"We can wait, send our best wishes to Yuanyuan in surgery, and cheer on the hardworking medical staff..."
「At that moment, in the director’s office of the hospital’s main administration building.」
Liu Jin, who was reviewing some documents, saw Mr. Hao Junpeng enter and quickly stood up. With a warm expression, he said, "Mr. Hao, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?"
"Please, have a seat!"
Hao Junpeng, who was in his early sixties but still had a full head of black hair, wore a stern expression. "Director, you’re a busy man, and my time is precious, so I’ll get straight to the point."
"I need that office in the Little Red House."
"I’m also aware that you’ve assigned that office to your star pupil, Yan Feifan."
"However, I’ve taken a liking to it."
"Director, are you going to give it to me or not?"
The man’s aggressive tone greatly displeased Liu Jin.
Nevertheless, he kept a smile on his face. "Mr. Hao, that office is barely over twenty square meters. It’s quite small."
"Compared to your research center of nearly three thousand square meters for your team of thirty-seven, surely you can squeeze out a few dozen square meters of office space, can’t you?"
Hao Junpeng scoffed, "So, Director, is that a no?"
"As far as I know, several associate directors and chief physicians applied for that office, yet you gave it to Yan Feifan."
"He’s currently just a resident. He’s not even qualified to have a private office."
"Director, isn’t this favoritism a bit too blatant?"
Faced with this direct accusation, Liu Jin’s expression turned cold. "How I show favoritism or who I support is my business."
"If you have a problem with it, you can file a report."
Liu Jin added bluntly, "As for any requests you have, please submit them through the proper channels and procedures. We will review and make a decision as soon as possible."
"Mr. Hao, you may leave now."
Mr. Hao’s eyebrows shot up, and he said sarcastically, "Well, well. Now you’re giving me the bureaucratic runaround."
"Liu Jin, let me tell you, even the director of the Health Commission wouldn’t dare speak to me with such an attitude."
"Since I’m clearly not welcome here, I’ll just leave."
"The folks in Guangshen have offered me a twenty-million relocation bonus, with a guaranteed minimum of one hundred million in research funding..."
Despite his threat, Hao Junpeng didn’t see the concession he was hoping for.
Instead, he saw a mocking expression on Liu Jin’s face.
"Mr. Hao, that trick won’t work on me. I’m not like Mr. Cheng, who only ever wanted to smooth things over."
"You want to leave? Be my guest."
"But let me give you a little reminder..."
"I will be requesting a third-party auditing firm to conduct a departure audit on your research center’s use of funds over the past few years."
Hao Junpeng’s face changed drastically. He glared and stammered, "Liu Jin, you...!"
Liu Jin met his gaze without flinching.
After a few dozen seconds, Hao Junpeng was the first to look away. He turned to leave.
"Mr. Hao..."
Liu Jin called out to him, his voice cold. "At your age, you should be more careful. Some of your... activities... are already close to becoming public knowledge outside this hospital."
"Don’t let it get to the point where you ruin your reputation in your final years..."
