Afternoon.
Beijing.
301 Hospital's courtyard. Although it is the weekend, and most of the departments in the hospital do not have outpatient clinics, there are still many people.
Huo Yibang hung up the call with Dong Xuebing. He had called Dong Xuebing to inform him of his arrival was because of his respect for Dong Xuebing. Even though Dong Xuebing had told him about his arrival, he still felt the need to inform him. Also, Huo Yibang was shocked by the hospital. He looked at the huge signboard and was in awe of the hospital. Although he knew this is the best hospital in Beijing, he was still in awe of this place.
Huo Yibang's wife was listening by the side. "Is the call over?"
Huo Yibang nodded. "Yes, and Secretary Dong asked me to call that number again. He said there are no problems, and someone will make arrangements for us."
Huo Yibang's wife is worried. "Secretary Dong is so important?"
Huo Yibang is also not sure. "Secretary Dong had said there should be no problems."
"But this is the People's Liberation Army General Hospital." His wife looked at the sign again. "A classmate of mine came to Beijing for treatment last time. Not to mention 301 Hospital, he couldn't even get a consultation from a Class Three Grade A hospital. He wanted to stay in the hospital, but he couldn't. The hospital said there were no more rooms available, and he had to make an appointment a few months in advance. Even then, he might not be able to get an appointment."
Huo Yibang sighed. "All Beijing hospitals are like this."
"Dad, Mum … I feel terrible." The child's face is pale.
"Alright … alright … don't be afraid. I will call him now." Huo Yibang did not waste any more time with his wife and quickly find the number given to him by Party Secretary Dong. He gritted his teeth and called.
Beep … beep … beep …
After a long time, the call got through.
It is a woman's voice. "Hello, who is this?"
Huo Yibang heard from Dong Xuebing that the other party was a Major General, and his attitude was very respectful. "Director Liu, nice to meet you. I am Dong Xuebing's Secretary Dong asked me to come over. I want to bring my child to see a doctor, but I can't find the cause. That's why Secretary Dong asked me to look for you."
Liu Xuemei paused for a second. "Xuebing asked you to look for me?"
"Yes." Huo Yibang replied. "Secretary Dong gave me your number."
Liu Xuemei nodded. "I see. Where are you?"
Huo Yibang replied. "It's in the hospital. It's at the ground floor of 301 Hospital. We don't know which door to enter."
Liu Xuemei said. "You all can wait downstairs, and I will get someone to fetch you all. I had just finished a surgery and need to wait for a while. After I finish my work, I will visit my son personally. Since Xuebing had asked you all to come here, you all don't need to worry about anything else. I will arrange everything for you all. You all don't need to book a hotel. If you all need to be hospitalized, just ask one of your family members to accompany you. Our hospital has a cooperative hotel, and you all can stay there."
Huo Yibang quickly thanked him.
About two minutes later, someone came down to pick them up.
When they went upstairs, they didn't even need to register or pay. The medical staff directly took their child to do a series of examinations.
Huo Yibang blinked and said, "Nurse, we will pay for the tests and scans …"
The nurse whispered to him, "You don't have to pay." Since Dean Liu had instructed his friend to come to see the doctor, they naturally had to give the green light. Even if they had to pay in the end, it was mostly just a gesture.
In the end, Liu Xuemei came personally.
The tests, checkups, and admission to the hospital were settled quickly. Huo Yibang and his wife didn't even need to do anything, and the hospital had already arranged a single room for them. After the medical staff left, Huo Yibang and his wife looked at each other. They finally knew how influential Dong Xuebing was in the hospital. Dong Xuebing's treatment could no longer be described with the word "respect." Dong Xuebing did not even inform them beforehand. He only gave Huo Yibang a call, and Huo Yibang made the arrangements. Huo Yibang and Huo Yibang knew what this meant.
… …
Northern Shaanxi.
Provincial City.
Omega Retail Store.
Dong Xuebing did not care about Huo Yibang's request. Liu Xuemei is close to the Xie Family and is considered one of the Xie Family's supporters. If Dong Xuebing can't even help with this, he might as well find a wall and kill himself.
Huh?
This watch is not bad.
Dong Xuebing turned to the staff. "Can I have a look at this watch?"
The staff hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. From the previous phone call, they could already feel that this young man might not be as … unsophisticated as he looked.
Dong Xuebing points to the counter.
The staff took out a watch. "This is our best-selling mechanical female watch. It's 100,800 RMB and is waterproof up to 150 meters. The core is also …" The staff introduced the watch.
This was a silver stainless steel watch, which was considered very thick among women's watches. The price was right, and the style was also very in line with Fang Wenping's style, which was more capable and business-like. Also, it was a lot more expensive than her Cartier watch. Well, not bad.
This is how Dong Xuebing buys things. As long as it looks good, it's fine. Anyway, he does not lack money. So, he said. "Help me adjust the chain. Just adjust it according to my wrist size. I will give it to someone." His wrist is about the same size as Fang Wenping's wrist.
The staff was stunned. "Then I will get the invoice?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes." Then, he thought of something. He rolled up his sleeves, took off his watch, and put it on the display stand. "By the way, my watch is a little dirty. Although it's not your brand, can you help me clean it?"
The staff replied. "Huh? Ok."
Omega's watches will be cleaned for free, but other brands will not do the same. But this kind of place is more flexible. Since Dong Xuebing had bought the watch, he can just clean it. But when the female staff took over Dong Xuebing's watch and looked at it, she was stunned. She is a watch seller and knows if it's real or fake.
Patek Philippe?
The real thing???
A watch worth a few million?
The female staff almost fainted!
The female saleswoman and the other customers in the shop also saw it, and they look at Dong Xuebing in a different light!
Who is this person?
His clothes are all dirty, and he looks like a laborer. How can he buy a watch worth more than 100,000 RMB? He is wearing a watch worth a few million?
The few customers who were mocking Dong Xuebing earlier were shocked. This is beyond their understanding. Damn! Don't judge a book by its cover?
But you really can't judge a book by its cover!
The few customers are still in disbelief as they stare at Dong Xuebing. Even if they recognize it is a Patek Philippe, they do not know if it's real or fake. Even Patek Philippe, the world's number one watch, costs a few hundred or a few thousand. It's not very expensive.
Dong Xuebing went over to swipe his credit card. He did not even blink.
After Dong Xuebing signed, the staff quickly helped him adjust the strap of his watch. The other customers also believe Dong Xuebing is a rich man.
But this is not the end. After Dong Xuebing adjusted the strap of his watch, he saw a pocket watch on the counter. This pocket watch is the only one with the same design, but it looks nice. The pocket watch is an old model, but it is a classic Omega pocket watch. Dong Xuebing had been wearing a watch and had never played with a pocket watch. Dong Xuebing likes this watch the moment he saw it and decided to keep it for himself. Although he already has a watch, watches are not very useful in this society. Everyone has a mobile phone, and they can check the time everywhere. Wearing a watch now is a sign of one's attitude and temperament. To put it bluntly, Dong Xuebing is flaunting his wealth. Since Dong Xuebing is wearing a watch, it's fine to buy a pocket watch. At most, he can give it to someone else if he does not like it in the future. Dong Xuebing had given away all his belongings, and he still needs to prepare a few items. If not, he will not be able to handle any emergencies.
Dong Xuebing points to the counter. "Give me this pocket watch too."
The staff paused for a second. "Ok. Sure. This watch is worth 660,000 RMB."
This is the most expensive watch in the display case, and the staff reminded Dong Xuebing about it.
But Dong Xuebing did not react. He blinked and said. "Give me one?"
The female staff knew Dong Xuebing is serious and did not even blink for 660,000 RMB. She took a deep breath in her heart.
Check.
Pay.
Pack.
Dong Xuebing kept Fang Wenping's watch, but he did not care about his pocket watch. He stuffed the box into a shopping bag and played with it for a while before keeping it in his pocket. After cleaning his Patek Philippe watch, Dong Xuebing put on his watch and thanked the two female staff politely before leaving the store with the shopping bag.
He left behind a group of stunned customers.
Even the two saleswomen couldn't react in time.
It's not that they are overreacting, but Dong Xuebing's clothes are too … country bumpkin. He looks like he had rolled in the mud before, and he came to Omega to buy two watches worth 700,000 to 800,000 RMB. They can't accept this.
Who is this person?!
Even if he is rich, he should not spend so much money.
He should at least wash his clothes and change before going shopping!
But Dong Xuebing had no other choice. Fang Wenping was rushing him, and he did not see anyone selling his clothes.
