378 Price Reset
All medical practitioners were benevolent in nature.
As for this doctor, he had a good relationship with Ye Lu because he had a bit of chivalry in his heart.
This was why he felt very disgusted with the Chu Corporation’s profit-driven mindset.
This was especially so when he saw the patients feeling helpless and sad when they couldn’t afford the
special medicine due to the exorbitant price.
When the doctor was shouting, Chu Cichen already stood protectively before Shen Ruojing. He looked
at the doctor. “Why can’t we ask? There are no problems with the medicine produced by the Chu
Corporation. You guys must have verified it. Since that’s the case, why don’t you guys prescribe the
patients our medicine?”
“Why?”
The doctor roared angrily, “Do you guys think that I didn’t prescribe the medicine to them?! The patients
simply cannot afford it! You are charging $30,000 per injection, and it’s almost a five times increase
compared to before! Our hospital didn’t increase the price at all, but even so, do you think the patients
can afford it?”
After Chu Cichen heard this, he was stunned. “What $30,000? The Chu Corporation told the Shen
Family that the price was $7,000!”
The doctor was dumbstruck. “What?”
The room instantly fell silent. The doctor looked at Chu Cichen. “You must be mistaken, right? Before
we purchased the medicine, we asked many times for confirmation, and the answer given was $30,000
per injection. It is impossible for them to make a mistake. The Shen Family has been selling this
medicine for so many years, and it’s also impossible for them to swindle us. What is your identity in the
Chu Corporation? Can you make the decision for them?”
Chu Cichen instantly understood something. Just when he was about to speak, the door was suddenly
pushed open by a panicking nurse. “Doctor, things are bad. Little Mi wants to commit suicide by
jumping off the building!”
The expression of the doctor drastically changed as he rushed out.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen shared a glance and followed the doctor with no hesitation. They soon
reached the rooftop and saw a little girl standing at the edge of the roof.
The doctor shouted, “Little Mi!”
The girl was around eight to nine years old. She had shoulder-length hair and was clad in a loose-fitting
hospital gown.
She turned her head and looked at the doctor as she sobbed. “Don’t come over!”
The doctor immediately halted his steps, and he stretched out his hands. “Little Mi, don’t do reckless
things. Your elder brother will be angry!”
Little Mi’s eyes were red as she cried. “I don’t want to be a burden for him anymore. Even if he is angry,
it is better than me weighing him down!”
The doctor started.
Little Mi continued, “My illness cannot be cured and I know this. My brother has to work during the day,
and he also has to shift bricks at night. He is doing so many jobs for the sake of curing our illnesses.
But right now, a single injection costs $30,000! The money my brother saved can only allow one of us
to survive. In any case, I won’t be able to live if my brother dies, so I might as well die. After my death,
my brother only needed to pay the medical expenses of a single person. It should be enough…”
The little fellow spoke very logically, but her words caused all the nurses around there to cry.
As the doctor consoled her, Shen Ruojing looked at a nurse standing at the side. “What’s the matter?”
The nurse replied, “Little Mi is a patient that needs the special P+ medicine. Her brother is a patient as
well, and the two depend on each other. You should know that back when it cost $7,000 per injection,
the medical expenses for the two of them were around $60,000 per month. Her elder brother is a
university student and is very capable. However, his income every month is barely enough for the two
of them. Now that the injection price has shot up to $30,000 per shot, her elder brother has not rested
for a few days for the sake of making money. Ai, I heard he even fainted last night.”
Shen Ruojing’s chin tensed.
The doctor was shouting, “Little Mi, don’t be impulsive. Your brother is doing this for your own good.
Also, our hospital will think of a solution for you guys and raise funds for you all!”
However, Little Mi shook her head. “My elder brother said we have to depend on ourselves since we
aren’t crippled. We can handle the situation for a time by raising funds, but how is it sustainable
forever? Uncles, aunties, it is impossible to help us…After I die, my brother won’t have to suffer so
much any longer. His girlfriend also wouldn’t break up with him due to this matter…”
A man who earned tens of thousands of RMB per month was already considered very capable.
It should be simple for someone like that to find a girlfriend. Even if he was ill, there would still be a
large amount left behind after deducting his medical expenses.
However, if Little Mi was added to the mix, things would be different.
The nurse’s eyes were red. “Little Mi said that her brother broke up with his girlfriend on his own accord
because he didn’t wish to burden her…”
The doctor also started to cry. “Little Mi, you are still so young. You should study well and after you
grow up, you can follow your elder brother to earn money! Little Mi, you…”
Little Mi rubbed her eyes. “I cannot wait until then. The medicine is too expensive, and my elder brother
cannot endure the expenditure…”
After saying that, she didn’t hesitate and jumped.
Her actions were too sudden. Even the rescuers hadn’t arrived yet!
This was a true case of suicide and not some swindler staging a show to ensure the doctors would give
them free medical treatment.
But at this moment, two figures flashed past.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a glance before running to the edge. After that, Shen
Ruojing jumped down without hesitation!
She increased her falling speed and soon managed to embrace Little Mi.
When in the air, she hugged Little Mi and did a somersault. While she was doing so, she took out a
device that was attached to her waist, and she aimed at the rooftop of the building.
A rope immediately shot out.
That rope would usually be attached to something. But today, there wasn’t anything that could bear
their weight on the roof. When the rope shot to its limit and was about to fall with Shen Ruojing and the
little girl, a pair of strong arms suddenly grabbed it tightly.
It was Chu Cichen!
The cooperation between them was seamless!
He stood with his legs spread apart to stabilize himself. Shen Ruojing and the little girl, in addition to
the force from the fall, were over 200kg, yet he was able to hold on.
At this moment, the other people finally regained their senses. Someone shouted, “Everyone, stop
being in a daze. Let’s help him!”
Hence, a group of people immediately pulled the rope together and slowly hoisted Shen Ruojing and
the little girl back up.
The little girl immediately burst into tears after she was pulled up onto the roof. “Elder sister, why don’t
you let me die? Why?”
After saying this, someone from the side ran over and hugged her. “Little Mi, why are you so silly? Do
you know that only by living on would one have hope!?”
“That’s right. We have the same illness and my family has no money either. My relatives had to sell
their house just to extend my life with the special medicine. But if we chose death so easily, wouldn’t all
the sacrifices made by our families before be worthless?”
“…”
Little Mi was acquainted with the same group of patients suffering from the same gene deficiency. Right
now, this group of people was consoling and persuading her.
This was an expensive illness, but how many people were wealthy in this world?
Even though it cost $7,000 per injection, many were willing to go bankrupt just to live on…
That rope earlier was very thin, and Shen Ruojing felt a fiery pain in her palms due to the rope marks.
But when she stared at the group of people before her, she suddenly felt choked.
She abruptly turned and looked at Chu Cichen, only to see that his eyes were slightly narrowed. He
then spoke slowly, “From now onward, the special medicine produced by the Chu Family will be
repriced at $50 per injection.”
After he said this, the surrounding people fell silent.
Everyone turned and looked at him respectively.
A patient asked, “Is this true?”
There were others who didn’t believe it. “$50? That must be a lie, right?”
The doctor who had scolded them angrily earlier also walked over. He lowered his voice. “What
nonsense are you talking about here? This medicine is imported, so it is very expensive. Even the
Shen Family didn’t look to profit from this back then. Don’t give them false hope if you cannot do what
you say. Who do you think you are? How are you qualified to reset the price for the Chu Corporation?”
