Chapter 10 Discharge from the Hospital



Li Yong was woken up by the policeman and said, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry? This is a hospital, you can't shout like that!"

The policeman quickly lowered his voice and said, "Captain, didn't you tell me to call the chief yesterday? The chief sent people to investigate overnight and said there was nothing wrong with the wall!"

"No problem?"

Li Yong looked at the policeman with some disbelief and said, "Are you sure there's no problem?"

"There's really no problem. It was the director who said it. I just bought you food and asked him personally!"

Li Yong quickly turned to Tu Nan and said, "Brother, did you hear that? No problem, that wall has already been surveyed, are you relieved now?"

The policeman continued, "This wall is not only fine, it's also stronger than the others!"

Zhuang Tunan was instantly confused. He clearly saw that it was a shoddy construction project, so how could it be more solid now?

Zhuang Tunan couldn't understand it any more and more, but he stopped thinking about it after a while, since the wall was fine and everyone was all right, so there was no need to think about it anymore.

At this moment, the policeman who was eating said again, "The people sent by the chief had an unexpected surprise when they were surveying the wall."

Li Yong hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Pirated videotapes were found on the floor where construction was taking place!

"Video tape?"

"Yes, it must have been smuggled in. The chief has ordered us to investigate this matter with all our might!"

"Alas, what a pity about my leg! I can't help you anymore!"

At that moment, the ward door was pushed open, and people from the design institute came to see Zhuang Tunan.

As soon as the man saw Zhuang Tunan, he said, "Designer Zhuang, how are you? Is your leg feeling any better?"

Zhuang Tunan smiled at the other person and said, "It's alright! Although it still hurts a little occasionally, it's not as painful as it was at the beginning!"

"That's good. Rest and recuperate, you'll get better!"

"Thank you for your concern, boss!"

"We're all colleagues, isn't this the proper thing to do? By the way, the deputy director asked me to ask you about the questions I mentioned yesterday. Have you made your choices yet?"

Zhuang Tunan looked at Huang Ling and asked, "Mom, how did you discuss this with Dad?"

Huang Ling then said, "We need a one-time payment, something that can be done with the money!"

The person from the design institute said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to the deputy director and have them transfer the money to you."

"Thank you for your concern, boss!"

"You can't say that. Designer Zhuang works for our design firm, so of course our firm is responsible!"

"Okay, boss, can Tu Nan still work at the design institute?"

"Normally, our design institute can't do without Tu Nan, since he's the chief designer. But he just got injured, and it's inconvenient for him to go up and down stairs. The design institute is also messy, and we're afraid he might bump into something again. So, let him rest at home!"

"What if my Tunan recovers after a while?"

"Can we reschedule once things have resumed?"

"That,,!"

Just as Huang Ling was about to ask a few more questions, the person from the design institute glanced at Zhuang Tunan and said, "Is there nothing else here? If not, I won't bother you any longer. We'll contact you again if anything comes up!"

After finishing speaking, the person from the design institute walked outside. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhuang Chaoying. Perhaps he didn't recognize Zhuang Chaoying, so he didn't say anything and just walked past.

Zhuang Chaoying walked into the house and said, "Huang Ling, is something wrong at home again?"

Huang Ling looked at Zhuang Chaoying with suspicion and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't we tell you not to come?"

"Yes, I didn't want to come either. I was just about to go to my parents' house to wish them a Happy New Year, but the factory committee came to our house instead!"

What are they going there for?

"They said they won't let us run our after-school care program anymore!"

"Why can't they let us do it? Why do they interfere in everything? Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?"

Zhuang Chaoying glanced awkwardly at Li Yong, then continued to Huang Ling, "Keep your voice down, this is a hospital, they said our cooking environment doesn't meet hygiene standards!"

"What hygiene issues? They're just jealous because they saw how well we were cooking, so they didn't give them good food and are deliberately making trouble for us!"

"Whether it's real or intentional, you need to talk to them calmly and rationally. You can't offend them, otherwise similar things will happen again in the future!"

"Alright, you stay here and look after Tu Nan, I'll go to the factory committee to see what's going on?"

"Okay, but don't get angry when you go, otherwise it won't solve the problem, it will only make it worse!"

"Alright, I got it. You can stay here. Sometimes you can't be too honest; the more honest you are, the more you'll get bullied!"

After speaking, Huang Ling walked outside, intending to go to the factory committee to find out more about the matter.

Zhuang Chaoying, who remained, sat down beside Zhuang Tunan's bed and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling any better today?"

Zhuang Tunan said, "It's alright! It doesn't hurt as much as yesterday!"

"Okay, as long as it doesn't hurt, you won't suffer. It will get better with time. Do you want some water? I'll pour you a glass!"

"No need, Dad. You should rest for a while! I'll let you know if you need anything."

A nurse came in from outside and said to Zhuang Tunan, "Zhuang Tunan, you can be discharged now!"

"Discharged?" Zhuang Chaoying asked in disbelief, "Nurse, are you sure you're not mistaken? He's only been in the hospital for two days, how can he be discharged already?"

The nurse said helplessly, "Can you please stop asking me so many questions? It's not like our hospital discharged him. Judging from his condition, he should stay in the hospital for at least another two weeks. But his company, the design institute, has already completed the discharge procedures for him. Since the procedures are all done, we naturally have to notify you of his discharge!"

Why did the design firm process his discharge from the hospital so early?

"That's your business. How would I know what agreements you have with the design institute?"

Zhuang Tunan hurriedly said, "Dad, don't argue with the nurses. My mom talked to the design firm, and they said they want 100,000 yuan upfront. Maybe they're just buying out my medical bills and letting me leave the hospital!"

"How can this design firm operate like this? You pay upfront, but you can't force someone to leave the hospital!"

Zhuang Tunan quickly comforted Zhuang Chaoying, saying, "Dad, don't be angry. Since we agreed to give you the money in one lump sum, we have to accept it since we chose this option, right?"

"That's way too fast! They didn't give you any chance to catch your breath, just saying you're out of the hospital and then you're out!"

"What's wrong, Uncle?"

Xiang Pengfei appeared at the door, carrying a lot of things.

As soon as Zhuang Chaoying saw Xiang Pengfei, she said, "Pengfei, thank goodness you're here. The hospital is letting Tu Nan be discharged, and I was just wondering what to do."

"Discharged? Why are you being discharged? You've only been in the hospital for two days, that's way too fast!"

"Didn't the design firm promise to give us 100,000 yuan? We agreed to their terms, but we didn't expect that they would discharge us from the hospital so soon after we agreed. Maybe the 100,000 yuan includes the cost of the hospitalization!"

Xiang Pengfei hurriedly asked Zhuang Tunan, "How is it, brother? Is it okay? Otherwise, should we go through the hospital admission procedures again?"

Zhuang Tunan said, "There's no need for that. I feel it's fine to go back. I don't need an IV drip. I can rest anywhere. Going home is the same."

"Okay, then I'll go buy you a wheelchair, let's go home!"

After saying that, Xiang Pengfei turned to Zhuang Chaoying and said, "Uncle, you guys stay here for a while! I'm going to buy a wheelchair for Brother Tu Nan, and then we'll take my car back!"

"Okay, your brother and I will wait for you!"

Xiang Pengfei then turned and left the ward.

At this moment, Li Yong said to the policeman, "He's the one from the construction site the night before last. Go and ask him about what happened that night!"

"Yes, Captain, I'll go right away!"
