131: Chapter 129: Truly Can’t Afford to Compensate
Qin Hao’s words hung in the air for a long ti, leaving the room in complete silence, as if ti itself had co to a standstill, with only the figure of over 8.5 million RMB echoing in their ears.
“Is this a psychiatric ward?”
After a while, Li Yi’s face darkened, and he sneered disdainfully, “What kind of crap is this?
Worthless, yet you dare to quote such a sky-high price?
Even in a scam, you’re too harsh.
Do you think I’m an idiot?”
The people outside the room shared the sa thought as Li Yi, wondering if Qin Hao had gone mad.
Over 8 million for an ointnt?
They felt their imagination was limited by poverty!
But Qin Hao just quietly watched Li Yi, not getting angry, as he would never argue with an idiot, for fear of having his intelligence dragged down to their level by their abundant experience.
At this mont, Li Yi stomped on the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt, twisting his ankle as he said, “I’d feel dirty using this to wipe my shoes, you know?
This is trash!”
After speaking, Li Yi let out a cold snort, turned disdainfully, and headed towards the door without giving the matter another thought.
“What’s going on?
What’s happening here?”
Just then, a voice full of displeasure ca from outside the door, causing everyone to make way.
An energetic old man passed by and saw the crowd gathered at the ward door, as if sothing had happened, so he entered, glanced around, and said, “Oh, Li Yi, what’s going on here?”
Li Yi took one look at the old man and imdiately greeted respectfully, “Vice Director Zhang.”
This old man was the hospital’s esteed Vice Director, known by many around, and they all gave him respectful looks.
“Hmm.”
Vice Director Zhang adopted a friendly attitude towards Li Yi, who was a promising doctor in the hospital with great potential for the future.
“What happened here?” Vice Director Zhang asked calmly.
“This doctor threw away my ointnt, and I’m asking for compensation,” Qin Hao said, pointing to the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt on the floor.
“You’re extorting!
This trash isn’t worth a penny, and you dare to demand 8 million?
You’re going too far?” Li Yi said in annoyance.
“What?
An 8 million ointnt?
That’s really sothing.” Vice Director Zhang laughed mockingly, seemingly also taking Qin Hao as a fraud, then casually glanced at the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt on the floor.
With just one look, Vice Director Zhang exclaid in shock, quickly walked over, squatted beside the ointnt, examining it intently before furrowing his brow tightly.
After a while, Vice Director Zhang looked at Qin Hao and cautiously asked, “Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt?”
Qin Hao nodded slightly, oh, soone recognized it.
Straight away, Vice Director Zhang’s expression changed drastically.
He quickly raised his hand, touched a bit of the ointnt, and put it in his mouth.
This ointnt wasn’t for consumption, but so ointnts could be distinguished by their taste for their quality.
After sampling it, Vice Director Zhang was even more astonished and murmured, “The color is novel, possessing seven hues like a rainbow, with a hidden glow, and it tastes sweet and soothing — this truly is the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt!
But, why does it taste a bit like mud?”
“Because he just stepped on it and called it trash,” Qin Hao said indifferently, pointing at Li Yi.
Puh!
Vice Director Zhang nearly spat out blood, imdiately filled with rage, stood up, and angrily took a few steps toward Li Yi.
“Vice Director?”
Li Yi had a bad feeling.
Imdiately, a loud slap rang out!
Vice Director Zhang, furious, directly slapped Li Yi while shouting, “Li Yi, oh Li Yi, you blind oaf, you dared to step on such a treasure as the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt?
And even dared to call it trash?
Who gave you the courage!!”
Li Yi was dumbfounded by the slap, suddenly a thought struck him — was it possible this patient wasn’t insane?
That what he said was true?
At that thought, Li Yi’s face turned unpleasant, feeling a chill all over.
“The Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt, I’ve only ever seen it in ancient texts, never expected in my lifeti to see it in person, it’s worth it, worth it!” Vice Director Zhang exclaid emotionally.
“Vice Director, how much is this thing worth?” Li Yi asked nervously.
“Last year at an auction in North Arica, a Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt appeared.
Check it online yourself, there’s news about it.” Vice Director Zhang said with a cold smile, giving Li Yi a pitying glance.
Very soon, the observers at the door, eager for gossip, took out their phones.
With group effort, it didn’t take long to find last year’s auction news.
“Sold for 1.34 million US Dollars!”
Soon, an exclamation arose from outside the door.
These words were like swords piercing Li Yi’s heart.
Qin Hao—wasn’t making it up after all!
Eyes full of shock and disbelief turned to Qin Hao.
What they thought was a madman now seed they were the blind ones!
Many who had previously disregarded the ointnt, laughing at Qin Hao, now stared at the trodden Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt on the floor with burning eyes, as if desperate to snatch it.
This wasn’t trash; this was a treasure!
“Sir, on behalf of our hospital’s doctor for offending you, I sincerely apologize.” Suddenly, Vice Director Zhang bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Qin Hao.
Everyone was astounded!
Never before had they seen Vice Director Zhang being so respectful!
Qin Hao nodded slightly, then pointed to the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt on the floor, asking Li Yi, “Can we now discuss the issue of compensation?”
Li Yi was completely stupefied, as if he had rear-ended a Rolls Royce entirely at fault, the fear and anxiety filling his mind.
Over 8 million!
It would take him seventy years with his current salary without eating or drinking!
Li Yi now wanted to wail and cry; he was filled with regret!
“I was wrong, I know I was wrong, sir, it was entirely my fault!”
Li Yi lowered his head, trembling as he spoke.
“You think an apology is enough?”
Qin Hao snorted coldly, “First, kneel down and talk to .”
Li Yi’s face changed, then he gritted his teeth and fell to his knees before Qin Hao with a thud!
Humiliated, he had no face, but he had no choice, it was his arrogance earlier that now required consequences!
“Can you afford to compensate for this ‘trash’?” Qin Hao asked, nodding toward the Six-leaf Flying Grass Ointnt.
“I can’t afford it…
I truly can’t afford it.” Li Yi was almost in tears, realizing he couldn’t even afford it if he sold himself!
Thinking he had dared to stomp it earlier, he now had a death wish.
“Sir, I have a presumptuous request…”
At this mont, Vice Director Zhang chuckled awkwardly.
