Chapter 1330: Chapter 1330 Hospital Director Messed Up_1

Peter Brown regulated his breathing for an hour before he finally recovered, letting out a sigh as he sat there.

Having walked the path of cultivation for so many years, Peter had long learned to view human life lightly. There was a limit to performing good deeds, and this time, he felt he had gone a bit too far.

With so many patients in the world, and numerous others with terminal illnesses, even if he had the power of three heads and six arms, it was impossible to cure them all. If it continued like this, and all the terminal illness patients in the world came to him, then when would he have time to cultivate?

With this thought, Peter shook his head.

However, as a cultivator, he had to keep his promises, and this was also a way to make money. There was no reason for Peter not to do it.

Thinking of the several medicine pills he had concocted, Peter also had some ideas in mind. These medicines could be sold, which could in turn treat many people. If he sold so many medicine pills, the money needed for his cultivation could be secured.

As Peter was immersed in his thoughts, Director Green’s call came through.

No sooner had the call connected, Director Green said, "Peter, you treated only one hundred and fifty people today, but the response was very good. Now, a large number of patients are heading this way and the media has been spreading the news. I say, it’s not good to ignore so many incoming patients."

Hearing this, Peter frowned and said, "Hospital Director, we have an agreement, I only treat thirty people a week, no more."

Director Green replied, "Peter, we are doctors after all, and we must uphold medical ethics, must we not? So many patients are waiting, and many will die if we do not treat them. On our conscience, it’s difficult to justify."

"Director Green, there are so many terminally ill patients in the world, can your small hospital handle them all?"

"That’s not the point. When patients come, we should treat them. The hospital held a meeting and wants to adjust our contract. Rest assured, you will still be paid according to the original scheme. You come and hold consultations for a morning every day, attempt to treat as many patients as possible. This is good for everyone."

Hearing this, Peter knew the hospital was still after profits, which was something he did not want to see, so he said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that my disagreement would not be accepted?"

"Peter, I was originally going to allocate today’s income of over 10 million dollars to you. Everyone thinks that we can only settle accounts after revising the contract. How about coming over to sign the contract?"

At this, Peter laughed, speaking gravely, "Director Green, consider the over 10 million dollars my repayment for your favor; I don’t want it. As for the contract, don’t bother me about it again. From now on, we are even. Let’s leave it at that."

After finishing his words, Peter hung up the phone.

This!

Director Green had intended to lure Peter with over 10 million dollars and had also planned to pressure him, but what he had not expected was for Peter to simply refuse the money.

How could this be?

Director Green was bewildered; he had never seen anyone reject tens of millions of dollars.

After his bewilderment, sweat broke out on Director Green’s forehead, as the influx of so many patients, if left untreated by the hospital, could lead to unknown consequences, a thought that made his heart race in anxiety.

Quickly assembling the hospital’s leaders, Director Green relayed the outcome, and the meeting room fell silent at once, with everyone turning their gaze to the young leader who had come up with the idea.

The young leader had also not expected someone to refuse an income of tens of millions—he was momentarily stunned, sweat trickling from his forehead.

A leader said, "If Peter does not come to treat patients, the reputation our hospital has finally gained will be utterly lost. The consequences of this matter are not limited to that. How will the people of the country see us, how will our leaders see us?"

Another leader said, "No matter what, we must have Peter come to treat patients. Only with him here can we preserve our reputation; otherwise, I fear much more severe complications might arise."

"Indeed, the media has already broadcast the news, with an endless stream of people coming here. Everyone, think about what the situation could become if this continues," someone added.

At this moment, Director Green felt vexed. His relationship with Peter had been fine, and in an attempt to put pressure on Peter using the threat of withholding the 10 million dollars, he had now broken that relationship. Now he truly did not know how to speak with Peter about the matter.

While everyone was discussing the situation, a leader excused himself to go to the Health Room, and in a desolate place, conveyed the hospital’s circumstances to Gilbert Thompson of Harbor District Hospital.

Gilbert, who was already aware of the influx of a large number of patients, rejoiced upon receiving the information. He saw an opportunity for Harbor District Hospital.

He held nothing but contempt for the attitude of Director Green and the others. Did they really think 10 million dollars was impressive? How could a Divine Doctor be worth just over 10 million?

Thinking this, Gilbert told his subordinate, "Immediately buy a luxury car and send it over to Peter."

Standing up, he said, "I will go in person."

As he spoke, Gilbert walked out with purposeful strides.

Soon after, Gilbert arrived at Peter’s place.

Peter, having hung up on Director Green, was also pondering how to earn money. He needed a large quantity of medicinal materials for cultivation, and without much spiritual energy here, the crucial point was the medicinal materials containing spiritual energy. Now that he had severed ties with Director Green’s side, he could consider cooperating with Gilbert, who he could tell was quite a savvy individual.

Seeing Gilbert arrive, a smile appeared on Peter’s face. This guy was indeed an awesome figure who knew how to seize opportunities.

After letting Gilbert inside the house, Peter looked at him and asked, "Something on your mind?"

Gilbert didn’t hide anything, saying, "I’ve heard about your situation with Director Green and the others. As long as you come over, I’ll give you 10 million dollars, and in addition, we will not take a single cent from the earnings from treatments—it all goes to you. You would just need to work one day a week. Is it possible to increase the treatment quota beyond twenty people?"

The offer was indeed tempting.

Peter nodded slightly, "How about this, I will treat one day a week, one hundred people at most, only those with terminal illnesses. Don’t come to me for others."

Gilbert hesitated for a moment before saying, "Could we do eighty terminal cases and twenty others at my discretion?"

Peter laughed and replied, "Sure, we’ll divide the earnings from those twenty people seventy-thirty."

Gilbert smiled and said, "If that’s true, then that’s wonderful."

The two quickly came to an agreement, not even bothering to discuss signing a contract.
