Chapter 939: Air of Arrogance

“Let’s go back, we are no longer needed here.” Faulkner followed the huge group as he watched Du Jiadong entering the ICU.

Du Jiadong, who was still under anesthesia, looked remarkably serene. The numbers shown for the various tests conducted on him showed that he was beginning to stabilize. Faulkner could not describe his inexplicable feelings.

The consultation fees the Chinese gave him was quite high, and it far exceeded the standard he was accustomed to, but Faulkner would rather perform a surgery and take away more money in a legitimate manner.

Unfortunately, the other party had not given him a chance to choose.

When Dobin got out of the elevator, he took out a cigar, sniffed it, and said, “I’m not in a hurry to go back. Holidays can’t be wasted. Hmm… do you play cards? How about a few rounds later?”

“No.” Faulkner declined clearly without the slightest hesitation.

“You have a date?” Dobin asked jokingly.

Faulkner subconsciously rubbed his forehead and shook his head, “No.”

Dobin said, “You can try a date… You really don’t want to play cards?”

“No, thanks. I’m going to look for something to eat.” Faulkner still shook his head.

“You’re no fun.” Dobin sighed and looked at the German next to him.

The German doctor Corbert said, “I’m going back to sleep.”

“Well, by the looks of it, Faulkner is actually more interesting.” Dobin commented casually.

The three went their separate ways and went to attend each of their own activities.

The three interpreters and other staff members had to follow their respective doctor. The large group hence dispersed, and no longer remained as much of an eyesore.

Faulkner went out of the hospital with a few interpreters in a majestic stride. He went around Yun Hua City with the attitude of a tourist.

Du Jiadong’s surgery went smoothly, and his current condition was stable. Therefore, neither the family doctor of Tonca Group, Lao Yongyong, nor Junan Clinic, nor Yun Hua Hospital paid much attention to the several foreign doctors.

After all, they were not needed for the time being.

Faulkner could already guess where this is going. It was not the first time that he came in the name of Mayo Clinic. He went through the food street with a relaxed heart, and after eating and drinking his fill, he wiped his mouth and said to the interpreter, “Let’s go back to the hospital.”

“Huh? Aren’t you going back to the hotel first?” The interpreter was surprised.

Faulkner was too lazy to explain things, so he simply repeated himself. “We’re going back to the hospital.”

“Okay, but now, working hours is over for the hospital, and even if we go, we can only find a few people.” The interpreter naturally wanted to go back to the hotel to rest. If he had to go back to the hospital, who knew how much longer he would have to work.

Faulkner pouted. “We don’t need anyone.”

“Alright.” The interpreter sighed. “I’ll ask the driver to go there.”

Faulkner wanted to acknowledge what he said, but he then added, “Find a doctor who knows some IT. I want to watch a video of the surgery performed at noon.”

At any rate, it would be difficult to sleep alone if he went back to the hotel, and picking up girls in the bar was even more difficult. It was better to go to Yun Hua Hospital to watch the replay of the surgery, especially the early stages of the surgery. Faulkner had missed a lot of it.

The interpreter took out his phone, made a call, and turned around before he said, “I’ve made sure someone is there. We can watch the video now.”

“As long as someone’s there, it’s fine.” Faulkner got into the car, and he said nothing else, so he closed his eyes until Yun Hua Hospital was nearby in sight.

The small building of Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center seemed to be always brightly lit.

The visitation room, which Faulkner was a little familiar with now, was even lit.

“Their preparation work is well done.” Faulkner nodded to the interpreter with a smile, pushed the door, and went inside.

*Creak*

Inside the visitation room, a group of people turned their heads and looked at Faulkner.

Faulkner was stunned for a moment before he saw the New Yorker and German mixed in the crowd.

“Weren’t you out to play cards and you, going to bed?” Faulkner demanded before they could do the same to him.

“The game’s over,” Dobin said.

“I woke up,” Corbert replied and asked, “What about you?”

“I’m full.” What else could Faulkner say?

He looked at the screen in front of him. Then, he saw a few other screens, and each of them showed different videos. At first glance, it seemed that they were showing different operations, but after taking a closer look, they were all today’s surgery.

“I want to have a screen too.” Faulkner sat unceremoniously in the front row.

Several Yun Hua doctors looked at Faulkner. When they saw that he was the pessimistic foreign doctor, they all remained silent.

A staff member of Yun Hua Hospital quickly sent a new kit over with a cart. He set up a series of audio-visual systems in front of Faulkner and gave Faulkner a headset as well as a corresponding remote control.

Faulkner took it, opened today’s video, and watched as if there was no one else present.

The visitation room returned to peace until the next doctor arrived.

……

Early next morning, when dew had just appeared on the leaves and the early worms had just been served to the birds, Du Jiadong was awake.

Doctor Yan, who was in the on-call room, was inexplicably surprised. He made a call quickly to Lao Yongyong, who had given him a red envelope and his phone number the day before, Hospital Director Bo, Young Master Du, Butler Li, Manager Niu, Director Zhu, Director Ma, Supervisor Luo, Miss Yang, Misses Gou, Pregnant Lady Mao, Baby Yu…

Not long after, a large group of people was gathered outside the ICU.

“It’s all thanks to everyone, thank you, all of you.” Lao Yongyong entered the ICU. Although he only said a few words to the chairman, he was also very excited and could not control himself. He took out part of his funds as a family doctor and started distributing red envelopes to whoever was in a white coat. Later on, even if they were driven away, they were smiling when they left.

Wang Chuanwen, who was also waiting outside the ICU, looked at this scene and was quite touched. Wang Chuanli’s operation had been performed by Ling Ran. Wang Chuanwen could still remember the excitement he felt when his brother got better.

Coincidentally, Hospital Director Bo of Junan Clinic was beside him, and Wang Chuanwen asked, “Hospital Director Bo, do you know this doctor? I heard that he is the family doctor of the chairman of Tonca Group?”

Hospital Director Bo was trying to make Wang Chuanwen, a nouveau riche, into his own client, and he said with a smile, “Not only do I know him, but I’m somewhat familiar with him. Doctor Luo has been Chairman Du’s family doctor for more than ten years.”

“He seems to be pretty useful.” Wang Chuanwen recalled his experience during that period and suddenly felt that having a family doctor could be a lot more convenient, especially if his and the family doctor’s interests were aligned.

Hospital Director Bo was stunned, but he did not know how to respond to that.

Wang Chuanwen did not think too much about it, so he went up to Lao Yongyong, said hello, and exchanged a few pleasantries, “How many customers do you have now, Mister Lao?”

Lao Yongyong looked at Wang Chuanwen warily, and especially at Hospital Director Bo, who was beside him. His expression became serious, “This is a trade secret.”

“So, do you mind having another customer?” Wang Chuanwen chuckled.

“My fees are quite high.” Although Lao Yongyong did not reject him, his attitude was quite arrogant.

If Chairman Du failed to survive this time, Lao Yongyong would need to find another job. However, now that he survived, Lao Yongyong was not in such a hurry to get another client.

Wang Chuanwen’s eyes lit up instead and said, “I don’t mind if your fees are a little high as long as it’s more than your money’s worth.”

“In the medical industry, whenever there is additional service needed, then the price would be ten times higher than what is originally charged. That has always been the rule.” Lao Yongyong’s eyes fell on Hospital Director Bo’s face, and his words sounded a little more provocative.

Wang Chuanwen smiled even more. “It makes sense for you to say that, this is my business card …”

Lao Yongyong hesitated to accept it.

Hospital Director Bo’s eyes were fixed on it.

The area outside the ICU had never been a place for conversations, but when Wang Chuanwen gave Lao Yongyong a business card, his intentions were quite clear.

Hospital Director Bo had no time to pay attention to Lao Yongyong. He first followed Wang Chuanwen and asked in a low voice, “Mister Wang, do you think this doctor is suitable?”

“He’s a little arrogant, a little stubborn, and quite unpleasant with his words. Hmm… he also wants a lot of money.” Wang Chuanwen summed things up before he smiled. “But isn’t this how all those who are capable act?”

Hospital Director Bo was stunned and speechless. ‘Since when did not knowing how to act according to situations become an ability?’
