"Do you even have the qualifications?" Qiao Weiwei couldn't help but sneer when she saw Wang Xin again. "If you were qualified, you wouldn't be standing here at the hotel entrance?"
Wang Xin said coldly, "Even if we're standing at the hotel entrance, look around. Aren't they all influential people? Can a delivery person compare to this?"
The surrounding wealthy guests expressed their agreement. Even those standing at the hotel entrance were influential figures. This was hardly a place a delivery person should be.
"Just kick him out!" one of the wealthy guests said impatiently.
"Did you hear that?" Wang Xin said triumphantly. "Li Se, get lost. If you stay any longer, you'll offend many important people!"
"Who do you think you are, telling me to offend people?"
Just then, a disdainful voice rang out. Shang Zhifeng was also among the wealthy guests. He had intended to leave directly, as he couldn't get into the hotel, and standing at the entrance was of no use. He hadn't expected to run into Li Se.
"President Shang, how come you..." Wang Xin was taken aback.
Shang Zhifeng snorted coldly and walked up to Li Se. "Divine Doctor Li, I thought you weren't coming?"
"The Xiao family invited me, how could I not come?" Li Se smiled.
Shang Zhifeng's expression changed. "Divine Doctor Li, the Xiao family you mentioned, do you mean..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, Li Se understood his meaning and nodded with a smile.
Shang Zhifeng took a deep breath. No wonder his invitation to Li Se was rejected; it turned out that important figure had already invited him.
At that moment, he even suspected that the important figure might have come to Qingyun City precisely for Li Se.
Shang Zhifeng didn't dwell on the topic and instead looked coldly at Wang Xin. "Is your Wang family getting too arrogant? What kind of thing are you to dare to shout here!"
Wang Xin's face turned red. He lowered his head, not daring to speak. Being reprimanded by Shang Zhifeng in front of so many people made him lose all face, yet he didn't dare to retort.
Wang Huiwen and Ma Xiaofang dared not speak either, but they were both incredibly shocked. How did Li Se know Shang Zhifeng?
Zhang Yunyun suddenly realized. No wonder Li Se had a villa in Qing Shui Wan; it turned out he knew Shang Zhifeng.
"Someone can go in now!"
At this moment, someone exclaimed.
A stir went through the crowd.
A middle-aged man in a white coat, leading his team, swaggered into the hotel.
Upon seeing this person, Li Se was surprised. Wasn't this Wang Xiang? How did he have the qualification to enter the hotel? Was he invited by the Xiao family?
Wang Xiang was incredibly smug at this moment. He also noticed Li Se, a look of disdain flashing across his face. So what if his medical skills were good? You don't even have the qualification to go in!
Wang Xiang's entry drew envy from many.
Qiao Weiwei said helplessly, "Li Se, it seems we can't get in."
"We can get in." Li Se smiled, then walked up to the two soldiers and whispered something.
"Hmph, even if you know President Shang, so what?" Wang Xin muttered under his breath. "Even President Shang can't get in, and you think you can?"
Wang Huiwen and Ma Xiaofang nodded in agreement. How could Li Se possibly have the qualification to enter?
Even Zhang Yunyun, who felt Li Se had become different, didn't think Li Se could get in.
But just then, the two soldiers parted, clearly making way for Li Se to enter.
"How is that possible?" Wang Xin and the others' eyes widened.
"Weiwei, let's go." Li Se waved to Qiao Weiwei.
Qiao Weiwei was also stunned, then followed him.
This drew envy and jealousy from many wealthy guests. Some couldn't help but look at Wang Xin. It was Wang Xin who had just said Li Se was a delivery person, but now he was entering the hotel. Could he be a delivery person?
Wang Xin's face turned from pale to purple. Although he found it hard to accept, the facts were right before his eyes.
Lin Hui and his son, and Hong Tai and his son, had grim expressions at this moment. How could Li Se get into the hotel? If this was the case, it would be extremely difficult for them to deal with Li Se.
Inside the hotel.
Xiao Tian looked at the many wealthy guests gathered downstairs and felt speechless. "Why are so many people here?"
Ding Peng smiled and said, "With Elder Master Xiao's status, everyone wants to curry favor."
Then he looked at the imperial physician treating Xiao Zhanguo. This imperial physician was named Zhang Weidong, a Western medicine practitioner.
Among the imperial physicians, only two were traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, namely Sun Bai and Li Zhongfu. The rest were all Western medicine practitioners.
Zhang Weidong was specifically responsible for Xiao Zhanguo's health problems. He was also a military doctor, but Xiao Zhanguo occasionally invited Sun Bai to treat him.
Both Chinese and Western medicine could be used, which would increase the probability of a cure.
Zhang Weidong was somewhat dismissive of the doctors invited by the wealthy guests. "Elder Xiao, with us imperial physicians here, why would we need to come to Qingyun City?"
He was actually quite puzzled by Xiao Zhanguo coming to Qingyun City for medical treatment. Beijing had the best imperial physician team and the most advanced medical equipment. Over the years, countless people had come to Beijing for treatment. It was unlikely that they would come to Qingyun City.
He had also heard some time ago that someone in Qingyun City had applied to become an imperial physician, but he was somewhat disdainful. How many people had applied to be imperial physicians over the years, and how many had actually become imperial physicians?
Xiao Zhanguo smiled and said, "I heard there is an extraordinary doctor in Qingyun City, so I came to take a look."
Zhang Weidong shook his head, not optimistic, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Wang Xiang entered. When he saw Xiao Zhanguo, his expression changed, and he quickly said respectfully, "General Xiao!"
He knew that important figures had come from Beijing, but he never expected it to be this important figure.
"You are Wang Xiang?" Xiao Tian asked him.
"Indeed." Wang Xiang nodded.
Xiao Tian said, "I heard you controlled the Mandrake poison some time ago. My grandfather is poisoned, you can take a look."
"Alright." Wang Xiang nodded and immediately walked over. His assistants also followed.
After a round of examination, Wang Xiang shook his head. "General Xiao, I'm afraid I can't do anything. This poison is too deeply hidden, and it's been around for a long time. I..."
"Elder Xiao, I told you long ago that even our imperial physicians are helpless. How could a mere Qingyun City have someone who can cure your illness?" Zhang Weidong said somewhat disdainfully.
Wang Xiang looked embarrassed.
"Alright, you can step down." Zhang Weidong waved his hand.
Wang Xiang looked bewildered. Was he just dismissed just like that?
He felt as if he had come, but also as if he hadn't.
Suddenly.
"Ah!"
Xiao Zhanguo clutched his chest, his face filled with pain.
Zhang Weidong's expression changed. "The poison is acting up!"
As a Western medicine practitioner, he naturally used medical equipment. But just as he was about to administer emergency treatment to Xiao Zhanguo, a voice rang out at this moment.
"This won't help you, and it will only make Elder General Xiao die faster!"
