Free Web NovelChapter 1557: Chapter 632: Stealing Medicine? A Chance to Win Over the Pharmaceutical Department Appears
The phone was quickly connected.
"Cheng Xiaolu, is there something urgent you’re looking for me about?"
Zhou Can asked gently.
"Wuu wuu... my dad was beaten up!"
She hadn’t even managed to speak before she started crying.
Understandably so, a girl with no one to rely on finally meets a large-hearted doctor with influence who helps her in every way.
In her eyes, Zhou Can had long become a trusted and respected figure she could rely on.
Now that her father was beaten, as a helpless girl, she had no means to seek justice. Asking Zhou Can for help was like a bullied child running to their parents to complain.
Emotions are hard to control, and she would usually cry in sadness.
"Who beat him? Where are you now?"
"I’m in the waiting hall of the Emergency Department. I called you earlier, but no one answered, so I thought you might be in surgery, and I asked a nurse to help pass the message."
"Okay, wait there, I’ll be right over."
Zhou Can swiftly headed towards the waiting hall with long strides.
The Emergency Department’s business was bustling now, and there were many patients in the waiting hall.
Soon, Zhou Can saw Cheng Xiaolu’s frail figure, holding her phone anxiously waiting for his arrival.
"Cheng Xiaolu!"
He called out, and she turned her head at his voice.
At the moment she saw Zhou Can, her eyes involuntarily reddened. However, her face showed a hopeful expression as if she found a savior.
"Director Zhou, I..."
"There’s no need to say anything. Where is your dad? How is he doing now?"
"My dad is detained in the Pharmacy Department and not allowed to leave. Several people beat him, I’m worried something might happen, so I quickly came to find you."
"Who are the people that beat your dad? Why did they beat him?" Zhou Can wouldn’t be biased and believed most of it, but with the chaos in the Pharmacy Department’s management, he himself had arranged a room for Cheng Xiaolu’s father to live in, so such an incident shouldn’t have occurred.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be undermining him as the new boss?
Though he didn’t personally arrange the housing, he assigned it to a deputy leader in the Pharmacy Department.
Last time, he also asked this deputy leader to help Cheng Xiaolu with a leave of absence.
Cheng Xiaolu worked in the pharmaceutical research department, Director Huang was her immediate superior.
Above her were the group leader and technical supervisor.
Since the Pharmacy Department was previously managed by Tuya Hospital, there was no position for a technical director. Director Huang was equivalent to a technical director, primarily responsible for managing the extensive section of extracting and researching herbal medicine.
It’s necessary to complain about the former management system of the Pharmacy Department; under normal circumstances, a technical director should be selected from technical supervisors.
But Tuya Hospital didn’t do that.
Instead, they applied the hospital’s management model which allowed administrative staff, who didn’t understand technology, to assume the position of a technical director.
The intent might have been that administrative personnel had more experience in management and could manage the Pharmacy Department better.
But it backfired.
These seasoned veterans initially might have diligently managed their respective teams.
Over time, these administrative staff in key positions, emboldened by power, almost did whatever they wanted.
If we’re talking about manipulating people, no one dared to claim second place after hospital administrative personnel claimed first.
The number of doctors and nurses who had been challenged or left was countless.
But it also depended on the hospital; Tuya Hospital, with a wise dean, still maintained a reasonably clean and conscientious environment.
"Director Huang said my father stole something, and he called the Pharmacy Department’s security to catch him. My dad defended himself a bit, and then they started hitting him..."
They discussed as they walked, hurrying to the scene of the incident.
No matter whether her father had done anything wrong, the first step was to stop the violence.
If she really had stolen something, further actions could be taken according to the rules. Neither the Pharmacy Department nor the hospital’s security had any law enforcement power, much less the right to assault people.
"Did you call the police?"
"I did. But they kept insisting my dad stole something, and there were so many of them, I was worried I couldn’t argue against them, so I quickly asked for your help. I can guarantee my dad definitely didn’t steal anything..."
Talking about this, she felt both wronged and angry.
The two quickly arrived at the scene.
There were many people around, but the police had not arrived yet.
"Everyone, look, it’s this person who’s been living for free in our Pharmacy Department, not only being ungrateful but also stealing our herbal medicine. When I discovered it, he still wouldn’t admit it. Such country folks don’t deserve sympathy."
Director Huang shouted at the top of his lungs to explain to everyone surrounding.
The crowd pointed fingers at Cheng Xiaolu’s father.
The old man was sitting on the ground with a bag of herbs beside him.
"Dad! Don’t be afraid, I brought Director Zhou to help us seek justice."
Cheng Xiaolu pushed her way through the crowd and protectively stood in front of her father.
When she was a child, her father protected her.
Now that she had grown up, her father had grown old, his legs disabled, frail, and feeble; courageously, she turned around to protect him.
This scene touched many onlookers, making them feel a pang of sorrow.
"Cheng Xiaolu, I now announce, you’re dismissed. Director Ge sympathized with you and your father, specially making a room available for your father, yet you both fail to appreciate it, stealing from the Pharmacy Department. Our Pharmacy Department is no place for villains, thus we’re taking action to dismiss you. As for this old thing who stole, the Public Security will handle it and sentence him."
