At almost the same time Shen Qiang was astonished, Director Wang, with a face full of embarrassment, said in surprise, "That's the hospital's rule..."

"Shut up!" the dean who was sitting behind the desk shouted harshly, then chuckled and said, "Chief Hu, calm down, don't stoop to his level."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man sitting on the couch with his legs crossed said coldly, "This isn't a matter of stooping or not stooping to someone's level, but a matter of law and regulations. There are too many issues in your oncology department, and I think it's necessary to shut it down for rectification."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang turned pale, and the dean's face also soured.

Just as the atmosphere in the office became tense and awkward, the little girl in a school uniform sitting on the couch suddenly stood up excitedly, looking at Shen Qiang in front of the office door, and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother! Uncle, look, it's this brother!"

Instantly, everyone's gaze in the office focused on Shen Qiang.

The middle-aged man, who had been sitting with his legs crossed and eyes full of pride, immediately stood up, advanced towards Shen Qiang in three quick steps, and extended both hands, saying, "Shen Qiang, it really is you. Thank you for what you did for my brother."

Shen Qiang shook hands with the middle-aged man, somewhat bewildered.

Seeing Shen Qiang a bit stunned, the middle-aged man chuckled and pulled Shen Qiang to sit down by the couch, saying, "My name is Hu Yongxin, this young girl is my niece, her dad is my older brother. He has no other hobbies but to drink."

"And whenever he finishes drinking, he starts cursing, so I usually don't keep in touch with him. Now, my brother has been drinking so much he developed cirrhosis, and today he was rushed to your hospital for emergency treatment. Xiaoxiao, being so young, was overwhelmed and didn't call me."

"Her mother was worried and called me just before boarding a plane, and I just arrived to see the kid crying."

Giving Director Wang a cold glance, the middle-aged man said, "That's why I asked Dean Su to call you, just to personally express my gratitude. If it weren't for you today, I might have lost my only brother."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It was nothing, don't mention it."

Hu Yongxin smiled, gripping Shen Qiang's hand tightly and said, "It's rare, twenty thousand yuan isn't a lot, but it's not a small sum either. I must admit, even I, in such a situation, would probably have just laughed it off."

"But you are different. I don't want to say how compassionate or noble you are, because that would be too superficial. But based on your generosity alone, I, Hu Yongxin, would like to be friends with you."

Saying this, Hu Yongxin turned his head, took out his wallet, and from inside, he pulled out two bundles of crisp new banknotes, placed them in Shen Qiang's hands, and said, "I won't give you any interest or so-called rewards, because I feel that would insult your generosity."

Placing a business card on top of the cash, Hu Yongxin said, "This is my business card. If one day you need my help, just call me. As long as it's within my power, I absolutely will not refuse."

Shen Qiang smiled and nodded, but as his gaze swept over the business card, he was immediately stunned.

The business card was plain and simple.

Director of Health Legal Affairs and Supervision, Health Bureau, Hu Yongxin.

But behind the simple text lay immense power!

Because the Department of Health Legal Affairs and Supervision is responsible for the administrative reconsideration of health matters and supervising the enforcement of health laws.

It not only oversees the management and prevention of communicable diseases, endemic diseases, hospital disinfection, maternal and child health care, occupational disease prevention, and food, occupation, environment, radiation, and school health, but also coordinates the technical appraisal of medical disputes and evidence collection!

"That assistant, don't just stand there, get Shen Qiang a glass of water." Almost at the same time Shen Qiang was stunned, Hu Yongxin calmly instructed the dean's attractive female assistant.

She hesitated for a moment, then the dean immediately said, "Make some tea."

The attractive female assistant promptly went to make tea.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qiang couldn't help but sigh. What does it mean to overbearingly infringe on others? Hu Yongxin was doing exactly that now.

Reprimanding the director of the oncology department in the director's office, demanding his resignation, taking the director's female assistant as his follower—everything seemed as if it were only natural. Yet, both the director and Wang, the head of the department, dared not refuse or talk back.

Why?

Because the Hu Yongxin standing before them, though only a section chief, could, if he truly resolved to do so, issue a notice and stamp it with the official seal to shut down and rectify Bikang Hospital's oncology department.

Bikang's oncology department would have to close immediately.

Watching Shen Qiang receive tea from the director's assistant, Hu Yongxin turned his face, looking disdainfully at Director Wang. "I heard that not only do you refuse to implement the rule that demands full resuscitation in the emergency room, but you also mock those kind-hearted people who offer help to the patient's family members?"

Director Wang quickly said, "Section Chief Hu, you misunderstand, that's not the case."

At this point, the previously silent young girl became anxious and angrily said, "How can you say that? I saw it myself—you were mocking Brother Shen Qiang for helping me."

Director Wang was embarrassed.

Hu Yongxin laughed, "You should resign now." Turning his head with a smile to the director, he smiled and said, "This Bikang is a private hospital, openly leading the violation of rules. It's not okay if the oncology department isn't shut down for rectification."

The director said very awkwardly, "Section Chief Hu, this is just a misunderstanding."

Hu Yongxin took a sip of tea and said, "The higher authorities have repeatedly decreed that no hospital can refuse emergency treatment to patients for any reason. By doing this, you are clearly opposing the Ministry of Health, which will foster bad practices in the medical industry in this city."

Hearing these words, the beautiful assistant became anxious. "Section Chief Hu, that wasn't an urgent case—it was ordinary treatment, and all hospitals have a policy of pay first, treat later."

Hu Yongxin, sitting on the sofa, took a form from the man beside him and smiled. "My brother has gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance—is this not a resuscitation case?"

Everyone was silent.

At this moment, the director awkwardly said, "Section Chief Hu, we have been old friends for many years now. The hospital indeed has some management flaws, and I will definitely have them corrected. But as for shutting it down, please let's not."

Hu Yongxin spoke indifferently. "This is the rule. Old Su, you're putting me in a tough spot like this. How about you let this fat-headed, confused director resign first, and then we can talk."

Hearing this, the director said helplessly, "Alright, Old Wang."

As soon as the director addressed him, Director Wang's face instantly turned pale.

Just then, the beautiful assistant standing by intervened anxiously, "Shen Qiang, the newly hired oncology expert hasn't arrived yet. Director Wang cannot resign now. Since you and Section Chief Hu got along so well, please speak on his behalf."

Hearing this, Hu Yongxin looked surprised at the director's beautiful assistant, then saw Shen Qiang, who was startled as he was drinking tea.

Then Hu Yongxin laughed, his eyes playfully fixed on her as he said, "Okay, very clever. You can tell that I wouldn't refuse a request from Shen Qiang. You are also very good looking."

"So you don't have to trouble Shen Qiang any further."

"If you agree to go on a date with Shen Qiang within the next half month, then I will act as if nothing happened."

Shen Qiang was astonished.

Almost at the same moment, the attractive assistant with a shapely figure said gravely, "Okay! I will definitely go on a date with him."
