Chapter 237 Gu Chunsheng Comes to the Door
After so many years of experience, Wu Tao had long since become immune to relationships. The only reason he agreed to date Huang Li was because he was attracted to her beauty.
Of course, Wu Tao would never tell the other party, and even when it was time to act, he would show his deep affection.
These are just his basic manners as a man, and do not mean that he would easily give his heart away.
Wu Tao himself didn't even know if he would ever truly fall in love with a woman again. His past was too complicated, not to mention his experiences in the previous worlds.
In the cultivation world alone, with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, Wu Tao has been accompanied by at least several hundred beautiful women.
I doubt any man, after being with so many women, would ever fall in love with another woman again.
"Sister Li, I don't think I've lost anything. If I hadn't broken off the engagement with the Gu family, we wouldn't have had the chance to be together now. So, what do you think? Why don't we just let the Gu family go?"
"Hehe, to be honest, Xiao Tao, things are out of control now. I didn't expect that after I took the lead, the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Sun family would all follow suit. It seems that your influence is growing, Xiao Tao. Even top-tier families know to use attacks on the Gu family to curry favor with you."
Listening to Huang Li's explanation, Wu Tao finally understood what the Gu family was going through. If this matter was only related to Huang Li, then he could persuade her to stop.
However, since three top-tier families were involved, even though the other party was trying to vent his anger, Wu Tao was not naive enough to think that he could make them stop with just a few words.
When large families conduct business, they may have personal reasons, but there must also be other business considerations involved.
Perhaps taking care of the family is just part of some plan among the three families, and as for adding a favor to oneself on the side, that's just going along with it.
Wu Tao doesn't deliberately belittle himself, but he also doesn't really believe he's that great.
He wasn't a young man like the original owner of this body; Wu Tao knew all too well the way these large families operated. After all, he himself had once founded several large families.
Wu Tao hung up Huang Li's call, stood there for a moment to think, and then went back inside.
Gu Chunsheng and Gu Qinghan both stared longingly at Wu Tao. At this moment, Gu Chunsheng had lost all his demeanor as the president of Gu Corporation, and even the usually proud and aloof Gu Qinghan appeared pitiful.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, Miss Gu, I've already inquired. Although it seems someone is standing up for me, I think Uncle Gu understands that my role isn't the main one. I think Uncle Gu should consider resolving the crisis from other angles as soon as possible."
"Wu Tao, why are you so heartless? If you hold a grudge against me, I can be your mistress and serve you for the rest of my life. I just beg you to let Gu Jia go."
Upon hearing Wu Tao's excuses, Gu Qinghan immediately assumed he was shirking responsibility. She had regretted her impulsiveness countless times in the past few days; if she could turn back time, she would never have done something so foolish again.
The more accustomed one is to the current luxurious lifestyle, the more afraid one is of losing it.
Gu Qinghan didn't understand Wu Tao's meaning, but Gu Chunsheng understood Wu Tao's explanation.
In fact, he himself came to Wu Tao with the attitude of "trying anything as a last resort".
Now that he has discovered that things have indeed developed in the most dangerous way, Gu Chunsheng suddenly feels somewhat at ease.
As a self-made millionaire who has built his fortune from scratch, Gu Chunsheng has a somewhat ruthless and ambitious personality.
"Alright, Qinghan, let's go. This is something Dr. Wu can't handle anymore."
In an instant, Gu Chunsheng's face seemed to have aged more than ten years. His once straight back began to hunch, and he had lost his invincible spirit.
Gu Qinghan was pulled away from the clinic by Gu Chunsheng, who had already begun to consider the worst-case scenario.
Time is money now, and he hopes to leave some trump cards for his family as soon as possible.
Even if I can't make a comeback in the future, I must ensure that my family will have enough to eat and wear for the rest of their lives.
Watching Gu Chunsheng and Gu Qinghan leave in their car, Wu Tao stood by the window, sighing at the unpredictability of life.
Perhaps without his arrival, the Gu family wouldn't be facing their current crisis. However, he never wastes his own time on internal conflicts, and what does it matter to him whether others are happy or suffering?
Wu Tao quickly put the Gu family's affairs out of his mind; now, Wu Tao's clinic was too famous in Nancheng.
Even the high fees couldn't stop the wealthy from seeking his medical expertise. Wu Tao has now recruited ten more traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, bringing the total number of experienced doctors at his clinic to fifteen, excluding Wu Tao himself.
Especially when dealing with ordinary patients, Wu Tao instructed the doctors to prescribe the cheapest medicine possible.
Basically, they always charge the cost price, and Wu Tao is responsible for the doctors' and nurses' salaries and bonuses.
Basically, they always charge the cost price, and Wu Tao is responsible for the doctors' and nurses' salaries and bonuses.
Compared to other hospitals, Wu Tao's hospital only sets a target for doctors based on the number of patients they see, without any requirements regarding fees.
Wu Tao even limited the amount of medicine that could be prescribed, making sure that ordinary people wouldn't have to spend an extra penny.
Wu Tao didn't choose to offer his services for free, knowing he couldn't save the world alone. He wanted to help ordinary people as much as possible without placing unnecessary burden on the clinic.
Wu Tao is no longer short of money; his clinic now has nearly 100 million yuan in cash quietly lying in its accounts.
This doesn't even include the 20 million that Wu Tao returned to Liu Lan; the patients he personally treated all charged millions or tens of millions.
The hospital only spends a few hundred thousand yuan a month, a few million yuan a year. Wu Tao can cover the entire year's expenses by taking in a wealthy person.
Wu Tao always felt that he was chosen by a powerful being and could travel through multiple worlds because he had done too many good deeds in his previous life, which was why he had such good fortune.
It is with this understanding that Wu Tao is now particularly willing to continue to promote this kind of good deed. In this way, as he continues to accumulate good deeds, perhaps his own blessings will also increase.
With this aspiration, Wu Tao redefined the meaning of his life. And not just in this life, but also in other worlds he might travel to in the future, he will continue to uphold this belief.
Simply traveling to different worlds, pretending to be weak while actually being strong, leveling up by defeating monsters and eventually reaching the peak, Wu Tao began to feel tired after several such experiences.
It wasn't physical fatigue, but mental exhaustion. Especially after just experiencing ten thousand years in the cultivation world, if Wu Tao didn't set a new anchor for himself, he would probably grow to hate this repetitive cycle of time travel sooner or later.
Wu Tao has decided that no matter which world he is in in the future, he will do his best to help ordinary people, provided that it does not affect his own ability to live a good life.
Wu Tao doesn't want to be a tycoon in this life, but with his extraordinary medical skills, he can still shine in his field.
Wu Tao's clinic is his own business, which allows him to serve the general public while earning money from the super-rich.
He then uses the money of those wealthy people to help others, so that he can balance his life and his ideals.
