The Supreme Village Doctor

Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Too Expensive

Seeing Li Yang’s inexplicable smile, Zhang Li flushed slightly. "I really just wanted to treat you to a meal."

Li Yang, however, decided to tease her. "But I still think that other night was a bit better..." he murmured.

Zhang Li glared at him.

"Alright, a meal it is." Li Yang smiled faintly.

Inside, Manager Gao was already on the phone with her boss.

"Three and a half million?" The boss sucked in a sharp breath. "That price is far too high."

"Boss..." Manager Gao tried her best to persuade him. "With his abilities, the price is high, but it’s still worth it. The most important part is that after he trains our hotel staff, we can establish a monopoly. I’ve already negotiated with the technicians. They’ve agreed to forgo their salaries for one year and work for us for a second year. They can only leave after two years are up."

"That price is still too high." The boss found it hard to swallow. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about you try talking to him again?"

"I tried, but it was no use..." Manager Gao said with a bitter smile. "He’s being very resolute. Nothing I say sways him. I’m guessing he must have some urgent need for that three and a half million."

The boss was still hesitating.

"Boss, he said he can’t wait for long..." Manager Gao reminded him.

"I’ll handle it!" a young voice piped up on the other end. "He’s asking for a ridiculous amount. I’ll go talk to him."

Manager Gao’s heart jumped in alarm. She reflexively protested, "Young Master Peng, maybe it’s better if you don’t..."

But it was no use. The call had already been disconnected.

Clearly, Young Master Peng was already on his way.

Manager Gao’s heart sank. ’This is bad,’ she thought. ’This Young Master Peng is just a spoiled brat who doesn’t know anything. If he clashes with Li Yang, we might lose everything from this deal.’

But there was nothing she could do but wait nervously.

About half an hour later, Young Master Peng arrived.

Young Master Peng was dressed in an expensive, custom-tailored suit, and he looked incredibly arrogant.

"What makes you think you’re worth that much money?" Young Master Peng deliberately boomed, striding up to Li Yang. "You’re trying to rip us off, thinking you can bully Manager Gao because she’s easy to talk to, is that it?"

Li Yang raised an eyebrow. ’So, he’s here to lowball me,’ he thought.

Manager Gao shot Li Yang an apologetic smile, then began, "Young Master Peng..."

"That’s enough, Manager Gao, not another word!" Young Master Peng cut her off. "Two million. Take it or get out."

Li Yang nodded and said to Manager Gao, "In that case, Manager Gao, I’ll be leaving."

Manager Gao’s face fell in horror. "Mr. Li, wait."

But Li Yang didn’t say another word; he had already walked out.

Infuriated, Manager Gao quickly chased after him. "Mr. Li, we can discuss this further!"

Young Master Peng grew angry. "Manager Gao, don’t waste any more words on him. Just let him go. I’d like to see what he does now! Who else is going to pay him that much money?"

The technicians were all dumbfounded.

Li Yang glanced back at Manager Gao and said seriously, "Please settle my pay for these last two days. Just transfer it to my phone. Our partnership ends here."

"Mr. Li, don’t take Young Master Peng seriously... He’s not my boss. This matter still requires my boss’s final decision..."

Li Yang laughed. "He’s your boss’s son, right? Your boss already sent him over, so what more is there to say? He can obviously make the decision. Anyway, let’s not talk about it. Just send me my money. We’ll look for another chance to work together some other time."

With that, Li Yang turned and walked away.

Manager Gao was filled with regret.

Young Master Peng walked out and said disdainfully, "He’s just some hick. Where else is he going to find bosses like us? Don’t worry. No one’s a sucker. Who would pay him that kind of money? Don’t listen to his nonsense."

Manager Gao felt terrible, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything to Young Master Peng, so she just kept quiet.

Li Yang was actually quite angry himself. ’I negotiated with them for so long, and this is the attitude I get?’

’Two million?’

’What do you take my skills for?!’

He walked out of the hotel, fuming.

But he hadn’t gotten far when he heard someone call out from behind him, "Mr. Li..."

Li Yang turned to see a middle-aged man looking at them with a fawning expression. "You must be Mr. Li, who just came out of the Fenglaiyi Hotel, right?"

’This is a small circle,’ he thought. ’Someone already recognizes me?’

"And you are?" Li Yang asked curiously.

"Hello, Mr. Li. I’m Ma Chao." He quickly handed over his business card. "I’m the general manager of the Dynasty Hotel, and one of its shareholders. I’ve already heard that a master therapist had shown up at the Fenglaiyi Hotel. I didn’t expect Young Master Peng would slight you like that. He truly has no eye for talent. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to come take a look at our hotel."

Li Yang understood. A competitor was trying to poach him.

’His intel is impressive,’ he thought. ’He got wind of this so quickly.’

"You want to buy my training?" Li Yang asked directly.
