Chapter 269
Felicia's first decision was to combine the two clinics into one, expanding the floor space and rearranging the layout to use the area better.
When the seasoned physicians heard about their new boss, they were ready to quit. She assessed their skills and, in the end, kept eight genuinely skilled traditional medicine physicians out of the original 15. Her method for keeping them was straightforward—she just doubled their salary.
Once the new contracts were signed, she contacted a construction crew to tear down walls and remodel them. With the layout and wallpaper chosen, renovations began in earnest.
She didn't have to worry about funds. The mine and oil field were nothing less than a massive gold mine!
Felicia didn't have the time to manage the operations herself, and Mike had already anticipated that. Their final agreement was that while she would own all rights to the mine and oil field, the Lawson family would handle all extraction operations. This way, she would collect her share of the profits while the Lawson family managed the entire workforce and equipment.
However, the Lawson family wouldn't do it for free-they would take a 50% share of the revenue.
It was a win-win situation, so she was more than satisfied.
Also, with nearly 200 stores along Archer Street, the monthly rent she could collect was substantial!
She had never thought she could become wealthy by "getting kidnapped".
Whether it was the eight million in compensation from the Chavez family or this windfall from the Lawson family...
Well... She deserved it all.
With the clinic renovations underway, all that remained was the name. Felicia didn't bother with a new sign and kept the original "Union Clinic."
Since Union Clinic was right across from Harmony Medical Center, Harvey heard about it immediately.
When he found out Felicia had actually bought the clinic, he clutched his belly and laughed, "You? Union Clinic? More like a Quack's Shack! A third-rate hole-in-the-wall, trying to go up against Harmony Medical Center? You're way out of your league!" He was gleeful. However, the other senior physicians at Harmony Medical Center were uneasy.
They had seen Felicia's skills
firsthand, and in a real contest, the whole lot of them together wouldn't match her! Some of them were even considering switching over
Working with her, they would learn plenty about medicine. However, if they worked with Harvey... Well, just the thought was embarrassing.
...
Three days later, Union Clinic officially opened.
There were no flowers, red carpets, congratulatory baskets, gimmicks, or fireworks.
Instead, a bold announcement was posted outside.
It read "Our clinic has no bad reviews!"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
How bold did one have to be to claim their clinic had no bad reviews?
Not every illness could be cured; not everyone was that easy to impress!
Even the self-proclaimed "Hippocrates" from Harmony Medical Center occasionally had patients causing a scene!
Harvey laughed at Felicia's
arrogance, pointing at the sign and
shouting, "Brat, you're so full of
yourself! Do you even know your worth? What a disgrace!"
Even the eight seasoned physicians inside Union Clinic were on edge urging Felicia not to be so extreme. She shouldn't have claimed to have no bad reviews-at least she could leave a bit of room for errort
Otherwise, it'd be painful and embarrassing if they got humiliated one day!
But Felicia just smiled, telling them, "Don't worry. I'm here."
The eight seasoned physicians were half-minded about quitting again, grumbling to themselves, "It's because you're here that we're afraid!"
