Chapter 1663 1663: Paying Back the Money

Zhou Xia said, "What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Is there a way I don't have to repay this money?"

Zhou Xia laughed after hearing this, "What are you thinking? The government lent so much money to the Xianrenzui Distillery because they want it to survive."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm sorry, Xianrenzui can't make it through, but my takeover can give Xianrenzui a new life."

Zhou Xia said, "But you still have to repay the money. Our friendship is our personal matter, but the money must be repaid."

Ling Zhenfei felt somewhat helpless, originally thinking that Zhou Xia might cut him some slack because of their friendship.

Zhou Xia was quite firm, but that's just how she is, and Ling Zhenfei couldn't do much about it.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, I will repay the money. I just hope you can give me some extra time. We want to pay in installments."

Zhou Xia said, "Isn't the Xi Shan Group wealthy? Why would this small amount matter?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You can't put it that way. Some money should be spent, and some should be spread out over time. There's logic to this."

Zhou Xia said, "Fine, I don't want to argue over this. The money must be repaid, but I can extend the time."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "That's enough for me to hear."

They both looked at people walking outside the window, who had come to visit after seeing the news online.

Some were fans of Ling Zhenfei or He Lingxiu, coming from nearby in hopes of a chance encounter.

Zhou Xia said, "If anyone else said they were going to establish a free hospital, I wouldn't believe it. But when you said it, I believed right away. I think only you could achieve this."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Sister Xia, you have too much faith in me. How do you know I can do this?"

Zhou Xia said, "That's just what I think in my heart. As for why, I don't know."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then let's pray together, pray that I can keep running this free hospital."

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang. He glanced at the number, knowing many people would be calling today.

After answering this call, his phone kept ringing with calls from people related to him, some calling to congratulate, others to show their support.

Many people supported Ling Zhenfei's free hospital, but since it was over the phone, it was hard to tell if they were sincere.

After dealing with each call, Ling Zhenfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In society, one has to deal with many things. Despite the annoyance of social obligations, they cannot be ignored.

By noon, it was time for lunch. Ling Zhenfei invited Zhou Xia and others for a meal. Zhou Xia didn't eat, as her status naturally didn't allow her to join.

So, Ling Zhenfei had a meal with Chen Dafu and others.

During the meal, he expressed his gratitude for their help. With the support of these two charities, at least he felt somewhat at ease.

After sending everyone off in the afternoon, Ling Zhenfei returned to his hospital. There weren't many people there, and it hadn't officially opened, so it appeared quite deserted.

Ling Zhenfei, along with He Lingxiu, Jiang Hui, and Qin Guan, was there, plus some new recruits Jiang Hui had hired in the past few days, making up the entire team.

Jiang Hui said, "This is all of us for today, but doctors and nurses will be recruited gradually. I have over two hundred applications on my phone that we need to review one by one."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's start with some preparations. This place is almost ready; we just need to see what else might be missing."

Jiang Hui said, "There are too many positions needed for the office, inpatient department, and more. Let's tire ourselves out a bit by dividing up the areas. Tomorrow, Binyang Hospital will send rotating nurses to assist us."

Once everything was arranged, everyone went their separate ways to act.

Ling Zhenfei went to see his office, the one next door being He Lingxiu's office.

The office was very spacious, with a large desk, comfortable chairs, and a wide bookshelf filled with medical books.

The layout was basically the same as in Ling Zhenfei's room. Behind them was a large glass window offering a view of the lush little park behind the hospital.

When feeling down, looking at greenery can really lift your spirits.

He Lingxiu was touching the desk in disbelief.

"What are you thinking?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

He Lingxiu didn't expect Ling Zhenfei to appear, so she was shocked and quickly said, "Brother Afei, it's nothing, just feels like a dream."

Ling Zhenfei patted the desk and said, "It's not a dream. This is your office. See if anything is missing and tell Qin Guan to get it for you."

He Lingxiu quickly waved her hands, "No, no, it's already great. I'm very satisfied. Although, this place is nice, it doesn't feel like a place for treating patients."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "This is an office, not a clinic. Treating patients doesn't happen here. This is just a place for you to work and rest."

He Lingxiu was even more surprised, "I have a place to work and rest?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, don't worry if you're not used to it now. You'll get used to it over time."

He Lingxiu said, "Brother Afei, this place is nice, but providing free medical care means we're just losing money, isn't it?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Doctors have the heart of a parent. Healing and saving lives shouldn't always be about money. Some things in this world aren't measured by money."

He Lingxiu said, "But the money spent was earned through your hard work!"

Ling Zhenfei said, "What hard-earned money? I feel like it's a gift from Heaven. You don't need to worry about it. Your salary and everything else won't be lacking."

He Lingxiu said, "No, Brother Afei, if you're treating people for free, how can I accept money?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I can afford to lose money every day because I have other income sources, but you're different. You have a family. Don't follow my example, just be yourself."

He Lingxiu nodded, somewhat understanding and somewhat not. Just then, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang. He glanced at the number.

Initially thinking it was another congratulatory call, he looked at the number and realized it was from Xu Yuyu.

Surprised, Ling Zhenfei quickly answered the call.

He then heard Xu Yuyu's voice on the other end.

"Hello, Dr. Ling?"

Hearing Xu Yuyu's unusually serious tone, Ling Zhenfei knew there must be others around her, making it inconvenient for her to speak freely.

"Hello, Miss Xu." It was the first time the two spoke in such a manner, making it a bit amusing.

Xu Yuyu said, "Mr. Ling, my child has been born, it's a boy."
