One minute?
Liu Yuting curled her lip. In her eyes, Ye Changqing was a loser. He had been to prison, lost his family fortune, and his wife had left him. He had no money, no abilities, and a lot of bad habits. She graduated from a prestigious school and was a talent that Fortune 500 companies would compete for. She joined the Fengnian Group because of Zhao Qiuyan. She had never taken Ye Changqing seriously.
However, Ye Changqing claimed that he could solve the problem that she and Zhao Qiuyan couldn't handle. And he said he could do it in just one minute. It was simply outrageous.
"Ye Changqing, you say you can solve it, right? Fine! I'll time you. Let's see how you solve it in one minute!"
Zhao Qiuyan didn't believe Ye Changqing could solve it either. Chen Minghui was an opponent of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, he had just been humiliated by Ye Changqing. If Ye Changqing went to see him, it would only make the conflict more intense.
However, she had an inexplicable faith in Ye Changqing. "Then go ahead and try. Whether you succeed or not, don't have a conflict. If you can't solve it, we'll find another way."
Ye Changqing nodded and went to the doctor's office.
In the office, Liu Minghui was on the phone. "Three hundred thousand yuan, not a penny less. I'm betting my career on this."
The voice on the phone sounded weak. "Doctor Liu, you're making it very difficult for me. Newspapers are losing - making businesses these days. I have limited funds."
Liu Minghui said with a smile, "Don't be silly. Do you expect to make money from selling newspapers? The money you earn from selling newspapers isn't even enough for you to buy tea. I'm under a lot of pressure. Just now, people from the Fengnian Group came to see me. If you don't give me three hundred thousand yuan, forget about it. I'll find someone else to cooperate with."
The person on the other end of the line suddenly became decisive. "I'll give you three hundred thousand yuan! I'll transfer the money to you right now."
Ding - dong!
A mobile phone notification sound rang.
Chen Minghui clenched his fist excitedly when he saw the notification.
Just then, the door creaked open.
Chen Minghui was furious. "Who let you in without knocking..."
His words stopped halfway.
It was Ye Changqing.
Ye Changqing didn't waste words. He got straight to the point. "Retract the false statements about the Bupleurum injection!"
Chen Minghui got angry when he saw Ye Changqing. This guy had just managed to wake up a vegetative patient by sheer luck. Because of this, he had been made to look worthless by the patient's family. He, a respected doctor with a doctorate, was even asked to learn from this uneducated quack.
Now this guy was asking him to retract those statements.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think I'll retract them just because you ask me to?"
Ye Changqing just wanted to get things done quickly and didn't care about the verbal provocation. He continued, "That patient's physical condition was not suitable for the Bupleurum injection. But the reason the patient ended up in that state wasn't a problem with the drug. It was because you, the doctor, didn't prescribe the right medicine."
Chen Minghui sneered, "It's ridiculous. You, an uneducated quack, are discussing medical skills with me, a doctor with a doctorate. Don't you find it funny?"
He brought up academic qualifications again!
Ye Changqing gritted his teeth in anger. "This isn't about academic qualifications. It's about medication. Using the wrong medicine could ruin a family."
Chen Minghui said disdainfully, "Why not mention academic qualifications? I spent thirty years studying. That's my advantage. Let me tell you, even if you're right, even if your medical skills are better than mine, so what? Do you earn more than me? Are you as famous as me?"
Ye Changqing held back his anger. "I'll say it again. Your statement is false. The Bupleurum injection can't be used on patients with yang - deficiency and hyperthyroidism. You used the wrong medicine. Retract the false statement immediately!"
Chen Minghui held up his phone. "I just received a transfer of three hundred thousand yuan. This is the payment for the interview about the Bupleurum injection. This is what my fame and ability have earned me. Even if I'm wrong, even if I'm talking nonsense, with my doctorate title, readers will believe me! Aren't you great at medicine? You can go to the newspaper to refute me. Let's see if readers believe you or me!"
Ye Changqing clenched his fists in anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged. "You deserve a beating!"
Chen Minghui sneered, "Yes, I deserve a beating. I'm talking nonsense. Do you dare to touch me?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Changqing punched him directly in the mouth. "I'll teach you a lesson!"
Hiss -
Chen Minghui's lips were split by the punch, and he gasped in pain. He spat, and two teeth mixed with blood fell to the ground.
His expression immediately became ferocious, and he shouted with his mouth open, "You dare to hit me! You bastard, you dare to hit me. You're finished..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Changqing landed a dozen more punches, hitting Chen Minghui until his face was bruised and swollen, his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he kept begging for mercy.
"Stop! Please stop! I... I'm a doctor with a doctorate... I can't show my face... Stop... It hurts... It hurts so much... Please... I know I'm wrong! I'll retract the false statement immediately!"
Ye Changqing stopped. "Retract it in front of me!"
Liu Minghui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Seeing Ye Changqing staring at him with a fierce look, as if he was ready to hit him again at any moment, he took out his phone.
He first returned the three hundred thousand yuan. Then he dialed the phone and put it on speaker. "Hey, Brother Wei, I returned your three hundred thousand yuan. I want to retract my statement. Please don't publish it."
Ye Changqing stared coldly. After a moment of silence on the phone, a cold voice came through. "Dr. Chen, I've already submitted the manuscript. Whether you take the money or not, it can't be undone. I'm busy. I have to hang up."
Liu Minghui was stunned. He looked up at Ye Changqing.
Ye Changqing said angrily, "What are you looking at me for? Keep calling!"
Liu Minghui groaned and called back, but he had been blocked.
Ye Changqing's face turned livid. He reached out and grabbed a chair beside him.
Liu Minghui was terrified. Remembering that Ye Changqing had been to prison, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground. "Please, don't hit me. If you hit me again, you'll really kill me. I've tried my best. I returned the money and made the call. There's nothing I can do if they won't retract the manuscript."
At this time, there were footsteps at the door.
Several security guards rushed in.
The doctors who had been too afraid to come in earlier now entered, emboldened by the presence of the security guards.
Zhao Qiuyan and Liu Yuting also rushed in. They saw the security guards and sensed that something was wrong.
When they saw Liu Minghui's face, which was beaten to look like a pig's head, their expressions changed drastically.
Zhao Qiuyan's face turned ashen with anger. She had specifically told Ye Changqing not to intensify the conflict. She didn't expect Ye Changqing to beat Liu Minghui until he knelt on the ground. She scolded angrily, "Ye Changqing, you've gone too far!"
Liu Yuting's eyelids twitched wildly. She finally understood why Ye Changqing said he could solve the problem in one minute. It turned out he had planned to use violence before coming in.
She had even more disdain for Ye Changqing. He was reckless and unwise. Such a person wasn't fit to be a husband, not even a friend.
Ye Changqing pointed at Liu Minghui and explained, "It's not that I've gone too far. It's him who's gone too far."
Zhao Qiuyan was speechless. Liu Minghui was beaten until he knelt on the ground. How could he be the one at fault?
Liu Yuting gritted her teeth in anger. She had never seen such a shameless person. He had hit someone and didn't dare to take responsibility. She pulled Zhao Qiuyan's arm. "Let's go. He caused the trouble. Let him deal with the aftermath."
Zhao Qiuyan didn't move. "I'll help deal with this before leaving."
Liu Yuting snorted angrily. "Then you deal with it here. I'll wait outside."
Several security guards surrounded Ye Changqing. "You... you must stay. We're going to call the police. We'll let the police handle this!"
Chen Minghui felt like he wanted to die. The scene of him kneeling had been seen by all the doctors under him.
He wanted to stand up but felt weak.
It was only with the help of a security guard that he managed to stand. Surrounded by several security guards, he felt more confident. "Call the police! This is medical violence! He must be sent to prison!"
