Chapter 388

Hai Cheng, City First Hospital, in front of Jizhen Da Lou.

A black Mercedes-Benz business car slowed to a stop, and several impeccably dressed people got out.

Leading them was a woman whose age was hard to tell. She looked about thirty, but a natural mature and steady aura emanated from her brow, and her every move was graceful and composed.

She didn't rush into the Jizhen Da Lou; instead, she stood outside and surveyed the surroundings.

Hai Cheng's city vibe clashed with her demeanor, yet she showed no extra expression, merely observing in silence.

"Director Lin, is the person we're looking for here?" asked a man in a suit, with a square face and wide mouth.

"Hmm." the woman replied.

The woman was Lin JiaoJiao, Director Lin of Yimei Medical, and the man behind her was a recent prospective business partner, Zhou Da.

The young man driving a Porsche 911 was Zhou Da's son.

Originally thought to be a routine traffic accident, Lin JiaoJiao promptly sent Lawyer Ge to Hai Cheng to handle the related matters.

In Yimei Group's original expansion plan, there was no place for a city like Hai Cheng, but after the previous blindness incident, Lin JiaoJiao took notice of this location.

She inexplicably prepared to set up a branch in Hai Cheng.

Precisely for this reason, she sent Lawyer Ge, who, after learning the brief information, thought of Zheng Ren.

These events seemed coincidental, yet they were inevitable.

No matter how many years Lin JiaoJiao has been away from treating patients in hospitals, no matter how high the profits from her various beauty products, deep inside everyone's heart there is always a soft spot that cannot be touched.

Upon hearing that Zhou Da's son's car accident was caused by blocking an emergency rescue vehicle, she decided to reject Zhou Da's cooperation intention.

A woman who has grown her business to this size over several years could not have done so without being decisive.

Decisive and swift is Lin JiaoJiao's strength; especially for such matters, it is her sore point.

Of course, Zheng Ren is also part of the reason.

Otherwise Lin JiaoJiao would not have taken such a fierce approach; she would have used some mild business means to draw a clear line with the other party.

Zheng Ren, this kid, I didn't expect him to have some guts; Lin JiaoJiao showed a faint smile.

"Director Lin, I just don't understand— a small doctor in Hai Cheng, is he worth my coming personally to apologize?" Zhou Da's voice was somewhat gloomy, like Hai Cheng's smog, making one feel breathless.

"Cooperation is impossible." Lin JiaoJiao said: "But we have had good cooperation before; I cannot watch you court death, just like your useless son."

"Courting death?" Zhou Da flew into a rage.

He did not think that coming to Hai Cheng, the real thing to do was to beg that small doctor who drove an ambulance and ran over his son.

This is merely a business tactic, a demonstration and price pressure by Lin JiaoJiao before discussing cooperation.

But upon arriving in Hai Cheng, Lin JiaoJiao still did not reveal her true intention, which made Zhou Da somewhat irritable.

"Director Lin, you wouldn't really want to humiliate me, would you?" Zhou Da said, staring at the dark, gaping doors of City First Hospital Jizhen Da Lou, his voice cold and grim.

"Humiliate?" Lin JiaoJiao chuckled, "Do you still think this is just a business scheming?"

"Isn't it?" Zhou Da snorted coldly.

Relying on his wealth, wanting to toy with a small doctor from a third- or fourth-tier city to death— isn't that just playing?

Lin JiaoJiao being so mysterious— what is she really after?

"I've said it many times, yet you still refuse to believe." Lin JiaoJiao felt a bit cold, put her hand before her mouth and exhaled, "Before, it was because your son was spoiled by you. You also know I used to be a nurse; people ought to have some reverence."

"Reverence? Heh." Zhou Da sneered.

"You still don't understand the situation?" Lin JiaoJiao said: "Your luck is truly good— you haven't encountered any obstacle for so many years."

"What does Director Lin mean?"

"The ignorant can be fearless." Lin JiaoJiao's voice was as cold as Hai Cheng's winter: "If I were you… never mind, saying more won't save a person who courts death."

"Director Lin, in business, if there's no deal, there's still righteousness; your tone is most inauspicious." Zhou Da's face sank.

What exactly does Lin JiaoJiao mean? If it's for commercial gain, she shouldn't have come to Hai Cheng to "humiliate" someone; doing so brings her absolutely no benefit.

Zhou Da pondered but could not figure it out.

"Old Zhou, some things are really not convenient to say. Actually, if you inquire a bit, you'll easily find out. I can only say this much— are you really not coming in with me?"

"Having come all the way to Hai Cheng, with Director Lin's goodwill, how could I not go take a look to see just what kind of deity this is?" Zhou Da followed behind Lin JiaoJiao, saying no more.

A few people entered one after another, filing into City First Hospital Jizhen Da Lou.

It was the busiest time of the Evening; the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant everywhere, and everywhere were the sounds of patients vomiting and coughing with heart-rending, lung-tearing force.

"Zheng Lao Ban, I'm Lin JiaoJiao. Last time in Di Du, thanks to your help, I happen to have business in Hai Cheng, so I'll drop by to visit."

"I'm in the first-floor lobby; are you in the second-floor Jizhenbingfang?"

"Oh, that's fine; I'll wait for you at the Jizhenbingfang door."

Lin JiaoJiao hung up the phone and took the Elevator to the second floor.

Zhou Da felt doubtful; having come all this way to Hai Cheng, he repeatedly probed Lin JiaoJiao, yet still could not know her true intention.

Could it be that this small doctor has something special about him?

Damn it! Before setting out, I had someone look up this doctor's information, yet still no result!

The efficiency of the people below is truly poor; it seems they've grown complacent from years of peace. When I go back, I must straighten things out.

What Zhou Da spoke of as humiliation, and that resentful expression, are merely a business tactic.

A true businessman is not so easily provoked.

As long as money can be made, anything can be said.

Indeed, he could not see through her; Zhou Da, lost in thought all the way, followed Lin JiaoJiao to the Jizhenbingfang door.

Lin JiaoJiao did not enter the ward; instead, she lowered her posture, standing patiently at the ward's door.

A few minutes later, several people hurried over.

Among them were two young people, one a tall foreigner.

"Zheng Lao Ban, it's good to finally see you." Lin JiaoJiao smiled, walked up, and extended her hand: "In Di Du you said to wait until I recovered to treat you to a meal, but Director Kong said you were always busy there. When you had a break, you flew straight back to Hai Cheng."

Zheng Ren was dazed by Lin JiaoJiao's sudden enthusiasm.

It's already past nine; who exactly is this woman? By rights it should be Lin JiaoJiao who just called, but Zheng Ren doesn't remember this person, afraid of getting it wrong.

Seeing Zheng Ren's clueless look, Lin JiaoJiao felt a bit embarrassed, thinking, could it be that he doesn't know me?

The possibility is small, but it does exist.

"Zheng Lao Ban, I'm Lin JiaoJiao, the Lin JiaoJiao who performed your eye artery opening interventional surgery."

"Oh, it's you." Zheng Ren then pretended to suddenly understand, but in fact he still couldn't recall who Lin JiaoJiao was, only remembering that Shou Bing.
