From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Gao Xinhua thought that such a small matter, the dental department would surely give him face, but he never expected Fang Jian Country to push the matter out.

Fang Jian Country noticed Gao Xinhua’s displeasure and quickly explained: "Secretary Gao, please don’t be mad at me. I’m currently only responsible for operations; I don’t handle or dare to touch billing and management. In the past, this wouldn’t have been a big deal, but you should have given me a heads up before the patient came. I would have surely arranged it properly for you. Now that the payment has been made, you’re asking me to get money from He Yanjun? I really don’t have the face to do that."

Gao Xinhua said, "Director Fang! So it’s my fault for not giving you a heads-up?"

Fang Jian Country said: "That’s not what I mean. What I’m saying is that I really don’t have that much power now."

Gao Xinhua said: "Alright then, let me ask you, someone comes for a cleaning, why did you guys pull out three of their teeth?"

Fang Jian Country said: "Secretary Gao, pulling teeth would definitely have been agreed upon by the patient. If they didn’t agree, we can’t possibly hold her down in the chair and yank her teeth out, wouldn’t you say?"

Gao Xinhua said: "Fang Jian Country, what you’re saying is meaningless. Are you not aware of the current reputation of the dental department? For any patient that comes by, you’re promoting dental implants, insisting on yanking teeth that could be preserved, focusing solely on economic benefits. Can you not consider the patients’ feelings?"

Fang Jian Country sighed and said: "Secretary Gao, do you have a bias against our dental department?"

Gao Xinhua said: "I don’t want to waste words with you. Can you handle this matter?"

Fang Jian Country said: "I really can’t handle it."

Gao Xinhua nodded and waved Fang Jian Country away, then found the contractor He Yanjun’s phone number and called him.

He Yanjun, the current contractor of the dental center, was quite surprised to receive a call from Gao Xinhua. He hadn’t had much interaction with Gao Xinhua, but he was still very polite to Changxing’s secretary: "Secretary Gao, what can I do for you?"

Gao Xinhua repeated the matter, and after listening, He Yanjun said to Gao Xinhua: "Secretary Gao, it’s not impossible to refund, but I’m just responsible for managing the dental center. I need to seek the consent of other shareholders regarding the refund. Why don’t you give me a few days to consult with them?"

Gao Xinhua immediately sensed it was an excuse and hung up in anger.

It was at this moment that Gao Xinhua realized his role as a secretary was ineffectual, especially with these contractors who didn’t consider him significant.

Gao Xinhua hadn’t wanted to bother Zhao Feiyang so early, but now it seemed impossible not to involve him. Just as he was preparing to seek an explanation from Zhao Feiyang, Xu Chunliang came over to deliver an invoice.

As soon as Xu Chunliang entered the room, he said, "That’s pretty ruthless, huh? Someone came for a cleaning and got three teeth pulled instead. They charged over a thousand per tooth, claiming it was completely impacted, treating all of them as wisdom teeth."

Seeing Gao Xinhua’s sour expression, he said, "Yo, I came at a bad time. Who’s pissed you off? I’ll deal with them!"

Gao Xinhua said, "Those bastards in the dental department. I mentioned the refund issue and they kept stalling me. I’m about to call Zhao Feiyang and have him see what kind of people he’s brought in."

Xu Chunliang said, "Calm down, don’t call!"

Gao Xinhua looked at Xu Chunliang, puzzled. He’s advising calm, the sun must be rising from the west?

Xu Chunliang said, "Calling will only have Dean Zhao step in to resolve it, making you look like you don’t have any standing."

Face can be deadly; after Xu Chunliang’s words, Gao Xinhua was infuriated, feeling more disregarded as secretary. Who is He Yanjun to be so dismissive? If not for Changxing giving them a meal, now that they’re making money, their wings have hardened? Do they not understand who the real master of Changxing is?

Xu Chunliang said, "Leave this to me, I promise to handle it properly."

Gao Xinhua glared at him, "What do you mean? Do you think I can’t handle this?" Even a Buddha can get angry, and Gao Xinhua was thoroughly enraged, making a call to the discipline inspection: "Someone has complained about irregular charges in the dental department. Investigate this immediately."

The result of Secretary Gao’s anger was quite severe indeed; the style office and the infection department made appearances alternately, along with even the fire safety and electrician teams, under the guise of checking safety.

Not long after returning, Director Fang realized that he had seriously offended Gao Xinhua this time.

Seeing the situation was grim, Fang Jian Country quickly slipped back to the ward and immediately called He Yanjun.

He Yanjun truly didn’t regard Secretary Gao Xinhua. Changxing is now a for-profit hospital, and the secretary is just a figurehead.

When he originally contracted the dental department, it wasn’t through Gao Xinhua. There was a truth in what he didn’t tell Gao Xinhua; he was just a minor shareholder. The real major shareholder is Pei Yu, and behind her is Pei Lin.

Pei Yu’s recently contracted aesthetic medicine center in Changxing Hospital had just gotten on track. Not long ago, there were rumors that Huayuan Group was going to reclaim several major centers. Later, Pei Lin reassured her, saying that even if they were reclaimed, it would just be a formality.

Hearing that the dental department was being targeted by Gao Xinhua, Pei Yu immediately contacted Pei Lin, who was in Europe.

In the past few days, Pei Lin and Zhao Feiyang had been in a cold war. In the past, she would have sought out Zhao Feiyang immediately, but since Zhao Feiyang’s anger hadn’t subsided, she didn’t dare to tell him this matter and had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Gao Xinhua.

On the pretext of pleading for He Yanjun, Pei Lin’s involvement with this matter could only cause more concerns for Zhao Feiyang. If this continues, Changxing might turn into their family store. Pei Lin wouldn’t stick out for He Yanjun without a vested interest.

Gao Xinhua was straightforward with her, and upon hearing that it concerned Lu Ming’s mother-in-law, Pei Lin realized that He Yanjun had indeed caused trouble.

Gao Xinhua said meaningfully, "Director Lu considered our personal relationship and didn’t blow up the issue. If Director Lu made the overcharging public, not only the dental center but the entire Changxing’s reputation would be ruined."

Pei Lin said, "Secretary Gao, I have known Old He for many years and had no idea they were operating like this in the dental center. I’ll definitely have a good talk with him. Whatever you request, I’ll convey."

Facing Zhao Feiyang, Gao Xinhua couldn’t go too far, so he stated his demands: first, the reimbursement of all previous expenses, and second, the issue of follow-up treatment.

Pei Lin quickly promised to coordinate and assured there would be no problems.

Not long after the call ended, He Yanjun and Fang Jian Country came together, both looking downcast, ready to admit their mistakes voluntarily.

Gao Xinhua looked at them, thinking to himself that this bunch never learns unless they’re hit.

Fang Jian Country hadn’t finished speaking: "Secretary Gao..."

Gao Xinhua pointed outside and said, "You go out first, I’ll have a word with Boss He."

Fang Jian Country left Gao Xinhua’s office with a red face, looking truly guilty for offending him, his head hanging low.

He Yanjun stood there, and Gao Xinhua didn’t offer him a seat, just observed him coldly. He Yanjun forced a stiff smile: "Secretary Gao, today’s situation was a misunderstanding..."

Gao Xinhua said, "Don’t tell me that. I sent the departments there. Our Changxing dental department didn’t have so many issues. Since you came on board, problems have emerged endlessly. Do you still want this job?"

"Yes, yes!" He Yanjun was sweating profusely, never expecting a secretary could interfere with their affairs. Pei Lin had just scolded him on the phone, telling him to apologize to Gao Xinhua quickly.

Gao Xinhua said, "If you want to keep it, then do a good job and stop tarnishing Changxing Hospital’s reputation. A lady came to clean her teeth, how did she get persuaded into extracting three teeth?"

"Secretary Gao, here’s what happened..."

Gao Xinhua waved his hand impatiently: "Don’t explain, this is your receipt, take a look yourself."

He Yanjun picked up the receipt: "Secretary Gao, I’ll refund it immediately."

Gao Xinhua said, "Refund and that’s it? But you did pull out three of her teeth!"

He Yanjun said, "The teeth needed to be pulled. Director Fang’s skills are unquestionable. How about this—we’ll replace them with three ceramic teeth for free, using the best materials."

Gao Xinhua said, "You guys handle it yourselves. As long as the patient has no complaints, I don’t care about these matters."

The dental center was bustling, patients coming in nonstop, and the line in the afternoon started forming early. Initially, the staff at the dental center were quite pleased, but soon realized something was off—more than half of these patients had no real issues.

But since the dental center’s contracting, they tended to exaggerate minor issues and diagnose non-existent ones—in truth, everyone’s teeth have some flaws.

Ordinary people lack understanding of dental issues like periodontitis, pulpitis, and dental calculus. They have to rely on what’s being told.

An observant nurse spotted someone secretly taking photos and immediately screamed to stop them: "What are you doing?"

"I’ll do whatever the hell I want, who cares what you think?"

"Why are you swearing?"

"You’ll scam people but I can’t curse?"

Xu Chunliang was visiting Ding Si’s company for the first time, and Ding Si took him on a tour inside and out.

Xu Chunliang said, "Not bad, the company isn’t small."

Ding Si said, "It’s all thanks to friends’ support, otherwise how could I have gotten this far?"

Xu Chunliang asked, "Have you found out about He Yanjun’s background?"

Ding Si laughed, "Is there a need to investigate? Everyone knows it’s Pei Yu behind him. This guy is just a minor shareholder. I heard Zhao Feiyang’s wife is pretty greedy; she’s taken up almost all of the profitable departments at the hospital."

Xu Chunliang said, "Old Zhao will end up being ruined by her eventually."

Ding Si invited him into the office, and the female assistant came in to brew a pot of good tea. Xu Chunliang detected a hint of something between their exchanged glances.

Ding Si then asked the assistant to leave and personally poured tea for Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang said, "I originally wanted to get rid of Zhou Yisheng, and now there’s another He Yanjun."

Ding Si said, "They’re all small players. Leave them to me. I’ll make sure they can’t last even halfway through the month."

Xu Chunliang laughed heartily: "Brother Si, we can’t do anything illegal or immoral."

Ding Si laughed, "I’ve got a family to think about now; I won’t act recklessly. I’ll just make sure they can’t run their business well. Director Xu, I despise those unscrupulous businessmen the most, taking money from patients like it’s nothing!"
