Chapter 869 - Smashing with Money
Chapter 869 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens revealing the plot: Chapter 869: Chapter 910: Smashing with MoneyThe man made Li Yifeiâs hair stand on end;... Discover what happens!
Chapter 869: Chapter 910: Smashing with MoneyThe man made Li Yifeiâs hair stand on end; he also felt that the man before him was quite dangerous and subconsciously took two steps back.
People often have an inherent sense of danger, and if they pay heed to it, they usually can avoid dangers. But some people, even when they sense danger, still think they are tough enough to handle anything, and end up crashing headlong into trouble, eventually suffering for it.
This man seemed to be just like that. His name was Tang Xinghuai, and he was the nephew of a Deputy Director at the Health Bureau. With his uncleâs backing, he had gotten into the pharmaceutical business, selling medical equipment and drugs to major hospitals.
The profit margin in the pharmaceutical industry is quite substantial. As a result, after a few years, this guy had amassed an asset worth tens of millions. Unlike some business people who brag about having assets worth hundreds of millions but only a few million in liquid assets, he didnât need much capital for his business, so his tens of millions were all in real savings and cash. This made him spend more freely and appear even more impressive than some big-time bosses.
He made sure to gift a portion of his earnings to his uncle, and his uncle, in turn, valued him highly and protected him on all fronts. Their collusion as government official and businessman was indeed mutually beneficial.
Such backing made Tang Xinghuai increasingly arrogant and dismissive of others. Perhaps elsewhere he wouldnât dare to be so brazen, but in the hospital, he was quite unrestrained.
Even though he felt a bit intimidated by Li Yifeiâs gaze, he quickly remembered this was a hospital, where from the director down to the doctors and nurses, everyone had to show him respect. Therefore, his courage quickly swelled.
With a swift move, he pulled a stack of cash out of his pocket and, with a flick, said, "Kid, I wonât stoop to your level. Hereâs some money for compensation, hurry up and switch rooms, will you?" He seemed quite generous.
Li Yifei was in a good mood because of his daughterâs birth, but having this guy buzz around him like an annoying fly had put him off. Today, however, he wasnât inclined to get into any confrontations, especially if it could scare his daughter, which would be a great sin. Hence, Li Yifei suppressed his anger and said, "Iâm not changing rooms; you should look elsewhere."
"Kid, donât be difficult. Okay, Iâll throw in an additional five thousand. That makes it ten thousand total. Itâs like Iâve paid for your wife to have the baby, huh?"
Li Yifei, increasingly annoyed, said, "Donât think you can flaunt your damn money with me. The last thing I lack is money."
Li Yifei had the confidence now. He had directly secured a billion dollars from the Yamaguchi Group; throwing money at him was really barking up the wrong tree.
Tang Xinghuai frowned. Anyone who could afford to stay here had to have some money, and throwing money around really was futile. Yet he didnât consider Li Yifei worth much attention and said with an air of superiority, "Kid, Iâm Tang Xinghuai. I spoke too rashly just now, but if you switch the room for me, Iâll owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, you can come to me, and Iâll return the favor."
"I donât need it," Li Yifei said coldly. "Iâm already being generous by not holding you accountable for frightening my daughter. Youâd better stop bothering me here."
"F*ck, youâre really asking for it. I wasnât joking. If you donât agree amicably, I can easily have you thrown out just like that."
Li Yifei glared at him again and said, "Fine, then go and try."
After speaking, he took Su Yiyi by the hand and walked towards the ward. At the door, he turned to the head nurse and said slowly, "Youâd best do your job properly."
The head nurse felt shaky under Li Yifeiâs gaze and gave an embarrassed smile. She was the one caught in the middle of this mess; who would want to provoke trouble unnecessarily? But wasnât this Tang Xinghuai someone she couldnât afford to offend?
Since Li Yifei disagreed, the head nurse couldnât force him and his family to leave, and she also felt that Li Yifei and his group were not to be trifled with. She suggested cautiously to Tang Xinghuai, "Boss Tang, how about I find you a standard room? A four-person room. We can let your family stay alone in it, and it will be like having a deluxe room."
Tang Xinghuaiâs eyes bulged, "No way! Having my wife stay in a standard room would be an embarrassment to me. I must have a deluxe room, no matter what."
"But as you can see, all our deluxe rooms are occupied, and nobody wants to switch. This is really putting me in a difficult position. What if... these mothers with normal deliveries, they usually only stay in the hospital for a day or two before being discharged. As soon as someone leaves, I will reserve a deluxe room for you right away. How about that? Besides... your wifeâs due date is still two days away."
Tang Xinghuai glared at Li Yifeiâs ward, grinding his teeth, "Unacceptable, I want this room. Even if I have to fight for it, Iâm going to take this room."
The head nurse was really at a loss with Tang Xinghuai acting like this. He was just being too arrogant, more so than even the wealthiest people in the city.
What the head nurse didnât know was that there was an ulterior motive behind Tang Xinghuaiâs actions.
Tang Xinghuaiâs behaviour was actually aimed at Chu Xiaoyao. He had once done business with her father before he had made his fortune but was cheated by him, which bred deep-seated hatred in him towards Chu Xiaoyaoâs father and an urge to find an opportunity for revenge. However, by the time Tang Xinghuai had made it big and was ready to settle scores with Chu Xiaoyaoâs father, the man had died.
This had been a huge disappointment to Tang Xinghuai. He had gradually put the past behind him, but seeing Chu Xiaoyao today, he immediately recognized her and was thrilled. Since he could no longer take revenge on Chu Xiaoyaoâs parents, he wanted to make this young girl suffer, whether by playing her or by tormenting her, as this would excite him.
He was adamant about driving out the mothers in the ward today and fighting for the room to make Chu Xiaoyao remember him. He wanted to see her frustrated and helpless, which would be a pleasure for him.
I have to say that Tang Xinghuai is a very twisted man, to actually do such a thing because of Chu Xiaoyao. Itâs really hard for most people to understand.
"You donât need to worry about it, Iâll handle this myself," Tang Xinghuai said to the head nurse before he turned and strode away.
Li Yifei entered the room with a smile already on his face and said, "Itâs all good now."
Chu Xiaoyao still indignantly said, "Uncle, youâre too easygoing. You should have thrown that guy out just now."
Su Yiyi tugged at Chu Xiaoyao and chided, "How can you do that? You canât just hit people. Besides, today Brother Liâs daughter was born. On such a celebratory day, how could we get into a fight?"
Li Yifei walked over to the bed and leaned down to look at his daughter, saying with a smile, "Exactly. My precious little girl has just been born. If I, as a father, were to get into a fight, wouldnât I be setting a bad example for her? Has she eaten enough?"
Ye Yunzhu turned on her side, looking at her baby daughter, and said, "Yeah, sheâs really well-behaved. She fell asleep after eating."
As soon as the child was mentioned, everyone gathered around and stopped talking about that scoundrel.
"Yunzhu, youâre so lucky. When I had my child, no one took care of me like this," Ning Xinâer said with a hint of sourness.
Ye Yunzhu smiled and replied, "I only have this one opportunity in my life, Iâll never have the chance to have another child, but you still can. You can have another one, and let Yifei take care of you just like this. Wouldnât that be nice?"
Ning Xinâer immediately glanced at Li Yifei and said, "Iâd like to, but Iâm afraid someone might not agree."
Li Yifei laughed and said, "If you want to have a child, then letâs have one. The Li family has a big business, and of course, the more children, the better. One more isnât enough; you should have ten or eight."
Ning Xinâer snorted in mock annoyance, "Do you think Iâm a sow?" but inside, she was delighted.
Chu Xiaoyao hugged Ning Xinâerâs arm and laughed, "If there were such beautiful sows, then wouldnât I be worse off than a sow?"
Ning Xinâer laughed out loud and said, "But you canât have that many. Wouldnât that mean I wouldnât be able to do anything else but have babies?"
Ye Yunzhu chuckled softly and said, "Youâre the one who wants to have a baby, and youâre the one who doesnât. Arenât you making things difficult for our husband?"
After chatting for a while, Chu Xiaoyao rubbed her belly and said, "Iâm hungry, Uncle. We need to eat something. Especially Sister Yunzhu, if you donât replenish her nutrients, how can she have enough breast milk?"
Li Yifei cried out in dismay, getting so caught up in excitement that he had forgotten this most important matter.
Ning Xinâer quickly said, "After just giving birth, she shouldnât eat anything too greasy. Letâs give Yunzhu some millet porridge and a few boiled eggs for lunch today. Tonight, weâll make her some bone soup and fish soup that are good for milk production."
Li Yifei promptly said, "Iâll go buy it now."
Saying this, Li Yifei ran out, very keen on doing things personally when it came to taking care of Ye Yunzhu. This gave him a sense of being a father, happy to do more for Ye Yunzhu and their newborn.
Although the hospital provided food service, Li Yifei felt that their preparation was simply not good enough, so he went to a nearby restaurant to order some millet porridge and personally supervised the chefs on how to make it.
Normally, big restaurants wouldnât allow this, but Li Yifei was generous with his money, so of course, the restaurant didnât have much to say.
Li Yifei not only made some millet porridge and boiled a few eggs, but also prepared a few side dishes and packed up a few servings of rice since both Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xinâer, as well as the rest, needed to eat.
After more than an hour, when he had finished all this and was just about to pack up, his phone rang. It was a call from Ning Xinâer. He answered it quickly.
"Yifei, you need to come back quickly. A group of people are blocking the hospital room door, and Xiaoyao has already started arguing with them."
Upon hearing this, Li Yifei hurriedly grabbed the two bags and rushed back to the hospital. It must be that guy from earlier who had sent people over. He hadnât wanted to cause trouble today, but since that bastard dared to do so, he couldnât let this scum off the hook.
