Chapter 67 Matthew? Screw him!
Mary was taken aback. William spoke as if he truly knew.
‘Can he know about Charles's patients?’ She brooded.
"I understand you're trying to reassure me, but let's hold off for now since Charles is occupied," Mary responded with apprehension.
However, William smiled and asked, "Mary, do you believe in me?"
Mary looked at him skeptically, sensing a newfound confidence. "You're my husband. If I can't believe in you, who can I believe in?" she replied with a faint smile.
In reality, she was also trying to comfort William. In this matter, she was more inclined to believe Jeffrey.
After all, Jeffrey had the wealth, influence, and connections. It was his plea that secured the opportunity for Sarah to see Charles.
But she was afraid that being direct would discourage William, so she could only speak insincerely.
William understood Mary's thoughts. He held her delicate hand and reassured her. "Mary, don't worry. I'll make sure everything is arranged with Charles. Sarah can be admitted tomorrow, and the surgery can be done in a week."
A week later?
But Jeffrey said that Charles wouldn't have time for half a month.
According to William, was Charles spending this half month treating Sarah?
How was that possible?
Mary smiled faintly and said, "Alright, William, I know you're trying to comfort me, but this is something we can't count on. I'll talk to Jeffrey about the specifics. You go and check on Sarah ."
After speaking, Mary lay down, turning her back to William.
William looked at her figure and didn't continue to explain, thinking to himself. ‘Mary, you'll know next week. Your husband is not a good-for-nothing.’
After leaving the hospital, William returned to the company.
Sarah had been with Melissa all this time, and she quite liked children, having a great time with Sarah.
The company's delivery vehicles had all been replaced with BMWs, causing a stir on the internet.
Speed Delivery Company had also become the center of attention for a while.
Countless people speculated. "Who is the boss of this company?"
"So extravagant!"
All BMW motorcycles were definitely the most extravagant!
Even many media outlets spent the whole day camped outside the company, just like those paparazzi.
Fortunately, William was inconspicuous. Even if he passed by them, they wouldn't know that he was the boss of this company.
After spending some time with Sarah, William left the company.
He received a call from Charles, inviting him to have dinner with George.
After some thought, William decided to go.
The dinner was set at Alinea Restaurant.
When William arrived, there were already more than ten people in the private room.
"William." Charles immediately got up to greet him, her face full of respect and a smile.
Most of the people in the private room were Charles's apprentices and attending physicians.
At this moment, seeing their teacher, an internationally renowned medical authority, being so respectful to such an ordinary young man, they were also secretly surprised.
It had been heard that Charles's visit to Lindwood City this time was specifically for someone.
‘I never thought it would be such a young person. ’
‘It seemed that his background was extremely high.’
"Charles, you don't have to be so polite. You are an elder and a medical authority. You are being too modest." William smiled and politely returned the greeting.
The two of them took their seats, with George accompanying them.
After the toasts, Charles directly brought up the topic. "William, this time our Loren Hospital has decided to establish a research branch in Lindwood City, and we hope William can help."
If they could get William's help, it was more than just an investment; the Loren in Lindwood City would be a sure thing.
Loren itself had the strength.
As long as Loren wanted to open, various places would fawn over Loren to get it to open.
However, William was different, and his background was different.
Charles knew it and understood deeply.
As long as they could get William's investment, the future development of Loren would definitely not be limited to the domestic market.
Moreover, Loren Hospital also needed funds for research and development.
And this amount of money needed was huge.
Charles's ultimate goal was naturally this.
William calmly said, "You can discuss this with George. How much money is needed? Just let him approve it directly."
As soon as Charles heard this, she immediately raised her glass with a smile and said, "William, I would like to offer a toast on behalf of the medical community in the country."
With that, Charles drank it all.
This time's funding needs were at least twenty billion dollars!
Loren could come up with this large investment on its own, but it was impossible to come up with it all at once, and it still needed various approval procedures.
So, the development of domestic medicine has been slow compared to foreign countries.
However, since William promised to invest this money, the development of domestic medicine would be accelerated by at least five years!
Five years!
How many hardworking medical researchers and how much sweat and effort do they put in?
Charles deeply understood and knew very well the effort and hardship that each medical researcher had to put behind this tedious research.
So, he was very grateful.
Not only he but also the various apprentices of Charles present were very excited.
They understood that this time, the teacher was inviting them to dinner with a purpose.
They needed to find someone willing to invest twenty billion dollars.
Twenty billion dollars was not a small amount.
Who would be willing to invest money in a medical research project that would not yield returns for five or even ten years?
One by one, they were all excited, raising their glasses to William.
After a while, Charles's excited heart finally calmed down, and he tentatively asked. "William, the amount of money we need this time is huge. Are you sure you will invest in us?"
It was not that Charles did not believe in William, but he was just too cautious.
He didn't want to see hope now, only to face disappointment later.
"How much do you need?" William asked calmly.
Charles found it difficult to speak. "one billion dollars dollars, within five to ten years, perhaps I will not be able to bring any returns to William."
After the excitement, Charles realized that twenty billion dollars was really not a small amount.
Especially at this moment, when he saw William's expression change slightly after hearing the specific amount, Charles's heart thumped.
"Forty billion dollars, but I have a condition. The branch of Loren in Lindwood City can only cooperate with BK Pharmaceuticals, and only through BK Pharmaceuticals' Mary."
Suddenly, William said lightly.
The whole private room was shocked!
Charles was shocked beyond measure, her hands trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she said excitedly. "William, you are really amazing! Your condition is no problem at all! I, on behalf of all my colleagues in the medical field, would like to express my heartfelt thanks to William. This cup. I'll drink it!"
Charles, with his white hair, was extremely excited at this moment.
In the entire private room, all the medical practitioners stood up at this moment, admiringly raising their glasses to William.
After a full meal, everyone was ready to leave.
William went to the bathroom, and as he passed through the lobby, something happened.
A loud shout from behind.
"William? I never thought that you, a poor bastard, would be here too?"
The tone was disdainful, full of contempt.
William frowned slightly and turned to see Matthew walking over from the other side, dressed in a small navy blue suit, looking shiny and exuding the aura of a successful person.
Matthew had been very upset these days, and the last incident had caused him irreparable loss of face.
He had been wanting to find an opportunity to get back at William, and he didn't expect to run into him at Alinea Restaurant today.
It was really a stroke of luck.
William couldn't be bothered with him, a self-righteous person.
So, he turned around to leave.
But how could Matthew let go of this opportunity? He directly blocked William's way with a mocking and provocative tone. "William, now you don't even put me in your eyes. A poor bastard like you, do you think you deserve to eat at Alinea Restaurant? Do you know that the people who come here to eat are all influential and respectable figures?"
"Damn it! Wait a minute, you're not here to work part-time to earn money for Sarah's medical expenses, are you?" Suddenly, Matthew thought of something and laughed, and the look of disdain in his eyes became even stronger.
What a loser.
How could such a person be with Mary?
William looked at Matthew coldly and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Matthew was taken aback, then his face darkened, and he said angrily. "Damn it! You, a useless piece of trash, dare to talk to me like that?"
William's brows furrowed deeply.
‘Matthew, were you asking for it? ’
And at this moment, Matthew, with a very provocative sneer, said, "William, guess who invited me tonight?"
