Chapter 121 Industry Collusion Blocks Doorway and Provokes
I. Returning to the Medical Center after the Grand Event
The top-of-the-line BMW slowly slowed down, its tires gently rubbing the road surface, and came to a smooth and steady stop in front of the street-facing clinic.
Chen Shanhe placed his fingertips on the car door handle, gently pushed open the car door, and stepped calmly onto the ground with a steady and upright posture.
Su Wanjing followed closely behind him as he got out of the car, her eyes gentle and kind, and she gently brushed away the dust that had accumulated on her clothes.
Murong Fangxiang quickly walked around to the front of the car, looked up at the familiar clinic entrance, and had a relaxed and carefree expression on her face.
The four of them had just steadied themselves when they looked up at each other, and their expressions instantly changed slightly.
At the main entrance of the clinic, a large group of doctors from all over the country were gathered.
Behind them followed a group of idle accomplices, each with their hands on their hips and their bodies tense, blocking the door tightly.
The entrance and exit were completely blocked off, leaving not a single gap, and the air at the entrance instantly became oppressive and tense.
Zhou Deshan stood ramrod straight, his arms tightly crossed in front of the clinic, his face solemn and dignified.
Xu Jingming stood to the side, his fists clenched tightly at his sides, his brows furrowed in a deep frown.
The two stood side by side, firmly guarding the inside of the clinic's threshold, their gazes cold and sharp, fixed on the group of people entering outside.
With every muscle tense and on guard, not daring to relax for a moment, the two sides faced each other in pairs, and a silent standoff instantly filled the entire arena.
The group of doctors causing trouble all had grim and gloomy faces, their faces full of hostility, and their eyes revealed a fierce glint.
Everyone's chest heaved violently, their eyes fixed on Chen Shanhe, who had just returned, as they suppressed their barely contained rage.
This group of people had long since secretly colluded and gathered their forces early on, waiting specifically for Chen Shanhe and his companions to return.
They were just waiting for the protagonist to appear and cause trouble on the spot. The resentment and jealousy that had been building up for days were about to explode completely.
As evidenced by the poem
As dusk settles after the grand event,
Unexpectedly, trouble arose at the door.
Jealousy among peers breeds malice.
They blocked the door, provoked trouble, and started a fight.
Second, jealousy and hatred can cut off one's source of income.
The old doctor leading the group took a heavy step forward, his long robe suddenly trembling, his face filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Chen Shanhe! What are you really up to by opening this clinic for ordinary people?!"
A middle-aged doctor next to him immediately stepped forward, his jaw clenched tightly, his face contorted with resentment.
His chest heaved as he glared and began to loudly accuse.
"For years, all the clinics and pharmacies in our provincial capital have adhered to the old ways of making money through medicine! You, however, have gone against the grain and ruined the entire industry!"
Another elderly man, his face gloomy and cold, his eyes swirling with intense jealousy and resentment, spoke in a deep, indignant voice, making a continuous accusation.
"When poor people come to you for treatment, you refuse to charge them a single penny for the consultation, and you only charge ordinary families a small amount to cover the cost of the medicine! But when wealthy and powerful people come to you for treatment, you charge them exorbitant fees, and then you take all that money to help the poor and needy!"
The group of doctors surrounding the station instantly erupted into chaos, each one spouting their own opinions, their emotions growing increasingly agitated and volatile, every word dripping with venomous anger.
"By setting such arbitrary prices and practicing medicine, you've completely robbed the entire city of its patients!"
"Our pharmacies and clinics are now deserted every day; not a single patient comes in to pick up medicine or seek medical advice from morning till night!"
"You've completely cut off our livelihood, the stable way we used to support our families. Are you expecting our whole family to starve?"
This group of people has been making easy money for years by raising drug prices and exorbitant consultation fees, and by exploiting the people's hard-earned money.
Ever since Chen Shanhe opened his clinic for ordinary people, practicing medicine with conscience and benefiting the masses, their business has plummeted, with revenue experiencing a precipitous drop.
The group had secretly conspired and colluded, gathering their idle members to come here today specifically to cause trouble, determined to force Chen Shanhe to change his steadfast medical practice rules.
As evidenced by the poem
Driven by greed, evil intentions arise.
Envious of skilled doctors, they poach businessmen.
Instead of reflecting on their own faults, they greedily pursued exorbitant profits.
I only regret that others remain gentle and kind.
III. Tensions Rise and Stalls
As Zhou Deshan listened to the group of people spouting their unreasonable and sophistry, he immediately stepped forward, his gaze cold and sharp.
His expression was righteous and awe-inspiring, his words resounding and forceful as he launched a direct counterattack.
"My master practices medicine to save lives, upholds his principles regardless of wealth, acts with integrity and uprightness, and has never acted with a guilty conscience!"
"It's difficult and expensive for ordinary people to see a doctor. Many ordinary families have their savings wiped out and their entire fortunes ruined by a single serious illness! My master practices medicine with a clear conscience to help the poor, and from beginning to end, he has not made a single mistake!"
Xu Jingming followed closely behind and immediately spoke up to echo and refute, his back ramrod straight and his eyes neither humble nor arrogant.
He stared directly at the group of troublemaking doctors before him, his tone upright and unyielding.
"You have long controlled the medical practice in the provincial capital, inflating drug prices at every level and relentlessly squeezing the hard-earned money of ordinary people! Now that your own business is sluggish and depressed, instead of looking for the reasons in your own unscrupulous management, you come to our door to cause trouble and provoke us unreasonably. This is truly unreasonable!"
The group of troublemaking doctors were refuted by the two men's blunt words and were instantly rendered speechless, their faces turning bright red.
The pent-up anger surged even more intensely, and some people clenched their fists tightly, stomped their feet hard on the ground, and shouted angrily.
People in the crowd started pushing and shoving each other, shouting and cursing, and the scene became increasingly chaotic and out of control.
Seeing the argument between the two sides escalating, Su Wanjing felt a growing sense of worry and quietly walked to Chen Shanhe's side.
Her slender hands unconsciously gripped Chen Shanhe's sleeve tightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked up at the person beside her quietly, her eyes filled with unease and concern.
Murong Fangxiang's usual cheerful smile vanished completely, her expression instantly turning cold. She coldly and quietly observed this group of narrow-minded, profit-driven troublemakers, seeing everything clearly in their hearts.
Neither side would back down, and the atmosphere in front of the clinic was tense and deadlocked, with neither side willing to give an inch.
As evidenced by the poem
The two sides are locked in a stalemate and neither is willing to back down.
Anger raged and engulfed the neighborhood.
The stalemate is at its most intense and neither side is willing to back down.
It can easily disrupt the atmosphere.
IV. Conflict Erupts and Storms Unfold
Chen Shanhe stood quietly in the center of the crowd, his expression calm and composed, showing neither anger nor annoyance throughout.
He glanced indifferently at the group of angry, unreasonable troublemakers in front of him, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
Despite the incessant shouting, accusations, and clamor around him, he remained firmly rooted to the spot, silent and observing the changing situation.
Seeing that he remained silent and indifferent, the old doctor in the lead became even more furious and stepped forward to shout at him.
"Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb! Today you must give an explanation to all our fellow medical practitioners in the city in public!"
"Immediately change your medical practices that discriminate between the rich and the poor. You are forbidden from selling medicine at low prices, and you are absolutely forbidden from providing free medical consultations to the poor!"
"If you don't comply today, we will not let this go unpunished. We will block the clinic entrance every day, ensuring you can never open for business normally!"
The harsh and arrogant shouts echoed continuously at the street corner, each word a coercive and unreasonable demand, each sentence carrying an aggressive malice.
All the grudges, resentments, jealousy, and estrangement that had accumulated over time were laid bare before everyone at this moment.
The long-suppressed contradictions finally broke through the critical point, and a fierce conflict suddenly erupted, instantly stirring up the whole city.
Chen Shanhe slowly raised his eyes, his gaze clear and bright, his heart calm and composed, and he still did not utter a single word of argument.
The current offline standoff and stalemate, with people in turmoil, cannot be easily resolved or cleared up with just a few words.
This dispute, fueled by human greed and industry self-interest, has only just begun. The ensuing entanglements, turmoil, and unforeseen events are about to unfold.
As evidenced by the poem
Unquenchable greed breeds trouble.
Disputes suddenly arise, disturbing the mortal world.
Undeterred by storms and waves,
Wait patiently for the clouds to part and reveal the true nature of things.
