Chapter 109: Owe Cheng Lin a Favor!

The hospital management's attitude toward Tang Yu has completely reversed!

Unsurprisingly, there is a mysterious force working hard in the shadows!

Tang Ye thought it over and concluded it must have something to do with Cheng Lin.

Consequently, he dialed Cheng Lin's phone number.

"Little Tang, is something the matter?"

"Sister Lin, I want to confirm something with you."

"What is it?"

"Did you put pressure on the hospital? The City Bureau leaders and Dean Lu both came to visit just now. They promised my dad a bunch of things. Once my dad was in a good mood, his headache vanished, and he's now insisting on going to the department to do rounds."

Cheng Lin let out a soft laugh.

"I merely reflected your uncle's achievements to the relevant departments. If necessary, I can help contact hospitals in the province. With his level and seniority, a bunch of hospitals would fight over him; if he transferred, he would at least be a Department Director, and his salary could double several times over."

Tang Ye had long sensed that Cheng Lin's background was unfathomably deep.

How could a thirty-two-year-old Deputy Division Level Official be an ordinary person?

"I'll ask him. However, he is a person who values relationships deeply; he probably wouldn't want to go work in another city."

"Your whole family values relationships; I envy you for having such parents." Cheng Lin realized the topic had veered off course and hurriedly returned to the main point, "Given your uncle's ability, he should also be able to achieve something at the City People's Hospital. Nowadays, major hospitals across the country advocate for technical talent to take on important positions."

Tang Ye sighed with emotion, "My dad's ability is definitely not a problem; he just lacks the opportunity."

Cheng Lin said confidently, "The opportunity will definitely come."

"I'll take your word for it!"

Given Cheng Lin's personality, what seemed like a casual remark often ended up being fulfilled.

Could it be that Cheng Lin is already secretly maneuvering for his dad?

If that were truly the case, he would owe her a huge favor.

This also deepened the sense of guilt in Tang Ye's heart.

His initial idea to get close to Cheng Lin had been too utilitarian.

Now, Cheng Lin has silently done so many things for him without asking for anything in return.

Aside from his parents, who else would give so unreservedly for him?

Cheng Lin is clearly so wonderful; why does her husband not cherish her at all!

And his own timeline is out of sync with Cheng Lin's.

Why must they meet at the wrong time!

Tang Ye and Cheng Lin are the same type of person.

They place their careers and reputations in very important positions.

It is impossible for them to ignore the eyes of the world, nor could they do anything that violates morality.

Therefore, in their relationship, both of them maintain a warning line they will not cross.

Cheng Lin hung up the phone with Tang Ye, a look of relief appearing at the corners of her mouth.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a person who finds it difficult to get close to others.

Even Song Mingyu, who counts as her best friend, is someone Cheng Lin still keeps at a distance in her heart.

As for her husband, Cheng Lin could describe him as a stranger.

But, Tang Ye possesses a very natural affinity.

Even though she knows that his reaching out to her, currying favor with her, chatting with her, and teasing her to make her happy are all done with a purpose.

Yet, after a year, it has unconsciously formed a habit or even a dependency.

Cheng Lin knows there is a problem with her state of mind.

She has also tried not to contact Tang Ye.

But, every time Tang Ye sends her a message, her defenses always crumble easily.

When the night is deep and quiet, she sometimes wonders what Tang Ye is doing at this very moment.

She is no longer a young girl, but her feelings are extremely similar to a young girl's first stirrings of love.

Cheng Lin has always tried hard to control the wild grass growing rampant!

But, desire is like the spring rain and dew, penetrating everywhere, moistening things silently!

……

The next day was Saturday.

Tang Ye knew Sun Hai was coming to visit, so he rushed from home to the hospital ward early in the morning.

Not long after, the television station reporters arrived.

They set up the tripod and adjusted the camera lens.

Qin Lan helped Tang Yu tidy up his appearance.

Although Tang Yu is over fifty and often stays up late, he does not look old; he is of moderate build, gentle and refined.

"Director Tang, I will ask a few questions in a moment. Please relax; they are all very simple questions. It doesn't matter if you stumble or make a mistake in your answer; just keep going, and we will edit it later."

"Alright, sorry for the trouble."

This was Tang Yu's first time accepting a television interview, so he appeared very nervous.

Reporter: "Director Tang, may I ask why you chose to prioritize postponing a scheduled surgery to go and save an emergency patient at that time?"

Tang Yu: "I analyzed it at the time; if I didn't perform the emergency surgery, the pregnant woman and the child would likely not have survived. A pregnant woman's physical indicators are different from an ordinary person's. I had a successful case before, so I was more confident in performing the surgery than others."

Reporter: "How did you feel when you were assaulted by the patient's family?"

Tang Yu: "I felt low and very hurt inside. The father's surgery had been very successful, and I had finished all the other postponed surgeries; I was physically exhausted at the time. I even wondered if this profession was worth sticking with. However, the pregnant woman's husband came to thank me specifically the next day. I felt it was all worth it."

The reporter then asked Tang Yu a few more questions.

Tang Yu answered quite concisely.

"Thank you, Director Tang. We will edit your interview as soon as possible; it is expected to air tomorrow night."

"You have worked hard."

"I have one more presumptuous request: could you provide your contact information?"

"Of course!" Tang Yu recited his number to the Reporter.

For the Reporter, getting to know an Expert like Tang Yu was a precious connection that could save a life at a critical moment.

……

Not long after the Reporter left.

The door was knocked, and Sun Hai walked in carrying a fruit basket.

Du Xi and Liu Fang followed behind him.

Tang Ye smiled and introduced them to Tang Yu, "These are my friends, Sun Hai, Du Xi, and Liu Fang."

"Uncle Tang, we heard you were ill, so we came to see you." Sun Hai smiled and set down the fruit basket in his hand.

Tang Yu smiled and said, "You are all quite busy with work; I feel bad for making you take this trip."

"Please don't say that; it is only right. Last time my aunt fell, it was you who helped find an Orthopedics doctor."

Tang Yu realized, "Oh, I remember now. Your aunt came to see me a few more times after that."

Sun Hai said awkwardly, "My aunt is quite forward. If she looks for you again next time, help if you can, but if you can't, just ignore her."

Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

His gaze swept toward Du Xi and Liu Fang; both girls were quite pretty, especially the thin and tall one.

Du Xi acted very reserved; she knew Tang Ye's father was injured and was very anxious, wanting to visit, but felt it would seem abrupt to come alone.

After much thought, she still let Sun Hai lead her over.

Du Xi noticed that Qin Lan had been observing her the whole time.

She, who was usually poised and natural, felt somewhat constrained.

"Uncle, let me peel an apple for you."

Du Xi volunteered and picked up an apple.

She peeled it very quickly, removing the skin in the blink of an eye and cutting it into pieces.

Qin Lan ate a piece first and handed it to Tang Yu, "The apple is quite sweet. You try some!"

Tang Yu took a bite, and it was so sour it made his teeth ache, but he didn't point it out!

Afterward, they chatted for a few sentences, and the three of them took their leave.

Tang Ye saw them off.

Tang Yu asked Qin Lan in a low voice, "Which girl left the hairpin?"

Qin Lan smiled and said, "The girl who peeled the apple for you! I almost didn't recognize her either! I've seen her high school graduation photo; she was very dark back then, a big difference from today. She isn't wearing makeup, but her skin is very fair, her brows and eyes are delicate, and her gaze is very lively. I like the heroic spirit between her brows; she is especially free and easy."

Tang Yu was surprised, "No wonder you said that sour apple was sweet!"

Qin Lan ignored Tang Yu, picked up her phone, and dialed a friend's number.

"Old Tang was interviewed by the TV station today; it will air tomorrow night, so remember to watch it!"
