Chapter 266 -266: I Listen to Her
The hall bustled with people coming and going, all of whom were looking this way, even Sheng Tingyuan, who had arrived earlier, was watching.
Xu Bingwen couldn’t afford to lose face, so he quickly pulled Cong Ningyuan out.
He kept apologizing, “It was wrong of me to fire Doctor Anxin, but Mr. Cong, please don’t stop your hospital cooperation with us because of this! You previously refused to supply our hospital with medicine; could it be because of this matter?”
“Otherwise, what could it be because of?”
Xu Bingwen was shocked, “Is it really because of Doctor Anxin?”
Cong Ningyuan’s face remained cold, “What exactly compelled you to do that? Did she do anything to wrong you? It was bad enough to fire her, but you even tried to pin a label of bad character on her—are you of good character? I think you’re blind!”
Xu Bingwen had known him for quite some time and had never seen him so furious before.
He hurriedly said, “It’s all a misunderstanding, Doctor Anxin didn’t do anything to wrong me, on the contrary, she is my benefactor. To speak of shame, I was deceived by a woman with the surname Wen, which led to the misunderstanding…”
Cong Ningyuan frowned, “A woman surnamed Wen? Could it be Wen Nianyou again?”
“Mr. Cong, you know her?”
“Not exactly, I’ve just heard Doctor Anxin mention her before. She’s been constantly tripping up Doctor Anxin. How did she come to target you?”
“She didn’t target me. One day, she almost caused my wife to have a miscarriage. It was Doctor Anxin who saved my wife, but the woman with the surname Wen told me she saved my wife and that it was Doctor Anxin who caused the accident, leading to my misunderstanding.”
He had already explained the situation once to Sheng Tingyuan, and now he was forced to explain it again to Cong Ningyuan.
Each time he explained, Xu Bingwen felt increasingly foolish.
Played by a woman and having wronged a good person, he feared he might no longer be able to mix in this circle in the future.
“Mr. Cong, I’ve already apologized to Doctor Anxin, the hospital has issued a public notice, and Doctor Anxin has been rehired. Moreover, my father has returned to the position of chairman at Dome, and I’ve been dismissed by him.”
Xu Bingwen said, steeling himself, “The fault is all mine, but the Dome is my father’s many years of hard work, so I ask you to forgive me this once and not cease cooperation with Dome.”
What it meant for Jungle Pharmaceutical to cut off medicine supply to Dome, no one understood better than he did.
The Dome couldn’t afford to lose a cooperation opportunity with such a large pharmaceutical enterprise because of his mistake, or it would soon be overtaken by other hospitals.
“Indeed, it is your fault, but whether or not we’ll cooperate with Dome in the future is not up to whether I forgive you, but to Doctor Anxin—I listen to her,” Cong Ningyuan stated.
Xu Bingwen couldn’t have imagined he would say that.
The esteemed President of Jungle Pharmaceutical, who so many people tried to ingratiate themselves with to no avail, and whom major hospitals treated as the most honored guest, was claiming he listened to Doctor Anxin? And he said it as though it was a matter of course!
If it wasn’t for Sheng Tingyuan already having claimed to be Doctor Anxin’s husband, Xu Bingwen might have even thought that Cong Ningyuan was Doctor Anxin’s husband, and one who was strictly under his wife’s thumb at that.
He couldn’t help but ask Cong Ningyuan, “May I ask what is your relationship with Doctor Anxin? Why do you listen to her? Did she save your life?”
“No, but she is my benefactor. Without her, I wouldn’t have everything I have now. Anyway, before you try to make things difficult for her next time, weigh your options carefully. Don’t think you can bully her freely because she seems to have no backers.”
Xu Bingwen forced a wry smile, “I don’t dare to bully her anymore. Before you stopped me, President Sheng had already intervened. He warned me that if the compensation for Doctor Anxin wasn’t substantial enough, he would let Dome go bankrupt and shut down.”
This time, Cong Ningyuan remained silent for a long time.
Only after a good while did he let out a soft sigh, “He and Doctor Anxin are husband and wife. Since you dared to fire his wife, he naturally wouldn’t be happy. Bankrupting Dome would be letting you off easy.”
Having said that, he turned around and walked back into the hall.
Xu Bingwen also walked in, head bowed.
The banquet hall was resplendent and opulent, exuding grandeur and luxury. Right in the center, an elderly matriarch with white hair was seated, apparently having arrived at some point.
Standing beside the old lady was the owner of the restaurant, Xue Hong.
Seeing Xu Bingwen come in, Xue Hong bowed and said to the old lady, “Mother, he’s here.”
