On the way.

Lu Xuan's smile never left his face.

For Lu Xuan, who just graduated, twenty thousand yuan is a huge sum.

Equivalent to several months' salary.

The salary from the Health Center might be decent, but after deducting the five types of insurance and one fund, there's hardly anything left. Plus, the base for paying the five types of insurance and one fund is quite high, leaving even less in his hands.

This twenty thousand yuan equals three to four months' salary for him.

Even when he arrived at the place to have breakfast with Ji Xiuwen, the smile on Lu Xuan's face remained.

Making Ji Xiuwen look puzzled: "What's up? You're so happy, why?"

"The money from the Flying Knife at the Ninth Hospital has arrived." Lu Xuan grinned.

"But isn't the acupuncture not finished yet? How come they sent the money this early?"

The fee for the Flying Knife, if it's from a very famous expert, it's usual to pay in advance. But Lu Xuan is just a doctor from the Health Center, and even though his medical skills are high, making him quite famous among other doctors at the Ninth Hospital, in the end, he's still too young and not famous enough for the criteria to pay in advance.

Generally, it usually takes until the patient settles the fees and gets discharged for this money to be credited to the card.

It's rare to see cases like Lu Xuan's where the treatment isn't finished, or even halfway, yet the Flying Knife money is already settled.

"Maybe they thought it was dragging on too long. After all, acupuncture takes at least a week and sometimes up to half a month to show effects." Lu Xuan wasn't sure why, but he didn't bother to think about it since the Ninth Hospital had already sent the money.

The money is in hand, that's a fact.

"Director Ye is generous, just mentioned it yesterday, and today the money has already been transferred." Ji Xiuwen exclaimed.

Some big hospitals, it's already good if they don't delay, and you are thankful if they pay on time. It's rare to see a hospital like the Ninth Hospital paying the Flying Knife fee in advance.

"By the way, how much did the Ninth Hospital pay?"

Ji Xiuwen looked curious: "Is it a serious amount?"

"Guess."

"It must be, right? After all, you didn't just treat one patient. If they only give you two thousand yuan, the Ninth Hospital would be too stingy. With so many patients, giving less than a sizable amount would be caddish."

Even though he said so, Ji Xiuwen wasn't entirely sure. He believed it should be a serious amount, but who knows what the Ninth Hospital thinks?

However, looking at Lu Xuan's happy face, the serious amount shouldn't be a problem.

"How much?"

Ji Xiuwen gave Lu Xuan a curious look.

Lu Xuan sat down and held up two fingers to Ji Xiuwen.

"Two thousand?"

Ji Xiuwen immediately stood up: "The Ninth Hospital is too stingy, giving just two thousand with so many patients, and you're so happy. What's there to be happy about, Lu Xuan? Are you stupid? You treated so many patients for them. They've made a lot; at least leave you some soup. Forget soup; they didn't even let you lick the chopsticks after they ate the meat.

These large hospitals are really shady! I'm telling you, the Ninth Hospital is taking advantage of you not being a chief physician and having little fame.

Screw them, don't go tonight, what's the point? Those patients already know you have a clinic at the Health Center. If you don't go, they'll naturally come to you."

"When did I say it's only two thousand?"

Lu Xuan said, irritated: "The Ninth Hospital was quite fair this time; they directly gave..."

"Twenty thousand."

Lu Xuan said quietly.

"Twenty thousand?"

Ji Xiuwen doubted his ears.

"Yeah."

"Damn."

Without saying another word, Ji Xiuwen called out to the owner: "Owner, another basket of steamed dumplings, please."

After shouting, he turned to Lu Xuan: "I'm going to indulge today, it's so depressing. My half-year salary at the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is only about that much, less than ten thousand in savings, and I still depend on my parents for rent.

Just now I thought the Ninth Hospital gave too little, now I feel it's too much."

Lu Xuan ignored him, continuing to eat the steamed dumplings and drink soy milk leisurely.

Ji Xiuwen seemed very affected: "I'm such a fool, seeing you smile so happily and still asking so many questions. The money is sent, and I asked so precisely, for what?"

Then he looked at Lu Xuan with a face full of gloom.

Lu Xuan directly stuffed a piece of fried dough stick into his mouth: "You can't even keep your mouth shut while eating."

"Mmm, mmm..."

After finishing breakfast, Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to Lu Xuan: "The first time, and already got a twenty thousand Flying Knife fee, impressive!"

Lu Xuan nodded: "I was surprised as well. Actually, my initial thought was like yours, guessing it would be a serious amount, but I never expected the Ninth Hospital would directly give twenty thousand. It seems they're paying per head."

"Per head?"

"Yeah."

Ji Xiuwen thought for a moment: "That's not right; even if they're paying per head, there should only be eight people. It shouldn't be sixteen thousand, right?"

"On the first night I went there, I came back late, just as several patients with carbon monoxide poisoning were admitted to the emergency department. Since the emergency department was short-staffed, I helped save two patients. Maybe those two were included as well." Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said.

"You even helped in the emergency department?"

Ji Xiuwen gaped: "Now it makes sense, two thousand per person, twenty thousand for ten people, that's pretty good. Although you have to go every night, getting twenty thousand at once is quite an income."

"That's right, otherwise, I wouldn't be this happy."

"I never expected that among the graduates of our class, you would be the first to thrive. Though you're still at the Health Center now, becoming a chief physician at a big hospital is only a matter of time." Ji Xiuwen looked at his old classmate with envy.
