Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1669: What's the Point?

Jiang Hui said, "Things aren't that simple. We have a small cafeteria in our hospital. Do you think we should manage it ourselves or contract it out?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Are you silly? We're already in the restaurant business. Why would we hand it over to someone else? Just let Zi Xuan know and have her arrange it."

Jiang Hui said, "You're right. Although the hospital doesn't make money, it would be good if the cafeteria could earn a bit."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The pricing in the cafeteria should be diverse so that no one can find fault with it."

Jiang Hui helplessly said, "I really don't know what you're up to."

After speaking, Jiang Hui walked out.

Ling Zhenfei knew that many people didn't understand, but he couldn't explain his intentions too clearly.

He Lingxiu was packing things with Qin Guan. The charity association had donated quite a lot, including a large amount of medicinal herbs, in addition to supplies.

However, the medicinal herbs hadn't arrived yet. They would take a few more days to reach.

Ling Zhenfei walked over to He Lingxiu and said, "Axiu, I might have to trouble you guys for the next few days. It's going to be quite tiring."

He Lingxiu replied, "This is my dream. In the face of dreams, nothing is tiring."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and looked over at Qin Guan, saying to He Lingxiu, "Please take care of Qin Guan during this period."

He Lingxiu said, "Qin Guan is very smart. I like him a lot."

Ling Zhenfei said to Qin Guan, "Qin Guan, when I'm not around, you need to listen to this sister. Do whatever she asks of you, and make sure to remember everything given to you, okay?"

Qin Guan nodded and said, "Got it. I will definitely learn well from Sister He."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, feeling very satisfied with Qin Guan.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Sister Jiang Hui will arrange a room for you here. If nothing else comes up, you can just stay at the hospital."

Qin Guan said, "Sister Jiang has already arranged it for me. The room is very big and comfortable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "In your spare time, aside from resting, read more books. There are many medical books in my office. Feel free to read them. Even if they're not necessarily useful, they can give you some understanding of medicine."

"Okay, Master."

Ling Zhenfei helped them organize for a while. After everything was arranged, he gathered everyone to have a meal together.

They chose a nearby restaurant, and coincidentally, it was the Green Apple Restaurant.

Ling Zhenfei was very familiar with this restaurant. Back when developing Xishan Manor, he personally negotiated with Green Apple Restaurant.

At that time, Ling Zhenfei even taught the chefs at Green Apple Restaurant a few simple dishes. He wondered how the restaurant was doing now.

As soon as he entered Green Apple Restaurant, Ling Zhenfei felt it was different from before, at least on a spiritual level.

First, the waiters were very enthusiastic, which is very important. The first thing guests see upon entering is the waiters.

If the waiters are cold, no matter who enters, they'll feel chilly and won't want to dine there.

Once inside, the place was very tidy, clearly designed with care. The murals on the walls were carefully chosen.

Ling Zhenfei felt very comfortable looking at it, and everyone found a private room to enter together.

They ordered a large table of dishes and began to eat.

The quality of the food was quite good, at least the taste was decent. Ling Zhenfei even ordered some vegetables from Xishan Manor.

The vegetables from Xishan Manor were very tasty and considered a specialty at Green Apple Restaurant.

Now Xishan Manor wasn't expanding its market anymore. Restaurants serving its vegetables were all predetermined.

Every year, Xishan Manor also conducted spot checks on these restaurants, and if they didn't meet standards, the contracts would be terminated.

This was really the first time that a vegetable supplier conducted spot checks on restaurants.

But there was no other way; Xishan Manor was just that tough because there were countless people waiting in line outside.

This is precisely why people online say that with Xishan Manor, choosing restaurants became much easier.

As long as it's a restaurant that serves Xishan Manor vegetables, there should be no problem.

At least with Xishan Manor checking, people could eat with peace of mind.

After three rounds of drinks, Ling Zhenfei said to everyone, "I'm really grateful. I know some people still don't understand why I want to run such a free hospital.

Many people are calling me a fool behind my back, saying I'm obviously just throwing my money away. You all will be the core staff of the Charity Hospital in the future, so I can talk to you about it."

Jiang Hui said, "Then you should properly explain to us. Tell us what you want to do, and don't tell me about grand principles, because that's not what business people do."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "You're right. All this talk about doing charity is certainly one of my goals, but since you don't want to hear about it, I won't mention it. Let's just talk about the business part."

Jiang Hui said, "Does this Charity Hospital even have the possibility of making a profit?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm exploring it, trying to figure out a way to provide a place where people who can't afford treatment can see a doctor."

He Lingxiu said, "But you know, treating and saving people obviously costs money, and those medicines are terribly expensive."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's why I'm thinking about how to get some funds from elsewhere. Now you see that there are more hospitals and charitable organizations donating to us.

There's also advertising revenue. I imagine our charity hospital walls won't lack advertisements in the future. Besides, there are donations, with a donation box outside the gate and a donation number, accepting any form of donation."

Jiang Hui said, "These revenues alone can't even balance the books."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's take it slow, and I'm sure we can succeed, even if it means losing a bit."

Those at the table were contemplative.

At this moment, someone said, "Actually, I really admire Mr. Ling. Mr. Ling is a great role model for us. I really like his ideas."

Everyone looked over at the person speaking, who was a doctor they recruited in advance, named Qian Wen.

Qian Wen was also a doctor at a large hospital. As soon as he saw Ling Zhenfei's job posting, he quit and came to Binyang to find Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui was a bit confused at the time, thinking this Qian Wen might be crazy, as he was doing well at a big hospital; why would he quit for a charity hospital?

Now that Qian Wen spoke up, everyone turned to him.

Qian Wen said, "As the saying goes, capable people do more work, and a capable person like Mr. Ling should do things that others can't. The reason I resigned and came here is I believe Mr. Ling can do it well."

Everyone looked at Qian Wen, and Jiang Hui whispered to Ling Zhenfei, "There goes another one of your blind admirers."

Ling Zhenfei didn't respond and instead asked Qian Wen directly, "Why do you believe in me so much?"
