Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1742 - 1745: Boss Ma's Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Looking at the astonished Shen Qiang, the graceful Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, smiled with her eyes curved and said, "How could the script given to you by the film queen be bad? Besides, Song Weiyin is such a big name. Check online, she has over ten million followers on a single social media account. Does it matter what she says or acts? If she stands there and says the food at Datong River is delicious, imagine how many fans would flock there?"Shen Qiang shook his head helplessly, and after a moment of silence said, "I just read you the script. She's a big star, but this melodramatic commercial script feels really low-brow, you know? Because the commercial script can be used anywhere, especially that last tagline, what is it, if you love her, take her to Datong River restaurant."

"Doesn't that sound super familiar?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "The house sellers say, love her, give her a home. The washing machine sellers say, love her, give her a washing machine. The hotels say, if you love her, you should book a room."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, laughing her eyes into crescents, playfully chided, "My king, you're great in every aspect, but why are you so unreliable when you talk? Just memorize the script well. The film queen Song Weiyin is so busy coming to rehearse with you tonight, and if you can't remember it, it would be embarrassing."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, took the phone, and said, "Then you're overthinking it. Actually, I'm the boss, I decide which script to use. Oh, she endorses me, so she can do whatever she wants? I renovate my house, she decides? What a joke."

With that, completely ignoring the bewildered Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, Shen Qiang directly sent a voice message to Song Weiyin: "The script is too bad. What do you think about changing it to, after eating the food at Datong River, the goddess can dazzle and shine? If you think the idea is disrespectful to you, then immediately revise it. Even if it's an ad, you can't be so perfunctory with me."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu laughed her eyes into crescents and said, "Why are you so vulgar?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Being too serious is tiring."

As he was speaking, Shen Qiang's phone rang, and he was surprised to see the call was from an address book contact named Antique Street, the professional fake dealer and treasure jar seller, Sun Kaiping, which left Shen Qiang a bit surprised.

Also a bit happy.

After all, this old brother and Boss Ma were two pretty nice people, they helped Shen Qiang a lot at the start of his business.

But ever since there was Heshenghe and Tianyou Medicine.

Shen Qiang rarely went to Antique Street anymore, because that kind of luck-based fortune mode, three parts skill and seven parts luck, was far less reliable than a pharmaceutical company and business, so naturally, Shen Qiang didn't keep much contact with them.

"Brother Sun," Shen Qiang answered the call with a smile.

But Sun Kaiping reacted a bit oddly, "Qiangzi, where are you now?"

Shen Qiang sensed promptly that Sun Kaiping probably had something important, so he said seriously, "I'm in Beijing, but if something needs me to be there, I can return to the Provincial City at once."

"No need to return to the Provincial City, here's the thing, old Ma's not feeling well, he's hospitalized in a Beijing hospital with colorectal cancer. The doctor's suggestion is to do surgery and then chemoradiotherapy, saying there's about a fifty percent chance of survival in five years, but old Ma won't listen, no matter what anyone says. So I figured, maybe you could persuade him, not many people can get through to him."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang sat up quickly and frowned, "Which hospital? Wait for me, I'll be there right away."

Having figured out the address.

Shen Qiang immediately got up, dressed up quickly, and left.

"Shen Qiang, have your meal before you go," Ke Bizhu hurriedly said.

Shen Qiang frowned, putting on his watch, and said, "You and Ye Guyun eat, until I meet him, I can't eat."

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu was helpless.

A golden cicada fiendishly flew onto Shen Qiang's shoulder, accompanying him downstairs, and until they were in the car on the way to the hospital, the lovely golden cicada said, a little nervously and hesitantly, "Master, that guy with cancer, is it that sleazy golden-toothed guy?"

Shen Qiang laughed and somehow remembered how that guy once helped him deceive those monks and sell Buddha's Treasure. Then he continued driving and said laughingly, "Yeah, it's him."

"That guy's so wicked," the golden cicada said seriously, "he scams this one and that one, buys fake goods, sells fake goods, snicker-snicker, he said it himself, if you're doing business on Antique Street, then get caught, don't ask, just execute, and there will be no wrongful cases, now he's got cancer, isn't that karma?"

Hearing this, the smiling Shen Qiang said surprisedly, "Don't say such things. Boss Ma is a good man, understand? No matter what he's done, that's his personal business, but during the time we were acquaintances, he never scammed me, never harmed me. On the contrary, he helped me a lot. One must not forget one's roots, in this world, everyone has flaws. If you seriously observe, you'll find no one is perfect, so he's my friend."

The golden cicada gave an 'oh' and then smiled delightedly, "Then in that case, master can easily save him, right? With a Jiazi Pill, he can live another sixty years, it's too easy."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned, then spoke in a deep voice, "As if it were that simple. Jiazi Pill is for prolonging life; if old Ma were just aging normally, one elixir would do. But he has cancer, and if the disease isn't thoroughly treated, the Jiazi Pill is useless."

The golden cicada was stunned.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Just outside the ward, Shen Qiang saw Sun Kaiping comforting a weeping middle-aged beautiful woman.

Shen Qiang recognized that middle-aged beautiful woman, she was Boss Ma's wife.

"Sister-in-law," Shen Qiang greeted her.

Boss Ma's wife nodded but seemed unable to speak, yet she still pulled a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and a roughly twenty-year-old girl, aside and said, "Call Uncle Shen."

"Hello, Uncle Shen."

Looking at the young girl and boy, not much younger than himself, calling him uncle, Shen Qiang smiled, greeted them simply, and said, "What's the situation?"

"Colorectal cancer, mid to late stage. The doctor recommends surgery as soon as possible, but old Ma won't listen, clamoring to leave the hospital. The doctor said if he goes for conservative treatment, he may not survive more than six months."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang sighed helplessly and said, "Then let me have a word with him."

Sun Kaiping nodded, and Boss Ma's tearful wife also nodded at Shen Qiang with eyes full of hope.

As soon as Shen Qiang entered the ward, Boss Ma was sitting by the bed, putting on his shoes. Seeing Shen Qiang, he grinned, showing his golden teeth: "Qiangzi, don't try to persuade me to do those crappy surgeries. You know me, if someone is bound to die in life, I'd choose to die on some beauty's belly, not in a hospital room."
