Chapter 27

Zhou Wenbin was really having a headache. Things were already complicated enough, and now this incident had happened. The bracelet had fallen off during the struggle between the two women, which was initiated by Tong Meili's aggressive behavior, but Cai Rongjuan was not entirely blameless either.

Cai Rongjuan was stunned for a moment, then she walked away without looking back, leaving the mess for the medical affairs office to deal with.

Tong Meili was not pleased at all. She sat on the ground, rolling around and shouting that she had been beaten by people from Changxing Hospital. She lay on the ground and called her husband, Shi Zhiwei. Upon hearing this, he immediately brought over more than ten workers to Changxing Hospital.

Security Chief Yu Xiangdong thought everything was settled, but when he heard that the incident had escalated and was even bigger this time, he quickly led the security guards to the medical affairs office and managed to stop Shi Zhiwei and his group.

"Let's talk about the issue. Bringing so many people here is considered a public disturbance," Yu Xiangdong explained the severity of the situation to Shi Zhiwei, who then stopped his workers from coming in.

Tong Meili lay in the mediation room, crying incessantly, while Cheng Xiaohong tried to console her.

Zhou Wenbin and Xu Chunliang returned to the medical affairs office. They didn't dare to get too close to this woman, fearing that she might falsely accuse them of harassment.

Zhou Wenbin placed high hopes on Xu Chunliang: "Xiao Xu, you're full of ideas. Think of a solution."

Xu Chunliang replied, "Isn't the medical aesthetics center contracted out? In any case, the contractor will bear the cost, and it has little to do with Changxing Hospital."

"How can it be that simple? It's not just a contract; it's a partnership. Even if it's a contract, the public won't care about the details. They will blame Changxing Hospital, ultimately damaging our reputation."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "I think this is a case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is. Cai Rongjuan doesn't take it seriously, so why should we? In the end, they won't be grateful, and we'll just get blamed."

Zhou Wenbin sighed: "Tan Guoliang and his wife are a match made in heaven. But to be honest, there was nothing wrong with Tong Meili's surgery. I think she's just causing trouble on purpose."

"In that case, it's even easier to handle. Since we have the right on our side, let her make a fuss. I don't believe the court will side with her."

Zhou Wenbin said, "What we're worried about is not the court but public opinion. Public opinion is already against our industry. Whenever something happens, people assume it's our fault, regardless of the truth. You've been in the medical affairs office for some time; you should understand this."

At this moment, Shi Zhiwei came in, shouting, "Who's in charge here?"

Zhou Wenbin stood up and said, "I am!"

Shi Zhiwei clenched his fists and walked towards him. Seeing his aggressive demeanor, Zhou Wenbin couldn't help but feel afraid: "You... What do you want to do?"

Shi Zhiwei, though not well-educated, knew better than to start a fight in someone else's workplace: "Can you take responsibility? How do you compensate for my wife's disfigurement? What about the assault on my wife? Do you know how much that bracelet is worth?"

Zhou Wenbin said, "Sir, please calm down. You don't know the full story. We have surveillance footage."

Shi Zhiwei replied, "Surveillance footage can be faked. I've seen it all. You only keep what's in your favor and delete the rest. Who are you trying to fool?"

"Sir, that's not true. Changxing Hospital would never do such a thing."

"Has Changxing Hospital ever done anything decent? Among the major hospitals in Dongzhou City, you have the worst reputation."

Xu Chunliang said, "If Changxing Hospital has the worst reputation, why did your wife come here for surgery? Aren't you pushing her into the fire?"

Shi Zhiwei only noticed Xu Chunliang now and glared at him: "What the hell are you talking about?"

"I always talk like this. Watch your mouth. This is Changxing Hospital. If you dare to be disrespectful, I'll beat you up!"

Shi Zhiwei, who usually bullied others, was a contractor and was used to being aggressive. He pointed at Xu Chunliang: "Do you know who I am? If you anger me, I'll make you leave the hospital in no time."

Xu Chunliang stood up. Zhou Wenbin knew this guy wasn't easy to deal with. Although he also disliked people like Shi Zhiwei, fighting in the medical affairs office was not a good idea. The hospital wouldn't care about the reasons and would definitely blame their own people first.

Zhou Wenbin stopped Xu Chunliang and advised him not to be impulsive.

Shi Zhiwei, still furious, said, "Get out of my way. You're just a punk. I'll teach you a lesson today."

Xu Chunliang coldly looked at Shi Zhiwei. This guy was asking for it. Zhou Wenbin, who was holding him back, felt a chill, wondering why the air conditioning was so effective today.

Security Chief Yu Xiangdong arrived with several security guards and helped separate Shi Zhiwei and Xu Chunliang.

Shi Zhiwei, still not backing down, said, "If I ever see you outside, I'll beat you up until you're crawling on the ground. If I don't, I'll change my name."

"Let's make a deal. If you don't do it, you're a bastard."

Shi Zhiwei tried to kick Xu Chunliang but was held back by Yu Xiangdong: "Calm down, calm down. Don't take it out on a young guy."

People pulled and persuaded, eventually taking Shi Zhiwei out.

Xu Chunliang laughed as if nothing had happened. Zhou Wenbin said, "You still have the nerve to laugh. Our job is to mediate and resolve conflicts, not to escalate them."

"I hate people who think they're the best just because they have a bit of money."

Zhou Wenbin said, "Don't offend such people. You're young, and you'll understand later. Acting on impulse is unnecessary. If we always argue about right and wrong, we won't be able to do our job."

He comforted Xu Chunliang and went out to negotiate with Shi Zhiwei and his wife.

Since the conflict was not resolved, Security Chief Yu Xiangdong did not leave immediately. He sat next to Zhou Wenbin's desk and warned Xu Chunliang, "Shi Zhiwei is in the sand and gravel business. He has money and a wide network of connections."

Xu Chunliang said, "Even the most powerful people get sick. Heaven's will can be forgiven, but self-inflicted misfortune cannot. He's bound to have problems soon."

Yu Xiangdong chuckled. He had some complaints about Xu Chunliang, but today he found the guy interesting. Was that a curse? If curses worked, what would they need the security department for?

The commotion in the medical affairs office had already spread throughout the administrative building, but the hospital's administrative departments had an unwritten rule: mind your own business and don't meddle in others' affairs. No matter how intense the conflict outside, they wouldn't get involved.

Besides, the medical affairs office had incidents almost every day, and they were used to it.
