Chapter 63 Appearance
Chapter 63 Appearance
After seeing Thomas Raven and the group of doctors off, Chen Wenbin ignored the amateur doctors and Londoners waiting on the street. Instead, he had Richard, the housekeeper, come forward and tell them that he would be launching two new drugs soon and asked the public to wait patiently.
The purpose of doing this is, of course, to maintain the mystery and raise expectations. If this free guy isn't marketed, then all that reading of his marketing skills book would be a waste.
Another reason was that he needed to give these two medicines to George III first, creating a "court-approved medicine" label as a gimmick. This would open up the market not only to the British commoners but also to the nobles of Britain and other European countries, saving a lot of time on market education.
Just as Chen Wenbin was about to go upstairs, Anthony, the captain of the guard squad, came in from outside. After hesitating for a moment, he went up to him and said:
"...Sir! I see a woman outside with a little girl who is dying. She says her husband died and she has no money for treatment...She's so pitiful, would you like to go out and see her?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenbin stopped in his tracks, remaining silent as he quietly gazed at the dark-haired Hispanic young man.
Anthony has been in charge of security around him ever since he let a British tax commissioner into the factory.
It has to be said that he is quite suited for this job. He is dedicated and responsible, and is always ready to fight for Chen Wenbin. Since such a loyal person has finally spoken up, we should of course give him face.
So, after confirming that Anthony hadn't received any benefits and was merely moved by compassion, Chen Wenbin thought for a moment, sighed, and asked, "Anthony, tell me, was that woman pretty?"
"Ah? Sir! I..." Anthony's face immediately turned red.
Chen Wenbin didn't let him off the hook, staring intently into his eyes. "I'm asking you, is she pretty or not!"
"...She...is beautiful!" Anthony knew he couldn't hide it, so he quickly admitted it.
"That's good!" Chen Wenbin waved his hand and walked towards the door. "Take me to see her!"
"...Yes!" Anthony was taken aback, then excitedly followed, almost bumping into Boss Chen who suddenly turned around.
Looking down at Anthony, whose face was frozen, Boss Chen said calmly, "...Anthony, this is the first time you've asked me for a favor, so I agreed!"
But my condition for helping you is that you must marry that woman! You must treat her daughter as your own!
If you just want to have a few quickies, get back to your gun and clean it now!
Have I made myself clear enough?
Anthony hesitated only slightly before nodding vigorously, "...Yes, sir! I understand! If she's willing, I want to marry her..."
"..."
Chen Wenbin was speechless. "Does she even want to... Do you think this is a Shakespearean love story?"
Although he had never seen the woman outside, he could tell from the fact that she dared to bring her child to the door to beg for medical treatment despite having no money that she had made some kind of preparation!
What preparations?
Of course, it's using the last of our money to prepare for the child's medical treatment and to buy meal tickets!
Only someone like you wouldn't understand women's psychology, and you even think it requires her consent...
Of course, it's also possible that the woman just randomly picked a little girl on the street who was about to die, hoping to make money off her sympathy. If that were the case, the problem would be much easier to solve.
"...Let's go! Let's get out!"
Mr. Chen originally didn't want to show up at this time, but firstly, Anthony begged him, and secondly, this public act of providing medical assistance could actually improve his reputation and prestige among the public... From a profit perspective, it wasn't a loss.
Cough cough! Sometimes he felt that he was similar to Yue Buqun, a ruthless reputation harvester who could accurately find ways to reap the greatest fame with the least cost.
"...Your Excellency! Why are you out here? Didn't you say...?"
After Chen Wenbin led Anthony and three guards out of the mansion, they encountered the surprised old butler Richard.
Dr. Chen raised his hand to interrupt him, "I heard from Anthony that a lady's child is very ill, so I came out to take a look!"
Richard glanced at Anthony, whose expression seemed somewhat unnatural, and nodded, saying, "...Yes, sir! I'll have Jeff and the others come to protect you right away!"
He and the entire Courtes mansion have now been lent to Chen Wenbin by old Joseph, so naturally Chen Wenbin can do whatever he wants.
"...Is that Dr. Robin Chen?"
"He's so handsome!"
"The newspaper said Dr. Chen is from Seres! From the East! It must be him!"
"Dr. Chen! Thank you so much for discovering allicin! My son survived! God bless you!"
"Look this way! Dr. Chen! I'd like to invite you to my home!!"
"The doctors from the London Medical Association have just left. Dr. Chen, do you have anything to say?"
Upon spotting Chen Wenbin, the crowd gathered at the entrance excitedly approached him to speak. Judging from their attire, most of them were respectable gentlemen…
That's quite normal. Mayfair is a wealthy area. If a poor, disheveled person shows up here, the Westminster suburbs patrol will come and chase them away!
And it's not even 2 p.m. yet. The real poor people in London are all busy working in their various workshops at this time!
Chen Wenbin glanced around and saw that the surrounding streets were full of people, perhaps thousands. Dozens of "Bao Street Cavalry" wearing red vests, blue overcoats and blue riding breeches, as well as sheriffs in black coats and carrying batons, were trying to maintain order.
After Chen Wenbin came out, he stood on the steps at the door without saying a word. This was his first public appearance in London, so he had to leave a deep first impression and create the most favorable persona... In short, he was going to show off his acting skills!
Fortunately, this is not a difficult task for Chen Wenbin, who is now in complete control of his body.
Silence always gives people strength. When you don't know how to speak or how to face a difficult problem, silence is the best weapon.
Chen Wenbin remained silent for five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds... until the surrounding crowd gradually quieted down, and people further away also reminded him to shut up, before the divine doctor Chen finally spoke slowly.
"Good afternoon, citizens of London! Gentlemen and ladies!"
His voice was louder and deeper than usual, and his London aristocratic accent, which he had deliberately practiced to imitate Diana's, made everyone who heard it listen with serious expressions.
"...As you can see, I am the doctor from North America that you are discussing, Robin Chen!"
I am honored that you all came here to welcome me. I think I have felt the warmth of Londoners!
However, the weather in London in January is indeed unpleasant; the air is damp and chilly, making it easy for people with weaker constitutions to fall ill. As a doctor, I sincerely advise that unless absolutely necessary, you should return to the warmth of your home as soon as possible and enjoy dinner with your family!
