Chapter 210: Dragon and snake

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

Zhang Fan’s impression of Ma Wentao recently was that the latter was like a man on fire. To Zhang Fan, it seemed that Ma Wentao did everything hurriedly and casually. However, Ma Wentao seemed quite different today. It was as if he was withering!

“Could it really be that you’re worried to such an extent about how much you’re paying me?” Zhang Fan joked when he saw how Ma Wentao was.

“Damn you! Would I lack that little amount of money? Here, take the surgery fee for today!” Ma Wentao immediately tossed an envelope of money over to Zhang Fan, who put it away and then prepared to leave. Zhang Fan had no interest at all in what Ma Wentao’s affairs might be.

“Hey! You’re so cold and uncaring! We’re supposed to be partners now, aren’t we? Shouldn’t you at least pretend to care? You’re really too much, trying to run away right after taking the money!” Ma Wentao really was a bit frustrated with Zhang Fan’s attitude!

“What can I even help you with? I don’t think I could possibly do anything about something that would worry you. If I ask, it would probably only annoy you even more, which is why I didn’t ask! Go ahead and stew in your own frustrations. I’ll be leaving now. I still need to finish cleaning up because I just did some moving!” Zhang Fan stood at the doorway because he truly had no interest in talking to Ma Wentao about the latter’s worries.

“Don’t you leave. Sit down. This matter is related to you!” Ma Wentao pointed at the sofa while ordering Zhang Fan to stay.

“What is it?” Zhang Fan was rather confused.

“The dragon is about to arrive!” Ma Wentao said something with no explanation at all while even lighting a cigarette for the sake of acting mysterious.

“Stop wasting time and just say it clearly!” Zhang Fan would never have any patience for Ma Wentao’s antics whenever Zhang Fan didn’t have a request to make.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Ma Wentao was so frustrated by Zhang Fan that he choked in anger; he had just wanted to set the atmosphere! “You’re such a barbarian! Someone’s coming who wants to become a major stockholder in our new hospital!” Ma Wentao was truly frustrated!

“What, you don’t want them to join?”

“Ridiculous! I don’t lack money, so why would I want her to join?” Ma Wentao was quite angry.

“You can’t stop her? Didn’t you brag last time when drunk about how there wasn’t anything you couldn’t take care of in the border province?”

“You already realize that I was only bragging while drunk, so why try and slap me in the face with that?”

“Fine, fine, fine, let’s talk properly.” Zhang Fan noticed that Ma Wentao really was getting angry, so he hurriedly agreed. He felt that Ma Wentao was just like a wild horse. Dealing with him would require proper restraint.

“She’s not someone from the border province. She’s actually from Beijing. Her father will probably be the next leader of the border province,” Ma Wentao said rather dejectedly.

“There’s no more hope for your family?” Zhang Fan asked just for the sake of appearances. He really had no interest in this topic at all!

“My father is getting old. He’ll serve one more term at most before he retires. I’m confused myself as well. Just how did she learn about my unassuming little hospital? She called me yesterday, and has already arrived in Chasu City today. She insists on treating you and me to a meal to discuss the matter of becoming a stockholder. This really is a calamity out of nowhere.”

“If you want to let her become a stockholder, then let her. If you don’t want to, then don’t let her. Just refuse. What do you have to worry about?” Zhang Fan had no good ideas. Someone as young as him didn’t really understand such things.

“If I want to just develop in Chasu City, of course I could just refuse her, and she wouldn’t be able to do anything to me! But if I want to develop nationally, I’ll need to compromise with countless people. Only though endless compromise will development be possible,” Ma Wentao explained.

“Oh! Then...” Zhang Fan fell silent.

“Just say it. We can be honest with each other. My ultimate goal is business. Your goal isn’t money, so we won’t have any conflicts with each other. You can say anything that you want without minding my feelings. Besides, have you ever cared about my feelings before!?” Ma Wentao ended up being the one trying to guide Zhang Fan in the end with how hesitant the latter was.

“If you can’t resist her, and your hospital becomes something that I no longer want to work for, I’ll instantly leave without asking for a single cent. You have a great dream, but so do I. I feel that it’s meaningless to distract myself because of money!” Zhang Fan spoke with a serious expression!

“Yeah, rest assured. I said before that this new hospital’s medical development will have you at the very core! But, you said that you’re not doing this for money, so that means you don’t need any surgery fees in the future whenever you’re working here, isn’t that right?” At first, Ma Wentao was being serious, but then he started joking around!

“It’s not like you lack the money that you’re paying me! Fine then! If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Zhang Fan felt that he could leave now.

“Not yet. She’s inviting us to a banquet! Yes, that’s right, you and me. She’s already investigated us thoroughly!” Ma Wentao explained to the confused Zhang Fan.

What powerful individual would make Ma Wentao so concerned? This woman was Nie Shasha, the boss of the medical equipment company that Yang Lu worked for! Yang Lu was the district manager who gave Zhang Fan a personal set of Bayer medical equipment after the live tumor surgery.

Nie Shasha’s ancestors had been in the military. Her father entered politics after leaving the military, but still had a militaristic aura to his politics. He was incredibly forceful! He was rotating around the various border provinces of China, and would soon be coming to this border province. He had great ambitions, and managed his children incredibly strictly.

Nie Shasha’s mother had been an army doctor. Nie Shasha was highly familiar with hospitals due to growing up in the army hospital. Nie Shasha also didn’t have an antagonistic relationship with her father like the one Ma Wentao had with his. Ma Wentao was purely starting up his hospital business as a way of refusing to join politics like his father!

Although Nie Shasha was still in her twenties, she had plenty of plans already. She opened up her own medical research facility which focused on creating imitation foreign medical equipment. A certain metal plate had a hole in the center? Then she would develop a metal plate with a hole slightly off to the side to avoid patent problems. She made plenty of money this way without causing any trouble for her family!

Yang Lu had reported Zhang Fan’s situation to Nie Shasha, who viewed this with great importance. She was highly interested in the medical field, and was quite knowledgeable regarding China’s expert doctors. She did some investigating, and even found out that Zhang Fan had studied at Bluebird City University Hospital. She contacted Superintendent Lu there, who angrily discussed Zhang Fan with her for quite a while because he really felt that Zhang Fan was wasting his genius. The conclusion she made was that Zhang Fan was a genius!

Nie Shasha then especially paid a visit to Qin Nuo, the only son of the Qin Family, who was the emergency military patient that Zhang Fan had previously saved. She brought along an expert orthopedic surgeon and expert neurosurgeon in order to check Qin Nuo’s condition. Both expert doctors had a very high opinion of the doctor who performed the surgery for Qin Nuo.

Nie Shasha was definitely highly interested in Zhang Fan. Although her father was quite powerful, it would be wise for a dragon to avoid tangling with a local power. She had her own ideas. She would share part of her benefits with the Qin Family in order to have them speak to Ma Wentao.

Actually, a large portion of Ma Wentao’s capital came from his fiancée Qin Rongyu. Nie Shasha’s method made it impossible for Ma Wentao to refuse. Besides, Nie Shasha was saying such polite things, such as that she only wanted some extra spending money without being interested in anything else.

This was why Ma Wentao was so worried. Any business would have its difficulties when it was first developing. Right now, he was just getting started.

They would all meet for a meal at the largest hotel in Chasu City. Ma Wentao drove his Mercedes Benz there, only to find that Nie Shasha and another woman were already waiting at the hotel entrance for them. She was really acting so humble here, perfect to the point where no complaints could be voiced!

Ma Wentao hurriedly parked his car and went up to greet them. Zhang Fan was quite confused again because he recognized the other woman with Nie Shasha!
