Hospital.
It had been four hours since the surgery and XenaXu hadn't come out yet.
Chloe had leaned to the side and fell asleep.
FyrenZhang was answering the phone on one side when suddenly, a long sword was resting on his neck.
"FyrenZhang!"Sherry's voice was trembling.
FyrenZhang raised his hands, slowly turned around, locked eyes with her, and suddenly smiled, "Sherry, you've gotten prettier."
"Stop calling me names!" Sherry glared, her sword blade pressing against FyrenZhang's neck.
FyrenZhang took a deep breath, "Are you going to kill me?"
"Or else?"
"Why?"
Sherry felt that FyrenZhang's brain was sick, it was this time of the day and he was asking why?
"You screwed over my young master, causing him to be beaten to a full body powder fracture twice in two days, if I don't kill you who will I kill?"
FyrenZhang looked at her, "You know what your family's Young Lord came to Snow City to do, right?"
"Bullshit."
"Good. He wants to unify the four great families and eat them. After uniting Snow City, he will also unify the Northern Kingdom and become the richest one in all of the Northern Kingdom. Is that right?"
"So what?"
"As the head of the Four Great Families of Snow City, do I have to give him all of it when he says he wants it? You're a jianghu man, I want your head, will you obediently give it to me?"
"Nonsense, of course you won't!"
"Not only won't you, you'll fight me to the death. At this time, it's a war between you and me, right?"
"That's right!"
"Good, then since it's a war, is it that if I attack you, you have to be allowed to return the favor? Or rather, if I attack you, you are bound to return fire, whether I allow it or not?"
"Yes, of course."
"And then the result of victory or defeat is to see who has better kung fu, who has higher kung fu, faster speed, more power, and better clinical skill, right?"
"That's right."
"Then why are you trying to kill me?"
Sherry didn't even understand what it meant: "What are you babbling about? Because you've harmed my young master!"
FyrenZhang said, "It's a war between me and him! It's a business war, if I don't harm him he's going to swallow us! Swallow the Leng family, Zhang family, Xu family and Chen family! He came to clean us up, aren't we allowed to fight back?"
"This ..."
"So it's a fair fight between us, he can get you beautiful women to help him out, and every now and then there's some Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron Big Four to help him out. What about me? What do I have? I've got nothing but money! Is that fair?"
"I'm sorry, that's because you're not capable! If you're not capable, don't blame others, you deserve to be cleaned up!"
"Well said!" FyrenZhang snapped his hands, "He has everything he wants, while I have nothing! About a month ago, I was a senior lickspittle, ElizaLeng annoyed me, XenaXu hated me, CoraChen hated me ... No one in the whole world was on my side except my mom and dad, and Zaring, and EasonChen."
"But this more than a month down, OttoLong in my hands did not take a little advantage, know why?"
"Why?"
FyrenZhang pointed to his temple, "Because I'm smart! Your Major wants to backstab me, so of course I have to fight back. He's stupid in his own brain, so why should I be blamed? It's like two people dueling, the one with the higher martial arts skill was defeated by the one with the lower martial arts skill, and more than once, and this still has to aggressively seek out the one with the lower martial arts skill to settle the score, is this reasonable?"
Sherry froze.
The logic made her brain a little dizzy.
FyrenZhang smiled faintly, "If he is capable, maybe our four great families will soon be flattened and taken away by him, and he himself said that he would let me live on the streets and be reduced to a beggar. Let me ask you, if he wins and I really become a beggar, who will stand up for me? You? Will you take your sword and go to your family's young master, scolding him for not being a thing and causing my family to fall into ruin?"
"You ... this ... although said very reasonable, but ..."
"But what ah? He wants to harm me, harm can not still blame me?"
"But, but ..."
"Don't but! You should go back and ask your family's young master if he has a brain problem, persuade him, tell him that FyrenZhang's brain is better than his more than three hundred rounds, and that there is no possibility for him to win in Snow City. If it is smart enough, change the place and start again, which is still better."
"But ... why ... does it seem like you're making sense ..."
"Of course I have a point! Short has to admit it, take a beating and stand firm, that's how the rules of business struggle work. He lost to me, is his own skills are not good. He contacted this and that behind his back, controlling this and manipulating that, what did I say? Did I say that you're not allowed to do this, and that you can only do it head-on and in the open?"
"Indeed not."
"Right? So you shouldn't ..."
"I shouldn't have snapped at you, you're not at all to blame for this."
"Your young master is ..."
"He's to blame, and he did it to himself."
"So you should ..."
"I should go back and tell him that you're smart and he's no match for you."
FyrenZhang clapped his hands, "Put the sword away, let people see into what?"
Sherry felt that this ... seemed to be wrong somewhere, but couldn t tell where.
She came with a strong anger, and now she is a little friend, do you have a lot of question marks!
The budding look is still thinking about the underlying logic here.
FyrenZhang directly embraced her, "Nu, as long as your family's major wants to eat us, we have to resist until he doesn't want to eat us anymore, and we don't have any grudges with him, so isn't it just that he's going to go his way and we're going to go ours?"
"And ah! If he ends up eating all four of our families, then that means he's capable, and we'll just have to obediently concede at that time, right? So, the final result will either be that he succeeds in unifying Snow City, or he gives up on unifying Snow City. It's all business here, there are no grudges."
"Even if it's a duel between two people, they still have to sign a life and death contract, no regrets in life and death right?"
Sherry nodded, "I see."
She turned around and faced FyrenZhang squarely, clasping her fists and arching her hands, "I was rude just now, please bear with me.Although Sherry is not good in the head, she still knows about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, so please punish me! I have no complaints!"
FyrenZhang hurriedly held her hand, "I forbid you to say that, who can't make a mistake?"
Sherry suddenly felt like her hand was electrocuted and hurriedly drew it back.
Suddenly looking at FyrenZhang had a special feeling.
When she thought of the many things that had happened between herself and him, she was so shy that her heart was pounding.
"I ... am going back, I ... still have to go and take care of the young lord, I ... am leaving... ..."
FyrenZhang didn't let out a breath until he saw it turn the corner in front of him, leaning against the wall with weak legs.
"Damn, luckily it's Sherry with a bad brain, this would fuck me up if Sabrina came. Nope, gotta get Iron King and his brother to protect me."
...
Wee hours of the morning.
The door to the operating room finally opens and XenaXu wearily walks out.
Chloe immediately went over, "Xena, how is my mom?"
XenaXu took off her mask and smiled tiredly, "The surgery was successful, she's fine, rest and recuperate for a while and then she can be discharged."
Chloe bursts into tears and throws her arms around XenaXu, "Xena! Thank you! Thank you so much! Woohoo ..."
"There." XenaXu patted her back, "It's all right, why are you still crying, wait a little while, the nurse will treat the wound and you can meet up."
FyrenZhang walked over and saw that XenaXu's face looked bad.
Nearly ten hours of major surgery, it was too hard for a girl like her.
"Thank you."
XenaXu gave him a look, "It's a deal between me and you, no need to say thank you."
FyrenZhang knew she was still gambling and smiled, "You're exhausted, take a rest."
"Follow me."
XenaXu went back to her office and threw her surgical jacket, mask, and gloves into the trash before going to take a shower.
When she came out, wrapped in her bathrobe, she walked over to FyrenZhang and sat on the couch in front of her.
"My feet hurt, rub them for me."
FyrenZhang frowned slightly, but started rubbing her feet anyway.
FyrenZhang pushed a little harder and XenaXu hissed and started to huff.
FyrenZhang was shocked, "Does it hurt that much?"
"I've been standing for almost ten hours, don't you think?"
FyrenZhang felt a little guilty and began to massage her carefully, carefully.
"Hard work."
"Doctor."
FyrenZhang was touched inwardly.
[Other rich second-generation wouldn't have suffered this kind of crime, only XenaXu. When others were still competing for clothes and shoes, she followed her mentor to participate in surgeries all day long, and was said to have fainted once from exhaustion.]
[Her weak body has exploded with superb endurance and strength because of her patients.]
[Be nice to her from now on.]
The corners of XenaXu's mouth involuntarily rose when she heard FyrenZhang's heartfelt words.
"Do you sometimes think I'm quite cold-blooded?"
FyrenZhang shook her head, "What I said was mindless gaslighting, and I regret it."
"Really?"
FyrenZhang sighed, "It's like cars, there must be household brands that are affordable to the common people, and there will be luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz BMW Ferrari, and even sports cars that are purely for the sake of fooling around. We can't morally kidnap and have everyone who builds Ferraris build three wheels, can we?"
XenaXu nodded, "One person's power is limited, and a XenaXu, even if he grows eight hands, is limited in the number of people he can save in this life. So ..."
"So you have to pick up only high-end customers, positioning accurate, specializing in picking those in order to save the life of the guys who are not poorly healed. For one thing, you can create your own personal brand, and for another, you can make a lot of money. And I know that a portion of your Houde Group's profits are invested in public welfare and healthcare, medicine, education ... and so on."
XenaXu said, "You know us Houde very well!"
XenaXu sighed, "To save more people, we have to keep the Houde brand intact.Houde Group's main business is high-end private hospitals that charge exorbitant fees, so it can be said that it specializes in serving the rich. However, we have been sharing our medical achievements with ordinary affordable hospitals, teaching medical experience, training medical talents instead, and providing some cutting-edge medical equipment. To save more patients, we can't rely on me alone to be hot-headed, we rely on the system, good operations, a steady stream of financial resources, and a solid and reliable brand effect."
"Houde must make money, and the more money we make, the more we can do for society and for the sick. So, I specialize in treating the rich, and the money I make then goes to support more doctors, nurses, specialists and researchers to save more people."
FyrenZhang said, "But you're also too dark, as far as I know, the few medicines you've developed actually have the exact same ingredients and processes, and with a different packaging, the ones sold to the common people are cheap, and the ones sold to the rich are ridiculously expensive."
"Hahaha!" XenaXu laughed uncontrollably, "Rich people are all willing to spend money, they spend some money to buy peace of mind, they can't trust the cheap medicine. The people's medicine, naturally, as cheap as possible."
"You are not as cheap as you can." FyrenZhang said, "You're using my money to sell out, you think I don't know?"
XenaXu blushed and giggled, "You know all that?"
"But well!" FyrenZhang rubbed XenaXu's calves, "The money you make us in the high-end field is enough to subsidize the low-end products, so in order to stabilize you, I won't poke holes in it since it's making money anyway."
XenaXu looked at FyrenZhang, "Fyren, you're actually a good person, always have been, why did you pretend you were a profit-oriented bad person before?"
FyrenZhang laughed bitterly.
[What kind of good guy am I?
"More comfortable?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt as much."
"Let me take you home, it's late and you're tired."
XenaXu looked at FyrenZhang, "I had a fight with my family, you know that."
FyrenZhang looks at XenaXu: "That means ..."
"You still have your arms around me tonight, okay?"
XenaXu blushed, suddenly too shy to do so, and looked timidly at FyrenZhang.
FyrenZhang's heart fluttered:
[Big sister, I'm afraid I can't hold it!
