Chapter 1631: Chapter 1630: The Best Treatment
Throughout the entire process, Mr. Cui was in a state of bewilderment. He had much to consider, as the head of the family; the fate of the entire clan rested solely on him, and he couldn’t afford any mistakes. Any misstep could jeopardize the family’s future.
In contrast, his daughter had simpler thoughts. Master Fang is simply Master Fang; he saved her life, and according to the most basic principle, she should return the favor.
With Cui Wenwen leading Master Fang inside, Manager Cui took the opportunity to quickly hurry Mr. Cui inside.
They arrived in Mr. Cui’s room.
"Master, this is how things are."
Manager Cui immediately recounted the sequence of events, especially when he mentioned that Steward Jiang had vigorously tried to prove that Ding Haotian attempted to murder Master Fang, which left Mr. Cui completely shocked.
Mr. Cui was acutely aware of the implications involved. With Steward Jiang’s identity and status, he had no reason to offend the Divine Race over a doctor. Behind the pricing was not just the Middle Class families but also the Wang Family and other families.
Then,
Manager Cui further stated, "Moreover, when Steward Jiang declared Master Fang innocent, all the families extended olive branches to Master Fang. They all invited Master Fang to be their Guest Elder, and in the capacity of Chief Minister."
Mr. Cui was even more astonished.
"Why would Master Fang choose us? You know, the least likely choice was our Cui Family."
"I do not know. I was just trying my luck because such a talent has already been acknowledged by the major families. The major families even publicly denounced Ding Haotian’s assassination charge. It is likely that shortly, the higher-ups will also make a decision on this matter, so everyone wants to vie for this talent."
After listening to Manager Cui’s account,
Mr. Cui sighed deeply.
Followed by a nod.
"You have done an excellent job in this matter. Later, visit the accounting office to collect a thousand taels of gold as encouragement and reward."
"Thank you, Master, this is what I should do!"
"Go ahead; I want to speak directly with this Master Fang."
"Yes."
After Manager Cui left,
Mr. Cui felt his palms were sweaty. Not long ago, he nearly drove out this rare talent again.
If that were the case, it would have been a tremendous loss.
...
Meanwhile,
Cui Wenwen brought Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun into the room.
She then invited the two to sit and served tea and water.
"It is indeed my honor that Mr. Fang could return. Please allow me to apologize on behalf of my father and the Cui Family to Mr. Fang."
Saying this, Cui Wenwen bowed in apology.
"It’s a minor matter." Fang Yu responded quite indifferently. He was keenly aware of what Cui Wenwen meant.
"Master Fang’s willingness to overlook past grievances and rejoin the Cui Family astonishes me. May I ask why Master Fang chose us?"
After all, the Cui Family had previously expelled Fang Yu. Moreover, other families are no worse than the Cui Family.
"I am nostalgic, and I have lived in the Cui Family for a time at least. I know something about every plant and tree here, and I am not accustomed to integrating into a new environment."
"Is that the reason?"
"It is indeed."
Cui Wenwen felt a bit surprised.
She sensed that Fang Yu wasn’t telling the truth, though what Fang Yu said might be true. However, Cui Wenwen did not continue to press.
At that moment.
Mr. Cui stepped in from outside.
Since it was the living room, the lighting was bright, making it easy to see Mr. Cui right away.
It was evident that Mr. Cui’s attitude and demeanor had changed from earlier.
When Mr. Cui entered the living room,
He became exceedingly serious.
Raising both hands, he respectfully bowed towards Fang Yu.
"Master Fang."
"Mr. Cui, it has indeed been a while. Earlier, I noticed your attitude seemed a bit unwelcoming towards me, a mere physician?"
Hearing this, Mr. Cui was embarrassed.
He chuckled awkwardly before approaching.
Bowing again,
"Master Fang, let bygones be bygones. I have already heard Manager Cui’s explanation. There are many regrets in this, and it’s not entirely within the Cui Family’s control. I hope Master Fang can understand."
"I understand that the Cui Family’s survival in the middle ground is not easy. Neither too high nor too low, maintaining the current status has been difficult for you."
"Thank you, Master Fang, for your understanding."
"There’s no need to discuss understanding anymore. Since I am to be the Cui Family’s Guest Elder, it should be as the Chief Minister. Let us talk about conditions. What preferential treatment can you offer me?"
Although Mr. Cui was ready to negotiate the terms with him, he did not expect Master Fang to be so direct.
Originally, he thought the apology would be drawn out to let him put down his inner conflict.
It turns out that’s unnecessary now.
This way, it’s straightforward as well.
Directly discussing terms. Driven by interests, there is nothing else to say. We are all adults, so why complicate things?
"Alright, as long as Master Fang is willing to stay with the Cui Family, Master Fang can enjoy all priority rights. Double the cultivation resources, and a hundred taels of gold monthly. Additionally, we will specially construct an exclusive mansion for you."
"Just that?"
"Well..."
Mr. Cui looked troubled. After all, this is quite a significant offering, and anything beyond this would incur rather substantial costs, considering the monthly output may not justify such expenses.
After a moment’s thought,
Mr. Cui added, "What conditions does Master Fang have?"
"Room and board, naturally. Besides, I don’t need your money; monthly gold isn’t enough to fill the gap between my teeth. This condition should be changed. I know that your Cui Divine Race has numerous businesses, spare a storefront for me to exclusively use as a clinic."
Mr. Cui was taken aback.
"In the main city, it’s not allowed for doctors to privately set up clinics. Isn’t Master Fang making things difficult for the Cui Family?"
"Therefore, I need Mr. Cui’s help to get a medical license."
"..."
Obtaining a medical license is incredibly difficult.
The cost incurred is not trivial. In the entire main city, doctors with a legitimate medical license are few and far between. Each of these doctors can hold their own, possessing unique skills, and having backing from significant forces.
"Rest assured, I don’t want your money. The income earned from the clinic, I will take 80%, and the Cui Family will take 20%. How about it?"
Fang Yu’s reason for doing this has a purpose.
To approach those in high positions,
one must have substantial wealth.
The clinic is his forte.
With patients, come complex problems; with complex problems, comes big money to be made. The Divine Race is so avaricious, then earn enough of their money.
The path with the Wang Family went unexpectedly awry, failing to be navigated. So, there must be a way outside the Wang Family.
Moreover,
Fang Yu also needs substantial financial resources to cope with potential retaliation from the Wang Family and the Ding Family.
Despite their public stance of prohibiting any actions targeting Master Fang, who can guarantee their sincerity behind the scenes?
