Fifth Hospital of Yunhai City, as its name suggests, was not the earliest established medical institution in Yunhai.
Many years ago, its medical facilities could at best rank among the top seven in Yunhai.
Later, the hospital went bankrupt and was liquidated for various reasons.
At that time, Old Master Zhao, who came from a family of doctors, wanted to establish a private hospital for the Zhao family. He then used his life savings to acquire the Fifth Hospital, which was on the verge of disappearing.
Moreover, after much deliberation, Old Master Zhao didn't even change the hospital's name.
Time returns to the present.
After three generations of the Zhao family's diligent management, Fifth Hospital, a latecomer, has now surpassed all its predecessors and become the hospital with the most abundant medical resources in Yunhai City.
Even when compared individually with several top-tier hospitals in Jiangnan, it was in no way inferior!
All of this filled Zhao Ruyue, the current manager of the Zhao family, with immense pride.
However, what she had not anticipated was that a special patient admitted two hours prior would plunge the entire Fifth Hospital into a situation where its reputation was at stake.
This was something Zhao Ruyue absolutely could not accept!
Yet, she was powerless to do anything.
Even after more than an hour of meetings, the entire management staff of the hospital could not come up with a suitable treatment plan.
"Everyone, please disperse for now," Zhao Ruyue, the leader, said as she stood up and was the first to leave the conference room.
Seeing this, the assembled management staff could only sigh.
It wasn't that they were incompetent.
It was simply that the illness of the special patient was beyond the help of even the most elite doctors.
On the third floor of the hospital.
In Zhao Ruyue's private lounge.
She lay face down on an old wooden desk, covering her face.
Then, with a series of "ahhs," she vented the immense pressure she was feeling at that moment.
...
Meanwhile.
Several kilometers away, outside the main gate of the Zhao family residence.
When Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan arrived, they were informed by the Zhao family's butler that the person they were looking for was not at home but was working overtime at the hospital.
"Thank you."
Zhou Yu expressed his gratitude, then took Su Yuyan's hand and they quickly headed towards the parking lot.
He had come to break off the engagement, but Zhao Ruyue herself was not present, which was quite awkward.
Su Yuyan gazed at Zhou Yu's profile and whispered, "Zhou Yu, why don't we go directly to the hospital to find her?"
"Huh?" Zhou Yu stopped walking.
He turned his head and looked at the woman beside him with a vacant gaze.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuyan asked.
Zhou Yu's eyes were peculiar, as if he were trying to see through her entirely, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"You're more anxious than I am!" Zhou Yu exclaimed, slapping his thigh, and then chuckled, "Hey, what is it? Miss Su, have you fallen so quickly?"
Hearing him say that, Su Yuyan decisively gave him a huge eye-roll.
Fallen for you, my foot!
This young lady is a beauty beloved by all, how could I possibly... so quickly...
Of course, Su Yuyan was too smart to voice her thoughts.
She huffed, "If you tease me again, I'm going home."
"No way! Come on, let's go to Fifth Hospital to find her!" Zhou Yu immediately said.
In fact, he had already planned to take Su Yuyan straight to the hospital.
Often, human plans are no match for fate, and even the most detailed plans can be disrupted by various factors.
Therefore, Zhou Yu didn't want to waste this opportunity.
However, after walking a dozen meters forward, he noticed Su Yuyan wasn't following.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Yu returned to her side, concerned.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuyan pointed at the hem of her dress and remained silent.
Her meaning was self-evident.
Since she was going to a banquet earlier, she was wearing a beautiful evening gown.
Now, this elegant attire was hindering her walking speed.
Su Yuyan was worried about soiling it, so she had been carrying it carefully, how could she walk fast?
Moreover, the way the Zhao family butler had looked at her earlier was also a bit strange.
She figured this outfit was the cause.
But Su Yuyan had no other clothes to change into, and even if there was a place to change, it would be useless.
"A small problem, leave it to me!"
Zhou Yu said, and to Su Yuyan's surprised gasp, he ripped off the excess part of the gown's hem with a "zzzzip."
He clapped his hands, "This way you can walk more conveniently."
Su Yuyan: "..."
This man's approach to problem-solving was truly unique.
This dress cost tens of thousands!
Yet, Zhou Yu had ripped off the extra fabric without batting an eye.
Could this dress still be worn to banquets in the future?
Su Yuyan felt both helpless and amused.
"You're still not satisfied?" Zhou Yu asked again.
After speaking, he made a gesture as if he was going to tear Su Yuyan's dress again.
This thoroughly startled the beautiful Miss Su.
"If you tear it again, I won't be able to show my face!"
Su Yuyan's small face turned red as she backed away desperately.
Putting aside the fact that the dress would become shorter the more it was torn,
just the bizarre imbalance after tearing it would make her too embarrassed to go to the hospital.
There were so many people at the hospital, how could she be so bold!
"Why are you dodging? Do you really think I'll keep tearing it?" Zhou Yu said, feeling frustrated.
He was just pretending to tear it, and in reality, he had no intention of continuing to rip her dress.
Zhou Yu's aesthetic sense was quite high, wasn't it?
If he didn't know it would look strange if torn further, wouldn't Su Yuyan know?
"I'm scared,"
Su Yuyan returned to him, her face showing a hint of grievance.
Seeing her adorable, worried expression, Zhou Yu felt an impulse.
Fortunately, his self-control was astonishing, and he suppressed it.
Given their current relationship, despite the title of husband and wife, they had no physical intimacy. It would be inappropriate for him to make any presumptuous moves.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yu's gaze shifted away from her face.
Su Yuyan was stunned for a moment.
Then, she pursed her red lips and softly hummed.
For some reason, she felt an extreme sense of loss.
Just now, was she expecting something?
Thinking of this possibility, Su Yuyan looked up at his retreating figure, her eyes gradually filled with a complex emotion.
...
Fifth Hospital.
Hearing the knock on the door outside the lounge.
Zhao Ruyue raised her head, her eyes lighting up with surprise, "Xiao Du, has someone come up with a treatment plan?"
"No, Doctor Zhao, someone is causing trouble," replied Du Ping from outside the door.
"Who?" Zhao Ruyue's expression immediately fell with disappointment.
She had thought that someone among the hospital's management had come up with a way to treat that important figure.
"It's the person accompanying the mayor of Yunhai City."
"Is their surname Li?"
"I think so."
"Alright, I understand. Wait for me to wash my face, and I'll be right there."
With that said.
Zhao Ruyue turned back and looked at the photo frame on the desk, her face etched with worry.
She raised her delicate arm and cupped the photo frame with both hands.
She murmured, "Grandpa, if it were you, you would definitely have thought of a solution, wouldn't you?"
With Old Master Zhao's medical skills, there would certainly be no problem.
But Zhao Ruyue's grandfather had passed away long ago, and now, no one could help her.
