Chapter 972: with translation of chapter title

"Send money?" Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment.

"Isn't that so? Do you remember the graft we talked about?" Su Yun asked.

Zheng Ren nodded.

"Now it's been upgraded and replaced; I looked into it and found it quite interesting." Su Yun said with a chuckle: "For example, if you want to bribe a high official who has an unmarried son, the company will find a suitable-age beautiful girl, bring her dowry of millions or tens of millions, and marry her to his son."

This line of thought is truly ingenious; Zheng Ren, following Su Yun's words, found it quite reasonable.

"Then the girl cheats within marriage and is left with nothing. This whole bribery scheme is completely a normal procedure, with no loopholes to be found." Su Yun said seriously: "Actually, it's not that there are no loopholes; it's just that they are hard to find."

"What does Mayo Clinic mean then?" Zheng Ren already had many possibilities in mind.

Su Yun's suggestion is indeed possible.

"Who knows which company has taken an interest in TIPS Surgery. This hundred thousand dollars is just a brick to knock on the door, to win your favor."

"Oh, now my favor is worth this much?" Zheng Ren said expressionlessly.

"It'll be worth even more." Su Yun blew a breath, her black hair hanging over her forehead like it was draped over a pond full of gold coins, radiating a golden glow.

"I don't think so; this is just a normal case, you're overthinking it." Zheng Ren looked at the film, his eyes narrowing.

After a long while, he pointed at the film and said: "There's a problem with the Blood Vessel lining here; how can I doubt that they performed Shou Bing and then the Shou Bing failed?"

"The patient underwent Kidney Artery stenting?" Su Yun exclaimed.

"Hmm, I highly doubt that's the case." Zheng Ren said: "For the consultation, just do this; send that letter over, requesting all the medical records, otherwise I won't accept the consultation."

"Hey, a hundred thousand dollars." Su Yun wasn't really concerned, just reminding Zheng Ren.

"I feel the other party lacks sincerity; if we hastily take it on, problems could arise. Better to be careful to avoid mistakes." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

Su Yun wore a look of looking at an idiot, packing up her notebook.

…

At the same time, Gan Dan Wai Ke.

The hospital bed tilted at an angle, and the little boy bundled in a down jacket was eating a steaming bowl of wontons.

"Mom, you eat too, the meat filling is fragrant." The little boy scooped a wonton with a disposable spoon and brought it to the woman's lips.

"Mom's not hungry, you eat." The woman smiled and refused, "After you finish, you can't drink water or eat food when you sleep at night; tomorrow morning, the best doctor will perform Shou Bing on you."

"Yeah, after the Shou Bing I'll get better." The little boy said, yet he insistently tried to feed the wonton to the woman's mouth.

In the struggle, the wonton fell onto the bed.

Mother and son both froze for a moment; the woman then patted the little boy's head and said, "Eat properly, I'm going to rinse it."

She picked up the wonton from the hospital bed, stood up, and walked out of the ward.

Arriving at the bathroom, she rinsed the wonton with tap water. The skin was slightly torn, a piece of meat filling fell out and landed in the sink.

The woman quickly put the torn-skinned wonton into her mouth, then picked up the filling that had fallen into the sink, rinsed it again, and placed it in her mouth.

As she chewed gently, a burst of meat fragrance filled her mouth. If she hadn't rinsed it with water, wouldn't it be even more fragrant? This thought suddenly popped into her mind.

She felt a bit regretful; eating something this good was simply too extravagant. The child needs to undergo Shou Bing, so supplementing nutrition is most important.

After finishing, she washed her hands, turned off the faucet, and left the bathroom.

Returning to the ward, the woman was surprised to see three sharply dressed men and women standing by the bedside, smiling and talking to the child.

The child was somewhat afraid, timidly looking at these people. When he saw the woman return, he held the bowl and moved slightly.

"Don't spill it!" the woman shouted urgently, her voice a bit loud; she rushed to the child's side and gave an apologetic smile to the patient in the next bed.

"This is the patient's mother, Song Qiu Xiang." One person introduced.

He was the earliest Xinglin Yuan staff member to contact the woman; after gaining her recognition, Xinglin Yuan then began related operations.

"Greeting, Ms. Song. Regarding your son's matter, can we find a Silence place to have a brief chat?" the deputy general manager of Xinglin Yuan asked amiably.

"Oh." Song Qiu Xiang felt somewhat bewildered; she touched the little boy's head and whispered, "Blow on it a bit before eating, so you don't get burned."

"Yeah, I'm an adult now, I know." The little boy said.

Song Qiu Xiang was a bit cautious, taking small steps behind the deputy general manager of Xinglin Yuan as they walked out of the ward.

They hadn't gone far; just in the hallway, the deputy general manager of Xinglin Yuan explained to her the benefits of this Surgery live broadcast.

Simply put, the company will cover all hospitalization expenses, and regardless of whether she recovers, within one month after discharge they will give Song Qiu Xiang 30,000 yuan in cash.

Song Qiu Xiang expressed doubt about this sum of money.

In her view, having a kind soul help her get through the crisis is already a tremendous thing. To be given money after the Shou Bing? How could she possibly accept that? As long as her son gets better, she can take on an extra job and surely make a living.

After the deputy general manager of Xinglin Yuan expressed surprise, he patiently explained the matter to her.

Nationally, there are several hundred similar patients with no place for treatment. Because it's a rare disease, the Shou Bing risk is extremely high, so the Hospitals in their respective cities all say they are powerless.

If this Shou Bing succeeds, the news will surely spread quickly, and similar patients will all come to Hospital 912 for treatment.

This is a good thing; for similar patients, it's a tremendous good thing.

Song Qiu Xiang never expected there to be this reason as well.

But after hesitating repeatedly, she still indicated her refusal of the money. Being exempt from hospitalization fees is already enough; additional gifts cannot be accepted.

The deputy general manager of Xinglin Yuan was utterly helpless.

This money was meant as a contingency in case the Shou Bing failed; I never expected that anticipating an honest person like Song Qiu Xiang would actually put her in a dilemma.

Others had already indicated before the Shou Bing that they would refuse the money; if the Shou Bing truly failed, there would certainly be no delay caused by this money.

After he consulted with Peng Jia, he then reconfirmed, and after Song Qiu Xiang signed, he collected the hospitalization deposit slip and returned the full cash amount to Song Qiu Xiang.

Thereafter, all expenses during the hospitalization need not worry Song Qiu Xiang.

After completing all preliminary preparations, the deputy general manager of Xinglin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. For this risky undertaking, the past two days have seen Xinglin Yuan in chaos.

Now, all that remains is to hope for the Shou Bing to succeed.

The night passed quietly; early the next morning, the sun rose as usual.
