Chapter 602: A Punch Hits
Qian Yaoguang was furious, but Xu Xiangbei patted Qian Yaoguang on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down and not lose his mind.
Qian Yaoguang trusted Xu Xiangbei, held back his anger, and stepped back.
Xu Xiangbei smiled at the young doctor and said, "Who is Director Wang? Could you please ask Director Wang to come over."
The young doctor made a phone call, and after a while, Director Wang from surgery arrived.
Director Wang was a tall, bespectacled middle-aged doctor, with his head held high and chest out, wearing an indifferent expression.
Seeing Director Wang’s arrogant demeanor, Xu Xiangbei knew entering the ICU today was probably impossible.
Just as he expected, Director Wang coolly glanced at Xu Xiangbei’s consultant ID with a look of disdain, and bluntly refused, "You’re a traditional medicine consultant, coming here to see what patient? You can’t go in."
Xu Xiangbei could only call Dean Zhang, but unexpectedly found his phone was off, then he called Zhang Xuesong.
In less than two minutes, Zhang Xuesong hurried over. Seeing Xu Xiangbei, he politely shook hands with him, "Advisor Xu, you’re back. We haven’t seen each other since Earth Sea Hospital. What happened?"
Xu Xiangbei explained the situation to Zhang Xuesong, who gave a wry smile, "What bad timing, my uncle is in Yanjing attending a medical conference and must have turned off his phone."
"Then could you speak to that Director Wang and let me in to treat Qian Yaoguang’s father?"
Zhang Xuesong looked troubled. Director Wang, head of surgery, had always been hostile to traditional medicine, even sometimes not showing face to Dean Zhang.
For Xu Xiangbei’s sake, Zhang Xuesong still put on a smile for Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, hello. Our Advisor Xu is very skilled in medicine. Letting him in to have a look wouldn’t hurt."
Director Wang adopted an official tone, "Sorry, Director Zhang, this isn’t my decision. It’s the family’s request. He’s using traditional medicine and I’m using western medicine, that would cause conflict. I can’t let your traditional medicine mess around. You can ask the family."
Qian Yaoguang’s stepmother Lu Qing sneered coldly, "Director Wang is right. Our family only recognizes western medicine, not traditional medicine. Thanks for your good intentions, please leave."
Lu Qing told the big man at the door, "Make sure to watch carefully, don’t let any idle people in."
Xu Xiangbei had a doubt in his mind. When a treatment method fails, families are usually willing to try other therapies, yet Lu Qing firmly opposed it.
Lu Qing seemed very afraid of him going in, which showed this woman hardly had pure intentions.
Xu Xiangbei could only think these things in his mind and couldn’t tell Qian Yaoguang, as knowing his personality, it would lead to intense conflict with Lu Qing, with Qian Yaoguang the only one to suffer in the end.
He could only pull the about-to-explode Qian Yaoguang away from the ICU, "Let’s go to the cafe nearby for a cup of coffee and think of other solutions. There is always a way out."
Just about to leave the surgery building, Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang, it was Ding Keke calling, "How is it going, did you see Qian Duoduo’s father?"
Xu Xiangbei gave a bitter smile, "Don’t mention it, they didn’t even let me into the ICU, got kicked out by some Director Wang from your surgery department."
"What should we do then?"
"We’ll go have some coffee outside and think of a plan."
Ding Keke recalled something and said, "I know that Director Wang, he’s very harsh and a poor character, quite lecherous. A friend of mine, working in the same department with him, complained to me that Director Wang groped her butt, and she slapped him. As a result, two days later, she was fired for giving the wrong medication to a patient. We all know it was Director Wang who set her up. My friend complained to the dean but it was useless. She was still fired and sent home. Luckily, I didn’t work in the same department as him so I wasn’t harassed."
"Oh, is that the kind of story? I’ve got an idea, do you have time now to get a cup of coffee?"
Ding Keke teasingly said to Xu Xiangbei, "I don’t have time for coffee, but if you want to see me, come to the twentieth floor and we can meet in the hallway."
"I’ll come to the twentieth floor to find you right away."
Xu Xiangbei and Qian Yaoguang took the elevator to the twentieth floor, where Nurse Ding Keke was busy in the nurses’ office.
She wore a mask, revealing only her bright eyes, dressed in a white lab coat, showing off her shapely calves, round and smooth like jade.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei and Qian Duoduo, she took off her mask, seeing Qian Duoduo’s worried expression, she consoled, "Don’t worry, your dad will get better."
Qian Duoduo knew Ding Keke was comforting him and sighed softly, "Thank you."
Xu Xiangbei playfully teased Ding Keke, "Nurse Ding, can you check me for an illness?"
Ding Keke forced back a smile and said with feigned anger, "What illness do you want to check?"
Xu Xiangbei grabbed Ding Keke’s delicate and fair hand, placed it on his chest with a mischievous smile, "I have a heart ailment, can you treat it?"
Ding Keke raised a syringe in her hand, "That’s an easy fix, let me give you a shot and it’ll be cured."
Afraid that Ding Keke might actually jab him with the syringe, Xu Xiangbei fled in fear.
At the end of the corridor, there was a special meeting room, and as Ding Keke led Xu Xiangbei past a ward, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Xu Xiangbei curiously asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ding Keke stifled her laughter and said, "Can you guess who I saw in the ward this morning when I started my shift?"
"Who did you see that made you this happy?"
"It was those guys in the Mercedes last night. Those three had multiple fractures and ended up in that ward, and the three of them are in the same room."
Xu Xiangbei laughed, "What a coincidence. Did they recognize you?"
"I’m not in charge of their beds, besides, I wear a mask when I go to the ward, so they couldn’t recognize me."
Next to the meeting room at the end of the corridor was the bathroom. The Big Beard, who was taught a lesson by Xu Xiangbei last night, had just come out of the bathroom and ran into Xu Xiangbei.
Big Beard acted like he saw a ghost, gasping, staring at Xu Xiangbei in fear. But that wasn’t the most shocking expression, he quickly covered his face with his hands, as if afraid of being recognized, turned and rushed back into the bathroom.
Xu Xiangbei and Ding Keke exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. Big Beard was so scared after seeing him that he fled back into the bathroom. The funny part was, Big Beard ran into the wrong bathroom and ended up in the women’s restroom.
Then, a scream came out from the women’s bathroom: "Pervert!"
Big Beard, like a startled bird, frantically ran out from the women’s bathroom.
Qian Duoduo raised his fist and hit Big Beard squarely on the nose with a hard punch.
The punch landed right on Big Beard’s nose bridge, causing him to squat down in pain, fresh blood oozing out between his fingers.
