Chapter 139139 Something Happened & It's Alright
Shu Jinyue certainly knew the complications and dangers he would encounter, and she tried to persuade him, but to no avail.
Shu Jinyue would not take this kind of person who was ungrateful and not a good person to begin with to heart. She was simply too busy. She hadn't hired enough doctors yet, and Wang Matt did this again. She didn't even have time to think about why he did this, because there was a small problem when the decoration was almost finished.
A decoration worker was hit on the left foot by a brick falling from a high place while working. A painful wail was immediately heard in the brand new building.
Jin Yue was having dinner at home. When he received the call, he immediately drove to the scene. Xu Duan was not there, but Shu Wenming was. He came with him. Just in case, he also called a few people from the security departments of his and Xu Duan's respective factories.
Shu Jinyue looked at the row of strong young men and could not help but smile bitterly. She said softly, "Second brother, we are going to see the scene. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are going to a gang fight."
"You don't know what the current situation is like outside." He didn't elaborate and got in the car first. He and Jin Yue were in one car, and the others drove the factory's truck. A group of people drove straight to South Street.
"The person on the phone said that the worker was operating normally and there was nothing wrong with the process. Suddenly, a brick fell from the wall over two meters high and hit the top of his left foot. Now at least the top of his foot is fractured."
"How do you know he didn't operate it improperly? How do you know the brick fell for no apparent reason?"
Shu Jinyue was unable to respond for a moment, "The call was from the contractor." The decoration work was also contracted out in pieces, and the contractor was found with the help of Xu Duan and Shu Wenming, and she thought he was trustworthy.
"We ourselves may not trust the people we are looking for. Remember this in the future. Even the people under your own command may not be trustworthy, let alone those who have gone through many twists and turns. Don't trust the relationship introduced by others at all."
As if realizing that she didn't listen, Shu Wenming looked ahead and drove steadily, "Do you remember Song Yingying's little cousin?"
Shu Jinyue didn't know why he mentioned this person, "I remember, what's wrong?"
After Song Yingying's vanishing twins syndrome, it was with the help of Shu Jinyue's introduction that Shu Jinyue was able to get her second brother to western Jiangxi to buy down quilts. This was how he embarked on a different path from his previous life. Jinyue was grateful to Song Yingying from the bottom of her heart. Later, whenever her family members felt unwell, they would come to her, and even if they had no number or were too tired to lift their hands, she would see them.
Fortunately, Song Yingying is also a person with a good personality. She set up a stall outside with Xiao Lingling for several years. Finally, she saved enough money and bought a store on North Street to sell clothes. Shu Wenming also helped introduce two of her supply channels, so the two families got along pretty well. After her husband was released from prison, he even invited the Shu family to dinner.
Song Yingying is a good person, hardworking and trustworthy, but her cousin? Even Song Yingying herself inadvertently revealed that because of different working styles and serious comparisons among relatives, her relationship with her cousins gradually became distant.
"Last year, my cousin Song suddenly found me and said he was ill and in urgent need of money. He had a batch of denim fabrics and asked me if I could take over the business since he had helped me do business with him before."
"He was indeed very ill at the time, and could barely walk steadily. He also took out a report from the hospital, saying that he had liver cancer, and his face was very yellow. I went to ask people and found out that he had indeed been ill for almost a year. Only then did I believe it." Shu Wenming continued in a very calm tone, "I also went to see his batch of fabrics. There were purchase orders and delivery orders, and all the procedures were complete. It was indeed good material, genuine denim. I could make some denim jackets and jeans with it. Even if the price he gave was not much cheaper than the market price, I could still make a lot of money."
"Then why haven't I heard about your factory making denim?"
Shu Wenming sneered, "Because later I was about to pay, and suddenly I received a call from Pan Wei, saying that a train from Guangdong Province to the Northeast was robbed when passing through our Shilan Province not long ago, and the biggest loss was a batch of denim fabrics."
"Could it be that they were the ones who robbed this batch of materials? Cousin Song is so bold!" They simply value money over life, and they even dare to rob a public train!
"To be more precise, it's called stealing. They work in groups and deliberately place things on the tracks that affect the speed of the train. They lie in ambush on the nearest tree, and when the arsonist slows down when passing by, they jump on it, working together inside and outside to throw valuables from each carriage down. They throw as the train goes, and people along the way pick them up... I don't know if Cousin Song is part of the same group or if they have been subcontracted to sell the stolen goods to the next customer. I don't know."
"This routine is very similar to those who stole cotton back then." Jin Yue recalled that his second brother was reported for selling down quilts under the Jianshe Bridge that year. It was the cotton seller who retaliated against the reporter, but he ended up retaliating against the wrong person and brought disaster to him.
Xu Duan later said that the person who went to jail was sentenced, but because Hu Guizhi lamented that people's livelihood was difficult, he was given a light sentence. There has been no news about him in the past few years. It has only been a short time and he has made a comeback?
Shu Wenming nodded, "I suspect they are in the same group, but I have no evidence. I just had a fight with Brother Song, and I have cut off all ties with him since then."
You know, if that batch of materials is really dirty, it will be discovered by the police one day. By then, Shu Wenming will buy dirty materials knowingly, and the amount involved is so huge, he may have to go to jail.
"I think I have done my best for him. He cheated me out of duck down that year, but I didn't ask him to settle the score. Now he is trying to cheat me again. I can't swallow this anger, so I will naturally retaliate against him double."
The so-called liver cancer diagnosis was prepared half a year in advance, and the so-called purchase and delivery orders were all fucking fake! In order to lure Shu Wenming into the trap, he pretended to be sick half a year in advance. It was obvious that he wanted to trick him, and it would be best if he could be tricked into going to jail!
If Shu Wenming had not received the call from Pan Wei, he would have fallen into the trap, because his illness seemed real, the procedures were complete, and even the price was not ridiculously low, but was sold at market price. Such "normality" was hard not to believe. In addition, although Shu Wenming was tough on the outside, he actually remembered the old times. When Song Xiaodi brought up the kindness he had shown him in the past, he softened his heart. Thinking that a dying man's words are good, he helped him a little and left some living expenses for his family. Who knew that his kindness almost hurt himself.
"I thought I had done my best for him, but he tried every means to harm me. If I were in your shoes, who would I turn to for justice?"
The biggest motive behind Brother Song's ingratitude is jealousy.
"Your business has grown so big, he's seen it, and he's jealous, especially when he thinks that you're where you are today thanks to him buying you down jackets. He must think that he brought you in, and you stole the opportunity to make a fortune that should have belonged to him." Jin Yue broke out in a cold sweat, "I even suspect that he's planning to report you as soon as you pay."
Shu Wenming smiled and said, "Look, you've been busy treating patients these years, and you've avoided many evil people."
"There aren't so many conspiracies and intrigues when it comes to seeing a doctor. You just need to figure it out for yourself and don't make the patient feel bad. You don't have to worry about being framed by the patient or your competitors." In fact, there are these two situations, but Jin Yue has already been prepared. She is fully prepared for any situations where she might be caught by someone's braids, and she also has an emergency plan. If it really happens, she knows what to do.
"So, you also suspect that they staged today's incident?"
Shu Wenming nodded and the car stopped. Sure enough, the entrance of the hospital, which had not yet opened, was already crowded with people. He could hear a lot of discussion, "Someone was killed! Someone was killed before the hospital even opened!"
"Everyone come and see, someone has been killed!"
"My mother-in-law told me that this hospital has bad feng shui. She said people have died in these houses before. Many people were forced to hang themselves or were abused in the past ten years."
"I heard that during the Qing Dynasty, this area of South Street was a vegetable market, where death row prisoners were beheaded. I don't know how much blood was splattered."
"I think the feng shui here is really bad. If anyone comes here to see a doctor in the future, a minor illness will be treated as a major one, and a serious illness will definitely kill you. Is this a hospital or hell?"
At first, Shu Jinyue thought it was the injured worker's family members who were talking, but when he looked closer, he found that the people who were talking were actually several men and women in the crowd. They looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
However, whether they had seen it or not was not important for the moment. Their words successfully aroused quite a reaction in the crowd. To be honest, everyone came to watch the fun, but when they heard that someone was "dead", they felt quite sympathetic. Then they heard that it was bad feng shui and that someone who came to work was actually crushed to death, they felt a little scared.
The last few sentences hit everyone's heart, making their backs shiver and they felt that the wind blowing out of the hospital was eerie.
"I won't come to a hospital like this where people die. What if they cure my minor illness and kill me?"
"I won't come either. Someone died before the store even opened. It's really scary."
When the Shu siblings heard this, they thought to themselves, Jin Yue really thought of people as being too simple and naive. The injured workers and their families didn't say anything the whole time. They were surrounded in the center of the crowd and seemed very uneasy. They looked like honest and decent rural people.
Shu Wenming winked at the tall and strong workers behind him. They immediately pretended to be there to watch the fun and squeezed over to surround the few people who had just echoed the same idea, waiting for the boss's signal to act.
With the experience of Qi Peilan's family that year, Shu Jinyue quickly came to the center of the crowd, squatted down and checked the workers' injuries.
The worker was a man in his thirties, dark and thin. He was lying on the ground, gritting his teeth and enduring it. The injured part was his left foot. Jin Yue gently took off his shoes. His feet were sweaty and he had been doing physical work, so his shoes and socks were wet and sweaty, not to mention the smell. But Jin Yue didn't care. She stared at a lump on the sole of her foot that was almost the size of an egg. It was red in color, oval in shape, and about four centimeters in diameter. It felt soft to the touch, but there was a hard spot - that was the bone.
The woman with a headscarf beside him should be a family member. There was a lot of dust and lime from the renovation on her body, and her face was covered with black marks of sweat. She was sobbing softly.
Shu Jinyue patted her shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Why haven't you gone to the hospital in such a long time?"
As soon as she received the call, she asked the contractor to send the injured to the hospital immediately. How come it has been at least twenty minutes and they are still here? Could it be that the contractor is pretending to obey but actually disobeying the orders? That's not possible.
The woman was just crying, but the anxious contractor beside her said quickly, "Director Shu, it's not that we don't want to send them, it's that they don't want to go. They are afraid of the cost of going to the hospital, so they refuse to go to the hospital, saying that they just need to take care of themselves. We have been trying to persuade them for a long time."
"If you don't believe me, ask them. They can testify." Several workers around him nodded and said in unison that they had tried their best.
Because the persuasion was too intense, passers-by were attracted. At this time, a group of men and women appeared from nowhere and said that someone was killed at their construction site.
"No matter how we explained, they wouldn't listen. Even the injured workers and their families wouldn't listen. They just kept shouting that they wanted to kill someone."
Shu Jinyue and Shu Wenming looked at each other. It was really a miracle that the people causing trouble today were not the injured and their families, but these "enthusiastic people" who came out of nowhere.
Shu Wenming happened to have a loud speaker in his hand. He shouted, "Who said the worker died? The worker was just slightly injured."
The sound of the loudspeaker was very loud, and Shu Wenming deliberately amplified the volume, which immediately calmed everyone down. The crowd, which was originally messy and noisy, immediately quieted down and looked at them in the crowd.
"What? He was injured. The worker almost died. I saw it with my own eyes. He was just a little bit away." The voice of the troublemaker was obviously much weaker.
Shu Wenming asked the workers to raise their hands. "Look, he's still alive and well. You should be more virtuous when you speak. You won't be afraid that retribution will come to you someday."
The leader swallowed her saliva and did not dare to continue spreading rumors. She shouted like that just now simply to deceive the onlookers who came later. Once they spread the news of the "dead person", even if only one person believed it, their goal would be achieved.
"If workers are injured during work, we express our deepest sympathy and will send you to the hospital as soon as possible and fully cover the medical expenses." Shu Wenming said this not only to express his attitude to the onlookers, but also to the injured workers.
The man just closed his eyes and kept moaning, "Ouch, ouch." Judging from the beads of sweat on his forehead, he was not pretending and was really in pain. The woman next to him covered her mouth and sobbed, crying and saying, "Can we not go to the hospital?"
"Why don't you go to the hospital? You should go to the hospital if your bones are broken." Some people couldn't understand why he was being stubborn when he was in so much pain.
"I, we don't have... no money. The kids need money to go to school, and we can't afford the medical expenses."
Most people who can live in the city have jobs, and their medical expenses can be reimbursed by public institutions. For a moment, they didn't think about the farmers who come to the city to work and have to pay for their own medical treatment.
"Tsk, this is a private hospital. They are out to get money and kill people. The workers work so hard for them, but they don't care when they get hurt. They are so cruel to the workers, how can they be any better to the patients? They will rip you off as soon as you enter the hospital, right?"
Shu Wenming squinted at the person who was speaking. It was obvious that this woman was the one who was initiating trouble. The fact that they swarmed here in such a short time meant that she had either been lurking nearby, waiting for something to happen in the hospital, or she lived or worked nearby and happened to come here to take advantage of a conflict of interest.
And the competitor nearby...isn’t it the "Tai'an Tang" Chinese Medicine Clinic diagonally opposite?
Yes, there is a Chinese medicine clinic diagonally opposite Jinyue Hospital, just across the street, and the owner of this clinic, coincidentally, is Qi Jingtian!
Shu Jinyue thought to herself that it was no wonder, as some of these people looked familiar to her. That was because she had once disguised herself as a patient and entered Tai'an Hall to observe Qi Jingtian treating patients and saving lives. It was also because of this that she knew his tricks of defrauding people of their money.
These people were the "salesmen" in charge of reception in Tai'an Hall at that time. They kept selling her the precious medicinal materials in their store and boasting about how great the medical skills of the old Chinese doctor Qi were. They told her about such and such diseases of a certain senior leader in a certain year and how many cases of infertility were cured in a certain year... It must be said that they had great sales skills and completely grasped the patient's eagerness to find confidence.
Bragging about treating high-ranking leaders is a recognition of his medical skills and connections; specifically citing the example of curing infertility, more and more women come to see the doctor with the excuse of "infertility after many years of marriage". As long as they get a little bit of personal information, they can "prescribe the right medicine".
Once they fall into the psychological trap they set, patients will believe whatever Dr. Qi says and be willing to buy medicine at any price asked. They may even come back a second and third time after coming once and keep giving them money, because they firmly believe that the reason why the disease cannot be cured is not because the medicine is wrong, but because of other reasons in themselves.
Sometimes, it’s not the patient’s fault that he is stupid, it’s the scammer’s fault that he is so powerful!
Sure enough, when the Shu siblings decided to hold off, the troublemakers pretended to be very enthusiastic and said, "It's okay if you don't go to the big hospital. We have an old Chinese doctor here who is the best at treating patients. Usually, many people rush to get an appointment with him but can't. Many senior leaders in the province have invited him to treat patients."
"A few years ago, we had a big leader named Hu in our province, the female comrade with glasses, who was often on TV and in newspapers. Do you remember her? Later, she was transferred to Beijing. When she was sick before, the experts at the provincial hospital couldn't help her, so she specifically asked our old Chinese doctor to see her. Every time he cured her, he would send a special car to take her back."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was really amazing! Everyone has an impression of that female leader. She had a very high reputation among the masses. When the people learned that she was going to be transferred, they were sad for a long time.
This old Chinese doctor is actually Leader Hu’s “personal expert”. What does that mean? This shows that this old Chinese doctor is really amazing!
"Leader Hu often says that our old Chinese medicine doctor Qi is worthy of being the successor of Qi Huanxin, the leader of the four famous doctors in Shilan. He really has a profound family background and is both virtuous and talented." Someone added.
Shu Jinyue almost laughed out loud. Qi Jingtian was so bold in boasting. There was nothing he dared not boast about, only things Jinyue could not think of. She, Shu Jinyue, had been to Hu Guizhi's house so many times and never dared to say these words. He had only been there once and had not cured her yet, but these minions under his command dared to boast like this.
Not to mention that he had only been there once and wasn't cured, even if he really went there often, he couldn't be so ostentatious. Isn't this intentionally causing trouble for the leader? If he leaks any privacy, he will be asking for trouble. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, the harm caused will be even greater.
Shu Jinyue had not experienced any big scenes when she was nineteen years old, but she knew that she could not talk nonsense about going to see Hu Guizhi for treatment. Qi Jingtian was already an old man in his seventies, and he had lived so many years in vain!
So, amidst everyone's praise and adulation, as well as the curiosity of the masses who did not know the truth, Qi Jingtian, with gray hair and beard, finally arrived and made a grand appearance.
"Dr. Qi, you are here at the right time. Please help this worker. You are kind-hearted and you will definitely have a solution, right?"
Another person echoed: "Now that you are here, he can be saved!"
The performance was so heartfelt that even Shu Jinyue, an insider, admired their acting skills. What's more, other ordinary people who didn't know the truth thought he was amazing, so amazing to the extreme. People who knew him or not began to whisper and discuss the identity of this "Old Chinese Medicine Doctor Qi".
Shu Jinyue and his second brother looked at each other, wanting to see how he was going to continue singing. In their opinion, today's move was really a stupid one, too stupid. This stupid move showed that Qi Jingtian really couldn't get by anymore and had to take a risky move.
Ever since the couple who were diagnosed by him as infertile came to make trouble last year, his former patients have been causing trouble for him one after another, and many have even filed lawsuits. He has to pay money to some of them, and some of them can get away with it because they had no evidence, but the other party, seeing that others have received compensation, are even more unwilling to settle the matter and make even more trouble. His Tai'an Hall was once closed for half a month due to the trouble, and there was no patient for half a month after it was opened. In order to get rid of them as soon as possible, he could only grit his teeth and keep quiet, spending money to avoid disaster. Adding up all the legal and illegal expenses, he really paid out a lot of money.
Coupled with the fine from the Health Bureau, he is now almost penniless. Every now and then, a patient comes to demand justice, and his clinic's business is affected. He can only see a few patients a day. Now he can't find anyone to cheat him out of money.
If he allowed Shu Jinyue to open his hospital opposite his, with Qi Peilan, whose medical skills were better than his, as the patient, his career would be completely ruined. So a group of people thought about it and came up with this bad idea.
Firstly, it could ruin the reputation of Shu Jinyue's hospital and make her die before she even starts; secondly, he could take the opportunity to show off and spread some word of mouth, and maybe even attract a group of new patients (suckers) to his own clinic.
Shu Jinyue never expected that, at such an old age, instead of thinking about how to live a few more years, he was just thinking about how to make dirty money and suppress his peers. He was really a fool!
Qi Jingtian declined a few words, then, unable to refuse the kindness, he walked up to the worker, casually put his hand on his wrist for a few minutes, then shook his head and started to show off his knowledge... He spent a full three minutes talking about some weird stuff that sounded like classical Chinese.
Shu Jinyue, a Chinese medicine practitioner who knew the four great classics by heart, had learned from many others, and had read the works of medical doctors of all dynasties two or three times, was still confused by what he heard. There were one or two sentences from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", but they were not the original texts, and there were missing words. There were one or two sentences from "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", but they were still missing some parts. As for the rest, he didn't understand the source of any of the sentences.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as it can fool the people who don’t know the truth.
Look, he took the pulse for such a long time and quoted classics so confidently, everyone felt that he was worthy of being an old Chinese doctor and knew a lot.
But the patient's family was really anxious. The woman wiped her tears and said, "Old Chinese doctor, what are you talking about? How can I treat my husband's feet?"
"Bones are the remains of kidneys. If he hurts his bones, there are only two ways to deal with it."
"First, he needs surgery. He has already broken his bones. It's still not too late for him to get surgery, but the cost is quite high. I wonder if you can afford it."
"What's the second option?" the woman asked anxiously, obviously reluctant to spend the money on surgery.
Qi Jingtian stroked his white beard, and he really had a bit of immortal spirit in his words: "Of course, I would take Chinese medicine to nourish my liver and kidneys, and nourish my tendons and bones."
"That's right. They say it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You have to take good care of it."
"This tonic isn't cheap, is it?" someone asked in a low voice.
Qi Jingtian stroked his white beard and said nothing. His followers defended him: "Compared to a leg, spending a little money is nothing. This worker is the main labor force of his family. If his leg is not well taken care of and becomes disabled, how can he work in the future and raise children?"
Well, as soon as these words came out, the couple who were still hesitating immediately wanted to agree. The children at home were waiting for money to go to school, and the elderly were waiting for money to buy medicine. No matter what, they had to save the leg!
As long as I have my legs, I can continue to work and earn money. If their legs are broken, no contractor will be willing to hire them for work.
"Wait." The speaker was a young woman in her early thirties, with a calm temperament and a determined look in her eyes. More importantly, she didn't know when she put on a white coat.
There are always two or three clean white coats in Jin Yue's car. He can pick up one at random and put it on, and his imposing aura will come out.
"Are you a doctor?"
"Yes." Shu Jinyue picked up his work ID. "My name is Shu Jinyue. I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. I am also the director and doctor of this hospital. Since this happened in my unit, I will say a few words."
All these years of clinical experience were not in vain, at least she had developed her aura. When she stood there with her back straight, no one would doubt her identity. Some people in the crowd even knew her or had heard of her name, after all, it was hard to get a number one.
"This is Dr. Shu, the one opposite the San Department Store!"
Those who didn't know him hurriedly asked who Dr. Shu was, and soon there was a small commotion in the crowd.
Shu Jinyue didn't pay attention to everyone's discussion. She just looked at the worker and held out her hand to him: "Get up first. The ground is quite cold. You were injured in my unit. I should have been there the first time to send you to the hospital and be fully responsible for your medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and lost wages. You don't have to worry about spending money. No matter how much it costs, I will be responsible for it."
"Really?" The couple stood up subconsciously, finding the previous sentence unbelievable. This hospital boss was too nice!
It was not known whether it was because he was too surprised or careless, but the man stumbled when he stood up, and was held by Shu Jinyue, who then accidentally stepped on his foot. The man seemed to hear the bones in his foot "crack", but he did not care. He cared more about the boss's promise, "Can you really...really...can you be responsible? Don't worry, boss. We are not liars. We will not waste your money. You just need to have food to eat during this period of recovery. I don't need anyone to take care of me. My wife can still continue to work. Don't despise her because she is a woman. In fact, she can do a lot of work. She can do everything I can do."
Shu Jinyue naturally heard the faint "click" sound in his string of "expressing his true feelings". "Of course it's true. I can pay you the nutrition fee and lost wages right now."
"Your current daily wage is two yuan. I will preliminarily calculate that you will be given half a month's rest, which is 28 yuan. The nutrition fee is one yuan per day, which is 14 yuan... However, this is just a preliminary estimate. The specific number of days you need to rest depends on your recovery."
The workers were overjoyed. So many? ! He earns more than he does working!
"What about the medical expenses?" Qi Jingtian's people couldn't help themselves. They were very happy when they first heard Shu Jinyue promise to pay for the medical expenses, because they knew that they couldn't get much money from the couple of migrant workers, but if there was Shu Jinyue who was willing to cover for them, the money would be considerable.
"He doesn't need any treatment, so where does the medical expenses come from?"
"You're talking nonsense. How could he not need treatment? His leg is obviously broken, how could he not need treatment? Look, the black-hearted hospital owner is not afraid of being struck by lightning..."
Shu Jinyue ignored the barking dog and just looked at the worker: "Now, try moving your left foot."
The man moved a little, "Hey, it seems to be able to move!"
"Push harder. Yes, push harder towards me. Does it still hurt? Left, right, inward, outward rotation, try all the angles."
"It doesn't hurt anymore! It doesn't hurt at all! I couldn't walk just now because of the pain, and there's a swelling as big as an egg. Hey... where is the swelling? Why is it gone?"
Everyone was greatly surprised. They had just seen how swollen the worker's feet were, but now the big bump was gone. Only the skin was still a little red and a little congested and swollen, but it was much better than before!
The worker was so happy that he jumped a few times subconsciously. Hey, it didn't hurt at all!
This time, even Qi Jingtian was dumbfounded!
