Chapter 1901: 1834 World-Class Hospital (Monthly Ticket 29500 Bonus Chapter ×59)

Section Chief Mao lay in bed, looking at the rain outside the window, feeling increasingly vexed.

After the surgery she had been resting in bed, and whenever her lover urged her to get up and move, Section Chief Mao would fly into a rage.

In the end her lover also gave up urging her to get up and move, just hoping to avoid being scolded. Eventually they hardly communicated at all, because nobody likes being scolded.

Everything was going poorly; even her cavities started acting up, causing a faint pain.

The nanny sat far away; this was already the fourth nanny hired after the surgery. Section Chief Mao also knew hiring a nanny was difficult, so at her lover's pleading, she did not scold the nanny all day this time.

But… she felt so stifled inside!

Section Chief Mao gazed at the drizzling rain outside the window, thinking about events before her illness, and the more she thought, the more resentful she became.

A surge of anger circled in her chest with no outlet, making her whole person extremely agitated.

She stared blankly at the rain outside, and time passed quickly.

Half an hour later, Section Chief Mao picked up her phone.

The drizzle outside the window reminded her of past events. That year, that month, that day, it was just such a spring rain, and she and he had held hands……

After hesitating for a long time, Section Chief Mao did not call Zhao Wenhua; instead she called one of her subordinates.

Zhao Wenhua, that coward, would never amount to anything; even past fondness should have its limits.

Section Chief Mao knew who posed the greatest threat to her—Lin Ge.

During her sick leave, Lin Ge went to the Science and Education Department, wielding Vice President Yuan's big stick and sweeping through. Her own people were suppressed, unable to raise their heads, often complaining to her and expressing their hope that she would return.

Section Chief Mao knew this was merely an attitude expressed by the lower-level staff. If she truly could not return and Lin Ge rose to power, they would defect faster than anyone.

The saying 'local officials are inferior to current managers' holds universally. Now, everyone is in a wait-and-see period.

"How is work now?" Section Chief Mao asked.

"Am I better? I'm asking how work is now—didn't you hear me?"

Section Chief Mao couldn't control her temper; the slightest displeasure made her tone turn sharp.

The other end stayed silent for a few seconds, then immediately reported to Section Chief Mao what Lin Ge had been doing lately.

After hearing it, she felt even hotter inside and snapped, "How could such a big matter not be reported to me beforehand?!"

The other end fell silent, and Section Chief Mao knew this was a silent protest. She weighed it over and over, suppressed her anger, offered a few words of comfort, and hung up.

It's over; Section Chief Mao felt a chill of ice in her heart.

Joining forces with the UK London King's Hospital?!

Such a major science and education project, and it was actually Lin Ge who facilitated it!

No, they'll never pull it off, definitely not. Section Chief Mao muttered to herself, over the years she had always wanted to achieve something, but this kind of international cooperation—without the hospital director stepping forward, and even without the foreign ministry's help—who would bother with the 912 Hospital?

If you're looking for a quack hospital, coming back and saying so would be embarrassing.

But if you truly seek a world‑top hospital, they certainly wouldn't consider the 912 Hospital anything special.

UK London King's Hospital…… Section Chief Mao silently searched for related information on her phone.

Domestically, this hospital isn't well known; only after hearing a subordinate staff member's description did Section Chief Mao momentarily lose herself.

Although she oversaw science and education work, Section Chief Mao usually only took interest in managing trainees, because then she could feel her authority.

She harbored an extreme craving for power, but when it came to genuine academic exchange, Section Chief Mao had no clue.

It definitely wouldn't be a top‑tier hospital; just hearing the name you'd know it's a quack hospital.

But when she opened the site, a line of shocking text caught her eye—'The liver center of King's College Hospital is the world's largest and most comprehensive center for liver disease treatment (especially liver cancer).'

Furthermore, the liver transplant program of King's College Hospital is also Europe's largest liver transplant program.

World's largest, Europe's largest.

These two top‑level introductions left Section Chief Mao dumbfounded.

How could this be a quack hospital? This is absolutely a top‑tier hospital!

Keep reading, and you'll see this hospital alone has won four Nobel Prizes in medicine and biology!

Besides liver transplants and liver cancer treatment, King's Hospital's diagnosis and treatment of motor neurons are world‑leading.

If such academic cooperation could be achieved…… Section Chief Mao could already imagine the radiant smile that would break out on Director Yan's face.

She wouldn't even say to rest a few more months to lay low; even if she returned now……

No, even though the chance of her returning now is slim, she must go back immediately!

Section Chief Mao realized how great a crisis this matter entailed.

What truly threatened her life wasn't Zheng Lao Ban; even if he had an effect, it would be indirect.

Lin Ge, that is her deadly enemy!

If she hadn't secured this project herself, it would be meaningless; she would have to sabotage it by any means.

She must achieve this; otherwise, after she recovers and returns, she will have no position left.

Section Chief Mao understood Director Yan's thoughts all too well.

Stubborn and outdated, the notion of partnering with a world‑top hospital would truly strike straight at Director Yan's heart. Not to mention a mere head of the Science and Education Department—if the project succeeded, Lin Ge would surely be promoted to vice president, and that would come as no surprise.

"Help me up." Section Chief Mao said.

The nanny stared for a moment, then broke into a placating smile, "Do you want to use the bathroom? Number one or number two? I'll get you a chamber pot, okay?"

"I told you to help me up—can't you hear? Are you deaf?" Section Chief Mao's shrill voice sounded like a file scraping on glass, the sharp noise incessant, making people's flesh creep.

The nanny froze.

These past few days the lady of the house has been relatively civil to me—what's going on? What's wrong with my question?!

Section Chief Mao couldn't be bothered to argue with a nanny; nannies are hard to find these days. Moreover, according to her lover, driving away nannies damages her reputation, and once word gets out that she's looking for a nanny, nobody wants to come.

She ignored the nanny and began strenuously trying to sit up from bed.

She can do it, she definitely can!

Just thinking that Lin Ge would someday sit in the head of the Science and Education Department's seat while she herself didn't know which government office she'd be dumped into made Section Chief Mao anxious beyond measure.

She sat up, stretched her legs out of bed, wanting to put on slippers.

The nanny also realized just now; usually when someone says to let her get out of bed she throws a tantrum—today which tendon is twisted?

Can't let her fall; if she gets injured I'm afraid I'm in trouble. The nanny hurried over to support Section Chief Mao; as soon as her hand touched, she felt something was wrong.

"You seem to have a fever." The nanny said softly.

"It's fine!" Section Chief Mao said: "I need to change clothes and go to the office."

"Can you manage?"

Section Chief Mao gave the nanny a cold look; the more she looked, the more displeasing she found her, and she stubbornly got straight out of bed.

But as soon as her foot touched the ground, her leg went limp.

She struggled to maintain balance, but her head still hit the bedside.

With a bang, Section Chief Mao's vision went black and she fainted.
