At that moment, the scene became awkward!

Song Qiang had already heard Chen Cang’s words over the phone, inconvenient?

This kid, how inconvenient can he be!

Xiang Ying picked up the phone, “This… Director Song…”

Song Qiang’s face changed and he said, “Wait for me, I am still in the hospital, not yet gone. I’ll come down immediately.”

Today the hospital had finished assessing the temporary workers, and the Medical Affairs Department needed to amend the personnel contracts as soon as possible, so both the Medical Affairs and the Human Resources departments were busy with this matter. As the head of the Medical Affairs Department, Song Qiang hadn’t gone home yet.

At this time, Xiang Ying was not giving way, while the boy stood to the side, leaning against the wall, looking on as if watching a play.

The woman, upon seeing Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng’s attire, had an idea, “Um, two brothers, the child is still young, can you make an exception? Oh, here’s ten thousand yuan, please take it, is that okay?”

Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng’s faces turned from green to purple.

Very uncomfortable.

Zhou Kuangsheng was even more embarrassed. He wasn’t ignorant of the ways of the world; he knew that Dr. Chen Cang was a good person, but… even so, he was afraid of causing trouble for him.

And this woman’s dress clearly showed she was no ordinary person.

Calling on the phone, mentioning directors, chiefs, chairmen, she likely had a strong background. He wanted treatment too, but he also didn’t want to trouble Chen Cang!

Looking at the thick stack of money Xiang Ying offered, a lot, it would take him two or three months to save up. It could buy several good outfits for the kid, enough to save for his eldest son’s tuition fees.

But Zhou Kuangsheng couldn’t help but give a simple smile, “It’s okay, let the child be seen first. Everyone has children, and I feel sorry for the kid too. I am not so delicate, and in our line of work, we get injured often, no problem. Let the child go first, I’m not in a rush.”

Ten thousand yuan was very tempting, but some things are more important than money!

Having lived for over fifty years, didn’t he understand this? The woman must be very capable, and if he offended her, it could be bad for everyone…

Zhou Kuangsheng was an honest man, and since coming to the city, he felt out of place, keeping his distance from the rich and powerful.

At this time, he chose to step back.

Seeing this, Chen Cang felt helpless. About three minutes later, Song Qiang rushed in, probably running too fast which caused his bald spot to be starkly revealed.

Upon seeing Xiang Ying, Song Qiang greeted from afar with a smile, “Director Xiang, long time no see!”

Xiang Ying also smiled, “Director Song, sorry for the bother.”

Song Qiang quickly waved his hand and followed Chen Cang into the treatment room, “Dr. Chen? Right? You treat this child first, a few minutes won’t make a difference. You could’ve finished stitching him up in this time.”

Song Qiang didn’t know Chen Cang, only having heard the name recently. But… there were so many people in the hospital, and Chen Cang was just an insignificant figure.

The Medical Affairs Department is very important to doctors, directly in charge and also protecting them in disputes, like patient-doctor conflicts handled by the Medical Affairs Department.

So, in the hospital, Song Qiang’s status was by no means inferior to that of the deputy directors, even getting more respect than them since he directly managed the doctors.

Chen Cang shook his head, “Director Song, Zhou Kuangsheng’s condition is critical. Can you take that responsibility if you delay it?”

Chen Cang had already grown weary of these rich VIPs, impervious to reason!

The only thing that could be delayed was the patient’s treatment. After saying this, Chen Cang turned to Zhou Kuangsheng, “Come in, I can’t guarantee your hand will recover if you delay any further!”

Chen Cang’s words were unceremonious, leaving Song Qiang as if slapped in the face!

This was the first time since he’d been a chief that he had been so bluntly refused by a young doctor!

Song Qiang’s face changed drastically!

He was about to speak.

At this moment, the previously frail man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up, let out a cold laugh, “Is there no order in this hospital anymore? We’ve been waiting in line for so long, and you just jump the queue when you arrive? Are you Director Song? Is this how the hospital operates?”

As he spoke, the thin man gave Chen Cang a meaningful look. Chen Cang immediately understood, pulled Zhou Kuangsheng in, closed the door for treatment, not caring about the storm outside. What he needed to do now was treat the patient!

“`

Zhou Kuangsheng’s face was filled with nervous unease as he asked cautiously, “Dr. Chen… am I going to cause trouble for you?”

Chen Cang shook his head, “It’s fine. Let’s first administer the anesthesia to you.”

Zhou Kuangsheng still looked uneasy, “Dr. Chen, you’re still young and don’t understand… Those people are rich and powerful. They could be plotting against you in secret. By doing this today, ah… I’m really bringing trouble to a good person.”

Seeing Zhou Kuangsheng’s guilty look, Chen Cang comforted him:

“Big Brother Zhou, you’re about the same age as my parents, and they’re also villagers. If I, out of fear of those rich and powerful people, went against my conscience and did what I did today, I might never be able to live with myself. Once a person abandons their principles, it’s easy, but very hard to regain them later on!”

“One must have principles in life, and as a doctor, even more so. My responsibility lies with the happiness of people, bearing their health. If I lost my principles and bottom line today, tomorrow I would still be without principles and a bottom line. Such a doctor, I’d rather not be!”

“If I am to be a doctor, I shall stand tall and upright with integrity!”

Having said that, Chen Cang felt somewhat stirred up inside!

He didn’t know why he had spoken those words, they might have been meant for Zhou Kuangsheng to hear, but more so for himself.

If the hospital really did hand down a punishment, Chen Cang had thought it through clearly: he could simply drop everything and leave! The world was vast; there would surely be a place for Chen Cang. If Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Baoshan couldn’t give Chen Cang a fair environment, leaving might not be such a bad thing after all.

The Chen Cang of now was no longer the man he had been before.

With the system in place, if he still had to walk on eggshells, blindly follow others without principles, what was the point of having this system?

A true man has things he will and will not do!

Even without the system, Chen Cang was still a man of principles.

The reason he had left the private hospital in the first place was that he felt it violated his medical conscience!

Taking a deep breath, even if today was the last day he would stand in this hospital, he would make sure to stand tall!

“I’ll administer the anesthetic, just relax…”

…

…

At this moment, outside the treatment room, the scene was boisterous!

The words of the thin man instantly sparked an uproar among the crowd gathered!

Everyone felt sympathy for the two migrant workers who had politely bowed and apologized.

“But look at you, coming in with a department head clearing the way, expecting to be treated first?”

“Is this hospital owned by your family?”

The surrounding crowd also started making a commotion!

“And you’re a department head at the hospital? It’s people like you who ruin the order here!”

“Trash! Parasites!”

“Film him, expose him, put it on the internet, let everyone see how great Second Hospital’s Director Song is!”

“And this Mr. Xiang, let’s expose him too, to see just how powerful he really is!”

…

At this, Song Qiang panicked; in today’s society, the pressure from public opinion was immense.

Song Qiang’s face changed, “Emergency cases need to be prioritized, and for critical and severe cases among many diseases, it’s permissible to provide a fast track. And this child, his wound indeed requires treatment within a certain time frame…”

Unfortunately, no one listened to him!

The boy, far from being nervous, watched the scene with great interest, “Mr. Xiang, aren’t you powerful? And this Director Song, haven’t you heard the saying? A bootlicker never wins in the end!”
