Power of Money

Chapter 160

"Sorry, every time you sign a document, there are two copies. There's no use tearing it up." the staff said lightly.

"Ha, I seriously doubt the nature of your hospital now. I'm going to report it to the unit and ask them to check. Is this hospital here to save lives or to rob money?"

As Sarah said, she took out her mobile phone and called someone.

"Hello Chief Wang, I'm Sarah. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

The call was connected.

"What's wrong, Sarah? It's the weekend but you keep calling me. Did anything happen again?" Chief Wang said with a faint smile.

"Chief Wang, I do have something to ask you. Remember when I called yesterday and asked you to inform the dean of the hospital to arrange a surgery for my mother? I am at the hospital now, but they don't allow us to go. They also asked us for 700,000 yuan in medical fees. Do you think we should report this to the superiors?" Sarah said proudly.

"St. De Hospital... I remember that I told you that I didn't know anyone there. But what kind of operation did your mother do? 700,000 yuan is too exaggerated." Chief Wang frowned and said.

"That's what we're talking about. I'm surrounded by them now. If you know someone who's in this field, please call them and ask them to come here. What kind of hospital is it? It costs 700,000 yuan for a gallstone surgery. It's an open robbery!" Sarah said loudly.

"Yes, I do know the section chief of the City Public Health Bureau. It's called St. De Hospital, right? Don't move. I'll call them now to see what's going on," Chief Wang said.

"Okay, I'll wait for your message."

Sarah said loudly and then hung up the phone.

"Just wait and see. The person I called just now is the leader of the health bureau. He has asked about this matter and is about to come over to investigate it. This lame hospital, let's see how long you can be arrogant for!"

Sarah said arrogantly, arms crossed in front of her chest.

"We'll wait for the superiors to check. However, if the patient stays here for one more day, we'll have to charge an extra day's ward and treatment fee. We hope that you'll be able to settle the bill together when you leave." the staff said lightly.

Would the public health bureau dare to investigate St. De Hospital?

Even the mayor himself would not dare to make such a boastful remark.

In the face of Sarah's threat, the staff still looked very calm.

"All right, she won't put on the show for long anyway. The City Public Health Bureau won't dare to intervene in the affairs here. Don't let her catch you here, or you'll suffer."

Phoebe smiled, patted Jason on the shoulder and left.

Jason was stunned for a moment. Before Sarah looked over, he hurriedly turned around and quickly followed Phoebe to the second floor.

"From the start, did you already plan to let Hannah pay the medical expenses?" On the balcony of the second floor, Jason stood beside Phoebe and asked.

"What do you mean did I plan this? It's perfectly reasonable to pay for medical services. Besides, they asked you to make this appointment on their behalf. Now they can't afford the medical fee. Who can they blame?" Phoebe said.

"Are you sure they can't afford 790,000 yuan?"

Jason really didn't know how rich his second aunt was. In his opinion, two people in the family were from the unit, and the house was also from the company. They should have some savings.

After all, every time they returned home during the Spring Festival, Hannah's family would point at them in front of her parents, making them look as if they were very successful.

"That depends on whether he can explain the source of the money clearly." Phoebe said, "If they don't clear the medical expenses before leaving today, then Hannah will be suspected of medical disturbance and purposely delaying medical fees, and she'll get investigated by the education department. I don't know the results, but there is one thing. Her teaching career can be ended, it won't even stop at suspension, and she will be fired directly."

"But what if she can pay the medical fees?" Jason asked.

"We're talking about 790,000 yuan. Don't think too highly of the salary of the unit staff. Unless their family has been thrifty for many years and has no large expenses, maybe they could afford this. But if they can't explain the source of the money, not only Hannah Qin, but your uncle will also have to accept the interrogation of the discipline inspection committee. The result could be light or heavy. If it's heavy, they will be handed over to the inspection agency. If it's light, they might have to be jailed for 6 years, 12 years if it's heavier. If it were you, what would you do?"

Looking at Phoebe's clear eyes, Jason shivered inexplicably.

"You didn't plan all this in advance, did you?" Jason asked subconsciously.

"I don't have such a big ability. Once they entered the hospital, they wanted good food, a good ward, and the best medical team. Just the operation alone would cost more than 500,000 yuan. They could have chose something cheaper but they didn't want to. Who can they blame for their own greed?" Phoebe said with a smile.

Jason dared to swear on his ten year career. Phoebe was definitely a devil. If she didn't work in the government, she would have wasted her angel- like appearance and top potential.

"Your phone is ringing," Phoebe reminded him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Jason took out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw that it was a call from his father.

"I think he's here to find out whose fault it is." Phoebe replied with a smile.

Jason took a look at her and walked to the other side with his mobile phone. Then he answered the phone hesitantly.

"Jason, what is going on? Why is it so expensive to get something done in St. De Hospital? Your aunt has to pay 790,000 yuan for a gallstone surgery. Do you want their lives?"

As soon as the call was connected, Michael's anxious voice was heard.

"790,000 yuan? I don't know. It's aunt who chose the hospital. Doesn't she know this?" Jason repeated whatever he heard from Phoebe.

"Your aunt said she doesn't know either. She thought you would arrange everything. Now they are trapped in the hospital, and they can't get out. The whole family is in a hurry. This hospital belongs to your biological parents'. Why don't you think of a way to help them?" Michael asked.

"How can I help her? Do you want me to foot the 790,000 yuan, or do you want me to call David Shen, telling him that I have a relative in St. De who can't afford the fee after she got a surgery

done. And after that, get him to call the Director and waive the bill?" Jason said.

"Please don't call him. Our trip to Nandu was enough trouble for Mr. Shen. It would be really embarrassing to look for him over this."

Hearing his father's down tone on the phone, Jason sighed and said, "Dad, we treat second aunt and her family as relatives, but when did they treat us as relatives? You are the man of the family. You always call her on your own initiative during the holidays. When did she ever care about you? Even if you pleaded with them on the phone to visit my grandparents' graves every year, then they would just show their faces in our hometown."

"And to tell you the truth, in my four years in college, my second aunt and my second uncle-in-law never called me over their house. Some time ago, I went to his house because of you, and they didn't even pour a glass of water for me. At that time, I was hungry and they nagged at me for half a day. A relative like this, you want me to foot their 790,000 yuan bill? Honestly, I can't do it."

"What's more, you and Mom also saw how they mocked me yesterday. Now we are living a good life and don't care about these things. But what if we were still the same as before and had to live life honestly, do you think they will still treat you as their big brother?"

Jason vented all the anger in his heart in one breath, and finally added, "You'd better handle this matter with Mom. Pretend that you don't know about this. I will handle it well... at least, I won't embarrass them too much."
