Power of Money

Chapter 154

Jason glanced at his parents and asked, "For that small surgery, you can just do it at any hospital. You don't have to go to St. De, do you?"

"That's right. Old Liu, who was from the west part of our village, removed his half a year ago. It didn't take long for him to go back to work as a farmer. He's recovering quite well."

As soon as Michael opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Hannah's rolling eyes. "Dude, this thing isn't in your body, what do you know? And I have checked before. The most powerful gallbladder surgeon in the country is in St. De Hospital. Just let him do it for me when the time comes."

"You're talking about Director Yang, aren't you?" Jason said, speechless. He didn't expect that his aunt, who had no other skills, was pretty thorough with her research.

"Yes, right. Director Yang is on the board of the national gallbladder operations. I need him for this kind of operation. I don't trust others." Hannah pouted and said.

Hearing this, Jason smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. Director Yang's schedule is pretty full recently. If you want him to do it, you'll have to wait till next month." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Next month?" Hannah frowned. "That can't do. If the stones grow during this period of time and go into the bile duct, it will be serious. If anything happens, can you shoulder the responsibility?"

"Then you can go to other hospitals. I said that it's just a gallstone removal surgery, many hospitals can do it. Why do you have to choose St. De?" Jason asked exasperatedly.

Hannah looked at Jason suspiciously. Then, she suddenly realized something and said, "I understand now. You just don't want to help. You wanted to bring an outsider to St. De Hospital for a

check-up, but you're giving me all sorts of excuses now. We still came over out of goodwill to see you, but I didn't expect that your family would be like this."

Michael panicked when he heard this. He quickly stood up and poured water for his sister. He comforted her and said, "It's fine. I'd let Jason come up with other solutions if this couldn't work. Nandu is a big city, there are many other good hospitals other than St. De."

"Instead of using existing connections, why should we go to other hospitals? If we were really going to other hospitals, with my connections in the district office, do I still need to come to you? We just want Director Yang to do the operation. As a doctor, is he as busy as the district mayor?" Jim sat by the side and said with great authority.

"But Director Yang is really very busy. Even if he is in Nandu, he may not have the time to do this operation." Jason said.

"See, this is the good son you have raised. Who is the outsider now? My father doted on me the most since I was a child. I remember that when I was in middle school, I was hospitalized with appendicitis. Others didn't come, and only my father came to see me every day. If he knew that I was like this, he would be really anxious. If only he knew that his son raised such a promising grandson who treats me like this."

Jason's grandfather had passed away for many years. Seeing that Hannah was even mentioning him now, Michael had to turn his head to look at Jason and said, "Jason, if we die, they'll be your only relatives left in Nandu. Blood is thicker than water. Why don't we think of a way?"

"All right, your son doesn't treat us as his family at all. It's just St. De Hospital. I'll call Chief Wang of the District Education Bureau now. There are so many people in society who get his help. I don't believe there's no one from the hospital."

Sarah rolled her eyes at Michael's family, took out her mobile phone and made a call.

"Hello, Chief Wang."

The call was connected.

"Sarah, it's the weekend. What's up?"

"I wanted to ask you something. You know so many teachers and students' parents. Are there any team leaders from St. De Hospital among them?"

Sarah was deliberately asking Chief Wang whether he knew any team leaders, so it would look better than Jason's nurse or doctor friends.

"St. De Hospital? I've never heard of such a hospital. I'm guessing it's a private hospital?" Chief Wang asked in confusion.

"Ah, my mother has gallstones. She wants to look for a Director Yang in the hospital to do the surgery. It won't be difficult for you, right?" Sarah said loudly.

"Well, I don't even know anything about the hospital, not to mention the doctors inside. How about I check for you later, or you can look for someone else. If it's just a gallstone surgery, she can just do it at any hospital right?" Chief Wang said.

Even Chief Wang didn't know the people inside?

Sarah frowned, but she quickly pretended to be surprised and said loudly, "Ah? You know the Director of the St. De Hospital? That's great. No need. The Director doesn't have to operate on my mother personally. Just arrange for Director Yang. I know. I'll wait for your news. Thank you, Chief Wang."

In fact, the call had already ended, but Sarah still pretended to hang up. Then she raised the phone in her hand proudly and said, "See, do you think it's a big favor? It's just a phone call for me. Now

you know the benefits of the company. You can't buy this with money."

Jason nodded. This was exactly what he wanted.

Being humiliated and having to suck up to someone else, Jason couldn't do it no matter how good- tempered he was.

"Look, we still have to count on Sarah at such a critical moment. What kind of relative are you? Blood is thicker than water. I was really wrong in the past. I treated you as family. Now thinking about it, you still have to rely on your own family."

Hannah didn't expect that Sarah could really have any connection with St. De Hospital, and the director at that! Naturally, she was proud and didn't want to leave any face for Michael and his family.

Michael and his wife's expressions did not look good.

Originally, this was just meant to be a family gathering, and there wasn't really much to talk about. They decided to find an excuse to send the guests off, otherwise, it would get increasingly uncomfortable.

"However, if some people still recognize their relatives, I think it's better to show the attitude of the younger generation. For Chief Wang's connections, it's better not to use them. It's an important relationship and I still need to work with him when I get transferred to the bureau. Some people, as relatives, can't even help with this little thing. We'd better not have anything to do with each other in the future." Sarah said sarcastically.

Jim nodded and agreed, "Sarah is thinking far ahead. These real connections should be used as little as possible. These are the people and behavior that the unit cultivates. Jason, I think it's better

for you to handle this matter. After it is done, I will meet Director Yang in person and invite him to dinner. It will be a great honor for him."

You're asking someone for help?

And saying it's an honor for him?

Jason looked at his aunt's family, speechless.

However, when he saw his parents looking embarrassed and sighing, he heard a voice suddenly say, "Uncle, I think what you said is right. Jason, why don't you just drop a note to your friends in the hospital? Anyway, I have to do a check-up. Let's do it together, so we don't bother them twice."

Phoebe?

Jason looked at her blankly, and saw her smiling and saying, "There's no problem, right, Jason?"

"Okay, I'll call him now. You guys talk."

Jason glared at her grumpily, stood up, and walked out.

"Please sit down. I'll go out for a while."

Phoebe also got up in a hurry and followed Jason out.

"Look, look, aren't they just getting someone to arrange an operation for us? What kind of attitude is this!" Jim said with dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, forget it. Jason has agreed. Hurry up and have some tea. Let's wait for him to finish his call and hear what he will say." Michael hurried forward with a smile.

"It's fine, how much water have I drunk? Do you want me to bloat to death?" Hannah curled her lips and said.

Jason walked out of the gate of the villa, stood next to the garden, lit a cigarette, and then desperately started taking deep breaths.

At the same time, Phoebe also came over and stood at the side with a smile, "Do you hate your relatives so much?"

"What do you think?" Jason asked back.

"I don't know." Phoebe blinked and said innocently.

"I can't wait to cut off their tongues, not to mention their gallstones..." Jason looked at Phoebe's bright eyes, but he couldn't get angry.

"All right, it's just a small operation. Don't worry, let the hospital do it for her. It's okay."

Phoebe patted Jason on the shoulder and said with a smile.
