“We don’t need a big living room. Sixty or seventy square meters should be enough; as for the four rooms, one will be the master bedroom, one for a study, and the two spare rooms shall be kept as it is now. Make the master bedroom a bit bigger with attached toilet and shower, and then make another shared toilet for the common area…”

Yao Rou agreed to Ling Yun’s idea. Her beautiful face flushed as she perceived the profound reasons behind Ling Yun’s arrangements.

The master bedroom had to be big. If not, how would it fit two people? And how to shower?

Both Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were street smart. Although Ling Yun did not hide anything from them, they understood from their own observations and kept their faces straight.

“Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei are staying in the rented place. Yao Rou is in the clinic, so who will be staying in mansion number 1? Cao Shanshan or… Ning Er?” Tang Meng asked himself in his mind.

Yao Rou thought deeply for a while after Ling Yun finished. Suddenly, she stared up at Ling Yun and asked, “Ling Yun, shouldn’t you give our clinic a name?”

Ling Yun concurred immediately and pouted his sexy lips. “Yeah, the clinic would not have a good reputation without a good name. What do you think the clinic should be named as, you three?”

Adept at this, Tang Meng chuckled and gave his recommendation. “Boss, how does Miracle Doctor Clinic sound? It’s easy to remember!”

Ling Yun frowned and nearly spilled his tea on him. “Xue Miracle Doctor is in Qingshui City. Won’t we be showing him disrespect if we call ourselves Miracle Doctor Clinic!?”

Tang Meng nodded quickly as the engines in his mind shifted gear. He swiftly offered again, “Aunt Qin’s clinic is ‘The Common People’s Clinic’. Shall we also call this clinic ‘The Common People’s Clinic’ as well…?”

“Absolutely not, that will only attract the common people. How are we going to make money?” Ling Yun rejected flatly again.

Of course, Ling Yun did not forget Qin Qiuyue’s advice to him. Ling Yun planned on carrying it out dutifully — on the condition that poor people happened to visit his clinic. If not, he might as well do charity.

Since both of Tang Meng’s suggestions were rejected, he had no choice but to mull it over in his head again.

Yao Rou suddenly smiled softly and said, “The clinic is yours. It is very difficult for us to be able to guess your plans for it, so I think it is still best for you to decide…”

After listening to Yao Rou’s words, it struck Tang Meng that Yao Rou did have her methods to be able to get into Ling Yun’s favor in such a short period of time.

Yao Rou was like your girl next door. She was pretty and personable. Most importantly, she was very gentle and flexible like water. When Ling Yun was around, Ling Yun was her sun and her everything. She followed everything that Ling Yun said and never argued against Ling Yun.

However, when Ling Yun was not around, Yao Rou had a independent disposition. She had her own views and was simple and well-organized.

Yao Rou was born poor and her environment growing up had not been very ideal. Nonetheless, she had a clear goal and was extremely persistent. She had to complete something once she decided on it!

“Sigh… the women who are beside Boss are truly amazing…” Tang Meng kept the thought to himself.

Meanwhile, an amused Ling Yun thought about it and said casually, “I think we can call it ‘Clinic for Terminal Patients’…”

“Pff….”

“Gah…”

“Ah!?”

Tang Meng’s eyes widened with shock for quite some time before he recovered and thought to himself, “Boss, how can you name it something like that?”

Oh my God, Clinic for Terminal Patients? How can Ling Yun even mention it!

“Yeah!” The more Ling Yun thought about it, the more satisfied he was. He approved it with a nod. “We will name it ‘Clinic for Terminal Patients’. Though this name sounds very cheesy, but only people with terminal illness or people with incurable diseases will visit, so it is effective. I don’t have the time to treat people with headaches or cold or whatever…”

The clinics opened by Ling Yun and Qin Qiuyue were vastly different. He was going to rely on saving lives to earn loads of money, which was not possible with the common ailments.

“Should we set the the consultation fee at ¥250,000?” Ling Yun turned and earnestly asked the trio who were still mind-boggled.

If they were not shocked by the name of the clinic, they were now!

A consultation fee of ¥250,000?! This price was unheard of, not only in Qingshui, but in the world!

Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and Yao Rou simultaneously left their mouths hanging open.

Seeing their reactions, Ling Yun rose his handsome brows. “Well, yeah, I was also thinking that 250,000 was a bit too little. How about 300,000?”

Tang Meng almost could not catch his breath, Tie Xiaohu could feel his Adam’s apple quivering. Yao Rou looked straight at Ling Yun, seeming to want to say something, but she did not know where to start.

¥250,000 consultation fee was too little? ¥300,000?!

Wasn’t this too excessive? How would the clinic attract business?

Tang Meng was the first to break the silence after three whole minutes. He took a few deep breaths and waited for the oxygen to fill his brain before saying in a low voice, “Big Brother Yun… erm, I think it’s slightly on the high side if we charge 300,000 for consultation… Actually, I think that even 250,000 is also a bit too much…”

This was the first time Tie Xiaohu shared the same viewpoint as Tang Meng. He advocated for Tang Meng’s view in his head.

Ling Yun smiled as he shook his head. “Is that right? I was thinking that even 300,000 is too little.”

Yao Rou also reacted by tugging on Ling Yun’s sleeve without saying anything.

“Okay, Tang Meng, let’s take Li Qingchuan as an example. If his family knew that I could cure him and I charged 300,000 as consultation, how do you think they would react?” Ling Yun continued.

“Well…” Tang Meng was speechless.

He knew that as long as there was a possibility of curing Li Qingchuan, Old Man Li would do it even if it bankrupted the family.

Money could be made again at any time, but if one were dead, there would be nothing, including all the money that was made!

Ling Yun gave a subdued smile as he continued, “Take Mr. Wang as another example. I cured him and he gave us this unit! Now, how much is this worth compared to a consultation fee of 300,000…”

The trio could not argue with that logic. Ling Yun was saving lives! The richer one was, the more afraid the rich people would be of death. What was money if they contracted an incurable disease?

What was a consultation fee of 300,000!?

“The most important thing is that I don’t have that much time. This consultation fee is actually just a gate. Everyone has their own destiny. I will treat someone who believes in my skills and gives me the money; if not, I am sorry, but I am not going to stop King Hades from bringing them back.” Ling Yun said as a matter of fact.

“Big Brother Yun, but what if bad people come to us with money?” Tang Meng muttered.

“Haven’t you heard that a doctor’s compassion should be akin to the heart of a parent? I am treating ailments and saving lives. Whoever comes to my clinic is my patient. How can I not treat them?” Ling Yun chuckled.

The only one in this world who would explain a doctor’s compassion in this fashion was probably Ling Yun!

Tang Meng could sense that something not very right with Ling Yun’s logic, but he could not pinpoint it. He continued to deliberate.

After a short silence, Tang Meng had a brainwave and challenged once more, “What about poor people who are also suffering from an incurable diseases, but cannot afford the 300,000 consultation fee? What do we do then?”

“Didn’t I mention just now? A doctor’s compassion should still hold. If a truly poor person walked in, I would treat him. However, that depends on them. For those who don’t come, you can’t expect me to go around the world to help everyone in need just because I have good medical skills.

Both Tie Xiaohu and Yao Rou heaved sighs of relief upon hearing that.

For Tie Xiaohu and Yao Rou who had grown up in the lower strata of society, Tang Meng’s question unintentionally revealed Ling Yun’s view towards people like them.

Tie Xiaohu and Yao Rou would not have objected if Ling Yun was adamant on the 300,000 consultation fee without any exception for the poor. However, they would have been heavily disappointed in Ling Yun.

Who didn’t want money? But if it was ONLY for money and nothing else, that was definitely a no-no.

Even though Ling Yun needed money, he actually hated money!

Ling Yun’s clinic was opened to be a profitable business, but he had a very clear objective on exactly WHOSE money he wanted to earn!

He was targeting the rich. Your money for your life. Very reasonable.

To Ling Yun, even though money was important, but his time and his training were more important! He had to install a gate!

He could not neglect his training!

Once the reputation of the Clinic for Terminal Patients was built up from successful cases, patients would definitely try to break through the flood gates!

In that case, 24 hours a day would not even be enough to treat his patients, let alone think about training for Physique Tempering Stage Level 3 Realm. He would not be able to bear the effect of the depletion of spiritual energy for Qi Cultivation!

His clinic didn’t need any hospital stay or medication since he cured everyone of their pain and suffering through acupuncture. However, all of it was supported by Ling Yun’s spiritual energy!

This was the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, not just some cabbages in the supermarket!

Even Miracle Doctor Xue who was peerless in Traditional Chinese Medicine was selective about the patients he saw. He was currently secluded in Qingshui City and only treated people rarely.

Just because one could treat incurable diseases, would everyone with incurable diseases not die?

Crazy! Even the deities would not be able to handle it!

Therefore, Ling Yun set this gate decisively to prevent overcrowding once his reputation soared.

As for poor people, he would treat them if they had some social connection with him or his followers. It was not possible to chase them out if they went into his clinic, was it?

Was Liu Li poor? If Ling Yun was really only after the rich, why would he treat her husband and even pay for it?

“Okay, that’s settled! Clinic for Terminal Patients, consultation fee of 300,000!”

Ling Yun delivered his decision before the first dish was served.
