Bound to the Lord Protector
Before long, Daniel tendered his resignation letter and returned home. Then, Zeke left with Daniel to look for a suitable location for the new clinic. However, with Daniel being a doctor for all his life, and Zeke being a soldier for half of his life, they were both laymen in doing business. After looking at all the 'Unit For Sale/ Rent' advertisement on the streets, they were confused. It left Zeke no choice but to call Evan Schneider for his advice. Evan Schneider was a mover and shaker in the industry. Rumour had it that Evan was charging his clients tens of millions to give out his business advice. Furthermore, some clients couldn't even meet him face to face despite the fact that they had paid for the counselling session upfront. Evan picked up the phone in a dignified tone. “Mr. Williams, what brings you to me today?” Zeke spoke, “Evan, my dad would like to start up a cardiology clinic. What location do you think to be the most suitable?” Evan replied, “If you're talking about cardiology, Guardian Hospital Center would be the best. However, that property belongs to the government, and it will be a bit tough to acquire it.”“I personally recommend United Hospital Center. That's a private enterprise, and it will be easier to acquire...” Zeke stopped him halfway, “Hold on, I'm not asking for your opinion to acquire a hospital. I just want to open a clinic, that's all.” Evan felt sorry for him. What a waste it is for the Needle God to work in a small clinic. “In that case, I would suggest Merwin District,” Evan suggested. “There are farmers working in the vegetable greenhouse in the vicinity of Merwin District. Unfortunately, due to their working environment, they're prone to heart diseases.” “Besides, there are no hospitals in that area. Therefore, farmers have to travel far away just to visit the doctor. Furthermore, the consultation fee in the hospital is expensive, so they often refuse to get it treated in a hospital.” “If you're planning to open a small clinic in that area, I'm sure your business will be good.” Zeke nodded, “Hmm... then I will head over there for an inspection.” “Sure, Mr. Williams. I will acquire Merwin District immediately,” Evan said. Zeke's head started aching. “Please do not meddle in my affairs.” Left with no choice, Evan replied, “Erm... Okay.”After he hung up the phone, Zeke told Daniel the advantages of opening a clinic in Merwin District. Daniel's eyes lit up. “Hmm... Merwin District does sound like a great location.” “However, it's a little bit further from our house. Anyway, I don't think it's a big deal.” Zeke replied, “Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal either. We can buy a villa nearby. Our current house is a little bit too small for us.” Daniel was speechless. It will take me years of hard work to get enough money just to buy a villa. At the same time, Emily and Madeleine drove towards the direction of Merwin District. Madeleine asked worriedly, “Emily, are you sure opening a clinic in Merwin District would be good for the business?” Emily replied, “Mum, don't worry about it. I've done market research. Everything is going to be alright.” “I've also sought advice from the professionals. They all unanimously agreed that Merwin District will be the best place for our clinic.” Madeleine was relieved. “Alright then.” Emily continued, “Oh yeah, mum. Have you heard that the Great Marshal will be joining the TCM Association Forum?” “If we could leave a good impression on the Great Marshal, that would be great for us.” Madeleine laughed, “The Great Marshal is so superior. He's totally out of our league. Don't even think about it.” “The most important thing right now is to be acquainted with the miracle doctor introduced by Susan. Your dad's life depends on that miracle doctor.” Emily nodded, “Sure, I know what to do.” A dead silence followed. Although Merwin District was a remote area, there were a lot of units for sale or rent. Soon, Zeke and Daniel had their eyes on a particular unit. They paid one year's rental upfront, and Daniel officially became the tenant of the clinic. After they solved their biggest concern, next would be going through the paperwork and contact the medical suppliers. To set up the clinic as soon as possible, they decided to share the workload. Zeke would be in charge of the paperwork, while Daniel would contact the renovation team and the medical suppliers. Coincidentally, Madeleine and Emily arrived at the destination after they left.
