Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Brother Qiu Has Powerful Connections

Li Jingsheng finished his meal in less than six minutes.

Wolfing down his food isn’t healthy, but there’s no alternative; he must be prepared before Manager Hu arrives.

If Hu arrives to find him still eating slowly, the first impression would be terrible.

For those thriving clinics, they never lack pharmaceutical companies and representatives.

Li Jingsheng wouldn’t dare compare with them; his business is disastrously poor. Even he isn’t clueless enough to expect pharmaceutical companies and reps to curry favor with him—how could that be possible?

He prepared all the documents required for opening a contract account.

Since he had already opened one account before, he was well aware of the required documents.

After preparing the contract application materials, he carefully reviewed the purchase order again.

Tang Ping had also finished her meal by this time and came over to help Li Jingsheng verify the documents.

She always eats slowly and carefully, with elegant manners.

Even in ancient times, she’d probably be considered a model lady.

The latest model of a white BMW X7 parked outside the clinic.

A scholarly middle-aged man around forty, accompanied by a young man and a young woman with wavy shoulder-length hair, walked straight over after getting out.

Before entering, they glanced up at the signage.

Li Jingsheng observed these three, all dressed like typical corporate elites, with suits, shirts, and leather shoes.

Only the young woman wasn’t wearing a tie, although she had a delicate white blouse under her black blazer. Her earrings were two simple purple pearls hanging naturally on either side.

As she moved, they subtly accentuated her exquisite shoulder-length hair, adding a touch of sophistication.

She held a folder, with a glimpse of a perfectly fitted metal watch on her slender left wrist, and an iPad in her right hand.

The first impression was that this woman was particularly adept at dressing up.

Her demeanor was unmistakable.

Just like those corporate secretaries and elite women seen on TV.

The leading middle-aged man had no beer belly, his figure quite well-proportioned.

Faintly visible were his muscle contours.

As he walked, he carried himself with confidence, moving with ease while exuding strong self-assurance. His presence alone was enough to tell he wasn’t an ordinary worker. He must at least be a multi-millionaire entrepreneur.

The young man trailing behind appeared to be under thirty, projecting a shrewd and capable aura, walking with a brisk pace.

His right hand carried a briefcase.

"May I ask, are you Manager Hu?"

Recognizing their attire and demeanor, Li Jingsheng instantly understood they were likely the team led by Manager Hu from Best Medicine.

"I am Hu Wenjing, the one you spoke with on the phone. I recognized your voice as Boss Li the moment I heard it. I didn’t expect Boss Li to be so young, truly accomplished to open a clinic at such a young age."

The middle-aged man smiled warmly as he quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Li Jingsheng.

During the handshake, Li Jingsheng adopted a humble posture.

He grasped Hu’s right hand with both hands.

"In front of you three, I dare not regard myself as a ’boss.’ Please call me Li Jingsheng or Dr. Li! You’ve seen the clinic’s condition; it’s just a small operation. I wonder if it meets your company’s standards?"

Li Jingsheng was particularly candid.

To be honest, he felt a bit self-conscious.

"I see your certifications are complete on the wall; the clinic has several medicine cabinets, a doctor, and a nurse. It’s small but thorough. You’re perfectly eligible to cooperate with our company."

With a casual glance, Manager Hu gave a direct affirmation.

The woman with the folder, after scrutinizing the clinic inside and out, subtly furrowed her brows. Despite remaining silent, it was clear that the clinic hadn’t met her standards.

Hu’s prompt approval seemed to surprise her; instinctively, she looked over at Hu.

Unfortunately, Hu paid her no attention, focusing entirely on Li Jingsheng.

She was left to turn her gaze toward the young man with the briefcase.

He nodded slightly to her, signaling her to follow Hu’s lead.

"Don’t just stand there talking; please have a seat!"

Li Jingsheng invited them to sit on the sofa meant for guests.

It’s merely a traditional wooden sofa.

For easier cleaning, the clinic typically avoids using fabric and leather sofas.

Metal chairs and wooden sofas are most prevalent.

"So, can I sign a contract and apply for an account with your company?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"Yes, absolutely."

Manager Hu reaffirmed.

Tang Ping then brought over two cups of water, carrying only two at a time, making two trips, and also poured a cup for Li Jingsheng.

She then went to the counter to resume her salesperson role.

She was very savvy, never dabbling in her boss’s procurement or paperwork matters.

Some employees don’t know their place, dreaming of becoming the boss after just a few days’ work, incessantly inquiring.

Where the drugs are procured, what’s the purchase price—they can’t stop probing.

Eventually, the boss would likely send them packing.

"Could you let me check your ID for verification?"

For caution, Li Jingsheng insisted on verifying the necessary documents.

Even with considerations of courtesy, failing to clarify certain inquiries, request certain documents, or verify identities is a common mistake for newbies in society.

There’s nothing embarrassing about it.

Otherwise, his hard-earned savings of more than thirty thousand yuan could be easily swindled, leaving him no place to cry.

Upon hearing Li Jingsheng’s request, Hu and his team were noticeably startled.

Quickly recovering.

"Sure, of course. It’s essential to verify our identity before signing. Here’s my ID, my work pass, and our branch office’s credentials."

Manager Hu handed over his ID and work pass for Li Jingsheng to verify.
