Chapter 28
The dean wanted to explain.
He forced a dry smile and said, "This is really a misunderstanding. We've been mistaken for each other; we're all family, yet we don't recognize each other."
Hu Zhenzhen retorted directly, "Who's family with you?"
Jiang Chen hugged Hu Zhenzhen's leg, "Yes, we're not family!"
The dean chuckled dryly. "It was my fault for barging in and spouting nonsense without even knowing what happened. I apologize to you. Please don't get so angry. Let's discuss this again."
Hu Zhenzhen gave a fake laugh, "Hehe."
"How would you like to resolve this matter to your satisfaction?"
The dean genuinely wanted to keep this profitable business going, and despite his advanced age, he wasn't afraid of losing face. He bent over without hesitation, saying, "Isn't it enough that I bow to you in apology?"
"Don't," Hu Zhenzhen said with a cold smile, "I've already spent millions. Your bow isn't worth that much."
The dean is a partner, but not the owner of the house.
The hospital was demolished, and he won't receive any compensation for the demolition.
"So how can you vent your anger?"
The dean glanced sideways and saw the doctor pretending to be dead in the corner. "Today's conflict was caused by Dr. Li's attitude towards patients. I'm firing him right now to vent your anger."
"Dean!" the doctor said, trying to put in a good word for himself.
Hu Zhenzhen immediately raised her hand to interrupt this unpleasant scene, "There's no need. The hospital's gone, what difference does it make whether you fire him or not?"
An expert who can only prescribe painkillers is enough to prove the hospital's level of competence.
This hospital may have misdiagnosed many patients, and Hu Zhenzhen felt perfectly justified in dismantling the hospital.
“You can’t say that. There’s only one hospital on Xijingmen Street. We’ve offended you, and we can’t let the patients pay for it. If the hospital is demolished, where will they go for treatment?”
At this point, the hospital director started by appealing to the patients' interests.
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Hu Zhenzhen said as she dialed Chen Kai’s number.
"Chen Kai, your vacation may have to end early."
"Tell Liu An and the others to prepare a car and bring Dr. Zhou and his apprentice to Xijingmen Street."
Xijingmen Street?
This street is right next to the Fubao Orphanage, and Chen Kai knows it.
"Boss, you went to Xijingmen Street?"
Chen Kai immediately understood, and his nose tingled with emotion. "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
“This is no trouble. I’m at Tianpu Hospital. Please bring your doctor over as soon as possible. Oh, and remember to ask Dr. Zhou if he knows any other doctors who are not yet employed. If any are willing to provide free medical services, please bring them along. I’ll pay for it.”
Chen Kai was nearby, and upon hearing Hu Zhenzhen's words, he realized that there was something wrong with the hospital.
"I'll be right there, please wait a moment, boss."
He sent a message to Liu An, who was still at the villa. Liu An, realizing his boss had gone out, stood up in surprise and replied to Chen Kai: "I'll be there soon."
The boss took the young master, and the two of them went to Xihua District, near Xijingmen Street, a place where all sorts of people mingle. Liu An was really worried that something might happen to them.
At Hu Zhenzhen's command, the previously stationary Woshan Villa started turning smoothly and methodically, like a wound-up gear.
The dean, who had been praising her for so long, was also furious.
Seeing that Hu Zhenzhen wouldn't listen to reason, he decided to try a tougher approach.
No matter how rich she is, she's now in his hospital. Including the child, she only has three people, while he has the entire hospital staff.
"I advise you to think carefully about Ms. Hu. You are in the hospital now, and the hospital is full of my people. No matter how rich you are, you are all alone and powerless here. You should at least give me some face, right?"
Hu Zhenzhen almost laughed when she heard that threat.
Yang Lin turned around warily and stood near Hu Zhenzhen, saying, "Boss, don't worry, the people I called are already downstairs."
As they were talking, a commotion broke out in the hallway.
A row of young men with dyed yellow and green hair lined up and entered the room, calling out, "Brother Yang!"
The leader was a blond-haired guy with a rooster-comb hairstyle. He was very perceptive; seeing Yang Lin standing next to Hu Zhenzhen, he knew that Yang Lin was an even more formidable figure, so he consciously stood behind Hu Zhenzhen.
A dozen or so people crammed into the small clinic, squeezing the doctor, who was pretending to be dead in the corner, against the wall.
The dean's so-called numerical advantage also vanished.
He immediately lost his arrogance, nervously swallowed, and awkwardly glanced at the people who had come in.
Putting everything else aside, these young men with their brightly dyed hair are clearly skilled fighters.
The conflict seemed imminent.
The hospital director called out anxiously, "Dr. Li, come here!"
Dr. Li, who was playing dead perfectly well: "..."
The mental pressure of being surrounded by more than a dozen gazes at once is something not everyone can handle.
Dr. Li's hair stood on end. "Dean, don't call me anymore, I was just fired!"
He was decisive, and a real opportunist. Seeing this, he simply took off his white coat and threw it on the table, saying, "I'm unemployed. I'm not Dr. Li anymore."
He wanted to take the opportunity to walk towards the door, hoping to leave on his last breath.
Unfortunately, there were also people brought by Huang Mao at the door, and before Dr. Li could even walk out, he was pushed back.
"Leave? Did I say you could leave?"
Dr. Li's smile was more like a grimace as he turned to Hu Zhenzhen and said, "Well, I apologize to you. I was rude. I'm sorry, please forgive me, Ms. Hu."
He stood up straight, head bowed, looking repentant.
The phrase "arrogant at first, obsequious at second" was perfectly embodied in him.
Hu Zhenzhen showed no sign of forgiving him. In response to Dr. Li's apology, she asked him again.
Do you have a medical license?
"This..." Dr. Li glanced awkwardly at the hospital director out of the corner of his eye, "I do have one, but it's a fake certificate."
Now that things have come to this point, all he hopes for is to be able to leave this place safely.
The hospital's reputation and such are no longer his concern from now on.
Dr. Li felt perfectly justified in betraying the hospital director, since it was the director who first said he wanted to fire him.
"The pharmacist certificates were also bought by the hospital director; each of us experts received one."
There were still patients in the corridor outside who hadn't finished walking.
Dr. Li's words were clearly heard by everyone.
"Bought certificates? You're not doctors at all?"
One patient exclaimed incredulously, "Dr. Li, you clearly said you were an expert in treating kidney disease!"
He held up his medical record. "You told me last time that if I followed the treatment you prescribed, I could recover in a year!"
Dr. Li turned her face away in embarrassment.
At this point, it was too late for him not to give up entirely.
"That's all a lie. The hospital director told me to do it! You should go to another hospital for treatment."
The patient was devastated.
His hair was gray, and he looked to be over fifty years old. When he received this answer out of the blue, he swayed and had to lean against the wall to steady himself.
The man looked like he was about to faint.
Hu Zhenzhen patted Yang Lin beside her, "Give me a hand!"
She spoke, still ordering Yang Ge around.
The blond-haired boy standing next to Yang Lin knew how to get things done and immediately nodded and bowed, "I'll help you up, I'll help you up!"
He was, after all, the leader of the group. When the blond-haired man moved, the others followed suit. The old man didn't fall and was helped to sit on a chair in the waiting area.
"Grandpa, please don't get so worked up."
The blond-haired man even patted the old man on the back in a very professional manner.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Dr. Li awkwardly continued, "Um, may I leave now?"
Hu Zhenzhen looked up at him, still remembering how arrogant he was and how he tried to hit a child.
Having vented half her anger, Hu Zhenzhen wasn't so angry anymore.
But if such a person is released, he will only bully the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and will only harm society.
Hu Zhenzhen clicked her tongue. "Well then, since I'm the one who made you lose your job, I'll give you another one so you won't throw a tantrum on Xijingmen Street because you have no income."
Dr. Li forced a smile and said, "Mr. Hu, how could I throw a tantrum? I already know I was wrong. Don't worry, I will definitely change in the future."
Hu Zhenzhen didn't believe this statement at all.
"How can I know if you'll change or not?"
"From now on, you'll follow—"
Hu Zhenzhen's gaze swept over the people present, landing on the blond-haired boy. She pointed and said, "Follow him."
Huang Mao was overjoyed to find out that he was involved, and quickly patted his chest to assure him, "Boss, leave it to me."
“Since I demolished a hospital on Xijingmen Street, I will give you another one here.”
“Once the new hospital is built, you will be the director of the health department,” Hu Zhenzhen said with a smirk, giving Huang Mao a position on the spot. “You will be in charge of the hospital’s health department. Dr. Li prescribed so many wrong medications before, it’s time to do something to make up for the patients’ trauma.”
"From now on, he'll be under your supervision, and his main responsibility will be cleaning the toilets."
The blond-haired man couldn't help but chuckle.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll definitely make him repent for his past mistakes!"
Dr. Li protested, "I'm no longer an employee of this hospital. Even if you, Mr. Hu, are rich, you can't force me to work for you."
Logically speaking, it is indeed not possible.
However—
Hu Zhenzhen tore down the hospital brochure stuck to the wall and threw it in front of him.
"Do you want me to tell you the crime of practicing medicine without a license? Or do you want to go straight to prison and see if the prison food is salty or bland?"
Dr. Li froze.
He prescribed so many medications in the past; in terms of sentencing, it's not something that can be done in just a few months.
"Mr. Hu, let's talk this over. I'll do it, I'll do it, okay? Thank you for giving me a job. I will definitely work hard in the future."
Dr. Li turned to the blond-haired man and gave him a fawning smile.
"I will definitely listen to this health leader and work hard."
Hu Zhenzhen did want to send them to the police station immediately, but this kind of case required collecting a large number of witnesses and evidence.
If she lets them escape now, it will take the police a lot of effort to catch them once the case is accepted.
It would be better for her to detain the people first, secretly send someone to report the case, and let the police investigate slowly. When the police come to arrest them, this group of fake doctors who abuse drugs can be caught in one fell swoop.
Thinking this way, Hu Zhenzhen felt much better.
She did a good deed today.
Huang Mao was very quick to respond and approached Hu Zhenzhen, saying, "Boss, once our hospital opens, one cleaner won't be enough. Tell me how many more you need, and I'll find them for you."
Hu Zhenzhen gave him an approving look, "What's your name?"
Huang Mao seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Boss, my name is Huang Bao, you can just call me Xiao Huang."
"Xiao Huang, then you can handle the communication. All the original staff of this hospital, except for the cleaners, will stay and prepare to work as cleaners in the new hospital."
Yang Shu's eyelids twitched as he listened.
"Boss, we don't need this many cleaners, do we?"
Hu Zhenzhen thought about it and realized it made sense. There were at least a dozen doctors, plus the hospital director and department heads, making at least twenty. It seemed like a waste of manpower to have them all cleaning toilets at the hospital.
She smiled and patted Yang Lin on the shoulder.
"You reminded me. I donated a lot of public toilets on Central Avenue. Since we've already donated toilets to the government, let's go all the way and hire the cleaners too."
She gestured with her chin toward Xiao Huang.
"Xiao Huang, you'll be in charge of this from now on."
Before saying this, Hu Zhenzhen specifically asked Xiao Jin, "What is Huang Bao's talent?"
[We have checked for you; it appears you are opportunistic.]
"To be opportunistic" doesn't sound like a very good word.
But Hu Zhenzhen quite liked it.
As long as she is strong enough and remains the driving force, Huang Bao will be sensible enough to work hard for her.
Generally speaking, such people also have a strong sense of crisis.
If he were to manage these long-time employees of Tianpu Hospital, the chances of these guys who prescribe drugs indiscriminately and harm people running away would be much smaller.
Hu Zhenzhen patted Huang Mao on the shoulder, "Then I'll entrust the task of persuading others to come and work to you. Good luck, do a good job."
To get a donkey to run, praise alone isn't enough; you also need a carrot.
"Annual salary of 200,000 yuan, plus bonuses."
That last short sentence was enough to make everyone in the room excited.
The group of people Yang Lin summoned were somewhat different from what Hu Zhenzhen had expected.
They were petty thugs, but not the kind who would get into fights or cause trouble.
They were the kind of people who couldn't find proper jobs and could only drift around on the streets to make a living. These people usually lived by doing part-time jobs, and Yang Lin would occasionally give them work, so they followed him.
Those odd jobs only earn a hundred yuan a day, which is considered a lot. I've never heard of a high salary of over ten thousand yuan a month.
Just by watching others clean toilets, they can earn so much money?
The remaining dozen or so people all swallowed hard.
One of the bolder ones opened his mouth and said, "Boss, are you still hiring? I'm really good at cleaning toilets."
His thinking was simple: even if he couldn't earn a high salary like Huang Mao, earning an ordinary three thousand yuan would be good, as it would be stable.
This wealthy female boss looks very capable.
Maybe she could earn more than others even cleaning toilets.
Dr. Li and the hospital director stood to one side, their eyes wide with surprise at the fact that someone was even vying for the job of cleaning the toilets.
Is cleaning toilets some kind of good job?
"You want to clean toilets?"
Hu Zhenzhen was also surprised and asked him again.
The young man had dyed his hair green and looked like a rebellious boy, but he was surprisingly polite when he spoke. "Yes, I think working with the boss is more promising."
He speaks like a reliable person.
Hu Zhenzhen took a quick look at the system.
[Talent: Assistance from benefactors.]
Hmm? What does this talent mean?
Does this mean this young man will have benefactors helping him throughout his life?
Hu Zhenzhen became interested, not for any other reason than to figure out this talent, and she also wanted to keep the person here.
"Besides cleaning toilets, what else do you think you can do?"
This is the boss giving him a chance.
The green-haired young man understood, and his hands trembled with nervousness. "I... I can cut hair, dye hair, I can dye hair too."
He tried his best to promote himself.
"I can cut several different hairstyles; I do everyone's hair."
Goodness.
So, the hairstyles of this non-mainstream boy band were all his doing.
Hu Zhenzhen suppressed her laughter and couldn't speak for a moment.
Jiang Chen, who had been quietly staying beside Hu Zhenzhen, looked up at him with admiration, "Wow, that's amazing!"
The young man was praised and scratched his cheek shyly.
"It's alright. I can actually cut windmill heads, but nobody likes that, so I can't show you."
Windmill head?
It doesn't sound like a proper hairstyle.
Hu Zhenzhen had absolutely no interest in watching.
But children love these strange things the most, and Jiang Chen was very interested in the windmill hairstyle he mentioned.
"A windmill, like the windmills outside?"
Jiang Chen held Hu Zhenzhen's arm, his face full of interest.
Hu Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Could this person's first benefactor be her son?
"Does Xiao Chen want to see this older brother cut a pinwheel?"
Hu Zhenzhen asked a question.
Jiang Chen is a very self-controlled child. He rarely makes requests except for things that Hu Zhenzhen buys for him.
Similarly, Jiang Chen also dislikes troubling others.
He would never have nodded at this point if he hadn't really wanted to see it.
Just when Hu Zhenzhen thought her son would refuse, she saw him nod.
This person's talent is quite interesting.
Hu Zhenzhen looked up at the green-haired youth and said, "Very good, you've been accepted."
The young man was overjoyed. "Thank you, boss! Can I work with Brother Huang too?"
"No," Hu Zhenzhen instinctively refused, but hadn't figured out how to arrange things for him.
We can't exactly have him trim the greenery at the villa.
Chen Kai arrived just then, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he was met with Hu Zhenzhen's smiling face.
The next second, his respected boss said something that Chen Kai found hard to accept.
"From now on, you'll be our staff's personal hairdresser, and you'll be in charge of cutting everyone's hair."
Who? A barber?
Chen Kai followed Hu Zhenzhen's gaze and looked at the energetic young man with green hair, his eyelids twitching instantly.
Could the barber be talking about this guy?
How come her tastes have changed so much in just a few hours since I last saw the boss?
That's so unique.
"Boss," Chen Kai said with a standard smile, "this kind of haircut perk is actually unnecessary."
He had barely finished speaking when he noticed the young master's head droop down in disappointment.
No way.
Chen Kai had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Hu Zhenzhen said, "Xiao Chen really likes his hairdressing skills. Chen Kai, don't be shy. Having a personal hairdresser can save everyone the money they would have spent at a hair salon."
Chen Kai's eyes stung from the sight of so many people sporting outlandish hairstyles, and his smile froze. "Okay, boss."
Jiang Chen then looked up again, "Uncle Chen agreed!"
Seeing that the young master was happy, Chen Kai's smile became a little more sincere.
Oh well, he's not going to experience the perks of haircuts anyway, so let Liu An and the others, who live rough lives, go and get haircuts to make the young master happy.
With that thought, he immediately accepted it and remembered the important matter at hand.
"Boss, Liu An is already nearby with Dr. Zhou. Should we have them come over?"
After a few seconds of thought, Hu Zhenzhen said, "Let them set up a makeshift medical clinic under a canopy across the street. This place is about to be demolished; it's not safe here."
Is it about to be demolished?
What's going on here?
Chen Kai shifted his gaze to Yang Lin. Apart from Hu Zhenzhen, he was the only one in the room who seemed to be in charge.
Hu Zhenzhen then realized that the two did not know each other. After a brief introduction, she asked Yang Lin to explain to Chen Kai.
She didn't want to leave this hospital to harm people any further.
Xijingmen Street was her territory, and the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled were also considered part of her urban beggar gang. Hu Zhenzhen felt she should take care of them to some extent.
The consultation room was too small and there were too many people inside, so Hu Zhenzhen decided to take Jiang Chen back to the RV first.
Before leaving, she made a point of giving Chen Kai instructions.
"Half of this land belongs to me. After this illegal building is demolished, I'll use the remaining ten million in my account to build another hospital."
"Oh, right, it seems that Director Lou also saw a doctor here. There isn't a single proper doctor in this hospital, and 99% of the diagnoses are misdiagnoses. It just so happens that Dr. Zhou has arrived. I'll take him to Fubao Orphanage first to take a look at Director Lou's case."
Chen Kai's eyes instantly welled up, and the corners of his mouth, which he had been trying so hard to maintain an upward curve, turned down.
Thank you.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, unable to find an outlet, he finally uttered only these three words.
Chen Kai grew up near the Fubao Orphanage. At that time, his parents were healthy and kind-hearted. Every month, they would donate a small amount of money to the orphanage so that the children could eat fruit.
No one expected that when Chen Kai was eight years old, a car accident would take away his entire family.
He also entered that orphanage.
From then on, Director Lou became his only elder, and the other children in the orphanage became his family.
They had ventured into society together and followed so-called "big brothers," but Dean Lou persuaded them to return.
In impoverished neighborhoods, there are many children who drop out of school after completing compulsory education. But Dean Lou led them, this group of wayward boys, and forced each of them to finish high school.
Later, when Chen Kai actually started working and making a living, he finally understood her good intentions.
He and Liu An were the leaders of the kids.
The two of them made up their minds to take good care of Dean Lou.
If it weren't for the dean, the two of them would have become a mess in society long ago, and might not even be alive today.
From then on, the two worked even harder.
Chen Kai was the top student, and he was also very smart. He studied hard, wanting to use his knowledge to make more money.
Liu An wasn't clever, but he was strong, so he led his childhood friends to do work everywhere.
They've done it all: security guard, construction worker, bodyguard, even salesman.
Most of the money went to Director Lou to continue maintaining the Fubao Orphanage, while a small portion was given to Chen Kai so that he could focus on his studies and lead everyone to a better life in the future.
Only a little bit is left for my own living expenses.
Chen Kai has always had a strong drive in his heart.
He needs to work hard, work hard to earn money, work hard to live a better life, and work hard to make the lives of Dean Lou and his brothers better.
That's why he felt so helpless and sad when he learned that Dean Lou had cancer.
He had just seized the opportunity to become Hu Zhenzhen's housekeeper.
I've just started working hard with these brothers, and I've just started enabling everyone to earn a little more money.
Why is the old hospital director going to die soon due to the torment of illness?
People are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of their beliefs being destroyed.
For a moment, Chen Kai suddenly felt that life was meaningless and that all the hard work he had put in was pointless.
When he asked Hu Zhenzhen for leave, he even considered never coming back.
What's the point of making money if he has no goal to strive for?
"Let's go," Hu Zhenzhen interrupted his thanks, shattering the sorrow that had been weighing on Chen Kai's heart.
“Let’s go see Dean Lou together. If I go with the doctor alone, the old man might not believe it.”
Chen Kai looked up and saw the smile on Hu Zhenzhen's face.
In that instant, he rediscovered that drive.
He didn't need to say thank you for such a great favor; he swallowed the bitterness in his throat. Chen Kai looked at Hu Zhenzhen for a second, and before she could notice, he said, "I'll drive for you, boss."
How could he not understand?
He understood Hu Zhenzhen's purpose in coming to this chaotic neighborhood, her reason for building a hospital here, and the boss's good intentions.
Chen Kai wiped his glasses and put them back on.
Since the debt of gratitude can never be repaid, then let us repay it with our loyalty.
From now on, he has one more goal in life.
He will become the boss's most capable right-hand man, the best steward, and the fastest sword.
A vast expanse stretched out before Chen Kai.
"Boss, young master, please watch your step."
