Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 124 - 108: Three Days Apart, a New Look—The Difficult Aunt (2)
"This, these are chairs provided by Best Medicine Company."
Boss Zhao glanced around and saw not just one, but several chairs.
"Brother Li, where did you snag these from?"
Boss Zhao’s first thought was that these chairs were bought by Li Jingsheng after being discarded by some big pharmacy or hospital.
Scavenging second-hand ’treasures’ from large hospitals and big pharmacies is something many savvy clinic owners have done.
It creates a slight connection with large hospitals and big pharmacies and allows the purchase of good quality equipment and instruments at a low cost.
For example, the vintage X-ray machine that Li Jingsheng acquired was cheap and of solid quality.
The only downside was the insufficient clarity in its examinations.
If there were no drawbacks, a private hospital wouldn’t discard it so easily.
Li Jingsheng smiled but remained silent.
"Boss, that water dispenser also has this slogan."
Xiaogao pointed out a water dispenser in the corner as a reminder.
Boss Zhao took a closer look, and indeed it did!
"Well, where did you manage to find this treasure? Hefeng Hall? I heard from their boss, Fatty Huang, that they plan to renovate the store."
Hefeng Hall Pharmacy is about four or five kilometers from here, and is one of the well-known pharmacies in Lijiang City.
Unexpectedly, Boss Zhao even knew the boss of a pharmacy that far away.
Li Jingsheng once again deeply realized how strong Boss Zhao’s connections were. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Last time he sold a motorcycle, and it was a coincidence that Boss Zhao knew the buyer. But this time, to inadvertently reveal knowing the boss of Hefeng Hall, that definitely shows a wide network.
Li Jingsheng still didn’t respond.
When it comes to the clinic’s trade secrets, he wouldn’t reveal a single bit.
Once bitten by a snake, for ten years afraid of a well rope.
Having been screwed over by Boss Zhao so many times, even though Boss Zhao promised not to trip him up again, he remained highly cautious.
"Not speaking, trying to act mysterious, huh? You can’t hide this from me, just a little inquiry and I’ll find out immediately." Boss Zhao’s eyes rolled around, and a characteristic sly smile appeared on his face.
"I advise you not to inquire."
Li Jingsheng seriously warned him.
"The more you don’t want me to know, the more I want to find out. In this small land of Jiang City’s southern area, nothing can be hidden from Old Zhao’s eyes and ears."
Boss Zhao wouldn’t listen to him.
Being hospitalized for a few days, Sunshine Clinic suddenly had chairs and water dispensers supplied by Best Medicine Company, which really piqued Boss Zhao’s sensitive nerves.
At this moment, a customer came in to buy medicine.
Tang Ping immediately greeted them with a smile.
"President Wang, you’re here!"
Remembering some customers’ names and warmly greeting them when they arrive is one of the most common customer retention methods. Accurately calling out a customer’s surname makes them feel valued, and they are more likely to visit again when they need something.
"Get me two bottles of blood sugar balance tablets! And Blackmores, please."
"Sure, I’ll get them for you right away! The results from the last purchase were pretty good, weren’t they?"
Tang Ping bent down to fetch the medicine from behind the counter for the customer.
Instantly, President Wang and Boss Zhao’s eyes were drawn over.
She didn’t notice initially, but when she straightened up after retrieving the medicine, she realized the two men’s gaze was off. She immediately realized her neckline might have revealed too much when bending over, and her pretty face couldn’t help but flush slightly.
"Blackmores’ blood sugar balance tablets?"
Boss Zhao murmured, reluctantly shifting his gaze from Tang Ping to focus on the two bottles of health supplements she had taken out.
All of a sudden, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Same old price, right?"
"Yes, same price, you only need to pay 148 yuan for the two bottles."
"I’ve paid!"
The man shook his phone.
The small speaker under the counter also played the prompt of a payment of 148 yuan.
"Alright, thank you for your patronage! If you need any other health supplements, you can come to our Sunshine Clinic. Most of them are big brands, guaranteed quality. The prices are even slightly cheaper than online because we source directly from major companies, making our prices and quality highly competitive."
Tang Ping put them into a small plastic bag for the customer and handed it over.
"No problem, see you next time!"
The man smiled and nodded, taking the medicine and leaving.
Boss Zhao kept his word and didn’t badmouth Sunshine Clinic this time.
Once the customer left with the medicine, he started to carefully examine the health supplements inside the counter.
The more he looked, the heavier his breathing became.
"Damn it, how are these all big brand products? Could they be knock-offs from somewhere?"
"You can eat food thoughtlessly, but you can’t speak recklessly. Every box of medicine we sell is traceable, sourced from legitimate channels."
Tang Ping couldn’t help but retort.
When it comes to the clinic’s reputation and credibility, she wouldn’t let anyone slander Sunshine Clinic.
Boss Zhao again meticulously scrutinized the medicines inside the counter.
"Miss Tang, could you give me a box to have a look at?"
"Sorry, I’m busy right now!"
Tang Ping knew the boss had been tricked by Boss Zhao many times, and she couldn’t provide much help.
Still, it was almost impossible for Boss Zhao to touch the medicines once he entered the clinic.
This is somewhat similar to the principle that cigarettes and alcohol are nonreturnable once they leave the counter.
Who knows if you tampered with it or swapped it?
Resignedly, Boss Zhao pulled out a hundred yuan bill and handed it over. "I’m not a competitor now, but a customer. I want to buy a bottle of Blackmores’ blood sugar balance tablets, that should work, right?"
"Here you go!"
Tang Ping bent down and took out a bottle. This time, she was very cautious, using her right hand to cover her chest.
At this moment, Zhao’s attention was indeed not on her.
