Chapter 185
He was a healer who worked solely for the welfare of the people, and, because of reopening of this abandoned hospital, he was able to treat a large number of patients. In the process, he inherited the science of surgery from Xia Lian. So, He Chun had all the reasons in the world to be happy. Serving the people was his ultimate goal and working with a non-greedy partner lifted his positive spirits. Watching Xia Lian working so hard to teach him new techniques of medicine made him inspired to work hard. The kid might be younger to him by a few years, but, deep down his heart he admired Xia Lian the most.
"I heard that you asked for me. Do you need any help? If so, you can state your need without any hesitation. As long as it's in my capabilities, I will help you at any cost."
As the time pa.s.sed, He Chun dropped all the formalities slowly under Xia Lian's insistence. Now, He Chun was completely informal with her which made Xia Lian happy. The doctor was a good man and naturally she was pleased to make his acquaintance.
On seeing his natural carefree smile, Xia Lian had a sudden urge to tease him.
"Will you kill for me doctor?"
"W-what?" He Chun choked on his breath, and even Lu Wen snickered from the side. It was only after hearing Lu Wen's laugh did He Chun realize that he was being teased.
"If you insist, I will..." With a red face, He Chun tried to retort which only garnered another series of laughter in the room.
Xia Lian chortled at He Chun's reaction. He sounded as if he would kill someone for her. Xia Lian knew that the man couldn't bear to hurt even an ant, so, how could he possibly kill someone?
She had teased the poor man enough and now it was the time for business.
"Doctor He, I have a proposal for you." Xia Lian began, her somber voice attracting He Chun's attention.
Taking out a parchment from the desk, Xia Lian beckoned He Chun to come closer which he promptly followed. Spreading the parchment on to the desk, Xia Lian started to explain him about her plans to develop the medical system throughout the Qilin Empire.
He Chun listened to Xia Lian in a smitten daze, he had never heard about multiple chain system of hospitals and the so called pharmacies where they sell medicine at a fixed cost. And the concept of allocating doctors for each division in the capital was enough to make him stare at Xia Lian like a fool.
"We can first start it in the capital and slowly expand it throughout the kingdom, if we are successful. Think about it, if this plan is successful, then we can save the lives of many. Then, medicine will no longer be a luxury!" Xia Lian went on rambling as her eyes shone brightly, as if encompa.s.sing myriad of stars inside them. The longer she spoke, the more she grew excited and what she did not notice is that all the men were staring at her dumbfounded, while Yinri puffed her chest in pride at the sight of the awe-struck men.
Hah!
Isn't my commander too stunning and beautiful?!
