Chapter 200 Dong Xuebing’s background (1/2)
Outside of the operating room.
10 minutes… 30 minutes… 1 hour… Liang Chengpeng, his wife, and Dong Xuebing waiting anxiously for the operation to end.
Suddenly, the operating room’s door opened, and Liang Chengpeng and his wife stood up immediately. Liang Chengpeng looked at Deputy Director Qin uneasily. “Director Qin, how is my mother? The operation…” Dong Xuebing also walked nearer.
Deputy Director Qin gave them an assuring look. “Don’t worry. The operation is very successful.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife collapsed on the chair and was crying with joy.
Liang Chengpeng was relieved and grabbed Director Qin’s hand. “Thank you! Thank you!”
Deputy Director Qin turns to one of the heads of the department standing beside him. “Don’t ask the ICU nurse to push the patient back. Arrange one of the special single wards on the top floor for the old lady. I will be the attending doctor for her and she is still in the critical condition these two days. If you all notice anything abnormal, call me immediately.” Not anyone can stay in a single ward. Only Major Generals or Bureau Director levels and above can stay there. But Mdm. Han had given instructions and Deputy Director Qin had to do his best.
Dong Xuebing replied. “Sorry to trouble you.”
Deputy Director Qin patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulders. “It’s alright. The body checkup upstairs is not finished. Come upstairs in an hour.”
Dong Xuebing knew Deputy Director Qin was talking about Mdm. Han’s checkup, and he nodded.
Liang Chengpeng’s mother woke up when the nurse was pushing her to the ward. She looks fine and could still smile at him. This type of operation is not open surgery and does not need anesthesia.
On the top floor, Single ward.
“Mum!” Liang Chengpeng’s wife asked. “How are you feeling?”
The old lady smiled. “I’m fine. My chest does not hurt and could breathe better. Haha… I made you all worried. Da Peng, go back to work. I am fine now.”
Liang Chengpeng shook his head. “I will wait until your condition is stable.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife wiped her tears. “We got to thank Chief Dong. The young doctor told us the success rate is only 40%, and this rate is for younger patients. You are already 80 and it is more dangerous. But Chief Dong got the hospital’s Director Qin, a specialist in this sort of operations, to conduct the operation and saved you.”
The old lady looked at Dong Xuebing. She had met him before as Dong Xuebing had visited her when she was warded in the County’s People’s Hospital. “Thank you, Xiao Dong.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Bureau Chief Liang had taken special care of me at the bureau, and this is nothing.”
After a while, the old lady fell asleep with Liang Chengpeng’s wife accompanying her by the bedside. Dong Xuebing and Liang Chengpeng walked out of the ward.
In the corridor, Dong Xuebing said. “Chief Liang, I have something on and got to go. I will visit old lady later.”
Liang Chengpeng sighed and patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “I will not say any more grateful words. I owe you one.” He knew he had owed Dong Xuebing a big favor and return back to the ward after Dong Xuebing left.
Liang Chengpeng’s wife looked at him. “Xiao Dong had left?”
Liang Chengpeng nodded. “Yes. He came here to accompany someone to see the doctor.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife sighed. “After Mum recovers, we should thank him again. This Xiao Dong is very capable.”
“Capable?” Liang Chengpeng rubbed the center of his brows and sat on a chair. He saw his wife had a puzzled look, and he smiled. “You think the hospital’s director will conduct the operation personally just because Dong Xuebing know him? Didn’t you see the two heads of Cardiology departments came and be the director’s assistant? This is no longer an issue of who you know. Also, who are the ones who stayed in these single wards?”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife was stunned. “Who?”
An old man in the patient’s gown walked past the ward.
Liang Chengpeng immediately stands at attention. After the old man walks away, he whispered. “That is Beijing City’s former Deputy Mayor. His surname is Li, but I have forgotten his full name. He is in-charge of Public Security in the past.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife stuttered. “You are saying… Chief Dong has a strong background?”
“Yes. But it might also be he have relatives in 305 Hospital.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife acknowledge. “Who cares what his background is. This time, he had done us a great favor and you must remember to take care of him in the Bureau.” Chief Liang’s wife does not know about the matters in the government and she is only grateful to Dong Xuebing. If Dong Xuebing is not around, the old lady might be gone now.
On the other side.
Han Jing had completed her body checkup, and Dong Xuebing was sending her back.
“Aunty, how are the results of your checks?” Dong Xuebing looked at Han Jing through the rear-view mirror.
Han Jing opened her eyes and smiled. “It’s alright. Director Qing just asked me to take more wild ginsengs to condition my body.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Oh, then you should take more. Let me know when you finish that box. I will bring a few over.”
“No need. Eating too many ginsengs is also not good for health. Haha… Oh, how is your friend’s mother?”
“Thanks to you, she is out of danger.”
“Good to hear that. No matter what, health is the most important.” Han Jing looked at Dong Xuebing. “You must remember to remind Huilan. She always skips her meals when she works. Sooner or later, her body will not take it. She doesn’t listen to her father and me. You must knock some sense into her.”
Huh? Sis Xie doesn’t even listen to you, and you think she will listen to me? You really think highly of me…
But Dong Xuebing still acknowledged.
After sending Han Jing returned to Villa No.1, she politely invited Dong Xuebing to stay for lunch. But Dong Xuebing could tell she was only being polite and rejected her offer. He drove out to a noodle restaurant and had a bowl of noodles, before returning to 305 Hospital. Liang Chengpeng is Dong Xuebing’s direct supervisor, and in the past, Dong Xuebing had no chance to form a good relationship with him. This is a rare opportunity and must not be missed.
Top floor, single wards.
Dong Xuebing brought some fruits and health supplements with him.
Liang Chengpeng’s wife stood up to receive him. “Why did you bring gifts with you? Thank you. Have a seat.”
Dong Xuebing pulled a chair over and asked. “How is the old lady?”
Liang Chengpeng replied. “Director Qin had come for a visit earlier and said everything is fine. After the wound for the scope heals, she can be discharged.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife looked at him. “Old Liang, I will be here taking care of mum. Why not you go back to the County tonight?”
Liang Chengpeng shook his head. “I will stay for a few more days.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “You all just arrived in Beijing in the morning and should not have booked a hotel right? Let me arrange for you.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife replied gratefully. “No, thanks. We don’t want to trouble you further. We will just look for a place from Beijing’s County Government Office later.” Although the instructions to remove Beijing’s County Government Office are out, but most of the county’s offices in Beijing are still around. They only changed the name to “Contact Center,” but they are again doing the same things.
“Haha… Beijing is also my hometown, and I must put up a good performance to impress my leader. Leave this to me.” Dong Xuebing really wants to impress his superior.
Liang Chengpeng thought for a while and nodded. He also wants to see how influential Dong Xuebing is.
Dong Xuebing remembered something and asked. “Chief Liang, did you drive over?”
Liang Chengpeng replied. “Last night, it was Xiao Sun who drove a police car to send us here. I don’t know when I am going back, and I asked Xiao Sun to go back first.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Oh, without a car, it is not convenient. Ok, I will help you get a car first and you can use it for the time being.”
Liang Chengpeng’s wife quickly shook her head. “Xiao Dong, it’s alright. It will be too troublesome for you.”
“It’s fine. It’s fine. “Dong Xuebing walked out to give Qu Yunxuan a call.
About 5 pm in the afternoon.
The old lady fell asleep again after she took her dinner. Dong Xuebing was afraid they would wake the old lady and went downstairs with Chief Liang and his wife. They walked out of the hospital’s building, and Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. He answered it and said something.
A few minutes later, a Mercedes Benz, S350L, stopped in the hospital compound.
Qu Yunxuan’s assistant, Xiao Tao, alighted and passed the keys to Dong Xuebing, before leaving in a taxi.
Liang Chengpeng and his wife were shocked. They knew how much this car cost. This is a Mercedes S class and not a C class!
Dong Xuebing smiled and passed the key to Chief Liang. “Please use this car first. I had asked someone to fill up the petrol.”
Liang Chengpeng looked at Dong Xuebing and took the key. In his heart, his impression of Dong Xuebing had increased. Chief Xiao Dong seemed to be doing very well in Beijing. But what surprises Liang Chengpeng and his wife the most was when Dong Xuebing drives his Buick MPV to bring them out for dinner. Liang Chengpeng saw the entry permit pasted on the windscreen and got shocked.
