Chapter 495: Settlement of Accounts and Compensation
Qi Xu had only one request.
"It's simple. I just want a perfect graduation report and internship certificate. It should allow me to graduate successfully in three months."
This request was like waking up a vegetative patient who had been dormant for years. Unless one had extremely strong connections and could get the school to issue a new file, it would be impossible.
If Dean Wang had connections and a backer, he wouldn't have endured such hardships for decades and ended up being the dean of a small place like the border.
"Doctor Qi, the internship certificate issue is my fault."
"I was too arbitrary. I shouldn't have just listened to Zhang Meng's one-sided statement and just rashly signed and stamped to fire you."
"I made a mistake, and I sincerely apologize to you. Could you please accept other forms of compensation?"
Dean Wang bowed sincerely and admitted his mistake to Qi Xu.
Qi Xu smiled. She understood what Dean Wang meant. He was simply offering her money to stop.
As it happened, she really needed money.
"Not impossible. But I need to carefully calculate how much compensation to give."
Qi Xu started counting on his fingers in front of Lu Shixu and Long Yi.
"Dean Wang, because of you, I can't graduate successfully and I can't become a doctor in this life, so you have to compensate me for my work salary."
"Based on an average surgeon's salary of 8,000 yuan a month, that's 96,000 yuan a year. Add in performance bonuses and that's 100,000 yuan. That's 1 million yuan in 10 years."
"After ten years, I should be at least a chief physician. My salary will be 12,000 yuan a month. That's about 150,000 yuan a year, so in ten years that's 1.5 million yuan."
"After I turn 42, I should be promoted to vice president or president. 20,000 yuan a month is already the minimum salary. With my physical condition, I should have no problem living to 82."
"Because I'm unemployed, you should compensate me with my pension as well. So the director's salary is 240,000 yuan a year, and you have to compensate me for 40 years, which is 9.6 million yuan."
"Besides, I have excellent grades and was admitted to University A Medical School as an exceptional student for both my bachelor's and master's degrees. I was also going to pursue a doctorate. Now, because of you, I can't even get my diploma. If I go out, I'll be laughed at."
"As a colleague, I'll give you 2 million for your mental and reputational damages."
"Now let's sum up the account."
"My salary for ten years as a surgeon was 1 million, my salary for ten years as a chief physician was 1.5 million, and my salary for the last 40 years was 9.6 million. Add to that 2 million for mental and reputational damage, and the total is 14.1 million."
"I'm a generous person, so I'll round off the amount and give you 14 million."
"I'm buying out my 60-year future. You pay me, and I sign the agreement. How do you do it?"
Qi Xu spoke rapidly, her words flowing like pearls, and she was so energetic and vigorous when she calculated accounts that if you didn't know her, you would have thought she graduated from accounting instead of medicine.
Moreover, her calculations were not excessive at all. A top graduate from a top-tier university could indeed earn this much in his lifetime.
It's just that she even included retirement and piled up the amounts for 60 years together, so the calculated amount is such a huge one.
When Dean Wang heard this, he was completely stunned.
He has been practicing medicine for decades and is honest and incorruptible. Even if he took out all his assets and sold his house and car, he still couldn't raise 14 million.
But Qi Xu's calculations weren't excessive at all, and in fact, the salary was considered low. He couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"Doctor Qi, you know, I was born in a poor family too. I can't afford that much money!"
Qi Xu smiled and dropped another bombshell on him.
"Oh, you have no money! Then go to jail."
"I heard that your twin children are in their third year of high school and are doing very well. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and one of them is planning to apply to a military academy, and the other to a police academy."
"If you have a criminal record, I'm afraid your children won't be able to pass the political review, right?"
"Dean Wang, when you signed and sealed the agreement, ruining my future, did you ever consider that this retribution would fall upon your children?"
Every word Qi Xu spoke was sharp, like a sharp arrow, piercing Dean Wang's heart, causing him so much pain that he was completely speechless.
At this moment, he was extremely regretful for bringing in such a troublemaker like Zhang Meng. He had thought she was well-behaved and sensible, but who knew she was such a selfish fool.
Not only did it cause him to lose his job, but it also implicated his children.
With a plop!
Dean Wang knelt on the ground and begged Qi Xu with tears in his eyes.
"Dr. Qi, please, please let me go. I can sell my house, my car, and give you all my savings, but I really can't come up with 14 million."
"Please give me some time so I can pay in installments, okay?"
Qi Xu did not soften her heart just because Dean Wang knelt down and begged for mercy, because she had also begged him in tears in the morning.
"No! Everyone should pay for their own mistakes."
"I only accept a lump sum payment. Then, I will take the money and leave this city forever. I will never give you any trouble."
"Dean Wang, although I can't extend the payment time, I can still give you another half an hour to consider it at this moment."
Then, Qi Xu turned his attention to the other two patients in the ward.
"Colonel Lu, Captain Long, how should we handle this matter between you two?"
Long Yi was dumbfounded. He never expected that such a soft and cute girl could act so cruelly.
She argued with reason, took every step carefully, and sought justice for herself with a strong attitude.
His strategic planning, condescending attitude, and the aura of being able to stand alone are no less than those of a battle-hardened military leader.
"Doctor Qi, how much do you want?"
Long Yi thought that she still wanted money.
But Lu Shixu didn't think so. This girl was extremely intelligent and would never be so short-sighted as to focus all her efforts on money.
"Doctor Qi, what do you need me to do for you?"
Lu Shixu used the word "help" instead of "begging" because he was not afraid of the small matter Qi Xu mentioned and was fully capable of handling it.
He doesn't like being manipulated, and he doesn't like being led around like a fool.
"I don't need any help from a villain."
"Since Director Lu is so high and mighty, there's no need to discuss this."
"I know that video poses no threat to you. You're a high-ranking official, and I can't do anything to you. If you file a complaint against me, I'll just have to blame myself for my bad luck."
"But Colonel Lu, do you believe in fate? Do you believe in God?"
"If you bully me like this, from today on, I will pray to the heavens every day. In this life, every time I pass by a temple, I will go in and kneel down to the gods and make a wish that you will never meet Jiaojiao."
Lu Shixu had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, unable to fall out or burst out.
This young doctor really knows how to take his life.
In order to force him to take action, they even resorted to superstitious curses.
Her threats were even more despicable than blackmailing him for 50 million.
"Doctor Qi, I haven't complained about you, nor have I bullied you. Can you clarify the facts and then... then again..."
Lu Shixu thought for a long time before he came up with a suitable explanation.
"Go crazy and bite people again."
