Chapter 570: A Glamorous EntranceTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Aye, I understand how you feel.” The doctor looked troubled. “I want to admit her to let her receive treatment as well, but we have hard rules in the hospital. I can"t give treatment if we don"t receive a deposit. There"s nothing I can do about it.”
A deposit was required in order to be admitted to the hospital. Especially for people like Deng Jiayun, who was on the verge of dying. The cost would be very high. If a deposit was not paid, it would be hard to collect the final amount later on.
“What to do, what can I do!?” Deng Jiayun"s father knew that it was a rule, but he was anxious about his daughter.
A man in his fifties, kneeling on the ground and wailing. Deng Jiayun"s mother had fainted from crying and was lying beside, refusing to get up.
Dan Jingrou could identify with their pain. She took out her wallet and said, “Doctor, how much is the deposit. I"ll pay for them…”
Dan Jingrou had brought quite a bit of money with the intention of helping this little girl.
The doctor was elated when he heard that someone was willing to pay the deposit. As he was about to agree, the chopping sound of helicopter blades came from the sky. Everyone was stunned. Someone suddenly exclaimed, “It"s a helicopter! A helicopter!”
Ordinary people who had not seen a helicopter before rushed out to see when they heard.
Dan Jingrou was stunned too. But she was different from the others. After a short while, Dan Jingrou was overjoyed!
Someone who could arrive in a helicopter, could it be…
“We have hope! Deng Jiayun has hope!” Dan Jingrou shouted and rushed out.
The helicopter slowly landed. When it was quiet again, a lazy voice sounded. “Ah, this aircraft is really uncomfortable—Deng Jiayun is here?”
Just when he spoke, a bunch of people alighted from the helicopter.
Soon, Dan Jingrou saw the figures who had appeared in her mind countless times.
There was a very handsome suns.h.i.+ne boy. The most attractive was his eyes.
Bright like the stars.
Other than Hong Dali, no one else would arrive in a helicopter.
There were two women beside Hong Dali, with one in her twenties. Dan Jingrou knew instantly that she was the popular G.o.ddess, Li Nianwei. She had seen her countless times on videos, but seeing her in person for the first time, Dan Jingrou was star-struck.
“So… so beautiful…” Dan Jingrou, who always had confidence in herself, started to feel small.
The other was a girl of about seventeen or eight years old. She was holding a cute kitten in her arms. The girl looked very innocent and had a pair of big eyes. Her gaze was very kind. She should be Young Master Hong Dali"s fiancée.
“Young Master Dali, h… h… h.e.l.lo,” Finally meeting the legendary prodigal Hong Dali, Dan Jingrou was a little nervous. “Deng Jiayun is here. I… I… I have seen her. She"s very seriously ill…”
Dan Jingrou had imagined this scene in her mind countless times. She had never thought that her first meeting with him would be here.
“Ah, h.e.l.lo, sister. Are you here to see Deng Jiayun, too?” Hong Dali laughed and revealed his white teeth. “Bring me to see her, quickly. Where is she?”
Everyone had realized that this person standing in front of them was the legendary prodigal, Hong Dali. They whispered among themselves, “It"s the prodigal, Hong Dali. He"s here at the right time! Jiayun has hope!””Yes, yes. With Young Master Dali here, Jiayun will definitely be fine!””My G.o.d, heaven has eyes. Jiayun is such a good girl…”
“Young Master Dali, quick, come with me!” Dan Jingrou ran into the hospital"s lobby. “Jiayun is at the lobby. She fainted this morning and has not come to yet. She needs to be admitted but they cannot afford the deposit…”
Now that Hong Dali had arrived, everyone gave way to him.
Hong Dali brought along Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, together with Lucifer and Ling Xiaoyi, who followed along. They walked straight in. Hong Dali asked curiously, “No money to pay for the deposit. Hence, Jiayun could not be admitted?”
“En. Jiayun"s family is broke.” Dan Jingrou explained, “The hospital has rules. They will not admit anyone without a deposit.”
Tang Muxin pouted and said unhappily, “What kind of lousy rule is that? One cannot seek treatment if they don"t have money? People with no money can only wait to die?”
“En, we"ll talk about this later.” Hong Dali nodded, not minding much. “Let"s take a look first.”
Soon, Hong Dali saw Deng Jiayun lying on a first-aid stretcher.
Deng Jiayun"s eyes were closed as she laid there. She was pale and frowned occasionally. Her breathing was rapid. A man who looked like a farmer was kneeling beside her, wiping his tears away. There was another woman lying aside with tears flowing from her closed eyes.
“Poor thing.” Hong Dali sniffled and took out a piece of gla.s.sy jadeite. The jade was the shape of a Guanyin. The workmans.h.i.+p was very rough, it barely looked like a human"s body.
Hong Dali placed the jade Guanyin on Deng Jiayun"s chest and sighed. “En, this should relieve her pain a bit.”
After that, Deng Jiayun"s father asked curiously, “You are…”
“Ah, we"re here to take a look.” Hong Dali smiled. “We heard about Jiayun, so we"re here to see how we can help. Before we came, I made a Guanyin statue. Hopefully, it can bless and protect her to have a speedy recovery.”
His words were simple. But this gla.s.sy jadeite was a Health +7 item. He added enchantment to it and now it had 15 health attribute points. It was pretty strong.
Indeed, once the gla.s.sy jadeite Guanyin was placed on Deng Jiayun"s chest, her breathing seemed much regular, and some color returned to her cheeks.
Miracle, this was a miracle!
Everyone exclaimed: “Oh my G.o.d, did I see wrong? Once Young Master Dali arrived, Jiayun got better!””Yes, yes. Look at the color in her cheeks. She seems much better than just now!””Is Young Master Dali a G.o.d that descended from the heavens? He"s too powerful!”
Dan Jingrou was dumbfounded. She asked softly, “Young Master Dali, this… this…”
“Oh, no problem. It"s gla.s.s.” Hong Dali didn"t care that this gla.s.sy jadeite Guanyin was a piece that could be sold at least 200 million. He turned around and looked at the doctor. “Doctor, I heard that she cannot be admitted if they can"t pay the deposit?”
The doctor sweated profusely.
He never thought this super prodigal would come here in person. Hearing that, he became pale. “Yes… yes. This is the hospital"s hard rule…”
“Oh, it"s like that.” Hong Dali sniffled. “It won"t be in the future. Send her in first.”
“This…” Although Hong Dali was well-known in the whole of Heavenly State, the doctor didn"t dare to move.
No matter what, rules were rules, Hong Dali was Hong Dali. Hong Dali was rich yes, he had to give him face—but the problem was, Hong Dali didn"t offer to pay the deposit!
If Hong Dali didn"t pay for the deposit, it would have to come out of his own pocket. If it were just a few hundred it was okay. But Deng Jiayun was a last stage cancer patient. Regardless of how miraculous Hong Dali was, he couldn"t possibly bring back the dead? If Deng Jiayun had gone through daily chemotherapy and really died in the hospital, who would foot the bill? He was not related to her. That would cost more than ten thousand. There was nothing he could do. Besides, he only had two hundred yuan on him.
Then again, Hong Dali was so well-known. The doctor also thought that with Hong Dali"s generosity, he wouldn"t ask the doctor to foot the bill. He thought of informing the Finance Department to admit this little girl first. Young Master Hong Dali would probably not stand back and do nothing.
As the doctor was about to ask someone to send Deng Jiayun to the ward, a voice sounded. “What is this situation? Why is it so noisy?”
Everyone turned around to see a middle-aged man in a suit coming down from the stairs. His hair was a little messy and he looked very sleepy like he had just woken up. When he stood in front of everyone, he frowned and asked the doctor, “Xiao w.a.n.g, what happened? Why are there so many people here? It"s noisy.”
Doctor w.a.n.g saw his supervisor coming and begged on Deng Jiayun"s behalf. “Director Zhang, it"s like this. This lady needs to be admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy but doesn"t have money. Hence, they are stuck here.”
“Go home if they don"t have money. We"re not running a charity here.” Director Zhang looked at Deng Jiayun, who was lying on the first-aid stretcher, and said condescendingly, “There are too many patients in the world. If they all receive treatment without paying a deposit, when they recover and go home without paying, who am I going to look for? Are you going to give out salaries to everyone?”
Hearing that, Xiao w.a.n.g didn"t dare to say another word.
At that moment, everyone was filled with indignation. Dan Jingrou angrily said, “What are you saying? Did we say we"re not paying? Saving a life is like putting out a fire, don"t you know? Do you have any medical ethics!?”
“Medical ethics?” Director Zhang laughed coldly. “I only know the doctors in my hospital need wages. If I don"t collect money, I won"t be able to give their wages. Without wages, they won"t be able to give proper treatment. They might even go on strike. If the doctors all go on strike, are you going to see the patients? Can you be responsible for any delay in treatment?”
Aye, this Director Zhang seemed to make sense. Dan Jingrou was at a loss on how to respond to him.
How else could he be the supervisor? He indeed had what it takes.
“You!” Hearing Director Zhang use lame arguments and perverted logic, Tang Muxin couldn"t take it anymore. She stepped forward, her face red with anger. “Why are there people like you? It"s just a few thousand yuan. Compared to a human life, you can"t even tell which is more important?”
“Eh, are you related to the patient?” Director Zhang glanced at Tang Muxin. “Can you decide for the patient? If you can, pay the deposit. Get lost if you are not paying!”
