's no denying that he set a perfect trap, making You Long wrong no matter what he said!
Sure enough, these businesspeople were led by Liu Zixuan's words and started cursing You Long.
You Long was so angry that he stomped his feet, utterly speechless.
Right at that moment, Jiang Yiyi and Liu Ruyan walked in.
"The rain is quite heavy!"
"Hmm, did you bring the stuff?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"All sorted. We're heading upstairs now; you guys chat." The two women didn't linger, placing a bag down, and went upstairs together.
Liu Zixuan winked at You Long, as if to say, "You've had your time showing off, now it's my turn to end this."
Then he addressed everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, although my clinic isn't as luxurious as the Huichun Hall across the street, it's genuinely serving the people. Seeing you caught in the rain, as a precaution, there are some herbal medicines mixed in the tea just now!"
"These herbs firstly warm the body and secondly prevent colds from exposure to the rain. Drinking it as tea is better than getting injections and IV drips elsewhere!"
"I was wondering why my body felt so warm!"
"Yes, and it doesn't even taste like medicine. This doctor is truly thoughtful!"
"This is a doctor who genuinely cares for patients, unlike some who only want to show off their commercial ventures at the expense of patients!"
Listening to these words, Liu Zixuan secretly smiled, while You Long wished he could disappear into the ground. But he couldn't leave now; he was worried Liu Zixuan would sway these people over to his side, even though... most people were already leaning towards Liu Zixuan!
