Upon hearing the voice, Doctor Zhang Chaozhong slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Liu Ye, Xiao Jian, and Xiao Mengjie in turn, carefully examining them from head to toe.
Liu Ye was wearing an elegant dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind.
Xiao Jian, on the other hand, wore a well-tailored suit, looking exceptionally sharp and capable. Judging solely from their attire, they certainly exuded a unique and distinctive aura.
Zhang Chaozhong was about to nod in agreement when a discordant voice suddenly rang out.
"Hmph! What a show-off! Don't you even know where you are? How dare you spout such nonsense about not caring about the cost and demanding the best treatment conditions?"
Don't you know how much it costs per day to stay in the intensive care unit and in a VIP ward?
Everyone present turned to look and found that the speaker was a middle-aged woman.
She was estimated to be in her forties, slightly overweight, with heavy makeup on her face. At this moment, she was standing with her arms crossed, staring at Liu Ye and the others with a look full of disdain and mockery.
Seeing this, Zhang Chaozhong frowned slightly and whispered a reprimand.
"Director Fu, please watch your words!"
However, the middle-aged woman, who was called Director Fu, did not seem to take his warning to heart. Instead, she continued to say loudly, "Old Zhang, you are a highly respected person, so naturally you don't want to lower yourself to the level of these people."
But as the head of the finance department, I can't just stand by and watch them spout nonsense here.
Our hospital isn't a charity. If they can't afford the high medical bills, who will bear the responsibility?
Although her tone was quite arrogant and rude, upon closer examination, it was not entirely without reason.
After all, Jiaonan Provincial Hospital is currently the most prestigious medical institution in Jiaonan Province with first-class medical conditions. Naturally, the treatment fees it charges are also quite high, arguably the highest in the province.
The people standing in front of him at this moment, although not poorly dressed, were ultimately from a relatively small and remote area like Shang County.
It is only natural that people lack sufficient awareness and understanding of the high medical costs in this area.
If, as Liu Ye suggests, all medical arrangements are made to be perfect, using only the most advanced equipment and medications, what will happen if they are unable to afford such an enormous expense?
You should know that these kinds of matters need to be handled entirely by the finance department.
Moreover, similar situations have occurred before, and in the end, the hospitals often had to bear the costs that could not be recovered.
Thinking of this, Dr. Zhang felt a bit caught in a dilemma, and his initial thought of refuting the idea vanished instantly.
So he could only silently turn his searching gaze back to the willow leaves beside him.
At this moment, Liu Ye's once fair and delicate face was now as gloomy as a stagnant pool. Her usually gentle and lively eyebrows were now tightly furrowed together, as if they were locked by an invisible lock and could not be relaxed.
But on that delicate little face, a chilling anger was subtly rising.
However, just as she was about to speak, Xiao Jian behind her was already furious and unable to contain himself.
Suddenly, he reached out and ripped off the enormous cloth bag that was slung across his shoulder.
The cloth bag was bulging, as if it were filled with heavy objects, and it weighed heavily in his hands.
Without hesitation, Xiao Jian swung his arm, and the cloth bag shot out like a cannonball, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, straight towards Section Chief Fu in the distance.
Because it happened so suddenly, the people around had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the cloth bag crossed the crowd and hit Section Chief Fu directly.
Section Chief Fu was standing there, completely unprepared, when he saw a dark shadow flash before his eyes, followed by a tremendous impact.
Instinctively, she quickly reached out her hands to catch the cloth bag that was flying towards her.
However, when she actually touched the cloth bag, she found that its weight was far greater than she had imagined.
The immense force crashed down on her like a mountain, causing her to involuntarily stagger backward.
A scream rang out, and Section Chief Fu's voice was sharp and piercing, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"You bastard, what do you think you're doing?"
Xiao Jian's face was full of anger, his eyes wide open, like an angry tiger.
He raised one finger high, pointed at Section Chief Fu, and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Open your eyes and take a good look. Is there enough money in here? If you delay my brother's treatment, I'll tear down your lousy hospital."
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Fu was taken aback at first, and then looked down at the inconspicuous cloth bag in his hand with some disbelief.
After hesitating for a moment, she slowly reached out and pulled the zipper on the top of the bag, carefully unzipping it little by little.
As the zipper was gradually opened, stacks of neatly arranged 100-yuan bills appeared before everyone.
"ah!"
It's unclear who was the first to exclaim in surprise.
"Wow!"
Immediately afterwards, more people joined in the exclamation.
"They actually have that much money?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
... ...
The backpack was bulging with cash, containing at least two or three hundred thousand yuan, each bundle still sealed.
It even exudes the unique scent of banknote ink, which is intoxicating.
