Light came in through the window, and there was silence. At this time, the hospital is very deserted, and the busiest hours are between 10 and 12 am. Bursts of laughter can be heard from the nearest internal medicine office, where doctors and nurses are laughing at each other.

It's really getting more and more deserted recently, Xiao Long sighed in his heart. Three years ago, the hospital was very lively, but since the resignation of his father's disciple, the excellent chief physician of internal medicine, the situation has begun to deteriorate, especially the resignation of the chief surgeon with excellent medical skills a year ago, which has greatly reduced the number of patients. The situation of the hospital is getting worse and worse, and the deficit is increasing every month.

Although the hospital's business is not doing well, Xiao Long, as the director, is completely unimpressed. He has his own means to fill the deficit, and it doesn't matter if the hospital's business is not good, he has no sense of competing with other hospitals at all.

The hospital was founded by his deceased father, and Xiao Long only inherited it as a matter of course, he had no interest in practicing medicine, and after becoming the director, he rarely consulted patients and had no intention of running it.

Speaking of which, being a dean is actually quite good. Although the hospital is operating at a loss, and it is impossible to know what others think of you in their hearts, at least on the surface, it is still respectful. Thirty-two-year-old Xiao Long has deeply tasted the sweetness of fame.

Xiao Long walked into the dean's office and looked at the catalog of goods sent by an antique store called Gu Longxuan. Recently, some new antiques have been brought in. Some of them are precious. He was very interested in a dish from the early Qing Dynasty, and after asking Gu Longxuan, he learned that it would cost at least 500,000 yuan to buy it. Although I haven't seen the actual thing yet, it is said to be quite collectible.

Gu Longxuan's boss had been chattering before

Peddling to Xiao Long: "Others are buying this."

The battle for saucers has already begun, I still think

Send the dishes to you, Dean, like this

Treasures, if you don't go where it should be, it will

Weeping. ”

Although it was a business flattery, Xiao Long returned

It is very useful. From his student days, he was:

He had a soft spot for antiques, and at that time, his father was often there

Persuaded by an antique store to buy back a bunch of antiques. Myself

It is also unconsciously affected and cultivated

Hobby.

Xiao Long deliberately was in a large room on the second floor of the hospital

There are four rows of glass exhibition shelves in the room, which are dazzling

The floor is filled with its own collection. The collection here

There are hundreds of pots, and in addition,

There are also hundreds of items in the warehouse.

In the corner of the exhibition room, a red blanket is laid out

There are bamboo pillars standing all around, and an ink painting hangs in the corner of the wall

Landscape painting. This arrangement makes people feel as if

It is a special display in a high-end antique shop

room, or a room in an art museum.

Those who are fortunate enough to come to the audience will be personally performed by Xiao Long

The treatment of the tea ceremony to send tea, the tea bowl used looks good

It's worth a lot of money to go.

Although the situation of the hospital is beyond his means, Xiao Long still refuses to give up his hobby of collecting. On the one hand, it is certainly out of interest, and on the other hand, collecting is also an investment for him. said that it was an investment, but Xiao Long never thought of cashing it out. He would rather boast that he owns a collection worth tens of millions of dollars than sell them to relieve the hospital's operating difficulties. In fact, he did so with his own intentions, because the women who were invited to view the antiques could not help but be attracted by the elegant atmosphere created by the artwork.

There was a soft knock on the door, and a man came from

Xiao Long walked over silently behind him, alone

When he knocked on the door, he knew it was the chief of affairs, this man

People have always been light-hearted.

"Shunfeng Firm sent a payment notice." The chief clerk's skinny fingers pinched four or five pieces of paper stacked together, placed them in front of Xiao Long's eyes, and continued in a hoarse voice: "This month is seventy-two thousand four hundred yuan, and the pharmacy department has confirmed it and stamped it. Together with the $215,000 previously owed, the total is $287,400. Shunfeng Comptoir said that it was okay to pay half of it for the time being, and asked them when they could come to withdraw the money. ”

Xiao Long picked up the payment notice with his fingertips and threw it into the folder without looking at it.

"You tell them, I'll call later."

"You've been procrastinating like this before, so be sure to give us a clear date. Otherwise, I'll be in a quandary. The chief said with a bitter face.

"I've already said that I'll let them know the date of payment later!"

Xiao Long's voice was low. His eyes were fixed on Gu Longxuan's catalog, and he could glance at the Chief's clothes with his spare eyes.

The chief clerk glanced at the antique catalogue with a gloomy gaze, "Shunfeng Comptoir said that if the payment is delayed any longer, the supply of medicines may be stopped. He said this in a dry tone and then turned away, still silent.

Xiao Long glared disgustedly at the door and turned around.

Whether it's the pharmacist's bill or what, Xiao Long doesn't want to care, the most important thing at the moment is to get 500,000 yuan and get his hands on the Qing Chu dish he likes.

Lai Qianxiu! Xiao Long's mind immediately appeared with the figure of this woman, she has always been the best person to pay money. However, he just borrowed 1 million yuan from her a week ago, and now it will be more difficult for her to give another 500,000 yuan, so it is better to borrow 5 million yuan from her at one time a month later.

Xiao Long remembered Dragon Ball again, this woman has money, runs a first-class fashion store, and sells imported clothes in popular styles, so she should make a lot of money. According to the introduction, Xia Zhifang said that she has a net worth of at least 100 million yuan, but unfortunately, he and her are not yet in a relationship that they can get money with money.

Where should I go? Let's go to Lai Qianxiu's house and sit down. But the time was still early, he didn't want to pass now, Xiao Long drove aimlessly for a while, and suddenly thought of meeting Xia Zhifang, but he didn't know if he was at home now. Xiao Long parked the car on the side of the street, dialed the phone, and the person who answered the phone was the old employee of Xia Zhifang's family.

"Sir is not at home now."

Xia Zhifang has always been single, and there is only this old employee in the family.

"I'm Xiao Long, do you know where he went?" Xiao Long often goes to Xia Zhifang's house as a guest, so the way he speaks to the old people is relatively casual.

"I don't know, he didn't say where he was going, and he didn't say when he would be back. If I come back, I will tell my husband that you have called. ”

"No need, I'll call again."

"Okay, goodbye."

The voice of the old employee makes people feel chilled. Xia Zhifang has been living in a dilapidated home with this old man, Xia Zhifang, who is thirty-five years old, has no plans to get married, wanders around all day, and it is common not to go home for two weeks in a row, and he will never tell you where he is going in advance.

Despite this, Xia Zhifang has never done anything bad about breaking the law and discipline, nor has he indulged in pleasure, so he can be said to be a man with no hobbies. If he insists on having any hobbies, he is interested in inquiring about all kinds of gossip in society.

Xiao Long had no destination again, so he had to roam on the road. While he was driving, he was thinking about Dragon Ball. Xiao Long has known Dragon Ball for five months, and the introducer is Xia Zhifang.

After roaming for a while, Xiao Long looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he drove the car to Lai Qianxiu's house.

Lai Qianxiu runs a large home goods store in the shopping street, and this high-end store is very popular with customers. Xiao Long rarely drove to her shop, but went directly to her home, a quiet house. Lai's house was bought from a well-known industrialist before World War II, and the long wall enclosed it was surrounded by a large main house among the lush trees. Xiao Long did not park the car at the front door of her house, nor did he park at the side door. The entrance and exit of his parking lot was a brand-new specially set door - it was the entrance and exit specially created for Xiao Long by the owner Lai Qianxiu. Lai Qianxiu felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to let Xiao Long enter and exit from the main gate frequently, so he specially built a special door for him, which was enough to show Lai Qianxiu's attitude towards Xiao Long. When Xiao Long arrived at Lai Qianxiu's house, he walked along the courtyard as if he had entered his own door, and through the lush trees, he could see the lights at the entrance in shadows.

Xiao Long opened the door and walked in. When he took off his shoes, the maid An Ping came over, An Ping was Lai Qianxiu's personal servant, and among the three maids in Lai Qianxiu's family, An Ping was the eldest, already forty-two or thirteen years old.
