Chapter 578: Arrival of the Most Powerful Man in Qingshui City!

"Congratulations!"

"I am opening a very, very small clinic. I didn't think it was enough to have Mr. Long visit us. I'm honored beyond words..."

Ling Yun's lips curled up, mincing his meaning with his words.

Ling Yun's defense against Long Tianjiao heightened the more Long Tianjiao tried to be intimate with him. He understood that it meant that Long Tianjiao wanted something from him.

Moreover, Ling Yun technically snatched Long Tianjiao's woman away from him and made him a cuckold. He even gave him a good beating. Yet he was here now, smiling away as though nothing had happened.

Long Tianjiao seemed to be oblivious to Ling Yun's lukewarm attitude towards him. He continued to introduce the people who came with him enthusiastically.

"This is Director Yu Kangping, the General Manager of China National Petroleum Company, Qingshui Branch..."

"This is Director Duan Dehai, the Chairman of China Mobile's Qingshui Branch Office..."

"He is from the Construction Bank..."

Every one of them belonged to the highest social strata of Qingshui City. Common folks had absolutely no access to them.

However, they had to wait to be introduced by Long Tianjiao to Ling Yun even though the scorching sun was shining on them in this chaotic environment.

Ling Yun nodded respectfully as Long Tianjiao introduced them. He introduced himself simply after Long Tianjiao was done. "Ling Yun, the medical doctor and director of the Ordinary People's Clinic."

Ling Yun didn't shake hands with them. He was too lazy to even give them a hold fist salute. "Thank you for gracing the occasion. My apologies, however, that you'll have to stand outside. My clinic is too small, and you have arrived too late, it's flooded with people inside..." Ling Yun said sheepishly.

There existed no superior being in Ling Yun's eyes. Everyone was of the same standing. He wouldn't be bothered even if they were God.

Power could be stripped from the powerful anytime. The only thing that belonged to himself was his strength.

He was too darn cocky to not let them inside in such hot weather!

Yu Kangping, Duan Dehai, and the rest of their faces showed visible signs of anger. They didn't show it only because Long Tianjiao was present.

Long Tianjiao didn't think that Ling Yun would be so cocky either. His mouth twitched, but he swallowed it down eventually. He had a family mission on hand!

Not only could he not get angry, but he had to continue pleasing Ling Yun.

"Ahem Ahem... It's alright. The ribbon cutting ceremony will start soon. This place is the best spot to see it. It is also more spacious outside..."

Long Tianjiao seemed to be talking and agreeing with himself.

"Mr. Long, your information is so accurate. You even know when we are holding the ribbon cutting ceremony..." Ling Yun suddenly pointed out.

Long Tianjiao was caught off guard. "How can I not know when so many people know about it? That would be too disrespectful to Brother Ling." Long Tianjiao managed to cover up.

Long Tianjiao was the deputy leader of the Huaxia Condor Team. He did nothing but gather information about Ling Yun. He wouldn't be worthy of being the deputy leader if he couldn't even obtain this information.

...

The road diagonally opposite the clinic.

"Those that just went in were the richest man in Qingshui City, Zhuang Tiande, and his family. I didn't expect him to be interested in such a small clinic..."

The five nouveau riches were glued to the entrance of the Ordinary People's Clinic. The shade from the tree had shifted, exposing them to the hot sun. None of them noticed.

"Oh my, that's... Director Duan from China Mobile!"

"F*ck, Director Yu from China National Petroleum Company! Why are they here?"

"Sh*t, who is that young guy beside them? Why is he so powerful and able to gather these powerhouses here to congratulate Big Brother Yun?"

The five nouveau riches couldn't believe their eyes.

These people were busy on both the business front and the political front all day. It was difficult to get even one of them. However, all of them were gathered here today to support that young guy!

Moreover, that young guy was also here to congratulate Ling Yun. He seemed desperate to get into Ling Yun's good books. Ling Yun continued to be lukewarm to him, he didn't even seem to be inviting them in!

Big Brother Yun was simply impressive!

The five nouveau riches were now fully in awe of Ling Yun. They were thinking about how to get Tang Meng to help them get another chance with Ling Yun.

"Look, that is the city committee's car! Oh my god, it has the plate number one! Uncle Li came personally!"

Haozi's eyes were sharp. He could see Li Yifeng's car from a distance away.

"Public Security Bureau's car. Uncle Tang's car is here too!"

Brother Fei was pointing to a police car not far away, exclaiming as though he made some new discovery.

"Fifteen more minutes to the ribbon cutting ceremony..." Abing checked his wristwatch and said excitedly.

Dandan had since put away his mobile away. He studied the people in the Ordinary People's Clinic. "Hey, who do you think will be cutting the ribbon?" he asked curiously.

Brother Fei turned and rolled his eyes at him. "Is there a need to ask? Miracle Doctor Xue, that military man, Uncle Li, Uncle Tang, and the richest man in Qingshui City, Zhuang Tiande. They won't be missing from this!"

"Yes, yes, there will definitely be the three beauties who arrived at the start..." Chick nodded hungrily.

He really knew how to rub someone's nose in it. He attracted insults and anger from the other four once the words left his mouth.

"F*ck you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be melting away under the hot sun now. I would be receiving those big shots. That's f*cking because of you!"

"Yes, why don't you grow some brains? We were chased away because of you, yet you dare bring it up again!"

"Don't tell people that I know you, shameful!" Abing added, half-jokingly.

"And Haozi, you were wrong last night, weren't you!"

"Weren't you scolding Chick? Why are you shooting at me now?" Haozi received some shots as well.

"I don't care about anything else. All the expenses of the Ordinary People's Clinic today will be on both of your tabs," Abing said sternly.

"No problem!"

Chick and Haozi agreed without any hesitation. They felt honored spending money for Ling Yun.

...

"You're here, Uncle Tang?"

Ling Yun went over quickly and greeted Tang Tianhao passionately.

Tang Tianhao's arrival was something Ling Yun expected, so he wasn't surprised.

Tang Tianhao grasped Ling Yun's hand tightly in front of all the watchful gaze. "Come here quick. I'll bring you to see Uncle Li!"

Uncle Li was obviously the most powerful man in Qingshui City, the Provincial Party Secretary, Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao got out of their cars at the same time. However, Ling Yun had never met Li Yifeng and thus didn't recognize him. He didn't know about the car plate either. That was why he greeted Tang Tianhao first.

However, Ling Yun would probably still call out to Tang Tianhao first even if he had known who Li Yifeng was.

The power and authority that everyone wanted were less than a fart in Ling Yun's eyes. He saw people and things with his own principles and measured them by his own standards.

That was only one standard—whether one was pleasing to the eye and their degree of closeness to Ling Yun.

"This is our Qingshui City Provincial Party Secretary and also my good brother, Li Yifeng!"

Tang Tianhao introduced Li Yifeng to Ling Yun in all seriousness.

"Hello, Uncle Li!" Ling Yun beamed his signature smile and gave a half bow.

He addressed him as Uncle Li instead of Secretary Li. That represented his attitude towards Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng very naturally and kindly held Ling Yun's hand. He sized him up and down and smiled slightly. "You are very good yourself. Young and promising!" Many eyes were on Li Yifeng as well, but he was used to such a scene.

"Uncle Li, you speak too highly of me. This is just a very, very small clinic. I feel bad about making Uncle Li come all the way for this..."

"Everything started with a small step. Your clinic might be small, but this is your first step. How can I not come at such an important step?"

Ling Yun and Li Yifeng exchanged words naturally, Ling Yun in a humbling stance and Li Yifeng in a praising stance. That only attracted more attention!

Who didn't recognize Li Yifeng? He appeared in the news every single day!

"Oh my god, even Secretary Li is here personally..." someone commented.

"Yes, I was wondering why so many people came over for the opening of such a small clinic... It seems like they have connections!" Someone finally realized.

"This is huge, it will definitely be the news headline tonight!" someone said agitatedly.

"Sh*t, I gave too little congratulatory money just now. Can I give some more now?" someone said with frustration.

The crowd quickly gathered tightly around Li Yifeng and Ling Yun. All sorts of emotions were running high.

"Oh! Pops and Uncle Li are here!" Tang Meng said excitedly. He was hanging the firecrackers near the ceiling with Tie Xiaohu when he saw the commotion from the top of the staircase.
