"I had the same thought as you before. How could a small village head have so much power to be so overbearing in Mingshan City? But that's reality. I suspect this village head has a vested interest with the big shots in Mingshan City."
Chen Feng's uncle replied truthfully.
"I understand, Uncle. You've been very worried about cousin's situation lately. Please go back and rest. I promise to handle cousin's matter perfectly. To be honest, you asking me to help cousin get a promotion is against my professional ethics. However, using my power to protect cousin and seek justice for him, that's something I can do. It's the most basic principle of being a person. If I can't even protect my own relatives and friends, then what's the point of being an official?"
Chen Feng said to comfort his uncle.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, the stone in Chen Feng's uncle's heart was completely lifted.
After chatting for a while longer, Chen Feng's uncle left.
Without any further ado, Chen Feng went straight to the Third People's Hospital in the city.
Upon arriving at the ward, Chen Feng's cousin was staring blankly at the hospitalization payment list.
"Cousin."
Chen Feng called out with a smile.
"Chen Feng, why are you here?"
Chen Feng's cousin forced a smile and instinctively hid the payment list behind him.
Chen Feng immediately noticed that something was wrong with his cousin.
"Cousin, let me see the payment list."
Chen Feng was straightforward and didn't hide anything.
"It's just a payment list, nothing to see."
Chen Feng's cousin continued to force a smile.
"Cousin, you're being too formal like this. Don't you remember, we've been playing together since we were kids?"
After saying that, Chen Feng directly took the payment list from behind his cousin.
After a brief glance at the payment list, Chen Feng instantly understood why his cousin was spacing out.
The daily hospitalization fee was fifty thousand yuan due to the syncope caused by emotional agitation.
Wasn't this ripping people off?
It clearly stated that various physical examination fees amounted to over eight thousand yuan, all using advanced foreign equipment.
It was understandable to get examinations when sick and hospitalized.
But the problem was the inclusion of an anti-aging gene check, which was clearly exploiting the patient!
He used to think that public hospitals had serious issues with random charging, but he never expected that private hospitals would be so outrageously rampant with their fees.
"Chen Feng, you've seen it. The hospitalization fee is fifty thousand a day. I can't afford this hospital. I plan to check out this afternoon."
Chen Feng's cousin stopped pretending.
"Cousin, looking at your complexion, you're not sick, just temporarily fainted due to emotional agitation causing cerebral hypoxia. You really don't need to be hospitalized. How about this, you lie here and rest for a while, and I'll go pay this hospitalization fee for you."
Chen Feng said to comfort his cousin.
"Fifty thousand yuan is not a small sum. Let me not trouble you."
Chen Feng's cousin instinctively declined.
"Cousin, let's not be strangers. I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm now the Deputy Mayor of Mingshan City. I can afford a fifty-thousand-yuan hospitalization fee. However, to be honest, I'm not just going to pay for this fifty-thousand-yuan hospitalization fee. I'm going to properly discipline these unscrupulous doctors. These people, nowadays, only have money in their eyes and no medical ethics. They must be disciplined!"
Chen Feng said sternly.
Hearing Chen Feng say this, Chen Feng's cousin fell silent.
Frankly speaking, he only had a few thousand yuan in his pocket and couldn't afford the fifty-thousand-yuan hospitalization fee.
After comforting his cousin a few more times, Chen Feng went directly to the dean's office.
When the dean saw Chen Feng, his heart skipped a beat.
Bad news, the hospital's random charging issue had been exposed.
"Old Chen, why are you here? You should have informed me in advance so I could welcome you."
The dean said, trying to keep his composure.
Chen Feng cut to the chase and handed the hospitalization payment list of his cousin to the dean.
The dean's face turned red.
"A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Perhaps they made a mistake with the list."
The dean explained with a forced smile.
"Is my cousin's hospitalization payment list a misunderstanding? Then are the hospitalization payment lists of other patients also expensive due to misunderstanding? You are a private hospital, and it's understandable that you need to make money. But to have no medical ethics at all and charge exorbitant fees, don't your consciences hurt? To verify if you're overcharging, I've specifically asked many patients, and your random charging has reached a point of madness. For example, for a late-stage cancer patient who had already suffered organ failure and was barely hanging on, you tricked the family, manipulated them, and urged them to fulfill their filial duty by resuscitating, spending fifty thousand yuan a day. Tell me, aren't you all insane? A late-stage cancer patient with organ failure is already dead. Yet you tricked the family into spending fifty thousand yuan a day on treatment for a dead person. Also, no matter what illness people have when they come to your hospital, you first charge thousands of yuan for examinations. I won't even mention these, but what's even more unethical is that for the sake of making money, healthy people get sick just by walking through your hospital. For money, you deliberately allow viruses to spread in the hospital instead of disinfecting the hospital daily..."
Chen Feng accused him with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, the dean panicked. Disregarding his dignity, he immediately knelt before Chen Feng.
"Old Chen, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"It's too late to say you're sorry now. We must make an example of you."
Chen Feng said sternly.
"Old Chen, I truly know I was wrong. From now on, I will change, I will definitely change."
The dean said with a choked sob.
"Stop talking nonsense. You must go to prison, at least for ten years. The nature of this offense is too serious. China's economy has developed quite well in recent years, but why do ordinary people always curse the government? It's because of wicked people like you who empty the pockets of the common people. If people like you are not dealt with severely, the ordinary people of China will never have a good life."
Chen Feng said excitedly.
In China, as long as ordinary people go to the hospital, the hospital will absolutely not let them go until they've emptied the pockets of the common people.
Besides hospitals being money-grubbing, education is also about unscrupulously extracting money from the common people.
Intentionally not teaching important knowledge points in class, and then offering paid classes.
Charging tens of thousands for a single course, and several tens of thousands for seven or eight courses.
Ordinary people who don't have money naturally can't afford this, so they worry daily about whether their children will be targeted by teachers, and what to do if their children don't learn important knowledge points.
Wealthy people can only reluctantly pay hundreds of thousands to various teachers, while cursing them inwardly.
Besides these fees, there are also class fees, uniform fees, computer fees, travel fees, holiday gifts for teachers... In short, there are always fee collection items, and you can't refuse to pay.
...
Chinese society has become somewhat perverse. In every industry, there is no professional ethics, only money in their eyes.
In such a situation, who would dare to have a second child?
Raising one child is already difficult.
"Old Chen, I think it's better for us not to fall out completely..."
Seeing that Chen Feng had made up his mind, the dean stopped pleading and changed his attitude.
