Chapter 177 Investigation and Gift Giving
Dean Kong's outright refusal startled Liang Lü and Tong Lü. Before Jiang Ning could speak, Dean Kong refused on her behalf.
Both of them agreed that Dean Kong wanted to keep Jiang Ning's pill in order to make the hospital famous.
But what Dean Kong said next made them feel ashamed and realize that they had misunderstood.
Dean Kong said, "It's not that I don't trust you two, but there's always a chance of something going wrong. If Dr. Jiang's prescription goes wrong, she can't take the responsibility. The prescription is in the hospital, so if anything happens, I can take the blame for her."
That's not what he really wanted to say. What he really wanted to say was that if someone were to claim credit for it, all of Jiang Ning's hard work would be wasted.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Liang and Tong, but people's hearts are unpredictable.
He wouldn't allow any mistakes to happen to Jiang Ning's hard work.
With him personally overseeing things, at least Jiang Ning's hard work can be well protected.
Liang and Tong agreed with Dean Kong's words. They were good at leading troops into battle, but they lacked the shrewdness to handle many complex matters.
This report was also written a bit hastily.
Liang Lü still wanted to ask Jiang Ning's opinion, "Dr. Jiang, what are your thoughts?"
No one objected to Dean Kong's arrangement. "I'll listen to the dean," Jiang Ning said.
Liang and Tong did not insist.

A few days later, Dean Kong learned that people from the General Military Hospital had come to inspect the hospitals in the capital and finally determined the location of the Capital Military Hospital.
The General Military Hospital only sent two representative doctors, who were responsible for inspecting all the hospitals in the capital.
Dean Kong had been in Shanxi Province for many years and still had some connections. He learned of the news from a friend and immediately began preparations. In fact, he didn't do much preparation. He had thoroughly purged the hospital's Western medicine department, driving away all the bad apples, so no one would affect the investigation.
He even mentally prepared a draft of what he would say on behalf of Jiang Ning when the doctor came to inspect the place, so that he wouldn't accidentally blurt out Jiang Ning's name in his nervousness.
Even if their hospital wasn't selected as a site for a military hospital, he still had to promote Jiang Ning.
He wouldn't selfishly keep such a talented person in the hospital; instead, he should let her shine in a wider world.
His original purpose was simple: the People's Hospital serves the people, so he invited Jiang Ning.
But it's a waste of her talent to only serve the people. Such a person should be handed over to the country, because only with a country can there be people.
The representative doctor from the General Military Hospital would only stay in the capital for half a month. Half a month passed in a flash, but Dean Kong waited and waited but no one came.
Two days before the representative doctor was to leave, Dean Kong couldn't sit still and asked around to find out why the representative doctor hadn't come to their hospital for inspection.
But when they inquired, they were shocked.
The representative doctor from the General Military Hospital actually wanted to go back.
But they haven't even come to the People's Hospital for an inspection yet, why are they going back already!
Dean Kong found out the other party's train information through someone and rushed to the train station without stopping.
When he arrived at the train station, he saw a representative doctor from the General Military Hospital exchanging pleasantries with three people.
Shen Pianran was very excited. She took Chen Man's arm and looked at Chen Man from time to time with admiration and gratitude in her eyes.
Chen Man's research at the hospital went very smoothly, and Shen Pianran also became a member of her research team.
After she started following Chen Man, their relationship grew closer and closer. This time, the hospital director even invited people from the General Military Hospital to come.
The representative doctors from the General Military Hospital were taken by the hospital director to inspect Chen Man's research department as soon as they arrived. After learning that Chen Man's special medicine was very effective, they immediately decided to make their hospital the site of the Capital Military Hospital.
Once their hospital becomes a military hospital, these doctors will naturally benefit as well, and it will sound better to them.
This time, when the doctor was leaving, the hospital director even brought her and Chen Man along to see him off, hoping to get some exposure.
Sometimes, personal connections are really important.
Upon seeing the two men, Dean Kong immediately walked over and asked, "Are you two doctors representing the General Region of the Military Hospital?"
Dean Kong's sudden interruption immediately drew the attention of the group of people who were exchanging pleasantries to him.
The other person paused for a moment, "Who are you?"
Dean Kong introduced himself, "I am the dean of the People's Hospital, and my surname is Kong."
After the introduction, he didn't give them a chance to ask questions and immediately said, "You two came to the capital to select a site for a military hospital. You haven't even inspected our hospital yet, why are you leaving already?"
Upon hearing this, Dean Lin, who was standing next to Chen Man and Shen Pianran, immediately knew that the other party had come to intercept them. He immediately handed over the package in his hand, which was bulging with contents.
Upon seeing this, Dean Kong couldn't help but frown.
Because he saw a corner of the package sticking out, he saw cigarettes, alcohol, and other items, and they weren't cheap stuff.
He's lived to be this old; how could he not see the value of these things?
Dean Kong snorted coldly.
Hospitals are supposed to be places for treating illnesses and saving lives. He never made any plans against his conscience to try to have a long career in the hospital. If it weren't for the fact that he was so focused on helping Jiang Ning to have a better future, he would have been waiting for the people from the General Military Hospital to come and inspect the hospital.
But he never expected that even in this kind of investigation, he would have to go through such a complicated process.
The word "fairness" can sometimes be really unfair!
Dean Lin handed the items to the two doctor representatives. After they accepted them, he glanced at Dean Kong's hand and, seeing that there was nothing in it, a smile appeared on his face.
Dean Lin said, "The two of them have visited several hospitals in a row and are already very tired. Why would they bother to make an extra trip to some unknown hospitals?"
Seeing that the other party had accepted the gift, Dean Kong said sarcastically, "Openly accepting gifts, do you think if I wrote a report to the General Military Hospital, they would investigate you two?"
It was clearly not a big deal, but what Dean Kong said startled the two doctor representatives who had just received the gift.
"Dean Kong!" Dean Lin suddenly widened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Just focus on being a good dean of the People's Hospital, don't be so clueless about how to behave!"
He had never met such a stubborn person.
In interpersonal relationships, no one would be so calculating. He openly took out the gifts hoping to make the other party back down, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot!
Perhaps Dean Kong's words frightened the two men from the General Military Hospital. Although they looked unwell, after exchanging glances, one of them said to Dean Kong, "We still have some time to go to the People's Hospital."
Their words imply a softening of their stance.
But after Dean Kong personally witnessed them accepting gifts, he no longer trusted them.
Dean Kong smiled at them and said, "In my capacity as the director of the People's Hospital, I request that the General Military Hospital send another representative to inspect the hospital."
Dean Kong's attitude was firm.
The two doctors hadn't expected the other party to be so tactless. Although they were annoyed with him, they didn't dare say anything provocative.
Otherwise, if the other party submits a whistleblower letter, it will indeed have some impact on them.
The two immediately handed the package back to Dean Lin.
