Chapter 72

Xu Chunliang only told Cheng Xiaohong about his upcoming training trip.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaohong's first reaction was to wonder how the Medical Affairs Department would manage without him.

Xu Chunliang told Cheng Xiaohong, "The Earth will keep spinning without anyone. When it was just the two of us in the Medical Affairs Department, we managed to do our work properly. Now with two more experienced employees, there shouldn't be any major issues."

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Cheng Xiaohong had already seen through the new arrivals. No matter who became the director, they would just be a figurehead.

Cheng Xiaohong also thought that Xu Chunliang's departure was due to his dissatisfaction. However, the more dissatisfied he was, the less he should leave. As long as the Organization Department hadn't made a decision, there was still a possibility. Xu Chunliang still had a chance to become the director, especially since the hospital director had publicly stated that he would be in charge of the Medical Affairs Department. Zhao Feiyang's words in Changxing were equivalent to an imperial edict. Giving up would be like giving his competitors a chance.

After much consideration, Cheng Xiaohong gave Xu Chunliang a suggestion: "Xiao Xu, I don't think you should give up. You actually have a chance." Since Huang Lide and the others arrived, Cheng Xiaohong had reverted to calling Xu Chunliang by his old name.

Xu Chunliang smiled, "What am I giving up? I'm going to the training to improve myself." The real reason he was attending the training was to visit Bai Mushan and find out the truth about the oracle bones that his grandfather had donated.

Both Yan Huiyi and Cheng Xiaohong thought he was upset about work issues, underestimating his broad-mindedness. The position of director of the Medical Affairs Department at Changxing Hospital was not something he cared much about.

Of course, Cheng Xiaohong's concerns were not without merit. The smooth operation of the Medical Affairs Department in recent times was not due to Zhou Wenbin's leadership but because of Xu Chunliang's proactive and capable efforts.

The newly arrived Yang Zhenggang was also known for his toughness, but he was fundamentally different from Xu Chunliang, lacking his wisdom.

Indeed, it is only through comparison that one can truly understand a person. Comparing people can lead to death, and comparing goods can lead to discarding.

Xu Chunliang's one-week training trip made Huang Lide the happiest. A week was enough time to solve many problems.

Before Xu Chunliang left, Huang Lide already felt like the director of the Medical Affairs Department. He arranged for Cheng Xiaohong to visit Zhao Xiaohui, who was hospitalized at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

Cheng Xiaohong didn't want to go. She argued that she was just an ordinary staff member and not of high enough rank. If she went, would the Maternal and Child Health Hospital think that Changxing Hospital was not taking the matter seriously?

Cheng Xiaohong suggested that Huang Lide go with her, but Huang Lide didn't agree, thinking that a female colleague would be more suitable for such a visit.

In the end, Xu Chunliang offered to go with her. The two of them brought nutritional supplements and flowers to visit the well-known Jiangzhou TV host, Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui had undergone a laparoscopic surgery four days ago and was recovering well. She was moving around in her room when she heard that someone from Changxing Hospital was visiting, so she quickly climbed back into bed.

She was in a VIP ward, and when Xu Chunliang and Cheng Xiaohong arrived, the person accompanying her had just gone out to buy food.

Xu Chunliang put down the nutritional supplements, and Cheng Xiaohong handed the flowers to Zhao Xiaohui, introducing herself and complimenting Zhao Xiaohui on her beauty, saying she looked even better in person.

Zhao Xiaohui didn't seem to want the flowers. Her expression was stern, and her clear eyes coldly stared at them, making Cheng Xiaohong feel awkward. She placed the flowers on the bedside table.

Zhao Xiaohui said, "Take them away. I don't need your insincere慰问."

Cheng Xiaohong replied, "We are here to sincerely visit you."

"Sincerely? Why didn't Yu Mo come? After what happened, shouldn't she apologize to me in person?"

Cheng Xiaohong didn't know how to respond. The host was very sharp, and they had a strong case.

Xu Chunliang said, "She should. Director Yu's negligence led to your ectopic pregnancy, and she should take responsibility for it."

Zhao Xiaohui was taken aback. Did he mean something else? Her ectopic pregnancy wasn't caused by Yu Mo, and Yu Mo didn't have the ability to cause it.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't overthink it. The most important thing now is to focus on your recovery. Rest assured, we will not shirk our responsibilities."

Xu Chunliang's tone was different from Cheng Xiaohong's. Cheng Xiaohong sounded apologetic and even a bit fearful, but Xu Chunliang spoke without any hint of guilt, as if he had nothing to apologize for.

Zhao Xiaohui said, "Don't just talk. I've already made my demands. What is your response?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Miss Zhao, you work for a government agency. You should know that our organization has procedures. You've given us three days to resolve this. I promise that we will give you a clear response in three days." By then, he would already be in Nangang, and whatever happened here would be none of his concern.

Zhao Xiaohui nodded. "Take your things away. I don't need your consolation."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohui's fiancé, Chen Jianxin, returned with her meal. He moved the flowers aside and placed the food on the bedside table, his expression cold.

Xu Chunliang observed the man who was the root cause of Zhao Xiaohui's ectopic pregnancy. Why didn't she sue him?

Zhao Xiaohui asked Chen Jianxin to ask them to leave, and he made a gesture to show them out.

Xu Chunliang and Cheng Xiaohong looked at each other. They had completed their task and saw no reason to stay. As they left, Chen Jianxin gently closed the door.

Xu Chunliang turned to look at the door and asked Cheng Xiaohong, "Has her fiancé come to negotiate with the hospital?"

Cheng Xiaohong shook her head. "Her two brothers came."

"Doesn't Chen Jianxin seem unhappy?"

"Of course. His girlfriend has an ectopic pregnancy. How could he be happy?"

Xu Chunliang's focus was not on this. With his fiancée having an ectopic pregnancy, they were now targeting Changxing Hospital. Normally, family members would be very agitated when representatives from the hospital came to visit, but Chen Jianxin remained calm throughout and didn't treat them roughly. Perhaps it could be explained by his personal修养, but Xu Chunliang noticed that there was little eye contact between Chen Jianxin and Zhao Xiaohui, and even when they did, there was no affection.

Xu Chunliang's intuition told him that there was a problem with this couple, and Chen Jianxin didn't even bother to hide it. Recalling the words of Zhao Feiyang when they first met, he realized that to solve a problem, one must first understand the patient's background and weaknesses. Handling medical disputes often requires more than just focusing on the medical issues themselves.

The two of them then went to the attending physician to learn about Zhao Xiaohui's surgery and postoperative recovery. They expected that, as medical professionals, the doctor would not speak ill of them, but upon learning their identities, the doctor became cautious and refused to provide any information, directing them to the Medical Affairs Department.

Upon learning that Xu Chunliang would be training in Nangang for a week, Xu Changshan felt a bit reluctant but understood that his grandson was growing up and needed to be independent. The boy had made significant progress since starting work and was capable of handling the complexities of society.

Seeing his grandson grow day by day, Xu Changshan felt both proud and a bit sad. Xu Chunliang's maturity meant he relied less on him, and the old man even felt useless.

Growth and aging are stages everyone must go through, and Xu Changshan had long understood this. But when it happened to him, he still felt very sad.

Xu Chunliang noticed his grandfather's reluctance and said with a smile, "If you're worried, why don't you come with me to Nangang for a few days?"

"You have important work to do. What would I do there? Besides, what about Huichun Hall?"

Strangely, since the breast enhancement clinic opened next door, business at Huichun Hall had been declining. If it were someone else, they might be anxious about the sharp drop in income, but Xu Changshan felt a sense of relief. He was getting old, and his declining physical and mental strength meant he could no longer handle the workload he used to. He was happy to enjoy his current leisure. His only hope now was for his grandson to complete his studies and take over Huichun Hall, continuing the family's medical legacy, thus fulfilling his duty to the ancestors.

Seeing how well Xu Chunliang was handling his work, the old man felt reassured. He believed that even without Huichun Hall, his grandson could live independently.

Before leaving, Xu Chunliang asked his grandfather to write a letter to Bai Mushan, as a direct visit might be too abrupt.
