Physician's Odyssey-Chapter 916 - Extreme Means
Chapter 916 - Extreme Means
Wu Jun’s family had been lucky. If they hadn’t ran into Su Tao, who was conducting a private investigation for the acquisition, he wouldn’t be here. If he wasn’t here, Wu Jun’s family would be a tragedy.
If Wu Jun died after so many days of medical treatment, his parents would have to bear an enormous cost.
Ma Xiangming and Lei Zheng were both from the corporation, so they could naturally be arrogant.
However, Su Tao knew that meeting Wu Jun might be an accident, but he was confident that he could dig up more about the hospital with days of investigation.
Because the management of this hospital was too negligent. So it was normal to have medical disputes.
Gong Manjiang also started puzzling what Su Tao was doing here. Judging from the looks of it, he didn’t seem to have any relationship with Wu Jun’s parents.
Perhaps Su Tao’s presence in the hospital wasn’t an accident.
Lei Dong sneered, “Mr. Su, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you saved a life. This hospital belongs to the Nonferrous Metals Group, not your home. It’s our problem how we’re going to solve it. An outsider like you don’t need to get yourself involved.”
Shaking his head, Su Tao smiled bitterly, “No wonder your hospital has been losing money. With someone like you in the management, it makes sense why the hospital runs so poorly.”
“You!” Lei Dong’s face turned red from anger. “I won’t go into it with you out of respect for a National Healer.”
“But I still want to talk with you.” Su Tao smiled. “Aren’t you curious why I’m here?”
Gong Manjiang frowned, “Why?”
“That’s because I am preparing to acquire this hospital!” Su Tao sneered. He didn’t hide his intentions.
“What a joke!” Lei Dong mocked. “That’s impossible. Many people have come to talk about the acquisition, but they’ve all been rejected. Stop daydreaming.”
Su Tao turned around and looked at He Duo, “Don’t worry about it, Nurse He. I’ll employ you again after I acquire this hospital even if they fire you. Even if they don’t fire you, there’s nothing to worry about. After this incident is over, I guarantee that the hospital will undergo a total transformation.”
He Duo nodded. Su Tao’s sincere words made her heart throb like a wild deer.
Then, Su Tao turned to Wu Jun’s parents, “Wu Jun is out of danger now, but I suggest you guys transfer him somewhere else. As for the hospital, you can leave that to me. I’ll handle it for you. There’s no need to worry about the cost either. I’ll pay for it in advance and someone will pay it in the future.”
Both Wu Jun’s parents were grateful to Su Tao.
This hospital was rotten down to the bone. There was no way Su Tao could get anything done talking to them calmly. So Su Tao might as well fall out with them completely
Others might think that it would increase his difficulty to acquire the hospital, but it wasn’t. Even if he came with a smile, it wouldn’t make the acquisition any easier.
However, now that things became stiff, it wasn’t appropriate for Wu Jun to stay in this hospital. Although these people wouldn’t try to kill him, it would be troublesome if they did anything during the nursing process to cause irreversible harm.
Su Tao made another phone call. Roughly half an hour later, an ambulance came from the Provincial People’s Hospital to pick up Wu Jun.
Su Tao didn’t continue to trouble Yue Zun this time but through his connection with Yan Peng. Yan Peng naturally had connections around here as one of the top medicine distributors in China. So there was no difficulty for him to make arrangements. It was more efficient than giving a call to Yue Zun.
Moreover, he had reached a strategic partnership with Yan Peng. For a small favor like this, Su Tao could return it anytime in the future.
After Wu Jun left, Su Tao didn’t stay any longer and was about to leave.
He Duo, who changed into her pink trench coat, chased up to him. She had his hair draped down with a pink bow hairpin on her head, holding a delicate handbag in her hand that shined brightly from the studs. She called out, “Mr. Su, please wait up!”
Su Tao turned around and smiled. It hadn’t been long since he met He Duo, but he had a good impression about her. She was a woman with a pure heart, untainted by the world, which was extremely rare in this era.
“Nurse He, is there anything I can help you with?” Su Tao asked.
“There’s nothing special. I just want to remind you that it won’t be easy for you to acquire this hospital. There have been many acquisition attempts in the past, but there aren’t any results.” Although He Duo had only been in the hospital for a few years, she still knew a lot of insider information.
“Thank you for your reminder.” Su Tao smiled.
He Duo eagerly contributed, “The Nonferrous Metals Group tried selling the hospital three times. But the shareholders disagreed with that and they eventually gave up. The Nonferrous Metals Group also wanted to get rid of this mess. After all, the hospital is in a mess. But there are more than 100 shareholders in the corporation, and too many people’s interests are involved.”
“I know, thank you.” Su Tao smiled.
The hospital had actually been reformed in the past. Back then, employees bought shares to participate in the operation. More than 100 employees bought a total of 51% shares from the hospital. The remaining 49% were controlled by the Nonferrous Metals Group. It wasn’t a good thing. After all, anything that had to be done needed the unanimous consent from all the shareholders. As a result, this led to the failure of acquisition talks.
Most importantly, most of the shareholders have retired, and they feel that selling the shares wouldn’t be beneficial to their own interest.
After all, where would those shareholders get their retirement pension if the hospital got acquired?
Then again, the executives of the hospital did not want the hospital to be sold in this state. The Nonferrous Metals Group have been making profits annually. So it wasn’t difficult for them to allocate some money to the hospital.
Moreover, many executives from the Nonferrous Metals Group assigned their relatives to take up posts in the hospital, taking pay without any job done. So how would those people be arranged if the hospital got acquired?
In summary, there were many reasons that hindered the hospital from being acquired.
After a brief pondering, He Duo actively asked, “Can I add your social media?”
Su Tao was briefly stunned before he smiled, “Sure!” He then took out his phone and added He Duo.
This was the first time He Duo asked an opposite sex for his contact detail in her life. As she blushed, she explained, “I will visit Wu Jun’s family. And if they need any help, I might have to trouble you.”
Patting himself on the forehead, Su Tao blamed himself, “I’ve been too careless. I said that I’ll be paying for the medical expense, but they won’t be able to find me without my contact details. They might even take me for a liar.”
“I didn’t mean that. How will someone like you break your promise?” He Duo smiled, shaking her head.
“I didn’t expect you to understand me this well. I prefer eating sweet food rather than salt.” Su Tao smiled.
He Duo smiled. Her expression became serious as she replied, “I hope that you can bring justice to those who commit crimes.”
“I’m just a physician.” Su Tao sighed helplessly.
“I know that you’re not an ordinary doctor. You’re someone who can change the current situation in the hospital.” He Duo replied honestly.
“Oh! Your eyesight is too lethal to me.” Su Tao shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Really? Was I too fierce?” He Duo was startled. She immediately lowered her head.
“You got me wrongly. Your eyesight is filled with righteousness. It makes my blood boil.” Su Tao smiled. “This is both a pressure and encouragement to me.”
He Duo smiled, “I just looked up on you on the internet. You’re the representative of miracles.”
Su Tao humbly smiled, “Those are just coincidences.”
After parting with He Duo, Su Tao stopped a taxi and stopped by a car in the southern outskirts. As soon as he got out, he was welcomed by a handsome man. Su Tao felt a little weird when he shook hands with this person.
“It has been a long time, Mr. Su!” Xie Chang smiled heartedly. Looking at him, there was no way Su Tao could tell that Xie Chang had a different sexual orientation.
Xie Chang’s nickname was Snow Leopard. He was Yan Jing’s confidant, who was previously stationed in Baihe City. When Su Tao was rescuing Little Yuan from Bei Xuqing, he had received help from Xie Chang.
Su Tao was even jealous of Xie Chang for being so close to Yan Jing. But he later learned that Xie Chang didn’t like women.
After Mao San was captured in Huainan Province, Xie Chang came to Shanzhou Province. This bar once belonged to Mao San. The business was good, and many people could encounter university girls here. But in reality, there weren’t many university girls here. Most of the women here were those in the society.
Xie Chang took Su Tao to the office oen the second floor and made a cup of tea for him. He smiled, “The thing that you asked me to investigate is almost done. I’m just waiting for you to get someone to deal with it right away.”
Holding onto his chin, Su Tao pondered briefly before he replied, “We need to be more well-planned.”
The two then began to talk about their plan to acquire Xijing Workers Hospital. They were resorting to extreme means for extreme times. Su Tao had no choice but to do it because there was no other way he could get it done in such a short period of time.
Then again, the conspiracy was aimed at lowly people. It could be considered revenge against those people and bring justice to them.
