And so, a perfectly good class reunion ended after Zhao Gao fainted.
Before leaving, everyone looked at Qin Hui with astonishment. No one had expected Qin Hui to be the big shot in the end.
The most regretful among them was Zhao Jiani. If she had treated him better back then, she might have been able to latch onto Qin Hui. It seemed her judgment of people was indeed inferior to Qin Shishi’s.
After the class reunion, Qin Hui first asked Qin Shishi to go home because Zhao Wuji had said earlier that he needed his help with something.
In the luxurious crystal private room, Qin Hui sat leisurely on the sofa, savoring the wine in his glass.
"Doctor Qin, I came to the Vienna Hotel this time partly to accompany Mr. Zhou for a meal, and partly to treat Mr. Zhou's illness."
"Mr. Zhou's illness is too strange; I can't find any cause for it," Zhao Wuji said directly.
Zhou Qiming, standing by, looked on with a hint of expectation. Someone whom Divine Doctor Zhao treated with such respect must be a powerful individual.
"Alright, I'll take a look at Mr. Zhou then," Qin Hui said, putting down his wine glass and nodding slightly. In fact, when he shook hands earlier, Qin Hui had already sensed that Mr. Zhou's body was not quite right.
Zhou Qiming was naturally very cooperative. After all, this illness was extremely painful for him. Although he didn't look sick on the surface, he felt an unbearable headache every night!
After checking Mr. Zhou's pulse, Qin Hui's expression deepened slightly.
"Doctor Qin, what's the result?" Zhao Wuji asked curiously.
"Mr. Zhou's condition is not an illness, but rather he has been poisoned with Gu. It's a kind of Gu poison, which is why you couldn't find any cause," Qin Hui stated incisively.
"Gu poison?" Zhao Wuji's face instantly fell upon hearing this. He knew that although his medical skills were superb, he had very little research into the art of Gu poison. Typically, such Gu poisons were only found in the Miao region.
With the advancement of modernization, many people's views on Gu poison were no longer as fearful as before; they all thought it was fake.
"Doctor Qin, it's not a misdiagnosis, is it? Gu poison has long disappeared in this era." Zhou Qiming's expression became much calmer, but he felt extremely disdainful inside.
He had thought this Qin Hui had real abilities, but it turned out he was a charlatan. Gu poison? Zhou Qiming had received modern education and naturally disdained such superstitious claims. If it weren't for Zhao Wuji's sake, Zhou Qiming would have probably thrown Qin Hui out directly.
Qin Hui naturally noticed the change in Zhou Qiming's tone. He didn't offer much explanation. Whether people believed or not had little to do with him. If Zhou Qiming wanted to be treated, Qin Hui could naturally do it. If he refused, Qin Hui wouldn't shamelessly insist on treating him. After all, Qin Hui had his own principles.
Sensing the shift in both their attitudes, Zhao Wuji quickly tried to smooth things over. "How about we end today's consultation here? If Mr. Zhou's symptoms flare up, I'll find Doctor Qin to treat him. What do you think?"
"Alright," Zhou Qiming waved his hand, his meaning clear: "Farewell."
A few minutes later, Qin Hui and Zhao Wuji walked out of the hotel together.
"Doctor Qin, I apologize. I didn't expect things to turn out this way today." Zhao Wuji quickly apologized on Zhou Qiming's behalf, as he had witnessed Qin Hui's capabilities.
"Oh?" Qin Hui asked with some surprise, "It seems that Zhou Qiming has a good relationship with you?" Otherwise, Zhao Wuji wouldn't have apologized to him on Zhou Qiming's behalf.
"We had some dealings in the past," Zhao Wuji nodded slightly, acknowledging it.
"Alright then. Since you have some connection with him, it would be unreasonable for me not to help," Qin Hui stated. "However, if he seeks my treatment next time, he must pay a consultation fee of fifty million yuan in advance."
"Moreover, I predict that he will suffer a splitting headache tonight, with blood flowing from his eyes." Qin Hui said in a calm tone. Qin Hui held a prestigious position in the medical field, and being questioned by a hotel owner like that was an affront to his dignity.
Qin Hui's principles were simple: if you had a good attitude, he would treat you like any common citizen. If you doubted him, then he was sorry, but it would take a mountain of gold to earn a single treatment from him.
"Yes, yes." Zhao Wuji nodded repeatedly, realizing that Qin Hui was truly angered.
After parting ways with Zhao Wuji, it was already past nine in the evening. Qin Hui decided to go home and rest. If he didn't go home tonight, who knew if Jiang Yanxi would call him again. He had originally wanted to visit Sister Xue, but it seemed he would have to postpone it.
When Qin Hui returned home, the black tiger immediately ran up to him and snarled at Qin Hui like a ferocious dragon.
"Stop barking. If you keep barking, believe it or not, I'll beat you up." Qin Hui decided to use a more forceful approach with a dog; otherwise, it wouldn't be tamed.
As expected, upon seeing Qin Hui's actions, the black tiger calmed down considerably. More importantly, the black tiger couldn't defeat Qin Hui, or it would have pounced and bitten him to death long ago.
Qin Hui walked around the villa and realized that Jiang Yanxi hadn't returned home yet. She must be working overtime again.
"Black Tiger, come here," Qin Hui called out.
The black tiger gave Qin Hui a look as if he were an idiot and completely ignored the person who had trespassed into its home.
"Oh, still got a temper, huh? I really don't know how that woman Jiang Yanxi tamed you."
"Come here obediently, and I'll cook some good bones for you later." Qin Hui directly changed his strategy. Although this black tiger was a bit mischievous towards him, it was ultimately very loyal to Jiang Yanxi. To win over Jiang Yanxi in the future, he had to get along with the black tiger. Thinking of this, Qin Hui felt a bit of a headache. He, a living person, had to get along with a dog; if this got out, it would surely be a laughing matter.
Indeed, as soon as it heard about bones, the black tiger immediately stuck out its tongue and happily walked towards Qin Hui. After all, large bones were a fatal temptation for the black tiger.
"Heh heh, as long as you behave, you won't be short of good food in the future." Qin Hui placed a hand on the black tiger's head, his tone adopting that of a master of the house.
Feeling Qin Hui's large hand, the black tiger gave Qin Hui a cold glance, thinking, If you don't cook several large bones for me, I'll bite you to death.
After pacifying the black tiger, Qin Hui busied himself in the kitchen. Qin Hui wasn't hungry; he had eaten his fill at the class reunion. However, Jiang Yanxi was different. When this woman worked overtime, she wouldn't stop day or night, so she definitely hadn't eaten dinner.
Half an hour later, Qin Hui had cooked two dragon bones. He left the dragon bone broth in the pot because he was going to cook noodles.
Seeing the two delicious bones, the black tiger became much happier, as it hadn't eaten bones in a long time. Jiang Yanxi rarely cooked when she was at home, let alone cook bones for it.
The black tiger ate happily nearby, and with a look that said, "You've done a good job," it cast its gaze at Qin Hui, implying that Qin Hui should work harder in the future. Seeing this remarkably human-like black tiger, Qin Hui was speechless. If it were a few more years, this black tiger would probably have become a spirit.
