Chapter 266 - Money can do so much! (1/2)
Oftentimes, there were many people out there who wanted to accomplish so many things in life. However, the business of daily life and hardship of work would slowly grind away at their passionate hearts. Such people would gradually become those who would only go with the flow. If Superintendent Ouyang had to describe such people, she would say that they were really spoiled!
People from Superintendent Ouyang and general surgery Director Zhao’s generation were able to achieve success despite all their difficulties because of the era they lived through, giving them an adamant heart that had been tempered by the times.
Not all people from their generation were successful. In fact, many of them had been ground down into blood by the difficulties of life. Still, in comparison, there really was a high success rate for those from their generation. Their generation was one that would create heroes. It really wouldn’t be easy to be this generation’s superiors or subordinates!
The surgery was now over. Normally, for a surgery of this level, the patient wouldn’t need to go to the ICU department for treatment. However, the Hong Kong businessman personally requested to be put into the ICU department. Regulations weren’t as strict at smaller hospitals, so of course the hospital would be happy if the patient wanted to spend more money for better care! Thus, the patient was sent to the ICU department. Although money couldn’t do everything, it really could do a lot. All the other patients in the ICU department were hoping to get out as soon as possible and return to a normal patient room so that they could have fewer expenses. Yet, to the Hong Kong businessman, spending 10,000 yuan per day in medical fees for the ICU department was nothing at all!
Zhang Fan was in no hurry to go to his next rotation assignment, the rheumatology department. Since his work on the surgery today counted as overtime, he would be able to take one more day off for vacation. Right now, he was busy with renovating his new apartment. It wasn’t like he could let Shao Hua’s parents busily deal with all the work.
Three days after the surgery, Zhang Fan was busy choosing some ceramic tiles when he was summoned back to the hospital. The Hong Kong businessman’s family had arrived at Chasu City Hospital. When the border province businessman learned of Zhang Fan’s skill level, he was so delighted that he burst into tears! The local businessman led the Hong Kong businessman’s wife to Superintendent Ouyang’s office.
Normally, with Superintendent Ouyang’s personality, she wouldn’t meet with any businessman’s wife or even father. Someone like her would only care about politics! However, the Hong Kong businessman and his wife were quite skilled at getting into her good graces.
The Hong Kong businessman and his wife directly donated a large sum of money to Chasu City Hospital! They donated 50,000,000 yuan! Of course Superintendent Ouyang would accept this money! Her smile was as sweet as a baby’s. Although donating such a large sum of money wouldn’t be something so simple, and it would need to go through the government, since the Hong Kong businessman and his wife were willing to donate so much money, of course Superintendent Ouyang would treat them as VIP guests!
“You would like to meet the primary surgeon? Not a problem! I’ll call him over right now!” Superintendent Ouyang immediately had the hospital administration director summon Zhang Fan over.
“This is Doctor Zhang from our hospital. He’s the most skilled doctor from his generation! His surgeries are known for high precision and low damage!” Superintendent Ouyang introduced Zhang Fan to the Hong Kong businessman’s wife, who was known as President Lin.
“Thank you, Doctor Zhang!” President Lin had a team of assistants with her. They were all wearing suits, ties, and really shiny leather shoes. All of them bowed to Zhang Fan in unison!
“No need for this, there really is no need. It’s what we should have done.” Zhang Fan really hadn’t expected such a formal thanks like this right after being summoned here.
“No need to be so polite with us. We’re a public hospital here to serve the people, so of course we would serve you. It’s what we should be doing.” Superintendent Ouyang hurriedly tried to convince President Lin to sit down.
“I understand that Communist Party regulations can be quite strict. Just money alone won’t be able to express how grateful I am. Here is an invitation to study at England’s royal hospital for Doctor Zhang Fan. This slot is only available for him alone. This invitation will be effective for three years! Please accept this!” President Lin handed a document to Zhang Fan, holding it with both her hands.
Zhang Fan was really surprised by this! He glanced at Superintendent Ouyang, not knowing if he should take it or not! Although China’s medical system was developing quite rapidly, and almost catching up to the extent of medical systems in developed countries, China’s best medical schools and hospitals still weren’t receiving recognition in Europe and America.
There would be far too many restrictions and limitations on someone who wanted to develop themselves in another country in the medical field, especially clinical medicine. These types of invitations were a type of small benefit that rich and powerful families in China had gained after making donations to major hospitals in the developed countries!
“Since President Lin is being so generous, why are you just standing there? Hurry and take it!” Superintendent Ouyang seemed as if she was worried that President Lin would change her mind, so she hurriedly took the invitation from President Lin’s hands and gave it over to Zhang Fan. Superintendent Ouyang was delighted, truly delighted! Even her eyes sparkled with delight.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com
After the patient’s family and retinue left, Superintendent Ouyang relaxed herself on a large sofa in her office as she slowly sipped on some tea. “When do you intend to go to England?” she asked Zhang Fan.
“This invitation is effective for three years. I’m not in any hurry!”
“How come?”
