"What? Free delivery? And four of them? How is that possible? Old Wu, are you mistaken? Four vials of anti-cancer special medicine, that's nearly five million, and you're just giving them away for free?" Xiao Lan asked with disbelief.
"Stop with the nonsense. I'm already in a bad mood. Just do as you're told, why so many questions?" Wu Yu roared.
Damn Chen Feng. He thought he was a nobody, but he turned out to be a ruthless character. He was actually able to get the provincial authorities to issue a document. He really couldn't understand how a naive young kid could have connections with the provincial authorities.
Seeing Wu Yu getting angry, Xiao Lan didn't dare to say another word and left Wu Yu's office subserviently. Soon, Xiao Lan entered Jiangcheng First People's Hospital with four vials of anti-cancer special medicine.
"Director, here are the four vials of anti-cancer special medicine for your patient," Xiao Lan said dejectedly. He didn't dare to show his frustration in front of Wu Yu, but he absolutely could in front of the director. No matter how powerful the director was, he was nothing compared to the Health Insurance Bureau.
"Mr. Lan, who has upset you?" the director probed.
"It's nobody in particular, I'm just curious, who are these four vials of anti-cancer special medicine for?" Xiao Lan continued dejectedly.
"They are for Ms. Wang Ling, the daughter of a wealthy businessman," the director replied without hiding anything.
"That's unlikely, isn't it? Anti-cancer special medicine isn't just something you can buy with money; it also requires connections in high places. As far as I know, the Wang family doesn't have many connections," Xiao Lan asked, confused.
"I'm also very puzzled. The Wang family is purely in business and has no connections in high places. Logically, being able to buy one vial of anti-cancer special medicine would already be very good. Buying four vials at once is truly incomprehensible," the director also said, bewildered.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lan, I think I saw Chen Feng, the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District, enter Wang Ling's ward," the director added.
"What? Chen Feng, the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District, entered Wang Ling's ward?" Xiao Lan couldn't understand. Firstly, Chen Feng and Wang Ling had no connection whatsoever, so why would Chen Feng appear in Wang Ling's ward? Secondly, Chen Feng was just a common official, what could he possibly do for Wang Ling?
"It's absolutely true. I went to Mingshan District a few days ago and met Chen Feng," the director replied truthfully.
"Got it." After a perfunctory exchange with the director, Xiao Lan left the office and went to Wang Ling's ward. Coincidentally, Chen Feng was in Wang Ling's ward at that moment.
"Chen Feng, did you use your connections to get these four vials of anti-cancer special medicine?" Xiao Lan called Chen Feng outside the ward and asked directly.
"Let me correct you, they weren't bought, they were given for free," Chen Feng replied calmly.
"You're just a director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District, who would give you something worth over four million?" Xiao Lan asked instinctively.
"You're an official, you should understand this better than I do. Don't just talk about me, even a town cashier can embezzle millions. Even more outrageous, a superior might give millions to win over a subordinate, it's not uncommon news. You can search online, every month China executes a few, and arrests a few for embezzling hundreds of millions. Four million is nothing, is it?" Chen Feng retorted calmly. Wang Hai's call to the Jiangcheng Health Bureau was not something he needed to tell Wu Yu or Xiao Lan. They just needed to know that someone had gifted four vials of anti-cancer special medicine worth four million for free.
"Chen Feng, I underestimated you." Xiao Lan was convinced.
"Xiao Lan, originally I was planning to talk to you about the Jiangcheng health insurance matters in a while. Since you've come to find me yourself, we can discuss it now." Chen Feng said seriously.
"Chen Feng, are you kidding me? You're just the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District, what right do you have to meddle in Jiangcheng's health insurance affairs? You're quite experienced in officialdom, you know that one shouldn't try to govern outside their jurisdiction, don't you understand this principle?" Xiao Lan questioned Chen Feng indignantly. In the Jiangcheng Health Insurance Bureau, only Wu Yu was the highest authority. Wu Yu hadn't even spoken, and an outsider to the Health Insurance Bureau was making demands. Wasn't this absurd?
"I am indeed not from the Health Insurance Bureau, and I indeed cannot decide whether the Health Insurance Bureau should reform or not. However, I am a member of Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng has developed very rapidly in recent years, but our medical situation has not improved. As a member of Jiangcheng, don't I have the right to express my feelings?" Chen Feng said calmly.
"Are you stupid? Where do you think this is? America? Expressing your feelings? Do you believe me if I say I can have you arrested and sent to the police station with just one call?" Xiao Lan continued to stare at Chen Feng indignantly. With four vials of special medicine, nearly five million, he could have gotten a lot of commission. Because Chen Feng interfered, he wouldn't get a penny of commission. If such a person wasn't dealt with severely, how could he make money in the future?
"If you have the ability, send me to the police station now. If you don't, hurry back and tell Wu Yu about the Jiangcheng health insurance reform." Chen Feng deliberately provoked Xiao Lan. The chaos in Jiangcheng's health insurance could not be solved without escalating the matter.
"Chen Feng, do you think you have a lot of power as the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District? How dare you overstep your bounds?" Xiao Lan stared at Chen Feng with bloodshot eyes. Chen Feng had made him lose over four million in commission, and now he was still talking big. A common district official dared to talk big to municipal officials, it was time to let him know the rules of officialdom. With that thought, Xiao Lan directly called the police station and asked them to send a few officers to arrest Chen Feng. If it were any other matter, they wouldn't dare to arrest Chen Feng so casually, after all, Chen Feng was an official. However, this time, they could arrest Chen Feng, an ordinary official, with complete peace of mind. This was because the matter of the Health Insurance Bureau's anti-cancer special medicine was very complicated, involving big figures from Jiangcheng and the provincial capital. With these big figures involved, arresting an ordinary official would be too easy. As for the charges, there was no rush, he would discuss with Wu Yu at the Health Insurance Bureau about what charges would be most suitable. In a short while, several police officers arrested Chen Feng. The police station also knew where they stood. On one side was an ordinary official, and on the other side were officials with backing from Jiangcheng and the provincial capital. They knew very well who they could offend and who they could not. After Chen Feng was taken away, Xiao Lan excitedly returned to the Health Insurance Bureau.
"Old Wu, I have some good news for you." Xiao Lan said excitedly.
"What good news?" Wu Yu asked, bewildered.
"I had the police station arrest Chen Feng." Xiao Lan said excitedly.
"Say that again, who did you have arrested?" Wu Yu felt a chill in his heart.
"Chen Feng, the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District. Those four vials of anti-cancer special medicine were Chen Feng's doing. This guy is utterly audacious, daring to get involved with the lucrative pie of anti-cancer special medicine. He even shamelessly said he wanted to reform Jiangcheng's health insurance, it's laughable. There are too many beneficiaries in health insurance, and the background is too terrifying, how can it possibly be reformed?" Xiao Lan said with a sneer.
"You idiot, you've completely ruined me." Wu Yu directly cursed him.
"Old Wu, what's wrong? I locked up the troublemaker, and I'm protecting the interests of health insurance, why are you still angry?" Xiao Lan asked, confused.
"I'm not explaining to an idiot! Hurry up and go to the police station yourself and get Chen Feng out." Wu Yu replied fiercely.
"Get Chen Feng out?" Xiao Lan became even more confused.
"Yes, get Chen Feng out. You go in, he comes out." Wu Yu said with bulging veins.
"Old Wu, why is this happening? We are the municipal Health Insurance Bureau, and Chen Feng is just an ordinary official from Mingshan District, there's no reason to be so afraid of him." Xiao Lan argued.
"I'll just say one thing, this time it was the provincial top leader, Xiang Wentian, who asked us to give the four vials of anti-cancer special medicine to Chen Feng. That's all I have to say, you better take care of yourself." Wu Yu explained impatiently while calling the Health Insurance Bureau's security guards. The only way to appease Chen Feng now was to send Xiao Lan to the police station.
"Old Wu, are you throwing me away as a scapegoat?" Xiao Lan asked indignantly.
