Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 711 - 710 Summoning the Ambassador

"Yes, I understand, I'm sorry for disturbing you, teacher," Johnson replied with solemn respect upon hearing the words.

Ge Dongxu's words seemed almost merciless, but Johnson knew that with Ge Dongxu's medical skills, he had to learn to refuse; he couldn't possibly treat everyone who came knocking.

Just like himself, as a top world expert on tumors, he knew not how many people from around the world wanted him to operate each year, but the ones who actually made it onto his operating table were always just a small portion, with the majority being turned away.

Because he simply didn't have that much energy!

Of course, Johnson could never turn away the wealthy or political figures.

This is the reality of the world; no one can ignore the influence that money and power have, Johnson included.

Just like now, when King Gustadin fell ill and made a request for treatment, probably the whole world's doctors except for Ge Dongxu could ignore his status and refuse without hesitation.

Because not a single doctor could ignore the money and power that Gustadin represented!

This was precisely why Johnson held Ge Dongxu in such high esteem.

Because Ge Dongxu could completely disregard the money and power that Gustadin represented, and Johnson could clearly hear from Ge Dongxu's words that, in his heart, King Gustadin was no different from any ordinary person.

"Johnson, you don't have to apologize. You are from Reel Country, and it's only right for you to make this call for your country's King," Ge Dongxu sought to reassure Johnson without burdening him, and then he hung up the phone.

"Professor Johnson, what did Dr. Ge say? When will he come to Gorme?" King Gustadin asked right after Johnson had hung up the phone.

In his view, inviting any doctor to treat himself, the King of a nation, was an honor for the other party! Of course, the compensation he offered was definitely very generous; no doctor could refuse it.

Dr. Ge, whom Johnson had mentioned, was naturally no exception.

"No, Your Majesty, my teacher refused to treat you. He said that from the moment you turned down the invitation from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, there was no fate between you," Johnson replied with a wry smile.

"He actually refused? Does he not know that I am the King? As long as he can treat me, I am willing to not only agree to a cooperation between Caroline Royal Medical College and their Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital but also to grant him a title and pay him a substantial sum," King Gustadin said, incredulous and even feeling somewhat humiliated upon hearing this.

Reel Country, also a constitutional monarchy, might not match up to the United Kingdom, but it's certainly one of the more powerful nations in Europe. Gustadin was the head of Reel Country and the Commander of the armed forces, enjoying high influence and status worldwide.

As for wealth, it was as high as several billion US Dollars.

"Your Majesty, I think he is aware, but he does not care about those things," Johnson replied.

"No, no, Professor Johnson, you must not have made it clear to him just now. Call him again now, tell him that as long as he can cure my disease, I can pay him ten million Riel, no, even a billion Riel or more," Gustadin gestured dismissively.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I cannot make that call. If I make that call, it would be an insult to him! I am his student, and although you are my King, I cannot insult my teacher because of you," Johnson refused firmly.

KIng Gustadin was clearly taken aback by Johnson's refusal; he stared at him for a while before saying, "Since that's the case, I won't force you, Professor Johnson. I believe the Ambassador from Huaxia Country would be more than willing to do me this favor."

"I hope Your Majesty would better not do that, since he has already refused. Asking their country's ambassador to help would be disrespecting him," Johnson said with a frown.

"I have no other better solution," said Gustadin.

Johnson showed a look of helplessness on his face, stood up, took his leave, and left.

After Johnson left, Gustadin immediately ordered someone to arrange a meeting with the Huaxia Country's ambassador to Reel Country.

The ambassador from Huaxia Country to Reel Country had the family name Liu.

Upon hearing that His Majesty King Gustadin had urgently requested to see him, Liu couldn't help feeling a bit apprehensive, worrying that some major diplomatic incident had occurred, so he hurriedly rushed to the palace.

When Ambassador Liu arrived at the palace, King Gustadin immediately received him. After they exchanged greetings, King Gustadin informed Ambassador Liu about his desire to have a traditional Chinese medicine doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Jiangnan Province treat his illness.

Ambassador Liu was initially very surprised and taken aback by this request, but he quickly became excited.

The King asking for a Chinese medicine doctor to treat him was a great affair indeed!

Of course, in Ambassador Liu's view, not only was this a splendid matter, it was also a minor task that could be easily accomplished.

It was not just about a doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Jiangnan Province, even if it were a National Medical Master, as long as he conveyed King Gustadin's wishes back to the country, the authorities there would immediately arrange for the doctor to come over.

After all, this was a political task involving the relations between two countries!

Of course, for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to go abroad and even treat the King of Reel Country was a matter of great honor, and if it weren't for King Gustadin having already specified his choice, it might have required competition for the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will report this matter to our national leaders today and have them immediately arrange for Dr. Ge to come to Gorme." Ambassador Liu confidently replied.

"Also, please tell Dr. Ge that as long as he is willing to come, I will pay him one million Riel for his trouble, and if he can cure my illness, I am willing to pay one hundred million Riel," said King Gustadin.

Even as an ambassador dealing with the foreign affairs of a nation, Ambassador Liu almost lost his composure and exclaimed out loud upon hearing the figure quoted by King Gustadin.

Because the exchange rate between the Riel Currency and the RMB is about one to five, one million Riel would be five million RMB, while one hundred million would naturally be five hundred million RMB.

For Ambassador Liu, not to mention five hundred million RMB, even five million was a very large sum for an individual.

And five million was merely the appearance fee!

Seeing the undeniable shock on Ambassador Liu's face, King Gustadin felt a hint of pride inside.

He simply did not believe there was anyone in the world who didn't like money!

He did not believe that in the not-so-affluent Huaxia Country, there was any doctor who could refuse an appearance fee of one million Riel, of course, one hundred million would depend on skill to earn.

"Your Majesty, I think Dr. Ge would definitely be very willing to serve you," said Ambassador Liu, after overcoming his shock, immediately.

Now he even began to envy that Dr. Ge!

As for the possibility of Dr. Ge's refusal, Ambassador Liu didn't even consider it.

A matter involving diplomatic relations between two nations, could a traditional Chinese medicine doctor afford to decline?

Moreover, there was so much money to be earned!
