Chen Fan did not return to the conference hall, but went directly to the lounge in the back.
He had never liked such occasions, and besides, he had already made an appearance. Naturally, he wouldn't go on stage to say anything else. Such matters were best left to Sun Xiao to handle.
The reason Chen Fan didn't leave was that Sun Xiao had mentioned there were many documents requiring Chen Fan's signature.
Although Sun Xiao was the CEO, she was not the actual owner of the company. Many documents would not be legally effective without Chen Fan's signature.
He waited for two hours. After the press conference ended, Chen Fan signed all the documents and then left Chang Sheng.
Chen Fan checked the time; it was almost noon. He thought about returning to the hospital quickly to check on the critically ill patients from yesterday.
Upon returning to the psychiatric hospital, as Chen Fan walked into the outpatient building, two figures on the adjacent staircase caught his attention.
He saw the middle-aged man gently stroking the girl's head, his demeanor particularly affectionate.
"Xixi, this is your favorite steak. I specifically asked the driver to go buy it for you. It's almost mealtime, so eat it quickly later."
"If you're tired from work, just come to my office and sleep for a while. There's a single bed in my office, right behind the cabinet."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed a steak fast-food meal to the girl in front of him, and simultaneously took out a key from his pocket.
When Chen Fan clearly saw the identities of the two people, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Because this middle-aged man was none other than the director, Luo Yongtang, and the young girl was his intern, Luo Xixi.
With Chen Fan's current hearing, he could naturally hear their conversation clearly.
Looking at the significant age gap between them, Chen Fan sighed helplessly. He did not disturb them and walked directly towards his consultation room.
After all, this was their private matter, and it was not for Chen Fan to interfere.
"Teacher."
Zhu Shang and the other three were organizing medical records in the consultation room. Upon seeing Chen Fan return, they quickly stood up respectfully.
Chen Fan's handling of the sudden situation yesterday and his surgical treatment of the critically ill patients had already convinced Zhu Shang and the others. Now, they looked at Chen Fan with genuine admiration.
Chen Fan glanced at the medical records being organized by Zhu Shang and the other three, nodding slightly.
As expected of the top students the director had recruited from various medical schools, their case records were indeed well-done.
At this moment, Luo Xixi returned to the consultation room, carrying her belongings.
"Teacher," Luo Xixi also called out respectfully upon seeing Chen Fan.
Chen Fan frowned slightly, glancing at Luo Xixi. He ignored her, his expression appearing somewhat cold.
"Zhu Shang, get ready. We're going for rounds," Chen Fan instructed Zhu Shang.
"Yes, Teacher." Although Zhu Shang also cast a curious glance at Luo Xixi, he nodded and stood up.
Luo Xixi quickly placed the lunchbox in her hand on the table nearby.
Following Chen Fan on rounds would undoubtedly allow her to learn a lot.
However, just as Luo Xixi was about to follow Chen Fan out of the consultation room, Chen Fan suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Xixi, saying, "Luo Xixi, you don't need to go. Finish organizing the remaining case records."
"Oh, right. I'll notify you all in advance. Interning here relies on your own abilities, not on your connections. I also ask certain students to take care of their bodies and not do anything out of line. This is a hospital, not a shelter, nor a place of ill repute. Those who climb their way up through unsavory means, I guarantee they won't last here."
After speaking, Chen Fan turned and walked out of the consultation room.
Zhu Shang and the others exchanged bewildered glances, a head full of questions, not understanding why Chen Fan suddenly said these things.
"You four, keep up." Chen Fan's voice, already outside, rang out again.
Zhu Shang and the others didn't have time to think further and quickly followed. A moment later, Luo Xixi was the only one left standing in the consultation room, stunned.
How could she not tell that Chen Fan was clearly talking about her?
But she hadn't expected that Chen Fan's words would be so sharp and hurtful. Tears of grievance slowly dripped down Luo Xixi's cheeks.
Chen Fan said these things to make Luo Xixi see the error of her ways. After all, as a girl, she must have self-respect and cherish herself. Moreover, this was a hospital, demanding rigor from doctors was also a responsibility to the patients.
"Uncle, who sent you to the psychiatric hospital? This is a place for treating fools. Moreover, you're so badly injured, what if something goes wrong with your treatment here?!"
In a surgical ward with six patients, a man in a suit with a slicked-back hairstyle was shouting loudly.
For a moment, the families of several patients turned their attention to the man.
The middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed weakly replied, "It's quite good here. Both the medical skills and the conditions are acceptable. The doctors and nurses are also very responsible."
The man snorted dismissively, "Hmph, responsible? Wouldn't they be responsible? Do you know that the semi-trailer truck that hit you had full insurance, and it's said to compensate tens of millions."
Then, the man asked mysteriously, "Do you know whose pocket all this money will eventually go into?"
"So much money, whose pocket will it go into?" The family member in the next bed immediately became interested and couldn't help but ask.
The man pointed to the ground, "Of course, it goes into the hospital's pocket!"
"After treating you, the insurance will definitely prioritize medical expenses first, then the compensation for the car, and only then will it be our turn for patient compensation."
"Think about it, why would a psychiatric hospital be in such a hurry to send you all here for treatment? It's all for one word: money!"
Hearing the man's remarks, everyone fell into thought.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, a subtle arc appeared at the corner of the man's mouth. He continued, "Actually, I think it's the same wherever you get treated, but the problem is, this is a psychiatric hospital. If we go for treatment elsewhere in the future, and our medical records show a visit to a psychiatric hospital, people will think we have some kind of mental illness!"
"Will the medical records show this?" another patient's family member asked.
The man nodded emphatically, "Of course. It's like credit reporting. Even if you take out a loan, there's a record, let alone treating people."
"Then what should we do? What if our child applies for a job in the future, and they check and find out someone in our family has been treated at a psychiatric hospital? Won't that affect our child's future?!"
"Yes, my friend called me last night and laughed at me quite a bit when he saw me wearing a psychiatric hospital gown!"
"Being laughed at is a small matter. I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of our children and our family."
Many people in the ward began to murmur with furrowed brows.
