Outside the treatment room, Zhou Kuangsheng sat with a thin, scholarly-looking young man, chatting intermittently.

The short, plump man was a foreman, scurrying back and forth, and soon brought over a cup of Master Kang instant noodles with a braised egg, a pack of pickled vegetables, and a sausage for the young man. “Old Zhou, I’ll go make your noodles for you. Have something to fill your stomach first!”

After he finished speaking, it wasn’t long before the instant noodles were brought over and placed on a chair with the pickles, sausage, and braised egg added in.

Zhou Kuangsheng gave a smile, “Foreman, you guys go on and get busy. We’re fine here.”

The short, plump man nodded, “You guys take care of this first, I’m going to get them something to eat.”

Having said that, he got up and left!

Fortunately, it was Zhou Kuangsheng’s left hand that was injured. His right hand was still free to do anything. After a brief bandaging by the nurse, the bleeding had stopped now.

“Is that your foreman? He seems quite responsible!” said the slim man with glasses, watching the bustling foreman and couldn’t help but ask.

Zhou Kuangsheng smiled, “Yeah. Little Zhao, our foreman, is a good person. He’s taken care of us as we travel from place to place over the years. Last year during the New Year, to get our pay, he stubbornly waited outside the boss’s house for a week. It wasn’t until eleven o’clock on New Year’s Eve that he got the money and went home.”

“To follow a boss like that, you feel secure!”

Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned, then nodded in agreement, “The young fellow is really good!”

As they were speaking, the emergency room outside became noisy again.

In the meantime, a group of people were hustling a young boy in from outside in a hurry.

“Who is Doctor Chen Cang!?”

The leader, a middle-aged woman in a dress, asked with a worried expression.

Tan Zhonglin was suddenly confused.

Did all of today’s patients like to bring their relatives?

This group of people, consisting of about five or six individuals, were dressed fashionably, creating a stark contrast with the group of workers from before!

Tan Zhonglin quickly asked, “Hello, Doctor Chen is stitching up a patient right now. What seems to be the problem?”

The middle-aged woman hurriedly moved forward, “My child accidentally injured his wrist today. We went to the Provincial People’s Hospital, but Director Tan Zhonglin was out on a trip, so they told me to come to the Second Provincial Hospital and find Doctor Chen Cang from the emergency department!”

“How long will it take for Doctor Chen?”

Tan Zhonglin shook his head, “It might take some time; there’s another patient ahead with pretty severe injuries. You might want to sit down and rest for a while!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s face changed instantly, “In that case… I’ll go talk to Doctor Chen, where is he?”

Hearing this, Tan Zhonglin couldn’t help feeling a knot in his stomach. Was this another VIP?

“Doctor Chen is in the treatment room doing a procedure. It would be best for you to wait for him to come out. Please don’t interrupt Doctor Chen’s treatment.”

“Sister, wait a second,” a man in a shirt and trousers consoled her.

The middle-aged woman sighed, quickly approached the boy, “Rui Er, are you okay? Does it hurt?”

The boy looked to be around twenty, dressed in hip-hop style clothing, his hair dyed purple, and his face clearly expressing, “What’s it to you?”

Upon hearing the woman’s words, the boy huffed coldly and did not reply.

After a while… since the door had not yet opened,

The middle-aged woman grew even more anxious.

Pacing back and forth, she was fretful and murmured, “Why hasn’t he come out yet!”

The boy said with a mocking tone, “You think this is your hospital? You ask someone to come out, and they just appear? This is a hospital, not your company. What you say doesn’t count.”

The middle-aged woman turned around with a stern face, ready to scold someone, but upon seeing the boy’s gaze, she clenched her teeth and swallowed her anger.

Suddenly remembering something, the woman picked up the phone and walked to the corner, “Hello? Zhao Bureau, yes! I am Liu Ze’s wife. Uh, I’m now in the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2. My child had an accident, but there are too many people ahead of us. Do you know someone who could help?”

“Oh! Thank you for your trouble, alright, alright!”

At this moment, the door to the treatment room opened, and Chen Cang said to Yang Zhifu, “For the time being, there is no need for a hospital stay. Go home and rest well, and make sure to take your medicine and come for a follow-up as prescribed.”

After speaking, Chen Cang said to Zhou Kuangsheng, “You can come in now!”

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly ran towards Chen Cang, not caring whether her high-heeled shoes were convenient!

“Wait, wait! Dr. Chen Cang, right? I am a friend of Director Tan Zhonglin from the Provincial Government. I have something to discuss with you.”

Chen Cang nodded, “What’s the matter? Just say it, but… be quick. The patient needs treatment and we can’t delay for long.”

Upon hearing this, the woman’s face brightened, and she hurriedly turned back, “Come, come, Rui Er, come with me.”

The boy shook his head, “I’m not going anywhere. I want to wait in line. The hospital has its order, and I will wait. You can go in if you want, but I won’t!”

These words left the woman trembling with rage, her finger pointed at the boy in fury!

“Aren’t you afraid that if you miss the best treatment period, your hand will be ruined? That you’ll be disabled?”

The boy let out a cold laugh, “What’s the difference between me now and a disabled person? Haven’t you decided not to teach me? Look! This is how others educate me; they do it for you. Sometimes, I think I should thank them.”

Seeing this, the man in the shirt intervened, “That’s enough, little Rui. Let’s not talk about this now. First, let’s take a look at your hand, and we can discuss this later. After all, your health is what’s important.”

While talking, the man glared at the woman and pulled the boy forward.

The woman followed: “Doctor, please treat my child first. He’s still young; don’t delay!”

Chen Cang said, “Come in, and let me take a look.”

The woman quickly brought the boy in. Chen Cang removed the bunch of stuff covering the wound, examined it—a jagged cut at the base of the thumb with some glass shards, half-severed tendons, and some blood vessel damage, but nothing too serious.

After inspecting it, Chen Cang said, “It’s not too serious. Take the child to the waiting area; there’s another patient ahead whose condition is relatively more severe.”

Upon hearing this, the boy turned and walked out, but the woman hastily pulled at him, “Doctor! Please, could you treat my child first?”

After speaking, she reached into her purse, fumbled around, and took out her wallet. She pulled out all the cash and stuffed it into Chen Cang’s hands, a total of more than ten thousand, “Please, doctor. My child is still young and has a promising future.”

Seeing this, Chen Cang immediately refused, “Big sister, this isn’t appropriate. This is a hospital, and you must wait your turn. We have our rules here.”

After speaking, Chen Cang stepped out, “Zhou Kuangsheng, come in, please.”

Chen Cang never had much fondness for those who felt that having money meant they could disregard the rules with impunity, especially since Zhou Kuangsheng’s condition was indeed severe; he outright refused.

The woman’s expression changed, and she said to Chen Cang, “Dr. Chen, Director Tan Zhonglin is a friend of mine. By the way, I am the Chairman of Reid Pharmaceutical Company. We also have partnerships with your hospital. Could you possibly make an accommodation for us?”

Chen Cang shook his head, “You’ll need to wait outside. The boy’s condition isn’t too severe, so a short delay won’t have any consequences.”

The boy sneered, “See? Your money is no good here.”

The woman’s face turned, and she picked up the phone, dialing a number, “Hello? Chief Song, this is Xiang Ying from Reid. Yes, Liu Ze’s wife. I’m at your hospital right now. Yes, my child has had an accident and we’re at the emergency department. Could you possibly do us a favor? Yes, Chen Cang, Dr. Chen!”

She handed the phone to Chen Cang, “Dr. Chen, this is Chief Song from your medical affairs department.”

Chen Cang shook his head, “Sorry, I can’t take the call!”

“Zhou Kuangsheng, come in quickly. Your condition doesn’t look good; hurry in!”

Chen Cang couldn’t help but urge.
