Chapter 1412: About How Much Money Is Needed

"Ah? Director Wang, then... then about how much money is needed?" Upon hearing that the costs would be very high, Zheng Jie asked with extreme anxiety and unease.

"This, it's hard to say for now. It still depends on the treatment situation. I estimate that it definitely won't be a small expense. For a family like yours that earns a salary, it might be quite difficult to bear," Wang Pangzi said, playing hard to get and psychologically putting pressure on Zheng Jie.

"Then... then can't medical insurance reimburse a portion?" Zheng Jie placed most of the funding source for Zhao Da's treatment on Zhao Da's paid leave salary and medical insurance.

"That's right, medical insurance can reimburse a portion, but it can't reimburse everything. I'm talking about the remaining portion that can't be reimbursed. For a family like yours, Xiao Jie, I'm afraid that portion will also be very difficult to bear." Wang Pangzi's eyes glowed as he stared straight at Zheng Jie's pretty face, further putting psychological pressure on her. Seeing that her expression had become extremely anxious, Wang Pangzi felt that saying it like that wasn't enough, so he continued to add, "And look, I'm currently helping you drag out the hospitalization fees for your husband and child, but this isn't a long-term solution. The hospital isn't just mine, after all. You have to find a way to pay the hospitalization fees in the next two days, Xiao Jie. You need to hurry up and raise the money."

Zheng Jie was completely fooled by Wang Pangzi, her entire brain buzzing. As a weak woman, she had never encountered such difficulties, and having them placed in front of her all at once really left her a bit caught off guard and at a loss, not knowing what to do. She looked solemn, thinking about something in a daze.

"Xiao Jie, I'm just giving you a heads-up in advance. I know that as a woman, the pressure of facing such things is very great, and I also want to help you as much as possible. Don't be so gloomy." As Wang Pangzi said this, he moved closer to Zheng Jie, reached out a hand, and without any hesitation, placed it on Zheng Jie's shoulder, pretending to pat her gently to comfort her. His lecherous eyes observed the changes in Zheng Jie's expression while occasionally looking at the patch of snow-white, fragrant skin at her neckline. The unique body scent wafted into his nose, making Wang Pangzi feel almost intoxicated. The unique charm exuded by a mature young woman was igniting his passion.

Regarding Wang Pangzi's action of placing his hand on her shoulder, Zheng Jie didn't react at all, because at this moment, she still hadn't sensed Wang Pangzi's true intentions, thinking he was a good person comforting her. She turned her face, her brows furrowed with heavy thoughts, her beautiful eyes looking incomparably blank, her expression extremely worried, and said, "Director Wang, I will try my best to raise the money. Can you... can you help me drag it out for another period of time? I definitely won't owe the hospital for the hospitalization and medical fees, it's just that the matter is too sudden, and I can't come up with so much money all at once."

"Xiao Jie, I know this matter is quite difficult for you to handle all at once. I will try my best to help you drag it out, but this isn't a long-term solution. Dragging it out for a few days is fine, but it definitely won't work for a long time. However, as long as you are willing, I can help you waive all the hospitalization and medical fees." Wang Pangzi finally got to the point. The hand on her shoulder also slid maliciously along her back to her waist, gently wrapping around Zheng Jie's soft willow waist, his eyes looking lecherously into her eyes.

Wang Pangzi's actions and the subtle change in his expression, as well as the meaning behind his words, immediately made Zheng Jie vaguely understand his meaning. As a traditional woman who valued her chastity, her first reaction was to move to the side in a panic, keeping a distance from Zheng Tulu, looking at him nervously, and saying uneasily, "Director Wang, you... what do you mean?"

"Xiao Jie, don't you understand what I mean? Then let me be more direct. Xiao Jie, I'll tell you the truth: from the moment you came to the hospital yesterday, you made me feel like my eyes had lit up. From the first moment I saw you, I liked you. However, I am also a man with a family, and you are also a woman with a husband and child. We definitely can't have any special relationship, but I really like you. As long as you, Xiao Jie, can follow my arrangements while Zhao Da is hospitalized, I guarantee to arrange the best medical resources to treat your husband Zhao Da, and you don't have to worry about the medical and hospitalization fees at all. How about that?" Wang Pangzi simply stood up, pacing back and forth in front of her unhurriedly, his lecherous eyes staring straight at her, observing the changes in her expression.

"Director Wang, you... what kind of person do you take me, Zheng Jie, for! That's impossible!" Zheng Jie looked a bit agitated, glared at Wang Pangzi, and turned her head away.

Seeing this, Wang Pangzi discovered that although she showed resistance, she didn't get up and leave in a fit of anger, but was still sitting dignifiedly on the sofa. Could it be that this wasn't a sign that there was still room for maneuver? Also, although Zheng Jie's reaction looked very intense, that was also the first reaction of a normal woman when facing such coercion and inducement. But at the same time, Zheng Jie was still feeling overwhelmed by the problem of medical and hospitalization fees. At this moment, Wang Pangzi had suddenly thrown out such a solution that could solve these problems, so how could Zheng Jie not be tempted? "Xiao Jie, I didn't take you for anything, and you shouldn't misunderstand. On the contrary, I admire a woman like you. Your husband and daughter are both hospitalized, so you must be very tired on your own. Look at these dark circles under your eyes, you definitely didn't blink all night last night, right?" Wang Pangzi said unhurriedly, then walked up and sat down next to Zheng Jie's body, again not minding at all as he placed his hand on her fragrant shoulder, using both soft and hard tactics, appearing incomparably concerned for her.

These words of Wang Pangzi's struck a chord in Zheng Jie's heart. From the time she entered the hospital yesterday until now, she had been taking care of her husband Zhao Da and her daughter Nini, cleaning up their excrement, and was so busy that she hadn't even eaten a hot meal, just picking at a few mouthfuls of the leftovers her daughter Nini had eaten. Her whole body was sore and painful, and her eyes were aching to death. She had been holding on, and being asked this by Wang Pangzi, she felt extremely aggrieved, a sour feeling surged into her heart, her eyes instantly turned red, and she sighed aggrievedly, "Why is my life so bitter?"

"Alright, Xiao Jie, don't be sad, it's fine, isn't I here?" Wang Pangzi seized the opportunity, "stepped forward," and took the chance to hug Zheng Jie directly, pretending to be concerned.

Zheng Jie thought a lot, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. She swept a glance at Wang Pangzi with the corner of her eye, thinking about the request he had made, feeling incomparably conflicted. If she agreed to him, she would become a loose woman who betrayed her husband, but she could solve the money problem. If she didn't agree to him, where would she go to raise the money? This time, she was hugged by Wang Pangzi around the entire shoulder, and she didn't make any reaction, her brain making a difficult choice. Wang Pangzi saw that Zheng Jie was hesitating, so he took advantage of the situation and continued to fool her: "Xiao Jie, you don't need to think too much. Only you and I know about this, and you don't need to have any concerns. With my ability, I definitely won't let you have any economic pressure in your life. I will also find a way to help you waive your husband and daughter's medical and hospitalization fees. It's all things that are beneficial to you. Besides, your husband Zhao Da is lying on the hospital bed unable to move now, and it will take at least several months for him to get better. You are also a normal woman, and you also have needs in that regard. We each take what we need, and we don't affect each other. Isn't this a very good thing? You should think about it carefully." Wang Pangzi continued to psychologically dismantle Zheng Jie's hesitation.

Facing her husband Zhao Da lying on the hospital bed with injuries all over his body, and at the same time her daughter Nini having a fever and being hospitalized, which caused her to take a long leave and almost lose her job, Zheng Jie had already suffered a great blow psychologically and was facing great pressure. Although Wang Pangzi's intentions were not upright, his ideas caused Zheng Jie, who had always guarded her chastity, to waver psychologically. With a solemn and shy expression, she thought carefully for a long time, then slightly turned her head to ask Wang Pangzi: "Director Wang, are... are you saying all this true?"

Seeing that Zheng Jie had wavered, Wang Pangzi's hand that was wrapping around her waist began to touch her restlessly, and he said with extreme seriousness: "Xiao Jie, of course what I said is true. Do you think I, a dignified director of a large hospital, would lie to you? Can't I even handle the small matter of waiving medical fees? I am a person with a straightforward temperament. Xiao Jie, anyway, your husband Zhao Da definitely won't be able to do that with you within a few months. If you are with me, I won't require you to come and find me every day, just come when I need you. We each take what we need, and we don't affect each other. Isn't this very good? What do you think?" Wang Pangzi showed off his superb skills in appreciating beauty. He wasn't in a hurry to push Zheng Jie down on the sofa to engage in illicit acts, but rather moved to stir her heart with rhythm and measure. Just as he discovered that Zheng Jie was at a loss and her spirit was a bit trance-like, a large hand gently grabbed her small hand, and then he stroked it with care, saying: "Look, does this hand still look like a beautiful woman's hand? At a glance, you are a diligent woman. It seems you are the one who handles everything inside and outside the house. How is it? Are you tired at work? It must be very difficult to encounter such a thing, right? Don't be afraid, I am here."

Head Nurse Liu, this flirtatious woman, had her arrogant momentum clearly suppressed by Zhao Desan's presence, and she was still maintaining her dignity as a head nurse in a strained way. She glanced at Zhao Desan and sneered: "It's only right and proper to pay for medical treatment. The hospital is not a charity. For these people who have no money to be hospitalized, do I still need to be polite?"

Zheng Jie had been hiding behind Zhao Desan without speaking. Hearing this woman in a white coat who claimed to be an angel in white insulting her, she hurriedly retorted emotionally: "I just don't have money now, I didn't say I wouldn't pay the medical and hospitalization fees, you... don't look down on people!"

The woman in the white coat glanced at Zheng Jie, who was anxious, and gave a cold "hum" laugh, saying unhurriedly: "Then what nonsense are you talking about? Go pay the fee."

Seeing Head Nurse Liu's look of looking down on people, Zhao Desan had originally come at noon to bring some fruit to Zhao Da and his daughter, and by the way, to see Zheng Jie. But seeing this scene, he was determined to stand up for them today. Immediately, Zhao Desan stuffed the fruit in his hand into Zheng Jie's arms, looked at Head Nurse Liu with a look of contempt, and hummed: "Isn't it just paying a fee? No matter who pays it, it's fine as long as it's paid, right?"
