"Yes, yes, we mustn't let Dr. Liu's kindness go to waste," Kang Cheng quickly agreed.
This was hundreds of thousands in medical fees, how could he possibly afford it? The worry etched on his face instantly turned into surprise and joy.
"Hmph!" Liu Qianze snorted and turned to walk back to his consulting room.
Kang Cheng, standing beside him, quickly nodded gratefully at Chen Fan before following.
With Kang Cheng's matter resolved, Chen Fan also returned to his own consulting room.
Much had happened at the hospital during Chen Fan's absence. Lian Wenxin had received notice yesterday that he was to be promoted to vice president and was heading to Kyoto for a month of study, while Xu Lang had been appointed director of the first department.
There was also another matter: the psychiatric hospital was planning to upgrade to a comprehensive psychiatric hospital, and the surgery department was also preparing to officially open. This meant that the position of director of surgery would be decided soon.
"Dr. Chen, I believe the position of director of surgery is definitely yours," Zhao Qianqian stated with great certainty.
She knew very well that although Liu Qianze had a high academic background, when it came to medical skills, Chen Fan was miles ahead.
Chen Fan smiled calmly, calculating that the time for his bet with Liu Qianze was fast approaching.
During lunch, to celebrate Chen Fan's return to work, Zhao Qianqian suggested that Chen Fan treat everyone to dinner that evening.
This suggestion was unanimously approved by several doctors and nurses who were close to Chen Fan. Chen Fan, with no other choice, agreed and booked a table at the sky restaurant of the Marriott Hotel for the evening.
After work, Chen Fan asked the other doctors and nurses to go ahead while he and Qin Shuran drove back to the urban village to pick up Qin Minmin, who had been cooped up at home all day.
However, as the three of them took the elevator up to the sky restaurant, a familiar figure caught Qin Shuran's attention.
"Chen Fan, doesn't that person look like Sister Sun?" Qin Shuran pointed towards the entrance of a private room not far away.
Chen Fan glanced over and indeed, the elegant figure in high heels and a dress, about to walk into the private room, was Sun Xiao.
"Shuran, what do you think if we asked Sister Sun to be the general manager of my company?" A thought suddenly popped into Chen Fan's mind.
"If she's willing, that would be excellent. After all, she owns a BMW 4S dealership; her sales and management skills are undoubtedly not bad," Qin Shuran, though a doctor, had been influenced by her family's business since childhood and had a unique understanding of people.
"Then I'll find an opportunity to talk to Sister Sun," Chen Fan decided, and then he and Qin Shuran walked towards their reserved private room.
The attendees were all doctors and nurses who were close to Chen Fan, making the gathering lively and relaxed, unlike their previous get-together.
Especially the embarrassing incident involving Liu Qianze at the hospital that day, which became a hot topic of discussion at the dinner table.
After a few drinks, Chen Fan went to the restroom.
However, as Chen Fan was about to leave after finishing, a man's voice echoed from inside the restroom.
"Mr. You, that girl has arrived, and the BMW headquarters executives are also here. When will you be coming?"
"Don't worry, I've already spoken to that executive. If that girl wants to reopen her business, she'll have to crawl to your bed and apologize to you. Otherwise, as long as we don't agree, her 4S dealership won't be able to open."
"Thank you, Mr. You, thank you, Mr. You!" The man's voice sounded extremely excited, clearly having received some benefit.
Although the man's voice was not loud, Chen Fan, with his current abilities, could hear it clearly.
BMW, Mr. You, reopening – these words, coupled with the encounter with Sun Xiao earlier, gave Chen Fan a bad premonition.
Chen Fan's expression darkened as he pushed open the door and left the restroom.
Chen Fan was certain that the "Mr. You" was You Xianchao. He hadn't expected You Xianchao to be so despicable, using the reopening of the 4S dealership to threaten Sun Xiao.
This matter had originally started because of Chen Fan, and Chen Fan naturally could not stand by and do nothing.
Just as Chen Fan was washing his hands, his phone suddenly rang.
It was an unknown number, but Chen Fan still answered the call.
"Cough, cough, cough, Dr. Chen, good evening." As soon as the call was connected, a familiar voice came through.
"Mr. Jin, are you coughing again?" Chen Fan recognized the voice as that of Jin Shiran, the underground boss of Jiangcheng.
Jin Shiran replied, "Yes, but I feel much better after taking your medicine. I wanted to ask if you have a way to stop the cough. It's been bothering me for a while, and my lungs are starting to ache."
"Of course, I do. But I'm not at the hospital right now. How about you come to the hospital tomorrow, and I'll give you acupuncture?"
"Where is Dr. Chen now? As long as you're in Jiangcheng, I'll come find you directly. I didn't think much of it when I was coughing before, but after your treatment, the coughing and wheezing suddenly stopped. I really don't want to cough anymore; it's too uncomfortable."
Chen Fan pondered for a moment, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips. Looking at the private room Sun Xiao had entered earlier, he said, "I'm in the Ruyi private room at the sky restaurant."
"Alright, I'll be right there." Jin Shiran hung up after speaking.
Chen Fan put away his phone and saw the man in the suit from the restroom heading towards the elevator to the sky restaurant. Without hesitation, Chen Fan walked directly towards the Ruyi private room.
"Ms. Sun, I've gone to great lengths to arrange for Mr. You to meet you today to resolve your conflict. You must seize this opportunity, otherwise, your 4S dealership will likely have no hope of reopening and may even face huge compensation."
Inside the private room, a middle-aged man sat opposite Sun Xiao, his eyes constantly lingering on Sun Xiao's neckline with a lecherous gaze.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma. I understand," Sun Xiao replied with a pale complexion, nodding faintly.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man stood up, moved closer, and reached out to grab Sun Xiao's hand. "Ms. Sun, why have you been looking so unwell lately? It worries me to see you like this."
Sun Xiao quickly withdrew her delicate hand, her expression turning cold. "Mr. Ma, please conduct yourself with propriety!"
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Ms. Sun, we're both adults. I've gone through so much trouble for your affairs, are you just going to repay me like this?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man reached out to embrace Sun Xiao's slender waist.
Sun Xiao quickly stood up and dodged. "Mr. Ma, if you continue like this, I'm leaving!"
"Heh heh, leave? Fine, then leave. The compensation from You Xianchao plus the breach of contract fees from BMW headquarters – let's see how you'll handle it." The middle-aged man's eyes revealed a cold sneer.
Sun Xiao's expression froze, and the anger on her face turned to despair.
"Ms. Sun, I advise you to sit down obediently. You have no other choice." Seeing the change in Sun Xiao's expression, the middle-aged man smugly patted his thigh, signaling Sun Xiao to sit down.
"Bang!"
Just then, the tightly closed door was forcefully pushed open.
