Chapter 673 691: Liu Zecheng Makes a Move
Without Zheng Changsong's help, Chen Jinnan would be left with nothing but tears. In terms of strength and assets, he's far behind Lin Mu, and when it comes to connections, he's nowhere near! You have to know that Lin Mu is acquainted with Wancheng government officials, while Chen Jinnan knows only small-time figures like department heads and section chiefs, so he's far behind Lin Mu!Chen Jinnan stroked his greasy bald head, face full of regret. If he hadn't forced Luo Zhongxing to leave, this situation wouldn't have arisen. It's truly his own doing! Now that trouble has come, he doesn't have anyone to help him. He watches helplessly as the hospital loses tens of thousands of dollars every day. Managing a hospital comes with high medical and human resource costs, and if it's not profitable, it loses money—day in and day out at that!
However, if the hospital is managed well, profits can be substantial. East City Hospital once made a million in a day, but now, with the opening of Flying Dragon Aimin Hospital, all the patients have flocked there. East City Hospital, once bustling, now doesn't see a single patient in a day, it's desolate and deserted.
There's no way around it, and Chen Jinnan can only blame himself for the current situation. As he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door, thump, thump!
"Who's there?" Chen Jinnan called from behind his desk.
"Uncle, it's me!" It was immediately clear that it was Chen Feng, that troublesome nephew of his.
"You little beast, what are you doing here again? Isn't this all your doing?" Chen Jinnan said with a hint of resentment.
"Uncle, it's my fault, so I've come to make amends. Let me in first," Chen Feng said guiltily.
After all, no matter what, Chen Feng was still his nephew. Even though things had turned out like this, he could at most scold him a few times, what else could he do?
"Come in!" Chen Jinnan called out.
After getting permission, Chen Feng pushed the door open and walked in. Behind him was an old man in his sixties, his face full of wrinkles but with eyes that were sharp. He was wearing a white-gray Tai Chi outfit, with a strand of white beard on his chin, exuding a serene yet dignified aura!
Chen Jinnan glanced at the old man behind, "And who might this be?"
Chen Feng smiled and stepped forward, "Uncle, this is the esteemed elder Liu Zecheng!"
Liu Zecheng's name was famous in the early days of Wancheng's underground world, but hardly anyone knows him now. After all, the Four Great Hall Masters of the Heaven and Earth Society do not participate in gang disputes, and since Chen Jinnan is not part of any gang, he knew nothing of this! But Chen Jinnan felt that this old man was definitely not ordinary!
"Hehe, Dean Chen, let me introduce myself. I'm Liu Zecheng, in the medicinal business. The news about you and the Flying Dragon Hospital has been buzzing in the medical circles, and I am incensed by such monopolistic practices that break industry rules and cut off people's livelihoods. So I wish to collaborate with Dean Chen!" Liu Zecheng stroked a tuft of beard on his chin as he spoke.
Upon hearing Liu Zecheng's words, a flicker of excitement passed through Chen Jinnan's eyes. At a time when he was at his wit's end, Liu Zecheng seemed like Bodhisattva Guanyin coming to his rescue!
Even though Chen Jinnan didn't know Liu Zecheng's true power, nor that this old man in front of him was one of the Four Great Hall Masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, he had the feeling that this person was definitely no ordinary man. As long as he could help him, that was all Chen Jinnan wanted!
"If that's really the case, then I thank you, Mr. Liu!" Chen Jinnan said excitedly, stepping forward to shake Liu Zecheng's hand.
Calling Liu Zecheng "mister" slipped out naturally. Dressed in a Tai Chi suit and with that white beard, he truly did look the part of an elder!
"Hehe, you're too kind, Dean Chen!" Liu Zecheng chuckled.
"Mr. Liu, since you're aware of this whole situation, you surely understand Flying Dragon's strength. Dealing with them isn't a simple matter. Do you have a way to deal with them?" Chen Jinnan asked.
"Hehe, since I'm here to meet you, I naturally have a way to deal with them," Liu Zecheng said.
Chen Jinnan's eyes lit up, "Mr. Liu, sit here and tell me slowly!"
Liu Zecheng sat on the sofa and went over the whole plan with Chen Jinnan. After hearing it, Chen Jinnan's expression faltered a bit. What Liu Zecheng wanted him to do was beyond his imagination, even crossing some legal lines!
Of course, it only touched the edge of the law and wasn't very serious, something Chen Jinnan could accept. However, this made him hesitant. If he got caught, it could end his life as he knew it!
"Hehe, is Dean Chen afraid?" Liu Zecheng chuckled. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"It's not that… it's just…"
"No worries, if Dean Chen prefers to suffer humiliation, this old man won't interfere. I'm sorry to have disturbed you!" Liu Zecheng stood up, looking like he was about to leave.
"Uncle, afraid of what? Flying Dragon has pushed us to this point. Are we just going to endure humiliation?" Chen Feng anxiously interjected.
Chen Jinnan's head was in chaos. Hearing Chen Feng's words, his eyes flickered further, deepening his resentment towards Flying Dragon!
"No wonder you can't accomplish great things, lacking ambition. Well then, I must've misjudged. You look out for yourselves!" Liu Zecheng stroked his beard, turned, and started walking out.
Chen Jinnan gritted his teeth. If he missed this opportunity, it wouldn't come again. Spurred by Liu Zecheng's provocation, he finally made up his mind!
"Mr. Liu, wait a moment, I agree!" Chen Jinnan called out.
Liu Zecheng turned back, smiling, "Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, I've thought it through. It's all or nothing!" Chen Jinnan said with resolute eyes.
"Hehe, good, then let's arrange it immediately. I want to stir things up at Flying Dragon Hospital!" Liu Zecheng chuckled.
Shortly after, in the lobby of the Flying Dragon Hospital in East City, two young men were holding an elderly woman. At first, they didn't attract much attention, but one of them suddenly took a stick and smashed it against the lobby glass with a loud crash, shattering glass everywhere. Passersby stopped and watched, and soon the entire lobby was crowded with onlookers!
On a bench in the lobby lay an elderly woman, her face purple, body trembling uncontrollably, and white foam continuously frothing from her mouth. The young man who smashed the glass shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Damn Flying Dragon Hospital, selling fake medicine to swindle money, harming the public. Yesterday we got medicine here, and today my mom is like this. We tested it elsewhere and it turned out to be drug poisoning. Here's the prescription. No one should come to Flying Dragon Hospital for treatment or medicine anymore. You get what you pay for, but Flying Dragon's medicines are all half-price, clearly a scam using fake drugs to deceive and cheat. This is a black-hearted hospital…"
