Li Jingsheng finished his al in less than six minutes.
Wolfing down his food isn’t healthy, but there’s no alternative; he must be prepared before Manager Hu arrives.
If Hu arrives to find him still eating slowly, the first impression would be terrible.
For those thriving clinics, they never lack pharmaceutical companies and representatives.
Li Jingsheng wouldn’t dare compare with them; his business is disastrously poor. Even he isn’t clueless enough to expect pharmaceutical companies and reps to curry favor with him—how could that be possible?
He prepared all the docunts required for opening a contract account.
Since he had already opened one account before, he was well aware of the required docunts.
After preparing the contract application materials, he carefully reviewed the purchase order again.
Tang Ping had also finished her al by this ti and ca over to help Li Jingsheng verify the docunts.
She always eats slowly and carefully, with elegant manners.
Even in ancient tis, she’d probably be considered a model lady.
The latest model of a white BMW X7 parked outside the clinic.
A scholarly middle-aged man around forty, accompanied by a young man and a young woman with wavy shoulder-length hair, walked straight over after getting out.
Before entering, they glanced up at the signage.
Li Jingsheng observed these three, all dressed like typical corporate elites, with suits, shirts, and leather shoes.
Only the young woman wasn’t wearing a tie, although she had a delicate white blouse under her black blazer. Her earrings were two simple purple pearls hanging naturally on either side.
As she moved, they subtly accentuated her exquisite shoulder-length hair, adding a touch of sophistication.
She held a folder, with a glimpse of a perfectly fitted tal watch on her slender left wrist, and an iPad in her right hand.
The first impression was that this woman was particularly adept at dressing up.
Her deanor was unmistakable.
Just like those corporate secretaries and elite won seen on TV.
The leading middle-aged man had no beer belly, his figure quite well-proportioned.
Faintly visible were his muscle contours.
As he walked, he carried himself with confidence, moving with ease while exuding strong self-assurance. His presence alone was enough to tell he wasn’t an ordinary worker. He must at least be a multi-millionaire entrepreneur.
The young man trailing behind appeared to be under thirty, projecting a shrewd and capable aura, walking with a brisk pace.
His right hand carried a briefcase.
"May I ask, are you Manager Hu?"
Recognizing their attire and deanor, Li Jingsheng instantly understood they were likely the team led by Manager Hu from Best dicine.
"I am Hu Wenjing, the one you spoke with on the phone. I recognized your voice as Boss Li the mont I heard it. I didn’t expect Boss Li to be so young, truly accomplished to open a clinic at such a young age."
The middle-aged man smiled warmly as he quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Li Jingsheng.
During the handshake, Li Jingsheng adopted a humble posture.
He grasped Hu’s right hand with both hands.
"In front of you three, I dare not regard myself as a ’boss.’ Please call Li Jingsheng or Dr. Li! You’ve seen the clinic’s condition; it’s just a small operation. I wonder if it ets your company’s standards?"
Li Jingsheng was particularly candid.
To be honest, he felt a bit self-conscious.
"I see your certifications are complete on the wall; the clinic has several dicine cabinets, a doctor, and a nurse. It’s small but thorough. You’re perfectly eligible to cooperate with our company."
With a casual glance, Manager Hu gave a direct affirmation.
The woman with the folder, after scrutinizing the clinic inside and out, subtly furrowed her brows. Despite remaining silent, it was clear that the clinic hadn’t t her standards.
Hu’s prompt approval seed to surprise her; instinctively, she looked over at Hu.
Unfortunately, Hu paid her no attention, focusing entirely on Li Jingsheng.
She was left to turn her gaze toward the young man with the briefcase.
He nodded slightly to her, signaling her to follow Hu’s lead.
"Don’t just stand there talking; please have a seat!"
Li Jingsheng invited them to sit on the sofa ant for guests.
It’s rely a traditional wooden sofa.
For easier cleaning, the clinic typically avoids using fabric and leather sofas.
tal chairs and wooden sofas are most prevalent.
"So, can I sign a contract and apply for an account with your company?"
Li Jingsheng asked.
"Yes, absolutely."
Manager Hu reaffird.
Tang Ping then brought over two cups of water, carrying only two at a ti, making two trips, and also poured a cup for Li Jingsheng.
She then went to the counter to resu her salesperson role.
She was very savvy, never dabbling in her boss’s procurent or paperwork matters.
So employees don’t know their place, dreaming of becoming the boss after just a few days’ work, incessantly inquiring.
Where the drugs are procured, what’s the purchase price—they can’t stop probing.
Eventually, the boss would likely send them packing.
"Could you let check your ID for verification?"
For caution, Li Jingsheng insisted on verifying the necessary docunts.
Even with considerations of courtesy, failing to clarify certain inquiries, request certain docunts, or verify identities is a common mistake for newbies in society.
There’s nothing embarrassing about it.
Otherwise, his hard-earned savings of more than thirty thousand yuan could be easily swindled, leaving him no place to cry.
Upon hearing Li Jingsheng’s request, Hu and his team were noticeably startled.
Quickly recovering.
"Sure, of course. It’s essential to verify our identity before signing. Here’s my ID, my work pass, and our branch office’s credentials."
Manager Hu handed over his ID and work pass for Li Jingsheng to verify.
Then he signaled the capable young man to take out the copy of the company certificate from the briefcase.
The woman was obviously a bit displeased, but said nothing.
She just looked at Li Jingsheng with a touch of disdain.
Perhaps she thought that such a large pharmaceutical company, with Manager Hu personally visiting to sign a contract with a small clinic lacking proper conditions, yet the other party was suspicious of their identity.
It’s really exasperating.
"The IDs match, to be safe, is it okay if I make copies?"
Li Jingsheng preferred to be cautious first, then courteous.
What needs to be protected must be protected.
Since it was the first ti dealing with these people, he had no idea about their background.
Hu Wenjing’s cheek twitched slightly.
"Sure, being cautious is necessary. No wonder Dr. Li is already a boss at such a young age. Aside from other things, this caution is comndable."
After Manager Hu agreed, he praised Li Jingsheng a couple of tis.
And the woman seed a bit restless.
She stood up and said, "Manager Hu, you chat, I’ll go take pictures of this clinic."
"Go ahead!"
Manager Hu nodded in agreent.
The elite young man then took out the contract from the briefcase, all organized, and handed it to Manager Hu.
After Li Jingsheng copied Manager Hu’s ID and company certificate, he felt much more at ease.
As long as the ID is not fake, even if deceived, he could report it and get it back.
"Dr. Li, here’s the cooperation agreent, have a look, and if there are no issues, we can sign it right here. If you want a lawyer to review it, we can co back tomorrow."
"I’ll just have a casual look, your company is big enough, I trust it."
Li Jingsheng said he trusted them, yet carefully reviewed the agreent after taking it.
The other party didn’t rush him and appeared very patient.
After carefully reviewing, he found no issues.
Next, it was straightforward, Li Jingsheng provided the clinic’s information for their verification.
This task wasn’t done by Manager Hu but rather smoothly handed over to the elite young man.
It was evident that the young man was extrely professional.
And very fast.
After both sides verified their identities without any issues, they signed the contract.
"Manager Hu, the clinic’s signage is a bit simple, headquarters might not approve it!"
The white-collar woman ca in to report after taking pictures.
"It’s fine, write a special approval letter in my na."
The woman nodded to show understanding.
Then she looked at Li Jingsheng with a slightly curious gaze.
Perhaps she wondered what kind of background the small clinic owner had, for Manager Hu to constantly make things easy for him, which was clearly not in line with Manager Hu’s usual strict style.
But rules are dead, while people are alive.
When facing influential people or if the benefits are big enough, anything can be flexible.
"Manager Hu, I’ve finished writing it, please sign."
The woman handed the iPad to Manager Hu.
The latter signed his na in bold strokes, then submitted it.
"By the way, expedite the account opening for him too. The young man is opening a clinic which isn’t easy, he urgently needs to get the goods by eight tomorrow morning, have headquarters prioritize the review."
"But... headquarters might not necessarily listen to us!"
The woman gently reminded.
"You fool, can’t you cut in line? Move Jiupeng Hospital’s application back and let headquarters review Dr. Li’s Sunshine Clinic first."
"Well... okay! I’ll do it imdiately."
The woman’s eyes widened, but faced with Manager Hu’s authoritative gaze, she swallowed all she wanted to say.
That’s the workplace for you.
The boss’s words are practically like royal decrees, just execute them below.
Li Jingsheng had just picked up a cup of water to take a sip, nearly choking on hearing this.
Jiupeng Hospital was one of Jiangli City’s top private hospitals.
Directly moving Jiupeng Hospital back and letting Li Jingsheng’s small clinic cut in line. Manager Hu sure was a ’bold’ character! Going all out to please Li Jingsheng.
Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but be more curious about Xie Guiqiu’s real identity.
Undoubtedly, all Manager Hu’s actions were indirectly trying to flatter Xie Guiqiu.
"Qu Min, make sure to keep a close watch, urge headquarters more. Try to have it approved by five this afternoon, otherwise the order can’t be submitted, and paynt can’t be made, no way to deliver goods by tomorrow morning."
Manager Hu instructed her again.
"Understood!"
This ti she didn’t hesitate much, seemingly sensing Manager Hu’s determination to find a way to help this small clinic get its goods by tomorrow morning.
"Is Dr. Li’s order list ready?"
"It’s ready. Should I print it or send it directly via email?"
Li Jingsheng inquired.
Now everything was done on computers, printed docunts and faxes were mostly obsolete.
Sending electronic docunts over for modifications and direct submission is convenient and quick.
Otherwise, typing in printed docunts one by one, verifying quantities, was ti-consuming and laborious.
"Send it to the email!"
Manager Hu looked towards the elite young man.
"Give Dr. Li the email address, you can also add each other on WeChat. If there’s anything in the future, contact him directly. If he can’t solve it, call ."
