Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 706

In an instant, the entrance of the small shop was once again surrounded by a crowd of people.

The peasant woman, who held a child in her arms, rushed up excitedly again at this moment. She waved the money in her hand and shouted, "Give me a bottle, give me a bottle. My child is ill. Give me a bottle of the Life Elixir Wine."

When Fade saw this, he blocked the crowd for the peasant woman and gave her a bottle of Life Elixir Wine.

The woman was overjoyed. She immediately crouched down at the door of the store, uncapped the bottle wine, and carefully poured a handful of the wine before feeding it to the child in her arms who was coughing.

Fade frowned. He stepped forward to stop her and said, "What are you doing? You can't let a child drink wine!"

The Life Elixir Wine had myriads of healthimproving effects, it was nevertheless wine. It was not something good to feed wine to a child.

When the woman saw that it had been the big shot, Fade, who came over, she was nervous and stuttered, "My child is ill and needs to drink the

Life Elixir Wine."

Hearing this, Fade was even more puzzled. He said, "Your child is ill. You should bring him to the hospital and see a doctor! Why are you feeding him wine here?"

When the woman saw that Fade had been infuriated, she became more timid and said, "Getting treated at the hospital is too expensive for me. I can't afford it. I can only buy the Life Elixir Wine for the child."

"Your child is just having a cough. How expensive could the treatment be?" Fade raised his voice, "After all, the Life Elixir Wine is not a medicine. It's bad for a child to be consuming wine."

The peasant woman lowered her head and said, "I took the child to the hospital. The doctor said that it would take 8,000 yuan to cure the disease completely. I don't have the capacity to get treated there, that's why I wanted to buy the Life Elixir Wine for my child."

"What! It's merely a cough, and it costs 8,000 yuan! Why is the hospital so expensive?" Fade couldn't help frowning. "Did you go to the wrong hospital?"

"That... that had been the cheapest price..." The woman whispered.

"How is this possible?" Fade was confused.

It was then, the watching crowd started chiming in.

"President Chen, you are a big boss. You don't know how difficult it is for commoners like us!"

"Yes, now the hospital's medical expenses have risen a lot. It costs one or two thousand yuan to treat common cold and fever!"

"For diseases that are more severe, it costs at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in a single visit!"

"You wealthy people may not care about this amount of money, but we commoners really can't afford it!"

The more information Fade obtained from the public, the more he felt that something had been amiss. This led him to start asking around to better grasp the situation.

Then, when Fade learned of the situation, his expression became stern.

Their financial conditions were pretty much similar to the woman he had spoken with moments ago. It was either their family members or they themselves who had fallen sick, but they were unable to afford the medical expenses at the hospital, that was why they came to fight over for Life Elixir Wine.

Moreover, from the price they mentioned, Fade learned that medical expenses had increased tremendously in the past few months.

Fade knew that things seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined. This incident was not merely just one store owner marking up the wine price.

Fade did not say much. After helping the woman to treat the infant in her arms, he swiftly returned to the company with Manager Han.

When they returned to the company, Fade called the people responsible for the sales of the Life Elixir Wine to ask about the situation.

Of course, Fade also knew that these methods were just a temporary solution, it could not solve the fundamental issue.

As long as the hospital continued to demand high medical fees, it was impossible to eliminate the frenzy over the Life Elixir Wine. After all, considering the fact that Dragonville is a large city, with the current scale of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, the supply of the Life Elixir Wine will not be able to catch up to its demand in a short time.

Therefore, if Fade wanted to solve this problem, he must start from the very roots and find out the reason as to why the medical fees had gone overboard.

When he thought of this, Fade immediately retrieved his mobile phone and called Dr. Tao.

"Hello, Fade, have you returned to Long City?" Daphne Tao, who was on the other side of the phone, seemed occupied. Fade could vaguely hear her running footsteps and the noises in the background.

"Yes, I just came back yesterday. Dr. Tao, what's the matter with the sudden increase in the hospital's medical expenses?" Fade asked.

Daphne said, "So you've learnt about this problem. It's a long story."

"When are you free, Dr. Tao?" Fade asked.

"After work today, I'll tell you in person," Daphne said.

"Okay, let's go to the Spicy Restaurant near the entrance of City Medical Center!" Fade decided.

Daphne said, "Okay, I'll call you after work."

After hanging up the phone, Fade then called Jason Tu of the Tu Medicine Center and invited the elderly Mr. Tu as well.

Soon, when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Fade arrived at the City Medical Center in advance and went into the Spicy Restaurant to order the dishes before settling down.
