Chapter 915 - An Explanation
Half an hour later, Wu Jun’s attending doctor, Song Yuan, came out and removed his mask. Wu Jun’s parents stood up from their seats nervously and walked towards Song Yuan. He Duo was closely behind them. Even the hospital’s leaders were also curious about the results.
“Wu Jun is finally out of danger all thanks to Mr. Su!” Song Yuan gave a relieved smile.
Rustle!
Everyone felt relieved, especially Wu Jun’s parents, who were tearing. They both dropped on their knees as they sobbed.
Looking at the elderly couple crying, He Duo also held onto her mouth as she teared up. She couldn’t help praising Su Tao in her heart.
Back in the restaurant, Su Tao treated the couple to lunch, which left a deep impression on He Duo. So Su Tao’s act of saving Wu Jun’s life had caused He Duo to admire him. Someone like Su Tao was worthy of being a doctor, saving lives in the midst of danger with a heart of gold.
As for the hospital’s side, Gong Manjiang also felt relieved. After all, this incident had something to do with the hospital. Although Lei Zheng didn’t work in the hospital, he was still considered a staff member here.
Working part-time wasn’t rare in the hospital. Some children without any medical knowledge would go into administration to acc.u.mulate experience before being promoted. They were mainly here to take wages and do nothing. Gong Manjiang wanted to change this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.
But things would be different if Su Tao cured Wu Jun. It would change the case from murder to a.s.sault.
In the end, Gong Manjiang had to thank Su Tao.
“Where’s Mr. Su?” Gong Manjiang asked with a smile.
“He’s a little tired and he’s resting inside right now.” Song Yuan’s view of Su Tao had changed completely.
He was shocked when he witnessed Su Tao’s medical skills. Who could’ve imagined that the silver needles in Su Tao’s hand would have such magic? Song Yuan still had no idea how Su Tao treated Wu Jun. But he was sure that aside from Su Tao, there wouldn’t be anyone capable of such superb medical skills.
The door opened once more as Su Tao came out with a haggard face. He had consumed a lot of his Qi earlier trying to save Wu Jun.
Wu Jun was in a dangerous condition, and even Su Tao would be helpless if it was a little later. He first used fire cupping to remove the hemorrhage in Wu Jun’s brain before using acupuncture to stimulate Wu Jun’s will to live. It was thankful that Wu Jun had a strong will to live. Otherwise, he would’ve already been dead.
In critical moments, the will of a person plays a vital role.
For example, when an old man was dying and missed his grandson, he could persevere for days before finally dying after seeing his grandson. That was the survival consciousness.
In the process of saving Wu Jun, Su Tao’s medical skills were secondary. It was mainly because of Wu Jun’s strong will to live. He didn’t want to die.
“Thank you!” The elderly woman knelt before Su Tao. “You’re the savior of our family!”
Su Tao immediately squatted down and helped the elderly woman on her feet, “I only guided him. He’s the one who didn’t give up. I think that he must be still worried about you guys.”
The elderly woman’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears as she replied, “He’s a good kid. It’s not easy for him to wander around for so many years. His grandfather is ill and requires a lot of money for treatment every month. Wu Jun has been sending us money for it. But after his grandfather pa.s.sed away and left behind a huge debt, he was the one who stood out.”
In the eyes of doctors, there were only patients with no distinction between good or bad. But Su Tao was relieved to learn that he just saved a filial young man.
“How much debt do you owe?” Su Tao asked.
The elderly woman was stunned. But thinking that Su Tao was her son’s life savior, she didn’t hide it from him, “About ¥160,000. Jun’zi has been working hard the past few years and paid about ¥70,000. It will be completely paid in three to four years.”
Su Tao’s heart felt heavy. Who says that all men were created equal? For example, comparing Lei Zheng and Wu Jun. They were living two completely different lives.
“Mr. Gong, although the patient’s life is saved, I feel that it must be investigated since an a.s.sault was involved.” Su Tao made up his mind to get an explanation for Wu Jun and his family.
Wu Jun’s parents were just ordinary people, and there was no way they could face Lei Zheng. In the end, they would still swallow this matter down.
But Su Tao wasn’t the same. He wasn’t afraid of people like Lei Zheng. Since he ran into injustice, he naturally had to help out.
Especially when he learned that He Duo helped Wu Jun’s family wholeheartedly. He was moved by her kindness. Even an ordinary nurse could step forth. As a physician with some reputation, network, and skill, it made no sense for him to cower.
Furthermore, Su Tao wanted to find a breakthrough in this acquisition, which he just did. Su Tao quickly straightened his thoughts. He was determined to expose the darkness of this hospital so that a reformation could take place.
Gong Manjiang was unhappy when he heard Su Tao’s words. Su Tao might be a National Healer with connection, but what Su Tao wanted to do right now was to blow up the matter.
Although Gong Manjiang wasn’t on the same aside as Lei Zheng and Ma Xiangming, he naturally had to help them instead of an outsider.
For such state-owned enterprises, they emphasized greatly on that. After decades of development, they formed a group among themselves. Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, Gong Manjiang’s father was also an employee in Nonferrous Metals Group for many years. So what he did was equivalent to succeeding his father.
That made state-owned enterprises like hereditary in ancient times. They would follow the relations.h.i.+p between the father and son. If you have no relations.h.i.+p, it would be difficult for you to become a full-time employee. Gong Manjiang’s son would graduate from university in two years. After his son’s graduation, Gong Manjiang wanted to get his son into the corporation. He already asked Ma Xiangming’s father, Ma Yongcai, to help him arrange a job for his son at the headquarters. So Gong Manjiang naturally had to protect Ma Xiangming.
Gong Manjiang smiled awkwardly, “Mr. Su, I don’t think this matter should blow up in my opinion. As for the medical expenses, the hospital will take care of it. At the same time, we will also compensate the patient.”
Shaking his head, Su Tao replied, “This is just your wishful thinking.” The then turned to elderly couple, “Do you guys want to just forget about this?”
“No!” The elderly man looked dull, but he had an unusually upright temper. “The culprit must be punished by law!”
“Don’t bite more than what you can chew. If you agree to the negotiation, I can promise that the compensation won’t be small.” Lei Dong sneered.
“We don’t want it. No matter how much money you offer us.” The elderly man replied solemnly.
Nice one! Su Tao complimented in his heart. If Wu Jun’s parents felt that there was no need to pursue responsibility, then there was nothing Su Tao could do. But now that they wanted to pursue the responsibility, then this matter had to be properly handled.
Lei Dong threw a disdainful glance at the elderly man and sneered, “Don’t take it too far. Since you’re not willing to negotiate, then you won’t be given a single penny. As for what you want to do, it will be up to you. You can go through the legal and illegal method. We’re fine with it.”
“Mr. Lei, how can you be so shameless?” He Duo snapped.
Lei Dong had a faint impression about He Duo. This was a good looking nurse. Waving his hand, he replied impatient, “Xiao He, pay attention to your position. You’re an employee of the hospital. So how can you speak for outsiders?”
“I’m speaking from the standpoint of justice.” He Duo replied and took off her nurse cap. “I don’t want this job anymore.”
“You! You!” Lei Dong was so angry that his eyelids went up.
He never imagined that this young lady would give up on her job.
Lei Dong paid great attention to his face. When he saw that even a nurse dared to rebuke him, he nearly went insane from the anger.
Gong Manjiang frowned. The entire hospital knew about He Duo’s ident.i.ty. If it wasn’t because she had special relations, how would she be able to get into the hospital as a nurse?
Although the hospital had been suffering losses, many people still wanted to get in. The reason why He Duo could make it in was because she had some background.
Then again, He Duo had always thought that she had relied on herself to get into the hospital.
“Little He, resigning doesn’t lie in your words alone.” Gong Manjiang reprimanded. “Don’t be impulsive.”
“That’s right. You’re still registered as the hospital’s employee. If the human resources doesn’t approve your resignation, you won’t be able to go anywhere.” Lei Dong was the same as his son, Lei Zheng. He misunderstood Gong Manjiang’s words and started threatening He Duo.
The registration was a double-edged sword. You would have to put in a lot of effort if you want to find a stable job, and it wouldn’t be easy for you to leave either.
Seeing He Duo fl.u.s.tered from anger, Su Tao looked at Gong Manjiang, “I never expected that the hospital’s management would be so domineering. It looks like there’s a need for me to demand an explanation.”
