BXBX NOVEL Chapter 572 - The Ambitious Were the Victors
Everyone was touched when they saw the words on the banner.
They felt that the saying was perfect suited for Lin Yi.
He did his job well and treated all patients equally, regardless of whether they were rich or poor.
Moreover, he always tried his best to devise treatment plans that helped the poor save money and reduce their expenses as much as possible.
No matter how big the surgery was, he never took a single cent as a gift. A doctor like this was definitely worthy of such an evaluation.
In their hearts, Director Li was the only other one worthy of such a title.
Both of them could be regarded as role models for modern doctors.
However, in Liang Ruoxu’s eyes, Lin Yi was the only one in the whole of Huaxia who was worthy of this banner.
He had developed a medicine that could replace ibuprofen. The original price of a box of medicine was 289 yuan, but it was now reduced to 23.4 yuan.
Then, he reduced the price of the 25 imported drugs by one-third of the original price.
Apart from that, Pfizer and the six major pharmaceutical companies would set up their new research center in Zhonghai.
He also made sure that the price of the developed medicine would not exceed 50% of the cost.
He had managed to do what Uncle Chen and the others had not been able to do for so many years. He had reduced the price of those sky-high medicines to two-thirds of their original price.
He had done so many things, but not a single one of them benefitted him. He even had to pay for it out of his own pocket.
Who else was more worthy of this than a doctor like Lin Yi?
“Director Lin, Mayor Liang is offering you a present. Go and receive it.” Miao Guofeng said softly.
This happiness had come too suddenly, and Lin Yi couldn’t accept it.
He had been working so hard for more than a month and had not received any scrolls He did not expect Liang Ruoxu to gift one to him at the last moment.
“Haha, that’s exactly what I wanted.”
Ignoring everyone else, Lin Yi grabbed Liang Ruoxu and lifted her up by her butt. He spun her a few rounds in the air and kissed her face a few times.
Liang Ruoxu was confused.
“I just wanted to give you a silk banner to thank you. Why are you so excited?
“You don’t have to be so brazen even if you want to take advantage of me!”
Miao Guofeng and the rest were even more dumbfounded.
She was the mayor!
He kissed her just like that?
“I’m going to kill you!” Liang Ruoxu pushed Lin Yi away, too embarrassed to face anyone.
“Haha, let’s go. I’ll cook for you today. Let me treat you to a meal. ”
Under everyone’s gazes, Lin Yi pulled Liang Ruoxu to the stairs.
Liang Ruoxu grabbed onto Lin Yi’s waist.
“There are so many people here. Why did you kiss me?”
“Now that there’s no one else, can we kiss?”
Oh my …
Lin Yi kissed Liang Ruoxu on the cheek again.
“You’re so disgusting, stop taking advantage of me.”
“Didn’t you kiss me last night? Now. you’re calling me disgusting. You’re really disingenuous.”
“Don’t mention what happened last night again.” Liang Ruoxu’s face turned red as she tried to stop him.
“Alright, alright, alright. Mum’s the word.”
Lin Yi wasn’t in the mood to care about Liang Ruoxu anymore.
The system’s notification had already sounded in his mind.
[Mission completed. You are rewarded with 300000 proficiency points.]
[Class completion rate, 100%. Reward: E-Class combat power.]
‘E-Class combat strength?’
Lin Yi’s head buzzed as he looked at the reward.
“What kind of stupid reward is this?”
[Earth’s combat strength is divided into five levels, A, B, C, D, and E. The reward you have just received is an E-class reward.]
“In other words, it’s the worst level.”
[Yes.]
“But I feel that my physique is already very impressive now. If I obtain E-class combat strength, how much will I improve?”
[If converted into a numerical value, it’s about a hundred times your current strength.]
“Damn, coupled with the sage’s wisdom, I feel that I’m quite awesome. If I can increase my strength by a hundred fold, won’t I be invincible?”
[With the host’s previous combat strength, he is only stronger than ordinary people. He is still not a match for a combat expert.]
“If I obtain E-class combat strength, I don’t think any combat expert or special forces would be a match for me.”
[Yes.]
“But these people are already the strongest people on Earth. Who else can be comparable to E-class and above?”
[Although Earth is small, it is more complex than you think. People’s combat strength can’t be evaluated with the naked eye. Please continue to work hard.]
“Huh? You don’t seem to care about Earth,” Lin Yi said.
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time. System, where did you come from? The M78 Nebula or Planet Cybertron ?”
[When the host is strong enough, he will naturally know the answer.]
“Eh, then let me ask you another question,” Lin Yi said, “Every profession has an achievement badge. What is this for?”
[No comment. Host, please figure it out yourself.]
“Ugh, I might as well have not asked.”
Although the system was still as cold as ever, Lin Yi had guessed something.
It seemed that the achievement badge of every profession was not useless. It was just that he did not know its use.
Could it be that he would be able to summon the System’s true body to make a wish?
Apart from that, the system’s tone seemed to be very interesting.
He didn’t seem to care about Earth at all. Could he be from another civilization?
Wasn’t this idea a little ridiculous?
Lin Yi suddenly felt like he had become a chosen child.
He might even be gifted a Digimon someday.
“Hello? What are you thinking about?”
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about these questions, Liang Ruoxu’s words interrupted his thoughts.
“It’s fine. I was thinking that your lipstick is quite sweet,” Lin Yi said.
“But I like mango-flavored lipstick. Remember to change it next time.”
“You’re too much. You kissed me in front of so many people. I’ve lost all my dignity.”
“Be grateful. The female doctors and nurses in the hospital can’t ever get such treatment.”
“You’re taking advantage of me.”
“You just don’t know how lucky you are.”
Liang Ruoxu, “…”
“I don’t have time for this. Did you call my mother back?”
“Not yet.”
“Let’s go back now. Since I have nothing to do, I can listen in too,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Why are you so nosy?”
“Can’t I listen to you talk to my mother on the phone?”
“This is a call between mother-in-law and son-in-law. Why are you eavesdropping?”
“Don’t flatter yourself. My mother is not your mother-in-law,” Liang Ruoxu said. “Hurry up and reply to my mother. She’s probably looking for you for something.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything else and called Shen Shuyi back.
With her identity and status, if there was an urgent matter, it might really be something critical.
“Auntie, I heard that you were looking for me?”
“Did Little Mi tell you?” Shen Shuyi asked.
“Yeah.”
“She’s with you?”
“Yes, you’re on loudspeaker. She’s listening too.”
“Let’s just talk alone.”
Liang Ruoxu, “???”
Do I not deserve to know the contents of your conversation?
What right do you have to talk behind my back?
“Actually, I didn’t want her to listen in, but she didn’t agree. She even said that if I didn’t work hard, she wouldn’t let me go to bed at night. I had no choice. A man’s life is too difficult.”
“You don’t have to listen to her. I’ll make the decision for you. Find a private place and we’ll talk alone.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let him go to bed,” Liang Ruoxu explained.
“I don’t care what’s going on between the two of you, but don’t get listen in to this matter. If do, you won’t be able to handle our discussion.”
Lin Yi took his phone and walked to the side.
“Auntie, if there’s anything, just say it.”
“I saw the news you posted online. If nothing goes wrong, Zhao Mo and the others will lose at least 100 billion.”
“There might be.”
“However, this matter ends here. This lesson is already serious enough for Zhao Mo and the others.”
“Okay, but what does Auntie want to say?”
“The liquidity of Didi’s stocks is very low on the market now. Zhao Mo and the others can’t buy it even if they want to. If this matter continues to ferment, it won’t be of any substantial benefit to you. You should understand what I mean.”
Although stocks were digital, they all carried their own value.
For example, a car worth 500,000 yuan could easily be sold for 700,000 yuan through marketing and packaging.
It was even possible to sell it for 1,000,000 yuan. Moreover, it was possible to maintain this price for a long time.
However, if he wanted to sell this car for two million, three million, or even more, he could actually achieve it through building hype.
However, such high profits were the so-called economic bubble.
This could not be maintained for long. When the price collapsed, it would not be beneficial to anyone.
What Lin Yi did was very similar to this.
He kept releasing information that was beneficial to Didi to raise the price of the stocks on the market.
At the same time, he also withdrew a large amount of money to buy loose shares on the market, further reducing the liquidity of the shares, making it impossible for Zhao Mo and the others to buy and return them to the brokerage.
This directly caused Didi’s share price to reach an unprecedented height.
However, this would not have lasted long without the support of large sums of money.
In the end, it would still fall back to normal. When that happened, not only would Zhao Mo lose, but Lin Yi would also suffer.
That was why Shen Shuyi reminded Lin Yi not to do this maliciously. He had to maintain things within a controllable range to prevent matters from going south.
“I know,” Lin Yi said, “I won’t let that happen.”
“That’s good.” Shen Shuyi said.
“However, I have to remind you to try your best to end this here. You’ve already defeated Zhao Mo, which is enough to prove your ability. So, don’t delay this matter for too long. Think of a way to settle it as soon as possible.”
Lin Yi frowned and whispered,
“Auntie, what are you worried about? Is it Huayin Group or the four big families?”
“I’ll help you convince Huayin Group by myself. They’re not a big problem, but there are hidden dangers everywhere in Zhonghai. I’m afraid that someone will launch a sneak attack and cause the stocks of the four major families to plummet. You have to understand that even if their family business doesn’t mention anything relating to national affairs, it is essentially one and the same. Under such a system, you can do anything you want, but you can’t cross the red line.”
“I understand what you mean.”
“It’s good that you understand,” Shen Shuyi said.
“Originally, I never thought that you would be able to crush Zhao Mo to death. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you all this. You brat, you’re indeed worrisome. You should cash out while you still can before you become someone else’s stepping stone.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He understood Shen Shuyi’s intentions.
“Since you understand the stakes, I won’t say anything else,” Shen Shuyi said.
“Alright, I have other things to deal with, so I won’t talk to you anymore. I know that you might not be convinced, but don’t be anxious. Now is not the time for you to stand out. In a few years, this world will be yours.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
After settling this business, Shen Shuyi hung up the phone and was no longer worried about this matter.
Before this, Shen Shuyi’s idea was to let Lin Yi and Zhao Mo mess around.
If Wang Dongqing saw that her son was being bullied and decided to personally take part in the battle, then as his half-mother-in-law, she definitely wouldn’t just sit by.
However, at that time, Shen Shuyi did not expect the two of them to play on such a large scale.
A capital game worth hundreds of billions was actually in the hands of a few young people. Such handiwork was indeed astonishing.
Even when she was young, she did not have such boldness.
In reality, Shen Shuyi was not only worried about others targeting her.
There was another important matter that could be easily overlooked.
It was the contract Lin Yi had signed with the pharmaceutical companies.
If one did not reach a certain level, they would not understand how influential this contract was.
If it was disclosed, Didi’s stock value would reach a terrifying number. It would be totally normal for it to exceed hundreds of billions of dollars.
Especially due to the first agreement. This would greatly improve Huaxia’s international image.
This would bring about a tsunami-like financial shock. At that time, it would be impossible for Wang Dongqing to ignore everything.
At that time, there would be no reason for him to stop her.
Therefore, she had to make Lin Yi stop in time.
Times had changed. With his current strength, he would be unable to support his fanatical ambitions. Keeping his sharpness hidden and biding his time was the wisest choice at this point.
She hoped that he would understand this.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi heaved a sigh of relief.
However, in her heart, she was proud of Lin Yi’s achievements.
It was only right that in this world, the ambitious were the victors.
