The hospital is unlikely to readily honor the compensation claims made by victims including Sun Aimin, but is already prepared to go to court.
After all, it was quite easy for their hospital to fight against those powerless families. They had a professional team of lawyers who could first negotiate with the victims individually, strive for a settlement, and dismantle these people from within.
By then, even if some individuals are tough nuts to crack, without the support of other victim families, can they still make any waves?
At that time, this mass incident can be classified as an individual incident and directed towards "work errors".
Even if the people involved in the case end up going to jail, it will minimize the impact of public opinion on the hospital.
However, the most important thing now is to deal with those reporters first to prevent them from reporting these things in advance and putting the hospital in a passive position.
After Sun Aimin and his group left with the reporters, Yue Changhua immediately reported the incident to the dean. At the dean's instruction, Yue Changhua led his men to the hotel where the reporters were staying that day.
A group of five reporters, three men and two women, began to organize information and prepare to write press releases after returning from the hospital.
They brought a laptop and backed up all the information they obtained today on the computer, and sent a copy to the colleagues who stayed behind in the unit just in case.
After all, this is someone else's territory. If the hospital wants to suppress the matter, there is no guarantee that they will not forcibly destroy the evidence.
As they expected, they returned to the hotel in the afternoon and the hospital sent someone in the evening.
Yue Changhua found out the hotel where the reporter was staying and came with "sincerity".
He first knocked on the door of the room of three male reporters. The reporters saw three people standing outside the door through the peephole. The first one was the director of the dispute office who was negotiating with the victims today.
The two people behind him also appeared at the scene today, and it seems that they are also staff members of the hospital dispute office.
The reporter opened the door a crack, poked his head in, and asked, "Director Yue, what are you doing?"
Yue Changhua put on a smile and said, "Reporter, you are all smart people and should know why I came here today. Can we talk for a moment?"
The reporter looked back at his other two colleagues, and when he saw them nod, he opened the door, let Yue Changhua and his two followers in, and then closed the door casually.
The three reporters were all on high alert. Yue Changhua spoke first: "Everyone, we're here to resolve this matter today. Don't be nervous. Can we sit down and talk it over?"
There happened to be several stacked stools in the room. Jiang Ming spread out the stools and motioned for them to sit down and talk. Jiang Ming and his two colleagues, Zhao Liang and Su Qingfeng, sat on their respective single beds.
Yue Changhua said, "You should all be very clear about what happened in the hospital today. Our hospital is indeed responsible for failing to supervise what happened to those families.
However, they did not come to the hospital first. Instead, they organized themselves and came directly to you. To be honest, this approach is somewhat extreme.
Our hospital is rated as an advanced tertiary hospital every year. If this matter ruins the hospital's reputation, it won't do them any good. Why bother? Don't you agree?"
Jiang Ming responded, "Director Yue, you can't say that. As victims, they have the right to demand compensation and the right to have the truth of the matter made public."
If a hospital only tries to cover up a problem and protect its reputation, who will protect the interests of the victims? If the crimes of those involved are not exposed, and the public remains unaware and unwary, will others follow suit, exploiting the situation to make a fortune and disregard human lives?
Yue Changhua scoffed at Jiang Ming's statement. "In fact, they are making a big deal out of this. In the final analysis, they are just trying to get more compensation. Why don't they sit down and have a good talk with us about the compensation issue?"
Their child has now been found, so the loss wasn't significant. If they want to claim compensation, we'll pay it. As long as they agree to stop causing trouble at the hospital, we'll definitely give them a satisfactory amount.
But we're not here today to discuss the compensation issue for those families. We'd like to discuss with you journalists whether you could refrain from sharing what you filmed and saw today.
Those families were at the hospital for the first time today, and they were probably too excited to say anything. There's still time to act. If you just release the news without any consideration, both of us will be put in a difficult position.
Can we wait until we have a proper discussion with them? Don't worry, we won't let your efforts go in vain!"
As he spoke, he opened a black backpack he was carrying and took out a few red envelopes. "I remember you have two female colleagues, right? Can you call them over as well?"
This is a small token of our hospital's appreciation, as compensation for your hard work today. We only have one request: that you delete the content you filmed today!"
The three reporters looked at each other and rejected Yue Changhua's bribe.
Yue Changhua smiled and said, "This is just a small token of our appreciation. Don't worry about it. This is our territory, so we're just being kind to you."
What Yue Changhua said seemed to be a double entendre to several reporters. On the surface, it seemed like he was taking care of them, but in fact, it was an implicit threat, telling them that if they dared to disobey, don't blame them, the local tyrants, for being rude.
Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Yue Changhua's smile slowly faded. He said, "Are you dissatisfied with my low position and unwilling to give me face? How about we ask our dean to come and talk to you personally?"
Jiang Ming said with a serious expression, "We are just doing our normal work. We don't need anyone from your hospital to come and talk to us. We know exactly how our work should be carried out. If outsiders interfere, it will only make things worse!"
Seeing the other party's refusal to budge, Yue Changhua felt both anxious and angry. If he couldn't complete the bribery task assigned by the dean today, he didn't know what kind of trouble these people would cause.
He could only up the ante and pulled out a few more thick manila envelopes from his bag, silently cursing these young reporters for appearing noble on the surface but actually being too greedy. The red envelopes they had offered the first time were too small, so they must have been unimpressed.
As a result, those people remained unmoved when they saw the thick envelope.
