Mr. Mike Snell's special plane did not arrive in Shanghai on August 31.
Senator Lehman had been delayed in Shanghai for three days to meet him. He had many activities to attend in early September, and he seemed very impatient.
Waiting for Mr. Mike Snell to arrive and introducing him to "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" is an obligation that Senator Lehman must fulfill as an introducer. Over the years, in various senatorial campaigns, Mike Snell has Mr. Er is the most important sponsor.
Mr. Snell's condition is very serious now, but for reasons and reasons, he must stay in Shanghai.
Senator Lehman is also annoyed that if Mr. Mike Snell passes away unfortunately, he will need to find a new sponsor among the heirs of the Snell family. The current situation is quite confusing. Mrs. Snell and Snell Mr. Er's ex-wife and children seemed to have a chance, and he could not place a bet in this delicate period full of uncertainties.
However, in the eyes of the successors of the Snell family, Lehman's status as a senator is undoubtedly very important; with his support, he will have a strong foreign aid in the possible future inheritance battle.
Therefore, Mrs. Snell used the excuse to discuss her condition with the senator, asked about "miraculous doctor Li Xiang"'s situation in Shanghai, and frequently called him. Mike Snell's second son, currently the vice president of Snell Asset Management Company, Mr. Robert Snell, Chairman of the Snell Foundation, arrived in Shanghai in the morning.
He did not come directly to Wanghai Hospital. After checking into the Jinjiang Hotel, he immediately summoned three lawyers from the Breston Vida & Presidency Law Firm for a meeting. He is now calling Senator Lehman to invite him to join them. dinner.
Lehman was a little undecided because Mr. Snell's senior assistant, Mr. Anthony, had also arrived.
Anthony not only sent a custom-made ambulance, but also brought two professional bodyguards and two lawyers who were not affiliated with the law firm of Breston Vidal Pres.
Mr. Snell's assets are divided into three parts: the Snell Asset Management Company controlled by Mrs. Snell, the Snell Foundation controlled by Mr. Robert Snell, Mike Snell's second son, and the Snell Foundation. One is the Snell Medical Research Center, which is run by Mr. Anthony.
It was the Snell Medical Research Center that hired these two lawyers, which means it was Mr. Anthony who paid for them.
Mr. Anthony is a pure African-American, in his fifties, with a kind face and always a smile on his face. His hair is thinning, but his body is as strong as a hill.
Senator Lehman is a white supremacist, but that also depends on the situation. Facing the pure-skinned Anthony, Senator Lehman did not show even a trace of arrogance. Every time he spoke, he would have a smile on his face. The same smile as Anthony.
As Zhu Tong expected, Anthony arrived early not only to deliver the ambulance, but the two lawyers also brought a document that they hoped he could sign.
This document is simpler than Thompson's, only twelve thin pages.
The location was still in the luxurious clinic of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" at Wanghai Hospital, but Zhu Tong also refused to sign the document on the excuse that he needed his own lawyer to study it.
Anthony and Senator Lehman were talking to the side, seemingly not paying much attention.
Hearing that Zhu Tong refused to sign, Anthony turned around and said with a smile: "If Mr. Li feels that those terms are inappropriate, please bring them up and we can discuss them. These documents must be completed before nine o'clock tomorrow morning,"
"Must means..." Zhu Tong took off his glasses and looked at him in confusion.
Anthony waved his hands: "Why not? It can shorten the distance between us and resolve possible misunderstandings in advance. You are a very accomplished doctor. Mr. Senator is full of praise for you. Lord Hamilton also thinks that, Only you can cure Mr. Snell's disease and at least let him live for a few more years. I think the doctor they jointly recommended must be outstanding. Before making this decision, we entrusted a friend to collect some of the doctors who have been treated by you. Good patient cases, we are also very honored to invite two of your past patients to the Snell Medical Research Center. Mr. Snell believes that you can, so we are here. There is a Chinese proverb, called the small person first. Gentleman, I think it makes sense,"
"You have studied me," Zhu Tong's face turned cold and he glanced at Senator Lehman; "I always thought we were friends,"
"It has nothing to do with me," Lehman quickly defended himself. He said dissatisfiedly to Anthony: "Sir, I think what you did is very impolite."
Listen carefully, what Anthony is talking about is only the cases of patients that Zhu Tong has cured, but those information will not be simply limited to the medical field. Zhu Tong himself knows his own affairs. After "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" is officially listed in Wanghai Hospital, he will not need to To elaborate, although some of his patients are from poor families and cannot afford high medical bills, most of them are rich and wealthy. Without the huge wealth gained from them, Wanghai Hospital would not be able to sustain itself today.
Before he was admitted to Wanghai Hospital, especially during the confrontation with Lord Hamilton, according to Senator Lehman, "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" gave people the impression that although he was not ruthless, he was "greedy and unscrupulous" These eight words are very appropriate to describe it.
Lehman did not want to create a barrier between him and Zhu Tong. Although the first meeting between the two was not a good one, and they had not seen each other several times in more than a year, in Lehman's heart, the Chinese doctor seemed to have already Become one of his most important friends.
When Mr. Mike Snell was still in good spirits, Lehman had of course discussed "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" with him. In that informal chat between friends, Lehman said something that seems inappropriate now. But at that time, he never thought that one day, Mike Snell, who owned a Snell Medical Research Center, would have to ask for help from "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang".
"Mr. Lehman, the issue we are discussing now has nothing to do with you. I know you and you are a good person." Zhu Tong waved his hand at Lehman and said to Anthony: "Of course Mr. Snell has the right to investigate the doctor who will treat him. With his wealth and influence, it is understandable for a doctor to be cautious, but as a doctor, I also have the freedom to choose patients,"
"I'm sorry, this is Madam's intention. If Mr. Li feels offended, I apologize to you." Anthony stood up, bent down and bowed sincerely, but when he raised his head, he said seriously: " Every doctor who treats Mr. Snell is required to sign a similar legal document. This is not just for Mr. and Mrs. Snell, but also to protect you from outside interference and to concentrate on what you are doing. What I'm good at, I know, the lawyers of Braxton Vidalpuris have hit a snag with you. That document is more like an uncomfortable rope. I'm sorry, these are Mr. Snell's exact words. , the document in front of you has nothing complicated and difficult to understand, no legal traps, and it will not hurt your self-esteem. You should take a closer look at it. I believe that you will be very happy after reading it. Signed,"
"Mr. Anthony, I think you didn't understand what I meant," Zhu Tong stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and said rudely: "I think there is no need to waste everyone's time. In addition to Wanghai Hospital, there are many hospitals in Shanghai There are several well-known traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, and I can introduce some good colleagues to you,"
Anthony showed a confused expression. He looked at Lehman who looked very embarrassed, frowned and said: "Before boarding the plane, Mrs. Snell specifically asked me to add a final remuneration clause. From Mr. Mike Snell Counting from the moment he arrives in Shanghai, if his life does not last a day, you will receive twenty-four thousand US dollars. Of course, the consultation fee is additional, and the terms of remuneration do not mention the validity period. You can understand that for every life of Mr. Snell, Hours, you can get a thousand dollars even in your sleep. I think there is no more generous remuneration terms in the world than this, as long as you sign..."
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Zhu Tong called Miss Sirea outside the door: "Greet the guests for me. It's time for inspection. Anna, accompany me to the ward."
Anna is the current English name of the beautiful female anchor. She has to follow the entire interview. Her current identity is the personal assistant of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang". Zhu Tong specially arranged a set for her next to Sirea's seat in the reception room. Sophisticated yet comfortable tables and chairs.
There were also two bodyguards brought by Anthony sitting in the reception room. They were two white men with dark skin and serious expressions. When they saw Zhu Tong coming out, they suddenly stood up and stopped in front of him.
The female anchor turned pale with fright. Snell's bodyguards had an evil aura about them, and many people would surely die at their hands; she couldn't bear it.
"You'd better sit down and finish your coffee," Zhu Tong stopped and turned around and asked, "Anthony, what does this mean?"
"You should think about it again. Some things may not be acceptable at the time, but when we take a longer view, we may find that everything is worth it. Some people in the world should have privileges, and some people...well, young people People, let's just leave it at that, we'll talk later," Anthony was a very calm person. He sat on the sofa until yesterday's figure disappeared, and then he stood up with regret.
He could see clearly that the young "miracle doctor Li Xiang" ignored their deliberate threats and walked away from them while protecting Anna.
The two bodyguards sat down and quietly picked up their wine glasses and drank coffee. Miss Sirea pouted her lips, as if she had known better.
She stood at the door and made a polite gesture of invitation.
Now that the master is gone, Anthony and Lehman can't help but stay here.
Together they returned to the villa prepared by Wanghai Hospital for Mr. Snell's entourage. Anthony called to report to his boss, while Lehman stood in front of the window in a daze out of boredom.
"The Purple Wind will arrive at 10:15 tomorrow morning," Anthony put down the phone, walked to Lehman and whispered softly: "Mrs. Snell asked me to convey her apology. She knew that you were delayed because of Mr. Snell. For a long time, my wife said that you have always been her most trustworthy friend,"
"Anthony, you messed up the matter," Lehman shook his head; "He is a weird guy, and people with good tempers will have some tempers. This time, you are wrong. Please persuade him to agree to see a doctor for Mr. Snell." It's a lot of trouble, but God, you can't think that he is a money-grubbing guy, that kind of thing is useless to him,"
Anthony said: "I know, dear Mr. Senator, I can apologize to him again, if necessary. I think the matter is not as serious as you think. Mrs. Snell will arrive tomorrow. Everything that happened just now is Mrs. She will find a way to do as she is told. You know, Mr. Finney is a good friend of Madam and he has already agreed to help."
"Mr. Finney from the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, it's best not to let Mrs. Snell mention that person in front of him. It will only make things worse. Sometimes...I mean sometimes, For example, when he feels slighted, he can easily become an ultra-nationalist," Lehman said disdainfully.
Anthony was startled. He knew the senator very well. He was a white man who maintained a good friendship with a Chinese. He also devoted himself to sponsoring a yellow and black mixed-race golf boy named Watanabe Shun. All this is because the Chinese is "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang".
For Finney, the trip to Xijing was nothing worth boasting about. After returning to Shanghai, he only complained a few times in private. Of course, Anthony could not know what happened between "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" and Finney a few days ago. of unhappiness.
"Any suggestions, Mr. Senator," Anthony asked, stroking the short beard on his chin.
"I'll go talk to him tonight," Lehman said helplessly. "Based on what I know about him, there's not much hope. However, he's not driving you away right now. Maybe there's still hope. That must be the case. I'll call him now,"
Anthony held Lehman's dialing hand and said: "We also have Chinese medicine practitioners in our medical research center. Mr. Snell said that the reasonable explanation should be: Chinese medicine practitioners are a group that is difficult to understand, and most of their behaviors follow a certain pattern. A very peaceful philosophy of life: leaving some room for things and saving face for others, I think it makes sense."
"Anthony, you are such a lucky and shrewd guy," Lehman said with a thumbs up; "As for Mrs. Snell, I hope her luck this time is as good as her appearance."
"My lady's luck has always been very good," Anthony said confidently.
Lehman snorted. In his opinion, Zhu Tong was not a person who was greedy for beauty. He had many beautiful and charming women around him, some of whom he turned into sisters, and most of whom were just pure friends.
There are no less than gossips and scandals about "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" circulating in Shanghai, but people in the circle know that those are just gossips. "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" is a very affectionate person.
This is one of the reasons why he can gain trust.
"You can start working," Anthony shouted.
Two bodyguards brought in a black box, followed by a pale and thin man.
He opened the box, took out some sophisticated-looking instruments, and quickly assembled something that looked like a classical transmitter.
"This is Burles," Anthony introduced simply.
Lehman nodded. It was obvious that Anthony did not intend to introduce them to each other.
