Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 292 - 291 Actually, I Am Also a Big Shot

"Oh, so you encountered him in the capital." Ge Dongxu smiled.
"It wasn’t that I encountered him, but that I ran into trouble in the capital. Thinking I had no friends there, I tried giving him a call to see if he could help. And then..." Lin Jinnuo said excitedly.
Even now, Lin Jinnuo could not keep his composure when he remembered the scene he had experienced in an entertainment venue in the capital.
This time, his trip to the capital was actually to help Kontin Chain Hotels scout for a direct-sale store in the capital.
After the new year, the development prospects of Kontin Chain Hotels became increasingly bright, naturally speeding up its expansion. Lin Kun, who was mainly responsible for the chain hotels, was busy with the affairs of the headquarters in the Provincial Capital, as well as managing other company matters and was naturally overwhelmed. Since the capital was one of the most critical cities in the development of Kontin Chain Hotels, when preparing to open the first chain store as a direct-sale store, sending staff to check it out was something Lin Kun could not feel at ease about. As he could not leave the headquarters, he simply asked his father Lin Jinnuo, the seasoned veteran, to step in.
After all, the matters in Changxi County were being handled by the old team, so he didn’t need to watch over them every day.
Lin Jinnuo, a widower in middle age who had not remarried, was in the hotel and catering industry himself. Upon arriving in the capital, he naturally wanted to visit entertainment venues to have some fun when he was free. Accompanying him was the owner of a medium-sized hotel he fancied and was preparing to take over and convert into a Kontin Chain Hotel.
There should have been no issues, but unexpectedly, that owner had somehow offended a local black society influence, and his eagerness to sell the hotel was due to this reason.
While they were having fun at the entertainment venue, they just happened to run into the owner’s adversary.
Although Lin Jinnuo was stout, he was someone who valued brotherhood, and in a moment of passion, he spoke up and even got physical to defend the man. As a result, he was beaten up, and knowing that he was a local tycoon from a small place, they said he had injured their people and demanded money, threatening not to let him go otherwise.

Lin Jinnuo was handling affairs for his son and felt he couldn’t lose face. Moreover, the sum demanded by the other party was too large, and he had put all his money into the new hotel. He had even taken out a loan from the bank last year, guaranteed by Ge Dongxu, so where could he produce such an amount of money at once? Even if he could, it would hurt.
Having no other choice, Lin Jinnuo remembered Fan Hong, whom he had met at the hotel last time, thinking that as a local resident of the capital, he might have some connections and could mediate the situation with a little financial ’bleeding.’ So, Lin Jinnuo made a call to Fan Hong and recounted the situation to him.
Fan Hong said he wasn’t currently in the capital, so he couldn’t deal with the matter personally, but he would send someone to handle it immediately.
At first, Lin Jinnuo thought Fan Hong was looking for an excuse not to help, but to his surprise, within minutes, several police cars arrived and arrested all those people.
The gang leader who had been extorting Lin Jinnuo clearly had some connections in the capital and even recognized the leading police officer. At first, he was calm and attempted to cozy up to the officer, but without saying much, the officer beat him up.

After that, the owner of the entertainment venue personally came forward to plead on behalf of the assailant, but the police officer gave him no face, merely whispering something in the owner’s ear, which caused the owner’s face to completely change, not daring to let out a peep.

In the capital, no less, where one has to have deep connections to operate such a large entertainment venue—yet, after the police officer whispered in his ear, he didn’t dare to let out a peep.
That wasn’t the end of it. After the incident, the owner of the entertainment venue made a point of apologizing to Lin Jinnuo. Later, another person came, not only to apologize, but also to deliver a bank card to cover Lin Jinnuo’s medical expenses. The owner of the hotel that was preparing to hand over its management to the Kunting Chain Hotel Company told Lin Jinnuo that this man was the behind-the-scenes owner of the person who had assaulted him, and was very capable in the capital.
When the hotel owner spoke these words, his gaze towards Lin Jinnuo was filled with reverence.
Although Lin Jinnuo was only from a small place, he was still one of the influential figures of Changxi County. By now he understood that Fan Hong was not simply the head of a trading company; his influence in the capital was substantial. So when Fan Hong specially called to say he had returned to the capital and was planning to visit, Lin Jinnuo hurriedly called Ge Dongxu to probe for some information from him.
After all, this was the capital! Even the rank of a police station chief here was comparable to that of a county public security bureau chief.
And now, someone casually called over the police station chief in mere moments; how formidable must Fan Hong be?
Lin Jinnuo, coming from a small place and suddenly meeting someone so influential, knew nothing about his background; how could he not be nervous?
"Are you all right?" Ge Dongxu didn’t wait for Lin Jinnuo to finish, guessing that Lin Jinnuo must have witnessed some of Fan Hong’s influence. He interrupted Lin Jinnuo and asked with concern.
"Just got hit a few times, but I’m thick-skinned, no harm done. On the contrary, I made a fortune thanks to your friend," Lin Jinnuo replied.
"Money is an extraneous possession, no matter how much you have, you can’t take it with you when you’re born or when you die—your health matters more. You should go to the hospital for a check-up, and if there’s any problem, come back quickly. I’ll help you look into it," Ge Dongxu said.
"Thanks, Dongxu, I know. But can you still tell me about your friend? You have no idea—when a bunch of cops rushed in and started grabbing people, not only that, but several big bosses apologized to me afterward. Now that your friend said he wants to visit me, I don’t understand anything about him. Moreover, since he has done me such a big favor, what kind of gift should I prepare to show my gratitude? Also, the Kunting Chain Hotel is about to open up a branch here in the capital, do you think it would be appropriate to let him say a word to the local police station when the time comes, just to look out for us a bit?" Lin Jinnuo, moved by Ge Dongxu’s concern for his health, thanked him and then urgently inquired about Fan Hong.
"You don’t need to prepare any gift; he won’t care for those things. As for the hotel, there’s no need to bring it up especially. He will know what he needs to know even if you don’t mention it. Just maintain a normal attitude," Ge Dongxu said casually.
"You say that with such ease, Ge Dongxu, or should I say, Brother Xu, but this is the capital! With his level of influence, he’s clearly an important figure, and I owe him a huge favor—is this really okay?" Lin Jinnuo, seeing Ge Dongxu’s casual tone, couldn’t help but express his mixed feelings of amusement and disbelief.
"Don’t worry, you were attacked in the capital because of my company’s business; if anything, I owe you a favor. And the favor he owes me—if we really start comparing, would turn out to be much bigger than what he’s done for you. Besides, we are all friends, so there’s nothing special you need to be thankful for. It’s true that he’s an important figure, but you know what, I am too, and I see that Old Lin, you’ve never been nervous in my presence," Ge Dongxu said with a touch of humor towards the end.
