God-Tier Like System

Chapter 170 Swift Action

Upon hearing that, Christopher had an odd look on his face while staring at Harold. With a pout, he declined, “I’m too busy.” Harold quickly waved his hand to dismiss his concern. “It’s alright, Divine Doctor Yard. You don’t have to do anything. As long as you’re willing to take on the position, you’ll be paid a salary, and you’ll be able to use all of the facilities in the hospital as you wish. Free of charge.” All the while, Harold was smiling apologetically. He had his own agenda by bringing that up. Because he owned the hospital, he could earn a lot. Therefore, he didn’t care if he had to pay Christopher a salary or supply him with resources in the hospital. All he cared for was Christopher’s medical skills. As long as Christopher was willing to accept the offer, he could easily have Christopher treat his illness, which was a life or death matter. No other big shots would be able to hire him. After all, one could only enjoy life if one lived. Without life, everything else would be meaningless. It was also why he was willing to eat those disgusting things—for the sake of prolonging his lifespan. Besides, Christopher was indeed qualified to hold the position. No doctor who he hired in the hospital was able to treat him, but Christopher managed to do that. That was enough to distinguish him from the rest of the doctors. Meanwhile, Scarlett and Madilyn exchanged glances with an odd look in their eyes. However, neither commented on what had transpired despite their curiosity regarding the reason behind Harold’s treatment of Christopher. After some thought, Christopher got a grasp on Harold’s thought process. With a nod, he agreed to the proposal. “Alright. Since your hospital is rather well equipped, I will take your offer. Do you have any insignia to mark my identity? What if other people don’t believe me?” Taking on the position as dean meant that he would have a monthly salary, as well as be able to make full use of the hospital’s resources. If he was hospitalized, he would stay in the VIP ward, which would come with a lot of added benefits. Other than that, Harold was being nice about it, so he saw no reason to turn down his offer. Harold was overjoyed when Christopher agreed with his proposal. “Don’t you worry. I will provide you with an ID tag, and your data will be keyed into the system. All you need to do is take a photo in the hospital.” Christopher nodded at that. Management duties in private hospitals were often relegated to general managers, so the position of dean was often just a title. If that title didn’t come with responsibilities, Christopher figured he should consider the offer. If the other doctors could read his mind, they would most probably be furious at him for having the audacity to make someone beg him to take the position without any intent to actually take on any responsibilities. Moreover, he would be fully paid. However, that was just how arrogant Christopher was. Yeah, keep begging me. Beg me and I’ll agree to be your hospital’s dean. Despite that, he still managed to secure the position as the hospital’s dean. “In order to avoid confusion, I will call for a meeting to send your photo to every employee. With that, they should be able to recognize you as the hospital’s dean. The previous dean is a capable employee, and he’s now the general manager of the hospital after I chased Cameron away. I’ll make sure that he obeys your orders.” Harold updated Christopher on the situation after he settled all the necessary administrative processes. Satisfied with Harold’s words, Christopher nodded without objecting to it. On the other hand, Madilyn’s father had to spend some time recuperating after the operation. In order to ensure that everything was okay, Christopher checked on him personally. After making sure that there were no problems, he nodded. Christopher’s acknowledgment gladdened Harold. Just when Christopher was about to leave, Harold grabbed on to him before asking awkwardly, “Divine Doctor Yard, do you remember the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup that sold for five million?” As soon as Scarlett and Madilyn heard that, shock crept onto their faces, and they covered their mouths. The price soared to five million in an instant! This is shocking! Christopher looked at Harold with disdain. “I remember that. I wouldn’t have sold the soup if I knew you were the one buying it.” The expression on Harold’s face got even more awkward, which he covered up with a flattering smile. “Divine Doctor Yard, I wasn’t the one who needed the soup actually. An old man asked me to buy it as a favor,” he whispered. Upon noticing the skeptical look on Christopher’s face, Harold relayed everything in resignation. “That old man’s name is Andy Dune. He has a lot of lovers, so he’s very busy. He also has a company called Dune Enterprise under his name. He is of similar status to me.” Initially, Christopher was indifferent to the information, but he was startled by Harold’s revelation. Someone who is on par in status to Harold sounds like someone formidable. After all, Harold is an influential figure in Brentwood City. Christopher caught on to the implications of Harold’s words immediately. With a faint smile, he turned to face Harold. “I suppose he wants another portion of the soup, and maybe, you as well?”Harold was delighted to see the smile on Christopher’s face. “Yes, you’re right! You catch on to things quickly, Divine Doctor! Both Andy and I would like a portion of that.” Christopher didn’t show much of a reaction to that. After all, five million no longer held much allure to him, for it was only either as expensive as a Ferrari 458 Italia or worth 50,000 Thumbs-Up points. “Tell his men to place an order at The Serenade. I don’t do personal deliveries,” Christopher commented. “Of course. By the way, Andy also likes bumping shoulders with powerful people. After catching wind of your prowess in both medicine and culinary arts, he would like to meet you. He’s willing to pay you two million if you’re willing to go,” Harold added, after which he checked on Christopher carefully. Upon hearing that, Christopher was taken aback. Judging from what Harold told me, Andy sure seems to hold me in high regard. It’s unthinkable that he would offer me two million just to meet me. Although Christopher was originally planning to turn down the offer, he realized it might be a great opportunity to expand the chain restaurant business. Getting to know someone as prestigious as Andy had to be beneficial. When he reached that conclusion, he nodded. “Since that is the case, I will go meet him. I would also like to know someone of his magnitude in person.”A smile bloomed on Harold’s face as soon as he heard that. “Andy’s car has just arrived at the hospital. He would like to invite you to meet up at Marriott Hotel, which is located right next to Crest Hospital.” Christopher was startled by the information. Andy Dune, huh? He sure acts fast!
