Chapter 1089 1087: Chu Man's Compromise
"Professor Zhang, Professor Li... wait!" Chu Man looked anxious.
Are you kidding?
These three are the backbone of the entire hospital.
If these three leave,
even if the hospital survives this crisis,
I'm afraid the medical strength will take a significant hit.
But when these three faced Xu Zheng's insults,
how could they bear such humiliation?
"Chairman Xu, you're going too far!" Chu Man was trembling with anger.
"Too far? Dean Chu, how am I going too far? I'm simply stating the truth, I'm just doubting their medical skill, I haven't asked them to leave." Xu Zheng said indifferently.
"Anyone else who wants to leave, I won't stop you." Xu Zheng looked at the other doctors remaining in the meeting room and said coolly.
The doctors looked at each other...
They also wanted to leave directly like the experts.
But after all, they weren't experts.
They received high salaries at the private hospital.
They weren't too willing to give up this high-paying job.
Seeing that his words had reached this point, these doctors still showed no intention of leaving.
Xu Zheng sneered, "What? Do you want me to personally see you out? I'm announcing now, you're all fired!"
All fired!
Upon hearing Xu Zheng's words, Chu Man almost stumbled.
These were the pillars of the hospital.
If they were all fired, regrouping such a medical team would not be easy.
The most crucial thing is,
most of these doctors were on Chu Man's side.
"Chairman Xu, you can't do this! We haven't made any mistake, you can't fire us!" a doctor in his forties turned pale.
He wanted to have the same backbone as the experts.
But he really needed this job now.
Because his mother was sick and needed long-term hospital treatment.
It's the time he needed money the most.
If he lost his job, where could he find money for treatment?
That's not the main thing.
The main thing is because he was a hospital employee.
He enjoyed certain preferential policies.
If he were fired,
his mother certainly couldn't continue to enjoy the preferential policies.
So, even though Xu Zheng's words were so unpleasant, he endured.
He didn't want to lose this job.
"Yes, Chairman Xu, how can you fire us?" The other doctors were also full of resentment.
They stopped working.
And being fired were two different things.
If they resigned voluntarily and sought out another job.
Even if they couldn't find a hospital as good as Jiangdu Private Hospital,
at least they could find a slightly worse hospital.
But being fired was different.
This would affect their future job prospects.
"Why? Just because you can't even treat one patient, if you can't treat, then why do I need you? We're a private hospital, not a public hospital, and certainly not a charity!" Xu Zheng sneered.
"Dean Chu, say something, you know my situation, I can't be without this job!" The other doctors were okay.
But the doctor whose mother was hospitalized looked at Chu Man pleadingly.
"Don't want to be fired? Sure, as long as you manage to treat the patient, I naturally won't fire you all, and not only that, I'll give each of you a 20% raise!" Xu Zheng said with a smile.
20% raise!
Actually, the raise was something Chu Man had always been striving for.
But every time it reached Xu Zheng, it met resistance.
The reason was simple.
These doctors were Chu Man's close associates.
He wished he could replace them all.
How could he possibly give them a raise?
But Xu Zheng actually said, as long as the patient is treated,
he'd directly give them a 20% raise!
Of course, Xu Zheng dared to say this because he understood Lou Xiuying's situation.
Even those experts were at their wit's end.
Expecting those attending doctors to treat her was simply wishful thinking.
Everyone fell silent.
Xu Zheng was clearly making things difficult for them.
"Director Han, you said that person can treat the patient, how confident are you?" Chu Man quietly asked.
"100%!" Han Qiuyun patted her chest and assured.
"Hmm?" Chu Man frowned upon hearing.
Han Qiuyun then remembered Chu Man's temperament.
She disliked people who spoke with such certainty.
And although she was confident in Su Chen, what if Su Chen couldn't treat the patient?
"At least 80%..." Chu Man corrected herself.
"80 percent?" Chu Man frowned slightly.
"Now, do you have anything to say? If not, get out." Xu Zheng said rudely.
"Xu Zheng, you better keep your word!" At this moment, Chu Man suddenly spoke.
"Of course, I keep my word." Xu Zheng replied.
"Fine, this is what you said in front of so many people; if we treat the patient, you will approve my raise proposal!" Chu Man gritted and said.
"No problem." Xu Zheng replied indifferently.
"Alright, you wait!" A determined look flashed across Chu Man's face.
As if she had made some decision.
"Okay, then I'll await Dean Chu's good news!" Xu Zheng said mockingly and then walked out of the meeting room with his hands behind his back.
After Xu Zheng left,
Chu Man said to Han Qiuyun, "Call him again."
"But... Dean... you smashed my phone..." Han Qiuyun whispered.
"Use mine!" Chu Man directly handed her phone to Han Qiuyun.
Thankfully, Han Qiuyun had memorized Su Chen's phone number.
Soon, the call connected.
"What should I say?" Han Qiuyun asked Chu Man, covering the receiver.
"Just tell him, whatever conditions he has, I'll agree. Ask him to come immediately and save the patient!" Chu Man gritted and said.
If she could, she would never involve Su Chen ever again.
But she had no choice.
Xu Zheng was always against her.
Frequently looking for reasons to target her.
So she had always been cautious.
Trying not to give Xu Zheng any leverage.
But this time, she had no choice.
If she didn't agree with Xu Zheng,
he would definitely follow through.
And directly fire those doctors.
That was definitely not what Chu Man wanted to see.
Especially for that doctor whose mother was hospitalized.
If he lost the hospital's preferential policy, he couldn't afford treatment.
Of course, the most important thing is.
That was a life.
If she had a way to save her but didn't,
her conscience wouldn't be at peace for life.
So, no matter what Su Chen's conditions are, she agreed!
