Free Web NovelChapter 66: Chapter 66 No Charge
The director was stunned after hearing everything and was too frightened to speak.
"Director, right now my little brother wants to book the entire VIP ward of the hospital. What do you say, is that possible?"
Wang Linsong pointed at Wang Hao and looked at the director with disdain as he spoke.
"Ah? Book the whole ward?"
The director was shocked by Wang Linsong’s words. How could one person occupy the whole VIP ward? Clearly, this was retaliation against him.
"What, you don’t want to do it?"
Wang Linsong’s face changed.
"Willing, of course willing. I’ll immediately arrange for someone to handle Mr. Xia’s admission process. Please take it easy, don’t harm your health."
The director quickly agreed.
How could he object now? He had earlier been boastful in front of Wang Linsong, and now that the old man had caught the opportunity, he was certainly here to settle scores. Besides, this Wang Linsong was still Director Wang’s father. There was no way he could afford to offend him, so he had no choice but to accommodate.
Although the director had previously agreed to Zhou Kun to teach Wang Hao a lesson, Zhou Kun was after all just a deputy director of the Environmental Protection Agency, which couldn’t compare with the city’s medical office. The director clearly understood which was more important.
"What are you standing there for, go immediately and handle the VIP ward admission process for Mr. Xia!"
The director, unable to vent his anger, started yelling at Director He.
Director He trembled and said slowly with his head down.
"Mr. Xia has already... been sent away... oh no, he’s already been discharged."
"What?"
Xia Xue was shocked upon hearing this. Just now her father was supposed to stay in the ward without moving, and they actually took the opportunity to kick him out?
Wang Hao immediately stepped forward and grabbed Director He by the collar, his teeth clenched with rage.
"If anything short of good happens to Xia Xue’s father today, don’t expect to leave the hospital alive!"
Director He was so frightened that his face lost color, and he looked at the director pitifully.
Though Director He didn’t have a good feeling about Xia Xue and her father, he certainly didn’t hate them enough to kick them out of the hospital. Moreover, he was just a director and didn’t have the authority to discharge patients.
Everything he did was under the director’s instructions.
But now, to save himself, the director had scapegoated him, and Director He felt very wronged.
The director was also cunning, having left himself an out. Now, he only thought of self-preservation.
So he shouted at Director He loudly.
"Don’t just stand there, go bring Mr. Xia back right now. If you can’t bring him back, you might as well stop being a director."
Director He was in a difficult position, but he lowered his head and hurriedly walked out to invite Xia Youquan back.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wang Hao.
"You’re not qualified to invite him!"
There was an implication in Wang Hao’s words. Although he was addressing Director He, his gaze was fixed on the director.
The director understood what Wang Hao meant and glanced at Wang Linsong and Director Wang.
All these people were not to be messed with, and today he could only endure it.
"I’ll go, I’ll go and invite Mr. Xia myself."
After saying that, the director ran out of the office.
Worried about her father, Xia Xue also ran out.
Wang Hao wanted to follow, but Wang Linsong stopped him.
"Young friend, don’t worry. Chief Li has already gone down earlier, your relative will be fine."
Director Wang stepped forward and spoke to Wang Hao. Despite holding a high position, he didn’t have any airs and seemed very approachable.
Plus, judging from his move to arrange for someone to find Mr. Xia in advance, his approach to handling affairs was also very meticulous and thoughtful.
"Director Wang, thank you for everything today!"
Wang Hao said gratefully.
"Don’t thank him. He should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you that day, he would have no father by now, and he would have been an orphan."
Before Director Wang could reply, Wang Linsong had already cut in.
"Dad, you..."
Director Wang just began to speak but was silenced by a dismissive glance from Wang Linsong.
Strangely enough, Wang Linsong seemed to give no face to his son no matter the son’s high office, making the relationship between the two seem a bit rigid.
But Wang Hao just observed this and didn’t feel it was his place to comment.
"Brother, thank you for saving my dad. From now on, you are a great benefactor to our family." Director Wang handed Wang Hao a business card, "Take this, and if there’s anything you need my help with, just give me a call. As long as I can do it, I will not delay."
"Today you have already done me a big favor, I..."
"Don’t be shy, from now on we are brothers, and it’s only right for brothers to help each other out. Moreover, I should thank you for standing up for what’s right, for bringing to light the malpractices at this hospital. I will make sure to investigate thoroughly, and no one will escape."
Director Wang said with righteous indignation.
Wang Hao was somewhat embarrassed by what Director Wang said.
He turned to Wang Linsong and said,
"Old man, I’ve noticed that your illness is a bit peculiar. I know a few unconventional remedies, so if you feel unwell again, just call me."
He then left after giving his phone number to Wang Linsong.
Wang Linsong watched Wang Hao’s departing figure, nodding and smiling repeatedly.
"Dad, was it really him who cured your..."
Director Wang stopped mid-sentence. In the Wang Family, there was a hereditary disease with a low chance of inheritance, but anyone who inherited it would meet an untimely death.
"Otherwise, why would I go to such lengths to help him?"
Wang Linsong glared at Director Wang.
"Should we report this to the higher-ups?"
Director Wang asked.
"Wait for now. This young man is certainly no ordinary person. Let me observe him first,"
Wang Linsong said with a serious expression.
"Dad, you are still too soft-hearted!" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Director Wang said reproachfully before leaving.
Wang Linsong, hearing this, merely curved the corners of his mouth in a smile and brushed it off.
The hospital director and Director He worked together to bring Xia Youquan back to the hospital, arranging for a stay in the special care ward.
"I’m not staying in this ward!"
Xia Youquan, seeing the words "special care ward," adamantly refused to be admitted.
He knew that staying in a regular ward was already a burden to his daughter, and a special care ward was so expensive—how could he afford it? He absolutely didn’t want to add more trouble to his daughter’s life.
Wang Hao and Xia Xue’s persuasion was to no avail, Xia Youquan stubbornly refused to stay.
"Mr. Xia, please don’t put us in a difficult position. Just settle in peacefully, it will help with your recovery,"
The hospital director and Director He were somewhat anxious seeing Xia Youquan’s lack of cooperation.
"Dad, I know you’re worried about the money, but rest assured, as long as you can get better, I will make sure you get treated even if I have to pawn everything we own,"
Xia Xue said with her eyes reddened.
"Xia Xue, this ward is too expensive. I know my condition and that I don’t have long to live. I don’t want to make your life difficult because of me. Let’s just move to a regular ward,"
Xia Youquan was aware of the severity of his condition and stubbornly refused to be admitted.
Everyone was at a stalemate outside the ward, unable to persuade Xia Youquan.
The hospital director also looked helplessly at Wang Hao.
"Director, can’t you make an exception? After all, it was your staff who started this mess,"
Wang Hao hinted to the hospital director with his eyes.
"An exception? How so?"
The hospital director appeared puzzled, not understanding what Wang Hao meant.
"Mr. Xia thinks the special care ward is too expensive, so I was wondering..."
Wang Hao said with a mischievous smile.
The hospital director instantly understood.
"Alright, alright, let’s cut the cost in half. Mr. Xia, please stay with peace of mind!"
The hospital director said, smiling accommodatingly, though internally he was wincing as the discounted fees would be deducted from their year-end bonuses.
"No, it’s still too expensive. Xia Xue, let’s just go to the regular ward,"
Even with a half-price discount, which would be seven hundred fifty, it would still cover several days in a regular ward. Xia Youquan was still staunchly unwilling to stay.
Wang Hao didn’t want to keep at this deadlock and knew it was impossible for the hospital director and Director He to offer more concessions.
So he stepped forward and flashed a sly smile at the hospital director and Director He.
"Uncle, you relax and stay. Your hospitalization won’t cost a penny!"
