"So, Shangguan Xiong is on guard against us now?"
With the answer in his heart, Shangguan Hong’s face turned ashen, and he no longer addressed anyone as ‘older brother’.
The duck that was almost in his grasp had flown away. This feeling truly infuriated him.
"Go, investigate thoroughly. Who exactly is this Mr. Lin!"
Immediately, Shangguan Hong’s expression hardened, and a daring idea surfaced in his mind.
Didn't he want to transfer his assets? If the intended recipient of the transfer died, then there would be no way to transfer them anymore, right?
"Yes, Father!"
Hearing Shangguan Hong's words, Shangguan Hai nodded immediately and agreed.
The Shangguan family's assets must belong to their branch; no one could stop them!
The next morning, as soon as Lin Chen arrived at the hospital and changed his clothes, he saw Xie Yun already waiting in the office.
Xie Yun looked energetic, clearly indicating good news.
"Lin Chen, the day for our Traditional Chinese Medicine department to rise has come!"
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Xie Yun clenched her fist and rushed forward.
"Huh? A day to rise?"
Hearing Xie Yun, Lin Chen was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
"Just this morning, the Patriarch of the Zheng family personally called our TCM department to make an appointment. He’ll be here to see a doctor at our hospital shortly!"
Speaking of this, Xie Yun was full of excitement.
Previously, Elder Meng’s identity was too sensitive. Even though they had cured his illness, they hadn't dared to boast about it. So, until now, very few people knew that Elder Meng’s illness was actually cured by the TCM department of the Fifth Hospital!
But things were different now. The Patriarch of the Zheng family was coming!
And he even made a public appointment, coming in broad daylight. This was practically free advertising!
If they could cure the Patriarch of the Zheng family’s illness, who in the Fifth Hospital would dare to look down on their TCM department in the future?
"Oh? The Patriarch of the Zheng family?"
Hearing this title, Lin Chen mused slightly before realizing that this person must have been invited by Old Master Shangguan Xiong.
After all, when he was at the Shangguan family’s residence, he had heard Shangguan Xiong mention that the old master of the Zheng family was a comrade-in-arms of Shangguan Xiong, and their relationship was very deep.
It could be said that the Shangguan family’s ability to stand tall in Hangzhou for so many years was inextricably linked to the Zheng family!
"Patriarch Zheng is Zheng Yong’s father. You know Zheng Yong, don’t you?"
Xie Yun, thinking Lin Chen didn’t know the real identity of the old master Zheng, quickly explained.
"Of course, I know him. He’s the head of the Hangzhou police force. How could I not know him?"
Hearing Xie Yun, Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Back then, when he had brought down Zhang Tao, it was Director Zheng Yong himself who led the operation.
"Well, since you know him, you should know that you mustn't be disrespectful when you meet Patriarch Zheng later."
"Also, during the treatment, you need to listen and observe more."
"As for Elder Meng’s illness, he told me that it wasn’t you who cured him. It was just that the special medicine that Governor Meng spent a great deal of money to acquire had taken effect. So, don't deceive yourself, understand?"
Xie Yun spoke to Lin Chen in an overly serious tone.
She had also thought that Lin Chen had cured Elder Meng.
However, she received a call directly from Elder Meng himself last night, and it turned out that his condition had improved due to the special medicine.
It had almost nothing to do with Lin Chen himself.
He had just stumbled upon it by chance.
"Yes, okay, I understand. Don't worry, Director Xie."
Lin Chen nodded slightly, adopting a professional demeanor.
"Director Xie, the Vice Dean has informed us that all department heads are to attend a meeting in Conference Room One!"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, a young nurse hurriedly pushed open the door of the TCM department and said to Xie Yun.
"Okay, I’m coming right over!"
Hearing the nurse, Xie Yun’s expression turned serious.
Without a doubt, it must be because Patriarch Zheng had arrived at the hospital, otherwise, there would be no meeting at this hour!
"Let's go, Lin Chen. Come with me to the meeting."
After instructing the nurse, Xie Yun turned to Lin Chen.
"Oh? Didn't you say it was for department heads only? I can go too?"
Hearing Xie Yun, Lin Chen was surprised.
My goodness, as a newcomer to the hospital, I get to attend meetings with the hospital leadership?
"You are my assistant. Each department head can bring one assistant. Hurry up and grab your notebook and pen, don't keep the Vice Dean waiting."
Xie Yun was in a hurry. After packing what she needed, she and Lin Chen rushed to Conference Room One.
Inside Conference Room One, all the department heads of the hospital were already waiting.
Although the Fifth Hospital was a private institution, its medical capabilities were recognized as the strongest in Hangzhou!
However, as they walked into the conference room, a young doctor in a white coat approached them.
"Yun'er, you're here?"
Huang Junjie had a graceful demeanor, indeed possessing the aura of a handsome young master.
But unfortunately, both Xie Yun and Lin Chen knew his true nature too well, so they naturally didn't give him a pleasant look.
"Young Master Huang, this is a conference room. You’d better address me as Dr. Xie. After all, we’re not that familiar with each other."
Xie Yun cast a cold glance at Huang Junjie and walked past him.
"Hmph, Dr. Xie! The patient coming today is the Patriarch of the Zheng family! If your TCM department makes any mistakes, it will implicate our entire hospital!"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Huang Junjie immediately became angry.
He was a talented graduate who had returned from abroad. Even the hospital director treated him with great respect.
Yet, Xie Yun always treated him as if he were invisible. This was simply unbearable!
"Hmph, this is a matter for our TCM department. You don’t need to direct my actions from the Emergency Department."
Hearing Huang Junjie, Xie Yun still showed no warmth.
She was from a distinguished family of TCM practitioners. However, the previous generation of the TCM department had caused such a huge mess in the hospital that everyone in Hangzhou knew.
The TCM department of the Fifth Hospital was practically a joke!
Because of this, she hadn’t achieved any outstanding results since joining the hospital.
Therefore, she was determined to treat the Patriarch of the Zheng family well this time.
She would show the entire Fifth Hospital, and even all of Hangzhou, that TCM is not to be insulted!
