Chapter 580: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony! Huge Prosperity!
Everyone in the clinic, regardless of their age and gender, stood up when they heard Ling Yun announce that he was going to open the clinic. The beautiful women came out of hiding and gathered around Ling Yun.
Of course, the ones who got the sweet spots were the younger women — Bai Xianer, Xue Meining, Yao Rou, and Zhang Ling. The rest of the women wanted to do the same, but it was too embarrassing. They, therefore, stood far away, looking at the focus of everyone today with tenderness in their eyes.
Miracle Doctor Xue walked over to Ling Yun from the crowd. He gave a benevolent smile and said, "Let's go and cut the ribbon!"
"Yes! Big Brother Yun's clinic is finally opening!" Xue Meining cheered and hugged Ling Yun's arm tightly. Excitement was written all over her face.
She cared nothing about the jealous gazes she got.
Ling Yun wouldn't refuse whoever hugged his arm. However, it did seem like other than Xue Meining and Bai Xianer, the rest had to stand aside.
Lin Menghan and Yao Rou didn't dare, while Miao Xiaomiao couldn't even do that.
Ning Lingyu and Long Wu would definitely dare to hug him if they were on the second floor, they might even be faster than Xue Meining. However, they were now up to their necks in congratulatory gifts!
The important people began to head downstairs in order. Every one of them had a strong aura that awed the ordinary people below.
Ling Yun was the last one to arrive. He had Xue Meining on his left and Bai Xianer on his right. He chose to ignore the complex gaze Zhuang Meina gave him as he went down the stairs.
The second floor was empty in no time. He basked in the gazes of envy he received with Xue Meining and Bai Xianer by his side.
Everyone seemed to be in their respective places. They must have discussed who would do the honors for the ribbon cutting ceremony on the second floor.
A space right in the middle was left deliberately for Ling Yun.
There was Qin Dongxue, Miracle Doctor Xue, Li Yifeng, Lin Zhenggang, Tang Tianhao, Xue Chengye and his wife, Zhuang Tiande and his wife... It was a long row of people.
Zhuang Tiande did right in coming. He was the richest man in Qingshui City after all. Miracle Doctor Xue and Qin Dongxue did seek Ling Yun's opinion on whether or not they should let Zhuang Tiande cut the ribbon as well through telepathy. Ling Yun agreed.
It wasn't possible for him not to agree. Zhuang Tiande was Zhuang Meifeng's father. He wouldn't make him lose face on such a small matter.
However, these people weren't enough.
Ling Yun gave it some thought and asked Ning Lingyu, Long Wu, and Lin Menghan to come over.
One of them was his younger sister, one of them was his fiancée from birth, and the other was the one he already had a physical relationship with.
He pondered again and asked Xue Meining and Yao Rou over, having them stand at two sides.
The people in front of her were prominent people, so Yao Rou felt inferior, thinking that it wasn't her place to do so. Ling Yun smiled and even used the Mystical Dragon Howl over the audience. "You should come over!"
That was why Ling Yun was so charming to women. He would do what he thought was right without giving a sh*t about the occasion, identity, or appropriateness.
Domineering!
Ling Yun called out to Bai Xianer and Kong Xiuru, but they flatly refused. Bai Xianer didn't like to mix and participate in the practices of the mortal world anyway. Kong Xiuru was elated, but she was determined not to join him in the limelight.
Miao Xiaomiao didn't even come and would, therefore, not be able to cut the ribbon.
Ling Yun wasn't satisfied yet. He wondered if he should get Liang Fengyi and Zhang Ling to join them. However, Qin Dongxue berated him with telepathy, "Ling Yun, are you done yet? Everyone is standing here waiting for you! Are we some exhibition?"
The other people could bend to Ling Yun's whims but not Qin Dongxue, she had to control him when there was a need to.
"Soon!"
There was one more. Ling Yun walked to the corner and brought the normally dressed Cui Lao over personally. He even got him to stand beside him.
Ling Yun had a strong feeling that Cui Lao must have some deep affinity and relationship with him, as he was especially good to him. Thus, he had to return the favor.
"Young... Young chap, you don't need to care about a normal old man like me. This isn't appropriate..."
Cui Lao was deeply moved. He didn't think that Ling Yun would remember him and "force" him into the limelight with the strange gazes he was getting.
Everybody except for Qin Dongxue, Miracle Doctor Xue, and Long Tianjiao was baffled. Why was this normal-looking old man so important to Ling Yun?
"Young chap, I won't stand beside you, I'll just be behind you..."
Cui Lao was certainly unable to compare with Ling Yun when it came to sheer strength. He came to the middle as Ling Yun wanted but insisted on standing behind him.
Ling Yun had no choice but to relent. "Alright!"
Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu should also be cutting the ribbon, but they were too busy now to think about it.
"Oh my god, this ribbon cutting ceremony is simply too cool!"
The five nouveau riches were opposite the Ordinary People's Clinic. They couldn't hide their amazement at the members of the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Anyone would think that this was some sort of relocation of the city government building if there wasn't a sign hanging outside of the clinic!
A very long ribbon was set up, and several people in bright redcheongsams1came up with scissors for those who were cutting the ribbon.
Next, Provincial Party Secretary Li Yifeng said a few simple words before Miracle Doctor Xue announced the opening with a giant smile on his face.
"Wishing Ling Yun's Ordinary People's Clinic huge prosperity!"
Firecrackers exploded in a deafening roar! The long ribbon was cut into many pieces at the same time, followed by a huge round of applause!
"Pilipala..." A dozen hanging firecrackers were ignited at the same time! The scene was simply awe-inspiring!
Ling Yun's Ordinary People's Clinic was finally open with everyone's blessings!
"Congratulations..."
"Congratulations, I hope you'll have great prosperity..."
"All the best..."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Everyone came over and congratulated Ling Yun, praising him with all sorts of nice words.
"This is unreal, really unreal..."
Li Jinlian stood far away in a corner in shock. That sentence had been repeated for the umpteen time by her today!
"Who are we working for? Ling Yun is so incredible, so why did he open such a small clinic? I don't understand..."
Shang Xiaomeng was scratching her head. She didn't understand it either.
"Hmph, his background must be very good if so many prominent people are here. Now I believe he can afford our salaries. However, I will not stay here if he doesn't have good medical skills!"
Sun Yujiao seemed to have been hit hard today as well, but she tried her best to remain proud and aloof.
There was no telling if that was really what was in her mind.
These three nurses might have their doubts, but not the rest of the women. Every single one of them was blessing Ling Yun with all of their hearts.
Ling Yun was really in the limelight today.
He initially wanted to have a low-key opening, but he didn't know that it would explode to this scale.
He had done nothing but receive the most important guests for over an hour!
"Big Brother, you are so awesome!" Ning Lingyu said with infatuation.
Ling Yun patted Ning Lingyu's head gently. "This is just the opening, what is there to be awesome about?"
"You are awesome, I don't care!" Ning Lingyu insisted.
"Hehe, perhaps just a teeny bit..." Ling Yun had no choice but to agree.
His words made all of his women laugh. No one was jealous of Ning Lingyu.
"Ling Yun, come in! Several of us elders have prepared some gifts for you to celebrate the opening of your clinic..."
Ling Yun was trying very hard to hang the red silk onto Ning Lingyu's neck when Miracle Doctor Xue's voice beckoned him.
The people in the crowd were in high spirits now, making it the best time to present gifts.
Miracle Doctor Xue was the most senior, so this had to be spoken by him.
Of course, it wasn't to show off, it was to show their real support!
"Didn't we just end the opening of the business? Why are there still gifts?"
Ling Yun was stunned. He had received two drawers full of red packets and gift money. Why was there more?
"Big Brother Yun, go in quickly!" Xue Meining giggled, seemingly more excited than Ling Yun. She hugged Ling Yun's arms again and pulled him back into the clinic!
"Wow, let's see what these prominent people are going to give Ling Yun!"
"Yes, yes, let's go and see what there is!"
"Secretary Li has yet to leave. Could he have a gift for Ling Yun as well?"
"I'm more curious about what the richest man in Qingshui City will give..."
"The main event is coming up! So exciting!"
Ling Yun scratched his head as he listened to the gossipers. He was then pushed into the clinic by Ning Lingyu, Xue Meining, and the rest of his women.
