Chapter 22: It Was Just a Lucky Guess

"If even the experts have no way to handle it, how could he possibly fix it with a few needles?" Li Yuan said disdainfully. "She will definitely have a relapse later."

"Hurry and get them to leave; the leaders from above are coming for an inspection." Zhang Lei received a text message, his expression changing slightly. "Don't let them stay here and affect our hospital's image."

"Yu Fan, take your wife and leave quickly; don't stay here and affect us." Li Yuan waved her hand as if shooing away trash.

"Leave? I'm afraid it's not that easy," Chen Yu smiled.

"What, you still want to do something?" Zhang Lei said in a rage.

"Hmm, you are the Department Director of Internal Medicine; you haven't forgotten what you just said, have you?" Chen Yu sneered. "The poor deserve to get sick, and if they have no money, they should just go home and wait to die, as urns are cheap. Have you forgotten those words?"

"I want to ask your leaders from above in person: as a doctor, a doctor with medical ethics, is it appropriate to say such things?"

"You surnamed Chen, what right do you have to say such things?" Li Yuan said angrily. "Do you think you can just see the leaders from above whenever you want?"

"Sorry, but I really can see them whenever I want," Chen Yu sneered.

"Where are the security guards? Throw these two people out." Li Yuan was asking Zhang Lei for favors, so she was eager to show off.

Several security guards from the hospital's security department immediately ran over. Li Yuan pointed at Chen Yu and the others and said, "Hurry and throw these people out! The leaders from above are coming soon. If he causes trouble here and offends the leaders, can you take responsibility for it?"

"Chen Yu, let's go. Li Yuan, we were all classmates, there's no need to blow things out of proportion, right?" Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Yu Fan hurriedly stepped forward.

"Classmates? Who is a classmate with you? Can you get me a permanent position? Can you introduce me to the leaders from above? Can you get me a formal staff position in the hospital?"

Li Yuan sneered, "No. You are just trash lingering at the very bottom of society, so stop talking about being classmates here. Get out immediately."

"You're not leaving, are you? Drag them to the security office and teach them a lesson. I don't believe they can actually rebel," Zhang Lei said angrily.

"What's going on? What happened here?" A hospital president walked by with several leaders from the medical system, among whom was Zhou Chi.

"President Li, these patients can't afford the fees and are causing trouble here," Zhang Lei said hurriedly. "I am having my colleagues in the security department resolve it."

"Resolve it quickly. President Zhou is here for an inspection. What kind of behavior is this?" President Li's face darkened. The person he was accompanying was none other than Zhou Chi.

Zhang Lei was startled. Indeed, wasn't the person on the side the big boss of the medical system, Zhou Chi?

He hurriedly reached out his hand enthusiastically and said, "President Zhou, welcome to our hospital for an inspection. I..."

"Little brother, you are here too," unexpectedly, Zhou Chi ignored his hands and walked around to Chen Yu's side, reaching out his hand enthusiastically.

Chen Yu saw that Zhou Chi was glowing with health, and he smiled, "Congratulations, President Zhou."

"Haha, little brother, you already saw it? You are truly amazing," Zhou Chi was extremely excited. "You were spot on. You said this morning that the appointment would come down in the blink of an eye, and I am going to take office after I finish the handover."

"Then I really must congratulate President Zhou." Chen Yu smiled slightly. He had read Zhou Chi's Appearance and knew he would have the joy of a promotion within three days; now it had indeed come true.

"I owe it all to your golden words, little brother. I'll host tonight and invite you for a drink." Zhou Chi was very grateful. In truth, he had no confidence in whether his promotion would actually happen.

But Chen Yu had said it in the morning, and by the afternoon he had received the notice that he was being promoted directly to the provincial level. He was now convinced that Chen Yu must be a master.

Zhang Lei, Li Yuan, and the others on the side were stunned. Zhang Lei's hand remained frozen in mid-air, his heart turning cold.

What exactly was the relationship between this Chen Yu and Zhou Chi? Zhou Chi was a leader in charge of the medical system, yet he was so enthusiastic toward Chen Yu?

Li Yuan was even more dumbfounded. She had pulled many strings for the sake of her permanent position, but the leaders she met were all small-time and couldn't help at all.

But who exactly was Chen Yu? He was actually so familiar with Zhou Chi, and it looked like Zhou Chi even wanted to give him some face. If Chen Yu said a word, wouldn't her matter be settled?

"President Zhou, I am Li Yuan, a nurse at the hospital. Chen Yu is my classmate," Li Yuan said, thick-skinned, as she stepped forward.

"Oh, your classmate?" Zhou Chi was taken aback.

"Li Yuan, you just said it yourself: classmates like us are of no use to you, and you don't bother to deal with us. Have you forgotten what you said so quickly?" Chen Yu sneered.

"Ch-Chen Yu, it was my fault just now. We are all classmates, after all. I've helped Yu Fan quite a bit here too."

Li Yuan was desperate. She tried her best to build a connection with Chen Yu, wanting to use Chen Yu's influence to befriend this big shot so that her permanent position would be a done deal. She regretted treating Chen Yu like that just now so much that she felt like dying.

"Li Yuan, my wife is hospitalized, and the biggest role you played was urging for the deposit," Yu Fan frowned. He was not the type to return evil with good.

"What is going on here?" Zhou Chi spoke up.

"President Zhou, this hospital has a rule that the deposit must be ten thousand at once. My classmate couldn't come up with the deposit, so they kicked her out. Look, her things are still here."

"This Department Director is even more impressive; he said if you can't even come up with ten thousand, turn right at the door, as urns are cheap," Chen Yu said.

"What?" Zhou Chi's expression changed instantly. "President Li, is this your hospital's policy?"

"Th-this... President Zhou, our hospital has its difficulties too," President Li was startled.

"Difficulties? What difficulties? Are your difficulties greater than the common people's? The country advocates that hospitals should not be for profit, but you all are great—you raised the starting fee directly to ten thousand. What is this? A minimum spend?"

"I will rectify this immediately, immediately." President Li had cold sweat on his forehead. This President Zhou was about to be promoted to the provincial level; if he were truly dissatisfied, the hospital would have a hard time in the future.

"Fine, this is the specialty of your hospital? Nurses kicking people out, and a Department Director telling patients to buy urns? Pull the files of these two people and send them to me immediately."

"You still want a permanent position? I want to personally check if their file qualifications have any irregularities or fraud. If they do, just wait for your disciplinary action." Zhou Chi waved his hand and left directly.

Zhang Lei and Li Yuan's faces turned pale. When it came to qualifications, eight out of ten were essentially inflated, but as long as no one investigated, it was fine.

But now that the head of the medical system was going to investigate personally, how could they withstand it?

"Li Yuan, Zhang Lei, you are suspended for the time being. We will make a decision after the matter is resolved," President Li turned and shouted. "You can leave now."

"President, you can't do this! I'm in the middle of a title evaluation. If you suspend me, I'll have to wait another few years," Zhang Lei panicked.

"And I'm in the middle of getting my permanent position," Li Yuan also panicked.

"Title evaluation? Permanent position? Just wait. Whether you can keep your jobs is another question," President Li said angrily.

These two fools—Zhou Chi had been angered away, and they were still thinking about their permanent positions and title evaluations? Keep dreaming.

"Yu Fan, let's go too." The matter was resolved, and Chen Yu couldn't be bothered to say anything more. Li Yuan was finished; she deserved it.

"Chen Yu, thank you so much," Yu Fan and his wife said gratefully.

"No need. Go back and rest more, and take the Medicine according to the prescription I wrote." Chen Yu wrote down the prescription and handed it to them, and the couple left after thanking him profusely.

Leaving the hospital, Chen Yu was just about to depart when he suddenly saw a familiar back, and his expression shook slightly.

It was a girl. She was wearing a capable professional suit and holding a file folder. She seemed to have something on her mind, walking absent-mindedly on the road.

The woman's eyebrows were as delicate as distant mountains, her phoenix eyes bright, her skin like white snow. There was a mix of three parts tenderness and seven parts capability, making it impossible for one to look away.

Ning Ruoxue, the best friend of Li Qingwan, his wife in his previous life, and also Chen Yu's classmate and good friend.
