Medical Center.

Night falls.

Changing room.

"Shall we go to Friends Bar tonight?"

Adam walked in, changing his clothes as he extended an invitation with a smile.

"Did I hear that right?"

Liz exclaimed dramatically, "Is this Adam Duncan extending an invitation to us?"

You must have misheard.

Meredith chimed in, "That's impossible!"

"Um."

George nodded. "It seems we've all been hallucinating and experiencing auditory hallucinations from the bombing."

Cristina laughed as she changed her clothes.

"All-you-can-drink tonight!"

Adam looked at Meredith with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

Meredith retorted, annoyed, "In your eyes, am I just a drunkard?"

"Hehe."

It wasn't Adam laughing; everyone was laughing.

"Okay, even if I like to have a little wine."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Meredith said hesitantly, "Do you think I'd stoop to your money for drinks? I can't afford it."

"Of course I can afford it, but that's not the point."

Adam laughed and said, "The point is that everyone escaped death today, so we have to celebrate properly. You can give us money later."

"On what grounds?"

Meredith immediately objected.

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Meredith inherited Alice Grey's fortune, so it was only natural that she would become quite wealthy.

She is currently an intern doctor, and most of her time and energy are devoted to her internship. The incident where she scratched a patient's heart with her fingernail served as a wake-up call for her, so she rarely gets drunk anymore.

Otherwise, given her alcoholism, if she really drank freely, her family fortune might not be enough to support her drinking like that.

"Today was really dangerous."

After laughing, George sighed.

"Adam, how are you so amazing?"

Liz looked at Adam.

"Not as good as Meredith."

Adam smiled reservedly, "I only feel danger when I encounter it, but Meredith can sense it hours before it even happens. What is that?"

This is the highest realm where the cicada knows the autumn wind before it even blows, and the way of utmost sincerity can foresee the future!

Emmm.

To be more precise: Heaven (the scriptwriter) is giving the protagonist a warning...

After what happened today...

Adam was certain that Meredith was the absolute protagonist.

Despite receiving treatment on par with Mary Sue heroine, Cristina's status is definitely not comparable to Meredith is in the center position.

Nothing more.

She didn't give any warning signs of the crisis.

"I would rather have your ability."

Meredith complained, "My feelings are vague, and I'm not sure at all. Otherwise, Cristina and the others wouldn't have been able to drag me from my bed to the hospital. Unlike you, who just relies on your feelings and knows nothing, yet dares to prevent seriously injured patients from being admitted to the hospital."

"Hehe."

Adam smiled without saying a word.

"Let's go, let's head to Friends Bar!"

Liz changed her clothes and waved.

Everyone got up together and left in groups.

Friends Bar is right next to the Medical Center, just a few steps away. You don't need to drive; you can walk there directly.

"Joe really shouldn't have offended you."

After leaving the hospital building, Cristina glanced at Joe's Bar, which was rather deserted across the street, and said something leisurely.

Everyone followed her gaze and looked over.

"Adam, you certainly have a strong desire for revenge."

Liz sighed.

"What kind of revenge is this?"

Adam shook his head. "If it weren't for having a place to meet up with my friends that's very close to the hospital, saving me the time of leaving the hospital, I wouldn't have even thought about it. It was just something I did on a whim."

"Your casual act has caused Joe's business to collapse."

Liz said with a sigh, "I heard that Joe is planning to close this bar that has been open for more than ten years, sublet it, and find a new place. I don't know what he will do in the future."

"Qiao is a good person."

Meredith couldn't help but say.

"So?"

Adam shrugged and said, "When you save someone first, and then that person stabs you in the back, you're already being lenient by not seeking revenge, are you going to be friends with him and support his business?"

Everyone was speechless.

They were Adam's colleagues and knew the whole story. Putting themselves in his shoes, even if they hadn't saved Joe from under the oncoming car in the first place...

However, as Joe's attending physicians, they should have been able to participate in the famous Stillness Surgery, but Joe directly gave the spot to someone else, which they could not accept at all.

At the very least, I won't go to his bar anymore.

Even if Joe's chubby face is amiable, they will most likely still find it infuriating.

Going to a bar is about drinking, relaxing, and relieving stress; why would you go looking for trouble?

Why think so much?

Adam laughed and said, "I'm not targeting him. We're all in business, it's a market economy, fair competition. If he's capable, he can attract his original customers back."

"..."

Everyone's lips twitched.

Listen, can you hear what people are saying?

You, a capitalist who's not short of money, are competing fairly with a small vendor like Joe?

This is utterly ridiculous!

Even if Qiao has a good business sense, extensive experience, and strives to innovate service models.

But with your massive capital, they can't withstand much of a blow. They'll either be acquired or have their models copied by you, allowing you to squeeze them out with even more capital and lower prices.

The key point is that Joe offended you, and he had no chance to be acquired by you, join you, or work for you.

The moment you decided to make your move, Joe's Bar's fate was sealed.

"If Joe's Bar goes out of business, then Friends Bar will have a monopoly on the bar market in this area."

Cristina glanced at Adam sideways. "You're not going to secretly raise the price later, are you?"

"Hiss!"

Liz gasped in shock, saying, "It's true! The brave young men who slay dragons often end up becoming the dragons themselves. Monopoly is a cancer that corrupts brave young men."

Looks like I'm going to have a big drinking session tonight.

Meredith chimed in, "We have to drink it back, otherwise if Adam turns into a dragon, we bar patrons will definitely be sucked dry without us even realizing it."

"Unconsciously?"

Cristina said slowly, "So what if he's openly sucking your blood? Do you have a chance to resist? We're okay, we can just stop drinking, but you can't, drinking is a necessity for you."

What do you mean by "drinking is a necessity for me"?

Meredith retorted weakly, "Okay, even if I like to have a drink, I can just buy the alcohol and drink it at home."

"Come on! Alone?"

Liz hit the nail on the head.

"..."

Meredith was speechless.

The same drink is sold for several times more in bars than in nearby shops, yet people still flock there, queuing for a long time, and even bribing the doorman to get in. Is it really just for the sake of drinking?

Of course not.

That's for making friends and having fun at the bar!

Shuren Zhou said: Without restraint, the most eye-catching things will be endlessly reduced to pornography, gambling, and drugs.

Wine is a catalyst for lust!

"Of course not."

Adam interrupted with a laugh, "That's how typical capitalists operate. I'm not a capitalist. Opening a bar is just a side job for me. Yeah, it's a place for my friends to relax. Do you think I'm short of money?"

Emmm.

I almost let it slip.

Adam will not use this as an excuse to raise prices.

But as the only upscale bar near the Medical Center, Friends Bar will definitely see a surge in customers.

For him, who wanted to use this opportunity to build connections in the medical field, traffic was everything!

If everyone comes, agrees with the philosophy of Friends Bar, and treats Adam, the owner, as a friend, then Adam's future path in the medical field will be incredibly broad.

P. S.: There's only one chapter at noon, and two more in the evening. Sorry!
