934 It’s True (1/2)
”Doctor Zuo, shall we go together for the pick up at the airport?” Hospital Director Bo found Zuo Cidian and smiled to show his sincerity.
The Du family had signed all the surgery forms. As the medical intermediary, he had perfectly achieved all of his tasks. However, in order to create a relationship with Yun Hua Hospital and Ling Ran for the sake of a bright future, Hospital Director Bo did not want to just go away after he received his pay.
Businessmen who dealt with hospitals had a strong sense of humanity. Sometimes, or rather, most of the time, they would do things for the sake of forming relationships instead of solving problems.
It could also be said that the emotional support needed by doctors always came from the business people dealing with hospitals, and not from patients nor their family members. It was not wrong at all to say that this was a very ironic matter in the current modern hospital system.
Zuo Cidian smiled too and asked, ”Are they doctors you brought from overseas?”
”I don't have any choice.” Hospital Director Bo could tell exactly what a person was implying just by the choice of his words, and he immediately groaned. ”Since the customer's made such a request, we can only try to satisfy their need, isn't it? Actually, I've always been opposed to inviting foreign doctors over, but you know what's going on, people at Lao Yongyong's age always think that the grass is greener at the other side…”
”And what age are you exactly referring to?” Zuo Cidian became slightly wary.
Hospital Director Bo knew exactly what Zuo Cidian was unhappy about based on what he said, and quickly said, ”Just like the people at our seniors' age…”
Zuo Cidian immediately broke into a smile. ”Then, let's go together.”
”I'll drive.” Hospital Director Bo quickly served him, and his expression was on point.
He knew that if he were to invite Ling Ran to perform surgery or invite other doctors from Yun Hua Hospital to perform surgery, he needed to knock down the walls around Zuo Cidian. As the saying went, ”The lackeys are even more difficult to deal with than the boss.” This was especially so for old lackeys like Zuo Cidian. He would need to give him even more respect.
Hospital Director Bo purposely drove his Mercedes-Benz S-Class and opened the door for Zuo Cidian. This made the old resident doctor feel rather pleased.
”Good car,” Zuo Cidian praised.
”It's my friend's car. I deliberately borrowed it to pick the leaders up.” If Ling Ran had been to one to praise the car, Hospital Director Bo would have considered letting Ling Ran drive it. But for a lackey, even if he was an old one, there was no need for Hospital Director Bo to give him such an expensive gift.
Zuo Cidian chuckled. ”Truly, you live much better lives when you're working outside the hospital system. You can spend what you earn, and whatever money you earn is yours. You don't have to consider much when you buy a car to drive or do other things…”
Hospital Director Bo asked tentatively, ”Doctor Zuo, if you need some money…”
”If a man is full, his whole family would not starve.” Zuo Cidian waved his hand and looked completely free of worldly worries.
Based on Hospital Director Bo's observation, though, Zuo Cidian's eyes showed sadness, indignation, dejection, and helplessness…
Hospital Director Bo sighed secretly. The country held intensive crackdowns all the time, or else, he could bring Old Zuo to the places that could not be mentioned in the books, and all his problems would be solved.
…..
The three foreigner doctors flew over with their respective planes to the capital before they took a transit to come over. The medical staff of Junan Clinic and the interpreters accompanied them throughout the journey. They formed a huge group of people and came over following the passageway.
Zuo Cidian was impressed when he saw that. ”So many people? The flight tickets alone are going to cost tens of thousands RMB, right? I wonder what Chairman Du will think when he sees the bill.”
Hospital Director Bo tried to hint at something and said, ”If he still has the mood to look at the bill, he will be happy. Everyone has round trip tickets, and they have been allocated cabins with two-seat combinations, while the three foreign doctors will enjoy sitting in first-class cabins as they fly over from their countries. The total cost for transportation will be over hundreds of thousands RMB.”
'So rich,' Zuo Cidian thought in his heart. That was equivalent to the price of two or three of Lu Wenbin's BMWs.
Hospital Director Bo smiled. ”That's money from the shareholders. Tonca is a listed company… Welcome, Mister Faulkner.”
He moved forward and welcomed the doctors. He kept greeting them in English and German, ”Mister Dobin… Herr Corbert…”
