"It's not about the money, it's a matter of principle, you understand? Otherwise, people would think my medical skills are too cheap. Just the other day, some old man surnamed Bai—supposedly some high-ranking official—had the nerve to ask me to treat him, and he acted all high and mighty, as if I owed him something. Treating him was apparently supposed to be an honor for me. I couldn't even be bothered to deal with him, and then he had the nerve to say I didn't know what was good for me.
"You tell me, asking someone for a favor and acting all high and mighty like that—who knows who spoiled them rotten? If you happen to run into any senior leaders, make sure to mention this. Officials like that are bound to be a plague on the common people."
Liu Jianjun's mouth twitched slightly. He knew the high-ranking official surnamed Bai that Chen Mo was talking about, and that man's reputation indeed left much to be desired.
