chapter 7 Oscar

"Roze, I heard that your Ye Group was venturing into the real estate industry and had even participated in the bidding for the New Century City in the Lindong Area. Do you have any thoughts on this development project?"
Luca Li leaned back in his chair, puffing on a cigar, his aura dominant. He changed the way he addressed Cindy from her formal name to "Roze",
which made the dynamic resemble that of a business mogul addressing a junior, subtly shifting the atmosphere.
Faced with this familiar address, Cindy felt a touch of aversion.
Luca Li could indeed be considered her elder. After all, he was a leading figure in the real estate industry. If the Ye Group wanted to venture into real estate, they really needed his approval.
"Mr. Li, the Lindong Area is being developed as the New Century City by national mandate. I'm aware that you are also bidding for this project. Although the Ye Group made its name in electronics and biological research, we're somewhat unfamiliar with real estate. Our participation in this bid is primarily to open this door.
So, I'd like to cooperate with you, Mr. Li. As long as our two companies win the bid, and jointly develop the New Century City in the Lindong Area, I believe we can achieve a win-win in the future!" Cindy spoke with calm confidence, displaying wisdom and maturity.
Luca Li squinted slightly, admiring Cindy's breathtaking beauty and wasn't really listening to what she was saying, lost in her appearance.
"Mr. Li, after hearing my suggestion, do you have any concerns?" Cindy finished and asked.
"Oh," Luca Li came back to his senses, took a drag from his cigar, nodded, and laughed, "Roze, you know the status of Li Enterprises Real Estate Group in Yulin City. Why are you confident that I would choose to work with the Ye Group and not some other established real estate groups?"
Cindy nodded confidently at Luca Li, "Because I, Cindy, managed in two years to elevate the Ye Group from 25th place on the Yulin City business group rankings to the top 15!"
"Haha, speaking of this, I have to admire your business acumen. It's truly impressive." Luca Li couldn't help but nod and clap in appreciation.
"Thank you for the praise, Mr. Li."
Cindy was indeed proud and confident about her achievements with the Ye Group.
"By the way, Roze, you got married, right?" However, Luca Li suddenly changed the topic, looking at Cindy with a smile.
Cindy was taken aback, not expecting him to suddenly bring up this topic, and nodded, "I got married last year."
"Hehe, I heard. You chose a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine as your husband?"
Luca Li took a puff from his cigar, narrowed his eyes, and shook his head with a sigh, "It's a pity. With your business talent, you should have chosen a man with ambition and achievements. How could an ordinary man ever be worthy of such a beautiful and talented woman like you?"
Cindy was slightly stunned, feeling the predatory gaze of Luca Li, as if he wanted to devour her, a sense of caution rising in her heart.
At that moment, a secretary whispered something to Luca Li. He nodded, stood up, and smiled at Cindy, "Roze, I have a golf appointment with an important client. Regarding the cooperation between Ye Group and Li Enterprises Real Estate Group, let's discuss in detail at the Garden Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight."
Cindy frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Luca Li who laughed, "If the Ye Group wants to enter the real estate industry and if I don't give my approval, it would be hard for you to win the bidding for the New Century City in the Lindong Area. Think about it."
Having said that, Luca Li left with his secretary, smiling. Cindy's eyebrows furrowed, her heart heavy, sensing the implicit message in Luca Li's words.
"Ms. Ye, what should we do now?" Cece Deng turned to ask.
"This man is tough to deal with. It seems I must go tonight!" Cindy's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold hum in her heart.
"However..."
"There is no 'however'. For the company to successfully enter the real estate field, I must get him!" Cindy Ye's eyes were firm. No matter what kind of person Luca Li was, or how difficult he was to deal with, she had to win him over and cooperate.
"All right, you go back to the company first, and I'll go check on grandpa at the hospital." Saying this to Cece Deng, Cindy Ye also left the restaurant and drove towards the hospital.
Cece Deng stood alone at the door, a little worried, wondering what would happen tonight.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Street.
Noah Jiang was sitting in his clinic, flipping through the "Book of Huang Emperor". He had become accustomed to this quietness.
Since inheriting the unparalleled medical knowledge of the Yuanshi Medical Fairy from his ancestors, Noah felt refreshed. He was now quickly reading the medical books, which he used to painstakingly memorize.
All the terminologies from the medical books appeared before his eyes, and based on the medical knowledge left by the Yuanshi Medical Fairy, he could determine which medicinal ingredients matched which medicine to maximize its effects.
Everything seemed to have become easier for him.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
At that moment, Noah heard a commotion outside. He got up and went to the door.
Two vans were parked in front of Uncle Henry's Clinic, and more than ten young men holding sticks came out and rushed into the clinic.
"Oscar, it's Oscar and his group!"
Dr. Ethan Chen and the nurses, seeing this group come in, especially the leader, who was tall, intimidating, and holding a baseball bat, knew he was Oscar, the notorious bully in the Yilin District!
"Smash it! Smash and destroy it all! These quacks almost killed my younger sister! I won't calm down until I've destroyed this damn clinic," roared Brother Oscar, smashing the glass cabinets next to him with his baseball bat, causing Ruth Chen and the other nurses to scream in fright.
In an instant, the young men with bats began destroying the clinic's equipment. The frightened doctors, nurses, and patients tried to flee, screaming. The scene was chaotic.
"Stop! All of you stop! You can't destroy my clinic!"
Henry Chen, with an anxious expression, rushed out to confront Brother Oscar, shouting, "Stop right now, or I'll call the police!"
"Call the police? You have the guts to do that?"
Oscar, with a sinister look, pointed his baseball bat at Henry Chen, "You almost killed my sister. Now my brother is in the hospital because of a car accident, all because your damn clinic gave fake medicine. And you want to call the police? Go ahead! I hope they shut down your shitty clinic."
"No, I didn't give fake medicine. You're saying I misdiagnosed a patient, but she didn't die. You can't slander my medical ethics because of that," said Henry Chen, shaking but still looking Brother Oscar in the eyes.
"Medical ethics? What medical ethics do you quack doctors have? Tell me, what is medical ethics?"
Brother Oscar held his baseball bat and pointed at the surrounding frightened nurses and doctors. None dared to speak.
"As a doctor, one must be both ethical and skilled. Patients entrust their lives to us. We must be honest, sincere, righteous, and kind. We must sincerely try our best to relieve the patients' suffering. That is the medical ethics of doctors," Noah Jiang, who had just come in with Ethan Chen and Ruth Chen, replied.
"Who are you?"
Oscar turned around, pointing the baseball bat at Noah's nose, "Don't play smart with me. Believe it or not, I can beat you to death with one swing."
Facing Oscar's fierce demeanour, Noah remained calm, "I've said it before. Even if she went to the best hospital in Yulin City, they wouldn't be able to treat her illness."
"You little bastard! You couldn't treat my sister's illness, and now you're making excuses. Today, I'll teach you quacks a lesson." Oscar was furious. Before he could finish his words, he swung his baseball bat towards Noah's head.
"Ah, Brother Noah!"
Ruth Chen screamed. The surrounding crowd, seeing this scene, turned their heads, unable to look directly.
