Chapter 404 - 405 Get Out
"Whatever," Song Xiaodong said indifferently.
Second Uncle immediately became anxious. After all, Song Yu was only the child of his cousin, while Song Xiaodong was his own elder brother’s child. He naturally had a closer bond with and more concern for Song Xiaodong. He quickly said, "Don’t do this. Let’s talk it out, Dongzi. Don’t be so stubborn. Work is a lifelong matter. We can’t let a small issue cause a big loss. How about this... Deqing, let me apologize on behalf of my nephew. Let’s just leave it at that."
Song Deqing immediately said, "Second Brother, this is a matter for the young people. You should stay out of it. Today is about celebrating your grandson’s wedding. We brought so many leaders to add shine to your face."
In rural celebrations, there’s often an element of competition. The more guests attend, especially important figures, the more face the host gains. To the Second Uncle, those local leaders were significant figures indeed, and their presence indeed brought him a lot of prestige.
However, with everything that was happening to Song Xiaodong, he felt quite uncomfortable. His elder brother had passed away, and when his family was struggling, he hadn’t been able to help the two poor kids, Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru. Now, the idea of Song Xiaodong being wronged because of his family made him feel even worse.
Song Xiaodong felt Second Uncle’s protective sentiment, which brought him considerable consolation. He said, "Second Uncle, just let it be. If some people really want to bully others because of their power, they will easily reap what they sow. We don’t need to bother with them. With his little ability, he can’t do anything to me."
Ding Yuelin sneered, "It seems I need to put you in your place, or you’ll end up looking down on me." As he spoke, Ding Yuelin had already dialed a number. Second Uncle wanted to speak, but Song Xiaodong, smiling, pulled him back and said, "Second Uncle, today is a day of great celebration. We can’t let a couple of flies spoil our mood. Let’s be happy and focus on celebrating for my great-nephew."
By then, Ding Yuelin had already made the call. Although he was part of the Ding family, his status wasn’t such that he could have connections with the dean of City First Hospital. He knew the head of the hospital’s personnel department.
"Director Li, this is Ding Yuelin. Do you have a doctor in your hospital named... right, Song Xiaodong?"
Director Li had a good relationship with Ding Yuelin and was also hoping to use him to make connections with the Ding family. This would make it easier for him to advance in City First Hospital. So, he immediately said with a smile, "I’ll check for you right away." With so many people in the hospital, he couldn’t remember them all.
