Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain-Chapter 71 - Who Pays the Bill
Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Who Pays the Bill?
Chapter 71 -71: Who Pays the Bill?
Yu Jiangnan Hotel, that is the most famous restaurant under the Jianghai Commerce Association.
The restaurant is located near Hundred-Flower-Lake, not far from Renmin Hospital. The head chef there is said to have been a Provincial Royal Chef who used to cook for the leaders of the First Province.
You need to make a reservation in advance to dine there, and a few days ago, Qiao Bing had booked three tables through her connections.
Only someone like her, a Director at a Grade III Hospital department with extensive connections, could have managed a reservation.
But even for her, securing a private room was out of the question. It’s too difficult to get a private room there when dining.
When everyone found out they were going to Yu Jiangnan Hotel for dinner, their spirits were immediately lifted.
“Tonight we can have a good meal.”
“Yu Jiangnan Hotel, huh? I’ve never been there. I heard the taste there is unparalleled.”
“…”
Even the interns could join this time, and they were incredibly excited.
Zhang Yao, a student of Teacher Huang Hua, said, “It’s awesome, we actually get to eat at Yu Jiangnan Hotel tonight. Who do you think will pick up the tab this time?”
“It should be the department,” someone guessed.
Zhang Yao couldn’t help saying to Tan Ya, Lin Dong’s intern:

“Tan Ya, this time going to Yu Jiangnan Hotel is under the guise of welcoming your teacher.”
“If you ask me, it should be your teacher who treats!”
“But, I estimate your teacher probably doesn’t have the money. It’s still going to be the department footing the bill, which looks rather penniless.”
Tan Ya coughed awkwardly and said, “This kind of thing isn’t something we interns should be discussing, right?”
“Why can’t we discuss it? What I’m saying is the truth. Following such a penniless teacher won’t lead to any success.”
At this point, Zhang Yao suddenly put on a boastful expression and continued:
“Not like me, following Teacher Huang Hua, you have no idea how many benefits there are.”
“Like Yu Jiangnan Hotel, I’ve actually been there before. Teacher Huang Hua took me there last time, and the food was really delicious. I’ll never forget it in my lifetime…”
“Right, this time Teacher Huang Hua is also introducing houses in the department. I’m planning to convince my parents to help me buy one, to buy is to earn.”
She is a local resident of Jianghai, and her parents are employees of an organization, belonging to a well-off family.
So even though Zhang Yao is only interning, she could afford a house with her family’s help.
Unlike Tan Ya, who comes from the countryside, buying a house is far too distant for her.
However, Tan Ya has a good mindset. She doesn’t think houses and external enjoyments are that important. During her internship, the most important thing is to learn skills.
Facing Zhang Yao’s bragging, she didn’t feel a tinge of envy.
Such things are not worth her envy!
She shook her head and quickly followed Lin Dong to see patients.
These past few days, following Lin Dong, she had learned quite a lot.
The things Teacher Lin Dong said were indeed very useful. She can now treat some simple sicknesses following what Teacher Lin Dong taught.
Time is like fine sand, slipping through the palm when scooped up and through the fingers as it flows away.
Time flew by, and when dusk came, a few doctors and nurses on duty that day remained in the department, while the others took off their white gowns and headed for Yu Jiangnan Hotel.
Soon everyone arrived outside Yu Jiangnan Hotel.
The entire department, aside from those on duty, had more than thirty people.
After entering, they came to the restaurant hall.
Many tables were set up in the hall, and Qiao Bing led everyone to find the two table numbers they had booked.
Because there were too many people, even two tables were a bit crowded.
Qiao Bing simply had the two tables joined together, and the restaurant brought a few more stools. Finally, everyone was able to sit down.
Huang Hua was somewhat dissatisfied, and it showed on his face.
At the same time, he asked Qiao Bing, “Director, who’s paying for this gathering?”
“The department,” Qiao Bing replied directly. Of course, the department pays for the dinner.
Hearing this, Huang Hua grew even more dissatisfied and protested, “Director, this dinner is under the guise of welcoming Lin Dong.”
“Letting the department pay means using everyone’s incentive payment to treat him.”
“Exactly,” others echoed upon hearing this.
“This means our bonus for this month will be reduced.”
“Sigh, using our own bonus to eat this meal suddenly makes even Yu Jiangnan Hotel not so appetizing!”
“…”
These people all wanted a free ride, not willing to spend the bonus money given by the department for this meal.
At this moment, Huang Hua’s mouth curved into an arc, as he provocatively looked at Lin Dong and said:
“Lin Dong, you should be the one treating. After all, the dinner is to welcome you!”
“You have the nerve to let everyone else pay?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong scoffed and said, “I can treat, but I have no intention of treating you, Huang Hua!”
With that, Huang Hua stiffened and his face turned particularly ugly as he said sternly,
“Fine, I’ll pay for my own share. I’m not keen on your treat, nor am I that short on money! But you must at least pay for everyone else, right?”
Lin Dong nodded, he did have a few millions in hand, and treating everyone to a meal wasn’t a big deal to him.
After all, they were future colleagues!
Thinking this, he nodded and said, “Okay!”
As soon as he said this, Huang Hua’s mouth revealed a smirk as if his plan had succeeded.
In his heart, he secretly said, “Lin Dong, this time I will definitely make you lose face!”
He believed Lin Dong probably didn’t have much money in his pocket, and when the bill came, he would get to see Lin Dong’s embarrassment.
