Chapter 221: He also enjoyed privileged treatment
When Xiao Peng arrived at the municipal hospital, Deborah was already waiting for them at the door.
"How did you know I would come?" Xiao Peng asked.
Deborah said, "Your friend Rongrong received a call saying you're almost here!"
"China is so damn efficient." Xiao Peng sighed.
As an ordinary citizen, Xiao Peng was very disgusted with these interpersonal privileges, but he never expected that one day he would enjoy such treatment.
One has to admit that this person's status and class are different, and the treatment he enjoys is also different. Others can drive around the Forbidden City, but he is complacent about this little thing of his.
To put it bluntly, it's because I'm not used to the change in status.
"Where is Xiao Pa?" Xiao Peng asked.
Deborah said, "Mr. Pascal called and said he'd contact the best cerebrovascular specialist in France to come over for a consultation with your grandfather."
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this.
When he walked out of the elevator, Aunt Li came out of the ward. When she saw Xiao Peng, she was delighted: "You are here just in time. Your grandpa is awake!"
After hearing what Aunt Li said, Xiao Peng ran into the ward as quickly as possible.
Entering the ward, Xiao Peng nodded secretly. The environment here is good. When he saw this place, the first thing that came to his mind was a star-rated hotel.
His grandfather's room was what the hospital called a "special care ward," a room reserved for patients with their own private bathroom and shower, and a nearby "secretary's room" for accompanying patients. It's easy to imagine who usually stayed there.
Xiao Peng ran to the bedside and found that his grandfather had woken up and was looking at him.
"Grandpa! What do you think?" Xiao Peng said, holding his grandfather's hand.
"Where is this?" Grandpa asked. His speech was difficult and unclear due to the aftereffects of the stroke. But Xiao Peng had taken care of Grandpa before and was used to this.
Xiao Peng replied: "Grandpa, this is the Municipal Hospital. Grandpa, it's all my fault for coming back late. Now that I'm back, everything is fine!"
Grandpa didn't say anything. He just lay there and looked around: "Pengpeng, how much does it cost to live here?"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "Grandpa, what's the point of talking about money? What's important now is your illness! Your health is more important than anything else."
Grandpa was about to say something when Xiao Peng's phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Peng hung up the phone without even looking at it. Calling at this time? What the hell is wrong!
Grandpa took a look and said, "Pengpeng, you have something important to do."
Xiao Peng shook his head: "What business do I have? Nothing is more important than you."
Grandpa's frown relaxed after hearing this, and he said to Xiao Peng with difficulty: "Pengpeng, I want to sleep for a while."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng quickly said, "Grandpa, you should have a good rest first. Aunt Li is here with you. My friend has contacted the best expert in France to come and see you!"
Grandpa got anxious again after hearing this: "French experts? How much will that cost? I know my body well, don't waste money! You know what kind of people your two uncles are, I'll suffer if I stay in this world!"
Xiao Peng took his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, you still have me! I will accompany you from now on!"
Grandpa wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he indicated that he wanted to rest and waved his hand to let Xiao Peng go out.
Xiao Peng walked out of the ward, and Pascal and Liu Baorong just walked back. After seeing Xiao Peng, Pascal returned the bank card to Xiao Peng and said, "I have contacted the experts at the Lille Hospital in France. The diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases there is the highest in France. But they will not be here for a few days, so they must be asking for more money. I have taken care of this matter!"
"Thank you! Money is not important!" Xiao Peng took the bank card and turned to Liu Baorong and said, "Rongrong, thank you for making another trip."
Liu Baorong waved his hand and said, "Why are we being polite, brothers? How is Grandpa?"
Xiao Peng said, "I just woke up and fell asleep again. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't delay your work!"
"Hey!" Liu Baorong said with a smile, "Now I have to accompany you for business. My wife wanted to come and see us, but she has to take care of the children, so she asked me to bring him here to say hello."
Xiao Peng nodded: "Tell her to stop running around. I'll go see her in a couple of days."
He had just finished speaking when his phone rang again.
"Who is it?" He answered the phone, but he was obviously in a bad mood because a phone call had just disturbed him and his grandfather.
"Brother Xiao, it's me!" As soon as Xiao Peng heard the voice, he knew it was Chen Zetao.
Xiao Peng controlled his temper: "Brother Chen, I have something to do here..."
He wanted to hang up the phone.
"Brother Xiao, don't hang up!" Chen Zetao said hurriedly: "I heard that your grandfather is in the hospital?"
Xiao Peng hummed, "Yes, I'm in the hospital right now. Alas, there really are no secrets in our country. Tell me the truth, how many surveillance cameras are watching me?"
Chen Zetao coughed twice and changed the subject: "Um... Let me tell you, the comrades from the Health Bureau are on their way to your place. They're going to consult with your grandfather."
"People from the Health Bureau are coming?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this.
Chen Zetao smiled and said, "You were right the other day. You've actually done a lot for us. Now that I know that, of course I have to show my appreciation."
Xiao Peng was silent for a moment and said, "I accept this favor. I really need your help in this area."
"What's the point of this? Favors or not." Chen Zetao said, "If this counts as a favor, then how can we work together in the future? The people from the Health Bureau just said that after looking at your grandfather's medical records, it's unlikely he'll be able to bounce around. However, according to the records, there should be no problem with him being able to do basic activities after a period of treatment. The prerequisite is that he doesn't get angry again."
Xiao Peng hummed, "I won't say thank you. I don't care about anything else except my grandfather right now."
What he meant by saying this was to tell Chen Zetao: Don’t bother me recently!
Chen Zetao said, "Of course, I understand! I didn't come to you for anything else. Nothing is more important than the health of my family!"
After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Xiao Peng hung up the phone.
Xiao Peng held the phone and sighed inwardly.
Chen Zetao said that he had nothing else to talk to me about, but was that really the case?
If it weren't for the matter of the 'Pescara', would he be so concerned about introducing a doctor from the Health Bureau to me?
There is a very sad thing about living in this world: no one wants to be used as a pawn by others, but many times they are used because they have enough value. If they are not valuable, can Chen Zetao help him contact a doctor from the Health Bureau?
Xiao Peng didn't care about that now. He was really a half-baked Chinese medicine practitioner. It was precisely because he had studied medicine that he understood the principle that "medicine can't cure fatal diseases." Medicine is not omnipotent, but there are differences between doctors.
Those who can work as doctors in the Health Bureau must have top-notch medical skills. It is definitely a good thing that they can come to treat my grandfather!
No matter what, he admitted it!
