Capítulo 20: 50 Million In Hand!
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chen Yi's expression was calm, and Mrs. Zhang immediately reacted. She carefully held the medicine in her hands and said, "Since Doctor Chen has already given us his instructions, we can rest assured."
With that, she hurriedly carried the medicine to Zhang Ni's room and prepared to feed it to her. Naturally, Zhang Shi and Chen Yi followed her.
Seeing so many silver needles had been pricked into Ni Ni's body, Zhang Shi couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his precious daughter.
"Don't touch the silver needles," Chen Yi instructed. Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that her movements slowed down a little as she gently sat by her daughter's bed.
Ni Ni lay quietly on the bed, not moving at all. Mrs. Zhang held the spoon as though treading on thin ice as she slowly poured the medicine into the little girl's mouth, afraid that it would spill out.
As Mrs. Zhang was afraid of touching the silver needles, her movements were extremely cautious. As such, after feeding her the medicine for nearly twenty minutes, Mrs. Zhang was drenched in sweat.
After feeding the medicine, the couple exhaled. Chen Yi walked to Ni Ni's side and checked her pulse once more.
He nodded slightly, retracted his hand, and said, "Not bad, it's better than I expected. Let's call it a day. She can't withstand too much intense treatment, and I'm also a little tired."
He wasn't just a little tired, but completely exhausted. He hadn't slept for almost a day and a night!
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Doctor Chen," Zhang Shi said, "Is there anything that we need to pay attention to?"
Chen Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "Indeed there is. Firstly, as I said earlier, you are not allowed to feed her food or water. Secondly, during this period, you are not allowed to touch the silver needles that I have put. These needles are all placed in precise positions, so it won't do for her to have one more or one less!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the needle on Ni Ni's forehead and said, "Take this needle for example. If she has one less needle, it won't have any effect at all. My set of needles will be wasted. One extra needle... will cause her meridians to go haywire, and she will die on the spot!"
His words weren't meant to scare the couple, but their bodies trembled in fear.
"So, besides me, no one else should touch the needles," Chen Yi was satisfied with both of their expressions, and only then did he calm down, "Do the two of you have any other questions?"
Zhang Shi was so frightened that he was about to lose his courage. Naturally, he wouldn't move them. He and Mrs. Zhang nodded, "We will definitely not move the needles. We won't move them even if we're beaten to death!"
"Okay, the medicine I fed her has already ensured that her basic vitals activities would be fine. Remember the first warning I gave you. Don't lose your sense of propriety just because you are concerned," after Chen Yi said those words, the couple nodded profusely.
"Doctor Chen, is there anything else we need to take note of?"
"There's nothing else. Just remember these two points. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to Blue Ocean Hotel first. I'll start the acupuncture tomorrow."
After saying those words, Chen Yi was about to leave. He was truly exhausted...
Seeing that he was about to leave, Mrs. Zhang urged him to stay again, "Doctor Chen, it's already past four. Why don't you stay here and rest?"
"That's right, why don't you stay here. You're tired as well," Zhang Shi agreed.
Chen Yi shook his head, "There's no need for that. I'll head back to the hotel to sleep. Furthermore, we're not far from each other, so let's just leave it at that. The two of you should sleep early as well."
Zhang Shi wanted to continue persuading him, but Chen Yi didn't have the time to accompany him here. Thus, he rejected the offer and went back to sleep...
Just like that, he decocted medicine and gave acupuncture for two days. A total of four times, Chen Yi was so busy that he felt dizzy. His hand speed didn't change, but his mental state wasn't too good, and he didn't get enough sleep.
Even though he was dog-tired, Ni Ni's condition had improved significantly!
Her face had some color, and her small face had also started to become round.
When Zhang Shi saw that his daughter had woken up, he was so excited that he nearly knelt.
Zhang Ni was sitting beside the bed with Mrs. Zhang, each eating a mouthful of porridge. There were other things placed beside them, such as fried eggs, snacks, fruits, and so on.
After Ni Ni recovered, she even became energetic, giggling at her father. Compared to the little girl who was lying motionless on the bed previously, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Zhang Shi happily wiped his snot. Ni Ni narrowed her eyes and gave her father some tissue paper. Her hands were soft and not as cold as before.
"Ni Ni, don't run around. Remember to wear your shoes!" Seeing that Chen Yi had arrived, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Shi hurriedly went over to welcome him.
"Alright..." Ni Ni replied in a childish voice. She went and played a game with her nanny.
Zhang Shi nearly knelt. Fortunately, Chen Yi quickly held him up and asked, "What's wrong? Are your legs weak, Mr. Zhang?" He teased.
The couple's eyes were red. Zhang Shi excitedly grabbed Chen Yi's hand and asked, "Doctor Chen... has my daughter recovered?"
Chen Yi nodded. "Yes, she's almost recovered. However, compared to children of the same age, her body is still very weak. I've written down a medicinal cuisine recipe for you. Let her eat this in the morning. The recipe is very simple, it's similar to cooking porridge. You need to pay attention to the duration."
As he spoke, Chen Yi passed a piece of paper over, "She was severely ill and needs to be taken good care of. Don't let her eat anything too stimulating or greasy for the next two months. Feed her the medicinal cuisine for a month. After a month, you may feed her the medicinal cuisine once every three days."
Zhang Shi nodded, and Mrs. Zhang silently wiped her tears, "You are our savior! Doctor Chen, thank you! I really... don't know what to say! If you need anything in the future, give me a call. I, Zhang Shi, will do my best to help you!"
"Okay," Chen Yi was amused, "That's enough, you're exaggerating too much. Isn't that the reason why you give me money to treat her illness? Just give me 50 million dollars. And it's about time for me to head home soon. Mr. Zhang, I'll be fine with your word of thanks."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Shi stopped him, "Why are you in such a hurry, Doctor Chen? You've worked hard recently, and we haven't treated you properly yet!"
"That's right. Let Old Zhang bring you around to have some fun, Doctor Chen. He knows a lot of people, so it's a good opportunity for him to introduce you to many people, and everyone can have some fun together," Mrs. Zhang was polite as well.
'That's enough', Chen Yi felt a headache coming on at the thought of having to meet so many people, "There's no need for that. I've received the remuneration, so I won't bother you anymore. If there's anything, feel free to contact me."
After which, he pointed to his phone and left Zhang Shi's villa.
The instant he left, he received a text message.
"[ XX Bank ] Dear Mr. Chen Yi, you have a transfer of 50,000,000.00 from... please click for more details..."
After receiving the 50 million dollars, Chen Yi curled his lips into a smile, "I'm rich!"
..
It was almost noon when he returned to his rented room. Chen Yi casually bought a few things and looked at his little doghouse. He could not help but sigh, "What the old ancestor said is true. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality! Why do I find this place more and more unpleasing to the eye?" He was really not used to it and felt awkward!
After staying in a hotel for a few days and nights for twenty thousand dollars a night, Chen Yi still felt uncomfortable when he suddenly ended his luxurious life.
He tossed and turned on the bed and began to dislike it. Why was the lighting in this place so poor? The soundproofing was not good either. This bed was so hard...
'Am I living in a garbage heap?'
But before all of these things happened, Chen Yi was still very satisfied with his living environment. He even thought that a gold and silver nest could not compare to his own doghouse!
"Have I become picky after staying there?" Chen Yi muttered to himself.
