Zhang Han felt like he had been scammed.
The clinic he entered was just a private one, and the storefront didn't look big. But from the moment he walked in, he underwent various examinations. They drew three syringes of blood, and then took an X-ray of his finger.
After more than an hour of busy work, all the examinations were finally over. Then a sweet-looking lady came out and spoke to Zhang Han and the others very kindly.
"The test results will take half an hour. We are truly sorry, please wait here for a moment. Once the results are out, we will immediately arrange for you to meet with Doctor Hara."
The doctor's name was Hara Shigemine.
"We won't be tricked, will we?"
Although it was Ochiai who helped find the doctor, Zhang Han was still a bit uneasy. Logically speaking, the workflow of a clinic was quite different from that of a hospital. But the clinic run by this Doctor Hara had a process that was almost identical to hospitals on the mainland. Zhang Han even suspected that if he really had something wrong, the other party might directly arrange for him to be hospitalized.
He just didn't know if this clinic was qualified to admit patients.
"High-end clinics nowadays handle unfamiliar patients this way."
Takashima Rei, on the other hand, had a look of being accustomed to it, as if she had seen this kind of thing countless times. With her family's influence, she probably had a dedicated private doctor.
"I just wonder if the examinations here are expensive?"
"Then you don't need to worry. These examinations are all free; they are just for creating your file."
Takashima Rei looked at Zhang Han curiously. "I calculated it for you in the car. Just your scholarship and advertising income alone are almost eight or nine million, right? Even after paying tuition, you shouldn't be this poor?"
When Zhang Han mentioned this, he felt particularly wronged.
"You know, I've been poor since I was little. A portion of my income has to be handed over, and the rest I've invested."
"You also invest?"
"Isn't financial management like this? If you don't manage your finances, your finances won't manage you."
"Then what did you buy?"
"A house."
Takashima Rei never dreamed that Zhang Han would give her such an answer.
"Buying a house now, there's not much room for appreciation, is there?"
Houses in Tokyo had already skyrocketed. Coupled with some policies, investing in real estate in Tokyo actually yielded very little profit.
"It will definitely still rise."
Zhang Han said with great confidence.
"How do you know?"
"Because I bought it!"
Zhang Han didn't have the time or energy to constantly monitor his investments. In the end, he weighed his options and still felt that buying a house was the most reliable. Even if it couldn't appreciate quickly, it generally wouldn't have a problem maintaining its value. Of course, the location of the house was also particularly important.
It couldn't be those small fourth or fifth-tier cities, where population loss was severe. Who knew what the future held? Even now, in some places, an 80-square-meter house could still be bought for two to three hundred thousand. Did such a house have any value?
Certainly not.
So Zhang Han gritted his teeth and spent 5 million, paying a down payment for a 130-square-meter apartment. The monthly repayment was 120,000. This house was, of course, for investment, and also a guarantee Zhang Han left for his mother. If he couldn't make a living here in the future, he wouldn't return to his hometown with nothing. A 130-square-meter house in Tokyo could, at least, be exchanged for a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment and a small shop somewhere else.
Unexpectedly, Takashima Rei felt her eyes welling up. Everyone's upbringing and environment were different. Like her, she had never worried about such things. But Zhang Han was different.
Zhang Han, who had relied on his mother and sister since childhood, carried a strong sense of responsibility. The first thing he thought of after earning money was to settle his family. The three years of scholarship and advertising income just about covered the expenses for Zhang Han's house.
"Does this move you?"
Zhang Han looked at Takashima Rei and asked with a smile.
"You child!"
Takashima Rei was indeed very moved.
"Seeing you so moved, why not increase my scholarship? Otherwise, this doctor's visit..."
"What are you thinking? One thing at a time."
Takashima Rei retorted unceremoniously. As expected of a capitalist's daughter, when it came to money, her face immediately changed.
"Do your family members know about you buying a house?"
"Why tell them..."
Zhang Han turned his head away, avoiding the topic.
"The results are out. Please follow me to see Doctor Hara."
It was that beautiful lady again, who came out to inform the three of them. Kataoka, who had just returned from the restroom, along with Zhang Han and Takashima Rei, went to Doctor Hara's office.
Ochiai was already waiting in the office. Three of the four giants of the Seido High School Baseball Team had accompanied Zhang Han for his examination. This level of importance was truly unprecedented.
"Are the results out?"
"They're out. Doctor Hara is looking at them."
Hara Shigemine frowned as he looked at the lab report, then held the X-ray film up and looked at it for a long time. His expression was unusually solemn.
Takashima Rei and Kataoka's heartbeats quickened nervously. Did the doctor's expression mean that Zhang Han's condition was not optimistic?
Zhang Han, however, was relatively calm. Doctor Hara gave him the same feeling as the doctors at the health clinic in his hometown. Perhaps mainland doctors, due to high work pressure and seeing many patients, never had very good expressions. For them, as long as they didn't lose their temper, it was already a good expression.
"Is there a problem?"
After the previous lesson with Chris, Kataoka had a natural aversion to such matters.
Doctor Hara then noticed that Zhang Han and the others had arrived.
"I'm truly sorry for keeping you waiting. But there are some procedures we must follow. I'd like to ask, is this X-ray film the patient's?"
"Yes..."
"You're not joking?"
"Of course not."
"From the results, the person in this X-ray is as strong as an ox. What illness are you here to see a doctor for?"
