Chapter 291: Korean cars vs. Chinese cars
Wang Congcong’s mother felt like she was going insane! She had originally been having fun chatting with her husband, but when she saw her son’s hand and how he kept vomiting, she transformed into a mother wolf!
“My Congcong! My Congcong! What happened, just what happened here!?” Her ponytail instantly came apart and became messy hair!
“My son! Give him to me!” Wang Congcong’s father immediately grabbed his son from his father-in-law. He couldn’t be bothered right now to care about his attitude towards his father-in-law! Both parents’ world had immediately collapsed. Congcong’s father instantly became teary-eyed when he saw how his son was going unconscious with a pale face, with wrist still dripping blood.
Tears kept flowing down Wang Congcong’s father’s face, but he didn’t dare to cry out loud. “My baby! My son! Daddy, daddy is here, daddy is here!”
People of the border province were friendly and passionate. Those who really hated others to the point of wanting them to die were rare. Most coworkers would have a good relationship. One coworker used his personal car to directly transport Wang Congcong and his parents.
“Hurry and get on the car!” At such a moment, the coworker only cared about saving the child, even though he was the type who would wipe his car clean instantly whenever it got even slightly muddy!
“Rest assured, he can still be saved.” Another coworker was riding along in the car on the passenger side seat. He was currently talking to the police and telling a dispatcher about the current situation.
The Rural Electricity Bureau managed the electricity supply for the entire agricultural part of Chasu City’s jurisdiction. On average, there would be an employee who was injured by electricity due to an accident or improper handling of equipment once every two to three years. That was why the employees of the Rural Electricity Bureau were already highly familiar with who to contact for emergency treatment.
The coworker was talking to the police rather than trying to call for an ambulance first, because calling for an ambulance was useless. The traffic jams were so bad that it would be impossible for an ambulance to come over quickly. He could only ask the police for help! After asking for help from the traffic police, only then did he call for an ambulance.
Normally, most people would think that the police were really serious and severe while rarely being gentle. This really couldn’t be helped due to the nature of their job. Being too gentle would diminish their authority.
However, in such a situation, the police really were the defenders of ordinary citizens. The dispatcher immediately reported the situation to his higher-ups!
While standing in front of the large screen showing the surveillance of transportation in all of Chasu City, the chief of police announced in a serious tone to everyone, “Attention, everyone. All units, this is headquarters, this is headquarters. A white Hyundai sedan with license plate number FD325 is currently heading west on Rainforest Street towards a hand and foot surgery private hospital. There’s a young child with a cut off hand in the car. I now command that every single intersection along the section of Rainforest Street to the hospital be manned by a police officer who must ensure that the street is clear for this car. Additional officers should be dispatched in order to escort this car all the way to the private hospital! This is to guarantee that the child can reach the hospital as quickly as possible. I repeat...”
“Understood!” x3
Although it was currently rush hour as everyone was getting off of work, all intersections along Rainforest street suddenly became manned by police officers who blew their whistles while limiting all traffic.
“F*ck, what government leader is visiting here today!? These mother******* police, sh*t, they’re not even letting us go outside!?” Some impatient drivers became angry and started cussing!
Right as the car that Wang Congcong was in entered the main part of Chasu City, four police cars had already arrived to escort them. The police didn’t get off their cars, but one police officer drove up, and asked, “Is there an injured child in your car?”
“Yes, that’s right!” the coworker on the passenger side answered excitedly. He hadn’t expected that the police would arrive so swiftly.
“Alright, follow us! Let’s go.” The police officer then spoke into his walkie-talkie, “The car in question has been located. Turn on the sirens and ensure that the road is clear so that we can proceed at maximum speed!”
All four police cars turned on their sirens. Everyone swiftly passed by each intersection. The coworker who was driving the Hyundai with Wang Congcong reflexively looked at his speedometer. He was now driving more than 100 km/h in the city.
Over just a few minutes in the car, Wang Congcong’s mother seemed just like a wilting flower as she had suddenly aged. She tightly held on to the bottle with Wang Congcong’s tiny hand in it, while Wang Congcong’s father’s beard was wet with tears. However, his eyes had a resolute expression as he held on to his son.
Wang Congcong was still twitching from the immense pain. The extreme pain, fear, and massive blood loss had caused him to greatly weaken after vomiting. He constantly drifted in and out of consciousness.
Wang Congcong’s grandparents followed behind the Hyundai in a taxi. The grandparents felt as if they wanted to die right now. Their lips and hands were trembling. They were still covered in blood. They wanted to cry, but had no tears left.
Had they made a mistake? Whose fault was this? Honestly, watching a young child truly was a major responsibility! Such a heavy responsibility!
Batu was helping to run Zhang Fan’s hospital now. He was highly experienced at hospital administration to begin with as he was the former superintendent of Kuake City Hospital. Now that he had also experienced jail for a year and a half, he had become even more skilled at interacting with others. He simply observed everything for his first week after joining Zhang Fan’s hospital.
He observed the doctors, the hospital’s environment, and also things outside the hospital. During Batu’s second week as Zhang Fan’s hospital’s hospital administration director, he found an opportunity with Chen Qifa to pretend to scold the latter to help cement Batu’s authority.
On Batu’s third week, he started wielding the power of money everywhere. He donated two cars to the police station. All he asked for was a placard which said that Zhang Fan’s hospital was a collaborative partner of the police station.
Batu gave gifts to the ambulance dispatch center. He gave gifts to the leaders as well as the dispatchers. He didn’t ask for anything at all in return. This was only to help get others acquainted with him.
As for taxi companies, Batu would pay 200 yuan to any taxi driver who brought a patient to Zhang Fan’s hospital.
Batu personally visited all of the bigger hospitals in the area, getting in contact with their emergency departments and orthopedic surgery departments.
He wasn’t stingy with reporters, either. Batu spent money as if it grew on trees for the time being. Zhang Fan’s hospital had originally been making a profit, but money suddenly became tight. Chen Qifa felt like his heart was breaking as he watched this.
“This isn’t Batu’s personal business. This isn’t Kuake City Hospital! He doesn’t care at all about spending your money. Just look at how generous he’s being with others. He gave two Volkswagon Passats to the police station without even blinking! Look! Look! In just two weeks, he’s already spent all of the profits that the hospital has made! Teacher Zhang, my heart hurts!”
One’s level would determine their ability of foresight. This saying was absolutely correct. If this had been one year ago, Zhang Fan wouldn’t have understood Batu, but Zhang Fan had at least met all sorts of people in the past year. Zhang Fan no longer thought like a recently graduated student!
Zhang Fan now really understood and supported Batu. How would one be able to make gains without being willing to make sacrifices? “Old Chen, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Have our doctors left? Do we have no more surgeries? That’s not the case at all. What does that mean? It means our foundation is still there. Don’t worry and look farther towards the future!”
“However, I still feel really bad! I can’t bear to watch it! Just look, he spent more than 1,000,000 yuan, all of the hospital’s money, in just two weeks!” Although Chen Qifa didn’t like seeing all this money being spent, he hadn’t mentioned his dissatisfaction to Batu. Instead, Chen Qifa came to find Zhang Fan. This was evidence of his maturity!Read more chapter on
“Rest assured, and just watch. This money will be well spent.”
Although Li Liang didn’t understand this, either, he had a father who had been a career government official. “My son, although you’re a shareholder in his hospital, you absolutely must follow your Brother Zhang well, and don’t treat yourself like a stockholder. You’re still his follower, just like before. Follow him in anything that he wants to do. You definitely shouldn’t voice any objections to his way of managing the hospital. Even if you do have objections, you can only say them to your Brother Zhang in private.”
“What if we lose our money?”
“Silly son, this money isn’t anything at all. In your job field, sigh! 300,000 yuan, no, even 3,000,000 yuan probably can’t obtain your Brother Zhang’s friendship. That’s why you’re so lucky! You got to know him when he was just starting out! I also want to see just how far you can go while following your Brother Zhang!”
Batu kept spending money at a really fast pace. Zhang Fan gave his greatest support to Batu’s actions. The end result was that in just a short few months, Zhang Fan’s hospital received a massive increase in the number of patients.
First of all, the taxi drivers majorly supported Zhang Fan’s hospital now. It was common that patients who required emergency treatment wouldn’t know which hospital to go to. The taxi driver would then recommend, “Only this hand and foot surgery hospital will accept a patient with this type of injury. Other hospitals won’t treat such an injury!”
All sorts of indirect advertisements and product placement for Zhang Fan’s hospital also kept appearing on the newspapers, in the radio, and on the local television stations.
The local police station gave Zhang Fan’s hospital a blue placard which read: “Police station’s designated hospital”! Street hooligans thus didn’t dare to come bother Zhang Fan’s hospital.
Chasu City Chinese Medicine Hospital saw that Chasu City Hospital had established a microsurgery department, so they also hurriedly sent doctors to big cities to study microsurgery. Chasu City Chinese Medicine Hospital then established a microsurgery department of their own.
Of course, the doctors that Zhang Fan had trained were far more skilled than Chasu City Chinese Medicine Hospital’s doctors who had only learned microsurgery recently. Moreover, Batu was really skilled at hospital administration. Zhang Fan’s hand and foot surgery hospital dominated the microsurgery market over Chasu City Chinese Medicine Hospital and even Chasu City Hospital as well.
Director Chen Qi of Chasu City Hospital’s orthopedic surgery department #3, the microsurgery department, was quite happy that he didn’t have any hand and foot surgery patients. Since he didn’t have any patients, that meant he could openly steal patients from the other two orthopedic departments! Such was competition at a larger hospital.
Zhang Fan’s hand and foot surgery hospital was now renowned amongst Chasu City’s hospitals!
Zhang Fan finished his work shift and stood in front of his car, hesitating on whether he should drive home or walk home. To be honest, walking home was faster than driving home nowadays.
Just as Zhang Fan was thinking about this, Chen Qifa gave him a call. “Teacher Zhang, a young child who had his hand cut off is on his way to your hospital.”
“Alright, I’ll be there immediately!” Zhang Fan ran out of Chasu City Hospital, only to see that there was a terrible traffic jam. Driving would be impossible. Zhang Fan felt quite a headache at the sight. What could he do? He couldn’t do anything about the traffic jam!
He could only run. That was all that he could do!
“Where are you going?” Just as Zhang Fan began to sprint, Lu Shuyan from gynecology rode by on her motorcycle as she looked at him with curiosity.
“There’s an emergency patient. Hurry and take me to the hand and foot surgery private hospital!” Zhang Fan said while panting as he jumped onto Lu Shuyan’s motorcycle without saying another word.
The motorcycle suddenly sunk a bit under his weight. Lu Shuyan seemed like a cool female rider as she was wearing an orange helmet, form-fitting jeans, and brown woolen boots.
“Sit steady and hold on tight.” Lu Shuyan didn’t say anything else as she immediately sped up and nimbly maneuvered through the traffic jam.
She was going quite quickly. Suddenly, someone ran out in front of her, causing her to hurriedly brake. Zhang Fan had originally been holding on to the tail end of the motorcycle, but he was pushed forward by the inertia. His hands flailed around and grabbed onto Lu Shuyan’s breasts!
What a soft sensation!
“Sit steady!” Lu Shuyan said rather embarrassedly. She then continued at a high speed!
Meanwhile, the Hyundai that Wang Congcong was in flew at a high speed thanks to the four police cars escorting it with sirens blaring. The Hyundai successfully passed through every intersection without having to stop!
“Are government leaders no longer using Chinese cars? They’re riding in Korean cars instead? So lame!” A man who was walking past the traffic policewoman at this intersection intentionally insulted the government.
He wasn’t afraid, because he wasn’t driving in a car or riding a motorcycle! He felt that it was quite fun to make trouble for others in his boredom. The traffic policewoman turned to look at him, but she didn’t say anything.
No matter if he understood or not, no matter what the government was like, the policewoman would carry out her job! This couldn’t be stopped with just a few insults!
Please keep working hard!
