A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 67: Bricklaying

In the days that followed, Ethan was kept busy.

Adrian Whitehead transferred the ownership of the 1,000-square-meter clinic to Ethan and adamantly refused to accept the 50 million yuan Ethan offered at market price. Using Ethan's successful treatment of Alice Whitehead as an excuse, he was determined not to take the money.

Helpless, Ethan took Adrian Whitehead as his disciple and passed on to him the basic three needles of the "Three Talents Mystical Acupuncture" as payment for taking over the clinic.

Thrilled with his newfound treasure, Adrian Whitehead hung a "Closed for Practice" sign and practiced the three needles day and night. He aimed to make his title of "Needle King" truly deserving.

Dr. Sun, seeing this, moved into the Golden Clinic and clinged to Ethan pitifully. Ethan smiled and passed on the fourth, fifth, and sixth needles of the "Nine Palaces Reviving Needle" to him.

Thus, both grandmasters holed up in their rooms, diligently practicing their divine needles, and even put up a notice saying they would be in seclusion for twenty-one days.

Ethan had no choice but to let them be and turned his attention to carefully tending to Alice Whitehead, helping her regain the ability to walk.

After recovering, Alice Whitehead begged Ethan to teach her medicine. Feeling that she lacked a foundation, Ethan introduced her to Sabrina Barker as an assistant. He planned for Alice Whitehead to take over Blossom Pharmaceutical in the future.

During this time, many patients came to the Golden Clinic. Besides a few with serious illnesses, most had minor ailments. Ethan opened a door in the backyard and had Remedy Sun see patients there as a way to train him.

After taking care of these matters, Ethan asked Eugene Zacher to send a construction team to renovate the clinic.

Eugene Zacher personally led a team of highly skilled workers for the renovation.

For a time, the Golden Chi Clinic was bustling with activity, with dozens of workers working diligently.

As this was his clinic and his first business venture, Ethan was particularly excited and frequently visited the clinic.

Meanwhile, Ethan discovered that after treating Alice Whitehead and dozens of other patients, the white glow of the Life-Death Jade had recovered to seven segments, which gave him even more confidence.

"Beep, beep..."

One afternoon, just as Ethan was discussing the construction of a screen with Eugene Zacher, a white business van pulled up in front of the clinic.

The door opened, and five or six men and women stepped out, strutting towards the clinic.

A woman with almond-shaped eyes impatiently tapped on the counter:

"Who's in charge here? Get out here!"

Her companion, Spike Lee, kicked over a bucket of paint.

Eugene Zacher picked up a shovel and was about to charge, but Ethan stopped him and walked up to the woman:

"I'm in charge. What do you want?"

The woman with almond-shaped eyes took out a business card:

"My name is Jessica Jade, and I'm the sales director of Stewart's Pharmaceutical. We want to supply all the medicinal herbs for your clinic."

Our company will deliver 300,000 yuan worth of raw materials for the one hundred and eight types of herbs commonly used in Chinese medicine clinics on the first of every month," Jessica Jade stated, her tone dripping with arrogance. "We will also provide one million yuan worth of precious herbs, such as ginseng and lingzhi. The specific quantities of each herb will be determined by our Shen Corporation. If you have any special needs, you can pay an additional 50% for the goods."
