Chapter 151: Exchanging Terms
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The atmosphere in the corridor froze for a moment.
Zhao Gang and his wife looked at each other and then at Director Liu. Their dissatisfaction was obvious.
Although the Zhao family was a big family and was comparable to the Luo family, they would have to make a living in Jiang City in the future. It was not beneficial for them to form a feud between them.
Therefore, Zhao Gang’s anger was directed at Director Liu.
This was a hospital. For a young man in his early twenties to say such words, it was obvious that Director Liu had not done his job well in the hospital.
“Um… how about…”
Director Liu looked at this and that. After confirming that he could not afford to offend any of them, sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Don’t worry. Since I’ve asked, I have some confidence. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be self-defeating?”
Luo Chen sensed Director Liu’s dilemma and immediately spoke.
His gaze had always been steady, and his attitude was calm. It was as if as long as he said something, he would definitely be able to do it.
“I appreciate Young Master Luo’s kindness, but the person in the ward is my father-in-law. You can imagine how important he is to me. I can’t risk his life.”
Zhao Gang said neither arrogantly nor humbly, trying his best to suppress his true thoughts.
The two sides were in a stalemate again.
“Alright, I came to the hospital to visit someone. I just happened to bump into you. If you don’t need my help, I’ll leave.”
The thought of taking this opportunity to pull Zhao Jiang into the Chamber of Commerce had mostly dissipated. Luo Chen waved his hand in boredom and turned to leave.
“Um… Mr. Luo, please wait a moment. Let me say a few words.”
Director Liu finally found a chance to interrupt and hurriedly said.
Then, he carefully grabbed Zhao Gang’s sleeve and gestured for him to follow him.
When Zhao Gang saw the two of them echoing each other, he felt that something was wrong.
Although he was anxious about his father-in-law’s health, the doctors had not come after all. Hence, it was useless to be anxious.
Zhao Gang was a little curious. Although he was unwilling, his good manners prevented him from scolding Director Liu in front of others. Instead, he followed him to the corner.
Luo Chen was not interested in what the two of them were talking about at all. However, from the looks of it, there was a high chance that Director Liu could convince Zhao Gang.
If he could really make Zhao Gang’s father-in-law recover, then the matter of Zhao Real Estate entering the Chamber of Commerce should be a done deal.
With that thought in mind, Luo Chen sat on a chair at the side.
The woman looked Luo Chen up and down in confusion.
Then, she nodded as a form of greeting and quickly walked into the ward.
Through the glass on the door, he could clearly see her sitting on the accompanying bed after entering the ward. Her shoulders were moving slightly.
She must have been holding it in for a long time and couldn’t control her emotions anymore.
It had to be said that this family’s relationship was really good. Zhao Gang’s anxiety and concern just now were real.
After a while, Zhao Gang walked over from the corner with Director Liu following behind him.
“Is what he said true?”
Zhao Gang stood in front of Luo Chen and spoke without rhyme or reason.
However, Luo Chen understood.
“Of course it’s true. By now, our actress should have recovered by a lot. If you don’t believe me, you can go over and take a look.”
Luo Chen nodded nonchalantly, as if there was nothing to be surprised about.
“At that time, we were also shocked. After all, that patient’s condition was very bad. Time is life. If the resuscitation failed and time was delayed, I’m afraid she won’t be able to be revived.
In the end, it only took less than half an hour. When our medical staff returned, they realized that the patient had recovered almost completely. All the examination data showed that her condition was normal.”
Director Liu praised Luo Chen from the side.
Just now, Wang Meng’s test results were out. One of them was sent directly to Director Liu’s phone.
That was why he was so confident in Luo Chen.
“But I heard that the patient accidentally took something poisonous. My father-in-law’s situation…”
Before Zhao Gang could finish his sentence, he met Luo Chen’s meaningful gaze.
The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he gradually frowned.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Zhao Gang could roughly guess what was going on with Luo Chen’s gaze.
‘Maybe…’
Did that mean that his father-in-law had become like this because he had been poisoned unknowingly?
Following this train of thought, everything made sense.
It was not that Zhao Gang had not made such a guess in the past six months, but it was just that such a thought was too unbelievable, so he did not pursue it further.
Now that he thought about it, he was full of doubts!
“Alright, can I see the patient now?”
“Old Master was fine for the first half of the year. It’s very likely because the poison was in the incubation period. Now that it’s become an emergency, if we don’t deal with it in time, I’m afraid there will really be a huge problem.”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Chen’s words interrupted Zhao Gang’s thoughts.
“Alright, alright, alright. Try it first. Whether it works or not, I won’t pester you endlessly.
However, I can promise you that if you can really cure my father-in-law, even if there are some side effects, I can reconsider joining the Chamber of Commerce.”
Zhao Gang calmly offered to exchange terms.
There was no free lunch in the world. Since he had accepted Luo Chen’s help, he would have to pay the corresponding price.
Zhao Gang actually knew that the reason why Luo Chen wanted to help so enthusiastically was to get Zhao Real Estate to join the Chamber of Commerce.
As an old family business, Zhao Real Estate had been passed down for three generations. In Zhao Gang’s hands, its development momentum had become even greater.
However, he had never thought of participating in the Chamber of Commerce. After all, if everyone worked together to do business, it would definitely be more beneficial to those small and medium-sized enterprises.
Big companies like theirs, which had relatively stable operations and customer channels, would not be able to enjoy huge benefits from participating.
Therefore, Zhao Gang had always been uninterested in participating in the Chamber of Commerce.
However, since he owed Luo Chen such a huge favor, he naturally had to return it.
“It’s a deal.”
Luo Chen agreed readily. Then, he instructed Director Liu to go to Wang Meng’s ward to get the silver needle bag that was resting on the bedside table.
Director Liu agreed and quickly returned with the silver needle bag.
After packing his things, Luo Chen slowly pushed open the door of the ward.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened!
The old man who was lying quietly on the bed with weak breathing suddenly began to twitch violently the moment Luo Chen entered the room!
