Chapter 73 Opening a medical clinic and receiving gifts
Early the next morning.
Zhou Dachuan brought a group of people over, set off firecrackers outside Chunfeng Building, and played red ribbons to celebrate the opening of the medical center.
Gu Chan led a group of his own people and stood at the door to greet them.
The people standing behind her were all smiling from ear to ear.
On the other hand, Gu Chan stood in position C and couldn't laugh at all.
She stayed up all night anxiously last night and found out that she had two giant panda eyes. Coupled with the torture of her menstrual period, she looked as if she was ten years older and very haggard.
After Zhou Dachuan finished setting off the firecrackers, all the shopkeepers nearby came over to congratulate him.
Gu Chanpi led everyone to return the favor with a smile.
The politeness was almost the same, and after the ceremony was over, Zhou Dachuan immediately came up with two people to deliver the plaque.
The three of them walked up to Gu Chan. Zhou Dachuan smiled and said, "Your medical clinic is opening today. Why are you so listless? You need to cheer up. The plaque is about to be unveiled now, and you want to seek good luck for your medical clinic." "
"Haha... Okay, come on!" Gu Chan said with a dry laugh.
The smile on her face at this moment was indeed too fake.
Zhou Dachuan waved his hand and ordered his two men to carry the solid wood golden plaque covered with red cloth in front of Gu Chan, "Reveal it!"
Gu Chan nodded and reached out to lift off the red cloth covering the plaque.
"Pa bang bang..."
There were bursts of warm applause all around.
Gu Chan looked at the four characters "Chunfeng Medical Center" engraved on the plaque, and she really wanted to die.
Yesterday, more than three hundred taels of silver were spent on cleaning, as well as buying tables, chairs, benches and other daily necessities in the building. And the most important thing is that she borrowed this money from Zhou Dachuan first, and she will still have to pay it back in the future!
Now that she had paid for today's banquet, she only had a few large copper coins left in her hand. Even eating at night was a problem.
How can this bullshit medical clinic be opened?
Why did Zhou Dachuan care about her? When he saw her unveiling the plaque, he immediately shouted, "Hang the plaque."
Another person immediately brought a bamboo ladder and set it up to the gate. Then two men carried the plaque up front and back, and soon hung the plaque in the middle above the gate.
Zhang Wanshan looked happy and hurriedly waved to invite, "Everyone, we have prepared some wine in the hall. If you don't mind, you can come in and have a drink. It will help us increase our popularity."
"Come, bring up my gift." Zhou Dachuan rolled his eyes, immediately took Zhang Wanshan's words and gave instructions to his men behind him.
A subordinate immediately came over with a small red box, presented it to Zhang Wanshan and opened it.
As soon as the small box was opened, the ingots of white silver contained inside were instantly exposed.
The surroundings immediately became silent.
Zhou Dachuan's acting skills are not outstanding. He walked up to Zhang Wanshan and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhang, these two hundred taels of silver are my gift for the opening of Chunfeng Medical Center. It is a small gift, but it is not respectful. I hope you will accept it."
"Ouch! Shopkeeper Zhou, you are really considerate of this, so we are embarrassed to accept it. I hope that the cooperation between our two families will be smooth and prosperous in the future." Zhang Wanshan replied as if he had prepared the lines in advance. It's very natural without speaking, and the tension in the expression is still in place.
Gu Chan stood aside and stared at the two of them, dumbfounded.
Dry!
She was worried about money just now, but now she is dull and happy.
"Oh my god! So there is a way to accept gifts! Why didn't they discuss it with me in advance? I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep last night."
After staring blankly for a moment, Gu Chan couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Zhou Dachuan said naturally, "Okay, thanks to Mr. Zhang's kind words, I will go in and celebrate." After saying that, he swaggered and led his men into the lobby first.
Everyone standing outside was embarrassed at this moment.
"Mom, I should have known better than to join in the fun. Now it's better. Just freeze here. It's not the case if you go in, and it's not the case if you don't go in."
"What should we do? We can't lose face! We have to get in!"
"You have to give a gift when you enter. Are you too embarrassed not to give one?"
Soon everyone started whispering quietly.
Gu Chan looked at the troubled shopkeepers and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
There are really too few entertainment programs in this world. Everyone likes to join in the fun without worrying about the big deal, and then disperse after the fun is over, and everyone goes their own way without having to pay anything.
This has resulted in the habit of standing where people like to wherever the excitement is.
But sometimes, there is some excitement that cannot be gathered casually. For example, now, Zhou Dachuan and Zhang Wanshan, two talented people, sing and sing in harmony to perform the drama of the ceremony. The group of people outside are not Have they put it on the shelf?
Most of these people are nearby shopkeepers. It would be shameful to leave like this, so why don’t you leave! It hurts their flesh to have to pay for it as a gift.
Can't they just freeze in place now?
Gu Chan came back to her senses, looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Don't be stunned! From now on, the neighbors in the street must take care of each other. Although the wine at Chunfeng Medical Center is a bit thin, please give it a try. It’s the face!”
"Shopkeeper Gu, I'm really sorry today. I'm in a hurry to go out. I don't have much silver taels with me, so I can only take ten taels with me."
"Then I will follow Shiliang."
"I'll give you a five-tael gift."
After Gu Chan finished speaking, everyone finally couldn't hold on to their dignity. They could only suppress the pain in their hearts and shouted to come forward to give money.
Zhang Wanshan immediately asked someone to bring a large box and put it at the door. Those who came to give the gift directly threw the money into the box.
Ding Meihua called for a book and sat next to her to write down the amount of silver each gifted.
Gu Chan saw more and more money in the box, and she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear with joy.
anxiety?
She is still so anxious now!
Let’s collect the top dollar first. Anyway, there is still less than half a month until the head tax is paid at the end of the month. Now that the problem is solved, let’s think about the future slowly.
"Thank you everyone, come in and sit down, eat and drink well."
No, Gu Chan clasped her fists and bowed, enthusiastically inviting everyone to enter the lobby.
After a while, all the dozen or so tables in the lobby were filled, and gradually no one came outside to send congratulatory gifts.
Gu Chan ordered two people to cover a large box full of silver and carry it to the warehouse on the third floor for storage. Then he went into the lobby to toast everyone.
For a while, the atmosphere at the newly opened medical center was quite good.
But just when Gu Chan was happy, a driver driving a flatbed carriage suddenly stopped outside the gate of the hospital.
There were four large boxes neatly placed on the flat carriage, and Wang Tianxiao and a middle-aged woman, each riding a horse, followed the carriage.
As soon as everyone eating in the lobby saw Wang Tianxiao coming, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked towards the door.
Gu Chan also stared at the young master with kidney deficiency, and her face instantly darkened.
