Chapter 109: Chapter 109

"Alright, go ahead, I’m all ears."

Xia Ling stared at Long Chen.

She really wanted to know, what Long Chen was seeking her out for.

Long Chen chose his words carefully and said, "Quit your job at the hospital and come work with me."

"Ah?"

Xia Ling was stunned. "Work on what? Mr. Long, you can’t possibly have any indecent ideas, right?

I’m not short on money, and I’m definitely not the kind of woman you can just casually keep."

"How much do you make a year?" Long Chen asked.

"About half a million a year."

"I’ll give you five million to work with me," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Good grief."

Xia Ling stood up in shock, staring at Long Chen in disbelief: "You... you can’t just throw money at me to get your way. Even though five million is a lot, I will absolutely not be a mistress. Get that out of your head; I’ll resist to the death."

Xia Ling’s voice was somewhat loud, drawing the attention of other customers in the breakfast shop.

"Five million a year? Good heavens, young man, with your looks, do you really need to do this? I’ll take just one million; take care of me instead."

A girl at the next table said with a teasing smile.

"Go away, go away, she’s misunderstood me. What I meant was that I want her to start a company with me, to undertake a legitimate business."

Long Chen explained with a laugh.

"Is that so? A salary of five million a year, that’s really high."

The girl muttered with a look of envy.

Xia Ling also realized that Long Chen didn’t mean keeping her and her face turned red: "Do what? You’re offering me an annual salary of five million, but you’re not asking me to do anything illegal and disorderly, are you?"

"Of course not, this place isn’t suitable for talking about it, let’s go somewhere else."

Long Chen stood up.

Seeing this, Xia Ling had no choice but to follow Long Chen out of the breakfast shop.

The two arrived at a quiet spot in the hospital, just as heavy snow began to fall, swirling through the air.

Xia Ling felt the chill and kept rubbing her hands.

Seeing this, Long Chen took off his coat and draped it over her.

"Thank you." Xia Ling thanked him and then looked up at Long Chen, who was only wearing a thin short sleeve, and she was incredibly astonished: "Aren’t you cold?"

"Not cold, I’m in good health." Long Chen said with an easy smile. "I can even swim in winter, do you want to see?"

"You’re not just pretending, are you? It’s so cold; don’t do this, put your clothes back on yourself."

Xia Ling tried to take off the coat to give it back, but Long Chen stopped her.

"I’m truly all right; feel free to keep wearing it. Let’s talk business, I want to research some drugs to treat AIDS and cancer, but this requires registering a company and eventually going public. You surely know more about this area, so I want you to join me."

"You’re not talking in your sleep, are you?" Xia Ling said with a wry smile: "AIDS and cancer still can’t be truly conquered today, only contained. If you’re talking about researching drugs for containment, I believe you, but treatment, let’s forget about it."

"I’m quite confident." Long Chen said seriously. "I’m not joking. Moreover, I need your help. You’re a doctor and have more contacts with patients. Find me an AIDS patient and a cancer patient with serious conditions, and give me their contact information."

"This... aren’t you going to end up harming someone?"

Xia Ling hesitated.

"Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong, you’ve seen my medical skills," Long Chen said.

"Alright, I’ll help you with this first. As for whether I’ll work with you and whether you’ll become my boss, that will depend on whether you can cure the two patients I find for you," Xia Ling said.

"Tsk, missy, I’m the one coming to you now, but later, you might be the one actively seeking to work with me. Don’t blame me when I kick you while you’re down, and drop your salary from five million down to one million."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, if you really can cure them, forget about one million, with fifty thousand, I’ll quit my job and come work with you."

Xia Ling said.

"That’s what you said, don’t regret it later," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, I won’t regret it."

Xia Ling huffed.

"Then send me the patients’ contact information when you get back. I have other things to take care of, so I’m leaving now."

Long Chen left without dragging his feet.

Xia Ling watched Long Chen walk away before she suddenly realized she still had his coat on.

By then, Long Chen had already gone too far.

She pulled the coat around her and sniffed it cautiously; it smelled really nice.

She showed a bright smile and turned to head back to the hospital.

After Long Chen left, he went straight to the herbal medicine shop.

Within the Medical Immortal Treasure Manual were recorded some Elixir Formulas that could treat certain incurable diseases.

Long Chen didn’t know what the results would be, but he was quite confident that by combining research on patient conditions, he could develop the related Elixirs.

A moment later, Long Chen arrived at the herbal medicine shop, bought nearly a hundred thousand yuan worth of herbs, and took them back to Zhao Churan’s house.

"Wow, Chen big bro, you bought so much medicine, are you planning to eat medicine instead of food?"

Unrivaled asked in surprise.

"Go away, go away, little girl, what do you know, go play on the side."

Long Chen slapped Unrivaled dismissively.

Unrivaled pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Some people are just dumb; it’s obvious that Brother Long Chen wants to practice Alchemy."

Zhuge Xuan disdainfully glanced at Unrivaled.
