Chapter 2159: Chapter 2015: What Did You Do? (4)
"Alright, I’ll go get Professor He right away." Wang Xingye said and then left.
Meanwhile, Song Xiaodong, on his way home, received a call from He Wenbai.
"Master!"
"Elder He?"
"No, no, no, teacher, please don’t, please don’t, I dare not." He Wenbai said.
"What’s up?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Well, you know, last time I mentioned that I would visit you when I had the chance. Well, today I finally have the opportunity and I’d like to invite you for a meal. Would you do me the honor?" He Wenbai said with a smile to Song Xiaodong.
"Of course I can make time, but you can’t just invite me, you know I have so many wives at home." Song Xiaodong joked.
"No problem, bring as many as you want!"
"Alright!"
"Okay, tonight, Shuguo Chun, second floor, seven o’clock. Don’t be late."
"OK!"
"Uh... teacher, I have a question."
"Ah, go ahead."
"How many wives do you have now?"
"Let me count..."
He Wenbai was recommended by the hospital for medical treatment, but now he’s not seeing patients and simply went back to the hotel to rest.
The eldest son, Wang Xingye, called Zhang Zan and pleaded until Director Zhang told him where He Wenbai was resting so he could visit him directly.
He Wenbai opened the door and saw Wang Xingye. His face immediately turned sour, and he started to retreat to close the door again.
"Professor He, Professor He, please don’t do that! I’m here just to apologize!" Wang Xingye quickly put an arm through the door gap to prevent He Wenbai from closing it.
"What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you? If you don’t respect my mentor, I won’t treat your family." He Wenbai showed no leniency.
"Professor He, my father’s condition is really severe. We can’t delay any longer. If something happens to him because you don’t treat him, you won’t feel right about it either." Wang Xingye squeezed into He Wenbai’s hotel room through the door gap.
"Professor He, it’s indeed our fault. We truly didn’t know that Doctor Song was your mentor, and we didn’t mean any disrespect. We just doubted Doctor Song’s medical skills because he’s young and is a Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture doctor. Using TCM to treat a heart attack seemed inappropriate." Wang Xingye explained.
"You doubt his medical skills yet trust mine? I learned my medical skills from him too!" Professor He exclaimed.
"Professor He, please understand us as children. It’s my father, and he’s so ill; we really can’t take the risk." Wang Xingye said.
Hearing this, He Wenbai felt it made some sense, but since Song Xiaodong refused to treat the patient, he also wouldn’t. So he said to Wang Xingye, "You must understand us too. I know my teacher is indeed young, but judging people by their appearance is wrong. Even if Mr. Song was just a regular TCM doctor, treating him so dismissively, was that right?" Remembering the things that family said about Song Xiaodong, He Wenbai couldn’t help but put on a stern face again.
"Yes, yes, my siblings spoke too harshly. I’ll go back and scold them."
"That’s your business. Don’t waste any more time here with me. If my teacher doesn’t relent, I certainly won’t treat your father. This is your own doing. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for not recognizing Mount Tai when it’s right in front of you!"
With that said, He Wenbai sat back down on the sofa, signaling that Wang Xingye could leave.
Chapter 1028: Am I not saving face?
Wang Xingye, who is in the medical equipment business, has a successful career thanks to his father’s status and is usually arrogant and difficult. He rarely needs to ask favors. Seeing He Wenbai like this, he got angry too and said to He Wenbai, "My father was a leader in the provincial Health Bureau. Although he’s been retired for many years, he still has considerable energy. I know Professor He is a renowned medical expert in Ningjian Province. After all, you’re under his jurisdiction."
He Wenbai felt like laughing, took off his glasses, and glanced sideways at Wang Xingye, "Why are you telling me this? I’m an old man; do I still care about my career? I was planning to meet my mentor tonight and discuss this matter, but since you said this, go ahead and give it a try. Show me how much energy your father really has."
"Professor He, why must it come to this? One phone call from me and your hospital director will order you to treat my father. Otherwise, you can expect your professor title to be stripped, your reputation ruined, your hospital job terminated, and you won’t even receive a pension!" Wang Xingye threatened He Wenbai.
"Mr. Wang, I’ve long been retired and am only rehired. Talk of pensions and termination is irrelevant. Now you know why my teacher won’t treat your family. Do you think money and power allow you to do whatever you want? Using money to smash? Threatening with power? I’m an old man; what am I afraid of?"
Wang Xingye bit his lip, gave He Wenbai a fierce look, then turned and left.
He Wenbai closed his eyes and rested on the sofa.
Wang Xingye sighed, went outside, and called the director of He Wenbai’s hospital, then made another call to Yu Xiulin.
"Son, how did it go?" Yu Xiulin asked Song Xiaodong.
"Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already notified the director of He’s hospital, and the director will be calling him soon. If he doesn’t come, he can forget about ever being a physician again." Wang Xingye said.
