Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1043

In less than a week's time, The Li's Hospital's name spread throughout Jade City like wildfire.

There was an endless stream of people coming in for consultations, and the number was increasing each day. It was even more popular than when the Sincere Medicine Center opened.

With the fame of The Li's Hospital, the business of Sincere Medicine Center was gravely affected. The number of patients grew lesser each day. In a week, the number of patients that went to the Sincere Medicine Center was less than half of the previous week.

Moreover, amongst them, many patients only came to the Sincere Medicine Center because they were unable to obtain a booking at the Li's Hospital.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, they complained constantly.

Some huffed that the queue here was too long and they had to wait for a long time.

Some complained that the environment of Sincere Medicine Center was so bad. Patients didn't even have a place to lay down.

Some even said that the price of medicinal treatment in Sincere Medicine Center was much more expensive than the Li's Hospital.

These complaints, as expected, brought some negative impacts on the reputation of Sincere Medicine Center.

As the situation continued to worsen, Lily couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She asked, "Fade, do you not care about the Li's Hospital?"

Fade looked at the anxious Lily and poured her a glass of water. He smiled in response, "Sister Lily, how can I care about the affairs of some other hospital? Besides, you really don't have to worry about it at all."

Lily frowned, "Why should I not be worried? Sincere Medicine Center's business is deteriorating each day, and our public reputation is also badly affected. If this continues, the Li's Hospital will surpass us. I am worried that our qualifications to participate in the medical reforms may be revoked."

Fade patted Lily's shoulders to calm her anxiety down. He chuckled, "Sister Lily, this matter really isn't that bad."

"Just think about it. the Li's Hospital is clearly the result of Miss Sasha's work. She's trying to spend money mindlessly without taking the costs into account. Since this hospital is operating at a complete loss, it will not last for long."

"But the Li family is wealthy. What if they..." Lily was still worried.

Fade smirked, "If the Li family keeps subsidizing their hospital to support its development, then that doesn't matter. After all, the Li's Hospital has indeed lowered down the price of medical care, and this has benefited more ordinary people."

"Isn't the purpose of Jade City's medical reform is to allow ordinary people to enjoy affordable medical care? Now that the Li family is willing to spend money to make medical treatments affordable, its original purpose is no longer important. After all, look at what the results have been!"

Listening to Fade's words, Lily couldn't help but feel startled. Her expression looked strange.

She was viewing this matter from the perspective of a businesswoman and treated the Li's Hospital as a competitor to Sincere Medicine Center. The growth of the other party naturally caused the rise of Lily's anxiety and tension.

However, Fade was looking at this matter from a doctor's point of view. It didn't matter to him whether The Li's Hospital or Sincere Medicine Center outshone their competitor as long as it would bring more benefits to normal citizens.

Although Lily understood Fade's thoughts, her instinct as a businesswoman still put a frown on her face. She voiced her concerns, "Even so, don't we need to do something about it? Should we watch as the Li's Hospital continues to grow?"

Fade shook his head, "Of course not. I just mentioned that the development and growth of the Li's Hospital are good for ordinary people. However, it has to be based on the fact that the Li's Hospital is always willing to invest so much money into the hospital's costs."

"However, this possibility is not high. Once the Li's Hospital has attracted enough patients and managed to bring down its competitors, they will raise their prices. All their previous efforts in promoting their cheap Chinese medicine will only backfire on them. Also, it may bring about an adverse effect on the consumers' confidence towards Chinese Medicine."

"Such a result is definitely not something I want to see," Fade was very sure that this situation was likely to happen.

After all, a similar situation had already occurred in Sincere Medicine Center.

Sincere Medicine Center was highly praised for its extremely cheap medicine prices when it first launched. When the price of medicines at the Li's Hospital was lowered, many patients began to grow dissatisfied with the service of Sincere Medicine Center.

After all, humans were selfish. This instinct would remain unchanged since it was deeply rooted in human nature.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Fade would obviously not sit still.

"What are you going to do?" Lily looked at Fade curiously.

Fade smiled mysteriously at Lily, "I'll keep it a secret for now. When the time comes, you will definitely know."

"Hey, you are still keeping secrets from me!" Lily glared at Fade but didn't pry further. She stood up and said, "I won't ask anymore since you already have a plan ready. I will go over to Fei Enterprises Holdings while you can continue to work here."

"Okay. Goodbye, Sister Lily," Fade bid farewell to Lily.

The next day, Sincere Medicine Center was operating as usual, but the number of patients at the entrance of the pharmacy seemed to be lesser than the day before.

Fade wasn't bothered about this. He greeted the shop assistants and drove out.

The car drove all the way to the airport. Fade was going there to pick up a friend, who was also going to play a large and important part in his next plan.

When he arrived at the airport, Fade quickly met with his friend.

It was a foreigner who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She had short brown hair and a pair of sunglasses on. She was slim, but her skin was tanned. In addition, she also had toned muscles, a sign that she was someone who worked out pretty often.

"Fade, I'm so happy to see you again," The woman was passionate and greeted Fade with a smile as soon as she saw him. She quickly pulled him into a friendly hug.

Feeling the woman's soft but powerful muscles, Fade smiled and patted her on the back. He laughed, "Liza, it's been a long time."

The woman was no one else but Liza, the well-known gourmet and journalist from Micovia.

When Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc first launched the Life Elixir Wine in Bay City, Fade and Liza had met because of a misunderstanding. Later, Liza was convinced by the magical taste and medical effects of the Life Elixir Wine introduced by Fade. Later on, Fade even managed to cure Liza's teacher, Douglas, who was also a well-known gourmet.

As such, Liza felt very grateful towards Fade. After hearing that Fade needed her help, she immediately rushed to Jade City.

Fade escorted Liza into the car. Then, he got into the car as well and started the engine.

In the car, Liza asked, "Fade, where are we going now? Shall we go directly to your pharmacy?"

Fade grinned, "Don't worry about the pharmacy. Liza, you are my precious and noble guest, so how can I neglect you? First of all, I'll have to bring you around for some lunch."

Liza smiled while patting her stomach, "That's true. The meal on the plane was so unpalatable that I was about to throw up."

"I'm afraid there's no such airplane meal in the world that can satisfy your tastebuds yet," Fade joked. He asked her, "By the way, Liza, do you have any preferences or diet restrictions? I'm asking someone to look for a suitable restaurant in Jade City."

Upon mentioning this, Liza seemed to have thought of something. She clapped her hands together and said, "Speaking of which, I know of a pretty nice restaurant here, so let's go there!"
