Chapter 1283 Setting up a VIP Area
There were not many people in the subway car. Bian Mu found a seat near the door and suddenly remembered that he missed a call.

"Liu Xiangyang?! What could be the matter of calling at this time?" Thinking of this, Bian Mu called Liu Xiangyang back.

"Is it convenient for us to come out and find a place to sit?" Liu Xiangyang said calmly on the other end of the phone.

"Oops! Sorry! I forgot to answer your call. I just met a patient with a very narrow mind, a very special patient. I was delayed for a while and forgot about your call. I'm on the subway now. What's the matter? Can we talk on the phone?"

"Oh... it's nothing... I always feel... you earn your money through hard work, and the renovation of the Chinese Medical Clinic will cost a lot of money, and I can't help much usually. My friends always ask me to go over to help, and I can't take care of both ends. Otherwise... can I withdraw first? Anyway, the digital medical system you developed is running quite smoothly now. I usually just maintain it online, and it's not appropriate for me to take so much money from you." Hesitatingly, Liu Xiangyang proposed to break up.

Bian Mu's mind worked quickly and he guessed that the Zhong family must have asked someone to contact Liu Xiangyang.

"I see... Actually... You are a bit underappreciated here. You just happened to have such an opportunity to make great achievements. I will listen to you. Let's just settle the account. What do you think... Should we sign a supplementary agreement or something?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Doctor Bian! I have randomly drafted a supplementary agreement and sent it to your email. If there is anything inappropriate, please feel free to modify it. I respect your opinion!"

"That makes things easier. Thank you for your hard work. Well... I'll get back to you in the evening?" Bian Mu responded with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"No rush, any time is fine. I won't bother you any more. As for Engineer Fan..."

"I'll go explain to Engineer Fan. After the agreement is signed, you can just give him a call and that's it."

"Okay, okay! Then you go ahead and do your work, we'll talk later!" After saying that, Liu Xiangyang hung up the phone.

The Zhong family is quite efficient. After putting his phone away, Bian Mu let out a long sigh, and his back suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

……

When I woke up, I grabbed my phone and looked at it. It was 13:48. Time to go to work again!

Bian Mu went to the bathroom and wiped his face casually, then went to the study to open his laptop and check his emails. The email from Liu Xiangyang was ranked third, so he downloaded the attachment and opened it to read it carefully. Bian Mu guessed at that time that the supplementary agreement in front of him must have been drafted by the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.

Out of caution, Bian Mu forwarded the email to Assistant Zhang, Qi Yuewei, and Fan Sanqiao, asking them to help take a look.

……

In the evening, Bian Mu had two patients left, and the herbal farmer Lao Pei came to visit.

The two smiled at each other without saying anything. Old Pei exchanged a few polite words with Nurse Ye and the others, then made himself a cup of hot tea, found a secluded seat, and went to sip the tea while checking his phone.

……

"Where have you been? Why are you here at this hour?" After seeing off the patient, Bian Mu greeted Lao Pei with a smile. "Zhao Xicheng was about to approve the medicinal materials, and he just finished the handover. He came to see you by the way. You look a little tired recently!" Lao Pei responded with a smile.

"Oh! Don't mention it! It's also my own fault... There are so many more patients with bone injuries all of a sudden, and more than half of them need manual rehabilitation treatment. It's really tiring! Let's reserve a table at Tianyin Pavilion!" Bian Mu planned to treat Lao Pei to a good meal.

"Forget it! The stir-fry restaurant at the door is pretty good. Let's just order a few dishes and have rice as the staple food." Old Pei was a little lazy and suggested that they just have a meal here at the clinic.

"Then I'll add some soup to warm your stomach!" After saying that, Bian Mu invited Luo Zhan to go downstairs to chat with Lao Pei, and he went out to order food.

Bian Mu brought back 8 dishes and one soup, half meat and half vegetables. The boss was already familiar with Bian Mu and even arranged a waiter to help carry the food boxes.

After the food was served, Bian Mu gave the waiter 100 yuan as a tip! The waiter was so happy that he thanked him several times and went back to the store to work.

The three of them chatted while eating.

There was wine in the clinic. Bian Mu picked a bottle of "Guilingji", opened the bottle cap and poured it into the wine jug to warm it first. The three of them drank some, and they could sleep well at night.

"San Qiangzi's father is about to retire, and he is very concerned about the National Medical Clinic. Judging from the situation, it should be completed in a week. While you are here, let's discuss it. After the National Medical Clinic opens, should we set up a VIP area?" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"After being away from ordinary patients for a long time, you must be a little restless, haha..." Bian Mu's little thoughts were immediately exposed by Lao Pei.

"Haha... You may not understand, but the feeling of treating ordinary people is really different. Dealing with rich people all day long always makes me feel indescribably tired. Both my body and mind are very exhausted. Over time, to be honest, I don't want to go out for medical treatment anymore. It's a bit unsatisfactory anyway." Bian Mu told the truth.

"People with some money are difficult to serve and are not as friendly as ordinary people. I have a similar feeling. So... what is the proportion of the VIP area and the general clinic area respectively?" Luo Zhanqi asked casually.

"One to two? VIPs go upstairs, accounting for one third? The first floor is all ordinary outpatient clinics, accounting for two thirds? I just said that casually, I haven't thought it through!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"If you ask me... it would be better to split it into three parts. The first floor would be for general outpatient clinics, which would be for the general public. The second floor could be divided into two parts, with the VIP area taking up two-thirds, and the remaining area for special clinics. Special clinics can charge high prices, and people make a living by their real skills. There's no reason to be polite. The registration fee should remain the same, with no increase or decrease." The herbalist Old Pei suggested confidently.

"If the registration fee doesn't go down... low-income patients will be discouraged." Bian Mu retorted with a smile.

"You are still young after all. In the past two years, some things... you two have already become accustomed to them, right? For ordinary citizens, when their sons get married, whose family feels cold?! For a house worth more than one million yuan, isn't it that every household participates in it? Which household is missing?! Young people, no matter whether your family is rich or poor, don't you still buy a mobile phone of eight or nine thousand? Otherwise, how can the sales of mobile phones of that grade reach hundreds of millions?! I just read a related report a few days ago. There are at least more than 2 million users of mobile phones priced at around yuan. After a few more years of development, the number will definitely exceed million. Are their incomes really that high? Right!" At this point, smelling the aroma of wine, Lao Pei got up and walked to a nearby distance, brought it over with the wine warmer, and raised his hand to pour a glass for each of the three people.

Good wine!

"That makes sense! You are really wise! Then... the registration fee will remain the same, but... there are those families who are really in difficulty, especially orphans and widows. If I don't give them special care, I will feel uncomfortable sooner or later. Everyone here is my family, I say whatever I want!" Bian Mu brought up another troublesome matter.

"Provide free medical consultations! Find a special day, or contact the community and have them send a few volunteers to help maintain order at the scene. It can be done in front of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Remember one thing, you must not let them go to the clinic just because it's raining or the temperature is dropping. Listen to me, you won't go wrong." The herbal farmer Old Pei suddenly uttered some puzzling remarks.

After hearing this, not to mention Bian Mu, Luo Zhanqi was also stunned.
