Jiang Li looked at the pretty woman in front of her and stood up from her chair.
He bowed deeply to Li Chu and Ding Qiunan.
"I don't know how to express my apology. I really didn't expect my brother to do such a thing. I'm so sorry. I apologize to you on my brother's behalf."
As she spoke, Jiang Li bowed to the two of them again.
"I didn't expect you to forgive him. You can tell me what you want, and I will definitely find a way to make it up to you. I'll do anything, even be your slave." The poor woman's eyes reddened as she spoke, but she still held back her tears.
"Sigh," Ding Qiunan sighed, walked over and helped Jiang Li, who was still bowing, up.
"Jiang Li, please sit down first."
Ding Qiunan poured her another glass of water and handed it to her.
At this moment, Li Chu spoke up: "Jiang Li, how did you know?"
“My brother hasn’t come home for the past few days. I thought he was away on business again, so I didn’t pay much attention. Last night, two colleagues from his workplace came over and asked me and my daughter to go with them. I knew something must have happened, but I never expected... I never expected him to do something like this.”
As she spoke, Jiang Li finally burst into tears, but she still forced herself to keep quiet.
Seeing this, Ding Qiunan felt a little sorry for her, so she went over, put her arm around her shoulder, and patted her.
Li Chu had told Jiang Li what had happened to her. She was indeed a pitiful woman. Now, she had finally managed to leave that place of heartbreak with her brother and start a new life in a strange city. But unexpectedly, her brother committed another crime. You can imagine how devastated she was.
While crying, Jiang Li suddenly stopped moving and her whole body went limp and slid to the ground.
Startled, Ding Qiunan grabbed her and said, "Li Chu, look what's wrong with her."
Li Chu had already come over and helped Ding Qiunan support Jiang Li's other arm. Together, the two of them carried Jiang Li and placed her on the bed behind the curtain.
After laying her down on the bed, Li Chu took her pulse.
"It's nothing, she was just too heartbroken. She probably didn't sleep at all last night, and since she was already weak, she fainted."
"It's not a big problem. I'll give her a couple of acupuncture treatments first, then I'll go get some medicine and brew it. You stay here with her for now."
Ding Qiunan looked at Jiang Li lying on the bed with some pity. When she helped her up earlier, she could feel how thin and bony she was under her clothes.
Li Chu walked over, took out acupuncture needles from his bag, disinfected them, and then came back.
But when he looked at Jiang Li, who was unconscious on the bed, and then at his wife, he hesitated.
Ding Qiunan knew what her husband was hesitating about, and said with a smile, "Alright, don't hesitate anymore. She's a patient right now. Do you think I'm such an unreasonable person?"
Li Chu smiled awkwardly before asking his wife to help Jiang Li unbutton her shirt.
After her clothes were removed, it became clear just how thin she was; her ribs were so prominent that she probably didn't have much flesh on her body.
Without looking at it for long, Li Chu went straight up and inserted a few needles, then told his wife to twist the needles every ten minutes and remove them after forty minutes.
After saying this, Li Chu left the clinic and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
First, I went to Director Yang's office to ask for leave for my wife, and then after getting the medicine, I went to prepare the decoction.
When they returned to the clinic after everything was done, Jiang Li had already woken up and was talking to Ding Qiunan.
When Jiang Li saw Li Chu enter, a blush rose on her face; she must have already figured out who had given her the acupuncture.
To avoid embarrassing her, Li Chu handed the prepared medicine to his wife and went to get his meal.
Li Chu doesn't know how to face Jiang Li right now.
Although Jiang Cheng did all those things without her knowing beforehand, Li Chu still had a knot in her heart that she hadn't untied.
Forget it, I'll leave this to my wife to handle.
Stopping thinking about the headache-inducing matter, Li Chu walked to the cafeteria entrance. There were still a few minutes before he got off work, and the cafeteria doors were not yet open.
"Dr. Li"
He heard a voice calling him from behind, and when Li Chu turned around, he saw it was Dean Yang.
This is awkward. It's not even time to leave work yet, and you eagerly come to eat, only to be caught red-handed by your boss. Li Chu wished there was a crack in the ground he could disappear into.
Dean Yang didn't mind that Li Chu came to eat early; truly capable people always have some privileges with their superiors.
"Dr. Li, Director Wang has already reported to me about the review this Friday. My advice is that you should do what you need to do and not be affected by those rumors."
At the same time, I have already arranged for the security department to investigate this matter. I want to see who spread this rumor, what their intentions are, and how they acted so disorganizedly and without discipline. This kind of person must be dealt with seriously.
It was clear that Dean Yang was very angry.
Of course I'd be angry. The more senior professionals a hospital has, the better the doctors' skills are.
For Dean Yang, these were his political achievements. He was an administrative officer who relied on his political achievements to get promoted.
If the person spreading the rumor does this, and Li Chu refuses to approve the application for Director Wang to avoid suspicion, then Dean Yang will really feel like he's swallowed a fly.
Li Chu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Dean Yang, I won't be affected by the rumors. With Director Wang's level of expertise, as long as he doesn't make a mistake on the spot, he'll definitely pass."
Upon hearing Li Chu's words, Dean Yang immediately beamed with joy and patted him on the shoulder.
"That's more like it. Since the department leaders are willing to let you participate in this review, it proves that they approve of you and believe you won't engage in favoritism or cheating. Dr. Li, go ahead and do your job with confidence. On behalf of the hospital committee, I promise that we will definitely give you and Director Wang an explanation for this matter."
"Alright, the cafeteria is open now, go eat!"
After saying that, Dean Yang waved his hand and left.
Watching Dean Yang's retreating figure, Li Chu smiled, turned around, and walked into the cafeteria.
This Dean Yang is just like the previous Dean Yang; he can completely delegate tasks that they don't understand to the other two vice deans in charge of the business.
I can delegate authority, but you must deliver results for me. That's Dean Yang's idea.
In fact, Li Chu quite liked this kind of person; they wouldn't pretend to know what they didn't and do something ridiculous.
Moreover, such people are quite easy to talk to as long as you don't block their career advancement.
There was one more person today, so Li Chu specially borrowed two lunch boxes from the cafeteria.
After getting her food and carrying the lunchbox back to the clinic, Jiang Li had already finished her medicine. When she saw Li Chu again, she was much more natural than before.
