Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 187 - 129: A Reminder—There Are No True Heroes, Only Physicians in White Armor with Compassion

The surrounding crowd burst into excitement.

Boss Zhao, however, remained unsatisfied, gazing at the raffle box.

Finally, he left with a cash prize of one thousand yuan.

Li Jingsheng stayed with Boss Zhao the whole time, secretly thinking that seasoned veterans always gain some advantage in this world.

After Boss Zhao and Li Jingsheng walked away, Boss Zhao couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, if my hand wasn't so thick and a bit short, I would've definitely gotten the first prize. Getting the third prize is better than nothing!"

"Does the first prize know you? Can you get it just by wanting to?"

Li Jingsheng stood nearby and noticed a bit of the trick, though he wasn't entirely sure.

Boss Zhao just gave a mysterious smile, "Don't underestimate it; the first prize always picks lucky folks like me. Brother Li, are you staying here for reconnaissance or what? I have things to attend to at the clinic, so I'll be off first."

"I'm heading back too."

After saying goodbye to Boss Zhao, Li Jingsheng walked a bit further, looked back, and found Boss Zhao didn't return to Quick Recovery Clinic but headed into a small alley.

He was carrying the box of blood sugar balance tablets he bought.

He seemed to be humming a tune, looking quite leisurely.

"Old Zhao's clinic sells blood sugar balance tablets, so why did he buy a box at Furuiduo Pharmacy's grand opening?"

Li Jingsheng was a bit puzzled.

But being someone who never meddled in other people's business, he didn't mention this upon returning to his clinic to discuss tomorrow's store celebration with Xiaogao and the others.

Today's customer flow was drawn away by the newly opened Furuiduo Pharmacy, but that's alright.

He had more time to prepare for tomorrow's celebration.

Even though Tang Ping and Xiaogao had started preparing two days ago.

Seeing Li Jingsheng return, both looked at him.

"I got a free tube of toothpaste. Dr. Gao, should we imitate others and give out toothpaste instead of eggs at our clinic?"

"If the boss wants to change, I suggest letting customers choose between two options. Free toothpaste doesn't attract elderly people as much as eggs or cooking oil do. The older generation, having endured hard times, firmly believes in the principle that food is the primary necessity."

Xiaogao had his own insights.

Speaking of understanding the elderly, he should be considered an expert.

"You make a fair point, so let's prepare a variety of gifts."

Next, Li Jingsheng, Xiaogao, and Tang Ping discussed some details.

"By the way, as for setting up an inflatable arch tomorrow, did they approve it?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"There's been no response to the letter; perhaps I should call the intermediary and ask for help."

Xiaogao was the one who sent out the gift through the intermediary.

He went to the infusion room, made the call, and came out.

"Our street was just approved for one setup; the upper management thinks it shouldn't be too frequent, worried about negative impacts. How about next week?"

"Alright, let's do it next week!"

Li Jingsheng felt a bit frustrated.

Fortunately, there wasn't yet a significant investment; they had only contacted the company renting inflatable arches without finalizing anything.

A thousand copies of the flyers were printed, and because they have the date on them, they're certainly useless now.

This loss wasn't substantial.

With next week's event, the preparation time could be more ample.

Without a background and connections, the treatment is similar everywhere; you can only scrounge for scraps among the powerful.

"Boss, is it true that the newly opened pharmacy actually has a raffle?"

Xiaogao came over.

"Of course it's true; Boss Zhao picked a thousand yuan!"

"May I take half an hour off? I'd like to try my luck at the raffle too."

Xiaogao seemed very interested in this.

"Go ahead, we don't have many customers at our clinic today anyway."

Seeing his hopeful little eyes, Li Jingsheng didn't stop him.

"Thank you, boss. If I win, I'll treat you all to drinks."

With that, Xiaogao took off his work uniform and ran off like the wind.

This was the most enthusiastic Li Jingsheng had ever seen him, even more so than selling medicine.

About twenty minutes later, Xiaogao returned.

His face was beaming with joy.

He held a tube of toothpaste obtained for free, a set of skincare products, a bag of cotton swabs, and in the other hand, he carried four bottles of drinks priced at six yuan each.

Generally living quite frugally, Xiaogao was exceedingly generous this time.

The skincare set likely wasn't for personal use; it was probably a gift for his girlfriend.

As for the bag of cotton swabs, he must have bought them to qualify for a raffle entry.

"Dr. Gao couldn't have really won the prize, could he?"

"Hehe, thanks, boss, for giving me the chance. I won almost a thousand yuan, and this month I can afford a little extra for meals." Xiaogao smiled cunningly, extremely pleased.

Li Jingsheng, however, felt enlightened.

Boss Zhao picked the third prize, while Xiaogao also went and picked the third prize.

Both only bought items worth a hundred yuan.

Which means they only had one raffle chance.

Both had a 100% winning rate.

It seems that Xiaogao learned quite a lot of street smarts from Boss Zhao over the year!

Another thing Li Jingsheng admired was, whether Boss Zhao or Xiaogao, despite having a 100% chance of winning, they only picked once, never being greedy.

Achieving this wasn't easy.

"Sister Tang, this bottle is for you; thanks for helping me these days. This one is for Niuniu."

Xiaogao handed two bottles of drinks to Tang Ping.

"Boss, this is yours. Don't look down on it; I'm too broke right now, and can only treat you to a drink."

"Do your best; when you have money in the future, treat me and Sister Tang to a nice meal. This bottle of drink represents your goodwill. I usually don't drink soda, but today I'll make an exception."
