Chapter 270 This consultation fee isn't considered a bribe, is it?



The Third People's Hospital of Beijing.

Inside the VIP ward on the third floor of the emergency department.

After listening to the middle-aged man's account, Su Zhengnan gained a general understanding of Chen Yanyan's daily life and eating habits, and had basically diagnosed her illness.

After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan turned to Chen Zhuangxun and said:

"This child must have been frightened by something, which has disturbed his internal organs."

"As the saying goes, the heart is the sovereign fire; if the heart is injured, the sovereign fire will run rampant."

"In addition, the child is young and has a nascent yin and yang constitution, so the sovereign fire cannot guide the body to naturally generate blood heat."

"This condition of feeling hot in the morning and cool at night is caused by blood heat!"

Clearly, the little girl in front of us has been greatly frightened for a long time, which is why she is experiencing these symptoms now.

If it were just a normal fright, it wouldn't have caused the little girl to become like this!

Chen Zhuangxun clearly knew what had frightened his granddaughter; his expression changed slightly, and after a long pause, he sighed softly and asked Su Zhengnan:

"Then...can it be cured?"

"It can definitely be cured, but I can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

Su Zhengnan nodded and replied, "As the saying goes, a mental illness requires a mental cure, especially for children who have been frightened. It's better to address the root cause."

"Of course, treating an illness requires addressing both the symptoms and the root cause. I can help alleviate the child's symptoms."

"But for a fundamental solution, I'm afraid Secretary Chen will have to come up with a solution himself."

"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Su."

Chen Zhuangxun was well aware of the meaning behind Su Zhengnan's words.

However, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes.

There are some things that you can't necessarily handle well just because you have a high-ranking official position. He also has headaches when it comes to family matters.

Especially for someone in his position, the family matters are much more complicated than those of an average family.

"Okay!"

Su Zhengnan nodded, but did not ask further why the child was frightened.

Then, Su Zhengnan took out a box of silver needles from his body, disinfected them, and then picked up a silver needle and gently inserted it into the little girl's philtrum.

Then, he inserted needles into the little girl's Guannei and Tanzhong acupoints.

As Su Zhengnan administered the acupuncture, the little girl gradually recovered from her dazed expression, and a hint of color slowly returned to her eyes.

"Wow......"

Suddenly, Chen Yanyan burst into tears, as if she had come back to life.

"Yan Yan... don't be afraid, Grandpa is here."

Chen Zhuangxun quickly stepped forward, hugged the little girl, and gently comforted her.

After the little girl calmed down a bit...

Su Zhengnan prescribed her another remedy to calm her mind and soothe her nerves, then said to Zhu Jiangcai who was standing beside him:

"Get the medicine according to this prescription, two doses a day, one in the morning and one in the evening."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhu Jiangcai nodded, took the prescription, signed his name, and then asked the nurse to go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to get the medicine.

Then, Su Zhengnan solemnly instructed Chen Zhuangxun: "Secretary Chen, try not to let the child be frightened in any way during this period. Also, you need to complete the treatment of the root cause as soon as possible, otherwise this disease cannot be cured."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Dr. Su."

Chen Zhuangxun nodded, then turned to his secretary and instructed, "Xiao Li, give Dr. Su the consultation fee I prepared earlier."

"Yes, Secretary Chen."

Secretary Li nodded, then opened her black handbag, took out a black box, and handed it to Su Zhengnan.

"Secretary Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Su Zhengnan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked.

Chen Zhuangxun smiled and said, "Dr. Lin, you've worked hard today. I don't have much to thank you for, so please consider this as your consultation fee!"

As he spoke, Chen Zhuangxun gestured to his secretary to put the item directly into Su Zhengnan's hands.

Su Zhengnan blinked and politely declined, saying, "Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty as doctors. There's no need for the consultation fee, Secretary Chen. You don't need to be so polite!"

"I don't like owing people favors. Let's keep things separate. You should accept the consultation fee!"

Chen Zhuangxun looked up at him and waved his hand.

"this....."

Su Zhengnan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Zhu Jiangcai beside him.

Zhu Jiang smiled and nodded slightly at him, indicating that he could accept the extra consultation fee, since it was a private gift and the hospital couldn't interfere.

Moreover, Su Zhengnan was not a formal employee of their hospital.

Seeing this, Su Zhengnan accepted the consultation fee offered by the other party and said with a smile:

"In that case, I'll accept it. Thank you, Secretary Chen!"

Chen Zhuangxun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Dr. Su, what are you saying? I should be thanking you, otherwise I don't know what to do with my precious granddaughter!"

"Secretary Chen, you're too kind. It was just a small favor for me."

Su Zhengnan said very modestly.

Chen Zhuangxun glanced at him and said, "It may be a small favor for you, Dr. Su, but it is a life-saving grace for my Yan Yan. Look at all these doctors in the hospital, they have been looking at her for a long time but they have no solution."

"If it weren't for Dr. Su, there's really no one who could cure Yan Yan's illness!"

Chen Zhuangxun's words were essentially a direct insult to all the doctors except Su Zhengnan, almost as if he were pointing his finger at Zhu Jiangcai and the others and saying that their medical skills were incompetent.

Zhu Jiangcai stood awkwardly to the side, then suddenly spoke:

"Secretary Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now. I'll bring the medicine over as soon as it's ready."

"Okay, that's all."

Chen Zhuangxun glanced down at his granddaughter, and it took him a long time to coax her to sleep. He was too lazy to even see Zhu Jiangcai and the others standing in front of him.

"Then I'll go ahead and get busy. Call me if you need anything."

As he spoke, Zhu Jiang gently tugged at Su Zhengnan's sleeve and led him out of the ward.

"Director Zhu, what do you think this consultation fee that Secretary Chen gave me might be for?"

In the hospital corridor, Su Zhengnan glanced at the box in his hand and couldn't help but ask Zhu Jiangcai a question.

Zhu Jiangcai smiled and said, "Whatever it is, its value is certainly considerable."

Do you really think it's appropriate for me to accept this consultation fee?

Su Zhengnan asked with some doubt, "How is this different from accepting bribes? Won't someone report us?"

Zhu Jiangcai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this is a private gift, so it doesn't count as accepting a bribe. If it were a bribe, it would depend on who gave it to you, wouldn't it?"

Zhu Jiangcai's words made his meaning quite clear.

Whether or not one accepts bribes depends on the status of the person giving the gift.

Can the consultation fee given by Secretary Chen be considered as accepting bribes?

That was just a private interaction and had nothing to do with accepting bribes.

Su Zhengnan blinked and smiled, then said to Zhu Jiangcai:

"Alright, Director Zhu, I understand what you mean. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Call me again if you need anything."

"Haha, okay, I'll see you off."

Zhu Jiangcai smiled and nodded, then personally walked away from Su Zhengnan and left the emergency department.

Afterwards, Su Zhengnan drove his BMW X5 back to the school clinic of Beijing Film Academy.

When Su Zhengnan returned to the school clinic.

He then realized that he hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Immediately, Su Zhengnan glanced at the time and then went to the school cafeteria to eat something to fill his stomach.

It was almost 4 p.m. at this point.

After finishing his meal, Su Zhengnan returned to his clinic, sat down to rest for a while, and then opened the box that Chen Zhuangxun had given him to take a look.

Inside the box was a crystal-clear jade pendant, which looked quite valuable.

So it's jade!

I thought it was something valuable!

Su Zhengnan chuckled and shook his head. He wasn't short of money these days, so he didn't really care about the jade.

However, judging from the condition of this jade pendant, it's probably worth at least several hundred thousand yuan.

Afterwards, Su Zhengnan put away the jade pendant, got up and brewed himself a cup of ginseng and goji berry tea.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Ring ring!

It was evening.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Su Zhengnan sat in the clinic drinking tea, thinking that tonight would be as quiet as yesterday.

A short while later, the door to the outpatient clinic was pushed open.

Deng Changfeng, wearing a gray casual jacket, walked in, followed by a man of similar age. They looked like good buddies!

"Oh, Director Deng, what brings you here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Zhengnan looked at Deng Changfeng with a surprised expression and asked.

"I'm not sick, the one who's sick is the person behind me."

Deng Changfeng smiled slightly, pointed to the man behind him and introduced, "Let me introduce you, Dr. Su. This is Li Junfeng, a teacher in the photography department of our school. I brought him over to take a look."

"Hmm? Teacher Li?"

Su Zhengnan looked at the man next to Deng Changfeng. The man looked to be about the same age as Deng Changfeng and had one hand on his hip when he entered the room.

"So, does this Teacher Li have sciatica like you, Director Deng?"

After noticing the other party's action, Su Zhengnan asked Deng Changfeng.

A smile flashed across Deng Changfeng's face. He didn't answer Su Zhengnan's question, but instead turned to Li Junfeng beside him and said:

"See? I told you Dr. Su's medical skills are amazing!"

"See? I haven't even examined you yet, and I already know what illness you have..."

Hearing Deng Changfeng's sudden praise.

Su Zhengnan coughed awkwardly and quickly interrupted him, saying, "Ahem, Director Deng, could you please stop exaggerating my medical skills?"

As he spoke, Su Zhengnan stood up and walked to the two of them, then pointed to the hospital bed beside him and said:

"Ms. Li, is your back bothering you? Lie down first, let me take a look!"

"Okay!"

Li Junfeng and Deng Changfeng exchanged a glance, then Li Junfeng nodded and lay down on the hospital bed next to him.

Su Zhengnan stepped forward, lifted the other man's clothes, and examined Li Junfeng's waist with both hands. He quickly determined that the other man's illness was the same as Deng Changfeng's before, namely sciatica.

Then, Su Zhengnan said with a smile, "Teacher Li, your illness is similar to that of Director Deng. Let me give you a massage first to relieve your lower back pain."

"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Su."

Li Junfeng, lying on the hospital bed, expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, I'll start your massage now!"

Su Zhengnan smiled and moved his wrists a few times before starting to massage him.

crackling sounds...

With Su Zhengnan's massage, Li Junfeng instantly felt a great comfort in his lower back, as if he were enjoying himself.

"Oh, this feels so good!"

Li Junfeng lay on the hospital bed, looking quite comfortable, and couldn't help but groan softly.

This scene is exactly the same as when Deng Changfeng gave a massage last year!

No wonder these two teachers became such good friends; not only do their names both contain the character "锋" (feng), but they even share the same illness.

crackling sounds...

Su Zhengnan's hands kept patting and massaging Li Junfeng's waist and buttocks, with varying degrees of pressure.

The massage ended after about ten minutes!

Su Zhengnan stopped what he was doing and said, "Alright, that's enough for today's massage. Teacher Li, please come back tomorrow!"

"That's it?"

Li Junfeng felt that the pain in his lower back had suddenly disappeared, and he sat up from the hospital bed in a daze and asked.

Su Zhengnan smiled and pointed to Deng Changfeng beside him, saying, "Actually, your situation is similar to that of Director Deng before. You'll need to have a few more massages later. Ask Director Deng about this and let him explain it to you!"

With that, Su Zhengnan turned around and sat down at his desk.

Li Junfeng got up, glanced at Deng Changfeng, thanked Su Zhengnan with a smile, and then pulled Deng Changfeng away.

I left the school clinic.

Deng Changfeng smiled and glanced at him, saying, "How about that? I told you Dr. Su from our school could cure your illness, right? Now do you believe me?"

"I believe it, I believe it. And you know what? This Dr. Su looks so young, but I never expected his massage skills to be so amazing. My back doesn't hurt anymore."

Li Junfeng nodded and praised him.

Deng Changfeng smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise why do you think I would drag you here in the middle of the night to see him for treatment?"

"......"

Li Junfeng was speechless!

Do I need you to introduce me to this school doctor?

I just didn't know that the school doctor was such a skilled physician.

Li Junfeng pursed his lips and said, "Alright, alright, I'll consider this a favor I owe you. I'll treat you to a late-night snack, okay?"

"That's more like it!"

Deng Changfeng smiled and nodded, then pulled Li Junfeng and walked out of the school.

"There's no time like the present, let's go out for a couple of drinks today, you're on the treat, we don't have any classes tomorrow anyway."

Li Junfeng: "......"
