Not long after Fang Ling received the injection, she fell asleep.
The chicken soup that had been spilled all over the floor of the hospital ward was cleaned up by the nurse.
Outside the corridor, Fang Ling's attending doctor scolded Fang Ruiyang mercilessly, "As a son, don't you know that your mother's illness can't be stimulated?"
Fang Ruiyang stammered, "I..."
"I don't care what you two talked about just now. I must warn you that if you don't want her to die any faster, don't say anything she can't accept. Also, we just used an imported injection on your mother. It costs 28,000 yuan each, which will be deducted from the pre - paid account."
The doctor quickly scribbled something on the file in his hand and finally said, "Ms. Fang Ling only has 2,000 yuan left in her account. There's not much balance left. It's only enough for one day's nursing and treatment. Please ask the family members to pre - deposit the subsequent fees as soon as possible. Otherwise, once she has another attack, we won't be able to treat her."
The doctor's words left Fang Ruiyang completely silent. He lay on the window, looking through the glass at Fang Ling sleeping quietly on the hospital bed. His heart was filled with bitterness. He didn't want to say those words to stimulate her and make her suffer. But in order to save her, there were some things he had to do.
Huang Zhenzhen stood beside him. She was worried about both him and his mother. But out of the corner of her eye, she noticed people coming and going behind them. Realizing they couldn't stay here any longer, she tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"A Dong, since your mother is already asleep, let's not disturb her. Let's leave first."
Fang Ruiyang came back to his senses, nodded, and walked out of the hospital hand in hand with Huang Zhenzhen. Before leaving, he took a deep, lingering look at his mother through the glass.
He hoped that the play he put on today could win Zhao Quanjing's trust.
...
There was indeed a camera installed in Fang Ling's hospital ward, hidden in the bunch of fake flowers on the bedside table. Everything that happened in the ward, including the conversation between Fang Ruiyang and Fang Ling, was known to Zhao Quanjing.
Of course, it also included the every move of Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng in the hospital.
Zhao Quanjing clicked his tongue twice and said, "Sure enough, for money and a life of the upper class, people can abandon any principles. Lao Liu, do you think Fang Ruiyang is more trustworthy than Lei Ke?"
The subordinate replied, "Of course Fang Ruiyang is more trustworthy. After all, the loyalty and promises of a gambler are worthless. But Fang Ruiyang is different. You, Lord Zhao, know how important his mother is to him. If what he said to his mother was false, then what could he gain from stimulating his mother other than making this woman die faster? People die for wealth just as birds die for food. Now that he's living a life with money and a beautiful girlfriend, it's normal for him to have such thoughts. Moreover, there's not much money left in his mother's account. In order to keep his mother alive, he will only work hard for you, Lord Zhao."
Zhao Quanjing nodded, "You make some sense. Do you think he will be as filial to me as he is to his mother in the future?"
The subordinate laughed, "If he's not filial to you, Lord Zhao, who else could he be filial to?"
Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door of Zhao Quanjing's office. His most trusted subordinate rushed in from outside, holding a tablet computer. He said to Zhao Quanjing, "Lord Zhao, someone filmed what happened in that hospital and uploaded it to the Internet."
This surprised Zhao Quanjing because this wasn't part of their plan. He said, "Quick, bring it here for me to see."
After a quick look, Zhao Quanjing burst into laughter, "The Pei family is doomed. I didn't expect even God to be helping me! Contact Lei Ke and tell him to add fuel to the fire!"
The video was posted on a relatively influential social forum section in Haicheng, where many netizens liked to chat and brag in their spare time. As soon as the video was posted, it became the hottest post on the forum within half an hour.
People below were vehemently criticizing Pei's First Hospital, saying all kinds of things.
At first, the topic was just about the hospital, but gradually, people began to dig out the Pei family's old scores and vent their dissatisfaction with the Pei family. This included but was not limited to things like not winning the lottery in the mall, the mall always playing songs of people they didn't like, and the mall's advertisements not being updated in time.
This post was very popular in Haicheng, and as a result, the reputation of the Pei family in Haicheng plummeted instantly. The stock fluctuation was even greater than when Pei Weiwei's video was played in the shopping mall for a whole day.
After all, medical care was related to everyone's health and safety, which was a major issue!
Inside the Pei family, Pei Jun was furious when he received this news. He was even more certain that someone was deliberately trying to mess with the Pei family. He ordered Pei Mingyuan to solve this problem immediately.
Pei Mingyuan quickly launched the emergency public relations plan. On one hand, he arranged for people to post clarification posts on the forum. On the other hand, he contacted the forum to ban some malicious rumor - spreading accounts. He also found a patient who had been cured of a rare disease in Pei's hospital to shoot a video to clarify for the Pei family.
But as the saying goes, rumors spread easily while refuting them is extremely difficult. Their actions had little effect. The posts on the forum could never be completely banned, and the clarification posts were ignored. This made Pei Mingyuan feel extremely anxious.
Especially after receiving the news from his subordinate that Yan Yincheng finally went to a newly - built "Renkang Hospital" for treatment, he was so shocked that he broke the cup in his hand.
Wasn't Mr. Yan's action just telling the outside world that the Yan family had lost trust in them?
But when he tried to contact Yan Yincheng, he couldn't get through to his phone.
Right! Zixi! Zixi must be with Mr. Yan! Moreover, he could ask Zixi, the hacker, to solve this problem! He then tried to contact Xu Zixi, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach her either.
Fortunately, Pei Mingyuan was capable enough to be the CEO of the Pei Group. In this crisis, he quickly came up with a solution.
Taking a deep breath, he dialed an internal phone number and coldly said to the other side,
"I order you in the name of the CEO to immediately shut down all hospital outpatient departments for self - inspection. No more patients will be received. Conduct a collective self - inspection from top to bottom. Anyone who has been harsh or difficult to patients, or anyone who has used the hospital's convenience to seek personal gain, will be fired! I'll talk to the chairman, and I'll bear the anger of the shareholders. Hurry up and do it!"
